The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Bai Zhi tilted her head. "If we're talking about experts, I think I met an old man. That old man had a similar aura to my master. In my opinion, he should be called a traveler who has stepped into the path of balance."

"He seemed very interested in me and specifically sought me out for a discussion."

"The Way of Balance, not bad, not bad, disciple. If you encounter that old man again, you should exchange ideas with him. Don't waste your talent."

Laozi stroked his beard, looking pleased. Clearly, his disciple's talent was shining brightly and attracting attention, even elsewhere.

In this vast world, it would be difficult to find someone with a greater talent in this area than Bai Zhi.

Based on his observation of the yin and yang energy in Bai Zhi's body, he believed that the other party was qualified to teach Bai Zhi.

He wasn't the type to object to others communicating with his beloved apprentice; on the contrary, he was very supportive if it was beneficial.

Of course, the way of yin and yang in balance is the best. When this way is perfected, it is integrated into the universe and is everywhere. As for learning the way of Buddha or enlightened beings, although it may be beneficial, he still thinks it is a minor way.

The most important thing, of course, is that the mischievous monkey should stop bothering his precious disciple.

"Master, I've recently developed a strong interest in alchemy again. Would you like to teach me more?"

"Hehe, alright, if you're willing to learn, I'm naturally willing to teach you."

The old man was chuckling, just about to gather his thoughts and start teaching Bai Zhi, when he heard a shout from outside.

"Little White, Little White, are you there?"

Instantly, the old man's smiling face turned gloomy.

His precious disciple had finally taken the initiative to ask to learn, and this rascal had to come at this exact moment, it was as if he was deliberately trying to go against him.

"Well, Master, these eighty-one tribulations are actually coming soon, there's no need to rush."

Bai Zhi glanced cautiously at the old man's expression and comforted him in a sweet voice.

"You, although I don't know which of the three thousand worlds you come from, I know that you can't stay in this world forever. Time is precious, don't waste it on such things..."

Finding a perfect apprentice is a blessing for someone with extraordinary abilities, but sadly, a perfect apprentice doesn't seem to belong to just one person.

Therefore, making the most of the time to let this precious apprentice learn is a very important wish.

Otherwise, if this disciple doesn't have much time to come back in the future, who will inherit his skills?

"Master~"

Bai Zhi tugged at the old man's sleeve. "Don't worry, how could I just abandon you like this? No matter how busy I am, I will come back to find you."

Bai Zhi tugged at his clothes and said those sweet words, and the old man immediately pouted.

The Supreme Being could only shake his head helplessly. "Very well, since you want to, go help that monkey. But after you're done, come back and study."

"The art of alchemy is profound and extensive. Although you have exceptional talent, there is still much for you to learn. The reason you were able to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is because you inherently possess the properties of immortal gold."

"But this is something you inherently possess, not something you understand. My disciple, if you wish to go further, you will need long-term experience and understanding."

Chapter 934 Bai Zhi's hands were itching unbearably.

"Monkey, you're in luck."

As they left the Tushita Palace, Bai Zhi patted the monkey on the shoulder.

monkey:?

He scratched his head, somewhat puzzled by Bai Zhi's words, wondering how he could be so lucky again.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Bai Zhi crossed her arms. Every time this guy came to see her, it was because he had encountered some monster he couldn't handle.

"Hehe, Xiaobai understands me best. Actually, I encountered a monster with a thousand eyes all over its body. Although I couldn't beat that monster in close combat, those eyes were really powerful. My eyes hurt as soon as I touched them, and I couldn't fight that monster at all."

"That monk and the idiot also drank that monster's stuff, and now they're in pain all over. Later, I met a Bodhisattva, who said I could find the Rabbit Star Lord. I thought I might as well find you, Little White, and you can also cure the monk and the idiot's poison at the same time."

The monkey chuckled and explained the whole story in detail.

"Oh, that guy."

Bai Zhi immediately realized that this was the centipede demon from the original story.

This guy isn't particularly skilled; he was basically beaten up by the monkeys. But he does have some supernatural abilities; even the monkeys couldn't stop the eyes on his body.

"Hey you, can't you use your wits when fighting these guys? Why do you have to fight them head-on?"

