Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1264 - Add some ingredients to the golden elixir... Oops, added the wrong ingredients

No matter how hard Taishang Laojun tried to calculate, it was useless. Even after rubbing his fingers raw, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

Taishang Laojun hesitated for a moment. He was inherently cautious, and in this situation, he could choose to withdraw and take back the golden elixir.

After all, no one knew what Zhu Bajie would do.

However, Taishang Laojun was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to gain merit.

This was the merit of resurrecting the corpse of the King of Wuji, which would directly make Taishang Laojun a free rider on the Journey to the West's merits!

It was precisely this temptation that made Taishang Laojun very clear about his choice.

Zhu Bajie couldn't overturn the heavens on his own, and he had more than just one golden elixir in his possession. Even if something happened to this one, he could instantly replenish it.

This merit absolutely could not be abandoned, absolutely not!

Thinking of this, Taishang Laojun glanced at Zhu Bajie with a threatening look.

"Zhu Bajie, I don't care what plans you have in mind, but I think you should be clear that no matter what you do, you cannot change the karma of the Journey to the West!"

"Even if you destroy this golden elixir, the only one who will suffer is you. I hope you are sensible and understand, do you understand?"

Zhu Bajie nodded repeatedly, looking obedient.

"Of course, I, Zhu Bajie, have always been a pragmatist. Taishang Laojun, you are a dignified sage, one of the supreme controllers of heaven and earth.

With a flip of your hand, you can decide my life, let me be born in a pigsty, let me only be able to bite and kill my parents, let me painfully lose my beloved wife… I already know the pain, of course, I won't do anything irrational again!"

After Zhu Bajie finished speaking, Taishang Laojun's expression became even more puzzled.

These words were full of resentment!

Zhu Bajie clearly didn't seem like someone who could obediently listen and deliver the elixir.

Taishang Laojun also had a moment of hesitation, fearing that letting Zhu Bajie deliver the elixir might not be a good choice. What if something unexpected happened?

However, Taishang Laojun quickly dismissed his concerns.

What could a Zhu Bajie accomplish?

Besides, he was watching the whole process. What could escape his eyes in this world?

Yes, yes, it's foolproof!

Taishang Laojun watched Zhu Bajie turn and leave, anticipating the reward of merit from the Journey to the West.

Extracting a lot of merit from the Tathagata Buddha back then had ignited a glimmer of hope in Taishang Laojun's heart.

As long as there was enough merit, he might be able to achieve his goal.

Especially since the destruction of the Tushita Palace back then had cost him a very good opportunity. This Journey to the West was an extremely important opportunity for him, and he couldn't give it up!

However, Taishang Laojun was still very relieved. Zhu Bajie was just a mere Da Luo.

Even if he harbored the secret of the War God's Heart, it was still clear to a sage.

Even Zhu Bajie in his full state was not enough to pose a threat. What did he need to worry about?

Moreover, Taishang Laojun had also placed a mark on the golden elixir. Once it was destroyed, he could quickly sense it, without delaying the karma of the Journey to the West.

"Boss, arrange it!"

Taishang Laojun didn't know that the Zhu Bajie who posed no threat in his eyes had already appeared before a white-robed immortal.

It was Chu Hao!

Chu Hao had a sky-covering talisman, and when fully deployed, even a sage couldn't see through it!

Taishang Laojun naturally didn't know that Zhu Bajie had already arrived in front of Chu Hao.

Zhu Bajie's face was full of resentment.

"Boss, this must be another tool used by Taishang Laojun to plant the karma of the Journey to the West, just like the golden elixir he used to trick me, Old Pig, into going to heaven back then!"

"Boss, why don't we destroy this elixir, so that Taishang Laojun can't get this karma, and it can be considered a repayment!"

Chu Hao smiled and waved his hand.

"Look at your petty thoughts. Do you think Taishang Laojun wouldn't think of that? I'm afraid that as soon as you destroy this golden elixir, Taishang Laojun will take a gourd of golden elixirs to Sun Wukong."

"The right thing to do is to add something to this golden elixir!"

Zhu Bajie was stunned.

"Add something? Can you even add something to this thing? Eh, wait, I remember you, Boss!"

Chu Hao smiled slightly.

"That's right, it's me! Modifying this thing isn't difficult."

"Leave it to me."

Without saying a word, Zhu Bajie handed the golden elixir to Chu Hao.

Chu Hao turned around and threw it into his Shennong Cauldron. That was a good thing.

Even quasi-sage elixirs that Taishang Laojun couldn't refine could be made. What was so difficult about modifying an elixir?

Next, Chu Hao evilly smiled and began to add ingredients to the golden elixir in the Shennong Cauldron!

The process of adding ingredients was extremely cruel, causing Zhu Bajie's expression to wrinkle, fear, and tremble at times.

Yes, who could be more black-bellied than my boss?

After a long while, Chu Hao took out the warm golden elixir and handed it to Zhu Bajie with a smile.

"Go ahead and send it to the King of Wuji. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Don't lose it."

Zhu Bajie took the golden elixir with a complicated expression. Only Zhu Bajie knew how many terrifying ingredients had been added to this golden elixir, which looked unchanged.

"Well, I'll go first."

"This golden elixir must be very effective."

Chu Hao nodded with a smile.

"I don't know how effective it is. I'm also looking forward to it."

Zhu Bajie's expression became even more frightened. Wait, even Chu Hao, who added the ingredients, didn't know what was wrong with this elixir?!

Suddenly, Zhu Bajie began to worry about the King of Wuji.

However, Zhu Bajie didn't hesitate much and ran away with the golden elixir.

Chu Hao stood there with a satisfied expression. According to his own elixir formula, he should be able to refine something very good, and it definitely wouldn't cause any trouble.

After all, he had added a soothing herb that could stabilize reason, a specialty of the Abyss, which could calm down even the most insane demons when they ate it.

Chu Hao's face was full of smiles. The soothing herb in his hand was a good thing. With this thing, he could balance the energy of the golden elixir…

Wait,

How could I have a soothing herb in my hand?

Didn't I throw it in to add ingredients?

Eh, where's my bottle? Where did it go!

Chu Hao was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and his expression was very strange.

If he wasn't mistaken, he should have added a little bit of the wrong thing.

However, it wasn't a big problem.

He hoped the King of Wuji was okay, amen.

He hoped everyone was okay, Amen.

At this moment, Zhu Bajie had already returned to the human world with the golden elixir, swaggering.

"Your Grandpa Pig has brought back the golden elixir!"

Zhu Bajie's loud voice surprised everyone waiting by the well. They didn't expect Zhu Bajie to come so quickly.
