Chapter 1325: Drifted to Sun Wukong

~3 min read 595 words

Therefore, Venerable Kasyapa did not know what to do, so he asked directly:

"Wukong, you also know that Sanzang cannot shed his mortal identity, at least during the journey to the West."

"Since that is the case, how do you think this should be resolved?"

Sun Wukong naturally knew very well that Tang Seng could not shed his mortal identity during the journey to the West.

But this did not mean that Tang Seng could not obtain benefits.

"Venerable, what you say is correct, but my master, although he cannot shed his mortal identity,"

"it doesn't mean he cannot obtain benefits."

"My master doesn't need any Golden Elixirs to improve his strength; just give him some immortal peaches, ginseng fruits, and the like."

"In this way, it allows my master to keep his mortal identity while also treating his headache."

"The best of both worlds!"

Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Venerable Kasyapa's mouth twitched.

Immortal peaches and ginseng fruits were good things in the Primordial world.

However, he, Venerable Kasyapa, had no way to obtain them.

Ginseng fruits were the treasure of the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhen Yuanzi; even if he, Venerable Kasyapa, threw away his face, he might not be able to get them.

Therefore, Venerable Kasyapa did not consider ginseng fruits at all.

But immortal peaches, Venerable Kasyapa could consider.

After all, now that the Western Fomen and the Heavenly Court had re-formed an alliance, plus this matter with Marshal Tianpeng, it was time for the Heavenly Court to pay a price.

Tang Seng, although closing his eyes and chanting the Heart-Clearing Mantra, had his mind drifting to Sun Wukong.

Now, hearing Sun Wukong strive for immortal peaches, ginseng fruits, and other good things for him,

Tang Seng was also very tempted.

Although he was but a mortal, Tang Seng had some understanding of the legends of immortal peaches and ginseng fruits.

They were things that, if eaten, would allow one to live as long as the heavens.

Venerable Kasyapa turned his head to look at Marshal Tianpeng on the side and said:

"Marshal Tianpeng, did you hear that? Master Tang Seng's heart disease needs immortal peaches or ginseng fruits to be treated!"

"I cannot manage this matter; you see if you can return to the Heavenly Court, find the Heavenly Emperor or Taishang Laojun, and ask for one!"

In Venerable Kasyapa's view, Marshal Tianpeng taking Tang Seng as a master was originally something the Heavenly Court used to share in their Western Fomen's merit.

Since Marshal Tianpeng encountered difficulties in taking a master, it was naturally for the Heavenly Court to solve it themselves.

Not to mention that this matter was caused by the Heavenly Court.

Consequently, after this, Venerable Kasyapa said directly to Marshal Tianpeng.

"Amitabha, Marshal Tianpeng, this matter started because of you, so you should be the one to solve it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Venerable Kasyapa chose to leave.

Since the Heavenly Court wanted to arrange for Marshal Tianpeng to join the Journey to the West pilgrimage team, they should naturally pay the corresponding price!

It was not as if they, the West, should continue to be the suckers.

Thus, Marshal Tianpeng watched Venerable Kasyapa's departing back and fell into a state of confusion.

As soon as Venerable Kasyapa left, Marshal Tianpeng's sorrowful expression disappeared.

Seeing this, Marshal Tianpeng looked at Sun Wukong with a grin and said:

"Monkey Brother, Monkey Brother, see if you can put in a good word for me; I really can't produce an immortal peach right now!" ===== CHAPTER 1327 =====
