The Golden Elixir Road

Chapter 24: Immortality and Remuneration

"Cough cough..."

It can be seen that Gai Jiuyou was seriously injured and could no longer suppress his injuries, so they showed.

"I believe that your Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife has really killed immortals." Gai Jiuyou said this as soon as they met.

The Stone Emperor's body has been split into two and turned into a stone man. All we need to do is refine the evil spirit in the emperor's body and then we can use it to make medicine and weapons. Even the emperor's evil spirit is a good thing for refining weapons.

The consciousness of the god of the dragon-patterned black-gold halberd was also destroyed, but the laws of the great way were still there, and it was still an imperial weapon. All that was needed was to breed the god within it again.

Now that the Stone Emperor is dead, only this old supreme being who is in the process of transformation is left.

"Given your current condition, you will be completely dead in less than a thousand years. I wonder if you want to live on." Wang Zizai asked.

"Oh? Young man, do you have a way to extend my life?" The old supreme was very surprised.

"Yes, but you will have to pay some price, senior." Wang Zizai said.

"As it should be. It is normal to pay a price to extend the life of the dying Heavenly Venerable. Just tell me frankly, young friend." The old supreme nodded.

Wang Zizai took out a golden hoop and said to the old supreme: "If you wear my forbidden hoop, you will no longer have to worry about your life span."

After a pause, Wang Zizai continued, "The price is that you will lose your freedom and be controlled by me from now on. If you have evil intentions, I only need to chant the mantra and you will have an unbearable headache like an ordinary person, and all your magical powers and secret techniques will be lost."

After Wang Zizai finished speaking, everyone looked at the old Supreme, wondering what decision he would make.

If it weren't for the fact that one would be controlled by others after putting on the forbidden hoop, I'm afraid that the Supreme of the forbidden area would have come to snatch it away by now.

This restraining hoop was obtained by Wang Zizai's wish after he had the opportunity to kill the Ancient Blood Phoenix Emperor. It was passed on to Guanyin Bodhisattva by the Buddha during the journey to the West.

This restraining hoop was used by the Bodhisattva to subdue the Black Bear Demon. The tight hoop was used to subdue the Monkey King, and the golden hoop was used to subdue the Holy Infant King Red Boy. At this time, all of them were in Wang Zizai's hands, but they were not taken out.

As expected, after killing the Stone Emperor this time, I didn’t get the chance to make a wish.

"Who would want to die when they can live?" the old supreme said with a smile.

The old man did not find it unacceptable, but took the restraining hoop from Wang Zizai as a matter of course and gently put it on his head.

The moment he put on the restraining hoop, the old supreme felt that the fire of transformation in his body was extinguished instantly. The passing of his life also stopped at this moment, and the time in his body seemed to have stopped.

Touching the restraining hoop on the head, it feels like a golden thread, tightly tied there, unable to be removed or pulled apart, as if it has taken root there.

"This old servant greets the mountain master." The old supreme bowed to Wang Zizai.

"I have no intention of humiliating you, senior. There is no need to lower your status like this. If you don't know how to address me, just call me fellow Taoist. You are a pioneer on the great road, and I am a latecomer. Calling me fellow Taoist is enough." Wang Zizai said.

"I also make a promise here today. As long as you guard this Immortal Mountain for me, I will remove this restraining hoop for you when you have made further progress in your cultivation and are no longer worried about becoming a Taoist."

"In that case, thank you very much, fellow Daoist. I am a holy spirit born and raised by nature. I have obtained the appearance of Black Tortoise, which has allowed me to survive to this day. Fellow Daoist, you can just call me Old Turtle." said the old supreme.

As the supreme ruler, he would not be willing to lower his status like this unless his life and death were in the hands of others.

Then he said, "It is getting late now, fellow Taoist, please enter the Immortal Mountain."

"Everyone, follow me into the Immortal Mountain!" Wang Zizai bowed to the people who came with him.

The Supreme Xuanwu led the way, and everyone followed behind him, listening to him explain the mountains they passed along the way.

