Chapter 492: Chapter 436, Ping Xin’s Silkie Chicken
Zhunti had nothing to say in response. How would I know? They shouldn’t be acting like this by all reasoning! Where is the cultivation of a Saint? Where is the magnanimity of a Saint?
Saint Zhunti thought for a moment and said ruefully, "They acted together, so there must be someone pulling the strings behind the scenes."
Jieyin instinctively said, "Bai Jin!"
"I will investigate." Saint Zhunti closed his eyes, and his Primordial Spirit searched through the Three Realms and Six Paths.
After a moment, Saint Zhunti opened his eyes and calmly said, "As expected, Bai Jin is not within the Three Realms."
Jieyin said angrily, "Then it’s definitely him.
Leading The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa to move against us, then hiding in the Saint’s Dojo to watch the changes unfold!
Brother, please oversee the outer regions of the Primordial World, and once Bai Jin appears amidst the Chaos, capture him immediately. We will not spare him this time."
Saint Zhunti nodded in agreement and said, "Okay!" Then, puzzled, he asked, "Brother, while I oversee the outer regions of the Primordial World, what will you do?"
Jieyin said leisurely, "Of course, I will reopen the Pure Land."
Saint Zhunti opened his mouth, and finally with some resignation squeezed out the words, "Brother, all things are void!" implying that it would suffice without having to construct it too exquisitely.
"I understand!" Jieyin turned around and flew into the distance.
...
Meanwhile, somewhere else, Bai Jin, carrying the little Xuan turtle, entered the Netherworld with a beaming smile on his face.
In the Iron-eating Tree Forest, Ping Xin was skillfully weaving a floral wreath.
Bai Jin entered the Iron-eating Tree Forest and loudly called out, "My lady, your disciple has come to see you."
The call startled the Iron-eating Beasts, and all of them looked at Bai Jin with round eyes filled with wariness, annoyed—here comes that little bird competing for affection again.
Bai Jin approached Ping Xin, bowed respectfully, and said with a warm smile, "Disciple greets my lady, wishing you good fortune and may all your wishes come true."
Ping Xin smiled and said, "Rise."
Standing up, Bai Jin, holding the little turtle in his hand, presented his gift, saying, "My lady, look what your disciple has brought you?"
Ping Xin’s eyes lit up, exclaiming with amazement, "A Chaos Xuan Turtle!"
She reached out a finger, and the Xuan Turtle immediately left Bai Jin’s hand, flying towards Ping Xin and landing in her hand.
Ping Xin’s fingers brushed over the turtle shell and said with a smile, "A Chaos Xuan Turtle with carved Tao patterns is quite rare. Where did you get this?"
Bai Jin let out a sigh of relief and said joyfully, "My lady, I’m glad you like it. This Xuan Turtle was captured by your disciple with the help of my elders in the depths of Chaos. With you in mind, I specially brought it as a gift for you."
Ping Xin nodded slightly, a thought crossing her mind. The elders Bai Jin spoke of must be Taishang and Primordial. If it were Tongtian, he would have directly said Master. A warmth flooded her heart—Bai Jin really is a considerate little cotton jacket! He is much better than Xingtian, who only knows how to fight and kill.
Ping Xin explained, "The bodies of turtle Demon Beasts contain a substance that can beautify and nourish the complexion. I am very fond of this Xuan Turtle. Thank you."
Bai Jin asked in surprise, "My lady, how do you know that turtle Demon Beasts can beautify and nourish the complexion?"
Ping Xin smiled and said, "Xuanwu Venerable Sage said so, and there surely can be no mistake."
Bai Jin was speechless, yet again Xuanwu Venerable Sage, how many people have you told this to! The Turtle Clan is so pitiful to have such a Venerable Sage.
...
Bai Jin extended her hand, and a plate of fragrant Golden Cicada Meat appeared in her palm, cheerfully saying, "My lady, look what this disciple has brought for you. Fragrant Golden Cicada Meat, rich in protein, can whiten and nourish the skin, craft a perfect figure, and tastes very good too."
