Innate Five Directional Banners, Five-Element Qiankun Sword (6/10)
Wu Chu hadn't expected that the ancestor would have such a high opinion of Little Moon Spirit's cooking skills.
However, if ingredients can be processed to produce special effects, it seems reasonable to say that it has "reached divine power" or "approached the Tao."
Led to the summit of the Purple Jade Mountain Divine Tree, the young Hao looked around and was much more relaxed than when he last came, even greeting many acquaintances.
After entering the Main Hall, the young Hao was pulled by Wu Chu to bow before the ancestor's Puppet avatar, which was also a way of informing the ancestor that Little Hao had safely arrived at Purple Jade Mountain.
Unfortunately, the patriarch seemed too lazy to respond to the two brothers. The two brothers couldn't help but exchange a glance, as if they both saw a sense of 'shared feelings' in each other's eyes.
"Little Hao, what brings you here?"
After they finished paying respects to the ancestor, Little Moon Spirit asked the young Hao with some curiosity.
Young Hao glanced at Wu Chu and said, "Didn't Senior Brother tell you? I've come to deliver the gift Master gave to Senior Brother. By the way, Master said that Little Moon Spirit, your cooking skills have improved a lot. I want to eat your drunken shrimp and drunken crab, do you have any?"
"You've got a good eye for timing, knowing this is the perfect time to eat crabs." Little Moon Spirit smiled and said, "There's plenty. You talk to Brother A Chu for a bit, I'll go catch some crabs."
Young Hao chuckled, took out two Spirit Treasure from his sleeve, turned around and handed them to Wu Chu, saying, "Senior brother, these are Spirit Treasure that Master asked me to give you."
Seeing the small yellow flag and the ancient-looking longsword handed to him by the young Hao, Wu Chu's heart skipped a beat. "What are they called?"
The young Hao smiled and pointed to the small yellow flag, saying, "This flag is called the Central Wuji Apricot-Yellow Banner. Once activated, it will produce ten thousand Golden Lotus, which are indestructible, causing all evil to retreat and all magic to be impervious. It is a top-grade Innate defensive Spirit Treasure."
It really is it!
It is said that the Innate Five Directional Banners were transformed from the lotus leaves of the Chaos Green Lotus.
Wu Chu only knew that this thing later came into the hands of Yuanshi. During the Investiture of the Gods, he lent it to his disciple Jiang Ziya. This thing could even block the Heaven-Overturning Seal, so its defense was top-notch.
After a pause, the young Hao continued, "As for this sword, it is the Five-Element Origin Spirit Heaven-and-Earth Sword, specially forged by Master for Senior Brother A Chu. It is made primarily of Innate Divine Iron, supplemented with Innate Five-Element Origin Spirits and other materials. The Heaven-and-Earth Cauldron was borrowed from the Qiankun Ancestor, and it took ten thousand years to forge. The back of the sword naturally forms natural patterns such as the Moon Star, heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers. It has the power to cleave through the Qiankun. Although it was forged Acquired, with the assistance of the Heaven-and-Earth Cauldron, this sword has returned to its Innate, becoming a top-grade Innate Object."
This reminded Wu Chu of another wondrous use of the Heaven-and-Earth Cauldron in legend: returning to one's Innate Acquired the acquired.
However, I've heard that using this function too much will deplete your Fortune.
It is clear that his master, Hongjun, had treated him quite well.
Moreover, hearing the young Hao's introduction, which sounded incredibly impressive, Wu Chu chuckled foolishly twice. Holding the two treasures, he turned and bowed to the ancestor's Puppet avatar, saying, "Disciple Wu Chu thanks Master for bestowing these treasures!"
Although the ancestor still didn't react, Wu Chu didn't care anymore. After all, he had the treasure in his hands, what more could he want?
Young Hao said with some envy, "Senior Brother A Chu was the first formal disciple Master accepted. With these two Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure by my side, even if my cultivation level is low, my safety has been greatly improved. In the future, when we travel across the Primordial Land, I hope Senior Brother will take good care of me!"
Wu Chu put his arm around the young Hao's shoulder and laughed, "We're brothers, there's no need for such formalities. But speaking of which, I've come to visit you twice, and I haven't had anything good to give you, which is quite shameful."
"Senior brother, please don't say that. When our junior brothers and sisters came here last time, they learned cooking, singing and dancing, and even the Golden Core Dao. How can you say there were no good things here!"
Young Hao smiled confidently, "As for Spirit Treasure, I'm not exaggerating, but although I'm not a formal disciple accepted by Master, I've served him for so many years, and Master has occasionally bestowed gifts upon me. If it weren't for these two Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure Master gave me, my own Spirit Treasure might not be much inferior to yours!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Chu chuckled and had to admit that Haotian was right.
Being next to a powerful figure like the Ancestor, even a single hair on his leg would be much thicker than Wu Chu's... That's precisely why Wu Chu wanted to latch onto this powerful figure!
Now I've finally got them! Two Supreme-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure have arrived! What a gain...
The thought alone made him feel wonderful.
After Little Moon Spirit finished preparing the food, Wu Chu ate and drank with her. The Little Fox ran back to keep them company, peeling a shrimp for Wu Chu every now and then.
However, young Hao didn't notice this at the moment, because he had already been conquered by Little Moon Spirit's cooking skills. As a fellow chef, young Hao knew very well how amazing the cooking skills were to prepare the ingredients to this extent! He was completely incomparable to her.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: No wonder Master praised Little Moon Spirit so much after returning home, it's simply... simply...
Young Hao was at a loss for words, so he simply used the words his ancestor had used to praise Little Moon Spirit.
After the young Hao Mei had eaten for a while, Wu Chu began to urge him to drink, and then occasionally told some interesting stories, such as the warriors of the Houtu Tribe Mahjong playing mahjong, Houtu Miss Houtu very angry, and for this reason, she had to hold Divine Ability Tournament.
For example, back then, those two shameless old bastards, Yin-Yang Ancestor and Long-Brow Old Daoist, were vying to take Little Moon Spirit as their disciple.
For example, the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan had another battle in the Great River Basin.
Upon hearing this, young Hao's eyes lit up, and he said, "Senior brother is so free, able to come and go as he pleases from Purple Jade Mountain and experience so many things. Junior brother stays on Jade Capital Mountain, and apart from occasionally playing with Junior Sister Yao and those Little Flower Fairies, there's nothing else to do."
Through Hao's account, Wu Chu learned that Hao was currently working as a cook and handyman, serving tea and water to the ancestor and preparing food.
Imagine, this humble cook, gatekeeper, and handyman of Jade Capital Mountain will one day become the Heavenly Emperor, revered by Three Realms. Isn't that inspiring?
Wu Chu patted his shoulder and sighed softly, "Don't take your good fortune for granted. Compared to you, I'd rather switch places with you! With Master by your side, you don't have to worry about safety at all; you can live a carefree life. Here on Purple Jade Mountain, I'm constantly facing threats that I might not be able to handle... When I first met Master, I was being threatened by that Old Demon from the West, and I was already preparing to lead everyone on a journey!"
Wu Chu then told the young Hao about the Old Demon on the Western Land.
Listening to Wu Chu's account of the dangers he had experienced, young Hao couldn't help but feel that he was perhaps unaware of his own good fortune.
Sure enough, it's tough being a senior student too!
