The Golden Elixir Road

Chapter 32: Playing Hard to Get and Subduing the Lionheart

After searching for a while, they found some good refining materials, which were divided equally among the group.

"It would be safer for you two to move directly to this small cave world to practice." Wang Zizai said to the two demons, the sheep and the deer.

The two demons were somewhat tempted. They had already found a way to control this small world. After discussing it, they decided to move as soon as they returned.

After leaving this small cave world, Wang Zizai bid farewell to the two monsters and left on the green-haired lion.

"What's your name?" Wang Zizai asked the green-haired lion.

"To answer your question, sir, I was driven out of the tribe when I was young because I had green hair. No one gave me a name, so they all called me Green Lion. So I also called myself the Green Lion King." said the green-haired lion.

"In that case, I will give you a name. Since you are a lion, I will take your surname from your body. By removing the character "shi" from the character "ya", I will just take "shi" as my surname." Wang Zizai said.

"The lion symbolizes bravery and fearlessness, so you should name yourself Fearless. The Fearless Lion Seal carries the meaning of hoping that all living beings can have a new life of happiness and freedom from fear. I also hope that you can conquer the fears in your heart and achieve immortality with me one day. What do you think?" Wang Zizai asked the blue lion.

"Okay, okay, I now have a name. From now on I will be called Shi Wuwei, hahaha." The green-haired lion roared, overjoyed for a moment.

"You are not allowed to call yourself Laozi anymore in the future. Start conquering the fear in your heart from this matter." Wang Zizai said.

When Shi Wuwei heard this, he lowered his head.

"Master, what does becoming an immortal have to do with me calling myself Laozi? Besides, who can really become an immortal?" Shi Wuwei asked puzzledly.

"What do you think cultivation is? Is it just about absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, accumulating energy, and then comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, and then you can become an immortal?" Wang Zizai asked back.

"What else?" asked Shi Wuwei.

"If it is so simple, then the energy and laws in the emperor's body must be strong enough. Why can't he become an immortal?" Wang Zizai asked.

Without waiting for Master Wuwei to answer, Wang Zizai continued, "Practice is about cultivating the mind, and there is no way to cultivate the mind in the secret realm."

"If you do not regulate your behavior and adjust your mind at the beginning of your practice, and only pursue strength, as your strength increases, your mind will only be obscured by strength."

“When you reach the Great Emperor level, it is even more difficult to change. From the chaotic ancient times to now, millions of years have passed, and only three or five people have been able to use time to force their minds to transform and embark on the path to becoming an immortal.”

"Is it true that someone can become an immortal?" asked Shi Wuwei.

"So I said so much, but you only heard the last sentence?" Wang Zizai laughed.

"Do you know where the crater is?" Wang Zizai asked.

"This old... Of course I know, why is the master looking for the crater?" asked Shi Wuwei.

"I have a magical power that needs to be refined in a volcano." Wang Zizai said.

Shi Wuwei rolled his eyes and said, "Master, you finally asked the right person. I actually know where a volcano is."

"Oh, then take me there." Wang Zizai said.

Master Wuwei carried Wang Zizai on his back, and in just half an hour, they flew over a volcano.

Wang Zizai was amazed at how fast the Semi-Saint was. If he were to fly by himself, it would take at least half a month.

"Master, you can practice your magical powers with peace of mind. I will stay here to protect you and will never let anyone disturb you." Shi Wuwei said with a firm face.

Wang Zizai glanced at the lion and said with a smile, "That's good. It's rare that you have such a heart."

Then he stood up and landed on the mountain and walked into the crater.

"I'm really smart. Although this kid gave me a name, it's impossible for me to be his mount. If I don't run away now, when will I run?" Shi Wuwei didn't expect that Wang Zizai would actually agree to let him stay outside. He immediately flew at full speed, ready to escape far away. It would be best if he never saw Wang Zizai again in his life. He disappeared in an instant.

At first I was afraid that something might happen to the golden hoop on my head, but later I found that they had run far away and it was still fine. I was no longer afraid at such a distance.

In the volcano, Wang Zizai successfully absorbed the spirit of the lava fire. After just an incense stick of time, he came out of the mountain and found that, as expected, the green-haired lion had already escaped.

"With this golden hoop, what can I do even if I escape for three days and three nights?" Wang Zizai was not in a hurry. He just smiled and muttered to himself, and then recited the mantra corresponding to the golden hoop.

Millions of miles away, Shi Wuwei was flying at full speed towards Beiyuan, admiring his own wisdom and feeling that he was simply the wisest among monsters.

Unexpectedly, I felt a sudden pain in my head and it felt like my brain was going to pop out.

At the same time, he lost all his magical powers and secret techniques, and couldn't even fly. He fell from the sky and created a big hole. If it weren't for his strong body, he might have been killed.

"Roar!"

Shi Wuwei rolled on the ground with his front paws holding the huge lion head and roaring, but the pain was still unbearable, and he crashed into a mountain, which exploded instantly.

"I was wrong. I will never run away again. Master, please spare my life." Shi Wuwei roared.

Unfortunately, they were too far away, and Wang Zizai could not hear him, so he continued to chant the mantra. Master Wuwei had an unbearable headache and could only bang his head on the ground.

Half a minute later, Shi Wuwei had fainted and woken up countless times from the pain, and the pain in his head finally disappeared.

Shi Wuwei touched the golden hoop on his head and felt his body, but he didn't feel any injury at all.

If the surrounding environment had not looked like it had just been through a great battle, Shi Wuwei would have thought that everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Since he couldn't escape, Shi Wuwei had no choice but to turn back in the direction where Wang Zizai was.

"Master, why did you come out so soon? I was afraid that you were hungry, so I went to find you something to eat." Shi Wuwei said with a smile on his face.

"You are thoughtful." Wang Zizai pretended to know nothing.

"Master, have you mastered your magical powers?" Shi Wuwei asked with concern.

"It's still far from being refined, but the ones here have been done. Why, do you want to see it?" Wang Zizai said with a smile.

"I don't want to, no." Shi Wuwei didn't know what he remembered and quickly refused.

"Then follow me back to the mountain." Wang Zizai said.

It has been some time since I came out, and I don’t know how Qing Ci’s practice is going, or whether everything is safe in the Immortal Mountain. But with the Supreme Xuanwu here, I don’t think anything will go wrong.

Master Wuwei then transformed himself into a green lion and carried Wang Zizai on his back.

"Master, where is our mountain gate and which direction should we fly?" asked Shi Wuwei.

"Eastern Wilderness, Immortal Mountain!" Wang Zizai said softly.

"Master, are you the son of the forbidden...forbidden area?" Shi Wuwei was shocked.

No wonder there are so many strange and bizarre magical weapons. Shi Wuwei only felt darkness before his eyes. He was afraid that he would not be able to escape the fate of being a mount for the rest of his life.

Wang Zizai just smiled and didn't explain.
