Chapter 250: Green Ox Delivers the Elixir

Silence!

Deathly silence!

When Hou Tu Niangniang said she would send the Rakshasa girl to Ao Yifan, the Heavenly Court's prince consort, to be a maid, everyone wore a look of disbelief.

By Hou Tu Niangniang's side, Meng Po was also dumbfounded.

She only knew that Hou Tu Niangniang brought the Rakshasa girl to the Heavenly Court so that she could bear children with Ao Yifan and complete the Asura path within the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

But she never imagined that Hou Tu Niangniang would send the Rakshasa girl to Ao Yifan in this way.

"From before, I've suspected that this woman lacks common sense; now it seems my suspicion is not without reason."

Meng Po thought to herself.

Upon hearing Hou Tu Niangniang's words, Ao Yifan also stared blankly.

He glanced at the Rakshasa girl with her head lowered, then Ao Yifan gave a look to Yunhua Fairy beside him.

She understood, smiled, stepped forward, took the Rakshasa girl's hand, and said, "Since this is a gift from Hou Tu Niangniang, husband, we cannot refuse it."

Saying that, she brought the Rakshasa girl back to Ao Yifan's side.

Seeing this, the immortals couldn't help but sigh; Yunhua Fairy truly possesses extraordinary bearing.

She can face such a situation with composure, even resolving the predicament for her husband.

But those immortals had no idea that Ao Yifan had already mentioned Hou Tu Niangniang's matter to Yunhua Fairy and the others.

Although some details are unclear, Yunhua Fairy and the others know that Hou Tu Niangniang is about to become a saint.

And Ao Yifan has made Hou Tu Niangniang owe him a tremendous karmic debt.

This means that a saint could very well become the backing for their husband.

In this situation, let alone Hou Tu Niangniang merely sending a maid to their wedding; even if she wanted to marry their husband, turning their three-person marriage into a four-person one, they would not object.

After all, the weight of a saint is all too clear to both Yunhua Fairy and Longji Princess.

If Hou Tu Niangniang truly becomes a saint, then no matter what situation her family faces, having a saint as a backup would be nothing but beneficial.

Meanwhile, seeing Ao Yifan accept the Rakshasa girl, Hou Tu Niangniang also nodded in relief.

In her view, her plan indeed works; rather than racking her brains over how to get Ao Yifan to go to the Underworld, it's better to simply send the Rakshasa girl to him.

This saves time and effort.

But if others learned of Hou Tu Niangniang's such a plan, they would surely be speechless.

Among the crowd, Zhenyuanzi watched all this and roughly guessed Hou Tu Niangniang's thoughts.

"It seems, Fellow Daoist Hou Tu, you are not far from becoming a saint!"

Feeling a sigh in his heart, Zhenyuanzi felt somewhat envious.

After all, in his household, the tree spirits carefully tend the ginseng fruit tree seedlings every day, but no one knows how long it will take for the ginseng fruit tree to truly mature.

Of course, as the ancestor of earth immortals, Zhenyuanzi lacks no time; he only needs to wait for the second ginseng fruit tree to mature.

He has a premonition that, with the aid of the two ginseng fruit trees, contemplating chaos together, he will inevitably be able to take that final step.

"Moo—"

Suddenly, a lowing of cattle sounded, and in the next moment everyone saw two oxen walk into the hall.

"This is!"

Looking at the lead ox, an immortal immediately recognized its identity and stepped forward to pay respects.

"I have paid respects to the Green Ox Immortal beneath Lord Lao; I wonder how Lord Lao has been lately, and whether He has time to give me a little guidance."

The Barefoot Great Immortal was very courteous toward the Green Ox.

Upon hearing this, the immortals instantly realized: this ox is indeed the Green Ox Immortal beneath the Supreme Lord Lao.

"Moo, the saint has been busy refining a furnace of pills and has no leisure; today He ordered me to come to deliver congratulatory gifts to the two princesses."

The Green Ox lowed.

Having said that, he looked around and called, "Junior Sister Taibai, Junior Sister Taibai, I've come to deliver the congratulatory gift!"

"Cough cough"

Before the Green Ox's words faded, Taibai Jinxing appeared before him with a light cough.

"Green Ox Senior Brother, I've said before, when outside, call me Junior Brother!"

Taibai Jinxing, resembling an old Daoist with a white beard, spoke softly.

"Moo—"

Hearing this, the Green Ox lowed, shook its head and swayed its body, saying, "Trouble, too much trouble; you are basically my old cow's junior sister—how can you call me junior brother? Forget it; this is a gourd of golden elixir that my master ordered me to bring; please deliver it to the two princesses for the old ox."

Saying that, the Green Ox opened its mouth and spat out; a purple gourd flew from its mouth and landed in Taibai Jinxing's hand.

Seeing the purple gourd in Taibai Jinxing's hand, the surrounding immortals all wore looks of envy.

After all, this is a golden elixir refined by a saint; it can enhance an immortal's cultivation, and normally obtaining even a single pill is extremely rare, yet now Lord Lao produces a whole gourd at once.

In an instant, everyone thought of a rumor: that Lord Lao seemingly intends, in the midst of the kalpa, to bear with his own body the entire calamitous energy of the Human Sect, take up residence in the Heavenly Court, and dissolve all the calamitous energy that ought to be borne by the Human Sect's disciples!

At first, nobody paid attention to this rumor.

After all, Lord Lao is a saint's emanation; although the Heavenly Court is nominally the master of the heavenly realm, it cannot reach the saint's domain.

What merit or ability does the Heavenly Court have to allow a saint's emanation to take up residence?

However, the Green Ox's delivery of a gourd of golden elixir right now serves as corroboration of that rumor.

Quite evidently, in the view of many immortals, this is Lord Lao deliberately showing goodwill toward the Heavenly Court.

Otherwise, merely as a congratulatory gift, there would be no need to send an entire gourd of golden elixir.

"Even Lord Lao intends to take up residence in the Heavenly Court; it seems the previous overture by His Majesty Haotian to recruit this immortal should be given serious consideration."

The Barefoot Great Immortal is a quick‑thinking person and immediately thought of many things.

And immortals like the Barefoot Great Immortal are not few.

Noticing the reaction of the surrounding immortals, Tai Bai Jin Xing showed a hint of a smile on her face.

In fact, this was also decided in consultation between her and the Jade Emperor, using this occasion of the two princesses' grand wedding to send a signal to the immortals of the three households.

Heavenly Court, recruitment officially begins!

And it is quite obvious that the publicity effect this time is not bad.

"Senior Brother Qingniu, didn't the master say to have Senior Brother Xuandu come? Why is it you who came?"

Tai Bai Jin Xing wondered curiously.

Moo——

Qingniu shook his head and said: "It seems something happened over at the Chaos Sea; the master sent Senior Brother Xuandu to investigate, so I, this old ox, can only come deliver the things."

I see!

Upon hearing that, Tai Bai Jin Xing nodded thoughtfully.

Although I don't know what exactly happened over at the Chaos Sea, it actually required Grand Master Xuandu to personally go investigate.

But right now it's obviously not a good time to ask; Tai Bai Jin Xing made an inviting gesture toward Qingniu.

"Senior Brother Qingniu, your position has been arranged for you by your junior brother; by the way, I didn't ask earlier, who is this fellow Daoist?"

Saying that, Tai Bai Jin Xing turned her gaze and fell upon the big-headed white ox behind Qingniu.
