Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

It turns out this guy was thirsty after running all the way here and thought he could drink the seawater, but he spat it out as soon as he took a sip because it was too salty.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan laughed, while Bulma said dejectedly, "If I had known we were coming to the beach, I would have brought my swimsuit."

This did pique Li Xiuyuan's interest. A sexy girl like Bulma, wearing a bikini, with her hot figure, curvy hips, fair skin and beautiful face, would definitely be quite a sight. But where could he get a swimsuit right now?

Li Xiuyuan was filled with helplessness. What else could he do but feel helpless?

Just then, they saw a giant sea turtle carrying a person swimming towards them from afar.

Li Xiuyuan had already noticed them with his divine sense. He saw an old man standing on the back of the giant sea turtle. The old man was wearing sunglasses, holding a stick in his hand, with the turtle shell on his back. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and his head was shiny. He looked really out of place.

However, upon seeing the old man, Li Xiuyuan was instantly shocked; this was none other than the legendary Master Roshi.

Don't let his appearance fool you; he's just an old man. His strength is astonishing. Known as Master Muten, he's an outstanding martial artist who dominated his era, unmatched by anyone. Moreover, he created the Turtle Hermit style. He's not only highly skilled in martial arts but also incredibly intelligent. He's especially renowned for his martial arts, earning him the title of "God of Martial Arts."

Moreover, Master Roshi was the first person in history to master a powerful force (ki, which he used to unleash the Kamehameha wave). He can be considered a master of ancient martial arts.

Master Roshi had two disciples: Gohan, Goku's grandfather and a powerful old man, and Ox-King, Goku's future father-in-law. Both of them were renowned in the martial arts world, which shows just how powerful Master Roshi was.

Chapter 649 Somersault Cloud

Just as Li Xiuyuan was recalling these things, the giant sea turtle had already swum over carrying Master Roshi.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting," the giant sea turtle said politely. Master Roshi, on the other hand, looked at the group of people in front of him and said calmly, "Good afternoon, everyone."

Bulma was stunned when she saw Master Roshi, and then murmured, "What a stylish old man."

Indeed, Master Roshi's attire is far from that of an old man over sixty; it's far too fashionable, especially those flip-flops, which exude youth and vitality.

"Grandpa, who are you?" Goku asked Master Roshi.

Master Roshi said softly, "I am Master Roshi. I heard you saved the giant sea turtle?"

Seeing that Goku and the others nodded, Master Roshi asked the giant sea turtle which one had saved him. The giant sea turtle pointed at Goku and said, "It was this little brother who saved me."

Master Roshi nodded, then walked up to Goku and said, "Little brother, thank you for saving the giant sea turtle. Here's a gift for you; I hope you'll accept it."

Master Roshi was a well-known figure, and naturally possessed many treasures. Even Li Xiuyuan, who was standing to the side, still watched Master Roshi with great interest, despite already knowing what gifts he would give.

In fact, Master Roshi had noticed Li Xiuyuan long ago. Unlike Goku and Bulma, he was also very curious about this handsome young man who always maintained a calm demeanor. What was this young man's identity? Why couldn't he sense any fluctuations of energy from him? It was as if this young man was an inanimate being, yet he was breathing. So Master Roshi had noticed Li Xiuyuan long ago, but he still had to thank Goku for saving the giant turtle's life, so he didn't rush to speak to Li Xiuyuan.

At this moment, Master Roshi walked to the side, thought for a moment, and then directly waved the stick in his hand, pointing it towards the sky.

"Come out, Phoenix."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried a shocking aura. Clearly, Master Roshi was much stronger than Goku. Even though Li Xiuyuan was already a Quasi-Saint, he still felt a sense of respect when he saw Master Roshi.

"The Phoenix?" Upon hearing Master Roshi's words, Bulma's face immediately lit up with excitement.

Seeing Bulma's excitement, Goku looked at her and asked, "What is a phoenix?"

After all, Wukong had always lived on Baozi Mountain and had only lived with his grandfather for about ten years. There were many things he didn't know at all, and he had never been to the outside world. Naturally, he was unaware of those legendary things.

Upon hearing Goku's question, Bulma explained, "The phoenix is ​​a legendary creature that is said to be immortal."

Bulma was filled with excitement. If she could witness such a legendary being, it would definitely be a joyful thing.

