Chapter 362 The Demonic Monk of Jinshan Temple

The bright moon fades into the distance, and the sun rises in the east.

Another day has passed in Qiongming Realm.

Today, Zhang Yu did not go to Immortal Phoenix Mountain, but instead sat in his Rejuvenation Hall to refine his magical power.

As bottle after bottle of Heavenly Fiend and Earthly Fiend were introduced into his Qi Sea, his cultivation level steadily increased.

Another hundred bottles of Heavenly and Earthly Fiend magic were exhausted. Zhang Yu felt the surging magical power within his body and nodded slightly in his heart:

"It looks like it won't be long before I can cultivate to the fifth level of the Dharma Manifestation Realm."

Once he cultivates to the fifth level, the trial task given to him by that powerful being is considered half completed.

As for the other half of the trial mission.

Just then, the door to Huichuntang was pushed open, and a voice as melodious as a nightingale's twittered:

"Brother Zhang, can you guess what I brought you?"

Zhang Yu looked up slightly and saw Jiang Luoxue, dressed in a sky-blue flowing dress, skipping and hopping in from outside the door, her face full of joy.

After observing for a while, Zhang Yu looked at Jiang Luoxue's empty hands and shook his head, saying, "I can't guess!"

"Hehe, I knew you wouldn't guess!"

With a slight flick of her jade-like hand, Jiang Luoxue produced an exquisite basket that exuded a rich fragrance.

Seeing Zhang Yu's surprised expression, she asked hopefully, "Brother Zhang, this is the food I cooked myself..."

Seeing Jiang Luoxue's expectant expression, Zhang Yu nodded slightly: "Then I'll try it."

Although those in the Innate Realm no longer need to eat, they can maintain their physical form and prevent their soul from decaying simply by relying on the magical power within their bodies.

But this meal was, after all, a token of Jiang Dafu's goodwill.

It's okay to have a taste!

"Uh-huh!"

Jiang Luoxue placed the basket on the table next to her and clumsily carried out the food inside, almost spilling it in the process.

Fortunately, she was a fifth-level expert, otherwise she really wouldn't have had time to react.

Zhang Yu smiled slightly, picked up a pair of jade pendants, casually picked up a piece of the tempting-looking and fragrant spirit fish meat, and put it into his mouth.

The next moment, his brows furrowed.

"Is it tasty?"

Jiang Luoxue asked excitedly.

"It doesn't taste good, don't make it next time."

Zhang Yu spat out the piece of fish, looking disgusted.

This cooking skill is not as good as Feng Feisha's.

No, it would be better if he cooked it himself. At least Zhang Juxia wouldn't cook fish or meat that looks good on the outside but is as charred on the inside.

"No way, I cooked this spirit fish with the Myriad Streams Heart-Tracing Flame, how could it not taste good?"

Jiang Luoxue was somewhat skeptical. She picked up the pair of jade pendants that Zhang Yu had placed on the side of the plate, and also put a piece of fish into her cherry-like mouth.

The next moment, she spat out the fish, saying, "Ptooey, ptooey, this fish tastes weird."

I'm asking you!
Zhang Yu was speechless.

This young lady uses supernatural powers even when cooking; no wonder the taste is so strange.

After a moment of disappointment and sadness, Jiang Luoxue quickly regained her fighting spirit and, holding Zhang Yu's hand, said:

"Brother Zhang, today is the Lantern Festival in Immortal Phoenix City. I heard it's very lively. Shall we go and see it together?"

"This……"

Zhang Yu instinctively wanted to refuse.

After all, what's so interesting about this lantern festival? It's better to stay home and read banned books.

But when he thought of the trial task that the powerful being wanted to give his beloved a 'spiritual transformation and rebirth,' he immediately swallowed back the words he wanted to refuse.

Jiang Luoxue clearly has feelings for him.

Then let's go with her to take a look.

Perhaps some opportunity will allow Jiang Luoxue to undergo a spiritual transformation.

Thinking this, Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Alright, let's go to the street to see the lantern festival."

"Brother Zhang is so kind to me."

As the two chatted and laughed, Zhang Yu and Jiang Luoxue walked out of Huichuntang together.

at the same time.

In an alley next to Huichuntang, Jiang Qiao listened to her sister Jiang Luoxue and Zhang Yu discussing the lantern festival, and her heart began to ache with worry.

Since she received electroshock therapy from Zhang Yu yesterday, she has gradually stopped disliking him as much.

