I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 248 The Old Fox's Defenses Are Breached for the Second Time, and the Monkey's Reputation Is Damaged

Although Yuan Gong had the demeanor of a teacher, Xu Qing was still not entirely pleased.

Only a monkey would incite a fledgling cat to play with fire!

He should have realized the nature of a monkey long ago; even if he had cultivated to the point of immortality, a monkey would still be a monkey.

Why would anyone so easily take advantage of a monkey?

The sword techniques and supernatural abilities that Xuan Yu learned were, after all, priced.

Xu Qing was unwilling to be led by the nose by Yuan Gong, so he once again opened the Divine Travel Book and locked onto the location of Baiyun Cave.

The water zombie's magic power was completely drained in one go, but Xu Qing was not worried.

The forest energy of Yunmeng Mountain is abundant, and he also has the ability to use the transformation of Mao Jiang. Mao Jiang belongs to the forest, so even if he encounters the old fox's distraction, he still has the power to fight.

Wood and fire are mutually reinforcing. If the power of the mountains and forests is no match for the old fox, he still has the fire zombie transformation to command.

Based on the Five Elements and following the cycle, Xu Qing created a nested loop of reincarnation using only his own magical power.

Over here, Xu Qing, relying on his great strength, directly activated his ultimate skill to travel. After unfolding the Heavenly Book and determining the location, his figure appeared in front of the White Cloud Cave in the next instant.

The massive Taishi Peak still blocks the cave entrance, and the ancient cliff face is still covered with ancient vines and green moss, bearing the marks of time.

The only difference is that there is a little girl with her eyes closed and silent at the entrance of Baiyun Cave, like a stone sculpture.

Seemingly sensing Xu Qing's presence, the girl frowned slightly, and her eyelashes trembled incessantly, as if she were having a nightmare.

Xu Qing dared not make any rash moves. At this moment, Xuan Yu had clearly entered a dream. If he were distracted by external interference, it was very likely that he would lose the battle in the dream.

However, even if he can't interfere with Xuan Yu, can't he at least interfere with the old fox of Baiyun Cave?

Xu Qing arrived at the entrance of Baiyun Cave and released his aura into the cave.

Meanwhile, in the illusory realm created by the Holy Maiden, a cat, a fox, a young girl, and an old woman are locked in a fierce battle of magic.

Seeing that Xuan Yu remained silent and then turned against her with weapons after entering her dream, the Holy Maiden was already somewhat annoyed.

The old fox had cultivated for many years and was very knowledgeable. In addition, it possessed the supernatural power of sight, which allowed it to see the yin and yang, good and evil energies. It recognized that Xuan Yu was a nine-lived black cat.

However, this cat only had eight clones, and the Holy Maiden immediately thought of the black cat that the White Cloud Taoist used to refine the Nine Revolutions Mystic Pill.

Moreover, the black cat in front of them seemed to have some connection with Xu Qing, who had recently destroyed one of its demigods.

The opponent cut off its distraction to make it pay back the old debt of hunting the black cat and refining medicine at Ruyi Temple.

But why is this cat coming to find it now?
The Holy Maiden secretly summoned the Ghost Head Divine Blade, her face grim, and said, "You have nine lives, what does losing one mean? If we're talking about old grudges, your lover already caused me trouble a few days ago. The part of my spirit I lost is just enough to offset one of your lives, so why do you keep harping on me?"

Xuan Yu's face was contorted with rage as she snarled, "You vile fox! You taught me evil magic, causing me to lose my life. I've never forgotten this grudge in the past seven years. Immortal Xu avenged me by severing one of your demigods. How could you possibly let this go?"

"Demons hold grudges more than humans, you old fox, you can fool others, but you can't fool me!"

Hmph, cats are very clever!
"."

The Holy Maiden's face darkened, and she was about to reply when she suddenly smelled a familiar scent.

The scent was extremely yin and evil, yet it was mixed with the pure and clean aroma of incense and merit. Who else could it be but the two-faced youth wielding the giant axe?
In the illusion, the Holy Maiden's nostrils flared as she sniffed carefully. Upon detecting Xu Qing's scent, the old fox's expression clearly changed.

But it was in that moment of distraction that Xuan Yu seized the opportunity to exploit the opening.

Eight clones, accompanied by black demonic mist, swept towards the old woman standing in front of the White Cloud Cave.

The Holy Maiden instinctively summoned the tamed ghost dog from the divine blade to defend herself, but it failed to notice that one of Xuan Yu's clones was approaching it.

The clone did not condense any swords or blades in its hands; instead, it held two male and female sword pellets face down in its palm.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

The old woman smelled Xu Qing's scent and felt quite resentful. She called herself the Holy Aunt, but she had never received any merit from the human race. On the other hand, Xu Qing not only had an inexhaustible supply of merit and incense, but had even condensed a dharma form of vow power.

If that were all, the old fox would at most be jealous, not hateful. But here's the problem: the other party, who practically plastered virtues, compassion, and benevolence on his forehead, immediately saw through this imposter pretending to be a bodhisattva and saint, and decisively declared his hostile stance.

