Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

The man completely disregarded its monster status and grabbed its foot, shaking it frantically on the ground, trying to shake something out.

It's a monster! Not some stuffed animal!

The flower is furious!

It gathered scorching fire elements, its entire body becoming scalding hot. Just as it was about to launch an attack, it was met with a fatal punch.

"Damn it! Such a big sweet flower was eaten!"

Enraged that he hadn't revealed anything, Jiang Bai sent the monster back into the earth's ley lines.

In a fit of anger, he harvested all the sweet flowers around him, carrying a large bunch in his arms, before finally looking at Walnut:

"Master, what were you trying to say just now?"

Walnut: “(⊙o⊙)…”

Hu Tao was stunned.

Although cheating flowers isn't very effective, isn't your approach a bit too simplistic?

"I said, the monster you just caught is called a 'Flirting Flower.' It can mimic the appearance of a plant to lure passing creatures..."

"Oh!" Jiang Bai suddenly realized, "So my sweet flower wasn't eaten by it, it turned into it."

"What a pity, if only there were such big sweet flowers..." Jiang Bai said regretfully, clicking his tongue.

That sweet flower is really big! The fruit in the center of the petals alone is the size of his fist. I wonder how sweet it must be...

walnut:"......"

You don't have to love sweet flowers so much!

Hu Tao pulled out a basket for him, and Jiang Bai hummed a little tune as he put all the sweet flowers into the basket and carried it on his back like a treasure.

"Sweet flower, oh sweet flower~ I love sweet flower~"

Humming a strange little tune and sucking on sweet flower nectar, Jiang Bai was extremely happy.

Hu Tao couldn't bear to watch anymore. "Could you sing any worse?"

"Master, your singing is just so-so..." Jiang Bai said, then quickly covered his mouth.

I'm getting carried away, I misspoke!

Seeing that Hu Tao's anger was rising, Jiang Bai turned and ran!

The staff of homa appeared in her hand, and a raging fire blazed in Hu Tao's eyes. "You stop right there!"

As Jiang Bai ran, he carefully protected the sweet flowers in his basket from falling out. He turned a corner and saw someone practicing boxing under a tree in the distance.

This man was burly and powerful, swinging his fists in mid-air with tremendous force, faster and faster, so fast that it even stirred up the surrounding fallen leaves, giving the impression that he was about to take off like a propeller.

"This guy is obviously a master!"

For the sake of his own life, Jiang Bai ran towards this expert without hesitation.

As he ran, he shouted, "That expert up ahead!"

The boxer stopped his movements upon hearing the sound, looked at Jiang Bai, and seemed somewhat bewildered.

"Are you calling me?"

"Yes, it's you I'm calling!"

Jiang Bai suddenly rushed over and hid behind him, "Such a brave warrior would surely not stand by and watch someone die!"

"What?" The man looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

"Never mind that, protect me first..."

Chapter 53 Hall Master, I was wrong!

As they were talking, Hu Tao rushed out from around the corner, brandishing a long spear and looking menacing.

With a sinister expression, she approached Jiang Bai step by step.

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore!"

Last time they said her singing sounded like a wolf howling; this time they say her singing is awful.

She's definitely going to teach this guy a lesson today!

"Brave warrior, save me!" Jiang Bai patted the humanoid shield's shoulder and hid behind it.

The burly man practicing his boxing looked at the young girl, Hu Tao, and then at Jiang Bai, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

He pulled Jiang Bai out from behind and placed him in front of Hu Tao.

He's a grown man, but he handles him like he's a chick.

He expressed his disdain for Jiang Bai's behavior of trying to avoid a little girl and hiding behind him.

"Young lady, I don't know this person. You can resolve any conflicts between you yourselves." He chuckled sheepishly, scratched his head, and stepped aside.

Although he looks a bit simple-minded, his behavior is anything but.

It's best not to meddle in other people's affairs.

Now it was Jiang Bai's turn to be dumbfounded.

This isn't quite what I expected!

Normally, shouldn't he be questioning why Hu Tao was chasing him? Hu Tao was so menacing, didn't he sense it?

He was just a fragile, helpless, pitiful person who had lost his memory!

"Jiang Bai, tell me, how do you want to die?" Hu Tao patted her palm lightly with the Staff of the Homa, her smile sinister.

"Master, I was wrong!" Jiang Bai immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake without any shame, almost kneeling down on the spot.

"Is admitting your mistake enough?" Hu Tao lowered her eyelids and gripped the staff of homa tightly.

"I will punish myself with a month's salary!"

"not enough!"

"Two months!"

"not enough!"

Walnut charged forward, brandishing her homa staff, shouting, "I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

"Ah! Master, spare me! Spare me! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

The fiery red gun barrel left a deep, hard mark on Jiang Bai's face, and Jiang Bai's wail echoed throughout the valley.

The burly man on the side just watched as Jiang Bai was unilaterally beaten by Hu Tao. Before the gun and stick even fell, screams of agony rang out, screams that were as miserable as could be.

