You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

Xiao Qingxin thought for a moment: "When I sent the elixir over, he seemed to be about to die."

"How...how could it be!"

"Sister, are you surprised?"

The little fox's eyes were filled with tears: "But... I've only been in heaven for ninety years, why..."

"Because," Xiao Qingxin raised her hand and touched her hair, and said softly, "Your father was looking for someone to take care of his child, and it just happened that he met us. Don't be afraid, it's all in the past."

"Woo~"

"Be good, don't cry."

……

After knowing the truth about his ascension to heaven, the little fox had red eyes every morning during the next few days. At other times, he still looked timid, as if nothing had changed.

Regarding this situation, Xiao Qingxin had also discussed it with Xia Zhiming, for example -

"Zhiming, how about I let her go back to the mortal world?"

"Forget it, don't do bad things with good intentions."

"I won't give her up."

"I was given two peaches at the Peach Festival before. I ate one myself before giving her the other. Can you guess why? Of course I was afraid she would think too much!"

"Zhiming! You actually want to eat peaches!"

"You know what, it tastes pretty good."

"..."

-------------------

Nine days later——

In the main hall of the Lingguan Mansion, two women and a snake were sitting around the cauldron, and many fairies in the hall were looking over here curiously.

In recent days, this alchemy furnace that has been burning all the time has become a hot topic among the fairies. In addition, the little fox accidentally let the cat out of the bag, so many fairies are looking forward to the result of opening the furnace today. It is said that there seems to be a bet on it.

After all, this is fully automatic alchemy.

Seeing this scene, Xia Zhiming couldn't help but stretch out his tail and scratch his head, and stabbed out his snake tongue in embarrassment: "Qingxin, what should I do? I have a bad premonition..."

He had never expected the alchemy to succeed this time. Except for the second day when Qingxin reminded him to turn down the fire, they had not cared about it at all the rest of the time. Why was he subjected to such unreasonable expectations?

"Zhiming, the time is up." Xiao Qingxin tapped the white snake's head to remind it.

Hearing her words, Xia Zhiming did not hesitate. He happily stretched out his tail and tapped the alchemy furnace three times.

First, put out the fire!

Second, cool down!

The third time, open the furnace!

hum! ! !

A purple halo emerges!

Then another twenty-four immortal pills slowly floated out of the furnace, and then—

Its color is purple gold and its shape is like a pearl.

Separated from matter, floating and light.

The round light is bright and the energy is shining into the sky.

Summary: Taiyi Jade Powder Pill.

Inside the palace, the fairies and little foxes looked at the elixir that had escaped its metal and stone essence and became as light as a feather. They all widened their eyes and exclaimed in amazement - is this even possible?

Xiao Qingxin also looked at the white snake on his shoulder with a strange look in his eyes: "Zhiming, it seems that we don't need to go to Penglai Mountain to cut down trees."

"Hahaha, do you know what an alchemy genius is?"

"You're laughing so loudly, be careful that Daozu will catch you and burn you under the fire."

"Qingxin, say something nice!"

"Hmph~"

After chatting for a while, Xia Zhiming and Qing Xin each took a magic pill to taste it, and let the little fox taste one as well.

The result was both unexpected and reasonable - it was made of gold and stone, colorless and tasteless.

The man and the snake didn't care. They looked at the fairies who were watching, counted the number of people, and then picked out twelve to distribute to them, and asked them to share their thoughts.

After the fairies took the elixir, they all looked at the man and the snake with strange expressions and asked tentatively: "Master Lingguan, what are you doing with these elixirs?"

Xiao Qingxin shook her head: "We're just practicing for fun."

Xia Zhiming complained: "I was thinking of giving it to someone, but now I feel like I can't even use it. You can laugh if you want, I won't blame you."

Fairies: "Puff~"

Chapter 172 Pearl

The Guardian Spiritual Official's Mansion of Lihentian——

In the hall, as Xia Zhiming finished speaking, all the fairies covered their lips with their pink sleeves and laughed so hard that their bodies shook.

