Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

That's it, I'm completely drained!

Looking at the nearly depleted Primordial Chaos Qi, Zhou Yi felt like crying.

He had only made a guess, but he never expected that the Primordial Qi could actually successfully nurture the peach seeds!

However, the 9,000-year-old peach originally belonged to the superior innate spiritual root. Due to the differentiation, its innate origin was too shallow. Therefore, Zhou Yi successfully replenished the peach's origin through the Primordial Dao Qi.

However, in terms of grade, it is only a mid-grade innate spiritual root!

However, although it is only a mid-grade innate spiritual root, it is a true innate spiritual root in the true sense, an innate spiritual root with a flawless origin, unlike the innate spiritual root of the nine-thousand-year-old purple-veined peach which is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

The Zhouyi tree, a mid-grade innate spiritual root, is a Ren-water peach that ripens once every six thousand years. The fruit it produces is just like the Queen Mother's six-thousand-year peach, with roughly the same innate spiritual power!

However, its innate essence far surpasses that of the nine-thousand-year-old purple-veined peach, and it is incomparable to the six-thousand-year-old peach that does not even have an innate essence!

"Wonderful, wonderful! With this spiritual root, I won't have to worry about not having enough materials for alchemy anymore!"

At this moment, Zhou Yi was overjoyed. Although his internal magical power was almost depleted, he still couldn't suppress his excitement!

"However, ripening once every six thousand years is a bit too slow!"

However, Zhou Yi had no choice; he didn't have a spatial magic weapon like the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, which could control the flow of time, like the Taiqing Sage!

Perhaps the world of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio could be a good fit!

After all, the time flow in the world of Liaozhai is much faster than that in the prehistoric world, roughly one to ten. This is because the world of Liaozhai became a subordinate world of the prehistoric world.

The flow of time was influenced by the primordial world; otherwise, it would be at least hundreds of times faster than the primordial world.

After all, the two worlds are too different!

The Primordial World has infinitely surpassed the top-tier Great Thousand Worlds, while the Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio world has only initially advanced to the Middle Thousand Worlds, with countless orders of magnitude separating them.

"Even so, it would take six hundred years!"

However, it's not bad; it's better than six thousand years, and besides, there are no innate spiritual roots in the world of Liaozhai. This innate spiritual root is just the right treasure to suppress the Heavenly Court's fortune in the world of Liaozhai!

Zhou Yi thought to himself...

Just as Zhou Yi was lost in thought, he suddenly sensed a visitor arriving. "Eh..."

How could it be him? What's he doing here?

Zhou Yi frowned, puzzled, but still got up to prepare to greet him. This was a great demon king that Zhou Yi really didn't want to provoke!

Jingxintang!

"Fellow Daoist Nezha, please have a seat!"

That's right, the person who came was none other than the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, the Little Demon King Nezha!

He currently holds a position in the Three Realms Marshal's Office of the Heavenly Court, holding a second-rank immortal position. He has achieved sainthood through physical cultivation. Given his qualifications and status, he should be doing quite well in the Heavenly Court!

Moreover, his comprehension was not bad either; otherwise, he would not have been able to kill Ao Bing, the third prince of the East Sea, at such a young age!

But......

Perhaps it was because he exerted too much effort when he was young, but he became a Taiyi Golden Immortal in just a few years and became the vanguard officer in the war against Shang. But so many years have passed.

He is still a Taiyi Golden Immortal!

To be precise, he's practically a half-step Great Immortal!

He possessed the magical power and realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, but he couldn't advance in terms of life level, which puzzled him for countless years. Of course, over these many years, he also found out the reason!

Because it was his master, Taiyi Zhenren, who was behind this!

The story of the Twelve Golden Immortals seeking a disciple to ward off disaster is no longer a secret. Back then, he was used by the True Man Taiyi to ward off disaster, fearing that he would not be able to escape the calamity!

So he was made to use his death to avert disaster.

I don't know why they saved him in the end, maybe it was because he was the vanguard officer destined to overthrow the Shang Dynasty!

But it was precisely because of the need to ward off disaster and fear of retaliation that the other party used the Seven-Colored Creation Lotus to create a physical body for him, resulting in a congenital defect in his physical body.

This is what's hindering his advancement to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

That's truly hateful!

With these suspicions in mind, he hasn't gone to Qianyuan Mountain or paid respects to his master, Taiyi Zhenren, for many years!

He has been looking for a solution all these years!

Unfortunately, they just couldn't resolve it; perhaps they didn't want to interfere in his karma with Taiyi Zhenren!

After all, the current Taiyi Zhenren is no ordinary Daluo Jinxian!

That's the Eastern Azure Emperor, one of the Six Emperors of the Three Realms, a Heavenly Venerable!

Although he doesn't have much power, his position is there. Most importantly, the other party is a Quasi-Saint Perfection expert. Who would dare to offend a Quasi-Saint big shot for the sake of a little Nezha or a little Taiyi Golden Immortal?

Still the Six Supreme Emperors of Heaven!

This time, Nezha was very excited to hear that this fellow Daoist Qinglian of the Pangu Clan could refine a divine pill that could help people achieve an innate spiritual body!

The main reason he cannot advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is that his innate body is incomplete!

Otherwise, he would have already attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, at least on par with Yang Jian!

"May I ask what brings Fellow Daoist Nezha here?"

Zhou Yi asked.

"I've heard that the True Lord can refine a ninth-tier divine pill called the Innate Primordial Embryo Pill, which can help one achieve an innate spiritual body. Is this true?"

Nezha asked cautiously.

"That's true!"

"However, fellow Daoist, the materials for refining my Innate Primordial Embryo Pill are not so simple. It requires a complete innate divine object, plus a 100,000-year-old Other Shore Flower, innate Yin-Yang divine materials, and ten thousand innate divine crystals to refine it!"

Zhou Yi nodded and said!

The most precious thing is a complete innate divine object!

So far, the only complete innate divine object that Zhou Yi has come into contact with is the Nine-Colored Creation Lotus, which he obtained from Guanyin Bodhisattva!

Upon hearing Zhou Yi's words, Nezha immediately took out a pile of materials!

It was a nine-colored creation lotus, a branch of innate laurel, a branch of innate hibiscus, and tens of thousands of innate divine crystals.

Good heavens, no wonder he's called the Little Demon King of the Three Realms!

Even Marshal Tianpeng, who dared to gather the fruit of the Fusang tree and the osmanthus blossoms of the laurel tree, would never dare to cut down branches directly!

After all, these two items are used to suppress the spiritual roots of the Sun Star and the Moon Star.

No one is allowed to damage these two things; it is a divine law!

A branch of a top-grade innate spiritual root can be transformed into a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure with a little refining by a grandmaster of weapon crafting. After all, the innate essence separated from the mother plant and the essence carried by the fruit it produces are not comparable.

This Nine-Colored Creation Lotus was something Nezha exchanged with Laozi back then. He asked Laozi to help him solve his physical problems, but Laozi refused!

Perhaps out of guilt or something else, I gave him a nine-colored Creation Lotus!

Over the years, Nezha has diligently studied the art, but to no avail...

"I don't have the 100,000-year-old spider lily on me right now, but please wait a moment, True Lord, I'll be right back..."

Before Zhou Yi could even reply, the figure transformed into a golden light and vanished before his eyes...

At that very moment, a mysterious and majestic voice rang in Zhou Yi's ears...