In the Immortal Mountain, the black mountain towers majestically, and is the king of mountains, with a magnificent atmosphere. This is a mysterious place, one of the origins of the universe, and only in this place can the enlightenment tea tree be planted.

They traveled all the way to the deepest part of the Immortal Mountain, but found that it was not some terrible devil's land, but a paradise where nature was at its best.

There are a few thatched huts hidden in the mountains, a peach forest with colorful fallen petals, and an old turtle crawling slowly in the peach forest. It is the miraculous medicine that can make you live forever.

There are also more than a dozen pieces of divine source, which contain more than a dozen young people sealed inside. They are all descendants of the supreme being in the Immortal Mountain Forbidden Area.

For example, An Pu is the son of the Supreme. His father was one of the Supremes killed by the Void Emperor in the past, which made the Void Emperor famous throughout his life, with a reputation that was no less than that of anyone else.

Wang Zizai picked some leaves of the Wudao tea tree, one for each person, and brewed them with water from the magical spring in the mountain to treat everyone.

"Thank you all for your help this time. I will give you the corpse of the Stone Emperor as a reward, and I will keep the black gold halberd with dragon pattern as a weapon to guard the mountain." Wang Zizai said.

"No, no, we didn't do anything this time, we don't deserve it." The Saint Leader of the Jiang Family said ashamedly, but no matter how you look at it, it seems that the corners of his mouth cannot be suppressed even by the Immortal Mountain.

"I've already explained this beforehand. I asked everyone to take it just in case. Now that it's done, I will naturally not deny it. You can just accept it with peace of mind." Wang Zizai said.

"In that case, we won't be polite." said the Holy Leader of the Ji Family.

"Please, Old Turtle, collect the imperial evil from the Stone Emperor's body." Wang Zizai said politely to the Supreme Xuanwu.

After the Supreme Xuanwu took away the Emperor's evil, everyone divided the Emperor's body and everyone got a part. Naturally, the families that provided the Emperor's soldiers got more, and the others had no objection.

When entering the Immortal Mountain just now, Black Emperor wanted to empty the mountain. Now that he got a part of the emperor's corpse, which had been processed, his mouth was almost grinning to the back of his head.

"Old Turtle, is this miraculous medicine ready?" Wang Zizai asked.

"This magical medicine is still far from mature." Xuanwu Supreme was afraid that Wang Zizai would cut off the roots of the magical medicine, so he said: "Daoyou, each of these magical medicines is unique in the world..."

"Senior, there is no need to say more. I saved it. Do you still have the divine source liquid in the Immortal Mountain?" Wang Zizai asked again.

"Yes, don't worry, fellow Daoist. I have as much Divine Source Liquid as you want. Even if it's gone, I can still refine it." Xuanwu Supreme said hurriedly when he saw that Wang Zizai had no intention of cutting off the root of the divine medicine.

"God King, Fairy Caiyun, may I have the Divine Source Liquid?" Wang Zizai asked Jiang Taixu and the others.

"Thank you, my friend. Just give me the Divine Source Liquid. Even if you really have a magical medicine, I can't accept it." Jiang Taixu said.

Wang Zizai immediately found the divine source liquid in the Immortal Mountain and asked Jiang Taixu to take away the sufficient part. Heihuang was so envious that he took some more divine source and gave it to Heihuang.

It turned out that this dog still looked like it wanted to take away everything it saw. There was really no hope for it.

"Senior Gai, this Immortal Mountain can not only speed up your recovery from injuries, but also slow down the loss of your lifespan. You should stay in this Immortal Mountain."

"Okay!" Gai Jiuyou nodded in agreement.

Now that all the promises had been fulfilled, Wang Zizai looked toward the peach forest again.

"Fellow Daoist, these are just our descendants, and they are all children. They have done nothing wrong. Please spare their lives."

When Supreme Xuanwu saw Wang Zizai looking at the Supreme heir in the peach forest, he opened his mouth to plead.

“Well, the mistakes made by their fathers have been paid for with their lives. If they are willing to continue to stay in the Immortal Mountain to practice in the future, they must abide by the precepts of the Immortal Mountain. If they are unwilling, then let them do as they please.” Wang Zizai said.
