Tan Wenjie handed Qingniu a handful of oranges in exchange for a handful of pills.

It's not a strong medicine, but before one becomes an immortal, it would definitely be considered a rare and supreme treasure. Just one pill like this would be enough to make Uncle Nine and others drool and shout for the ancestor's blessing.

But then I thought, even the founder of Maoshan had to bow and pay respects to the Green Ox with the Horned Horn.

“Brother Niu, we are all disciples of the Taoist sect. I am a few years younger than you, so you can call me Brother Jie.”

Hearing this, Qingniu, who was eating an orange, looked up and glanced at Tan Wenjie, then lowered his head and continued eating the orange.

"Your nose ring must be uncomfortable sitting here. Let me take it off for you."

He would go to great lengths for his brothers and couldn't stand seeing his own people being wronged.

His hand had just reached for the bull's nose ring.

"Hey, what are you doing?" a child's voice came from behind.

Tan Wenjie's hand immediately stopped, and when he turned around, he found that it was another handsome boy.

“You must be the Golden Furnace Boy.”

He showed no embarrassment at being caught stealing; he stood up, greeted people warmly, and casually pulled out a sugar figurine.

Being overly polite is never a bad thing; if it is, it only means that you haven't been polite enough.

Sugar figurines, candied hawthorns, rattles, and other items were constantly being taken out.

Even if none of these work, he has other tricks up his sleeve. Any 21st-century industrial toy or snack he's ever seen can be easily transformed with a single magic trick.

The wooden puppet, its body twisting and turning as it was wound up, immediately caught the attention of the Golden Furnace Boy.

"My master is the Antarctic Immortal."

As Tan Wenjie stuffed the item into the other person's hand, he introduced himself. This tactic worked instantly, and the Golden Furnace Boy beamed with joy.

"So it's Master Tan. Master said you would come to collect the elixir."

"It's already been retrieved," Tan Wenjie asked. "Junior Brother Jintong, what kind of pills have you been refining lately?"

"It's a golden elixir to be refined for the Peach Banquet." The Golden Furnace Boy blew bubble gum, and after the bubbles popped, he laughed happily for a while before saying with a bitter face, "It needs to be refined for forty-nine days."

He didn't realize why he had become an immortal many years earlier than Tan Wenjie, yet the other party still called him "junior brother."

"That must be an extraordinary elixir." Tan Wenjie glanced in the direction the Golden Furnace Boy had come from.

It takes forty-nine years to produce a batch, and it comes from Laozi's golden furnace, so it must be better than the feed for the green ox.

Tan Wenjie flipped his wrist and took a small box, stuffing it into the hands of the Golden Furnace Boy.

"Junior brother, to be honest, I also like to start a furnace and burn things, but I've never quite gotten the hang of it. Everyone says that Laozi is the most skilled immortal in alchemy. Since you follow Laozi in alchemy, your skills must be extraordinary. I wonder if I could learn from you?"

"What is this?" The Golden Furnace Boy did not answer, but looked at the box in his hand with curiosity.

"Firecrackers make a thunderous sound when lit."

“I know how to use thunder magic.” The Golden Furnace Boy shook his head.

This kid is really picky; he always asks for something in return before doing anything. He's the kind of person who won't act until he sees the benefit.

Tan Wenjie took out a firecracker and explained, "This one is different; it can explode cow dung."

"what?"

after awhile.

"Oh!"

The old ox, who was eating oranges, rolled its eyes. But seeing the mountain of oranges piled up in front of it, the old ox decided not to argue with the younger generation.

The Golden Furnace Boy clapped his hands in delight.

"Brother Jie, this is fun, but..."

"Just what?"

"I would never dare to do that when my master is here."

"Then let's play again when Laozi isn't around."

Tan Wenjie then took two more boxes of firecrackers and forcefully stuffed them into Jinlu Tongzi's arms.

