When Chi Buddha saw this, he struggled to break free, but was immediately subdued by the combined forces of the Red-Gold Twin Hammers Immortal and the Black-Robed Immortal.
Shui Miao did not leave. Instead, he quickly shifted his gaze and approached the White-Robed Immortal, acting timid and frightened. “Esteemed Immortal,” he said, “I was killed by this thousand-year-old female ghost, and now only a fragment of my soul remains. Could you please give me a chance to take revenge and kill her myself? If not, at least let me beat her up a bit!”
Shui Miao put on an innocent and silly expression.
In front of these proud immortals, this move was perfectly timed.
Immortals, lofty and superior, generally felt pity for pitiful, weak mortals.
Seeing Shui Miao act this way, the White-Robed Immortal frowned. “Your soul is so weak that even a ray of sunlight could dissipate it. Forget about beating her up; I’ll take you to the Ninth Heaven to be a Taoist apprentice.”
“I don’t want to be an apprentice! I want to kill her! She killed my whole family, and I must take revenge!” Seeing his act was working, Shui Miao decided to play it up even more, pretending to be on the verge of tears.
“Aww, how pitiful!”
The White-Robed Immortal shook his head. “Alright, alright, I’ll let you hit her.”
“Can’t I kill her?”
Shui Miao frowned, clearly dissatisfied.
Seeing Shui Miao’s innocence, the White-Robed Immortal smiled slightly. “Be content. She’s a major criminal in the Immortal Realm; even we dare not kill her, yet you dream of it. Little one, what’s your name?”
“I’m called Xiao Shadan, everyone calls me that.” Shui Miao sighed, crouching down and looking at the White-Robed Immortal with a childish tone. “Big Brother, who are you all? I want to know who you are and your names. When I grow up and gain power, I’ll repay you, believe me, I always keep my word.”
“…”
After saying this, Shui Miao himself felt a bit nauseated.
However, these words were very pleasing to the ears of the Immortals.
“Haha! Great! We’ll remember that. We’ll wait for you to grow up and repay us.” The White-Robed Immortal was in high spirits. He reached out, patted Shui Miao’s head, and then stroked his little mustache. “We come from the Jade Void Flower Mansion in the Sixth Heaven of Immortality. Master Hong Xu is our teacher, who has accepted a total of thirty-six disciples, all Golden Immortals. I am the second eldest among these disciples, named Bai Yu. The Golden Immortal holding the twin golden hammers is the third, named Jin Taian. The Black-Robed Immortal is fourth, named Yin Tianhou. The one holding the Axe of Creation is fifth, named Xiong Gang. The immortal carrying the Black Flame Qiankun Gourd is sixth, known as Huo Houzi (Fire Monkey). Did you remember all of that?”
“I did!”
Shui Miao nodded quickly, then asked, “Big Brother, what’s the Immortal Realm like? Do you all have treasures? Are there any little pills that can make you stronger when you eat them?”
Shui Miao was being shameless, deliberately calling pills beans, purely a move to show off cuteness and get closer.
“Little beans? What are little beans?”
The Black-Robed Immortal, Yin Tianhou, asked curiously.
Shui Miao scratched his head. “It’s something like Dan… Dan something…”
“Haha! You mean this?”
White-Robed Immortal Bai Yu flipped his hand, revealing a pill. “Here, this Spiritual Void Pill is for you. Your soul is too weak now; even taking this might be too much for you.”
“Thank you, Big Brother!”
Shui Miao happily took the pill and swallowed it. Immediately after, he felt his strength in all aspects increase, but the pill’s effect was really weak. “Hmm, why don’t I feel any change? Big Brother, did you give me a fake pill?”
“This kid, he’s got potential!”
The Black-Robed Immortal Yin Tianhou flipped his hand and produced a dark pill, offering it to Shui Miao. “Kid, if you can take this pill and still survive, how about becoming my apprentice?”
This was the Great Strength Spirit Pill, a pill that rapidly enhanced spiritual and soul power.
This pill was so potent that even the lowest-level Immortal would be unable to withstand it. If one could survive it, they would surely be a rare talent.
In Shui Miao’s case, taking this pill would very likely result in his spiritual body exploding.
Others wanted to stop him but seeing Yin Tianhou’s desire to take an apprentice, they refrained.
“This pill doesn’t look good. Could it be another fake with no effect?”
Shui Miao grabbed the pill and threw it into his mouth, chewing it up with a few crunches.
Chewing the pill released its effects much faster.
The Golden Immortals were stunned.
But Shui Miao remained unfazed. After swallowing the pill, he looked at everyone with confusion. “Big Brothers, are you playing with me? These beans taste pretty good, but are they really pills?”
“How can this be?”
“This is impossible, impossible!”
“Could it be… could it be his father is a Celestial Lord or even a Celestial Sovereign?”
“I believe he’s naturally extraordinary, surely a lost descendant of an ancient Emperor!”
“Brothers, let’s teach this little guy, no, this little immortal apprentice, together, shall we?”
“Yes! Let’s cultivate him together. With his talent, he will surely surpass the eldest senior brother!”
All the Golden Immortals became excited.
Even Fire Monkey, who had been directing true samadhi fire at the millennium-old bronze coffin, rushed over in haste. Everyone chattered excitedly, as if they had discovered a rare treasure, focusing their spiritual power on Shui Miao, seemingly having completely forgotten about the millennium-old female ghost. When they spoke of surpassing the eldest senior brother, their eyes sparkled with an unusual light.
Shui Miao’s heart stirred. What kind of freak was their senior brother? Why did their eyes show such odd expressions?
These Golden Immortals couldn’t even see through Shui Miao’s soul form.
This was actually somewhat related to Shui Miao’s soul being refined by the Way of Nature.
Of course, it also had much to do with Shui Miao’s time in the Realm of Rakshasa. In the Realm of Rakshasa, Shui Miao had absorbed too many extremely yin spirits, deeply influencing his soul. These Golden Immortals had never been to the Realm of Rakshasa, so naturally couldn’t discern the nature of Shui Miao’s soul, instead finding it very natural, each regarding Shui Miao as a rare prodigy.
To determine just how great Shui Miao’s potential was, the Golden Immortals foolishly brought out all their pills, eagerly rushing to feed them to Shui Miao!
“How can this be?”
“Could this group of Golden Immortals really be deceived by him!?”
Inside the thousand-year-old bronze coffin, the female ghost’s divine consciousness flickered. Sensing this scene, she was instantly stunned! She could hardly believe that Shui Miao could so skillfully exploit human vulnerabilities and emotional weaknesses, subtly influencing others’ thoughts and manipulating their actions to accomplish his goals!
In fact, Shui Miao’s success was the result of various coincidences.
But at this moment, she regarded Shui Miao’s success as a special brilliance.
This brilliance left the millennium-old female ghost astonished and delighted, filled with regret and resentment.
She was delighted because Shui Miao was clever and flexible, everything he did seemed very natural, a method that could make enemies unable to defend against it.
She regretted and resented because she shouldn’t have trapped Shui Miao before; she resented the fact that now she was in danger, preoccupied with her own survival, and had no chance to start over again.