Xia Zhiming was not embarrassed either. He stretched out his tail and scratched Qingxin's tender little face.

The little girl immediately understood and pulled the little fox to move back, away from the basin of water and the alchemy furnace in the water. Then she saw -

A flash of golden light—gold and stone enter the cauldron.

Two flashes of golden light - the five elements are reversed.

As the flames rose again, a new round of alchemy began.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiming nodded with satisfaction.

The effect of Taiyi Jade Powder Pill is not very good, but it is also a rare treasure for prolonging life. It is also simple and worry-free to refine. Anyway, I will refine it first, in case I need it someday.

The fairies around saw this scene and after being surprised, they all said they were used to it.

They have been in this mansion for almost two years, and they know everything about their own spiritual officials. One of them treats the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill as candy, and the other uses magical powers and spells as toys, highlighting the other's great magical powers.

At this time, Xiao Qingxin glanced at the white snake on her shoulder, and seeing that he looked very happy, she ignored him and took the little fox back to the main seat in the mansion, and asked about her recent practice.

only……

The little fox glanced at Qingxin, whose face was even more childish than hers, and then looked at her cute appearance as she unconsciously held the fairy fruit and nibbled on it. The girl pinched her fingers and endured for a long time, but finally couldn't help but speak:

"Sister Qingxin."

"what's wrong?"

"Can you... let me hug you?"

"No! Qingxin is mine!"

"Brother Zhiming, you...don't interrupt."

"Sister, don't be distracted."

"Oh……"

-----------------------

After that, the life of the man and the snake returned to the same as before, with no other changes except that they collected pills every nine days.

During this period, Qingxin took Xia Zhiming to pay respects to the saints, and someone asked them what they were doing recently.

Xia Zhiming did not explain this question, but happily presented a Taiyi Jade Powder Pill and mentioned the "fully automatic alchemy production line" he had developed.

The final result is:

Xiao Qingxin once again received a lot of golden elixir holy fruits, including peaches, golden peaches, snow peaches, longevity peaches, fairy apricots, golden bamboos, and snow lotuses, filling her arms with all kinds.

Lingbao Tianzun blew his beard and threw a gourd of Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir over. He picked up the Jade Ruyi and knocked the white snake's head with it, making it pop, and told him to stop thinking about unnecessary things.

……

Time passed, and before I knew it, several months had gone by.

One day——

In the Lingguan Palace there is fairy music hanging from the beams, the sound is like the sound of gold and jade, and there are jade girls dancing with their sleeves, their shapes are like phoenixes floating in the air.

Xiao Qingxin and the little fox sat on the armchairs, watching the fairies' dancing without blinking, each holding a longevity peach and biting it in small bites.

On Qingxin's shoulder, the white snake buried its head in her arms and rested, while its tail unconsciously rubbed and circled around her jade neck.

At this moment, a celestial soldier came in from outside the door and announced, "Master Lingguan, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, requests an audience!"

All the fairies stopped singing and dancing and looked at Qingxin who was sitting on the seat.

Xiao Qingxin waved her hand to let them leave. She looked at the white snake in her arms and asked doubtfully, "Zhiming, why did he come to us?"

"Don't overthink it, just ask and you'll know." Xia Zhiming nodded slightly, put a pot of tea and two cups of fragrant tea on the table, turned around and said with a smile: "Huo Huo, go and invite him in for us."

The gap between their official positions was too big, so it was not appropriate for him and Qingxin to go out to meet them. However, the little fox, the apprentice, came in handy.

The little fox nodded quickly, stood up and followed the heavenly soldiers out, and soon invited the Dragon King of the West Sea in, only to see him -

A pearl and jade crown hangs on her head, and her face is filled with sorrow.

He was wearing a brocade dragon robe, but his back was bent.

Summary: The Dragon King of the West Sea has nowhere to go.