But I don't dislike her. However, my sister has been going too far lately. Last night, she kept saying she wanted to cook for Zhang Yu and even asked her to catch a spirit fish.

She practically had her desire to marry Zhang Yu and bear his children written all over her face.

This nearly scared Jiang Qiao to death.

The Heavenly Laws stipulate that these 'deities' cannot engage in private relationships. Otherwise, if the Heavenly Emperor discovers it, they will spend the rest of their lives in the Heavenly Prison, which is already considered the most merciful punishment.

If you were to be struck by the 'God-Slaying Whip,' which is specifically designed to destroy the soul, you'd probably lose half your life.

Jiang Qiao didn't know whether Jiang Luoxue would be whipped.

However, Jiang Qiao knew that if the Heavenly Emperor found out that the two of them had descended to the mortal realm through the Heavenly Gate, she would be in deep trouble.

"No, I need to persuade my sister to go back immediately."

Just as she was about to take action, Jiang Qiao saw her sister Jiang Luoxue's genuinely happy expression and immediately stopped in her tracks.

She knew that if she went up now to persuade her sister to return to the Immortal Realm, her sister would definitely not listen.

How to do?
What should I do? !
Just as Jiang Qiao was pacing anxiously, Zhang Yu and Jiang Luoxue had already arrived at a street that could accommodate twenty carriages.

"Brother Zhang, there are so many different kinds of lanterns here, and there are also lantern riddles to solve. Shall we try to solve the lantern riddles together?"

Jiang Luoxue pointed to a group of people gathered ahead and said.

"There are too many people there, let's find a less crowded place."

Looking at the densely packed crowd ahead, Zhang Yu said with a headache.

Throughout the journey, Jiang Luoxue was extremely curious about everything, and she would shout and yell at everything she saw, which almost drove him to a nervous breakdown.

Women are so annoying!

"Ok."

Jiang Luoxue looked slightly disappointed, then pointed to a stall next to her and said:

"Brother Zhang, what exactly is this snow pear?"

Before Zhang Yu could answer, the burly man in his sixties chuckled and said:
"Young lady, my snow pears are sweet but not cloying, seedless and pitless. Would you like to buy one to try? Only one hundred copper coins!"

Jiang Luoxue's eyes immediately lit up.

But the next moment, she had some doubts.

She had seen the Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends, spirit stones, gold, and silver.

But what are copper coins?
Just as they were about to question Zhang Yu, a monk wearing a tattered cassock walked up to the old man's pear stall and stretched out a dirty hand to beg:

"Esteemed benefactor, this humble monk is very thirsty. Could you please offer me a snow pear to quench my thirst?"

The old man immediately shook his head: "Master, this is just a small business for me. My whole family depends on these snow pears for a living..."

"It's just one pear, it won't stop your family from eating!"

“Master, you monks don’t have to pay taxes, and the government even gives you a monthly subsidy. This is really just a small business for me.”

The old man said with a mournful face.

"You have no magnanimity at all; you deserve to sell pears your whole life!"

The monk snorted coldly and shouted to the surrounding crowd:
"This old man refused to offer me a pear, but I will not hold it against him and will still offer you pears to show the Buddha's compassion!"

Amidst the astonished gazes of those around him, he broke off a vibrant green branch and planted it on the cobblestone street.

Then, he took the gourd from his waist, took a big gulp, and then spat it out at the tree branch.

"Pear trees, pear trees, grow tall!"

With a single incantation from him, the emerald green branch sprouted and grew into a huge snow pear tree.

What's even more amazing is that the pear tree skipped the flowering process and immediately became laden with fruit.

"Come, come, everyone, come and pick pears. This humble monk will treat you to some for free."

The monk smiled happily, appearing very hospitable.

The onlookers immediately expressed their admiration, and some even couldn't resist going up to pick the pears.

This must be a fairy pear!

But just then, Jiang Luoxue stepped forward, looking furious:

"How could you be so wicked, monk? Why did you use magic to get the snow pears that this old man was selling onto this tree?"

The monk's gaze instantly turned cold.

However, when he looked at Jiang Luoxue, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.

What a beautiful girl!
So he said with a smile, "Young lady, what makes you think that the snow pears on this monk's tree belong to this old man?"

"Slandering someone is a serious crime. Why don't you come back to Jinshan Temple with me to repent and eliminate your karmic obstacles?"
