However, considering the dangers of cultivating immortal arts and the bizarre scene he witnessed upon arriving here, Bai Yu made a decision and said, "Please escort me and Kushina out."

"That's all?" The White Serpent Immortal was taken aback. It had considered many possibilities, but it never expected Bai Yu to propose such a condition. It chuckled and said, "What's this? I'll have Ruijin-hime send you back later. Let's change the condition!"

"Any conditions are acceptable?"

Bai Yu countered with a question.

The White Snake Immortal narrowed his eyes, and his body rapidly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, a giant white phosphorus serpent, as big as a small mountain, appeared and coiled around the dragon-head-shaped stone sculpture. Most of its body was hidden in the shadows behind the sculpture, so its size could not be seen at all.

"Any condition is acceptable as long as it's within my power. Throughout history, humanity has sought out the three sacred sites to learn immortal arts. Don't you want to learn immortal arts?"

Then you will become one of the strongest humans! Even your teacher, Orochimaru, was unable to learn Sage Mode because his Yin attribute talent was not strong enough.

The White Snake Immortal's words were full of allure.

Bai Yu frowned slightly and asked, "But I heard that there are requirements for the amount of chakra required to learn Sage Techniques. My chakra is naturally small, so I probably don't meet the requirements for cultivation, right?"

“As long as I infuse you with natural energy, your chakra level will be greatly increased,” the White Snake Sage explained.

"What if my body can't handle natural energy? What if...?"

"If you can't handle it, you'll die! But you might end up like Orochimaru, whose training failed but whose chakra level increased dramatically."

The White Snake Immortal answered truthfully.

"I understand." Bai Yu nodded.

"Bai Yu." Kushina looked at Bai Yu with a worried expression. She didn't want Bai Yu to take any risks, but she couldn't make the decision for him directly.

“Alright, I’ve made up my mind! White Snake Immortal, may I have a scale from you?” Bai Yu said, stating the “reward” he wanted.

Although he was very interested in Sage Mode, Kurama also had Sage Mode inheritance, and it would teach it to Kushina sooner or later. There was no need to take unnecessary risks for Sage Mode now.

"Oh?" The White Snake Immortal's pupils contracted, not expecting that a human could resist the temptation of immortal arts.

"You're not even interested in magic... I'll grant your request, here you go!"

The White Snake Immortal's body trembled slightly.

In the darkness, a white scale with a diameter of over two meters flew towards Bai Yu.

Bai Yu reached out and caught it.

The scales emanate a powerful energy field, containing a large amount of natural energy.

"Can you tell me why you want the scales?" The White Snake Immortal stared at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu carefully stored the scales using a sealing scroll, pondered for a moment, and replied:

"I'm conducting research to enhance the bloodline power of snakes through cell transplantation, aiming to promote snake evolution. Currently, we lack cells from powerful snakes, which is hindering the progress of our experiments..."

"Interesting human." The White Snake Sage chuckled softly, not asking Bai Yu anything further. Instead, he turned to Kushina and said gently, "Little girl, what do you want?"

"I don't want anything, and I won't learn any immortal techniques!" Kushina said. "Give my reward to Shiraha too."

Upon hearing this, the White Snake Immortal looked at Bai Yu again.

Bai Yu: "I want to obtain the right to freely enter and exit Ryuchi Cave. You should be able to do that, right?"

"As you wish."

The White Snake Immortal nodded slightly.

At that moment, Shiraha and Kushina felt a blur before their eyes, and when they came to their senses, they were already at the temple gate.

Mizuki stood not far away.

10132253

[Chapter 79. "The White Phosphorus Serpent" and "The Divine Tree"]

Mizuki stepped forward: "You didn't learn any magic from the White Snake Sage?"

"No." Bai Yu shook his head.

"I'm getting more and more interested in you because someone can actually resist the temptation of immortal arts." Ruijin-hime looked at Bai Yu with curiosity and revealed a charming and alluring smile.

Feeling the intense gaze of Mizuki, Kushina stood guard in front of Shiraha with a wary expression.

These women are so shameless, they're all blatantly trying to seduce Bai Yu.

Bai Yu ignored him and said, "Now you should be able to send us back, right?"

“Of course,” Mizuki replied, then suddenly looked puzzled, as if she were listening to something.

Then she took out a palm-sized scroll from her bodice and threw it at Bai Yu:

"This is the reverse summoning scroll for Ryuchi Cave. With it, you can enter and exit Ryuchi Cave at any time. But be careful, there are some areas you can't just wander into. If you do, you might get completely eaten alive!"

Bai Yu took the scroll: "Thank you."

Rumble~

At that moment, the ground trembled, and a huge purple serpent suddenly appeared outside the temple; it was none other than the Wanshe that had just arrived.

