We bear people have power

The hair regrowth technique was a secret passed down by the Monkey King. This renowned demon king didn't possess many magical abilities, but those he did have were all extraordinary. When Guan Bo's hair regrowth technique shone on Lingxiu, it did indeed allow her to grow a thick head of long hair again.

But why is this hair yellow?

Moreover, why is hair growing on my face, body, and hands?

"Ah!!!" Lingxiu looked at the thick yellow hair on her arm, then touched the hair on her face, and let out a deafening scream.

She looks exactly like a miniature yellow-haired monkey, with yellow hair covering the rest of her face except for the facial features.

Guan Bo couldn't help but cover his face with one hand. He never expected that this spell wasn't a hair growth spell, but a hair growth spell!

That makes sense. The Monkey King is a monkey, and he doesn't just pluck the hair from his forehead. So, his hair-growth technique would naturally make him grow hair all over his body.

Guan Bo regretted that he hadn't tested it before hastily using it on Lingxiu.

The little girl looked in a mirror, and tears streamed down her face. Her heartbreakingly loud sobs were truly unbearable to watch.

"Don't cry, isn't this perfect? ​​Anyway, we still need to store ten pounds of it, so it'll be easier if we grow hair all over our bodies." Guan Bo's words made Lingxiu cry even harder.

However, now is not the time to cry. Guan Bo asked Gongsun Jing for help to shave off all the yellow hair on Lingxiu's body and then performed the hair regrowth technique several times.

Soon, a large clump of yellowish-black fur was complete.

Lingxiu is now like a shaved monkey; she can no longer be called ugly, but rather bizarre.

"Alright, stop crying. I swear I'll help you recover." Guan Bo pointed to the sky.

Gongsun Jing also tried to comfort her, and it took a long time to calm the little girl down. However, the way she looked at Guan Bo was like she was looking at the weird uncle next door.

Guan Bo had no choice but to take the ten-pound clump of hair to Patriarch Bodhi.

But when he arrived at the cemetery in the west of the city, he realized that he had no idea how to get to Fangcun Mountain.

At first, it was Daoist Yuantong who used magic to take him to Fangcun Mountain. On the way back, he was blown back by Patriarch Bodhi, and returned in a daze.

Going to Fangcun Mountain now left him completely at a loss.

However, there were already people waiting in front of the cemetery.

"Fellow Daoist Guan Bo, we meet again." Daoist Yuan Dao bowed and said.

"Is the Taoist priest waiting for me here?" Guan Bo asked curiously.

“Indeed, the Patriarch instructed me to wait again, saying that you would definitely appear today, and asked me to take you to Fangcun Mountain,” Yuantong explained.

Upon hearing this, Guan Bo felt that the matter was settled.

Patriarch Bodhi must have foreseen everything. Since he had Daoist Yuantong waiting here, he must be satisfied with the ten catties of "elixir of immortality".

Daoist Yuantong was unaware of the test that Patriarch Bodhi had given Guan Bo. He only noticed that Guan Bo had a large clump of tangled fur in his hand, so he couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist, is this... molting?"

Guan Bo: "..."

There's no way to respond to that.

However, Master Yuan was a kind-hearted man. Not wanting Guan Bo to wait idly by using the life-saving talisman bestowed by Patriarch Bodhi, he didn't press the matter further, seeing Guan Bo's embarrassed expression.

With a wave of his hand, the water curtain spell was activated, bringing Guan Bo back to the front of the Fangcun Mountain cave.

This time, there were no fairy children blocking the way, and Guan Bo followed the Taoist priest Yuantong into the Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave.

The spiritual energy in this blessed land is incredibly rich. Guan Bo felt completely refreshed after just one breath. One day of cultivation here is equivalent to one year of cultivation outside. This is probably the origin of the saying that one day in heaven is equivalent to one year on earth.

Master Yuantong led Guan Bo through countless pavilions and towers until they reached a secluded spot, where they saw Bodhi Patriarch sitting cross-legged on a futon.

"Master, Fellow Daoist Guan Bo has arrived."

Master Yuantong respectfully kowtowed and paid his respects, and Bodhi Patriarch then opened his eyes.

Bodhi Patriarch spoke up, "Yuantong, you may step back."

Without asking any further questions, the abbot bowed and withdrew from the courtyard.

When Guan Bo saw this legendary immortal again, he felt that no matter which angle he looked at, there was an unbearable radiance about him.

The divine light was not dazzling, but it inspired awe and made people dare not examine the face of the Bodhi Patriarch closely.

"Have you brought what I asked for?" asked Bodhi Patriarch.

“I brought it. This is ten catties of the elixir of immortality, guaranteed to have been taken from Lingxiu.” Guan Bo hurriedly presented the ten catties of hair with both hands.

He thought to himself, if Bodhi Patriarch were to become enraged, he wondered if his robes would be able to withstand a single blow.

Looking at the clump of yellow and black fur, Bodhi Patriarch couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're quite clever, even more so than that monkey."

Guan Bo quickly smiled and said, "That was because the patriarch deliberately let me off the hook. I am extremely grateful."

"Stop with this flattery. You'd be better off cursing me for being a cannibal and unworthy of being a god," Bodhi Patriarch scolded.

Guan Bo thought to himself, "So you've been eavesdropping all along. You really are a cunning old man."

Fortunately, Bodhi Patriarch wasn't so cunning as to use a telepathic ability on Guan Bo, otherwise, if he had overheard Guan Bo's thoughts, he would have certainly made things difficult for him.

Seeing that Guan Bo remained silent, Bodhi Patriarch casually touched the tuft of hair with his hand.

A beam of light flashed by, and all the yellowish-black fur turned snow-white, intertwining with each other. In a short while, it transformed into a brocade handkerchief, looking like an item used by a young woman.

"You have passed the first test. Wet this Myriad Wonders Longevity Handkerchief and use it to wipe the little girl's body, and the spell will be dispelled," Patriarch Bodhi said to Guan Bo.

As expected, Bodhi Patriarch saw through everything Guan Bo did. If he had really wanted to kill Lingxiu back then, he would probably have been slapped to death long ago.

Guan Bo quickly put the treasure away. With Bodhi Patriarch's help, Guan Bo believed that the Myriad Wonders Longevity Handkerchief had more than just this effect. It was just a pity that it was obviously prepared specifically for Lingxiu, and he could only look on with envy.

"Now that you have passed the first test, the second test is about to begin. Are you ready?" asked Patriarch Bodhi.

"Um... could you make an exception? Could I be admitted to the university without taking the entrance exam, like Brother Monkey?" Guan Bo asked awkwardly.

"No, although this entrance test was originally rewritten by Ying to make things difficult for you, you cannot be exempted from it," Patriarch Bodhi explained quite directly.

"What? This entrance test is made up?" Guan Bo shouted as if he had suffered a great injustice.

“That’s right. There’s no entrance test at Fangcun Mountain. If it weren’t for your inspiration, I wouldn’t know what to rely on for a while.” Bodhi Patriarch’s straightforwardness made Guan Bo quite annoyed.

Even though I already know I've shot myself in the foot, can you please stop bringing it up? It's really hurting, bro.

"If it's all made up, why can't the founder let me off the hook?" Guan Bo asked indignantly.

“As a deity, one must keep one’s word. If you say you will test me three times, you must test me three times,” said Patriarch Bodhi decisively.

Hmm, Guan Bo understands now. Bodhi Patriarch's secular surname wasn't Zhuge, it should be Wu, and he probably had a nickname called "Handsome Kun".

"Then please tell me, Master, what is this second test?" Guan Bo could only ask in this desperate manner.
