Lin Shen Descends the Mountain! The Market Turns Upside Down!
"I want some too!"
Lin Shen's childish voice, transmitted through that loyal "Stepping Stone Friend," transformed into four bolts of world-destroying divine lightning, striking directly at the Holy Soul of the Qiankun Food Sage.
He froze completely.
The Ten-Thousand-Year He Shou Wu in his hand no longer seemed to be a spiritual root, but had become a piece of Chaos Divine Iron that could burn through the Dao Body Sage.
Eat!
My Little Ancestor wants to eat!
What should we do?
To give or not to give?
This is an ultimate problem that could shatter even Sage's Dao Heart on the spot.
Give it to him, he can't bear to part with it.
This was Innate Spiritual Root that he "reasonably confiscated" from a clueless Medicine Immortal by virtue of his supreme power as the "Street Office Director"!
Its medicinal power and Daoist essence are enough to make a pig ascend to become Primordial Unity Golden Immortal on the spot!
He himself had only taken a bite and hadn't even tasted it yet.
Not giving it to me?
In the mind of the Qiankun Food Sage Yuxu Palace where the Yuanshi Tianzun was dancing wildly, and the face of the Tongtian Jiaozhu whose smile was more distorted than crying, flashed by instantly.
He jolted, his Saintly Body trembling, instantly dispelling the dangerous thought that could have annihilated him.
He certainly didn't want his own Qiankun Cauldron to start performing "stewing himself in an iron pot" on the Kunlun Mountain Peak tomorrow.
"Give it! You must give it!"
The Qiankun Food Sage roared inwardly, Sage old face instantly crumbling, before he forced out a twisted, obsequious smile.
"Junior brother! You've misunderstood! How could I, your senior brother, steal good food!"
While calming Lin Shen with his divine sense, he hurriedly took out the he He Shou Wu) from behind his back, wiped it with his sleeve until it shone brightly and exuded a Daoist aura.
"Senior brother, I'm testing the poison for you...!"
"Yes! Test it for poison! Look, this thing looks so strange, what if it's poisonous? I, your senior brother, will take the lead and taste it for you to make sure it's absolutely safe!"
These words were spoken with great righteousness and were deeply moving.
"Oh? Is that so?" Lin Shen's voice carried a hint of innocent doubt.
"Absolutely true!" The Qiankun Food Sage patted his chest to assure him, "Junior Brother, please wait a moment, I will take this 'verified non-poisonous' delicacy up the mountain to you right away!"
As he spoke, he prepared to pack up his stall, slip away quickly, and head up the mountain to "present his treasure."
However, Lin Shen's next words caused the Sage power he had just gathered to instantly dissipate.
"No! It's no fun if you bring it up!"
"Lin Shen will have to go down and get it himself!"
Go down and get it yourself?
It was as if ten thousand Chaos Divine Thunder had been stuffed into the mind of the Sage of Qiankun Food Sage, causing a deafening roar.
Is the Little Ancestor going down the mountain?
Why would he descend into his chaotic "Kunlun Market," a place teeming with unscrupulous merchants, speculators, and performers?
If... if even the slightest mistake is made, and those people on the mountaintop find out...
He Qiankun is probably going to be turned into a real "iron pot stewing himself" by the combined efforts of the Three Pure Ones!
"No! No! Junior Brother!"
The Qiankun Food Sage's voice was sharp and cracked, "There are too many people and all sorts of people down the mountain, it's very dangerous! You're of noble birth, what if you get hurt!"
"It's alright!" Lin Shen's voice was full of innocent fearlessness. "Grandpa and the Master are all sleeping. Lin Shen just go down and grab something delicious, and I'll be right back!"
"Moreover, Lin Shen is incredibly powerful now! Lin Shen is Daluo Golden Immortal!"
The little guy's tone was filled with unparalleled confidence in his "powerful strength".
Before the Qiankun Food Sage offer any further advice, he did not intervene.
On the Kunlun Mountain Peak, towards the back of the mountain, a small figure was already taking its first steps, running downhill with short legs.
As he ran, he excitedly shouted, "Brother Qiankun! I'm here! Remember to save that delicious treat that looks like a baby for Lin Shen!"
It's over!
Barbie Q is here!
Qiankun Food Sage's vision went black, and he felt that his path to Sage was shrouded in darkness, without a glimmer of light.
He dared not be negligent in the slightest. His Sage power erupted, transforming into a streak of light that instantly rushed out of his Golden Pumpkin Office.
"Level One Alert! Level One Alert!"
"Attention all units! Attention all units!"
"Junior Brother has gone down the mountain! Repeat! Junior Brother has gone down the mountain!"
The roar of the Qiankun Food Sage, carrying undisguised Sage pressure, transformed into a tangible sonic storm that instantly swept across the entire Kunlun Market.
In that instant, the entire market fell into a deathly silence.
All ongoing business activities came to an abrupt halt.
In the East District, the Spirit Butterfly Fairies, who were staging the light and shadow show "The Birth of the Junior Brother," suddenly froze, their fairy light became disordered, and they almost fell from mid-air.
In the West End, the challengers experiencing freefall in the tornado had their screams frozen in their throats, being flung around like tattered Tattered Sack with broken strings.
