Journey to the West: We're too early, Nezha is only seven years old.

"What does Fellow Daoist Yang desire?" Zhou Xiaobai asked, suppressing his greed.

"I've taken a liking to this kitten, Brother Ao, and I'd be so kind as to part with it!" Yang Jian said with a smile.

He didn't know why, but the moment he saw Xiao Bu, he felt a connection with her.

This mysterious feeling is what immortals consider fate.

It's not an easy thing for an immortal to find a spirit beast that is destined to be with them.

"I really like Xiao Bu!" Zhou Xiaobai said casually.

Yang Jian really has some wild ideas; he thinks he can trade Little Cloth for a Nine-Turn Golden Pill.

With Xiao Bu's combat strength, he can fight anyone below the Golden Immortal level. He is the strongest combat force beside him and the most important protective spirit beast that is openly displayed.

Hearing Zhou Xiaobai's refusal, Yang Jian felt helpless. He also wanted to try to offer a more generous reward in exchange for the spirit beast, but among the treasures he carried, only the Nine-Turn Golden Pill of the Supreme Lord Laozi was the most valuable.

In fact, his relationship with the Jade Emperor was quite delicate, and he could not bring himself to ask the Jade Emperor for more Nine-Turn Golden Pills.

"Think it over again!" Yang Jian nodded to Zhou Xiaobai, then turned and left.

Zhou Xiaobai lost interest in practicing the "Nine Heavens Thunder Arrow Technique" and put away the "Void-Piercing Bow" to return to the granary.

For the next two days, Yang Jian did not contact him again, as if he had forgotten about the incident.

"Xiao Bai!" That morning, Zhou Xiao Bai was checking the accounts of the granary when Nezha's voice came from outside the door.

At the grain depot, Nezha doesn't need to be reported.

"Check the accounts carefully, make sure there are no mistakes!" Zhou Xiaobai handed the account book to Manager Zhao and instructed him.

Manager Zhao took the account book, bowed, and stepped back. As he was leaving, he encountered Nezha and quickly bowed again.

Nezha casually waved his hand and sat down next to Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai smiled, poured him a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of him.

"Do you know that supplies from the capital have arrived?" Nezha asked, taking a large gulp of tea.

"This is the granary. The grain sent from the capital has already been stored. How could I not know?" Zhou Xiaobai actually knew, and he laughed.

"How long have you been here?" Nezha suddenly asked.

"It's been half a year!" Zhou Xiaobai replied after calculating the time.

"Did you receive your reward?" Nezha asked again.

"Why are you talking so strangely today? Is there some reward for coming here?" Zhou Xiaobai asked, intrigued.

"These are six bottles of 'Dust-Cleansing Pills,' one bottle containing ten pills per month. This is a six-month supply, your reward. I've brought them over for you!" Nezha no longer hid, smiling as he placed the six jade bottles in front of Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai picked up a jade bottle, opened the mouth of the bottle, and sniffed it.

An aura of a beginner-level elixir emanated from the bottle, causing the energy within his body to flow faster.

"This pill is made with a variety of spiritual herbs as auxiliary ingredients, and the power of the Western Zhou Kingdom's fortune is added to it, which can accelerate cultivation!" Nezha introduced, and then took out six jade bottles and placed them in front of Zhou Xiaobai.

"What is this?" Zhou Xiaobai was taken aback, not understanding what Nezha meant.

"I have elixirs provided by my master that are of even better quality than this 'Cleansing Dust Pill.' Observing that your cultivation has hardly changed in half a year, these elixirs can help you cultivate!" Nezha explained.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Zhou Xiaobai said with a smile as he collected all the 'Cleansing Dust Pills'.

He didn't need to stand on ceremony with Nezha; he knew how generous Taiyi Zhenren was to Nezha.

Nowhere else is there a place like him. Although the East Sea Dragon Palace has cultivation resources, no one would deliver them to him.

This place is the center of a great calamity; the Dragon Palace of the East Sea is probably as far away as possible.

With these twelve bottles of "Cleansing Dust Pills," he will be able to raise his cultivation to the Earth Immortal realm in a while.

If Yang Jian had reached the Earth Immortal realm before his future, he would most likely have been assigned a dangerous mission by Jiang Ziya.

But things are different now. With Yang Jian, a powerful warrior, as their vanguard, even if Yang Jian's strength reaches the Earth Immortal realm, Jiang Ziya doesn't pay much attention to him.

"By the way, another fellow Daoist has come to our aid today, and their combat strength is quite impressive!" Nezha shared the news in the city. Zhou Xiaobai's understanding of the situation in Xiqi came almost entirely from Nezha.

When Jiang Ziya summoned his generals to discuss military matters, unless it was an emergency and the drum for gathering the generals was sounded, Zhou Xiaobai would not be allowed to go to the main tent to participate in the discussion.

Zhou Xiaobai was called a general in the camp, but his actual duty was to guard the granary. Every disciple of the Chan Sect who was summoned had this title of general.

"Who is this fellow Daoist? How strong are you?" Zhou Xiaobai asked curiously.

"He is Huang Feihu's son, Huang Tianhua, the eldest disciple of Qingxu Daode Zhenjun. The Zhenjun even bestowed upon him the Jade Qilin as his mount!" Nezha said with no small amount of envy.

Although Taiyi Zhenren bestowed upon him many magical treasures, including the Wind and Fire Wheels as a mount, the reason for using the Wind and Fire Wheels as a mount was that Nezha's size was only that of a seven-year-old child, and ordinary mounts were too large.

"So it was him!" Zhou Xiaobai exclaimed in realization.

Huang Tianhua was extremely powerful, but he seemed to have bad luck. He was one of the few direct descendants of the Chan Sect to enter the Investiture of the Gods.

"In a few days, Yang Jian, Huang Tianhua, and I will be going on an expedition. If Huang Tianhua's combat strength is not bad, taking down the four generals of the Demon Clan should not be a problem!" Nezha revealed.

"The Marshal didn't assign me to battle, did he?" Zhou Xiaobai asked hurriedly.

"If you want to fight, I can ask your uncle for permission!" Nezha said with a smile.

"No, no!" Zhou Xiaobai quickly waved his hand and refused.

"Haha!" Nezha laughed loudly. He knew Zhou Xiaobai's personality; he would never go to the battlefield unless forced to.

Of course, this shows how much Zhou Xiaobai's kindness was in infiltrating the enemy camp to retrieve the magic weapon for him.

After seeing Nezha off, Zhou Xiaobai put all twelve bottles of "Dust-Cleansing Pills" into the "Exquisite Pagoda" for the Demon Child to use.

The "Dust-Cleansing Pill" is a spiritual pill that assists in cultivation. Its effect on body-refining techniques like the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" is limited, so it is more reasonable to give it to the Demon Child.

That night, Zhou Xiaobai was inside the Exquisite Pagoda, refining several magical treasures, when he suddenly sensed something.

Not far from the grain depot gate, a transparent figure was slowly approaching.

This person is one of the four generals of the Demon Clan, skilled in infiltration, and belongs to the assassins and death squads privately trained by the four generals of the Demon Clan.

The four generals of the Mo family were unwilling to accept defeat, so they sent out this assassin to burn the grain supplies, which was also the best option to quickly turn the tide of the battle.

Of course, sneaking into Xiqi City undetected and safely finding the granary to burn the grain was no easy task.

However, in order to achieve their plan, the four members of the Demon Clan borrowed the "Invisibility Veil" from a fellow Daoist of the Yi Jie Sect. Combined with the assassin's stealth skills, the plan's success rate was extremely high.
