At midnight.

Patriarch Bodhi was lying on his side on the bed with his eyes squinted, looking like he was in a deep sleep, but his heart was far from as calm as he appeared, and he was even a little anxious.

Because in his spiritual perception, his disciple Wukong was still practicing with his eyes closed, and it seemed that he had not understood the secret code.

"Shi Ling is very intelligent, how could he not understand that the master hit him three times and closed the middle door because he wanted him to learn Taoism through the back door at midnight?"

The more Bodhi thought about it, the more upset he became.

It would be worse for Shi Ling to understand the secret code but not come to learn the law than not to understand the secret code at all.

Because this means that Wukong has already developed an opinion about his master.

"Wukong wouldn't be that stingy, would he?"

Patriarch Bodhi thought that when he first asked his disciple, who had extraordinary talent, to learn how to "ask for divination from the gods" and teach him how to ask for help from others, there was indeed a subconscious intention to belittle and look down on the other party.

But his real purpose was just to make Wukong refuse again and again so that he could pretend to be angry and hit him three times, and let Wukong secretly come over at night to cook for him!
It's not like I really look down on people.

"Oh, this is done..."

Patriarch Bodhi sighed quietly.

Other disciples were all hoping and begging me to grant them the secret of immortality, but Wukong was different. He had no desires or requests and learned whatever I taught him.

On the surface he seems cheerful and can get along with anyone, but in fact, he even dares to roast his master over the fire, making him embarrassed.

Having such an evil disciple, Patriarch Bodhi was both happy and tired.

“Forget it, forget it. If he doesn’t come, I will call him. The teaching of the Dharma can’t be delayed any longer.” Patriarch Bodhi was really afraid that if it was delayed for a few years, Wukong would have become a Daluo Jinxian.

If I don’t teach now, I will leave a legacy of respect. In a few years, the master will become a teacher.

By the time the journey to the West is completed, the merits and virtues will have been reduced many times over.

……

The end of midnight.

"Wukong, come quickly, I will teach you real skills."

The voice of Bodhi Patriarch sounded in my mind.

After hearing what his master said, Cheng Long immediately ended his practice, got up and walked out of his residence.

He wanted to pretend to be stupid and not understand his master's intention in order to reduce the master-disciple relationship between him and Patriarch Bodhi. However, he didn't expect that Patriarch Bodhi, who had a sage-like demeanor, would directly ask him to prepare special lessons.

There is no way to be deaf and dumb.

For him, becoming a disciple was just a process to allow him to cultivate his immortality in peace.

It doesn’t matter whether Bodhi Patriarch teaches you real skills or not.

But how could Bodhi Patriarch miss such a great contribution of teaching the people who were destined to obtain the scriptures?
Not to mention, Patriarch Bodhi and the Buddhist saint Cundi have a close relationship, and it is even very likely that they are each other's corpses. Even if there are no such messy involvements, if he accepts the man who is destined to obtain the scriptures as his disciple, he must preach and teach him the Dharma. If he really teaches him to become a stone spirit who can only seek advice from immortals and avoid danger and seek good fortune, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky will laugh their heads off.

How will the trouble in the underworld and the heaven be handled later?

Therefore, even if 'Sun Wukong' did not have various skills and his comprehension was not high, sooner or later he would be able to learn the real skills of making trouble in heaven from his master.

Although many gods were acting along when the havoc occurred in Heaven, as the protagonist of the havoc, one must at least have a cultivation level stronger than that of the heavenly soldiers and generals.

It would be a real joke if he couldn't even defeat any random heavenly general.

After a while, Cheng Long arrived at the temple of Patriarch Bodhi. The interior decoration was not luxurious, even a bit simple, with only a front hall, a back hall, and a secret room for retreat and practice.

At this moment, Patriarch Bodhi was waiting for him in the secret room.

"Master, my disciple is here."

Cheng Long pushed open the door of the secret room and bowed to his master who was sitting on the cushion.

"Wukong, your master asked you to learn the art of seeking immortals and asking for divinations. Do you feel resentful?"

Patriarch Bodhi spoke slowly.

He cared a lot about this. If his disciples were jealous, he would teach them some magical skills. If they didn't have any, he would teach them some real skills as appropriate.

"Master, I became an immortal by listening to your teachings. How could I have any complaints against you?" Cheng Long looked at Patriarch Bodhi aggrievedly, like a child who was wronged by his parents.

"It's already three o'clock in the morning, why haven't you come yet?"

"..."

Cheng Long didn't reply, but a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

When Patriarch Bodhi saw this, he shook his head and said, "Wukong, you are usually so smart and you can understand everything I say. Why did I hit you three times before and close the middle door, so that you... Never mind, never mind. I will teach you a magic trick now, so remember it well."

"The secret of the perfect communication between the exoteric and esoteric teachings is truly wonderful, but unfortunately there is no one to explain it to you when cultivating your nature and life;
Always be energetic and vigorous, keep it safe and don't let it leak out;
Don't leak it out, keep it in your body, you will prosper as I teach you;
Memorizing the formula is very helpful, it can eliminate evil desires and bring you coolness..."

