Transformation Pill

Shen Xubai directly took the young Daoist's place and personally led Su Yu and the others up the mountain.

Now, Callis and the other girls didn't dare to complain about being tired anymore. After all, they could still act coquettishly among their own people, but with outsiders around, they had to at least save face for their headmaster and not let people say that the Hogwarts Special Operations Team was a bunch of cowards, exhausted from climbing a mountain like dogs.

That's why the Wudang Sect is considered one of the two most prestigious sects at East University.

After reaching the summit, the group looked down.

Seventy-two peaks pay homage to the Heavenly Pillar Peak, while a sea of clouds slowly surges between the valleys, overflowing over the eaves of palaces and temples.

The Zixiao Palace, with its red walls and green tiles, is built against the mountain. Its halls are majestic, and the smoke from the incense burners rises gently, mingling with the pine breeze in the mountains.

On the open bluestone training ground in front of the palace, many Wudang disciples were dressed in plain Daoist robes, some practicing Tai Chi, and others reviewing sword moves.

With a light swing of the longsword, the wind whistled softly, the moves were smooth and gentle, without any fierceness, yet a profound inner strength flowed within.

Some disciples sat cross-legged on the steps, closed their eyes, and practiced breathing exercises, listening quietly to the mountain stream.

Most of the time, it was young disciples sparring with swords, their robes fluttering in the mountain wind.

Beneath the hall's corridor, an elderly Daoist priest stood with his hands behind his back, holding a whisk, quietly instructing his disciples on their cultivation.

The sounds of bells and chimes drifted from the main hall from time to time, echoing the rustling of the pines.

In the distance, Nanyan Palace hangs precariously on a thousand-foot cliff, while the Golden Hall atop Heavenly Pillar Peak gleams faintly through the gaps in the clouds.

White cranes occasionally glide over the houses in the mountains and land on the branches of ancient pines. The entire Wudang sect has both the serene and otherworldly atmosphere of Daoism and the majestic spirit of martial arts in the Jianghu.

"Zhao Zhenren, I've brought everyone with me."

Facing these few remaining Demigod of East University, Shen Xubai was no longer as agitated as before. He slightly cupped his hands and whispered to Zhao Zhenren.

The older Daoist priest put away his whisk, smiled, and carefully examined the young man not far away.

"Zhao Zhenren, our juniors and we have come from afar and have taken the liberty of visiting your home, disturbing the sacred mountain."

I have long admired the reputation of Wudang, and it is truly an honor to meet you today. I apologize for any inconvenience caused and hope you will forgive me.

Su Yu, standing to the side, didn't dare to be presumptuous either. He treated his uncle with utmost respect, just like his stepmother. Anyone can say nice things.

"Haha, I didn't know you could be so formal, Su boy."

After saying that, Zhao Zhenren winked at Su Yu.

Zhao Zhenren's single sentence silenced Su Yu; the contrast was just too stark!

Shouldn't they all be aloof and kind?

Why does Zhao Zhenren look like a playful old man?

"That's just how Zhao Zhenren is. He always says we need to keep up with the times, and he likes to joke around."

Zhang Qinwan winked at Su Yu Su Yu, pulling him back from his shock, and whispered the message to him.

"Ahem... Well... I see... Well, with Zhao Zhenren here, Su Yu dares not be informal."

Just as Su Yu finished speaking, the Kurama on her shoulder jumped down. She stared intently at the white-haired old man, as if there was something pleasant about him. Her little nose twitched as she cautiously moved closer to Zhao Zhenren.

"Kurama, you can't be so rude."

Su Yu quickly carried Kurama back, but Kurama still stared at Zhao Zhenren in the same way.

"Su Yu, this old Daoist priest smells wonderful! He definitely has something good inside!"

"You should Zhao Zhenren..."

Su Yu flicked her little head, and Kurama cried out "Ouch!" from the touch, then covered her head with her paws and glared at Su Yu with displeasure.

"Haha, as expected of a spirit beast! That nose of yours! I even specially put it in a jade bottle and wrapped it in several layers, but you still managed to smell it. Little guy, look, isn't this it?"

As he spoke, Zhao Zhenren smiled and took out a small cloth bag from his bosom. After unraveling it layer by layer, a jade bottle was revealed inside.

Kurama's eyes widened suddenly, and he nodded repeatedly in Su Yu.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the taste! Old Daoist priest, let me take a look."

"You should Zhao Zhenren..."

Another flick on the forehead finally made Kurama call out "Zhao Zhenren!" Then he jumped out of Su Yu, ran to Zhao Zhenren, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "That's the smell! It smells wonderful!"

Zhao Zhenren smiled and patted Kurama's head. "Hey? You know what, your head doesn't hurt anymore!"

"This is a gift I prepared for you since it's your first time here. I heard you also have a big snake, right? That's for her."

Zhao Zhenren raised his head and looked at Su Yu.

"Nagini? Does Zhao Zhenren still remember her?"

"Hehe, yes, that's her. This Transformation Pill was prepared for her."

The Transformation Pill, as the name suggests, is specifically used to transform animals into human form. However, it is not something that can be used by just anyone, and the conditions are very strict. The other party's cultivation level must also reach a certain level. This Transformation Pill is extremely precious, and the materials that can be refined have long been extinct. Nowadays, this pill is priceless and extremely rare.

After hearing Zhang Qinwan's surprised words, Su Yu quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"Zhao Zhenren, this gift is far too precious; this junior dares not accept it."

"You brat, why are you being so polite with me? Just take it. Don't stand on ceremony. Quickly summon that giant snake called Nagini and let this old Daoist see if it's suitable for you."

Seeing Zhao Zhenren's nonchalant expression, Su Yu couldn't refuse and had no choice but to summon Nagini in front of everyone.

Su Yu bit his finger, Hand Seals (Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei), and then slapped the ground.

"Summoning Technique."

As a plume of white smoke rose, a massive snake appeared before the crowd. It was a thick, golden-green python with scales that gleamed with a cold, eerie light and vertical, golden pupils.

Nagini flicked its tongue and nuzzled towards Su Yu, acting like a puppy and constantly being affectionate.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Be good, I have something good for you today."

Su Yu held Nagini's head in his arms, signaling her not to move.

"Has this giant snake already transformed into human form?"

Zhao Zhenren immediately noticed something was wrong; there was definitely something wrong with this giant snake, and it didn't seem to be due to its human form.

"Yes, Nagini is actually a human..."

"Humans?" ×2

Shen Xubai and Zhang Qinwan both looked at Su Yu in astonishment. How could this be? A human had turned into a snake?

Nagini was originally a girl from Indonesia, but she carried a Blood Curse called Maledictus, making her Maledictus.

In other words, they were originally human, but were cursed by a maternal blood demon, slowly and permanently turning into a giant snake, never to return to human form.

However, in the early days, Nagini could switch between human and snake forms, but the curse was irreversible, and later she was completely trapped in snake form, losing her human memories and humanity.

After hearing Su Yu's explanation, everyone finally understood the origin of this giant snake.

"Sigh, this is going to be difficult..."

As Zhao Zhenren sighed, Su Yu suddenly looked up. This is not easy to handle, but it didn't say it was impossible!