The monkey's stats are pretty strong; it's incredibly powerful in melee combat and has few rivals in physical resistance, but its magic resistance is quite poor.

"Little White, you know, this is my style. Fighting with magic is too boring."

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes at him. "Should I say you're still a monkey at heart, or that you're good with your hands?"

The monkey just laughed and didn't say anything.

"Alright, alright, I'll go with you..."

Speaking of this, Bai Zhi suddenly remembered something else. It seems that in the original story, after surviving the tribulation of the centipede demon, they would encounter the three monsters of Lion Camel Ridge.

Thinking of the descriptions of the three strange creatures in the original work, Bai Zhi suddenly felt a little itchy to do something.

After Lion Camel Ridge was occupied by the Three Monsters, it became a living hell. The original text mentions that the people within hundreds of miles of Lion Camel Ridge were all eaten by them, and the people of Lion Camel Kingdom were not spared either. The entire country was ruled by the Three Monsters, and there were scenes of cannibalism everywhere. The corpses were piled up like mountains, and the cruelty was appalling.

The three monsters used a variety of cruel methods to eat people. For example, they would skin and pull out tendons while people were still alive, or chop people into mincemeat, or even steam people in a steamer to eat them.

These three monsters not only indulge in cannibalism, but also enjoy torturing their victims. They tease and torture humans before eating them for amusement.

It is a pure evil demon.

It would be such a disservice to the dead and injured people if such a thing were eventually taken away by a few Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

It's better to just kill this kind of guy; it might even be a great act of merit.

After carefully comparing her own combat strength, Bai Zhi felt that apart from the Golden-Winged Roc, which might be difficult to deal with due to its speed, the Green Lion Spirit and the White Elephant Spirit were not a concern, and killing them would not be too difficult.

Although the Green Lion Spirit, as Manjushri Bodhisattva's mount, claimed to be a great demon capable of swallowing 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals in one gulp after transforming into a Dharma body, and had even fought against heavenly soldiers and generals at the South Heavenly Gate, the heavenly soldiers and generals were indeed of limited combat power and were merely there to make up the numbers.

The white elephant spirit is the mount of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra. Its greatest ability is to use its flexible trunk to wrap around people, making it difficult for them to break free. There's not much to say about that; it's just a common sight on the roadside.

As for whether killing Buddha's uncle, the Golden-Winged Roc, would cause any trouble, she's not without powerful backers and isn't afraid at all.

"noob?"

The monkey looked at Bai Zhi with some confusion, because it was the first time he had seen Bai Zhi display such obvious killing intent.

Did that centipede demon break some heavenly law, that Xiaobai cares about it so much?

"Hmm, it's okay~"

Bai Zhi turned her head and gave the monkey a kind smile.

"Let's go, it's been a long time since we've seen Elder Tang."

The monkey scratched its face, but didn't dare ask any more questions. It could only pray in its heart that the centipede demon wouldn't die too miserably later.

After flying for a while, the two arrived near the centipede demon's cave and also found Pigsy and Tang Sanzang lying on the ground.

"Ah, True Lord Baizhi, you have arrived."

Sha Wujing, the only one who hadn't drunk the poison, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Zhi and the monkey arrive together.

With Bai Zhi's arrival, the blue sky appeared; all demons and monsters were but minor problems in her presence.

"Ouch, stop being so polite with the True Lord here, my master and I are in excruciating pain!!"

Pigsy was there, clutching his stomach and rolling around incessantly.

"Ah, yes, yes, True Lord, thank you for your trouble."

Sha Wujing then realized what was happening and quickly said...

"Hehe, alright then."

Bai Zhi waved her hand gently, and the power of the horse talisman seeped into their bodies, easily eliminating the toxins.

"call……"

After the toxins were eliminated, Tang Sanzang, who had been in so much pain that he couldn't utter a word, finally breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with difficulty, and respectfully bowed to Bai Zhi.

"Thank you for your help, True Lord. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"You monk, you must have disobeyed the monkey again, otherwise it's impossible that he wasn't poisoned but you two were."

Bai Zhi said irritably.

