Because Sun Kong's methods this time not only included conventional self-sabotage but also feigned weakness, acting, and riddles.
Therefore, the rewards sent were quite special.
It was a reward for a high-level shock!
[Ding! Host has integrated conventional self-sabotage techniques with advanced self-sabotage techniques. For the first time, he has caused a high-level shock to Saint Yuqing, Primordial Heavenly Venerable, making him both hate and fear the host.]
[From this point onwards, Primordial Heavenly Venerable has instructed the Eight Golden Immortals of Chan Sect and their disciples of the third generation not to show any disrespect to the host or those around him.]
[Hereby, the reward for the first high-level shock is issued, specifically as follows.]
[Reward: A one-time Enhancement Talisman, which can increase the effect of the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, temporarily lent by Primordial Heavenly Venerable, by 50%.]
[After this recovery, there is a 10% chance that the host's second brother, Wu Zhiqi, will break through his limitations and reach the early stage of Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal.]
[Even if the breakthrough fails, it can increase his magic power by 50% compared to cultivators of the same level.]
[Note: The effect of this Enhancement Talisman can only be used on one target at a time, and the effect is not stackable. The host should use it with caution.]
Upon hearing the system's words, Sun Kong did not feel displeased that this reward was not for him but for his second brother, Wu Zhiqi.
Instead, he finally let out a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.
After all, it had always been awkward to continuously enhance his own strength without any improvement for his second brother Wu Zhiqi and third brother Zhou Wuxian.
Moreover, Wu Zhiqi's current predicament was due to his own negligence in management, which led to him being ambushed by the New Six-Eared Macaque.
He bore half the responsibility for this mistake.
It was imperative to make amends to Wu Zhiqi.
Therefore,
This one-time Enhancement Talisman would be most suitable for Wu Zhiqi!
"General Ba?"
"Here!"
"Quickly urge those monkeys to hurry up and bring my second brother here. Why is it taking so long?"
"The Chan Sect has already dispatched Little Zha Zha to find General Juan Lian. This matter is almost done, yet the Second Great King is not here. Are you trying to covet the spiritual treasure of Saint Yuqing?"
"Are you trying to disgrace me?"
Sun Kong's roar, on one hand, was a genuine expression of dissatisfaction with the low efficiency of his subordinates. If he didn't scold them, their speed wouldn't improve.
On the other hand, it was also because after Nezha was dispatched, Guang Chengzi and Taiyi Zhenren kept their eyes fixed on the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand.
Their gazes were incredibly telling.
Even though they didn't explicitly say "use it quickly and return it," they clearly implied that he shouldn't try to hoard it.
But who was Sun Kong?
The foremost self-sabotaging, master of feigned weakness and crying, and cunning monkey demon with acting skills comparable to a film emperor in the Three Realms of the Great Desolation. Naturally, he had long understood their intentions.
As for himself, although he was greedy for the spiritual treasures of the various Saints, he was not so blinded by greed as to dare to covet the treasure in such a situation.
Thus,
Before the two Golden Immortals of Chan Sect could give any explicit or implicit hints, after Sun Kong's furious scolding, General Ba immediately scurried off to urge them.
Indeed.
With the urging from Sun Kong, the Great King of the New Flower Fruit Mountain, things were different.
Before long,
General Ba was seen carrying his second brother Wu Zhiqi on his back, with four ever-ready monkey subordinates following behind, and they rushed over.
"Great King, the Second Great King has arrived!"
After setting down the weakened Wu Zhiqi, General Ba tactfully retreated to the side, continuing to offer fruits to appease Guang Chengzi and Taiyi Zhenren, these two impatient Golden Immortals.
Even though these two Golden Immortals were gradually becoming restless, under the nourishment of the spiritual water and fruits of the New Flower Fruit Mountain, they could still manage to endure for a while.
Seeing this,
General Ba knew he had done the right thing and would surely receive a reward from his Great King later.
On the surface, however, he remained composed.
He retreated slightly,
Leaving the next steps to Sun Kong!
"No problem."
"Second brother, how have you been feeling recently? Have you already sensed my care for you, Big Brother Sun?"
"Alright, you don't need to speak here. Lie down, yes, lie on the chair, expose your beautiful physique, and let Big Brother Sun use this Three Treasures Jade Ruyi to... insert it into your spine..."
Sun Kong held the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in his hand. Without asking how to use it, he actually made Wu Zhiqi lie down and was about to thrust it into his spine.
This scene did not seem out of the ordinary to the people of Flower Fruit Mountain.
Only Guang Chengzi and Taiyi Zhenren hastily shouted to stop him!
Under their guidance, Sun Kong finally understood that the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was not used in this manner; it required burning incense, praying, and bathing.
Finally,
It required the use of magic power to activate the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the boundless Yuqing energy contained within it could then be used to restore the cultivation of someone below the Saint level and consolidate the primordial spirit and physical body.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering, how could the spiritual treasure of Saint Yuqing be used by simply stabbing it into the spine with the most brutal method."
"Turns out, I was ignorant of my studies and got it wrong."
"This is truly embarrassing, like a country bumpkin encountering a Saint's spiritual treasure, knowing how to hold it but not how to use it."
After this confession, Sun Kong proceeded to restore Wu Zhiqi's cultivation using the correct method.
Indeed,
After this operation, his second brother Wu Zhiqi instantly recovered to the Great Circle of Taiyi Golden Immortal. However, just as he was on the verge of breaking through to the early stage of Hunyuan Da Luo Golden Immortal,
Due to his innate talent still being somewhat lacking, he was unable to succeed.
But fortunately,
Wu Zhiqi's Great Circle of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation was far stronger than in his weakened state, and he now possessed 50% more magic power than cultivators of the same level.
He would soon be able to serve Sun Kong effectively again!
On the other side, seeing the two good brothers embracing tightly, with tears in their eyes, yet not blaming them for forgetting to remind them of the usage earlier, Guang Chengzi and Taiyi Zhenren also felt a pang of shame.
"Senior Brother, before the Investiture of the Gods, we were also so united and close. Unfortunately, later on... alas."
"I never thought that the Monkey we disliked the most would be the one most devoted to brotherhood."
Taiyi Zhenren's sigh was evident, clearly moved by the brotherhood between Sun Kong and Wu Zhiqi.
"Who could have imagined?"
"However, the past is the past. We cannot dwell too much on it; let's look forward. Regardless of anything else, purely for this Monkey's loyalty, I, Guang Chengzi, will never discriminate against him again. I will definitely regard him as a true and respectable fellow Daoist."
On the other side, Guang Chengzi, whose memories were stirred by Taiyi Zhenren's words, also had a hint of tears in his eyes.
This time, although the two of them felt a sense of shock, it did not trigger the system's reward notification.
Just as Sun Kong was feeling a bit perplexed.
Suddenly,
From the direction of the Heavenly Court, a roar from the Jade Emperor could be heard.
It seemed to be for no other reason than Nezha's incompetence. Both Primordial Heavenly Venerable and Sun Kong had hinted for him to sneak in, but he had made too much noise.
As a result, he suffered.
He had provoked the roar of the Jade Emperor, the Lord of the Three Realms.
This roar not only embarrassed Sun Kong but also caused the expressions of the Chan Sect disciples to change on the spot!