It turns out to be a great celestial immortal technique!
Cheng Long carefully memorized this cultivation method, but found that its grade was not very high and he could only cultivate it to the Golden Immortal Realm. The rest of his cultivation path was blank.

It is not as good as "Ashura Manual" and "Taiyin Mysterious Classic", which at least tell you that you need to comprehend the laws after becoming a Daluo Jinxian.

If the path of laws is blocked, you can also look for spiritual treasures to kill the three corpses and become a saint.

"Wukong, have you memorized all the techniques?"

"take note of it."

Cheng Long nodded.

Patriarch Bodhi said with relief: "Your path of cultivation is destined to be bumpy. It is not enough to have only the skills. You must also learn the art of protecting the way. I have two kinds of art of protecting the way: the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques and the Seventy-Two Earthly Evil Transformations. I wonder which one you want to learn?"

"Tian Gang is in front, Di Sha is behind, and the disciple is willing to learn the method of Tian Gang."

"You little clever guy."

Patriarch Bodhi smiled and said, "The Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Methods are great magical powers. Even a person with great talent can only learn a few of them. If you are not afraid of delaying your practice, I can teach you all the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Methods."

"Thank you, Master."

Cheng Long said excitedly that one should act out the whole play.

Since he has replaced the original with a fake one and become the man destined to obtain the scriptures, he must play the role of Monkey King seriously and make the name of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven Sun Wukong resound throughout the three realms.

Ever since Patriarch Bodhi gave him special treatment, his life became more and more boring. He even stopped picking peaches from the Rotten Peach Mountain. He stayed at home and practiced "The Book of Creation", "Thirty-six Methods of the Heavenly Gang", "The Secret of the Divine Fire" and "The Nine Revolutions of the Mysterious Art".

The Divine Fire Technique is a method to condense the primordial spirit and temper the divine fire.

The original body comprehended the fire of Nirvana, the Superman clone comprehended the true fire of the moon, and the clone Sun Wukong comprehended the true fire of the sun.

The Sun's True Fire is called "the ancestor of all fires, the origin of all fires". It is the origin of the innate fire beast, the Golden Crow. The Sun's True Fire is dark inside and bright outside, and it emits a strong golden light, which can burn the world with just one ray. No matter which world this fire is in, it is the true master of all fires.

Even if it was just a small flame in the soul, it had great power, as if it could easily burn a Taiyi Golden Immortal to death...

"If a Golden Immortal can burn a Taiyi Golden Immortal to death, then when my cultivation reaches the Taiyi realm, won't I be able to burn a Daluo Golden Immortal to death?"

Three years later, Cheng Long, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Immortal, sensed the terrifying power of the Sun's True Fire in his soul's purple palace, and couldn't help but sigh.

The true fire of the sun gave him the capital to challenge opponents of higher levels.

I feel more confident as I face the upcoming journey to the West.

……

Wa Palace.

Cheng Long, whose cultivation level had been stuck at the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal for many years, looked at his clone who could break through every now and then with envy on his face.

If possible, he really wanted to switch with his clone, go to Fangcun Mountain to learn Taoism himself, and let his clone Sun Wukong come to the Queen Wa Palace to enjoy his mother's care.

This is not to say that Nuwa was not kind to him. On the contrary, she was especially kind to him. Whenever he needed help, Nuwa would give him special treatment and explain the laws of creation to him in private.

The peach tree, ginseng fruit, fairy banana, and all kinds of fairy things, as long as the Queen has them, he can enjoy them.

Even the aunt in the Yin-Yang Fan, the four maids, Ning Zhongze and Bai Ling, all made great progress in their cultivation with the help of the Empress. Aunt Axian, who was in the Taiyi Realm, became a Daluo Jinxian in just a few years.

The six girls, Ning Zhongze, Bai Ling, Cui Zhu, Shaoyao, Yunmei and Dingxiang, were reborn and entered the Golden Immortal Realm one after another.

The other flower fairies did not receive this treatment. They only got some cultivation resources and made slight progress in their cultivation. If they wanted to make great progress in their cultivation, they would have to have a special relationship with Cheng Long.

And Cheng Long, with his aunt, Ning Zhongze, Bai Ling and others by his side, naturally would not provoke other flower fairies.

"Xiaolong, come here and give Mommy a shoulder massage."

Nuwa, dressed in a red dress, sat beside a pool filled with the Three Lights Holy Water and waved to Cheng Long who was passing by.

Cheng Long ran forward happily, and while massaging his cheap mother's shoulders, he said, "Mom, is the Qiankun Ding with you?"

Nuwa said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

"I have several acquired spiritual treasures and would like to ask for your help in transforming them into innate spiritual treasures..." Cheng Long had the attitude of a bastard who would not take advantage of any benefit. He took advantage of his increasingly close relationship with Nuwa and made a request without blinking an eye.

The Qiankun Ding is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, which has the functions of returning to the original nature, improving the grade and quality of treasures and weapons, and transforming acquired into innate.

