Chapter 201 Attitude Change
Ling Yunxiao went to Kunlun Mountain with Yuanshi Tianzun and was placed in a spacious palace.
"Heavenly Venerable, is this the place where Jialan once cultivated and grew up?"
"You know Jialan? Oh right, you came back from the future. Yes, Jialan was originally a maid of the Queen Mother of the West, and she left from here back then."
"Due to some special reasons, there are two Eternal Immortality Pills, right? Give them both to me! I'll consider it as me taking the one that Jialan takes. Don't worry, this won't be included in today's consultation fee; it will be charged later."
"Tell me who you originally intended to use this pill on, and I'll create a separate Book of Life and Death for them, allowing them to decide their fate and treatment. The effect will be essentially the same as if they took the other two pills. If you're still not satisfied, I can create two more books for you, okay? Anyone, from heaven to earth, will do. Just bring those two people to me."
Sitting in the main hall, Ling Yunxiao suddenly thought of Lin Qiye. Rather than let him suffer and lose his beloved, it would be better to resolve this matter in advance, so that Jialan wouldn't die later when he was too busy to take care of her.
"Uh...this elixir comes from the palace of the Queen Mother of the West, and Jialan is also a maid of the Queen Mother of the West. This humble Taoist priest cannot make the decision!"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable looked troubled and hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
Ling Yunxiao sneered, raised an eyebrow, and looked up towards Yaochi.
“That’s easy. Since you can’t be the king, just pretend I didn’t say anything. I’ll go and make a deal with the Queen Mother of the West. As for the ten people we agreed to restore at the beginning, I’m not feeling well right now, and my mood isn’t great either. Let’s restore five for now! We can talk about the remaining five in a few years.”
As Ling Yunxiao was about to get up, Yuanshi Tianzun sighed and blocked his way.
"Young friend, please don't get agitated. I only said it's not possible to follow the master's advice, not that it's completely impossible, right? You can rest here for a while, and I'll go and discuss it with the Queen Mother of the West." After saying this, Yuanshi Tianzun, fearing that Ling Yunxiao might bring up something else, turned around and disappeared from the spot.
Ling Yunxiao frowned. He was willing to make selfless contributions to the human race, but to really consider himself a great traitor was a bit too much.
Inside the main hall of Kunlun Ruins, the Queen Mother of the West and the King of Heaven stood silently, their eyes narrowed and their noses twitching. The Celestial Venerable of Morality had already begun to laugh, and upon seeing the Celestial Venerable of Primordial Beginning enter, his laughter grew even louder.
"Do you really think they're some foolish son of a landlord? You were busy building a sheep farm, and now you've been kicked out?"
If you ask me, this man is wholeheartedly devoted to humanity and the Great Xia Dynasty. You should have just agreed. Why did you have to try and take something from him? At your age, you've lost all sense of shame.
"That elixir was forged by me and kept by the Queen Mother of the West. Even if I didn't have the power to decide life and death, it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider it payment for such hard work. If I had known who that elixir was meant for, it wouldn't have remained until now. Why are you doing this?"
The Moral Celestial Venerable, with his kind and benevolent old appearance, looked at the Primordial Celestial Venerable with a cheerful smile.
"Sniff... Who is this for? And you're still laughing? I have not a single selfish motive for myself. The Heavenly Court is in dire need of rebuilding, talent is scarce, and the God Realm is shattered. He has returned from the future with such abilities, and naturally, I am somewhat tempted."
"Alas...is it that this humble Taoist priest is unwilling to be generous?"
“Great Celestial Venerable, actually, you’ve overlooked something. We’ve always considered ourselves the guardians of Great Xia, so we naturally assume that we should receive more resources in order to save more people.”
However, you forgot one thing.
Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian, having returned from the future, possess such strength that even if they faced you, it wouldn't be entirely without a chance of victory. Moreover, Ling Yunxiao mentioned someone else; although that person hasn't appeared yet, since Ling Yunxiao brought them up, they will likely appear soon.
Although Ling Yunxiao did not mention the Heavenly Court, that person's strength was so great that he could single-handedly crush two divine kingdoms, Asgard and Olympus. Our Heavenly Court would probably not be his match.
What we need to do now is not to follow our original mindset of consolidating the Heavenly Court and protecting the Great Xia. This kind of thinking will most likely lead to defeat, because that's what we've always done.
It's time for a real change. Since the future is in their hands, we should fully support the three of them.
I happen to have three peaches in my private treasury; I might as well give them to him as compensation. Besides, saving people requires energy, and since we're not of much use to him, we'll just restore the five guards responsible for rebuilding the Heavenly Court.”
"However, as for the so-called Eternal Immortality Pill, we should just give it to him. Jialan was innocent back then, and there's no need for us to be aggressive. I also have three Nine-Turn Golden Pills here; I'll give those away as well."
Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent for a long time before letting out a soft sigh.
"Very well! I misunderstood. I will explain it to him."
"Heavenly Venerable One, I'll go!"
The Jade Emperor stood up and looked at the Queen Mother of the West and the Moral Celestial Venerable. They had indeed done good things, but the Primordial Celestial Venerable was wholeheartedly devoted to the Heavenly Court and the Great Xia Dynasty. What wrong had he done?
"Jade Emperor, you may rest for now. This matter arose because of me, so it is naturally my responsibility to resolve it."
Yuanshi Tianzun said with a smile, "I still have that much responsibility."
Ling Yunxiao was sitting in the empty palace in a daze, thinking that Yuanshi Tianzun was not plotting for him. He was a selfless god, and he might have gone a bit too far just now.
Just as Ling Yunxiao was about to get up and go out to tell Yuanshi Tianzun that he had agreed to be blackmailed, the door of the main hall opened.
"Young friend Yunxiao, I was mistaken before, and I apologize to you. The Heavenly Court should prioritize your interests now; we old bones should not compete with you for benefits."
Here are three peaches of immortality and three Nine-Turn Golden Pills. Please keep them. The Queen Mother of the West has already given orders to collect the Jade Pool Dew. A batch of Jade Pool Dew will be brewed and sent to you in a few days.
We've discussed it, and restoring five people will speed up the reconstruction of the Heavenly Court of the Great Xia Divine Kingdom.
As for those two pills, this is the Eternal Pill, and this is the Purple Pearl. When you see Jialan, give her the Purple Pearl, and she will naturally understand the Queen Mother's meaning and realize that you did all this for her today.
"Thank you, Heavenly Lord."
For a moment, Ling Yunxiao was somewhat flattered.
“Celestial Venerable, by the way, there is one more thing. The reincarnation of the Treasure Celestial Venerable will take a long time to recover, but he must recover in this life. Since he is destined to lose his power and is destined to awaken, should I let him wake up now so that he can suffer less?”
“Young friend, you are very kind. As for whether he should come back, you should ask him yourself. I cannot make that decision for him.”
After speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun handed a pile of items to Ling Yunxiao, and then introduced him to the Five Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court. Of course, Houtu was absent, but Houyi filled in for her.
It's a four-character phrase. After Ling Yunxiao helped the five regain their strength from their previous lives and even reach a higher level, he casually gave the Queen Mother of the West the Healing Technique before bidding farewell to the gods of Kunlun Ruins.
