In the Heavenly Court, within the sleeping quarters of the Jade Emperor, though he is the sovereign of the Three Realms, as the Great Jade Emperor, he surely cannot be attending to affairs in the Lingxiao Hall without any rest, right?
On this day, after the Jade Emperor had dealt with his official duties, he suddenly felt a craving for alcohol. Therefore, he ordered soone to fetch a flask of the Jadescent Nectar from the wine pool.
However, after waiting for a mont, the Divine Power Warriors tasked with fetching the wine did arrive, but they did not bring the wine.
These Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors looked greatly wronged as they knelt before the Jade Emperor, crying out loudly, "Reporting to the Jade Emperor, the Imperial Wine, the Imperial Wine has been stolen!"
"Oh? Who did it? Who dares to steal the Imperial Wine!?" Hearing this, the Jade Emperor's expression remained calm, as he asked leisurely.
Although the Imperial Wine had been stolen, the Jade Emperor was a bit displeased, but after all, it was just so alcohol.
Moreover, the Jade Emperor was very clear that whoever dared to steal his Imperial Wine was not soone ordinary from the Immortal Clan.
"Reporting to the Jade Emperor, it was, it was the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong!" Upon the Jade Emperor's inquiry, the few Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors answered.
"That rascal monkey!?" On hearing this, the Jade Emperor's brow furrowed slightly.
Five hundred years have passed, could that rascal monkey still be so lawless? He even dared to seize his Imperial Wine?
Although it was just so alcohol, after all, it concerned his own dignity. A severe punishnt was naturally impossible, but if he did not punish him, how could he, as the master of the Three Realms, save face?
After thinking for a mont, just as the Jade Emperor was about to speak on how to punish Sun Wukong, suddenly, his heart stirred and he looked into the distance.
His gaze seed to traverse the boundaries of ti and space, and soon after, the corners of the Jade Emperor's mouth lifted slightly, as if he had seen sothing amusing.
Seeing the Jade Emperor's deanor, the few Immortal Maidens and Divine Power Warriors kneeling below naturally did not dare to speak and interrupt. Then the Jade Emperor even waved his hand, indicating that they could leave for now.
"Interesting, he really is a rascal monkey indeed, not only did he steal and drink the Imperial Wine himself, he even led his master astray..." The Jade Emperor's gaze seed to fully see the events unfolding at Doushuai Palace, his face filled with an amused expression, whispering quietly.
Doushuai Palace is the Taoist Arena of the Supre Elder Lord, usually secluded from all Divine Sense probes.
But today, the Supre Elder Lord has taken the initiative to remove these barriers, and even used Divine Sense to seek out the Tathagata from the Great Thunder Monastery. Naturally, the Jade Emperor was aware of it.
Then with a gentle sweep of Divine Sense, the Jade Emperor understood what had happened.
Turns out Sun Wukong had stolen the Imperial Wine, and even got Xuanzang drunk, to the point that Xuanzang, in his drunkenness, actually stole and consud the Immortal Pills from the Supre Elder Lord's Doushuai Palace?
Yes, in the Jade Emperor's view, Xuanzang must have been led astray by Sun Wukong.
The very core of the Scripture Seeking, the second disciple of the Tathagata, look at what he has beco now.
Drinking alcohol, eating at, gambling!
Without missing a beat!
Is this still the Holy Monk?
Not only was he himself drinking alcohol, eating at, and gambling, but even Wuzhuang Temple was affected.
In these days, Wuzhuang Temple has almost beco like the Wuzhuang Mahjong Parlor, naturally catching the attention of many bigwigs.
...
We'll set aside for now what kind of a spectator's ntality the Jade Emperor had. At this ti, the Tathagata of the Great Thunder Monastery showed a face full of distress.
There was no helping it, the Supre Elder Lord had co to hold them accountable.
Xuanzang and Sun Wukong, now they both belonged to the Buddhist Sect, and then, they got drunk at Doushuai Palace, and even Xuanzang had actually eaten Immortal Pills in the Supre Elder Lord's palace, which made the Tathagata feel troubled.
Xuanzang and Wukong, these two disciples, had neither been left behind nor had they both stolen the Immortal Pills!?
"Amitabha, Supre Elder Lord, may I ask, how many Immortal Pills did Xuanzang steal in your Doushuai Palace!?" With a distressed look, the Tathagata's Divine Sense probed towards the Supre Elder Lord.
Helplessly, Xuanzang's troubles had co down, and he could only cover up a bit for him, but before that, it was still necessary to figure out the extent of Doushuai Palace's losses first, right?
"I have just carefully checked the Elixir Storage Chamber; thirteen Detoxification Pills have been lost, three Soul-Returning Pills, and one most precious Demon Emperor Pill!" Upon hearing the Tathagata's inquiry, the Supre Elder Lord responded.
Although he only saw the porcelain bottles and gourds on the ground, the Supre Elder Lord naturally counted the specific losses in the Elixir Storage Chamber as well.
"This..." The Tathagata, who had a look of distress, turned even darker upon hearing about these losses.
"Pfft, hahaha..." On the other side, within the sleeping quarters of the Jade Emperor, upon hearing the Supre Elder Lord's report of losses, the Great Jade Emperor suddenly couldn't hold back and burst out laughing as if he had heard the funniest joke.
"The Detoxification Pill, that is used for detoxification; there is also the Soul-Returning Pill, which is used after a person has died; though the Demon Emperor Pill is precious, it's ant for Demons, and all three types of pills are useless to Xuanzang. He, he actually stole and ate these pills while drunk? Hahaha..." The Great Jade Emperor felt very amused and cheerful.
