Chapter 105 The Stubbornness of a Lonely Old Man
The Endless Mountains today.
The roars of the monsters continued.
An unprecedented fragrance wafted throughout the entire mountainside.
This was a scent that these monsters had never smelled before.
In the past, the aroma of food could only be smelled around noon, but today the fragrance lingered for a long time.
Even when the Golden Crow tried to suppress them with the force of thunder, it was to no avail.
On the contrary, Su Bai appeared extremely generous.
In his view, he was also a being of this world, and since there were benefits, there was nothing wrong with everyone sharing them.
As the saying goes, they share the good times, but bear the bad times themselves.
Looking at the demonic beasts gathered at the foot of the mountain, Su Bai generously threw out hundreds of them.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of fish in the yard had disappeared.
Next, Su Bai selected dozens more of the finest fish and then looked at the old Taoist priest: "Master, I'd like to give some to some of our elders, what do you think..."
The old Taoist priest didn't speak, but focused on eating the cooked fish that was already on the table.
Seeing that the old Taoist priest remained silent, Su Bai took it as a tacit agreement.
Then, with a gentle flick of its paw, half of the fish in the yard disappeared.
Just after Su Bai put away the fish, his figure disappeared from the courtyard in an instant.
……
At this moment, outside the Immortal Gate.
Just a second ago, Su Bai remembered that he was still in the Taoist temple.
But the next second, he had already arrived at the gate of the immortal sect.
Unlike his last visit, Su Bai's appearance at the mountain gate immediately caused a flurry of sword light to erupt within the gate.
Immediately above the immortal gate, countless disciples of the immortal sect formed a massive procession.
At the same time, everyone bowed deeply to Su Bai and said, "We, the disciples of the immortal sect, pay our respects to Ancestor Cat!"
The enormous sound almost scared Su Bai so much that he jumped off the cliff.
I remember the last time I came here, these disciples of the immortal sects weren't like this.
At that time, when Yu Qiushui brought him to this place, these people were all eager to fight and kill.
If it weren't for Yuanshi's intervention, he might have really perished here.
However, the change in attitude of these immortal sect disciples upon their arrival left Su Bai somewhat bewildered.
Just as he was wondering, a white figure flew towards Su Bai's direction from within the immortal sect.
"Senior brother, it's been a while, you've gained quite a bit of weight."
"Greetings, Ancestor of the Immortal Sect!"
Ancestor of the Immortal Sect?
Su Bai looked at the young man flying towards him, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
But looking at his attire, I couldn't help but think of the image of the White Crane Boy.
Su Bai stepped forward and tentatively asked, "Are you the White Crane Boy?"
The White Crane Boy smiled and nodded, then sheathed his flying sword, landed in front of Su Bai, gently picked him up, and nodded and smiled, "It is indeed me. Master foresaw your return today, so he had me wait here. I never expected that Senior Brother would actually come."
Su Bai pursed his lips, his eyes rolling upwards repeatedly.
Does this even need to be calculated?
I had just finished catching the fish and was distracted for a moment when they pulled me right here. Is this what you call being able to predict the future?
I can do it!
White Crane Boy clearly had no idea what had happened.
He walked straight towards Su Bai, then reached out and gently picked him up. He then lowered his head and whispered, "Senior brother, there are too many people here, so it's inconvenient to transform into my original form to take you into the Lord's Heavenly Palace. Please forgive me."
Su Bai could naturally understand Bai He Tong Zi's concerns.
When I came here with Yu Qiushui last time, these people saw Su Bai and wished they could devour him alive, which shows how much they hated demons.
If they knew that their ancestor's true form was a white crane, wouldn't they go crazy?
As the white crane carried Su Bai upwards into the clouds, the disciples of the Immortal Sect below shouted in unison, "Congratulations on your ascension, Ancestor!"
Su Bai's lips twitched slightly as he looked up at the White Crane Boy: "Don't you think there's something a little off about what you're saying?"
White Crane Boy didn't think much of it, mainly because he was already used to it.
When he first became the patriarch of the Immortal Sect, his disciples would shout this phrase every time he went to the palace of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
At first, it was indeed a little unusual; it sounded like a curse.
But over time, the white cranes stopped taking it seriously.
"You'll get used to it after hearing it a couple of times. After all, the creatures here will eventually turn into dust. There's no need to be dissatisfied over something like this."
Su Bai was taken aback.
What does it mean to turn into a handful of dust?
Perhaps realizing he had misspoke, Bai He's expression changed slightly, but he quickly smiled and said, "These disciples of the immortal sects, although they have entered the immortal sect, very few of them can become immortals. If they cannot become immortals, then one day their lifespan will come to an end, and all their years of cultivation will be in vain, and they will eventually vanish into thin air."
Su Bai glanced at the white crane with a slight hint of doubt.
He felt that Baihe didn't mean it that way, but looking at Baihe's calm face, he didn't think she was lying.
He felt that Baihe didn't mean it that way, but looking at Baihe's calm face, he didn't think she was lying.
Su Bai gently shook his head, then grabbed a large fish from his small sword and said, "I caught this in the East Sea outside. Everyone gets a share, here's one for you."
In fact, white cranes are quite picky when it comes to fish.
He wouldn't even consider a fish that isn't top-quality.
But the fish that Su Bai gave him was different from others.
Its surface shimmers with golden light, and whiskers have even grown from the corners of its mouth. If it can cross the Dragon Gate, it will surely transform into a dragon.
Unfortunately, it ended up in the hands of this little cat senior brother.
Bai He looked at the big fish that Su Bai took out of the small sword, his eyes filled with joy.
Cranes love to eat fish; it's in their nature.
Eating good fish is something to strive for.
Bai He did not refuse. He took the fish, put it in his pouch, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Senior Brother. If you encounter any difficulties in the outside world in the future, you can go to Yuqing Realm. There is an avatar of mine there. As long as you don't cause any major trouble, I will definitely lend a helping hand."
It wouldn't be so bad as to cause a major upheaval, but it's hard to say either.
……
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Jade Palace, the White Crane Boy bowed to Su Bai, then transformed into his original form, carrying a fish in his mouth as he flew away.
Su Bai then walked straight into the hall.
Just like the last time I came, there haven't been any major changes.
The only thing missing was the halo of merit behind the head of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, who sat high above in the main hall.
Su Bai quickly jumped up the steps, walked around the couch a few times, then jumped onto the couch again and peeked behind Yuanshi Tianzun.
He always thought that once this halo of merit was embedded in the back of his head, it could never be turned off.
Yuan Shi glanced at Su Bai beside him, and after a long while, said in a detached tone, "What do you want with me?"
Hearing this, Su Bai smiled.
I'm looking for you?
Didn't you drag me here?