This sense of disparity caused the Holy Aunt, who had been pretending her whole life and was widely admired and loved by ordinary people, to instantly reveal her true colors. She seemed to have returned to the days when she was destitute, walking with a cane and being disliked wherever she went.

The Ghost Head Divine Blade slashed at the nearest clones. The old woman thought that the divine blade she had refined would easily kill the clones, but she did not expect that just before the blade was about to reach the girl, tens of thousands of golden incense sticks suddenly shot out from the girl's hands.

All the girls in front of me, dressed in black and with graceful and light figures, were shrouded in a holy glow.

The Holy Maiden's eyelids twitched, and her hand holding the bamboo cane unconsciously clenched.

A cat can attract so many offerings and prayers!
Although these incense offerings were not as exquisite as those used by Xu Qing, they were more abundant!
The Holy Maiden could tell at a glance that this cat did not often use incense to fight, while Xu Qing's skillful manipulation of incense was clearly the result of frequent use and accumulation of incense!

How many good deeds must one do to accumulate enough incense offerings?

Jealousy can distort a person beyond recognition.

The old woman's face was terribly gloomy, and vaguely, it seemed that the face of an old, white, fox-like creature with a pointed snout and thin cheeks was revealed!
"Little cat, I will devour your life today. When I am freed in the future, I will take over your temple, and from then on, the world will still sing the praises of my Holy Aunt!"

The old fox spirit lost control of her emotions, and the foundation of her cultivation, built over thousands of years using falsehood to achieve truth, was completely shaken by Xu Qing and Xuan Yu.

The fake can never become immortals; only the real can become immortals and ancestors!
Since that's the case, then it will substitute one thing for another, steal the foundation of Xu Qing and Xuan Yu, and then slowly change the Cat Temple into the Fox Temple, and the Baosheng Temple into the Holy Aunt Temple.
The old fox was calculating, but did Cat Fairy Hall and Baosheng Temple really gain their current reputation only because of their halls and temple gates?

The Holy Maiden, dressed in a monkey's crown, proclaimed herself holy, yet she never realized that she had already fallen into the mire of prejudice. If she continued down this path, not only would she fail to approach the immortal path in her heart, but she would also drift further and further away from her goal, until she was entangled in evil karma and could no longer extricate herself.

In contrast, Xuan Yu's nature has always remained pure, without any impurities. In other words, he has not experienced much of the harsh realities of society. Even if he had, he still cherishes a beautiful heart, which is simply naive.

It was only after encountering Xu Qing, a person whose behavior was completely inhuman, that I learned advanced coping skills.

In the face of this turbid and evil world, one must be flexible and adaptable!
The construction of Baosheng Temple and the Cat Fairy Hall, to some extent, protected Xuan Yu's proper physical and mental development. What could an old female fox, uncared for and neglected, possibly compare to Xuan Yu?

Saintess was jealous. While it was fighting in the illusion, the 'humans' outside kept swearing and threatening it to protect the cat demon in front of it.

We're all monsters, so why do you get to be cared for and looked after? The Holy Aunt's defenses crumbled.

Back then, in order to cultivate, it went around swindling and deceiving people. It finally managed to trick them into giving it the Heavenly Book to cultivate, but it was still chased and beaten by Master Yuan. How could the difference between demons be so great?

The Holy Aunt, who had been imprisoned in Baiyun Cave for a thousand years, had her mind completely twisted.

Sensing that the Holy Maiden's attacks were becoming increasingly ruthless, Xuan Yu was not alarmed but rather pleased.

It controlled seven clones to withstand all the pressure, leaving only one clone to wait for an opportunity to strike.

When the Holy Maiden's emotions were in turmoil and she was completely consumed by hatred, the sword pellet that had been lying dormant suddenly leaped out from one of Xuan Yu's clones!

The two sword pellets leaped into the air and transformed into white swords as white as snow and frost, their cold light piercing! The Holy Maiden felt a blur before her eyes, as if she had been blinded by the blazing sun. She strained her eyes and saw two long rainbows shooting towards her!

It recognized that rainbow light!

The goddess Xuan Nu defeated it using this sword technique.

The Holy Aunt was terrified. While hastily summoning the divine sword to defend herself, she also threw out the hundred-section bamboo staff in her hand.

The bamboo staff, imbued with concentrated thought, shattered with a clear, resonant sound, indistinguishable from a firecracker.

However, the sword pellets in the air were ever-changing. Although the bamboo staff blocked them once, it couldn't block them a second time!

The white bullet transformed into a streak of light once more, and in an instant, hundreds and thousands of cold rays burst forth, like a waterfall cascading down upon the Holy Maiden!

The Holy Maiden was somewhat traumatized by this sword technique and immediately decided to retreat. She no longer wanted to fight and summoned the ghost dog she had tamed in the divine sword to cover her and defend. Then, she began to chant incantations and make the dream drive away from the Xuan Jade.

Xuan Yu felt the dream's power repelling it and immediately showed a puzzled expression.

Does the old fox think that only it can control dreams?
Xuan Yu patted the small satchel slung across his body, and the next moment, a large, plump, white and tender worm that had been lying dormant for a long time suddenly jumped out of the satchel!

