Chapter 159 Come Back to Earth with Me

Upon hearing this, Meng Bai was overjoyed.

Good, good, as long as Yu Xuanchen can obtain the method of transformation, as long as she can have a human appearance, regardless of beauty or ugliness, then everything will be easy.

"Thank you." Meng Bai laughed heartily, and just then he saw Lu Yunluo standing on the rooftop below.

She stared at herself, wanting to come closer but not daring to.

Then he said, "I am acquainted with Miss Yunluo of your esteemed household. I will go to her residence to wait for her. What do you two think?"

"Please do as you please, Immortal Master."

Meng Bai clasped his hands in greeting to them, then leaped up and landed on Lu Yunluo's rooftop, where he sat down with her on the ridge.

"Is there any wine?" Meng Bai hadn't even had a chance to drink the wine to celebrate his ascension to immortality yet.

Now he has reaped a great harvest, and all the magical treasures, immortal techniques, elixirs, transformation methods, and Yin-Yang fruits have been sold.

All that's required is one Yuan Yang Ear, which is definitely worth it!

As Lu Yunluo instructed the maid to fetch wine, she looked at Meng Bai's frail and broken face and asked worriedly, "You... what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Meng Bai didn't tell Lu Yunluo anything about Yuan Yang.

It sounds like I'm deliberately trying to provoke her; there's really no need to make Lu Dai feel uncomfortable about this.

"Fu... Meng Zhenxian."

"Call me whatever you want, don't be so formal. I don't have many friends here, and you, my former enemy, are one of them. You know, the things in this world are truly strange."

Although Lu Yunluo was despicable before, she was genuinely kind to Meng Bai. She always thought of Meng Bai first when there was something delicious or fun to do.

In addition, last time at the gate of the Zheng Shen Mansion, if it weren't for Lu Yunluo's help, Meng Bai would probably have been beaten up by Lu Shenyou.

This left Meng Bai with no way to argue with her.

“An enemy?” Lu Yunluo didn’t know that the ghost she had encountered during the previous sparring session was Meng Bai; she thought it was just a coincidence of names.

“You beat up my sister Yu Xuanchen, but Xintang retaliated during our last sparring session, so we’re even.” Meng Bai continued to reinforce his persona.

"Yu Xuanchen is your sister?" Lu Yunluo asked in surprise.

"My biological sister from my past life."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunluo suddenly stood up, then squatted down next to Meng Bai, looking pitiful, and said, "I...I don't know. If I had known, I definitely..."

"Never mind, it's all in the past. Sit down, don't be nervous." Meng Bai patted the person next to him.

It was as if they were having a casual chat: "You're about to descend to the mortal realm with Yuan Zhong. Do you have any plans?"

"No~" Lu Yunlu shook her head.

Then he added self-deprecatingly, "I...I'm dull-witted and all bark and no bite. You don't know, the last time I sparred with Su Xintang, she scared me so much that I hid behind someone."

I've never been liked by my elders, and no one believed I could become a god. I owe this position as a sacrificial attendant to you.

"What happened to the sacrificial offerings we obtained using the Purple Lotus Divine Token last time? Who took them?"

"I took it."

"Didn't you win the position of attendant priest by competing for the seventh position?" Meng Bai asked, puzzled.

"My great-aunt instructed that whoever performs best in the Dream Realm will have the right to decide the position of assistant priest obtained by exchanging the Purple Lotus Divine Token."

"I made it into the top seven, so the decision-making power for the assistant priest position was given to me. The clan allowed me to choose a member to accompany me down to the mortal realm," Lu Yunluo explained.

"That's great, you can pick one that listens to you."

"Why should I! I don't care who goes. Just give me back what's rightfully mine, and that's a reward?" Lu Yunluo said, her eyes reddening.

She only gets angry in front of other people.

But sitting next to Meng Bai, her anger turned into grievance.

"You can't think like that. If it weren't for the Lu family's power, how could you possibly coerce Xintang on your own? You couldn't even beat her. So, the sacrificial offering truly belongs to the Lu family."

Now that the decision is in your hands, wouldn't it be better to use it to exchange for some magical treasures and resources with your brothers and sisters, and prepare more for becoming a god? Why are you throwing a tantrum? How old are you?"

However, maturity has nothing to do with age; it depends more on the environment in which one grows up.

Just like on Earth, in ancient times, people as young as thirteen or fourteen would shoulder the burdens of life; but in modern society, thirteen or fourteen is still considered a child.

Celestial beings generally have long lifespans. Coupled with their isolated living environment and the lack of social interaction during cultivation retreats, most of the celestial children mature late.

"Can someone like me, who retreats to the back of others when things go wrong and begs for mercy when I get beaten up in a fight, really become a god?" Lu Yunluo lowered her head.

"I have a senior named Han Li, who was born with extremely poor aptitude. After he joined the immortal sect, everyone thought that he would have little success in this life, that he would not be able to produce immortal flowers, and that he would not be able to cultivate the immortal path."

Not only that, his first reaction to any trouble was to retreat behind the crowd. Having cultivated for a thousand years, he spent nine hundred of those years being hunted and fleeing, thus earning him the nickname "Han the Runner."

"Han Paopao?"

“Yes.” Meng Bai couldn’t help but chuckle. “He had poor aptitude and would run away whenever he encountered trouble, but he seized every opportunity to improve and eventually achieved the Great Dao.” After saying that, Meng Bai continued, “Yunluo, you have the bloodline of a true god and are a member of a great clan. The resources of your clan can support your cultivation. It’s okay if you like to hide, and it’s okay if you beg for mercy after being beaten.”