It is said that the Qiankun Ding was transformed from the lotus pod of the Green Lotus of Creation, and has the same origin as the Black Lotus of Destruction.

However, his 24th-grade Black Lotus of Destruction is obviously more powerful than the Qiankun Cauldron.

After all, it was an innate treasure that had been upgraded by the system, and Cheng Long didn't dare to use it, for fear that he would destroy the world by accident.

The twelfth-grade black lotus of destruction has supreme power in the hands of the demon Luohou. It can easily destroy the entire western land veins, causing the Taoist ancestor to pay for the cause and effect until now and give preferential treatment to the two traitors of Xuanmen.

Once the twenty-fourth-grade black lotus of destruction is taken out, even Nuwa, who regards it as her own flesh and blood, may not be able to help but be tempted.

Once the above laws of destruction are thoroughly understood, the strength of any saint can be greatly improved in a short period of time.

Cheng Long also relied on the Black Lotus of Destruction to successfully master the Law of Destruction, and the Law of Killing relied on the main cultivation method "Killing Decision"...

"What treasure? Take it out and see if it has any value against the innate nature."

It also takes a lot of energy for Nuwa to use the Qiankun Ding, but for ordinary acquired spiritual treasures, there is really no need to go against the innate nature.

"Yin Yang Fan, Bloodthirsty Pearl, Phoenix Blade, Soul Nurturing Jade, Haotian Mirror..."

Cheng Long took out all his acquired spiritual treasures at once.

There was nothing special about the other things, except for the bloodthirsty beads and the scarlet chains, which changed the way Nuwa looked at him.

These two items are obviously monsters, and they are not ordinary monsters, they are full of demonic nature.

"Xiaolong, where did the bloodthirsty beads and scarlet chains come from? Tell the truth."

Nuwa adopted Cheng Long as her son because she was impressed by his virtues and thought that a quasi-saint who had cultivated the golden wheel of merit would be a good boy.

Unexpectedly, the good boy she thought was actually secretly hiding a monster.

Each one is more evil than the last.

"The Scarlet Chain is a magical weapon that I stole from the God of Death in a small world. I have never used it much, but the Bloodthirsty Pearl has been used more often. However, all the people and demons killed by the Bloodthirsty Pearl have committed many evil deeds."

Cheng Long didn't know how to explain the origin of the bloodthirsty pearl, so he could only use the art of language to avoid the important issues and try his best to soften his mother's attitude.

As expected, upon hearing that the Bloodthirsty Pearl only sucked in the wicked and did not harm the innocent, Nuwa's expression gradually eased, and she said slowly: "Take back these two evil objects, and leave all the other acquired spiritual treasures. Mother will help you smelt them, and I hope to produce a few fine products."

"Thank you, mother."

Cheng Long was delighted and decisively put away the annoying bloodthirsty beads and scarlet chains, leaving behind the Yin-Yang Fan, Fengming Knife, Soul-Nourishing Jade, Haotian Mirror, and Leiyan Sword.

As for the acquired merit and spiritual treasure "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", there is no need to invest in the Qiankun Ding to go against the innate.

The way to improve the barefoot doctor's manual is very simple. The more widely it is spread, the more merits you will gain, and your rank will naturally improve.

Nuwa is very efficient.

However, in just half a month, he successfully reversed and produced three innate spiritual treasures.

The top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Yin-Yang Polar Fan, was sent to the Qiankun Cauldron for smelting and directly transformed into a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure. The top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the 'Fengming Knife', was also transformed into a low-grade innate spiritual treasure due to the addition of some unknown material.

The last one is quite special. Its main materials are two low-grade acquired spiritual treasures, the Haotian Mirror and the Yanghun Jade. They are directly integrated into one by Nuwa and turned into a low-grade innate spiritual treasure called the "Netherworld Mirror".

The Thunder Flame Sword, which was unable to reverse its innate nature, was also upgraded from low-grade to high-grade, becoming a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure, and its power was increased by dozens of times.

"Mom, you've worked so hard for so long, you must be very tired. I just learned a foot massage skill that can relax your muscles and activate blood circulation. Please take off your shoes and let me massage you."

After receiving the three innate spiritual treasures and one top-grade acquired spiritual treasure returned by Nuwa, Cheng Long was overjoyed and for the first time ever, he began to massage Nuwa's feet.

After touching the soft and silky jade feet, he didn't know how the next few hours passed. It seemed like he was massaging Nuwa's feet to show his filial piety, but it also seemed like he wasn't.

Because he had already been distracted and his thoughts were wandering.

Nuwa's jade feet are like the finest warm jade and feel great to the touch.

Fortunately, Mr. Cheng is a man with a bottom line, and this did not cause any qualitative change in the mother-son relationship between him and Nuwa. Although his technique was ordinary, Nuwa liked this service very much.

Ever since he massaged my feet once, I would ask him to massage my feet every now and then, and I seemed to be addicted to it.

Mr. Cheng also gradually became accustomed to it from his initial hesitation. (End of this chapter)
