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

After carefully putting away the immortal fruit, Lu Qingxuan bowed again in thanks.

Qingfeng and Mingyue said no more, turned around and stepped onto the blue clouds, heading towards Wuzhuang Temple.

The two hadn't gone far when Lu Qingxuan suddenly heard their voices.

"Mingyue, what did that guy say? Is he really the master's illegitimate son?"

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? You interrupted him before he could even open his mouth..."

Hearing their conversation, Lu Qingxuan was both amused and exasperated; these two boys were truly free-spirited.

I wonder what Zhenyuan Daxian's expression will be when he finds out...

On the mountaintop,

Tiger Power Immortal stared at the two immortal fruits, rubbing his hands together, and said, "Third Brother, are these... really for us?"

Lu Qingxuan laughed and said, "Since the two celestial children delivered it personally, how could it be fake?"

The Great Immortal Yangli was overjoyed, yet also somewhat apprehensive: "This is a celestial fruit; are the three of us demon cultivators worthy of such a grand gift?"

Lu Qingxuan gazed at the two jade-white immortal fruits, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Whether one can accept them or not does not depend on whether one is human or demon, but on one's heart. Since Zhenyuan Daxian has given them to us, it means he feels that we can accept them."

He paused, then continued, "However, by accepting this gift, we will owe Wuzhuang Temple a favor in the future..."

Tiger Power Immortal said, "At worst, if anything happens to Wuzhuang Temple in the future, we'll risk our lives!"

Sheep Power Master nodded in agreement: "Yes, we may not be any great figures, but we are not ungrateful people either."

Lu Qingxuan smiled but didn't reply.

With Zhenyuan Daxian's strength, there aren't many who can cause him trouble. As for minor matters, Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two attendants, can handle them. But settling this favor won't be so easy.

But since it's already here, there's no reason not to use it.

Lu Qingxuan placed the jade tray on a flat bluestone and said, "Brothers, eat it while it's fresh."

As he spoke, Lu Qingxuan handed a celestial fruit to the two of them.

Tiger Power Immortal took the immortal fruit; it felt heavy in his hand, and he could vaguely sense the immense spiritual power contained within.

He and the Great Immortal Yangli exchanged a glance, and the two demons found a flat place to sit down and carefully divided the immortal fruit in half.

The moment it was cut open, a rich aroma spread out, attracting birds from the mountains to circle around it from afar.

Lu Qingxuan sat cross-legged on the blue stone and swallowed the remaining immortal fruit.

The fruit melts in your mouth, transforming into a warm spiritual energy that slides down your throat and into your stomach, instantly enveloping your entire body in warmth.

The spiritual energy was not as violent as heavenly lightning; it was as gentle as water, slowly seeping into the meridians, dantian, and flesh, constantly repairing the hidden injuries left during the tribulation.

He guided that spiritual energy through a full cycle within his body, feeling every inch of his skin relax and every pore rejoice.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes.

The sky had darkened, dotted with stars, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.

The two demons, Tiger Power and Sheep Power, had already finished eating the immortal fruit and were now sitting cross-legged not far away, refining its medicinal power.

now,

The two demons had a faint glow flowing around them, though not as dazzling as Lu Qingxuan's, they were still clearly much more advanced than before.

Sheep Power Immortal was the first to open his eyes, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, got up and stretched his limbs. With a crackling sound, he seemed to have become much younger.

Before long, Tiger Power Immortal also awoke from his cultivation. He stood up, waved his hand casually, and the blue stone in front of him shattered.

"Very good, very good, this immortal fruit is truly excellent," said Tiger Power Immortal with a smile.

Seeing Tiger Power Immortal's excited expression, Lu Qingxuan smiled and shook his head, then stood up and stretched his limbs.

With this movement, I felt an indescribable sense of ease and comfort throughout my body, as if an invisible shackle had been removed.

He raised his hand and waved it gently, and a breeze arose from his palm. Wherever it passed, the plants and trees affected by the aftershocks of the heavenly tribulation immediately became vibrant with life, and some even blossomed.

"Third brother, your skills truly put us to shame," the Great Immortal Yangli exclaimed in amazement.

Lu Qingxuan shook his head and said, "It's just that the medicinal power of the immortal fruit hasn't been fully refined yet, and a little of it has dissipated."

The three brothers chatted and laughed for a while on the mountaintop, and as the moonlight grew brighter, they decided to return to the temple to rest.

As Lu Qingxuan turned around, he suddenly stopped and scanned the distance with his divine sense.

He was all too familiar with those two auras.

"Third brother, what's wrong?" Tiger Power Immortal asked.

Lu Qingxuan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. You two brothers go back first. I'll go for a walk somewhere else."

Although Tiger Power Immortal was somewhat curious, he didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and left with Sheep Power.

Before long, two figures appeared in front of Lu Qingxuan.

One wore a golden robe, and the other a silver robe; they were the two attendants, one golden and one silver.

"Junior brother, how have you been?"

Golden Horn sized him up and said, "It hasn't been long, and you're already at the mid-stage of the Profound Immortal realm? And that incense offering from ten thousand people—I'm quite envious!"

Silver Horn then pulled a white jade bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Qingxuan: "Junior Brother, this is something I stole from the Dao Ancestor's alchemy room. You lost a lot of vital energy during your tribulation, so you need to replenish it properly."

Lu Qingxuan held the white jade bottle, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.

Although Silver Horn said this, he was well aware that if the Dao Ancestor did not agree, Silver Horn's cultivation level would not be able to steal the pills out of the pill room.

Even so, Lu Qingxuan was still very moved: "Thank you, senior brothers."

Silver Horn waved his hand: "We're fellow disciples, no need for thanks. But your alchemy furnace, after this incident, it's probably unusable now, isn't it?"

Lu Qingxuan nodded with a wry smile; he hadn't expected his Xuanxian Heavenly Tribulation to be so terrifying.

"Don't worry, see what good things your brother has brought you."

As he spoke, Jinjiao took out a purple alchemy furnace from his sleeve. The furnace was surrounded by immortal energy and engraved with totems of all things. It was far superior to Lu Qingxuan's original alchemy furnace.

"This is..."

"This furnace was obtained by the Dao Ancestor by chance. Although it cannot compare to the Eight Trigrams Furnace, it is sufficient for you now. I think the Dao Ancestor would not need it even once every few hundred years, so I simply gave it to you," Jinjiao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingxuan's lips twitched. One stole pills, and the other stole the pill furnace. They were going to empty the entire Doushuai Palace.

"Alright, we two can't stay in the mortal realm for too long. If you have some free time, remember to come back for a visit. Although we may not be able to see the Dao Ancestor, we two will always be here," Silver Horn said, patting Lu Qingxuan on the shoulder.

Lu Qingxuan nodded in agreement, and the two of them left without lingering any longer, riding the clouds away.

After watching the two leave, Lu Qingxuan turned around and returned to the Taoist temple.

He didn't believe everything the Golden Horn and Silver Horn said. He had been in the Tushita Palace for many years, so how could he not know the rules?

The Dao Ancestor's possessions are not to be stolen; even touching them will result in being punished by kneeling for three days.

The fact that Golden Horn and Silver Horn were able to bring them out must mean that the Dao Ancestor had given his approval, or at least tacitly agreed to it.

Lu Qingxuan took a deep breath and bowed towards the location of the Doushuai Palace.

"I will remember your kindness, Master."

The mountain breeze blows, and the pines rustle, like an echo from heaven.
