Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 457 The Boy Fights the Snake, Immortal Wind Recounts the Story
“Master, there is a yellow-robed attendant under the tutelage of the Pure Yang Patriarch outside the door,” Lu Tongzi said as he entered the room, relaying Bai Zhenniang’s words.

The Immortal Master Tongxuan seemed not to have heard and continued chatting with Chu Danqing.

Seeing this, Crane Boy, unaware of the reason, could only repeat it for Deer Boy.

Immortal Tongxuan frowned and said to Chu Danqing, "Please wait a moment, esteemed guest, while I discipline these two boys."

After saying that, he turned to the Crane and Deer Boys and said, "I think your cultivation is still shallow and you cannot comprehend the profound mysteries of the martial arts."

"What talk of the yellow-robed boy, and what talk of the Pure Yang Daoist Sound?"

"She's nothing more than a snake demon who has cultivated for a thousand years."

"That rejuvenating herb that has been cultivated for ten thousand years has been stolen."

"I frown. It is because you immortals and demons cannot distinguish between the two and are blind. You are unworthy to be my disciples."

"You report this yourself, and then another person replies. Aren't you ashamed to be ranked among the immortals?" the Immortal Master Tongxuan reprimanded.

The two boys were stunned for a moment, then quickly admitted their mistake.

"We should be wary of what happened today." Seeing that the two boys had taken it to heart, the Immortal Master Tongxuan immediately sent them away.

Deer Boy went out to tend the furnace, while Crane Boy was assigned to fetch a jar of celestial wine.

“Senior, isn’t this lesson a bit too harsh?” Chu Danqing had seen the whole story and was certain that the Immortal Tongxuan had deliberately allowed the Rejuvenating Herb to be stolen.

If he refused, he wouldn't have sent Crane Boy to fetch spring water first, leaving only Deer Boy to guard outside.

"Haha, it doesn't count, it doesn't count," said the Immortal Master Tongxuan. "It was destined to happen."

"Don't worry, esteemed guest, there are other plans for this matter."

Chu Danqing didn't quite understand, but it was highly likely that the Immortal Tongxuan had some kind of scheme.

On the other side, when Lu Tongzi returned, he found that the original location of the ten-thousand-year-old Rejuvenating Immortal Grass was indeed empty.

This infuriated him so much that he was practically jumping out of his skin and his insides were burning with rage.

Ultimately, it was he who lost it, and it even dragged Tsurudoji into the training as well.

"You audacious demon, hmph, let's see where you can escape to." Deer Boy immediately took out his twin halberds and rode the clouds down to the mortal realm.

Bai Zhenniang's speed was naturally far inferior to that of Lu Tongzi, and she was caught up by Lu Tongzi before she could return.

"You snake demon, how dare you impersonate a disciple of the Pure Yang Patriarch and steal immortal herbs."

"Hurry up and surrender, and come with me to the master to confess your crimes and accept punishment!" Lu Tongzi said as he charged forward.

When Bai Zhenniang saw that it was Lu Tongzi who had come after her, she felt a little more at ease.

"Great Immortal, please calm your anger. It is because my husband is critically ill that I risk my life to request a Rejuvenating Herb to save his life," Bai Zhenniang explained.

"Please convey my message to the Immortal Elder, and grant me his mercy."

Her words only added fuel to the fire of Lu Tongzi's anger.

What kind of illness requires the Rejuvenating Herb? It's clearly an attempt to bring the dead back to life.

"Bah! Life and death are predestined, what's with all this talk of being critically ill?" Without another word, Lu Tongzi grabbed his halberd and started fighting with Bai Zhenniang.

They had nurtured this Rejuvenating Herb for ten thousand years, and you just stole it like that.

Then you think you can make him stop just because you said it was for saving someone? There's no such thing as a free lunch.

The Immortal Master Tongxuan said that the Rejuvenating Herb they were asked to cultivate was for them to use in their tribulations.

Now that it's been stolen, how are they supposed to cope?