"Hehe." The Golden Furnace Boy grinned. "Brother Jie, come with me. I'll tell you some secrets of alchemy."

"Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Golden Boy."

Upon entering the hall, a wave of heat hit us.

Jin Tong picked up the fan to check the fire and invited Tan Wenjie to sit down and watch the furnace together. However, the furnace was scorching hot, and even though Tan Wenjie was immune to water and fire, he did not like to suffer this pain.

It's a pity that this place is not suitable for releasing Longkui and baby zombies, otherwise it would save some effort. He has always spared no effort in training his subordinates to do hard labor.

Fortunately, the Golden Boy was also a free spirit; otherwise, he wouldn't have picked up a pill and given the Green Ox a chance to escape to the mortal realm.

"Junior Brother Golden Boy, what kind of fire is in this furnace?"

"It is both civil and military fire, with thick smoke and fierce flames."

"Is there some kind of rule about using fire?"

"Of course, Marshal Tianpeng's Nine-Toothed Rake was also forged by my master, using the Six Ding Divine Fire..." Jin Tong talked on and on, but Tan Wenjie's attention had already been drawn to the alchemy furnace.

A good furnace. If I can get my hands on it, I will definitely not have to ask others for help in the future when it comes to weapon enhancement and processing, as well as pill production.

In other words, if he could actually get his hands on the gold and silver furnaces, it would be equivalent to acquiring high-precision instruments.

"...Brother Jie, don't be fooled by that seemingly ordinary alchemy furnace. Even a single fire brick inside is incredibly powerful." Seeing Tan Wenjie staring at the furnace in a daze, the Golden Furnace Boy continued his explanation.

Tan Wenjie nodded in approval.

He's best at coaxing these kinds of kids.

The Tushita Palace is a wonderful place; you can find elixirs on the ground with just a few steps, and even the bricks are treasures.

"So you were here all along." The Silver Furnace Boy came looking for him.

He happened to see a large pile of trinkets next to the Golden Furnace Boy, and felt a pang of envy.

I only had one sugar figurine. When I went back to check the furnace, the fire was too high. Not only did it almost burn down the whole batch of pills, but the sugar figurine was also melted.

Yintong immediately said, "You can't be biased."

"Junior Brother Yintong, what are you saying?" Tan Wenjie said sternly, strongly rebuking, "Does that mean I won't give you good things just because you don't call me Brother Jie?"

"Brother Jack!"

Tan Wenjie nodded in satisfaction and said to Jin Tong, who was tending the furnace, "Junior Brother Jin Tong, I'll accompany Junior Brother Yin Tong for a stroll, and then I'll come back to see you later."

Jin Tong immediately said, "I'll get this fire going soon, and then I'll come find you."

Outside the hall, Tan Wenjie started taking things out like a wholesaler at a convenience store, leaving Yin Tong dazzled.

"Junior Brother Yintong, I've heard that everything in the Tushita Palace is extraordinary?"

"That's natural."

The two walked and stopped, and happened to come to a pile of firewood.

Tan Wenjie casually picked up the wood-chopping axe.

【Wood-splitting Axe (Divine Weapon): The axe used by Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) for chopping wood while refining elixirs. Sharpness +12. Characteristic: Sturdy and Durable】

“I happen to be short of an axe,” Tan Wenjie sighed. “Junior brother, to tell you the truth, I was freezing for a long time last winter because we didn’t have enough firewood.”

Silver Boy: "This..."

Although it's just an axe, it would be difficult to explain to Laozi if it were lost, and one might be punished.

“I didn’t give this to Junior Brother Jin Tong.” Tan Wenjie secretly took out a game console and stuffed it into Yin Tong’s hand. “He can use it to relieve boredom when he’s tired from tending the furnace.”

“Brother Jie, you’re cultivating in the mountains, how can you manage without firewood for warmth?” Yin Tong immediately said, “Take it, I’ll explain it to my master later.”

