"It's alright, but... sigh, my cultivation has been sealed again!" Zhunti was immediately distressed when he felt his cultivation was sealed.

At the same time, a thought struck him, and he sensed that something was wrong.

How come the sealing techniques are exactly the same?

Recalling the monsters they had encountered before, the sealing method was surprisingly consistent.

"Good, everyone's rested enough, right? Get back to work!"

At this moment, Lao Hei also came over and gave instructions to the four men.

Tang Sanzang and his two companions walked out helplessly, and Zhunti, who had just arrived and was unaware of what was going on, could only follow along.

Once outside, they saw that the guide was still hanging.

The three bowed quickly and politely, and Zhunti, who was following behind, showed a sorrowful expression on his face.

My brother is really in a bad situation!
Has it been hanging here all this time?
It seems I must proceed with caution!

Snapped! !

Just then, Old Hei slapped Zhunti on the back of the head, causing Zhunti to stumble.

"New guy! What are you looking at? You want to be hung up like that too?"

Looking at Zhunti, who was constantly rubbing the back of his head, Lao Hei said viciously.

Zhunti dared not look any longer and obeyed, going outside.

Not long after, at the mountaintop plantation.

"Holy crap! Are you sure this is a spiritual seed from our Buddhist sect?"

At this moment, Zhunti stared wide-eyed at the seedlings in front of him, utterly shocked.

One could see powerful suction forces continuously drawing in the spiritual energy within his body.

Tang Sanzang and his companions smiled wryly as they were being continuously absorbed.

Seeing the appearance of the three people, Zhunti understood that this was the spiritual seed that they had given to the monkey before.

How could such a terrifying devouring power be generated!
In the days that followed, Lao Hei would bring the four of them every day.

Not long after, those spirit creatures finally grew up.

The day of harvest is not far away!

Not far from Lingshan.

At this time, the monkey returned to Mount Ling, weary from its journey.

Looking at the sacred mountain so close at hand, a cunning glint flashed in the monkey's eyes.

He then quickly composed himself, revealing grief and unease.

Soon after, they finally arrived at Lingshan.

The monkeys that arrived at Mount Ling did not utter a word and went straight into the Great Buddha Hall.

In front of the three Buddhas, they found a place to sit down and rest.

This left the three Buddhas looking at each other, completely baffled as to what the monkey was up to.

"Wukong, why are you back again?"

"Right, weren't we supposed to be rescuing Tang Sanzang and the others? Where are they?"

"Could it be... Wukong, don't be discouraged. The journey to the West is fraught with difficulties, we still need to persevere!"

The monkey glanced at the three Buddhas, then remained silent.

However, the look of desolation on his face only increased.

This put the three Buddhas in a difficult position!

They immediately contacted the sage to inquire about how to handle the situation.

The monkeys in the main hall disappeared shortly afterward, and the Buddhas were not surprised.

Everyone understood that this was the sage who had summoned the monkey.

"Wukong, what's wrong with you?"

A look of surprise flashed in Yuanshi’s eyes as he looked at the monkey, who seemed to be autistic.

"This journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is too difficult, I want to quit!"

The monkey plopped down, lowered its head, and didn't look at Yuanshi.

Laozi and Yuanshi exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Why has she become withdrawn?
Aren't you betraying Buddhism?
"Hey, Wukong, Tang Sanzang and the others are waiting for you to rescue them! You can't act impulsively!" Helpless, Laozi could only try to persuade the monkey with kind words.

"Yes, tell us what difficulties you are facing, and we will definitely help you solve them if we can."

The old man, who was standing nearby, simply squatted down and began to speak earnestly and patiently.

"You must first improve my cultivation level and give me more magic weapons for self-defense, otherwise I won't go!"

The monkey turned around and refused to look at the two sages.

Suddenly, Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi understood!
This plague-ridden monkey just wants more benefits; otherwise, don't make him do anything.

The two sages discussed the matter but found no solution, and ultimately had to compromise.

Not long after, the monkey, as if his expression had changed, left Mount Ling with a beaming smile...

"That damn monkey! Damn it, he's infuriating me!"

Yuan Shi clenched his fists, veins bulging.

If it weren't for the great cause of obtaining the scriptures, he would have preferred to kill the monkey outright.

They used to know how to restrain themselves, but now they're all daring to bully and oppress the saints!

"Alas! This is the only way. Let's wait for Jieyin and Zhunti to return, and then we'll go together to see our Master!"

Lao Tzu sighed, his eyes filled with even more worry.

Yuanshi nodded. It was time to find Master Hongjun.

After all, they didn't have many treasures left, and all their efforts had left them penniless.
What kind of trouble has this gotten into...?
Fall into the empty mountain.

Because Tang Sanzang and his companions took good care of it for many days, and later the saint Zhunti joined in to transfer spiritual energy to the spirit seed.

Before long, the planted spiritual seeds grew and matured.

There were countless spirit rice plants that had already grown, as well as various grains, fruit trees, and so on.

All of them radiated a hazy, ethereal light, giving them an otherworldly appearance!

Old Hei looked at the land full of crops and felt very gratified.

"Your Majesty, this is just the staple food. You can also learn from the humans and raise some poultry!"

"This will provide meat for the rats, and they will never have to worry about food again!"

Seeing Lao Hei's happy expression, Yun Zhongzi immediately stepped forward to offer his advice.

"Good, good, good! That makes sense! In that case, we really won't have to worry about the future!" Old Hei, who was already happy about the bumper harvest, was now even more hopeful for the future.

Zhunti, standing to the side, seemed somewhat helpless.

It turns out that the first time they offered the rat demon a meal, it was just another opportunity for the rat demon to extort money from them!
What's even more outrageous is that it was his own Buddhist disciples who were planting the land for him!
Seeing the smug Old Black, Zhunti couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Alright, you've all done a great job. I'll reward you later!"

"Let's harvest these now! Time to prepare for the second season!"

Old Hei waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please wait a moment, we... wait a minute! Your Majesty, shouldn't the second season be handled by your rat horde?"

Just as Tang Sanzang was about to readily agree, he suddenly realized something was amiss in Lao Hei's words.

After all, it was agreed beforehand that once the cultivation of these spirit seeds was successful, they could be handed over to the rats.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated that they were being let go, that's the gist of it!
"That's right! You guys continue to guide my little rats and their offspring. From now on, this territory is in your hands!"

A sly smile flashed in Lao Hei's eyes as he spoke matter-of-factly.

These words filled Tang Sanzang and his companions with shock!
They realized they had been tricked by the cunning old black man!

At that moment, they all understood why the white mouse was called Old Black.

He's shameless and ruthless!
Seeing the despair on Tang Sanzang and the others' faces, Lao Hei couldn't help but sneer.

He then walked to a peach tree, picked a peach, and took a bite.

"Stay with me and you'll get your share of benefits. But if you try to run away, well, you know what will happen!"

"Hmm, this peach is really not... Wow!! Phew!! What's wrong with this peach? It's so spicy!!"

Just as Old Hei took a bite of the peach and was about to praise it,

Suddenly, I realized that I hadn't bitten into a peach.

It's more like an incredibly spicy chili pepper!

Old Hei's face was completely red, and his breath was even steaming! (End of Chapter)
