Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 506 I Can't Not Eat
In short, we can't do without Sun Wukong, and we can't do without the True Martial Subduing Demons Sutra.

The Pure Land of Bodhi and Zen will absolutely protect it.

This is why the Pure Land of Bodhi even invited the Amitabha Buddha, the Buddha of the World, to reside in the world. If it weren't for the intervention of the Pure Yang Patriarch, and the fact that the Buddha of the World was wary of the Daoist Master of the Ten Thousand Chariots Sword Sect, Xu Yunfan would have been doomed.

The fact that the True Lord of the Yuanshi Sect has exposed the fruit tree is clearly a ploy to lure people in, to see if the Pure Land of Bodhi will take the bait.

This is an obvious, overtly calculated scheme.

Given the nature of the Pure Land school, it is naturally not easy for them to take the bait.

But Wukong is different, and the remaining Wujing and Wuneng are also different.

A restless mind and wandering thoughts are natural occurrences.

Both logically and emotionally, Xu Yunfan naturally wanted to criticize the Pure Land of Bodhi.

The young Taoist, Qingfeng, looked at Sanzang with a half-smile on his face.

“Master Sanzang, would you like to try this? My Zhenjun said that as long as Master Sanzang wants to eat it, he will naturally serve it to you.”

The Tripitaka Master clasped his hands together, his face expressionless, with a hint of pity and rejection in his eyes.

He bowed slightly to the young Taoist Qingfeng, his voice gentle yet unwavering: "Amitabha, well said, well said. I appreciate the kindness of the celestial boy. However, what I seek on this journey is a pure land within my heart, free from worldly dust."

This immortal peach was born from the malevolent energy of heaven and earth. Although it is a miraculous creation, it is ultimately not a pure object of our Buddhist tradition.

Greed for external things easily breeds inner demons, thus deviating from the original intention of seeking the true scriptures.

Moreover, such rare treasures of heaven and earth were only created after being nourished with so much blood and evil energy…

Sanzang's gaze seemed to penetrate the crystal-clear peel, revealing some hidden scenes. He frowned slightly, and his tone became even more somber: "Extreme evil gives rise to brightness. Although it has become a spiritual fruit, there may be an overwhelming blood feud lingering deep within its origin."

Only the great vows of Buddhism can save them, and only the wrathful fire of the Bright King can refine them.

The humble monk and his disciples are not yet deeply accomplished in their spiritual practice, and dare not rashly bear such karmic consequences.

This humble monk absolutely cannot accept these immortal peaches.

Standing to the side, Xu Yunfan glanced at Sanzang silently, a hint of sarcasm in his heart.

This Tripitaka, though he thought it in his heart, refused it out loud.

That is quite in line with the style of Bodhicitta Pure Land Buddhism.

"Uh...this..."

The smug look on the young Taoist Qingfeng's face froze; he clearly hadn't expected the other party to reject such an opportunity so decisively.

Meanwhile, Wu Neng and Wu Jing, who were standing to the side, were already drooling.

The essence of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends.

No need for arduous collection and refining; you can obtain it simply by eating a fairy peach.

This is an incredible stroke of luck that I never dared to dream of.

The two of them belonged to a certain demon clan. What delicious food could they eat on a daily basis? In fact, in order to cultivate a wisp of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Qi, they went through countless hardships, and most of the time they could not even find a trace.

Unlike now, so many fruits formed from the condensed celestial energy are laid out right in front of me.

How could I not be worried, how could I not long for it?

“Master! Buddha, your Buddhist teachings are profound and your faith is unwavering, so you are naturally immune to all poisons.”

But my gluttonous stomach... no, my god of gluttony, can't resist this temptation!

Zhu Wuneng rubbed his hands together, his big belly sticking out, his small eyes shining as he stared at the peaches. "As the saying goes, great fortune is right before your eyes, and once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever. Look at the fairy boy's kindness, if we don't accept it, wouldn't we be disrespecting the True Lord? I, old pig, am thick-skinned and tough, I'll help you share the karma."