However, after waiting for several minutes, the phoenix still did not appear.

At this moment, Master Roshi was also filled with doubt, thinking to himself, "What's wrong with that phoenix? Why hasn't it shown up yet? Could it have gone out to pick up girls and flown too far away to come back anytime soon?"

Just as Master Roshi was wondering about this, the giant sea turtle suddenly remembered something and said to Master Roshi, "That phoenix died of food poisoning last year, how could you forget?"

Upon hearing the giant sea turtle's words, Master Roshi realized that the creature had indeed died from food poisoning last year.

"Can a phoenix die?" Bulma asked in confusion. After all, the phoenix is ​​known as an immortal being, so how could it die from food poisoning?

Master Roshi sighed and said helplessly, "I named that guy Phoenix because I hoped he would never die, but I didn't expect him to die in the end. Oh well, I'll give you another gift instead."

Master Roshi thought for a moment, then waved his staff again, pointing it into the distance, and shouted, "Come forth, Flying Nimbus!"

Everyone, including Li Xiuyuan, looked up at the sky. Bulma and Goku, in particular, were filled with anticipation. At the same time, they were all thinking about the same question: what exactly is this Flying Nimbus?

At this moment, not only Goku, but Bulma was also filled with anticipation, because he had never heard of the Flying Nimbus before, nor did he know what it was.

At that moment, Li Xiuyuan's gaze suddenly turned to the sky behind him. In that instant, Master Roshi noticed Li Xiuyuan's movement and then sensed that the Flying Nimbus was actually in the sky behind him. He then said, "So it's over here."

Although his face showed no particular expression, he was filled with shock. He hadn't even sensed the arrival of the Somersault Cloud, yet the seemingly ordinary young man had. This showed that the young man was far more complex than he appeared.

At this moment, the somersault cloud rushed towards them at high speed, and when everyone looked over, they saw that it was actually a golden cloud.

"Yunfeilu Search Books!" Bulma exclaimed. Sure enough, the next moment, the golden cloud had already stopped in front of everyone.

"This Flying Nimbus is for you." Master Roshi said with a smile, looking at the golden cloud in front of him.

"What is this thing? Can I eat it?" Looking at the somersault cloud floating in front of him, he circled it once and then asked in confusion.

In his mind, since the old man Master Roshi was going to give her a gift, it must be something delicious, because eating was his favorite thing, so he naturally assumed that the golden cloud was for eating.

"This Flying Nimbus isn't for eating." Master Roshi said dejectedly upon hearing Goku's words. However, looking at Goku's expression, he thought to himself, "Does this kid only think about eating?"

Chapter 650 The Fourth Dragon Ball

Bulma looked at the Flying Nimbus with a puzzled expression.

"So what is this Flying Nimbus used for?" Bulma asked, looking at Master Roshi's cloud.

"This Flying Cloud is for riding; you can ride it and fly freely in the sky," Master Roshi explained with a smile.

"How did you get the Flying Nimbus? Where did you get it from?" Bulma asked again.

This left Master Roshi speechless. He could only look at Bulma and say, "Don't keep asking questions until you get to the bottom of it."

At this moment, Wukong asked with a look of shock, "Can we really fly on it?"

Flying was incredibly tempting for Goku. Although he was very strong and powerful, he had no way to fly. So when he heard Master Roshi say that he could fly in the sky on the Flying Nimbus, it was naturally very tempting.

“Of course, but this Flying Nimbus requires a person with pure desires to ride it. Simply put, only well-behaved children can ride it. Let me demonstrate for you first,” Master Roshi said, and then jumped directly onto the Flying Nimbus.

However, right after he jumped up, he fell straight down from the somersault cloud.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! This is killing me!" Master Roshi cried out as he fell to the ground, his voice filled with misery. Seeing Master Roshi's comical state, Bulma burst into laughter, and Li Xiuyuan, standing beside her, also wore a smile. This Master Roshi was indeed just as she had known—a very interesting old man.

"Master Roshi, are you alright?" The giant sea turtle saw that Master Roshi had fallen off the Flying Nimbus and quickly crawled over to ask anxiously.

"How could this be?" Master Roshi's face was full of confusion. He never expected that he would be unable to control the Flying Nimbus.

At this moment, Wukong looked at the Somersault Cloud and said, "Let me give it a try."