If Sun Wukong had been like before, consuming many pills that elevate aptitude and cultivation level, that would be one thing, despite the cri, but he would at least gain so benefits.
But what about Xuanzang? He committed a cri, even personally caught red-handed by the Supre Elder Lord, but unfortunately, the pills he consud were useless, not providing him with a single benefit?
Tathagata's mood, as one can imagine, was not pleasant.
Supre Elder Lord had co to seek redress, and compensation was inevitable, yet, regrettably, the items Xuanzang consud had been of no use whatsoever!
If Xuanzang had taken sothing like Golden Cores or Immortal Pills that could enhance one's aptitude and cultivation level, perhaps one could suspect it was done on purpose.
However, once the news of these losses reached the Jade Emperor, the Tathagata, or even the Supre Elder Lord, all of them believed that Xuanzang was certainly not acting intentionally; he truly did those things unconsciously after getting drunk.
The Supre Elder Lord not only took stock of the losses in his Elixir Storage Chamber but even used his Divine Sense to scan Jiang Liu, confirming that he indeed had not hidden any elixirs on his person.
It was clear that he had consud them all at once, so nothing more was suspected...
What deal Tathagata and Supre Elder Lord finally made over the theft of the Immortal Pills and what consensus they reached was, naturally, unknown to Jiang Liu.
Under the power of the Supre Elder Lord, Jiang Liu had no capacity to resist and fell directly into a deep sleep.
When Jiang Liu awoke from his slumber, he found himself in the midst of a desolate mountain range.
It wasn't just him; next to him, Sun Wukong was still sleeping heavily, his face reeking of alcohol.
"Where am I!? Wasn't I in Doushuai Palace? Could it be? Has Supre Elder Lord thrown out directly!?" After observing his surroundings, Jiang Liu's consciousness gradually sharpened, rembering how he was caught red-handed in Doushuai Palace by the Supre Elder Lord.
Thinking of how quickly the Supre Elder Lord had returned, Jiang Liu felt so regret.
If he had known earlier, why would he have been so picky? He should have just buried his head and poured all the elixirs into his bag space, right?
Regardless, his trip to the Heavenly Court was fruitful, after all.
First was the Jadescent Nectar; with over half a jar left, if he drank a small sip every day, it should last about one or two months, right?
A jar of Jadescent Nectar could bring him an increase of 20 million experience points; over half a jar ant over 10 million—an appreciable gain since it also has the ability to improve one's physique.
Secondly, the selective items taken from the Doushuai Palace also proved beneficial.
Detoxification Pills and Soul-Returning Pills could have a significant impact at the right mont.
Of course, there was also the last pill that looked extrely precious; could it be a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill?
Thinking of the last pill he had thrown into his bag space without checking its attributes, Jiang Liu's heart filled with anticipation and curiosity. He silently invoked: Bag Space.
The semi-transparent bag space appeared before Jiang Liu, and naturally, his gaze was drawn to the last pill that radiated a purple glow. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
Without even holding it, just by looking at the pill inside the bag space, the corresponding attribute information appeared before Jiang Liu.
Demon Emperor Pill (Consumable): After ingesting this pill, a demon kind's bloodline aptitude can be elevated by one tier, 100% success rate for White Quality, 50% for Blue Quality, and 25% for Golden Quality, Note: for the use of the Demon Clan only.
Observing the properties of the Demon Emperor Pill, Jiang Liu's expression darkened—so it wasn't a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill? He naturally felt disappointed.
Yet, upon closely examining the effects of the Demon Emperor Pill, Jiang Liu had to admit that this pill had significant influence; it could enhance a demon creature's bloodline aptitude?
aning, an ordinary demon kind with White Quality could be elevated to Blue Quality upon consuming this pill.
And for those with Blue Quality, consuming it would offer a fifty-fifty chance of ascending to Golden Quality?
As for those already at Golden Quality, could they still advance?
Firstly, Jiang Liu marvelled that there were levels beyond Golden Quality.
Secondly, the re 25% probability seed far too low.
Although it did not directly increase strength, this pill was indeed a priceless treasure for the Demon Clan. Perhaps, its greatest value lay precisely in the ager 25% chance of advancing Golden Quality.
Buzz!
Setting aside Jiang Liu's thoughts as he looked at the Demon Emperor Pill, suddenly, he noticed the golden environnt around him changing, and imdiately, a Golden Tathagata Statue appeared before him.
"Amitabha, Xuanzang..." the statue of Tathagata, looking down upon Jiang Liu, began to speak.
A Demon Emperor Pill, a supre treasure of the Supre Elder Lord, just devoured like that, was truly a waste.
For this one pill, he had paid a great price. Tathagata felt that he should admonish Xuanzang, to alleviate the troubles he might cause.
"Disciple Xuanzang, pays respect to Buddha!" Seeing Tathagata appearing before him, Jiang Liu was startled, and then he chuckled inwardly.
He understood that it must be the effect of the Demon Emperor Pill; Buddha had paid a significant price and couldn't help but co forward to scold him a bit, right?
However, after paying respects to Tathagata, Jiang Liu spoke with an excited deanor, "Buddha, do you see that your disciple's Journey to the West is long and arduous, so you have taken the initiative to bring the True Scriptures to ? You've co all this way, surely you haven't forgotten to bring the True Scriptures along, have you?"
Tathagata: "..."