Tan Wenjie nodded, not wasting the people he had given them. The simple-minded youngsters were really helpful. If it were a cunning old fox like him, he would pocket the good stuff and then pretend to be clueless.

"Hey, what's that area over there?"

Yin Tong, who was studying the game console, said without looking up, "That's the residence of the furnace-keepers, who usually refine some low-grade pills." Tan Wenjie's eyes lit up, and he strode over.

"I've seen the Immortal!"

Upon seeing Tan Wenjie and Yintong approaching, the Taoists guarding the furnace knew that the visitors were extraordinary and immediately bowed in respect.

"This is Tan Tianzun, the Holy General of the Mysterious Dragon Guardian of the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain," Yintong said, clearing his throat.

Only a proper fairy child can speak.

Tan Wenjie straightened his back subconsciously.

That's exciting, I'm getting into it.

The Taoists guarding the furnace immediately greeted in unison, "Greetings, Celestial Venerable Tan."

"Gentlemen," Tan Wenjie said very politely, "I apologize for bothering you. I am actually very kind, so there's no need to be so polite."

The Taoist priests guarding the furnace were puzzled and waited for him to continue.

"If anyone goes to the mortal realm in the future and wants to change jobs, they can come and find me."

The furnace-guarding Taoists: "..."

Being a furnace attendant in the Tushita Palace is a secure job; you can consume countless waste pills until you're sick of them. No one in the Three Realms dares to venture there. You can't expect someone to be so audacious as to rush over and kick over Laozi's Eight Trigrams Furnace, can you?

Only a fool would want to change jobs; they wouldn't trade it for a celestial official position.

Although they didn't speak, the way they looked at Tan Wenjie was as if to say, "Are you kidding me?"

Even Yin Tong's expression was similar. He had met many immortals with Laozi, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone dare to come to the Tushita Palace to poach people.

Tan Wenjie didn't care, and after emphasizing that he had received additional benefits, he left with Yintong.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and Laozi returned from visiting his friends and discussing the Dao.

Just as he was about to call the boy over and ask him a few questions, a loud "boom" resounded.

"This child." Laozi smiled and shook his head, his eyes full of affection.

But when he reached the blue ox, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

The golden boy and the silver boy stuffed a firecracker into cow dung, lit the fuse, covered their ears, turned around and ran away. In their haste, they accidentally bumped into Laozi.

The two children looked up and saw who they had bumped into, and their expressions changed drastically.

"Master!" X2
"boom!"

The cow dung exploded.

Laozi's face turned ashen.

Inside the hall, a boy knelt on the ground, pinching his ears.

They were loyal enough not to implicate Tan Wenjie, but this little matter doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

Lao Jun asked, "Did you give him the elixir?"

The golden boy looked up, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Master, do you know who it is?"

Lao Jun did not speak, but simply watched him quietly.

“Here you go.” Yin Tong nodded obediently.

"I think they gave more than just that gourd of pills." Laozi waved his whisk and took away all the trinkets that the two boys had received from Tan Wenjie.

Seeing that they could no longer hide it, the two boys spilled the beans and told the whole story.

"He traded some useless pills with the Green Ox..."

"He thought the floor tiles in our Tushita Palace were beautiful, so he took a few..."

"He was short of an axe for chopping wood, and it just so happens that we have an extra one behind us..."

"he……"

The two of them finished explaining the matter in turn, and then looked at Laozi with concern, only to hear Laozi laugh and scold, "This monkey!"

"I see that you and the Green Ox have been tempted by worldly desires." Laozi's voice stopped abruptly, as if he were thinking about something, or as if he had already made a decision.

……

Tan Wenjie descended to earth and returned to the technical school he had founded. A few days in heaven were equivalent to several years on earth.

"Brother Jie, some of the little demons have already cultivated quite a bit of skill." Fox Girl was pleasantly surprised to see Tan Wenjie arrive.

"You have worked hard."

During his absence, Master Yuding and Fox Sister had a lot to worry about.