Ping Xin, the lady, picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the Golden Cicada, and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "It does taste good indeed. This can also beautify and nourish complexion? Bring more next time."
Bai Jin immediately eagerly pledged her loyalty, shouting, "For the lady to like it is this disciple’s honor, and to desire it is this disciple’s mission."
In the distance, numerous Iron-eating Beasts glanced at Bai Jin’s fragrant plate, then at their own plump bear paws, woo-woo~ outdone by that bird again, so infuriating! One by one, they chomped on bamboo, converting sadness into appetite.
"Hmm~" Ping Xin, the lady, suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with surprise.
Bai Jin also held her breath and asked curiously, "My lady, what’s wrong?"
"Just now, the Tai Chi Diagram, Three Treasures Ruyi, Four Immortal Slaying Swords, and Red Embroidery Ball all descended into the Pure Land together, annihilating it in one fell swoop."
Bai Jin’s mouth slightly agape, exclaimed in astonishment, "How could this be?"
Ping Xin, the lady, scrutinized Bai Jin, and with a slight frown said, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
Bai Jin hurriedly responded, "My lady, I swear by Heaven and Earth!
I just went to visit some elders, but I didn’t do anything! After hunting the Chaos Xuan Turtle, I immediately brought it to you, and besides, you know me, plotting against others is not my forte!"
Blinking her big eyes earnestly, she said, "My lady, I am the naive and pure White Crane, you must believe me."
In her heart, Bai Jin was also certain it wasn’t her doing, she did plan to teach Buddhism a lesson, but she hadn’t made her move!
"Hmm~ I believe it’s not you, but Jieyin and Zhunti might not think so. Stay here for now, I’ll impart some Taoist teachings to you."
Bai Jin immediately said respectfully, "Thank you, My lady!"
...
Meanwhile, within the Demon Realm, the matters from within the Chaos were also known to the Demon Ancestor.
Inside the Black Cloud Palace, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou’s mouth twitched twice, my choice truly was wise, that youngster Bai Jin visited the Great Red Heaven, Qingwei Heaven, Yu Yu Heaven, Wa Emperor Heaven successively, then Taishang, Primordial, Tongtian, Nuwa acted together to annihilate the Pure Land, could this really be such a coincidence?
If the previous Heavenly Demon Tribulation had tempted him into becoming a demon, the Tai Chi Diagram, Three Treasures Ruyi, Four Immortal Slaying Swords, Red Embroidery Ball would probably not have gone to the Pure Land but entered the Demon Realm to kill instead.
However, this youngster’s style does indeed possess some traits of my Demon Clan, I like it!
...
Years passed in the Underworld, the sounds of imparting Taoist teachings suddenly ceased. Within the Iron-eating Tree Forest, the Iron-eating Beasts were still foolishly chewing on bamboo, woo-woo-woo X﹏X~ the lady has been neglecting us these days, feeling so miserable.
Bai Jin awoke from her meditation, immediately feeling her Dao Foundation within has become much more condensed, surrounding the Good Corpse above Qingyun were circles of Law Chains, each chain shimmering with Tao True Patterns.
Bai Jin hurriedly stood up and bowed, gratefully saying, "Thank you, My lady!"
Ping Xin, the lady, casually threw out the flower crown she had made, which whirled and flew out with a whoosh, disappearing behind the trees. Soon the flower crown flew back with a pure black rooster caught in the middle, clucking in panic.
The flower crown fell at Bai Jin’s feet, and the rooster struggled in vain, unable to jump out of the restraints of the crown.
Ping Xin, the lady, with a smile, said, "Bai Jin, you have brought me the Chaos Xuan Turtle, this black chicken that I have been carefully raising is for you now."
Bai Jin hurriedly refused, saying, "My lady, your teachings alone fill me with immense gratitude. Now you’re also presenting a gift to your disciple, how can I accept it?"
