After a while, Si finally gave in. "Fine, I'll go with you. But if you say it's a great fortune, you have to explain it clearly to me, right?"
Bo Huang nodded. "Look, I'm planning to give you to the Supreme Purity of Mount Kunlun as a mount. That Daoist is destined to become a Saint. If you become his mount, could your future possibly be bad?"
Si nodded. "Fine, I'll go. Put away your flames, and I'll definitely come with you."
"Ding. Friendly reminder: this fellow intends to challenge you to a fight for revenge after his cultivation improves in the future. The system recommends that you exercise caution." The system's voice rang out in Bo Huang's mind.
What's there to fear? Could he possibly improve faster than me? Never mind the system's training—even in terms of innate foundation, I'm stronger than him. Bo Huang replied disdainfully in his mind.
With Si taken care of, it was time to catch the Kui Ox... According to memories from his previous life, the Kui Ox was a huge black water buffalo surrounded by five-colored clouds, which was why it was also called the Five-Colored Kui Ox. Its two horns resembled crescent moons, and an Eight Trigrams pattern sat in the middle of its forehead.
Where would this ox appear? Bo Huang fell into deep thought... After about a quarter of an hour, he decided it would be better to ask the system.
System, search for the Kui Ox's location, Bo Huang said silently in his heart.
"Ding. Kui Ox located: Mount Liubo in the East Sea. Cultivation: Taiyi Golden Immortal," the system replied blandly.
Thus, Bo Huang activated the Golden Crow Transforming Rainbow Technique. In an instant—he failed to take off. Looking at Si, Bo Huang said, "Damn it, you dead ox, you're really heavy. Carrying you while flying is too inconvenient. Forget it, I'll ride you there. Destination: Mount Liubo in the East Sea. Let's go." As he spoke, he had Si reveal his true form and mounted him.
Before long, they arrived at Mount Liubo. Bo Huang jumped directly in front of the Kui Ox and said, "Kui Ox, I'm bringing you a great fortune. What do you think?"
The Kui Ox replied in a deep, muffled voice, "Who are you? What great fortune are you bringing me? This old ox is living quite comfortably on Mount Liubo."
Bo Huang said, "Are you sure? You're a divine beast, after all. One day, someone might strip your tendons, skin you, and refine you into pills or artifacts. Are you really safe?"
The Kui Ox flew into a rage. "Then what exactly is this great fortune you're bringing me? If it's no good, this old ox will give you a beating. How dare you curse me!"
Bo Huang said, "Fine. If what I say isn't right, I'll let you beat me up. I want to introduce you to a Saint as a mount. That counts as a great fortune, doesn't it?"
The Kui Ox was furious. "Isn't it good enough for me to roam free as a divine beast? Why would I become someone's mount? So what if they're a Saint? I'm not going. You brat, how dare you make fun of this old ox? Take my staff!" With that, he swung his Mixed Iron Staff at Bo Huang.
Bo Huang shook his head helplessly and grabbed the Mixed Iron Staff. "You think this lousy staff of yours is good enough for a fight?" Solar True Fire surged from his palm, directly melting the Kui Ox's Houtian Spiritual Treasure, the Mixed Iron Staff.
The Kui Ox stared blankly at Bo Huang. "You brat, coming to my place to show off your skills?" As he spoke, he transformed into his true form and charged at Bo Huang.
Bo Huang said, "I'm such a mild-mannered Golden Crow. Why do you all insist on forcing out my violent side?" As he spoke, he transformed into his true form. Fire blazed around him as he pinned the Kui Ox down with one claw.
In the end, Bo Huang was still stronger. He pressed the Kui Ox to the ground and said, "The rules of the Primordial Wilderness are that the winner gets the final say. Just follow me obediently. Once you become a Saint's mount, at least you'll be able to get a better weapon."
With those two oxen dealt with, the rest was easy. The Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage was currently in Bi Fang's possession, intended as a carriage for his father Di Jun. They were all family, so there should be no problem if he took it to build ties with Primordial Lord of Heaven, right?
Then Bo Huang made a trip to the residence of the demon god Bi Fang. After a long round of persuasion, he obtained the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage and also brought Bi Fang's son, Bi Yun, with him to Mount Kunlun.
Before long, Bo Huang returned to Mount Kunlun. "Master, two Martial Uncles, I brought you gifts!"
Then, before the eyes of Mount Kunlun's disciples, Bo Huang presented mounts to each of the Three Pure Ones. Seeing the Three Pure Ones value Bo Huang more and more, Duobao muttered to himself, "Bah. I'm ashamed to associate with a flatterer like him."
Unexpectedly, Jin Ling beside him heard those words. That night, she told Bo Huang, "Husband, Senior Brother Duobao seems to dislike you quite a bit. What should we do?"
Bo Huang's expression changed. "How do you know that?"
After thinking for a moment, Jin Ling still told him, "Before you came, Master and the two Martial Uncles valued Senior Brother the most. Ever since you married into Mount Kunlun, Senior Brother hasn't received as much favor as you... So he's somewhat dissatisfied with you."
Bo Huang said, "Oh, so what? Duobao hates me just because he isn't favored? That can't be it, right? At most, he called me a flatterer. It's nothing. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
Jin Ling said, "What are you thinking? I mean that if you suffer any grievances, don't endure them too much. I know that if a conflict truly arises, you shouldn't be afraid of Senior Brother, even though he really does have many treasures."
