Goku secretly slipped into Doushuai Palace, only to be spotted by Taishang Laojun.
"Oh, Great Sage, what brings you here this time?"
Goku jumped in fright, then immediately put on a serious expression. "I just missed you and came to see you."
"Great Sage, you're not one to visit without a reason. How could you suddenly have time to come see me? So, what is it?"
"Oh, come on, old man. Can't I come chat with you when nothing's wrong? Just look at you, honestly."
"By the way, old man, shouldn't you be at the Heavenly Court at this hour? Why are you here?"
"I haven't gone to the Heavenly Court to discuss state affairs in a long time," Taishang Laojun responded.
"Why not?" Goku asked.
"There are some things it's better for Great Sage not to know just yet."
"Has something happened at the Heavenly Court?" Goku asked.
"Great Sage, it's not yet time for you to know about this. When the time comes, you'll understand," Taishang Laojun said.
"Go on into my Doushuai Palace and take whatever you want. But there's one thing you mustn't touch: the Myriad Life Pill," Taishang Laojun said.
Goku was stunned. He had come this time precisely for that Myriad Life Pill.
"Laojun, I really just came to see you. I didn't have any other reason."
"You little rascal, do you think I don't know you? You never come here for anything good. You came for that Myriad Life Pill, didn't you?"
"Old man, you know that, and you still say I can't take it. You're doing it on purpose, aren't you?"
"Hahahahaha! It's not exactly on purpose. The main thing is, the Heavenly Court needs that pill too."
"What does the Heavenly Court need it for? Are you all immortal?" Goku asked.