In the central food street, the sizzling, oily grilled meat instantly lost its aroma, and the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Clam sashimi shrank back into its shell in fright.
All living beings, whether they were haggling, boasting, or practicing their skills, stopped what they were doing at the same moment.
On their faces appeared the same complex expression as that of the Qiankun Food Sage and Earth, a mixture of shock, ecstasy, and extreme panic.
My Little Ancestor... has come down the mountain?!
What does that mean?
This means that an ultimate test, which will determine their future path and even their life and death, has arrived without warning!
"Hurry! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
The old monkey demon who started the "Heavenly Craftsmanship" team was the first to react. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks and roared at his monkey followers.
"Bring out our latest 'Seven-Colored Glazed Transformer'! Place them in the most conspicuous spot at the intersection! Quickly!"
"And one more thing! That 'Handheld Light and Shadow Box'! Quickly change it to the play 'Junior Brother vs. the Villains'! Remember! Make sure to draw the Junior Brother as mighty and domineering, the kind who could shatter a universe with one punch!"
On the other side, the Toad Spirit Leader of the "Croaking Professional Team" toad demons also immediately went into battle mode.
"Everyone! Everyone! Immediately enter 'Level One Emotional Mode'!"
"Target: Junior Brother! Emotion: Fanaticism and worship upon seeing an idol! Expression: Tears welling up in eyes, overwhelmed with excitement! Action: Prostrating himself in the most devout posture to welcome the arrival of the Little Ancestor!"
"Anyone who dares to mess up, or whose crying isn't sincere enough, Laozi skin them alive and use their skin as a drum!"
After a brief period of deathly silence, the entire Kunlun Market instantly descended into a state of orderly frenzy.
Countless stalls were rearranged at lightning speed.
All sorts of "ultimate weapons" prepared to please Lin Shen were dug out from the bottom of their chests.
Countless creatures began frantically grooming themselves, striving to present the most perfect image, one that best showcased their "talent" and "loyalty," before their Little Ancestor.
As the instigator of all this, the Qiankun Food Sage is now almost frantic with worry.
He frantically directed the "rectification work" below, using his Sage wisdom.
With lightning speed, he rushed towards the direction Lin Shen down the mountain.
"Yang Mei! Fellow Daoist Yang Mei! Wake up! Get up and get to work!"
He sent a heart-wrenching distress signal to the figure above the clouds, who was still resting with his eyes closed.
"Junior Brother is coming down the mountain! Quick! Use your Space Dao to pave a red carpet! No! Pave a rainbow avenue made of starlight! It has to be soft! It has to be bright! It has to be the kind that makes you sing as soon as you step on it!"
Above the clouds, the Yang Mei the Great Immortal suddenly opened his eyes. On his eternally unchanging old face, a rare crack appeared, revealing a look of utter horror.
"Yin Yang! Fellow Daoist Yin Yang! Stop soaking in the underground! Come out now!"
"Mobilize all the spiritual energy of the earth's veins! Along the way down the mountain, cultivate 99,999 Great Dao Golden Lotus! Each one must be different! One must be strawberry-flavored, one banana-flavored, and one chocolate-flavored!"
Deep within the earth's veins, the Yin Yang Reason Sage, who was intimately connected with the Pangu Dao Rhyme, shuddered, nearly causing his Yin Yang energies to reverse and him to suffer a qi deviation on the spot.
"And you two! The one watering the plants! The one planting the grass!"
"Stop watering! Stop planting! Go! Hide all the ugly, fierce, and strangely shaped creatures in the market Old Daoist me! Don't let my junior brother see a single one!"
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"
The Qiankun Food Sage felt that his Sage's Heart was being tormented and riddled with holes at this moment.
He never imagined that his first "holy war" after Prove the Dao and Become a Saint would be... welcoming an inspection from a three-year-old toddler!
This was a million times more thrilling than fighting Luohu back then!
Just as chaos erupted and everything fell apart at the Kunlun Mountain.
Lin Shen, filled with anticipation for the "baby-shaped delicacies," strode happily to the entrance of Kunlun Market.
He stood before the huge stone tablet inscribed with "Welcome to Kunlun Market" and blinked curiously.
Then, he reached out his little hand and touched the stone tablet.
Hello, Big Stone Friend.
The Artifact Spirit of the stone tablet trembled violently the moment it sensed Lin Shen's touch, and every stroke of the Old Daoist script engraved on it came to life, radiating dazzling golden light!
A surge of fawning and ingratiating emotion flooded Lin Shen's mind.
"Welcome, Little Master, for your guidance! You are the light of our community! The hope of our community! The only Kami Sama in our community!"
Immediately afterwards, under Lin Shen's astonished gaze...
The huge stone tablet suddenly cracked open from the middle.
From within, Music Box Band composed of various spirits and monsters slowly rose up?
Holding various musical instruments crafted from Innate Geng Metal and the Sun Divine Iron, they played for Lin Shen the divine melody that had long resounded throughout Kunlun and was hailed as the "melody of the Great Dao"...
"The Vast Horizon is My Love..."
Lin Shen: "..."
He felt that this Big Stone Friend... seemed somewhat familiar?
