Journey to the West: Deer Power Immortal, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Supreme Lord Tais

But then again, it seems that Golden Horn and Silver Horn are unaware that they are also going to descend to the mortal realm, otherwise they wouldn't be so calm right now.

You should know that in the original story, Silver Horn was put into the Purple Gold Gourd. If Dao Ancestor had arrived any later, Silver Horn would have turned into a puddle of pus.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingxuan looked at Silver Horn and reminded him, "Senior brothers, I have seen many monsters in the mortal realm these past few days. Among them are quite cunning and mischievous ones who are always eyeing other people's magical treasures. Although you two have many magical treasures, you still need to be careful. It would be no joke if you were tricked."

Golden Horn dismissed the suggestion, saying, "Junior Brother, you're overthinking it. We rarely leave the Tushita Palace; who could possibly fool us?"

"Exactly. Even if we went out, with our cultivation levels, ordinary demons would run away as fast as they could, let alone dare to try and deceive us."

Seeing that the two didn't take it seriously, Lu Qingxuan didn't say much more. He had already given them the reminders he needed to give. As for what would happen in the future, that would depend on their fate. If it really came to that, there was still the Dao Ancestor there.

"By the way, Junior Brother," Jinjiao suddenly remembered something and lowered his voice, "I just heard you say that those dozen or so demon kings are quite troublesome. Do you need Senior Brother's help? Although we can't go down to the mortal realm at will, the Dao Ancestor won't say anything if we go out occasionally."

Lu Qingxuan shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. With these magical treasures, those demon kings are nothing to fear. However, there is something that you two senior brothers might know about..."

"What is it?"

"I would like to ask, if Tiger Power, Sheep Power, and I wish to enter the Heavenly Court, do you two senior brothers have any connections?"

After a moment of contemplation, Jinjiao said, "If Junior Brother wants to join, there is no problem. It only requires a word from the Dao Ancestor. But Huli and Yangli are a bit troublesome."

"Junior brother should know that the positions of gods in the Heavenly Court are extremely competitive, with countless rogue immortals and demon cultivators who have cultivated for thousands of years scrambling to get in. Those two demons have neither a Dao Ancestor as a backer nor any special opportunities, so it is really not easy for them to enter the Heavenly Court."

Jinjiao's words were very straightforward, yet they reflected reality.

The Heavenly Court of today is not the same as the Heavenly Court during the Investiture of the Gods period. So how strong is the monkey? At the beginning, he was just a stable boy. If it weren't for what happened later, how could he have earned the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven?

In comparison, it would be difficult for Hu Li and Yang Li to enter the Heavenly Court.

Lu Qingxuan nodded. What Jinjiao said was exactly what he had thought. Now it seemed that the only way to save the two demons' lives in Chechi Kingdom was through offerings of incense and prayers.

"But junior brother, there's no need to worry. Who can predict the opportunities in this world? Look at you, weren't you also drawn in by the Dao Ancestor's Taiji Diagram?" Silver Horn laughed, seemingly noticing Lu Qingxuan's change.

Back when Lu Qingxuan first arrived at the Tushita Palace, they were also taken aback, which shows how mysterious the concept of "chance" truly is.

Lu Qingxuan smiled but remained silent.

Others may not know, but he knows very well that if Huli and Yangli had had this opportunity, they wouldn't have died in Chechi Kingdom.

Afterwards, Lu Qingxuan spoke with Golden Horn and Silver Horn for a while before descending to the mortal realm.

Although this trip failed to resolve the issue of the divine position, it did yield three magical treasures. In the future, these treasures alone will be sufficient to resolve many conflicts with others.

Upon returning to the Taoist temple on Zhongnan Mountain, Lu Qingxuan summoned the two demons.

"I've acquired two magical treasures on this trip. Would you two brothers like to see if they suit your needs?" Lu Qingxuan said, taking out the magical treasures.

Tiger Power Immortal picked up a tiger-head hammer, weighed it in his hand, and felt that it was heavy, weighing at least eight hundred pounds. The hammerhead shimmered with golden light and exuded a faint aura of power.

"This is excellent!" Tiger Power Immortal said with satisfaction.

The Great Immortal Yang Li then picked up the remaining small flag, which was blue and embroidered with a crane with bright, lifelike eyes.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a wisp of pure energy surged from the small flag, transforming into a crane that circled once in the courtyard before dissipating.

"This flag is exquisite, thank you, Third Brother."

Lu Qingxuan laughed and said, "I'm glad that you two brothers like it. With this magic weapon, we won't be afraid of even stronger opponents in the future."

"Absolutely!"

Tiger Power Immortal nodded. If he had been wielding this tiger-head hammer when he fought the Jackal King, he could have made the Jackal King vomit blood with just one blow.

"It just so happens that Third Brother has returned. My elder brother and I recently found a spiritual fruit, but it is protected by a restriction. If Third Brother is free, how about we go and take a look together tomorrow?" Immortal Yangli said with a smile.

Spiritual Fruit?

Lu Qingxuan thought for a moment and then nodded: "I will do as you say, brother, and we will go together."

"good!"

...

After a night of cultivation, as dawn broke in the east, Lu Qingxuan, along with the two demons Huli and Yangli, rode the clouds and flew towards the location of the spiritual fruit.

After walking for about half an hour, the mountains under their feet gradually became steeper.

Tiger Power Immortal pointed to a mountain peak shrouded in mist ahead and said, "Third Brother, this is the place."

"A few days ago, my second brother and I were chasing a badger that had become a spirit. We accidentally wandered into the mountains and found that spiritual fruit on the cliff. Unfortunately, there was a restriction around the fruit. We tried several times but could not get in. That's why we waited for you to come back so we could go together."

Lu Qingxuan looked in the direction Tiger Power Immortal pointed and saw that the mountain peak was towering into the clouds, and the upper part of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, making it difficult to see clearly.

However, there was a faint but strong spiritual energy emanating from the mountain, quite different from ordinary mountain ranges.

"Such a rich spiritual energy."

Lu Qingxuan praised, "There is probably more than one spiritual fruit in this mountain; there may be other rare and precious treasures as well."

Yangli Daxian nodded and said, "Third brother is right. That day, my elder brother and I caught a glimpse of the cliff and saw spiritual light shimmering on it. There were at least five or six spiritual herbs, but the restrictions were too strong, so we dared not approach rashly."

The three demons landed at the foot of the mountain and walked up the mountain.

The mountain road is rugged, with jagged rocks and ancient trees and dense vines on both sides.

The occasional bird calls from the woods made the place seem even more serene and profound.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the view suddenly opened up, and a cliff appeared before us.

The cliff is about a hundred feet high and covered with old vines, with a faint spiritual light shining through the vines.

"This is the place."

Tiger Power Immortal pointed to the middle of the cliff and said, "Third Brother, look, that spiritual fruit is right there."

Lu Qingxuan followed the direction Tiger Power Immortal pointed with his divine sense and saw a spiritual herb about three feet tall emerging from a crack in the rock halfway up the cliff.

The leaves are emerald green like jade, and at the top grows a vermilion fruit, about the size of a baby's fist, emitting a faint red glow.

Around the spiritual fruit, there was a faint layer of transparent light curtain, with runes flowing around it, clearly a remarkable restriction.

"This is... a nine-branched Ganoderma lucidum fruit?" Lu Qingxuan asked in surprise.

He had read many alchemical texts while in the Tushita Palace, so he naturally recognized this spiritual fruit.

I never expected to meet you here...