"However, they are, after all, minor demons of the mortal realm, and there are some skills that cannot be taught to them."

Fox Girl herself was puzzled as to why she could cultivate the Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm so easily, while those little demons and ghosts stumbled and struggled even to learn the most basic cloud-riding technique.

“I brought back some good stuff, and selected the well-behaved and talented ones,” Tan Wenjie said, taking out the discarded pills. “You know them better than I do.”

Fox Girl stared at the small bag of gleaming, fragrant pills, and subconsciously swallowed. "Brother Jie, give all of these to them."

"of course."

Seeing her pained expression, Tan Wenjie opened the gourd, took out a golden pill, and placed it in the fox girl's hand: "This is a pill I obtained from the Tushita Palace."

Fox Girl shook her head repeatedly: "Brother Jie, I... I can't accept it!"

"Don't worry, there will only be more and more good stuff. I still have a gourd here."

It's just a Golden Core stage; every now and then, he can make up for some of his energy expenditure by taking a trip to the Tushita Palace and using his connections with the Golden and Silver Boys.

"Brother Jie, as long as it's not something immoral or unethical, I'll definitely listen to you."

"Haha, you really have principles, don't worry."

He is a legitimate disciple of the Jade Void Palace. He would never rebel against Heaven, but he might rebel against the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.

With Fifth Brother dead and Fox Sister working for him, Xiao Yu from Lotus Lantern is definitely gone, and the rebels are one less member.

"wrong!"

Xiao Yu is gone, but there is still a possibility of Da Yu and Er Yu appearing. On the contrary, Liu Chenxiang is like a sharp sword hanging over one's head.

"What?" the fox girl asked in confusion.

Tan Wenjie said, "I'm going to Mount Hua."

During the time he spent in heaven, several years passed in the human world in the blink of an eye.

In the few years that followed, whether it was Liu Yanchang, Li Yanchang, or Wang Yanchang, they would probably have succeeded long ago, and the child might even have been born by now.

No wonder the fairies in heaven are so efficient; in the time it takes them to doze off, their children are already old enough to run errands.

Watching Tan Wenjie fly away on a cloud, Fox Sister sighed, "They are both immortals, and the restrictions of heaven will probably prevent them from achieving enlightenment."

Then she thought of Erlang Shen and the Third Princess of the West Sea. Erlang Shen could defy fate to get married, so Tan Wenjie could probably do it too.

……

"Of course not!"

The Holy Mother of the Third Princess had a stern face, but the reflection of the rippling lake in her eyes revealed how turbulent her heart was.

“How can immortals marry? It’s against the laws of heaven.” Her voice trailed off, her face full of sorrow.

Standing opposite is Princess Tingxin of the East Sea, who happened to be visiting her good sister at Mount Hua today.

She couldn't figure out what she was thinking either; it was just that when she was chatting with the Third Holy Mother, the conversation naturally veered towards Tan Wenjie.

Whenever he had free time, Tan Wenjie would come to Mount Hua to find the Third Holy Mother. He would also visit the Third Holy Mother's residence, including the lakeside cottage, the peach blossom forest, and many other amusing trinkets.

Compared to this, Chang'e, who only appears once a year on the full moon, and Tan Wenjie himself, who invited Tan Wenjie to a banquet on the second day of the second lunar month, seem rather insignificant.

Anyone with eyes can see that Tam Man-kit is more fond of the Third Holy Mother.

In fact, after hearing Princess Xin's words, she regretted it and breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the Third Holy Mother's reply.

"My father is looking for a marriage for me." Tingxin's face also showed worry.

The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas is not considered a celestial being, and the restriction that gods cannot fall in love and marry does not apply to them. The fact that the Dragon Clan can freely marry shows that after encountering someone like Tan Wenjie, she truly cannot feel any goodwill towards those sycophantic Dragon Clan members.

"Alas~" X2
The fairy sighed. (End of Chapter)
