Chapter 221 - 214: Green Emperor Borrows Troops from Biyou Palace
Wukong followed Yuan Tiangang into the Alchemy Room. Within the room were three apprentices fanning the flames for alchemy. The shelves were filled with charming little bottles, which though small in appearance, actually had a space ten times larger inside; they had been enhanced by someone with profound mana, who implanted a "Mustard Seed" within them.
"Resurrection Pills, Life-and-Death Pills, Spirit Gathering Pills..." The various elixir pills were neatly arranged, exuding a fragrance that intoxicated anyone who smelled it. Cultivating here certainly offered more benefits than cultivating outside.
When the three apprentices saw Yuan Tiangang arrive, they greeted him with a bow: "Master."
They then paid their respects to Wukong, who praised: "So many elixirs, not bad, not bad at all!"
Yuan Tiangang said with a smile, "In our Taoist Sect’s cultivation, we rely on elixir pills in many ways. These pills are not considered precious. Brother, if there are any you want, feel free to take them."
Wukong rubbed his hands together and said, "Then I won’t be polite, hehe!"
After saying so, he used a spell that could hold an entire universe in his sleeve. Yuan Tiangang only saw blackness before his eyes, and when he could see clearly again, the thousands of bottles of elixir pills had been completely swept away by Wukong. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly and thought to himself: "Wukong really isn’t being polite at all!"
Wukong said, "I can’t just take your elixir pills for nothing."
After saying this, he flipped his wrist and produced a green vine. This vine, casually picked from Mount Buzhou, was rich in wood energy and as ancient as thirty thousand years. It could be used in medicines, or even to craft magical treasures. Yuan Tiangang wasn’t pretentious; he accepted it directly, thinking that he could use the green vine to concoct quite a number of elixir pills.
"All is settled here; I shall take my leave first," Wukong said.
"I’ll see you off for a bit," Yuan Tiangang offered, following Wukong out of Qingyang Temple before Wukong ascended on a cloud and departed.