Bai Zhenniang was no match for him and was forced to retreat in defeat.

“Great Immortal, please do not act rashly.” Bai Zhenniang immediately said, “I am a disciple of the Holy Mother Jin Ci, and we are fellow practitioners.”

Deer Boy didn't believe this at all, and simply cursed, "Spreading heresy and misleading the public!"

After all, Bai Zhenniang had previously impersonated a yellow-robed attendant under the Pure Yang Patriarch.

Now that he's become a disciple of the Holy Mother Jinci, if he believes this again, he'll have no face to go back.

Bai Zhenniang was already exhausted and had no choice but to grit her teeth and make a decision.

He used his twin swords to deflect the Deer Boy's twin halberds, and then opened his mouth to spit out the Primordial Pearl from his belly.

The pearl transformed into white light, so bright that the deer boy couldn't open his eyes.

Caught off guard, Lu Tongzi was struck on the forehead by the Hunyuan Pearl.

He swayed, the intense pain making him somewhat disoriented.

Seeing this, they could only leave through the clouds, not daring to linger any longer, and returned all the way back to Tianxin Cave.

He didn't dare to see the Immortal Master Tongxuan, so he sat at the door, touching the big bump on his head and shedding tears.

Crane Boy returned with the celestial wine and, seeing Deer Boy's appearance, inquired about the reason.

Seeing this, Lu Tongzi cried as he recounted how he had tried to chase the snake demon but ended up getting beaten up instead.

Upon hearing this, Crane Boy's temper flared up instantly.

Stealing the immortal herb and injuring my junior brother—how can this be considered a crime?

"Junior brother, please wait here for a moment. I will deliver these immortal wines to the master and the distinguished guests, and then go to avenge you." As Crane Boy spoke, he suppressed his anger and went inside.

When distinguished guests arrive, he cannot show his emotions, no matter what they are.

The same applies to Lu Tongzi; such a humiliating thing should naturally not be mentioned at a banquet.

When the wine was delivered, the Immortal Master Tongxuan seemed unaware of it, and simply told Crane Boy to put the immortal wine down before sending him out to continue guarding the alchemy furnace.

The elves then shared the celestial wine with the Immortal Elder and Chu Danqing.

After Crane Boy came out, he asked, "Junior Brother, which way did this snake demon go?" Deer Boy then gave him a direction.

"Junior brother, take good care of yourself. I will go and avenge you right away." After saying that, he did not ride the cloud and directly revealed his true form as a white crane.

With a flap of its wings, it descended to the mortal realm.

They moved with lightning speed and caught up with Bai Zhenniang in an instant.

"You monster, your Grandpa Crane is here!" Crane Boy roared.

Bai Zhenniang, who was riding on a cloud in front, was so frightened by these words that she almost lost her balance on the cloud.

"Great Immortal Crane, spare my life!" Bai Zhenniang hurriedly begged for mercy.

But Crane Boy didn't care about any of that. He stretched out his crane claws and grabbed at Bai Zhenniang: "You monster, you stole the immortal herb first, and then you injured my junior brother. Do you still want to live?"

It pressed a claw down on Bai Zhenniang's head, and in an instant, Bai Zhenniang was forced to reveal her true form, tightly gripping the snake's head.

The other claw was embedded seven inches deep, preventing it from advancing any further.

Bai Zhenniang wanted to use the same trick again to spit out the Hunyuan Pearl to ambush him, but Crane Boy had already heard about this from Deer Boy and had already grabbed the snake's head.

Therefore, even if Bai Zhenniang wanted to ambush her, she couldn't do it. Her snake mouth was pressed down tightly, so how could the Hunyuan Pearl come out?

"Where did you hide the immortal herb? Hand it over immediately!" Crane Boy demanded.

To ensure her safety, Bai Zhenniang sealed the immortal herb with the Hunyuan Pearl, which was now inside her womb.

However, she dared not say these words, for if she did, Crane Boy would surely cut her open and take back the immortal herb.

If she were to reveal it, what chance would she have of surviving?