As the giant white worm shot high into the air, it was still writhing its body. When it reached its highest point and was about to fall, the giant white worm, which was in a dream, suddenly began to swell.

One circle, two circles, three circles.
The dream-eating worm's tender white belly swelled from the thickness of a child's arm to the thickness of an adult's thigh, and then to the thickness of a well opening and a millstone.

When the giant white worm thumped its mandibles and waved its three pairs of legs as it fell to the ground, its body had already swelled to the size of a city gate!

"Gu insect?"

The old woman looked at the insect with blood-red eyes and covered in white hair, and felt a chill run through her body, as if she had encountered a natural enemy!

The Holy Maiden bristled and immediately began chanting incantations with even greater effort. However, the girl in front of her not only stopped fading but became even more solid!

Upon closer inspection, it discovered a small black insect crawling below the girl's nose, which was hypnotizing her and preventing her from waking up.

"Sleepy bugs? Where did you get so many strange bugs?"

The Holy Maiden had only heard of such things from the gods of the upper realm. How could the little cat in front of her have such a treasure?

Xuan Yu did not answer. When the dream-eating insect lowered its head, it jumped directly onto the head of the big white insect. Then, like a king riding a big horse and commanding his worms, it directed them to devour all the dream buildings in front of it!

Mountains, rocks, trees, ghost dogs, and divine swords are no match for the Dream Eater!
The dream-eating worm was overjoyed. Besides sleeping, this worm's favorite thing to do was eat, and now it could not only sleep, but also feast in such a fertile dream world!

What could be happier than this?

It made the right choice to follow the cat that saved its life!
The old female fox refused to give up and wait for her death. She used the same trick again, turned around, lifted her skirt to reveal her old, yellowed tail and fox rear end, and peed a stream of fox urine on the big white worm!

Although fox urine is foul-smelling, it also has other effects. The Materia Medica states that fox urine can treat chills, fever, and malaria. The urine of fox demons, like the scent glands of weasels, scorpion tails, and snake teeth, has the same effect of defeating enemies and is considered an innate talent of demons.

The Holy Maiden once used this technique to defeat many of her enemies.

Body odor is so deeply ingrained that even if they bathe every day and scrub off several layers of skin, they still have to endure the stench for months before they see any improvement!
The Holy Maiden did not believe she could fail.

However, when it used its last resort, it found that the dream-eating worm behind it not only did not dodge, but instead opened its mouth wide and sucked in the dream-eating worm.

The Dream Eater smacked its lips; it was a bit spicy, but had a unique flavor.

"."

The Holy Maiden fell completely silent.

The White Cloud Cave Dreamscape is built according to reality. The senses of taste and pain inside are the same as in reality. If a person in the dreamscape dies, the soul of the person in reality will also be damaged, or they may even die together.

Saintess believed that her methods would still work in the dream world, but she never expected that in the past few years, there would be righteous people like Xu Qing who were covered in excrement and urine and would do anything to achieve their goals, and even outcasts like the Dream Eater who had no dietary restrictions.

Saintess sensed that she was being targeted. The people, cats, and insects in front of her were all incompatible with her, as if someone was deliberately trying to trip her up!
That's it! It must have been that white-haired monkey's scheme!

Apart from him, no one in the lower realm knows the Mysterious Maiden Sword Technique.

Having figured out the underlying issues, the Holy Maiden revealed a relieved smile.

It neither dodged nor avoided the dream-eating worm that opened its blood-red mouth to bite it.

In dreams, I can't defeat you, but if I ever escape this predicament, hehe...
The Holy Maiden wore a smile, but her eyes were even more sinister than before.

Yunmeng Mountain, outside Baiyun Cave.

Xu Qing looked at the large white worm that had crawled onto Xuan Yu's head, and the small black worm that had crawled under Xuan Yu's nose.

Baga cat?
Xu Qing's expression was strange.

The Sleepy Bug and the Dream-Eating Gu were little gadgets that Xu Qing had never paid attention to before, but he never expected that the cat would put them to use today.

Tsk, it wasn't a waste of time teaching him!
Unrestricted combat should be done this way!

Xu Qing was greatly relieved, and at the same time, he was completely at ease.

After about half a cup of tea's time, the girl who had been holding the sword with her eyes closed opened them.

"!"

Xuan Yu stared wide-eyed at the young man whose face was almost touching her nose.

"What is Xu Xianjia doing?"

Maomao was confused.

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze, straightened up, and his expression became unusually solemn.

"What are you doing? So the Immortal Xuanyu knows that he has to ask me, the Grand Master, before he can do anything."

"."

Hearing Xu Qing's sarcastic tone, Xuan Yu felt uneasy and subconsciously reached out to tug at Xu Qing's sleeve.

"Don't pull me away, do you know you're wrong?"

"Hmm, I'll definitely discuss it with Xu Xian's family first next time."

"There won't be a next time!" Xu Qing said irritably.

"Also, don't trust monkeys! No matter what breed of monkey it is, don't trust it!"
