Chapter 284: Refining medicine? Who? You want to refine her into medicine?

~8 min read 1,462 words

For three days, Tang An and her four disciples all stayed in the royal palace.

The news had already been sent back to the Great Tang, and Li Shimin had already sent iron cavalry to take over the city.

Sun Wukong went to Fangcun Mountain that day and returned, saying that Bodhi Patriarch didn't explicitly say whether he would come or not.

Tang An had enjoyed the addiction of being a queen for these three days. Of course, excluding handling government affairs.

She just enjoyed the same treatment as the king, receiving the worship of the officials, which was very pleasant.

Of course, it was fine to let her enjoy it for a day or two, but if she were really tied up as a queen, she wouldn't be happy.

Enjoying life was enough; those livelihood plans that made people exhausted should be left to her noble father to handle.

During these three days, something also happened in the sky.

That was, the deer demon returned to the sky and added fuel to the fire, telling the Antarctic Immortal a lot about how Tang An insulted the Antarctic Immortal.

For example, how Tang An didn't sell the Antarctic Immortal's face and even wanted to kill him.

For example, Tang An beat him up and even named the Antarctic Immortal to go down and apologize.

For example, if the three-day time limit wasn't met, and if the Antarctic Immortal didn't bring gifts to apologize, what kind of exaggerated consequences there would be.

Besides that, he also said she called him an evil peach, and so on. In short, it was one sentence: the destined one not only didn't put the Immortal in her eyes, but was also bullying people too much!

To put it more seriously, she simply didn't put Yuanshi Tianzun in her eyes either!

After the deer demon's various additions of fuel to the fire, the Antarctic Immortal finally became angry.

"Destined one? She really doesn't know the height of heaven and the depth of earth."

"Very well, I will come out of seclusion and meet her."

The poor Antarctic Immortal had been in seclusion for these few days and didn't know how many earth-shattering things had happened in the outside world.

From his current perspective, he didn't put the scripture-seeking team in his eyes at all. After all, Sun Wukong was once the Bi Ma Wen, and Yang Jian and Nezha were third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect, while Tang An was just a mortal.

And he was a person whose status exceeded the Twelve Golden Immortals under Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Master." The deer demon was determined not to stop until he pitted the Antarctic Immortal to death. "That destined one, it is said that one bite can grant immortality."

"With her body, wouldn't it be suitable for refining medicine?"

"Once the immortal medicine is refined, it will definitely be of great use to Master."

The Antarctic Immortal, with his peach-shaped head, stroked his beard and thought.

In fact, he did have this consideration, which was why he came out of seclusion after the deer demon said a few provocative words.

"That destined one is the foundation of the Journey to the West tribulation and cannot be killed."

The deer demon didn't care. "Master, how many destined ones have died? If this one dies, the West can just find another one."

"The West wouldn't dare to be enemies with our Yuxu Palace because of one destined one."

The deer demon looked exactly like a treacherous villain, while the Antarctic Immortal looked like he was thinking deeply, but in reality, every word the deer demon said was in his heart.

"Fine. Master is in seclusion and cultivation; just invite that destined one to Kunlun Mountain."

To avoid the deer demon messing things up again, this time the Antarctic Immortal sent the Crane Boy.

"Yes." The Crane Boy lowered her head and accepted the order to go.

In Bichu City.

Tang An sat on a rocking chair, fanning herself with a peacock feather fan, very comfortable.

Nezha looked at that fan and found it an eyesore no matter how he looked at it. But unfortunately, Tang An just liked those flashy things.

No, next time he saw another good-looking bird, he would definitely change her fan.

"Master." Sun Wukong was bored. "Will that Antarctic Immortal really come?"

Tang An wasn't panicked at all. "He, the Antarctic Immortal, has his own status and position. If he doesn't come, that's normal."

"Doesn't come?" Sun Wukong scratched his cheeks. "Then why did Master wait for three days for nothing?"

"I wasn't waiting for him; I was waiting for Bodhi Patriarch."

"Oh? So Master is sure that my master at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain will appear?"

Tang An shrugged. "My disciple has already gone to invite him, and next, it depends on my master's strength."

One master and one disciple went to invite him twice; they should be able to invite Bodhi Patriarch, right?

But it would be fine if they couldn't invite him; at most, it would be one less fun thing, and one less name to justify the action. If it really didn't work, they would find another opportunity next time.

She was now hoping that the deer demon would be capable and definitely pit his master.

"It seems Master is going to kill three birds with one stone." Yang Jian was wiping his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear and had already seen through Tang An's plan.

These three birds were: completing the tribulation of the Journey to the West, punishing the Antarctic Immortal, and finding a justifiable name to pit Yuxu Palace.

"However, the deer demon designed to use children's hearts to refine medicine; this matter only involves the Antarctic Immortal's negligence in supervision. It cannot reach the point where we are at odds with each other."

Tang An picked a grape and threw it into her mouth. "But if the deer demon hadn't learned specifically from his master, how would he know that the hearts of one thousand, one hundred and eleven children could refine medicine?"

"Do you really think that what the deer demon wanted was just to grow old together with a fox demon?"

"What he wanted was to use the fox demon's beauty to harm the muddled monarch, and then replace the muddled monarch to enjoy the world and beauty in his arms—the double happiness."

"Without the matter of refining medicine with children first, if he ascended the throne, he wouldn't be able to avoid opposition from the officials."

"But the matter of refining medicine with children had already made the public resentment boil, and the officials had no hope for the muddled monarch. Plus, with a little coercion and inducement, he would sit firmly in the king's position."

"If this tribulation hadn't been broken by us, he would have become the monarch of a country, sitting on beauty and the world."

"He, the deer demon, or the Antarctic Immortal behind the deer demon, is the real one killing three birds with one stone."

"And once the deer demon becomes the monarch, he can also intercept the national fortune of a country for the Chan Sect during the struggle between the Great Tang and other countries."

"By then, what kind of fiery and watery days will the commoners in the city live... I really can't imagine."

Tang An looked up at the sky. "They say mortals are like ants, but in this human world, everyone wants a share of the pie."

She was sighing, sighing at the insignificance of mortals and the injustice of the laws of encounter.

Yang Jian put down the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, not expecting Tang An to see so deeply.

He just wanted to say something, but heard a voice rise before him.

"Your insight actually has some depth."

Bodhi Patriarch appeared.

It seemed that it was better to have Master come forward.

Tang An stood up and bowed. "I ask Bodhi Patriarch to give me some guidance." At this moment, she became a good student who loved to learn.

Bodhi Patriarch flicked his whisk and appeared on the cattail mat beside him.

Tang An lifted her skirt and ran over, hurriedly pouring tea for the big shot, needing to learn well from the big shot.

And this discussion of the Dao opened Tang An's eyes, and she realized a deeper world.

Even Nezha, who had the least patience, sat obediently beside Tang An, listening to the lecture with them.

Tang An listened and felt unfinished, having thousands of questions in her heart that she wanted Bodhi Patriarch to answer.

However, before she could speak, two rows of cranes flew in from the sky.

"They're here."

The one who came was still the Crane Boy. ===== CHAPTER 285 =====
