Chapter 19: Returning to the human race, repaying human karma

"What should we do now?" Seeing Ding Guang Xian flee toward the East Sea, Bi Xiao asked.

Gu Xiu pondered slightly.

"I believe Ding Guang Xian probably won't go to the human tribe to commit evil and ruin the reputation of my Jie Sect for the time being, but whether he will look for water tribe creatures on the East Sea is hard to say."

"What is he looking for water tribe creatures for?" Bi Xiao asked curiously.

"Uh... nothing." Gu Xiu changed the subject: "Uncle-Master, how did you run out of the Three Immortals Island?"

"I should be the one asking you, why are you here?"

"Recently I have been a guest in a human tribe. Would Uncle-Master like to go to that human tribe with me?"

Seeing that Gu Xiu did not pursue the questioning, Bi Xiao was very satisfied, and upon hearing the invitation.

She thought for a moment; she had not been to the human race for tens of thousands of years.

"Very well, I will accompany you to take a look."

She was out to play anyway, and with Gu Xiu taking her to play, she was naturally willing.

The two returned to the Shi Clan tribe.

As soon as the patriarch saw them, he immediately led the villagers forward: "Holy Master, it is truly great that you are safe and sound."

"Holy Master?" Bi Xiao was suspicious: "How did you become the Holy Master of this human tribe?"

"This is a long story."

Gu Xiu told her the cause and effect of how he became the Holy Master; he did not want to, but the Shi Clan tribe insisted on recognizing him.

Bi Xiao nodded: "So that's how it is."

But she did not understand why Nüwa summoned Gu Xiu.

After leading the villagers to kneel and worship Gu Xiu, the patriarch of the Shi Clan tribe asked impatiently: "Holy Master, where is that monster?"

"That monster has already been beaten away." Gu Xiu said lightly.

Hearing this, the patriarch breathed a sigh of relief: "Many thanks, Holy Master. That monster was too powerful; even the witch doctor in the tribe was no match. If it weren't for the Holy Master, we would have been in danger."

Ding Guang Xian is also a Da Luo Golden Immortal in the early stage, a disciple of the Saint; it is impossible for a small tribe's witch doctor to compare, but this is a matter of the Jie Sect, so he has to take some responsibility.

"Patriarch, you are too polite. I will find a way to prevent this monster from coming to the tribe to commit evil again."

He firmly refused to admit that he knew Ding Guang Xian; as long as Ding Guang Xian was not dead, he was always worried that he would ruin things.

"Many thanks, Holy Master. Holy Master, you are truly the benefactor of our Shi Clan tribe." The patriarch of the Shi Clan tribe was grateful again.

Subsequently, Gu Xiu took Bi Xiao back to the large house in the middle of the tribe.

The task of joining forces with Bi Xiao to teach Ding Guang Xian a lesson had been completed, and the system rewarded five peaches.

Gu Xiu took one out for Bi Xiao; after all, it was a task completed together.

"Uncle-Master, this is for you."

"Peaches? The quality should be that they mature every three thousand years. How did you get them?" For Bi Xiao's realm, although peaches are considered precious, they are of little help to cultivation and are usually enjoyed as immortal fruits.

Before Gu Xiu could answer, Bi Xiao seemed to have thought of something.

"You didn't sneak into the Heavenly Court's Peach Garden to steal peaches, did you?"

"Uncle-Master is joking. The Primordial is vast, and it's not just the Heavenly Court that has peach trees. I obtained these from elsewhere; I'm giving one to Uncle-Master to satisfy her craving."

Bi Xiao thought for a moment: "Very well, Uncle-Master will accept it."

Gu Xiu intended to give one each to Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao with the remaining four peaches.

As for the remaining two, he would eat one himself, and the other had its own wonderful use.

At this moment, Lu Yao brought in another basket filled with fruit.

"Holy Master, this is the fruit the patriarch asked me to bring you."

Gu Xiu nodded: "The old rule, you eat these."

"By the way, you eat this first." Gu Xiu took a peach and gave it to Lu Yao.

Peaches are of little use to him at the moment, but for mortals, they are immortal pills and miraculous medicines, which can improve their physique, prolong their life, and make them a cultivation genius among mortals.

Seeing the peach Gu Xiu took out, its shape was full and round, its color was pink and tender like clouds, and it emitted a charming fragrance.

That fragrance was quiet and sweet; a light sniff could make people intoxicated.

Lu Yao drooled and took it, eating it with a light bite.