Seeing his expression, Xia Zhiming thought for a moment, then transformed into a human form and bowed, saying, "Dragon King, it's been many years since we last met. I've prepared some tea, please take a seat."

"You are too polite, Lord Lingguan." Ao Run bowed in return and then walked forward and sat on the left guest seat in the mansion.

Xia Zhiming took Xiao Qingxin, who was sitting on the chair with her arms outstretched, into his arms and sat on the armchair himself. Then he turned around and asked, "Why doesn't the Dragon King call me a fairy friend?"

Ao Run felt relieved upon hearing this, and the worry on his face dissipated a lot. He bowed and said, "It's only because Xiaolong came to ask for something. I hope my fellow immortals will not blame me."

Xia Zhiming wasn't surprised. He extended his hand and pushed a cup of fragrant tea towards the Dragon King, saying with a smile, "Take a sip of tea first, then tell me your purpose in detail. I'll see if I can help you."

Hearing his words without any sign of evasion, Ao Run's eyes immediately turned red. He followed his instructions and served the tea to moisten his dry lips and tongue. Then he spoke in a sad voice about his purpose of coming -

Ao Run had a son named Ao Lie.

He is calm and talented, and has received a lot of praise from the Dragon Kings of various states and seas.

Ao Run was naturally very concerned about this dragon son, so he started looking for a good match for him early on.

Unfortunately, after a round of selection, Ao Run was not satisfied. Finally, he heard that Princess Wansheng of Bibotan was a beautiful woman with great talent.

Therefore, Ao Run found the Wansheng Dragon King of Bibotan and met his daughter. He found that the rumors were true. He was overjoyed and together with the Wansheng Dragon King, arranged a marriage between Ao Lie and Princess Wansheng.

Little did she know that Princess Halloween had already fallen in love with a great demon named "Nine-headed Insect" and had secretly pledged her life to him.

Just yesterday, the Dragon Palace in the West Sea was decorated with lights and was holding a grand wedding banquet. On the day of the wedding, the Nine-headed Insect broke into the Dragon Palace with two swords in hand and openly tried to snatch the bride in front of all the guests.

When Princess Wansheng saw her lover, she naturally turned around and threw herself into his arms. There was no question of right or wrong in this action, but it made the entire West Sea Dragon Palace feel ashamed and Ao Lie hated her so much that his teeth itched.

The wedding banquet ended in a bad mood. After Ao Lie returned, he first smashed the bridal chamber and then set fire to the palace.

The fire was not a big deal, as the Dragon Palace in the West Sea was wealthy and powerful enough not to be short of money. However, there was a pearl on the top of the palace that was personally bestowed by the Great Celestial Being, and it was also burned in the fire.

Burning the imperial treasures is a crime of great disrespect.

If this pearl is not well-known, things would be easy to handle. The Great Heavenly Venerable is very busy all day long, so how could he care whether your pearl is there or not?

But how could the pearl hanging in the palace not be famous? The matter could not be concealed at all. If a supervisory spiritual officer came to report it, he would lose his head.

Now, the fact that the pearl was burned could no longer be concealed. As for whether the pearl was still there, when others asked about it openly, the Dragon King just kept silent and avoided the question.

In secret, Ao Run traveled all over the heavens, just wanting to hold a similar pearl in his hand to see if he could save Ao Lie's life.

However, although there are many gods and immortals in this world, there are also many who have this imperially bestowed pearl.

However, those immortals were either too high for the Dragon King to reach, or they were just like the Dragon King, showing off and unable to give anything, and most of them were unwilling to take the risk of deceiving the king.

In the end, the desperate Dragon King of the West Sea thought of the man and the snake who had brought the monkey down to the Dragon Palace, and finally came to them for help.

Having said this, Ao Run wiped his eyes, stood up, bowed, and said, "I heard that the two immortal friends were once given fifty pearls by His Majesty. I wonder if you would be willing to give one away. If the immortals have any requests in the future, Xiaolong is willing to serve you."

Xia Zhiming thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I can't help you with this matter, but I can show you a way forward."
