Chapter 109: Teaching Method
Bai Yuan cautiously approached.
He felt Bai Yu's problem lay in those two beads.
Furthermore, Bai Yuan was certain that these one-red, one-blue beads originated from the underground Ice Fire Dragon King's remains, belonging to the power of ice and fire.
"Na'er is here; she should be able to easily resolve it."
Bai Yuan cast aside distracting thoughts, he took human form, and under the enveloping power of the Five Elements Formation, he reached his hand toward those two beads.
The power of ultimate fire and ultimate ice surged forth.
Bai Yuan did not want to oppose it; he feared the explosion's aftershock would harm Bai Yu, so he transformed into Yin and Yang Qi and returned along the pit.
Upon emerging from the spring, Bai Yuan immediately saw four figures.
These four were precisely Mu Junwu's metal, water, fire, and earth embodiments; because the metal embodiment needed to integrate into the formation, she did not come.
"Master, is the senior sister below?" Huo Shen asked.
Bai Yuan nodded, then turned his gaze to Shui Shen and said, "Shui Shen, Huo Shen, I need you two to go down and help me."
Since those two energies cannot clash head-on, let Huo Shen, who cultivates the Scripture of Annihilation, and Shui Shen, who cultivates the Scripture of Immortality, go down together.
"The disciple obeys." The two were well-behaved before Bai Yuan, showing no sign of disagreement that would lead to fighting.
The three jointly mobilized the power of the Five Elements Formation and plunged into the lake.
"Master, this place is very suitable for the disciple's cultivation; from now on, let the disciple cultivate here!" Huo Shen said at this moment.
The taciturn Shui Shen also said, "Master, I am the same as her."
Bai Yuan said, "This place is suitable for cultivation; if you wish to stay here, then stay. However, below lie the corpses of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King; do not go down before your strength is sufficient, lest you end up like your senior sister."
"Thank you, Master."
The three entered the cave entrance together, respectively transforming into Yin and Yang Qi, Eternal Flame, and countless streams of water, flowing in.
Upon seeing the gorgeous azure lotus again, the gaze of Mu Junwu's water and fire embodiments was instantly drawn to the two beads on it.
"Master, can I eat it?" the water and fire embodiments said simultaneously.
Bai Yuan nodded and said, "Just don't cause any trouble."
Shui Shen lightly nodded without speaking.
Huo Shen laughed and said, "Master, don't underestimate us five. As long as we five don't all die at once, we can be reborn."
Bai Yuan was quite surprised.
The water and fire embodiments then, without hesitation, reached out and grabbed the one-red, one-blue two beads.
Unlike when Bai Yuan reached up to grab them, the two beads offered no resistance and were seized by two almost identical white jade hands.
Allowing them to open their mouths and swallow it into their bellies.
At this moment, as if some balance had been broken, a soft shout suddenly rang out here: "Who!"
Without giving them a chance to answer, that voice was full of surprise and also revealed a hint of disbelief: "Master?"
The next moment, the azure lotus transformed into a stunningly beautiful little loli; however, as she had just taken form, her clothes began to shred rapidly, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.
However, at this moment, Bai Yu had already flung herself into Bai Yuan's embrace, leaving him able to see only her spotless white back.
"Master, are you really still alive? Am I not dreaming?" Bai Yu looked up at Bai Yuan, her voice sounding somewhat choked with sobs.
Bai Yuan rubbed Bai Yu's head, while soothing her emotions and protecting her with the power of the Five Elements Formation, changed her clothes, and then explained the general situation.
"It turns out to be like this, truly a bad master; not telling me about this made me worry for nothing." Bai Yu wiped her tears, tightly hugged Bai Yuan, and whispered.
Bai Yuan gave a wry smile and said, "Alright, that's all in the past. Speaking of which, Xiao Yu, what's going on with you now?"
Bai Yu gazed resentfully at Bai Yuan and said, "It's not that I felt you had met with misfortune, wanted to become strong quickly to avenge you, and then came down looking for opportunity."
Bai Yuan suddenly understood.
Bai Yu had not faced that group—the Slaughter King and the Asura God, the fugitives released from the City of Slaughter—she had already been trapped beforehand.
As for those corpses outside, they were likely due to them not finding anyone, leading to internal conflict.
Bai Yuan reached out and pinched Bai Yu's little cheek, teasing, "So you were ultimately suppressed by those two beads?"
Bai Yu lightly hammered Bai Yuan's chest, puffing her cheeks in anger, "I wasn't trapped by those two beads; I just need time to refine them."
Bai Yuan smiled but did not expose her.
In his heart, as long as Bai Yu's life was not in danger, that was fine.
The scene just now outside could have frightened him.
After gently stroking Bai Yu's disheveled hair behind her, Bai Yuan said, "Alright, these aren't important; what matters is that you don't take risks in the future."
Bai Yu pouted and said, "I know."
"Knowing is good; this is a gift from your master." Bai Yuan handed over the "Method of Cultivating the Chaotic Azure Lotus" to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu instantly felt a flood of information rush into her mind; her wine-red eyes became unfocused at this moment.
Bai Yuan transformed into Yin and Yang Qi, supporting Bai Yu as they flew upward; at this moment, Huo Shen and Shui Shen also followed up.
As soon as they emerged, Tu Shen of Mu Junwu immediately came forward and said, "Master, what's wrong with the senior sister? Why does her eyes have no luster at all?"
Bai Yuan said, "Don't worry, Xiao Yu is fine."
Bai Yuan still felt favorable toward Tu Shen of Mu Junwu.
After all, she had clearly stated that she would eventually merge and become one.
Tu Shen happily smiled and said, "As long as the senior sister is fine, that's good."
"Master, I'll go call the wood embodiment over?"
Earlier, Bai Yuan had promised her that after retrieving Bai Yu, he would tell her the method to resolve the wood embodiment's bodily issue.
Bai Yuan gave a slight nod and said, "Go call her over!"
"Thank you, Master." Tu Shen was delighted like a child; those who didn't know might think she had gained some benefit from being with Bai Yuan.
Tu Shen departed.
Huo Shen said, "Master, I will go down to cultivate, striving to soon achieve great accomplishment in the Scripture of World Destruction, to repay her kindness."
Bai Yuan nodded and said, "Go ahead, say whatever you want; I will fulfill anything I can."
Huo Shen laughed heartily like a man and said, "Master, I currently have nothing I want; may I leave this request to be brought up later?"
Bai Yuan nodded and said, "Of course."
Huo Shen transformed into a wisp of flame and merged into the Vermilion Red Hot Spring.
Shui Shen also said at this time, "Master, I will also go cultivate."
Bai Yuan remained silent, then after a moment asked Shui Shen, "Why don't you lie to me? Why don't you say the same thing as Huo Shen?"
Actually, whether it be Shui Shen, Mu Shen, or Jin Shen, they could learn from Huo Shen and Tu Shen, thereby avoiding much trouble, but none of them did so.
Shui Shen lowered her head and replied, "Master, she will not deceive you; we all originate from her, so naturally we will not deceive you."
Bai Yuan's gaze became unfocused.
After a long while, Tu Shen and Mu Shen arrived.
"Go down and cultivate!"
Shui Shen merged into the milky-white hot spring.