Orochimaru, Chiho, and Eito jumped down from Manda's head.

Manda, who is usually short-tempered, was much quieter outside Ryuchi-dong Temple.

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that Shiraha and Kushina were safe and sound.

"Lady Zuitsune." Orochimaru bowed respectfully to Zuitsune.

"The White Serpent Immortal has already met with the two of them. Now I will escort you out," said Ruijin-hime calmly, resuming her dignified and proud immortal demeanor.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!

With her hands forming a hand seal, Shiraha and the other four turned into smoke and disappeared, returning to the ninja world.

After seeing the person off, Mizuki-hime went deep into the temple and came to sit under the White Snake Sage.

Princess Tashin and Princess Ichikishima are also here.

"White Snake Immortal, why are you showing these two humans such special favor? It's just a trial, isn't it? It's not worth it for you to do this?"

"I ask, puzzled."

"It was just an experiment." The White Snake Sage, pipe in hand and puffing out smoke rings, sighed softly, "If Gamamaru were here, I wonder if he could have seen some glimpses of the future. What a pity..."

When the three goddesses saw that the White Snake Immortal had mentioned the Great Toad Immortal, they did not ask any further questions.

......

When Bai Yu came to his senses, he had already appeared in the territory of the Land of Fields, but not in the place where the battle had just taken place.

It seems that Mizuki can control the location that sends them back to the ninja world.

The Englishman activated his Byakugan and said warily, "Orochimaru-sensei, there are no enemies within the Byakugan's range."

“Return to Konoha,” Orochimaru said.

"What about the mission then?"

"give up."

"Yes!"

The group quickly returned to Konoha.

Orochimaru went to see the Third Hokage and reported Kakuzu's situation.

After this incident, Kushina stopped going on missions with the squad because she fully realized her own inadequacy.

Rather than going on missions with Bai Yu, she felt she should master the power of the Nine-Tails as soon as possible.

While combat experience and skills are very important, they become less important in the face of absolute strength.

As long as she is strong enough, she can protect Bai Yu.

At the same time, beat all those mad bees and butterflies to death.

......

October of Konoha 40.

It has been more than a year since the last encounter with Kakuzu.

Bai Yu's home.

laboratory.

Bai Yu stood in front of the lab bench, holding a tube of light green liquid in her left hand and a tube of dark red liquid in her right.

The green ones are the first generation of bloodline after cultivation. Because the first generation cells are very similar to the cells of a tree, Bai Yu named them the "Divine Tree" bloodline.

The deep red color represents the bloodline of the White Snake Immortal.

The innate spells "Eye of Truth" and "Super Brain Deduction" combined to bring digitized information into Bai Yu's vision—

[The bloodline purity of the Level 3 creature "White Phosphorus Serpent" was detected at 64%, with "Perfect" quality. After the main body absorbs it, the success rate of advancing to Level 1 Sorcerer is 49%; the failure rate is 24%; and the mutation rate is 27%.]

[The bloodline purity of the Level 3 biological "Divine Tree" was detected at 75%, with an "Excellent" quality. The success rate of advancing to Level 1 Sorcerer after the main body absorbs it is 55%; the failure rate is 27%; and the mutation rate is 18%.]

[Simultaneously absorbing the bloodlines of the "White Phosphorus Serpent" and the "Divine Tree," the main body has a 55% success rate and a 46% failure rate in advancing to a Level 4 Summoning Sorcerer; the mutation rate is 1%.]

"The bloodline purity of the 'White Phosphorus Serpent' (a perfect-quality bloodline) is actually inferior to that of the 'Divine Tree' (an excellent-quality bloodline)? It seems there's a significant difference even among level three bloodlines. A 46% failure rate after fusion—is that really so high?!"

Bai Yu frowned deeply.

For the course of that year, he spent most of his time extracting blood and cells from the scales of the White Snake Fairy, and then purifying and culturing them.

The White Snake Immortal's bloodline source level has reached level three, which can be used as one of the bloodline sources for his advancement to the Spirit Summoner.

However, the blood of the White Snake Immortal contained many impurities, so Bai Yu had been purifying it. But once it reached perfect quality, the purity of the bloodline could no longer be improved.

In addition, the Hashirama cells obtained from Orochimaru also need to be cultured.

Bai Yu believed that Orochimaru had not held anything back from him, after all, the First Hokage had been dead for twenty or thirty years, and his cell activity had declined, so it was inevitable that he was not as good as he was when he was alive.

The highest quality of the Hashirama cells obtained later was only "Excellent," not "Perfect." Therefore, Shiraha wanted to improve the activity of the first-generation cells through a special method.

The progress is just a bit slow right now.

"We don't know if bloodline fusion can improve purity, we need to hurry up with the experiment."