After saying that, he jumped onto the Somersault Cloud. The next moment, something astonishing happened: Wukong stood steadily on the Somersault Cloud, and the Somersault Cloud did not repel him at all.

At this moment, Master Roshi and Bulma were both shocked, and even the giant sea turtle looked at Goku in astonishment.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan's gaze was completely focused on the Somersault Cloud. After a while, he nodded, thinking to himself, "So that's how it is. Actually, someone tampered with the Somersault Cloud. Only those with a pure heart and no desires can control it. Master Roshi is a very lecherous old man, so naturally he can't control it. I suppose I can't control the Somersault Cloud either. After all, compared to me, Master Roshi's lechery is somewhat less. So Li Xiuyuan didn't even expect to try to control the Somersault Cloud. Besides, he was already at the Quasi-Saint level. Flying in the air was too easy for him. In fact, his flying techniques were much more powerful than the Flying Technique. So he had no interest in the Somersault Cloud at all."

"I'm on it!" Wukong stood on the Somersault Cloud, excitedly waving his arms and legs.

"What's going on?" Master Roshi asked, puzzled, looking at Goku's excited expression.

Soon, Wukong was able to skillfully ride the Somersault Cloud, as if the Somersault Cloud had a special affection for him...

Meanwhile, inside King Pilaf's castle, Mai and Ash ran back, panting heavily. They had encountered a pack of wolves and almost became their meal. When they tried to escape in their plane, Goku shot it down. It took them a lot of effort to finally get back.

"How is it? Have you found the Dragon Balls?" King Pilaf asked anxiously, looking at Mai and Ash.

"Your Majesty, it's like this. The information we received last time was all just rumors spread by passersby. There are no Dragon Balls there at all," Xiao Wu said, her head bowed and her face filled with panic.

"What? No Dragon Balls?" King Pilaf was furious upon hearing Mai's words.

"Your Majesty, not only have we failed to find the Dragon Balls, but we've also been surrounded by a large pack of wolves," Xiao Wu said, trembling all over. The thought of those wolves filled her with terror. If she hadn't escaped quickly enough, she would probably be eaten by them by now.

“Not only that, Your Majesty, we also found a little brat who looks like a monkey. He…” Ash chimed in, but before he could finish, King Pilaf roared, “Stop talking! I don’t want to hear your excuses. Instead of wasting your breath explaining to me, you should go find news about the Dragon Balls.”

Clearly, Pilaf was furious. She was filled with rage at her two subordinates. How long had it been since they had discovered any news about the Dragon Balls? At this rate, who knew when they would ever be able to collect all seven Dragon Balls?

Xiao Wu and Ashu have been with him for so many years and have always been loyal. He was really reluctant to abandon these two subordinates.

Just then, the phone rang, and King Pilaf immediately picked it up.

After the call connected, Pilaf said, "This is Pilaf. What can I do for you?"

"What? You know about the Dragon Balls? Okay, I got it."

Pilaf excitedly hung up the phone, then looked at Xiaowu and Ash and said, "We've found a Dragon Ball. It's in the hands of an old man called Master Roshi."

"Really?" Ash asked with some doubt. Others might not know, but he knew very well how difficult it was to find information about the Dragon Balls. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been searching for so long without finding any other Dragon Balls besides the one they had already found.

“That’s right, the Dragon Ball is on a small island in the south. What are you waiting for? Let’s go!” Pilaf said excitedly.

Upon hearing her words, Xiao Wu and Ashu immediately replied, "Yes, sir."

Chapter 651 Exchange Conditions

He had been searching for the Dragon Balls for so long, and ever since he found the first Dragon Ball, he had not received any news about them. So you can imagine how excited Pilaf must be right now.

Xiao Wu and Ash ran straight towards the spaceship, and King Pilaf followed suit.

"King Pilaf, are you coming with us?" Xiao Wu asked in confusion when she saw Pilaf following them. She knew that during this time, it had been him and Ash who had been on the operation, and King Pilaf had not participated at all. Now that he had come along, she was quite puzzled.

"Nonsense, I'm not going. You two might come back empty-handed." King Pilaf shouted angrily upon hearing Xiao Wu's question, and then boarded the spaceship with the two of them.

The spaceship took off from the palace and flew directly towards Master Roshi's residence.
