The Great Bandit of Journey to the West

Chapter 154 Black Chicken Delivers a Child

After hearing Jiang Feng's story, the king's gaze towards the monk and the royal advisor changed; his wide eyes practically glowed with a green light.

The monk, trembling with fear at the king's gaze, knelt on the ground, pleading, "Your Majesty, I would never dare to overstep my bounds. When the ladies come to the temple to pray, they are always accompanied by many palace maids. You can ask them for confirmation!"

The Imperial Preceptor was a large, burly man with a full beard. Compared to the monks, he appeared quite calm. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have long since castrated myself of all worldly desires."

"Hiss~"

Jiang Feng gasped, staring at him as he asked, "May I ask if the Imperial Preceptor is the famous eunuch Zhang Yide?"

The bearded Grand Preceptor snorted and looked at Jiang Feng with a deep gaze: "My Buddhist name is Lion."

The national advisor before them was none other than the lion spirit that sat on the throne of Manjushri Bodhisattva, sent down to earth by Manjushri Bodhisattva to obstruct Jiang Feng and his companions from their westward journey.

Because of the lessons learned from the carp spirit and the golden and silver horns, Manjushri Bodhisattva specifically instructed him not to do evil in the mortal world, lest Jiang Feng use the Vajra Pestle to deliver him from suffering.

He diligently followed the instructions of Manjushri Bodhisattva. After descending to the mortal realm, he not only refrained from committing evil deeds but also helped alleviate the drought for the people of Wuji Kingdom.

Since the king has no children and is eager for one, he will definitely ask Jiang Feng and the others to help him find a solution.

With the secret assistance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he could easily give the king a son, defeat Jiang Feng and his group, and make them lose face in Wuji Kingdom.

After this, Jiang Feng and his group will inevitably suffer a sharp decline in reputation, and they will not be able to receive any good treatment wherever they go.

Even if the plan fails, he can still keep Jiang Feng in Wuji Kingdom for a period of time to complete the task assigned by Manjushri Bodhisattva.

No matter how you calculate it, he won't lose out, so he felt very confident.

Upon hearing that the lion spirit was a eunuch, the king immediately showed a sympathetic expression and said, "The royal advisor is a highly accomplished master; worldly desires are indeed none of your concern."

The lion-like spirit said, "Your Majesty, although these monks cannot share Your Majesty's burdens, I have a way to pray for a son for Your Majesty. However, I have a request, and I ask Your Majesty to grant it."

The king was overjoyed: "Please speak, Royal Advisor! I will grant any request within my power!"

The lion-like spirit chuckled, "If this humble Taoist can grant Your Majesty a son, I beg Your Majesty to expel these charlatan monks from my Wuji Kingdom and to proclaim their despicable acts of fraud to all the nations under heaven!"

The king replied without hesitation, "That's exactly right!"

The lion-like demon laughed and looked at Jiang Feng provocatively: "Jiang Feng, your day of utter disgrace is not far off."

Jiang Feng exchanged a glance with him, then said to the king, "Your Majesty, this humble monk is skilled in alchemy and can bring you a son. If I succeed, may Your Majesty grant me a request as well?"

The king exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? So the holy monk possesses such abilities! Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "I hadn't even had a chance to say it before you were about to throw my disciple out."

The king coughed awkwardly, sat up straight, and said, "Holy Monk, you and the Royal Preceptor will perform the ritual together. Whoever grants me a son, I will grant their request!"

Jiang Feng smiled and nodded, then looked at the lion demon: "Who wants to go first?"

The lion-like demon sneered, "You go first, lest I cast the spell and then claim it as your achievement!"

Jiang Feng smiled faintly and said, "Someone, prepare a black-boned chicken and a bowl of rice. I want to make Black-boned Chicken Fertility Pills for His Majesty!"

The king quickly ordered his men to provide Jiang Feng with the medicinal herbs and ingredients he requested. The group waited outside the palace kitchen and watched Jiang Feng walk into the kitchen.

After waiting outside for half an hour, the king anxiously paced back and forth in front of the door, asking the lion spirit, "Royal Preceptor, do you think the holy monk can successfully refine it?"

The lion spirit listened to the clattering sounds coming from the kitchen, feeling somewhat uncertain, but his face remained calm: "He must be bluffing. Your Majesty should not have any illusions."

The king frowned and glanced at him, feeling that this royal advisor was truly tactless. However, since he needed his help, he couldn't very well reprimand him. He could only calm down and wait for Jiang Feng to come out.

A moment later, Jiang Feng came out carrying a covered tray and placed it on the table that had been set up beforehand.

"Your Majesty, the Black Chicken Fertility Pill is ready. Please open the lid!"

The king eagerly stepped forward and reached out to open the lid first.

A dazzling white light shot into the sky, instantly blinding everyone.

"ah""

The king covered his eyes to catch his breath, and once he could see clearly again, he looked at the few pills on the plate and exclaimed in amazement, "Truly a divine medicine! It even glows!"

Jiang Feng said in a low voice, "White phosphorus, I added self-igniting white phosphorus to it."

king:"*----

After a while, the king recovered and praised again, "To be able to use white phosphorus in medicine, Holy Monk's alchemy skills are truly divine! Holy Monk, how did you neutralize the toxicity of white phosphorus?"

Jiang Feng said proudly, "To preserve the original flavor of the ingredients, I didn't neutralize any of the toxins!"

The king's face instantly darkened: "So you're trying to poison me?! Even a dog wouldn't eat this!"

Pigsy, who was secretly eating, stiffened slightly and said awkwardly, "Actually, this rice ball is quite delicious."

king:"----"

Who are these people?!

I've never been so speechless in all my years!

Jiang Feng comforted him at the right moment, saying, "Your Majesty, don't worry. This pill really works. After you take it, go back and have sex with the concubines in the palace. In a few days, you will be able to get what you want."

The king stared at the rice ball on the plate for a moment, then looked up at the lion spirit: "Royal Preceptor, why don't you cast the spell first?"

The lion-like demon puffed out its chest and said, "Your Majesty, I told you long ago they were charlatan monks. Now you believe me, don't you? Let me perform my ritual to pray for a child for Your Majesty!"

Jiang Feng raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Wait a minute. Even if His Majesty succeeds in having a child after you cast your spell, how can you prove that His Majesty's birth of a child is due to your efforts, and not because His Majesty was destined to have a child?"

The lion demon confidently said, "I invited Guanyin Bodhisattva to personally appear and grant His Majesty a child. Can this prove that it was my doing?"

Jiang Feng smiled faintly: "Then how can you prove that the Guanyin Bodhisattva you invited is real?"

The lion demon was taken aback: "Could Guanyin Bodhisattva be fake? Who would be so bold as to impersonate the Bodhisattva?"

Jiang Feng sneered, "Bo Xun, I've personally witnessed him impersonating a Bodhisattva. If you want to invite a Bodhisattva to descend to earth, then I'll do the same. Let's see who invites the real Bodhisattva first!"

Lion-like spirit: "————"

Oh no, how could I have forgotten about Mara, that troublemaker!

If Guanyin Bodhisattva were to personally intervene, Mara would definitely respond to Jiang Feng's summons and come to cause trouble!

What to do now? He really has no way to prove his contribution!