Being a little timid and cautious isn't a flaw. As long as you can survive, what does it matter if you suffer some humiliation? You must seize every opportunity to move forward.

Keep walking forward, and one day when you look back, you'll find that all those who once doubted you, mocked you, and bullied you have been left behind.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunlu's nose began to sting with tears.

She hugged her knees, rested her head on her knees, looked at Meng Bai beside her, and said with red eyes, "No one has ever... never told me these things before. Even my parents don't think highly of me."

"Whether others think it's good or not is not important. As the Book of Changes says: 'The movement of heaven is full of power. Thus the superior man makes himself strong and untiring.'"

"Another classic says: When Heaven is about to entrust a great task to someone, it will first test his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body, leave him destitute, and thwart his actions, so as to strengthen his resolve and increase his abilities."

"Yunluo, don't underestimate yourself."

Upon hearing these two classic passages, Lu Yunluo, as a cultivator, unexpectedly felt a connection.

Even when Meng Bai had just read two passages of classic texts, the immortal energy within his body seemed to tremble, giving his pronunciation an indescribable mystical quality.

This state of affairs was quite novel to him.

However, before he could figure it out, Lu Dai suddenly landed beside him.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yunluo quickly turned around and knelt down: "Grand Aunt".

“You are a lucky one. You have just become a sacrificial attendant and a true immortal has already taught you the way of cultivating your mind.” Lu Dai used her magic to lift Lu Yunluo up.

"The way of cultivating the mind?" Lu Yunluo was a little confused. Was it just those few words?
"The True Immortal chants with the sound of the Dao. Don't you feel its extraordinary nature? Yunluo, you should study it more. It will be of great benefit to your resistance against the mysteries of all living beings in the future."

"Grandson understands." Lu Yunluo hurriedly bowed her head in greeting, but couldn't help but steal a glance at Meng Bai sitting to the side.

She glanced over and saw that Meng Bai had winked at her.

Seeing this, Lu Yunlu felt a pang of sadness in her heart. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever been so kind to her!

Lu Dai was also puzzled, so she transmitted her voice and asked, "Did Yunluo also have a connection with you in your past life?"

"No, I just think your teaching skills are really bad. You've ruined your whole family. I'm just doing this for you since I have nothing better to do." Meng Bai was still trying to maintain his persona.

"..." Lu Dai wanted to refute, but she found herself unable to refute it and could only argue, "The younger generation is being taught by my niece-in-law."

"Oh, is it because the method of transformation has arrived?" Meng Bai changed the subject.

“I know you’re anxious, so I went to retrieve it myself. However, transformation requires the use of a complete cultivation technique, so even if you take it back, you won’t be able to use it.”

Fortunately, there was also a snake-like appearance transformation spell inside, which could be used to transform into human form, but it required magical power to maintain. Lu Dai flipped her hand, and a jade disc appeared in her hand.

The transformation of a demon refers to the cultivation of a second form, namely, a human form.

Demons who can transform can freely switch between human and human forms without needing magical power to maintain them.

Spells that alter appearance are far less effective.

However, this was enough for Meng Bai; he only needed Yu Xuanchen to have a human appearance.

So he took the jade disc in his hand and said to the two of them, "Farewell, see you again when you have time."

"Wait!" Lu Dai hurriedly called out, and then sent a jade pendant to Meng Bai from a distance. "This is a communication jade talisman that I made. You can use it to contact me."

Meng Bai put the jade talisman into his storage space, then left the Lu family at supersonic speed and headed towards the cave.

Watching his disappearing figure, Lu Dai suddenly felt a little dazed, thinking to herself: Am I really that bad at teaching my descendants?
No, they have cultivation resources provided; it's just that they don't work hard enough.

That damned old lecher! One minute he says he admires me, the next he says I'm bad at educating people and he's corrupting my moral compass!
Cursing inwardly, she turned to look at Lu Yunluo beside her.

After pondering for a moment, he flipped his hand, and a string of beads shrouded in mist appeared in his palm.

"Cloud Snail, this is a second-tier replica of my natal magic treasure, the Nine Thunder Mystic Rain Pearl. You must not slack off during your descent to the mortal realm to serve as a sacrificial attendant. Strive to write the true scriptures as soon as possible and attain divine status."

"Thank you so much for the treasure, Aunt." Lu Yunluo trembled with excitement.

Nine Thunder Mystic Rain Pearl?
The one worn on the ankle in the portrait of my great-aunt?

"Remember, you must carefully study the Heart Sutra that Immortal Meng Zhenxian passed on to you, and do not waste it." After saying this, Lu Dai's figure slowly dissipated.

"I will heed your teachings!" Lu Yunluo quickly replied.

After expressing her feelings, she thought to herself: I remember even the poems he wrote very well, so I certainly won't forget these Heart Sutras.

Thinking of this, she turned around and looked in the direction where Meng Bai had disappeared.

Meanwhile, Meng Bai had already arrived at the cave.

Su Xintang, whom I had contacted beforehand, also returned with Yu Xuanchen.

Standing inside the cave, Meng Bai looked at Yu Xuanchen and took out two items from his hands. He said, "This is a method for snakes to change their appearance. Once you learn this spell, you can transform into human form."

"This is the flesh of the Yin-Yang Fruit. If you eat it, you will sign a contract with me, and I can take you back to Earth to cultivate."