Although Sha Wujing was taciturn, he couldn't help but grip the crescent shovel tightly and said in a muffled voice, "Master, the immortal peach... is indeed a great opportunity."

Wukong, or rather Xu Yunfan, naturally wanted to stir things up, but with Wuneng and Wujing speaking up, he remained calm and unmoved, just waiting to reap the rewards.

Sanzang simply closed his eyes and firmly shook his head: "External things cloud the mind, the source of calamity. No, no."

After a pause, Sanzang added, "Wujing and Wuneng, you must not have any improper thoughts."

Upon hearing Sanzang's words, Wuneng and Wujing immediately quieted down and suppressed their restlessness.

Being a demon, I've never tasted such divine delicacies before. Having eaten so much coarse food in my daily life, I naturally yearn for it.

At this moment, Xu Yunfan also spoke up, his voice carrying a hint of arrogant mockery: "Master, you have strict rules and do not eat the evil fruit."

My fellow disciples and I didn't convert to Buddhism that thoroughly.

We protected you through mountains and rivers, enduring wind and rain, slaying demons and monsters; even if we haven't done anything meritorious, we've certainly put in the hard work. Now that you've seen some good stuff, it's only right and proper to share it with your fellow disciples, isn't it?"

He looked at the two young disciples and grinned, "Little immortals, what do you think of my master's share being given to us incompetent disciples?"

He cleverly turned Sanzang's refusal into a way of saying "If the master doesn't accept it, the disciple can share it."

Sanzang's expression changed slightly. He subconsciously glanced at Wukong, only to see Wukong scratching his ears and cheeks, looking impatient.

He sighed inwardly. In the end, he was still a monkey at heart. His innate Dao embryo was first touched by the demon king of the Eastern Wilderness, and then in order to make Wukong quickly form combat power.

The "Great Powerful King Fighting Tathagata Sutra" deduced by several bodhisattvas in the Pure Land of Bodhi does not contain any Buddhist teachings. One must worship the World-Honored One Tathagata day and night, practice pure Bodhi mind, and recite Buddhist scriptures in order to achieve any results.

This Battle Saint Technique, intended for Wukong to master quickly, doesn't require any of these things; he can simply focus on cultivation.

They are on the path of physical cultivation and ascension.

The two young Taoists, Qingfeng and Mingyue, looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. Then, remembering that the abbot had not said beforehand that it could only be given to Sanzang, they nodded and said, "In that case... that's fine too. Please wait a moment."

Xu Yunfan turned to Sanzang and said with a smile, "Master, don't be offended. These Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends are also needed by your disciples. If you can swallow them, your strength and cultivation will naturally increase. Wouldn't it be easier to make your journey to the West then?"

"We, the four of us, have endured countless hardships over the past ten years, covering only tens of thousands of miles. If we don't increase our strength, who knows how much longer it will take to obtain the true scriptures."

Sanzang closed his eyes slightly, having already made up his mind. The Pudu Zhenjun had placed this Taoist temple across his face, making it clear that he couldn't leave without leaving something behind.

The Buddha status of the Free King is a top-tier supreme status in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm, so how could the Wancheng Sword Sect and the Yuanmo Sect sit idly by?

No one wants the other two sects to have another Great True Lord.

"That's good, that's good."

Sanzang said something and then fell silent.

Xu Yunfan, who had descended into Wukong's body, couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He really didn't expect that Sanzang wouldn't even react to this.

The hook had been lowered, so there was no need to do anything more. Xu Yunfan also temporarily released control of his clone, Wukong.

The clone Wukong just scratched his head, but found nothing unusual under the attribute panel. He simply assumed that he was immobilized by the peaches formed by the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends.

At this moment, Qingfeng and Mingyue used their movement skills to lightly leap onto the peach tree, carefully picking four immortal peaches and handing them to the four disciples.

Sanzang's share was collected by Wukong on his behalf.

Once the fruit is removed from the tree, its unique fragrance becomes even more irresistible.

Wu Neng couldn't wait to grab it, but was stopped by Wu Kong's gaze.