He found it so interesting that he was almost ready to crack some sunflower seeds.

A little while later, Jiang Bai got up from the ground with a bruised and swollen face, groaning in pain.

After venting her anger, Hu Tao rolled her eyes.

She knew the force with which she struck; this guy was screaming like a pig about to be slaughtered.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was about to slaughter a pig...

She adjusted her hat, walked over to the burly man, clasped her hands in greeting, and said:

"I apologize for disturbing you; I was dealing with family matters."

"It's nothing, it's quite interesting." The burly man waved his hand dismissively.

He looked at Jiang Bai, whose face was bruised and swollen, and forced a smile, inviting him, "I live up ahead. Would you like to come over and sit for a while, and maybe you can apply some medicine to this young man's wound?"

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

After running such a long distance, Hu Tao also wanted to find a place to rest, so she readily agreed.

Jiang Bai, carrying a basket of sweet flowers, followed behind with a limp.

Do you live here?

"No, that's not it. There's an immortal here who has opened an altar to take on disciples and spread his teachings. I'm currently learning from him."

"Oh? An immortal?" Hu Tao became interested.

Jiang Bai, who was pretending to be in pain, quietly pricked up his ears.

The idea of ​​an immortal opening an altar to impart knowledge sounds very interesting.

"What is this immortal's name?"

"The immortal is named Thunderclap and Lightning True Lord. His Thunderclap Fist Technique is as fast as lightning, too fast for the naked eye to follow. I am currently studying it in order to reach the level of an immortal."

"If it's invisible to the naked eye, how can you tell that he performed a set of boxing techniques?" Jiang Bai questioned.

"You don't know this," the burly man said, looking at them as if they were ignorant. "After the immortal finished his set of fist techniques, his clothes were not disheveled at all, but the boulder opposite him shattered as if it had been hit by a tremendous force!"

He saw it with his own eyes; otherwise, he wouldn't have believed it.

"Wow! Is there really such a method? I must learn something new!" Jiang Bai looked expectant, forgetting even to pretend that he was in pain.

If this Thunderclap and Lightning Lord is truly as the burly man described, then this is the second immortal he has encountered in Liyue.

"Besides me, there's another person learning from the immortal. I'll introduce you to the immortal later; with your aptitude, you should be able to become his disciples." The burly man patted his chest, looking as if he was entrusting the task to me.

Although it's impossible to discern their true abilities, given that even someone as dull-witted as him has become their disciple, the two possessors of the Eye of God must be quite accomplished.

"By the way, I still don't know your names."

"My name is Hu Tao, and this is my family's servant named Jiang Bai." Hu Tao did not reveal her true identity.

She felt that this Thunder God's behavior was different from what she remembered about immortals, and there might be something fishy going on.

"By the way, I have a friend who works at Wangshengtang, a funeral service company. If you need anything, you can get a 20% discount by showing this flyer." Hu Tao pulled out a flyer and stuffed it into his hand.

They are new clients I've never met before, and they are worth developing.

"Uh..." The burly man held the flyer, unsure whether to throw it away or not.

He's still young, why would we sell him funeral services?

Are people nowadays so unscrupulous in their pursuit of business?

"I'm afraid I won't need this..." He wanted to refuse the flyer.

Hu Tao waved her hand, "It's alright, everyone dies eventually, you'll always find a use for them later!"

After an eerie silence, the burly man finally accepted the flyer.

He simply crumpled the flyer into a ball and casually stuffed it into his pocket.

This was the first time Jiang Bai had ever seen Hu Tao promoting the business of the Rebirth Hall to someone.

I have to say, this kind of forceful sales tactic is really impressive!

“I haven’t told you yet, my name is Wu Cong, and I live in these mountains.”

“I have been to this mountain many times, but I rarely see any residents here.”

"My ancestors longed to seek immortality, but the path to immortality was difficult to find, requiring them to 'search high and low, ascend to heaven and descend to earth.' My ancestors passed the trials of 'heaven,' but were trapped in the trials of 'earth'..."

"Later, they were not content with this place, so they settled in the Jueyun Mountains, and I also grew up here."

Wu Cong recounted his ancestors' experiences and also briefly explained to the two why he lived in the mountains.

"I see..." Hu Tao suddenly realized.

She had seen some ancient books that recorded things about seeking immortality and asking questions, but their Rebirth Hall had its own traditions and did not need to seek immortality and ask questions.

"Is seeking immortality and enlightenment really that difficult?" Jiang Bai asked curiously.

Without Wu Cong speaking, Hu Tao answered his question:

"Of course it's difficult, otherwise why would there be so many stories circulating in the streets about an ordinary person receiving teachings from an immortal and thus reaching the pinnacle of life?"

Chapter 54 How can one learn the True Lord's Daoist arts?

Wu Cong also sighed, "Yes... at least you possess the Eye of God, and are favored by the gods. For us mortals, we will never see immortals in our entire lives."

"So, when I heard that an immortal was here to impart knowledge, I rushed here immediately, just to fulfill the regret of my ancestors..."