In an instant, a sweet and cool juice, containing powerful life-force energy, went down her throat, spread throughout her body, and filled her limbs and bones.

The meridians in her body were like being washed by a clear spring; the blocked places were instantly cleared, the turbid energy was discharged from the body, and her whole person felt extremely light, as if she were about to float up.

This feeling made Lu Yao feel very wonderful, but she did not think much about it, just kept listening to Gu Xiu's words and ate the peach.

"Holy Master, I'm finished."

Gu Xiu protected Lu Yao from the side to prevent her from being exploded by the massive spiritual energy of the peach.

Seeing the other party eat the peach, her originally malnourished body became full, a faint glow appeared on her skin, and her eyes became clearer and more spirited.

Gu Xiu nodded with satisfaction; the effect of the peach on mortals was somewhat unexpected.

"Lu Yao, what I just gave you to eat is a peach from the Heavenly Realm, which matures every three thousand years. If a human eats it, they can become an immortal and attain the Dao, have a healthy body and a light spirit. Of course, this is just a statement in terms of meaning; it doesn't mean you will become an immortal directly, it just helps you cultivate and attain the Dao, speeding up your path to becoming an immortal."

"I will now pass on a set of cultivation methods to you, which counts as repaying the karma with the Shi Clan tribe. From now on, the Shi Clan tribe will be protected by you."

This counts as him repaying the karma of the human race.

The sudden words made Lu Yao startle; she had never thought of such a thing, and her clear, ignorant eyes blinked: "Holy Master, can I do it?"

Gu Xiu nodded gently: "I believe you can do it."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and a stream of light flew over and entered Lu Yao's forehead.

Seeing some cultivation techniques in her mind, Lu Yao was at a loss and a bit overwhelmed.

Gu Xiu said indifferently: "This is the immortal method I have passed on to you; you should cultivate it well."

"Yes, Holy Master."

The matter of the Shi Clan tribe was over, and Gu Xiu and Bi Xiao set off to return to the Three Immortals Island.

He intended to inform Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao about Ding Guang Xian's matter, and then go to Biyou Palace to file a complaint, so even Bi Xiao stopped playing and returned to the Three Immortals Island with Gu Xiu.

"Gu Xiu, it seems you are quite good to this human tribe." Bi Xiao asked on the way.

Gu Xiu smiled shallowly: "Since there is some karma with them, it must be repaid. But now that the karma has been eliminated, they can only rely on themselves in the future."

Ding Guang Xian went back first; he thought the other party had already gone to Biyou Palace to file a complaint and bite him back, and Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao probably already knew about this.

But after the two returned, Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao appeared very calm.

It was clear at a glance that Ding Guang Xian had not yet gone to Tong Tian to file a complaint.

He felt strange in his heart, so he had to temporarily not mention this matter and talk about it later.

He took out the two peaches.

"Master, Uncle-Master Qiong Xiao, these are peaches I obtained by chance. I am giving you one each to taste."

Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao took the peaches in their hands and examined them.

They asked the same question as Bi Xiao before.

"Where did you get these peaches? You didn't sneak into the Heavenly Court's Peach Garden, did you?"

Gu Xiu told them the excuse he gave Bi Xiao again.

"Master, what are you thinking? The Primordial is vast, and it's not just the Heavenly Court that has peaches. I obtained these from elsewhere. Perhaps the disciple will be able to obtain peach tree seeds to plant on the Three Immortals Island in the future."

Thinking that Gu Xiu had indeed had many opportunities recently, Yun Xiao said: "In that case, I will accept the peach."

Following that, she moved her lotus steps and paced outside the pavilion.

"Although the current Heavenly Court is weak and has no deterrent power, the Heavenly Emperor was appointed by the Dao Ancestor's decree, and your Grandmaster is a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, so we should not conflict with the Heavenly Court. If you want to sneak into the Heavenly Court to do something, it is best not to be discovered."

Feeling that there seemed to be words within words, Gu Xiu pondered for a moment: "Does Master mean that it is fine if I am not discovered?"

Yun Xiao snorted lightly, her pink face containing anger, and she turned her head away as if angry: "I didn't mean that."

Seeing Yun Xiao's coquettish anger fully displayed, Gu Xiu was slightly stunned.

It seems that his master also has a unique moving demeanor when she is angry.

If it weren't for the involvement of the killing calamity of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Gu Xiu felt how good his current life was.

Whatever Dao Ancestor, Chan Sect, or Heavenly Dao wants to Investiture of the Gods, they must first ask him. ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
