Chapter 58: The Popular Mu Zha

The immortal pill exuded an enticing spiritual charm, making Mu Zha drool so much he couldn't help sucking his fingers.

However, recalling his mother's instructions before leaving, Mu Zha suppressed the urge to take the immortal pill and turned his head to look at Ao Yifan.

"Hehe, Mu Zha, hurry up and thank Uncle."

Ao Yifan smiled at Mu Zha in his arms and said.

Hearing that, Mu Zha immediately took the immortal pill from Taiyi True Person's hand, laughing as he said, "Thank you, Pang Shu Shu!"

"You little brat, Mouse Mouse is Mouse Mouse, what's the point of adding 'fatty'?"

Taiyi True Person pursed his lips, but he was naturally good-tempered and didn't take it to heart.

At the same time, Shen Gongbao beside him had also caught his breath.

Perhaps because Taiyi True Person's immortal brew was indeed good stuff, Shen Gongbao's originally pallid complexion also improved considerably.

However, Shen Gongbao, whose injuries had healed, felt even more gloomy.

After all, he would rather continue suffering than accept Taiyi True Person's favor.

There was no helping it; since joining the sect, Shen Gongbao, who had trained diligently, disliked nothing more than Taiyi True Person's lazy, careless nature.

After all, in Shen Gongbao's view, Taiyi True Person doing this was wasting his own excellent innate foundation, which for the poorly-born Shen Gongbao was a kind of spiritual torment.

However, Taiyi True Person seemed unaware of Shen Gongbao's hostility.

Upon seeing Shen Gongbao recover, he couldn't help but grin and say, "This batch of immortal brew really works; it's no longer those half-finished products from before!"

Hearing that, Shen Gongbao's face turned black.

"You, you, you used me as a test subject?"

Shen Gongbao pointed at Taiyi True Person and said.

"How can you say that? Junior brother, my immortal brew is made from a hundred immortal pills, mixed with various spiritual herbs and dew, refined by absorbing the sun and moon essences on Kunlun Peak—how could it harm you?"

Taiyi True Person said.

"Speak, speak, what side effects, side effects?"

After getting along this long, Shen Gongbao knew full well Taiyi True Person's flaw.

Hearing that, Taiyi True Person's expression stiffened slightly, feeling a bit guilty as he said, "This batch of immortal brew's side effect is to cause diarrhea, but it's fine—junior brother, you just need to plug it with a wooden stopper and you can still hold it in!"

Saying that, one saw Taiyi True Person rummage through his treasure bag and finally produce a treasure made of spiritual wood.

"Junior brother, this size is just right; use it for now, otherwise the nutrients of the immortal brew will leak out, which would be truly wasteful."

Taiyi True Person held the spiritual-wood treasure, looking earnestly at Shen Gongbao as he said.

"You..."

In an instant, Shen Gongbao nearly exploded with anger.

But before he could say anything else, the immortal brew in his stomach began to churn tumultuously.

Wanting to solve the problem, but thinking that next up was the mighty Yunxiao Immortal personally intervening, Shen Gongbao snatched the spiritual-wood treasure from Taiyi True Person's hand.

"Whoosh——"

He exhaled deeply, then stopped paying attention to Taiyi True Person and turned his gaze to the Jade Void Dao Field.

Seeing his junior brother ignore him, Taiyi True Person shifted his gaze to Ao Yifan, who was holding Mu Zha.

"Hey there, fellow cultivator, you look unfamiliar—are you here to become a disciple of the Jade Void Palace?"

Hearing that, Ao Yifan smiled slightly and said, "No, I brought my offspring to the Jade Void Palace to become a disciple."

"Ah? That's great—just right, since I still have no disciple; why not let this little brat become my disciple?"

Taiyi True Person's eyes flashed with delight as he looked eagerly at Ao Yifan.

It was clear he genuinely liked the well-behaved, adorable Mu Zha.

"Cough cough cough"

At that moment, Manjusri Broad Dharma Heavenly Venerable, who had been watching this side, gave a light cough and said, "Taiyi Junior Brother, though this child is fated with my Sect of the Elucidation, he has no affinity with you; since there is no affinity, one cannot force it—do you understand the principle?"

"This..."

Taiyi True Person felt a bit gloomy.

Seeing this, Ao Yifan smiled and comforted, "True Person, my child is indeed not suited to become your disciple; however, I have no other merits except being able to bear children—once my other kids are born, let them become your disciples, how about that?"

Hearing Ao Yifan's words, Taiyi True Person's gloom vanished at once.

"Then it's settled—I see your two little ones are extremely well-behaved; I imagine your other kids will be just as well-behaved, so I can wait for you to bring your children to become my disciples!"

"That's only natural—cultivators don't speak falsely!"

Ao Yifan gave a mysterious smile; he greatly looked forward to the day when he would bring a little demon to the other party, wondering what their reaction would be.

At the same moment, a clear, cold voice came from within the Jade Void Dao Field——

"Everyone of the Jade Void Palace, junior brothers and sisters, does anyone dare to spar with me? If not, then I will take this little brat back to the Sect of the Cutting!"

Saying that, Yunxiao Immortal's beautiful eyes turned and fell upon Mu Zha in Ao Yifan's arms.

Blinking his innocent big eyes, Mu Zha couldn't have imagined he would be so popular, as if everyone wanted to take him as a disciple.

There was no way around it; Mu Zha was born after Ao Yifan ascended to Golden Immortal, his innate foundation even surpassing that of his brother Jin Zha.

In the eyes of all who have attained the Dao, this is a perfect piece of uncut jade—how could one not be moved?

"Senior Sister Yunxiao, this child is fated with my Sect of the Elucidation; he must absolutely not be allowed to become your disciple in the Sect of the Cutting!"

Boundless Immortal Elder said in a deep voice.

He naturally understood Mu Zha's importance as well.

Now, Universal Worthy True Person being absent due to affairs, as the Eldest Senior Brother he naturally must stand in for his junior brother to guard this disciple.

Otherwise, when his junior brother returns and finds that the disciple he had reserved been snatched away by someone from the Sect of the Cutting, his junior brother would surely break down in tears.

"Hmph, you say this child is fated with your Sect of the Elucidation, so he is; I say he is fated with my Sect of the Cutting!"

Yunxiao Immortal would not yield an inch.

Today, unless you send someone to defeat me, then this child is mine!

This...

As usual, I've heard that Yunxiao Xianzi seems gentle but is actually firm; today, the Chan Sect immortals have finally witnessed this.

But defeating Yunxiao Xianzi—everyone here lacks that confidence.

Ah, Yunxiao senior sister, why be so overbearing?

Just then, a soft sigh was heard.

Immediately afterward, what the Chan Sect immortals never expected was that the usually low-key Cihang junior sister, who rarely quarrels with others, actually entered the fray.

Cihang junior sister, if it's you, there really is a chance; today, let the senior brother see what Dao you have comprehended.

Wuliang Xianweng narrowed his eyes, gazing at the back of Cihang Daoist.

To be honest, over these years, Wuliang Xianweng has found himself increasingly unable to see through this junior sister of his; faintly, another kind of power lurks within her.

As for this power, even the well-informed Wuliang Xianweng feels somewhat unfamiliar with it.

Cihang Daoist, I never expected that in the end it would be you and I discussing the Dao; so be it—today let everyone see whether it's your Chan Sect's first female immortal who is formidable, or my Jie Sect's first female immortal whose methods are deeper.

Yunxiao Xianzi said.