"Distinguished guests, you've been sitting here for quite some time. Why don't you stretch your muscles and bones?" said the Immortal Master Tongxuan after taking a sip of the immortal wine.

Chu Danqing didn't drink it, as it was of questionable quality and the park didn't indicate that it was safe to eat.

This means that if he drinks this, he will be too weak to absorb the nutrients.

"Alright," Chu Danqing replied, then asked, "Please give your instructions, senior."

"The snake demon who stole the Rejuvenating Herb is Bai Zhenniang," said the Immortal Master Tongxuan. "She was originally from the Peach Garden."

The Immortal Master Tongxuan explained Bai Zhenniang's background. Although Chu Danqing already knew this, he listened to it again.

The other party's words clearly indicated that they wanted Chu Danqing to rescue Bai Zhenniang.

"This demon has a history, and it must not die at the hands of Crane Boy. It is a good time for you, esteemed guest, to go and rescue it." As he spoke, the Immortal Master Tongxuan had a spirit bring over a elixir.

"If I were to die here, I would have to bear the blame for my negligence."

"It just so happens that you, esteemed guest, are in some trouble, so please go and help us out."

After saying that, the elf had already brought the elixir to Chu Danqing's eyes.

"I'm afraid Crane Boy wouldn't agree." After thinking about the cause and effect, Chu Danqing felt it made sense.

The Immortal Master Tongxuan used the Rejuvenating Herb to help the Dragon and Phoenix Boys escape their tribulations, but unexpectedly, Chu Danqing interfered, causing a change in the situation.

That's why Zen Master Wende helped the Dragon and Phoenix Boys cleanse themselves of their obsessions and karmic obstacles.

It is normal to let Tsuru-shiki-dōji take action.

After all, the Rejuvenating Herb was cared for by the boys, not to mention that Bai Zhenniang must have done something else, otherwise the Crane Boy wouldn't have gone so far as to kill her.

"How should I advise Crane Boy?" Chu Danqing asked, for he was no match for Crane Boy.

The Immortal Master Tongxuan said, "Honored guest, do not disturb us. When you go, just say that the Rejuvenating Herb has been used to prepare for the calamity, and tell him not to kill any more people."

"As for Bai Zhenniang, please give her a word of advice on my behalf."

"Although stealing from the Immortal Grassland is a sin, we will spare her from evil thoughts in consideration of her sincerity. Otherwise, she will be condemned to eternal damnation."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing felt that Bai Zhenniang seemed a bit off.

Not only did the Immortal Master Tongxuan say this, but the Holy Mother Jinci also said it.

"Yes, senior, I will definitely convey your message." Chu Danqing replied, then said awkwardly, "Senior, I can fly, but I can't descend to the lower realm."

"It's alright. I'll help your honored guest descend to the mortal realm with a celestial breeze, otherwise it would be too late."

"As for their return, we can have Crane Boy bring the distinguished guest back," said the Immortal Master Tongxuan.

This means that the feast hasn't ended yet, so don't just come down to earth and never come back; you'll have to come back to continue the feast.

Chu Danqing responded, though she herself had her own thoughts.

When I get back, I'll see if I can get the Immortal Master Tongxuan to become an ally.

This is the strongest person he has encountered so far.

Furthermore, Chu Danqing can confirm that the Mysterious Immortal is definitely a mythological figure from classical mythology.

If we could bring them in as an alliance, our combat strength would definitely increase by a whole level.

He couldn't imagine how dumbfounded his enemies would be if he brought up a celestial being as an ally.

"Senior, please bestow your divine wind," Chu Danqing said.

The Immortal Master Tongxuan reached out and pointed, feeling a gentle breeze rise up.

In an instant, Chu Danqing's vision began to spin.

In the blink of an eye, they were in a different place, and a wisp of wind carried him, making him float in mid-air.

Not far away, a white crane had captured a white snake, and the crane's beak was pecking at the snake's head.

"Spare him!" Chu Danqing shouted urgently to stop them.
