Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

"Hmph, that great wizard Hou Yi has been dead for countless years. Doesn't the fairy Chang'e have the right to continue pursuing love?"

Fellow Daoist, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but your views are too outdated!

We must keep pace with the times. This is no longer the era of ancient sorcerers and demons; now is the time of the Heavenly Court's rule. Those old ideas are unacceptable.

As he spoke, Tianpeng began to lecture on the Book of Changes.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yi understood; there really was such a thing.

It seems this Tianpeng has a thing for married women!

"Fellow Daoist is right, it is my thinking that is too conservative..." He said this, but he was speechless in his heart. This Tianpeng made it sound as if Chang'e had to marry no one but him.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Tianpeng, it's rumored that Fairy Chang'e is the number one female immortal in the Three Realms. I wonder how many suitors she has?"

Zhou Yi suddenly asked.

"What's wrong, kid? You want to pursue the Moon Goddess Chang'e too?"

Upon hearing Zhou Yi's sudden question, Marshal Tianpeng became highly vigilant, scrutinizing Zhou Yi from head to toe, thinking to himself, "I didn't notice him earlier!"

Looking at him closely now, this kid is really quite handsome, almost comparable to Yang Jian.

Furthermore, this kid is a member of the Pangu clan, holds the rank of True Lord... and can even refine divine pills...

not good!"

Immediately, Marshal Tianpeng felt a sense of foreboding, because upon reflection, he realized that the opponent was indeed quite competitive. Apart from his current slightly lower cultivation level, the opponent was superior to him in almost every other aspect!

"Boy, I'm not trying to discourage you, but that Chang'e fairy is a late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal at the peak of her cultivation!"

All suitors in the Three Realms must be at least Great Luo Golden Immortals, and her ex-husband, Hou Yi the Great Witch, is a Quasi-Saint powerhouse with extremely high standards; it's impossible for him to even look at you!

Moreover, your boss, Yang Jian, from the Celestial Enforcement Department, is also pursuing the fairy Chang'e!

This guy cultivates the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, which proves the Dao through force. I don't care, after all, I am a disciple of the Human Sect and we are not in the same department, so he can't control me.

But you're different!

He's your boss! If he finds out you're pursuing the Moon Goddess Chang'e, he might make things difficult for you and send you on a mission at the level of a Grand Luo Immortal. In that case, death would be the least of your worries!

In severe cases, it could mean the soul is completely destroyed!

Hehe, don't think that Yang Jian couldn't do it!

That guy looks righteous and selfless, but in reality, he's more cunning than anyone else. Back then, if it weren't for his treacherous schemes...

As he spoke, Marshal Tianpeng showed no intention of continuing...

"Fellow Daoist Tianpeng, you misunderstand. It's just curiosity, pure curiosity. I know my own limitations. Fairy Chang'e, the number one female immortal in the Three Realms, is far beyond the reach of a celestial being like me!"

Fellow Daoist, please don't take it to heart; just consider it me rambling nonsense!

Zhou Yi had only asked out of curiosity, but he didn't expect Marshal Tianpeng to react so strongly, and that he had even heard such a secret.

The God of War of the Three Realms is actually a simp for Chang'e.

Is Chang'e really that alluring?

This piqued Zhou Yi's curiosity even more.

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng looked at Zhou Yi with suspicion and seriousness. When he realized that the other party did not seem to be lying, he breathed a sigh of relief!

"It's great to have one less competitor!"

That really startled him.

Because in his view, the competition in the I Ching was indeed too great!

Pangu is the biggest competitive advantage. In the struggle of the Three Realms, there are very few who can be called Pangu, and each of them is a powerful being above the Quasi-Saint level.

Quasi-Saint Great Perfection as a foundation!

This gives you an idea of ​​the power of the name "Pangu Shi"!

Although the other party is only a Celestial Immortal now, it is only temporary. Tianpeng is certain that this guy will definitely advance to the Quasi-Saint position before him, and even before Yang Jian.

He had heard his grandmaster mention this child in his sighs before!

"I thought you also wanted to pursue the Moon Goddess Chang'e. Don't try to scare me with words like that next time!"

Marshal Tianpeng spoke bluntly, leaving Zhou Yi speechless. He thought to himself, "How did this guy advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm? Did he ascend by consuming the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir of the Taiqing Sage?"

"It was my fault; I did not explain myself clearly!"

However, to refine this ninth-grade Life Creation Pill, my top-grade immortal treasure alchemy furnace might not be enough. If Fellow Daoist Tianpeng could obtain an acquired spiritual treasure alchemy furnace, I would be even more confident!

Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"Hahaha... Good, it's good that you have confidence, fellow Daoist!"

"Don't worry about the alchemy furnace; I've already made preparations!"

After saying this, Marshal Tianpeng stretched out his right hand, and a gourd-shaped alchemy furnace, about ten centimeters in size, floated in the air above his palm, constantly rotating. The moment the gourd alchemy furnace appeared, Zhou Yi sensed that the furnace was extraordinary.

"Brother, this alchemy furnace is a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure called the Two Elements Furnace. It was made from a celestial gourd nurtured by the unique acquired spiritual root of our Human Sect, combined with many divine materials!"

Such a magical treasure would require at least 500,000 merits in the Three Realms!

"So, I'll use this alchemy furnace to offset your reward today, and we'll forget about the extra 200,000 merits, how about that?"

Marshal Tianpeng looked at Zhou Yi with an expression that said, "You've hit the jackpot!" Zhou Yi felt the same way upon hearing this!

Of course we made a profit!

Buying a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure with 300,000 merits is completely impossible in other places. As for having Zhou Yi refine it himself, sorry, Zhou Yi really doesn't have that skill!

The Primordial Qi Furnace is dedicated to alchemy, and Zhou Yi, relying on his Dao Fruit abilities, can only specialize in alchemy.

The inability to transfer experience is probably due to a lack of understanding of the I Ching.

If Zhou Yi possessed the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and with his complete mastery of a supreme divine power-level alchemy technique, he could likely apply his knowledge to other areas and refine an acquired spiritual treasure.

"In that case, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Tianpeng, for your kindness. For us alchemists, a top-grade pill furnace is more valuable than anything else!"

Zhou Yi replied with a smile.

"Good. By the way, brother, are you aware of the recent plans of the Buddhist saint Zhunti to hold the Bodhi Elixir Gathering in the Fourth Heaven?"

"I've heard a little about it, is there a problem?"

"It's not a problem for me, but as far as I know, you have a karmic connection with that Buddhist Golden Cicada, so it might not be a good thing for you. If it's not necessary, you'd better not go."

"I do have some karmic connection with the Golden Cicada Clan, but this is the Heavenly Court. I imagine that even the most powerful Buddhist sect wouldn't dare to act recklessly here!"

Moreover, surely a Buddhist saint wouldn't stoop to such a low level?

Moreover, if the Sage were truly so despicable as to personally intervene, even hiding in the Lingxiao Palace would be of no use to me. How could the Three Realms possibly stop the Sage's advance?

After hearing about the Bodhi Elixir Gathering, Zhou Yi did indeed intend to attend. After all, no matter how arrogant the Buddhist sect was in the Heavenly Court, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly...

Moreover, at this moment, Zhou Yi was looking at Marshal Tianpeng in front of him!

Suddenly it occurred to me that this guy is supposed to be the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi's disciple, yet he's actually going against his future teacher.

"I don't know, but something just feels off!"

But you're right, perhaps I'm overthinking it...!"