It's really hard for her to judge this monk. Others would learn their lesson after experiencing such a life-or-death situation once, but this guy never misses a chance and completely ignores her warnings.

It doesn't feel as good as... the real Xuanzang from history.

That was a truly formidable person, who walked from the Tang Dynasty to India on foot.

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's question, Tang Seng's originally pale face instantly turned bright red, and he stammered, unsure of how to explain.

Although the Monkey King is the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, he is still his disciple, so it's normal for him not to listen to him.

But Bai Zhi's status was higher to him, and his refusal to listen made him seem rather ungrateful.

"Alright, alright, that's enough. I don't want to say anything more to you. You're not a child anymore, and you probably can't change these habits."

Bai Zhi shook her head. It is very difficult to change the mindset of an adult, let alone someone as determined as Tang Seng in a certain sense.

Moreover, she suspected that Tang Sanzang had a rebellious mentality and couldn't stand the fact that someone as capable as the monkey was making suggestions, even though the monkey was nominally his subordinate.

"My Lord, please don't blame your master. That demon was disguised so well that your master had no choice but to drink the tea it offered due to etiquette and the demon's hospitality."

Sha Wujing stepped forward and spoke up for Tang Sanzang.

"Since that's the case, let's not waste any more time and go deal with that monster now."

Chapter 935 Bai Zhi: I Don't Eat Human Flesh

"Senior brother, that monkey escaped. What if he goes to the Heavenly Court to ask for reinforcements?"

Inside the Yellow Flower Temple, several spider demons sat beside the centipede demon, their faces filled with worry. "We've heard that that monkey is not only incredibly powerful, but also has a lot of connections. What if he finds a formidable opponent? How will we possibly fight him?"

"Yes, yes, we've heard that the monkey is a close friend of the Heavenly Abundance and Vastness True Lord. Even the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King, avoids that True Lord's fame. If we were to invite her, what should we do?"

"Hey, junior sisters, don't be in a hurry."

The centipede demon waved his hand, "Your senior brother has cultivated in this Yellow Flower Temple for many years and worships the Three Pure Ones. I am, after all, a member of the Xuanmen. Even if that True Lord comes, we can sit down and have a chat."

"Besides... that Tang Monk's flesh is so precious, I'm afraid that True Lord might also have some designs on it."

The centipede demon licked its lips. It was rumored that eating Tang Sanzang's flesh would grant immortality. Such temptation must be something that many gods in heaven would want to take a bite of.

Otherwise, why would there be so many rumors that the mounts of the gods in heaven all descended to earth, wanting a piece of the monk's flesh?

It must have been incredibly precious that the monk's flesh was.

It might even be more potent than the peaches of immortality eaten by the gods.

"This... that True Lord is known for his virtue, he shouldn't be interested in human flesh, right?"

The spider demon looked hesitant.

"Hehe, fellow junior sisters, you all think too highly of the immortals. It's said that immortals are pure and detached from worldly desires, but that's not entirely true. Otherwise, why would so many of them yearn for the mortal world and descend to the mortal realm, violating the heavenly rules?"

"If one were devoid of emotions and desires, what difference would there be between a god and a stone?"

"At worst, if that person really comes, I'll divide the Tang Monk's flesh into three parts and seven parts."

"Why is it only 70%?"

The spider demon couldn't help but ask.

"Seventy percent? Seventy percent still belongs to others. Hey, we wild monsters from the mountains are lucky to get even thirty percent."

The centipede demon pouted in dissatisfaction.

"What if that person disagrees? Senior brother, do you have a solution?"

At this point, the centipede demon revealed a proud expression, "My fellow disciples, do you know which place is to the west of my Yellow Flower Temple, and who lives there?"

The spider demon initially seemed puzzled, but after careful consideration, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise. "Could it be that Senior Brother is referring to the three kings of Lion Camel Ridge?"

"I've heard that those three kings are of extraordinary birth and possess unparalleled combat prowess. Could it be that you, senior brother, are acquainted with those three kings?"

"Haha."

The centipede demon laughed three times, "That's right, I have some connections with those three kings, and I know some inside information. That Golden-Winged Roc, in a way, is even Buddha's uncle."
