Xuantian shook his head and said, "I don't really like this thing either. Let's take it to the Money House to cash it in! Then, we can exchange it for something useful to us."
Ao Yue nodded and said, "Exactly. I want to exchange it for a method to resolve the Dragon Clan's karmic debt."
Xuantian nodded and said, "Alright, but my share goes to you Dragon Clan."
Ao Yue laughed heartily and said, "No problem, no problem." Then, the two of them chatted cheerfully all the way to the Great Desolation Money House.
Inside the Money House, Hongyun looked at the two with excitement and said, "What would you two like to exchange for today?"
Ao Yue took out the Six Roots Pure Bamboo and said, "This item, I want to exchange it for an opportunity for the Dragon Clan's great prosperity."
Hongyun looked at the Six Roots Pure Bamboo and felt a bit stumped. He thought to himself, This thing of yours is valuable, but it's not enough to exchange for the Dragon Clan's great prosperity.
Helpless, Hongyun said, "Please wait a moment. Let me deduce this. After all, the Dragon Clan's great prosperity is difficult."
After a while, Bo Huang arrived at the Money House and said, "Ao Yue? You've broken through on your own, that's good. In the next Great Tribulation, I will naturally plan for the Dragon Clan. You don't need to pay with Spiritual Treasures. Take it back."
Ao Yue was overjoyed and handed the Six Roots Pure Bamboo to Bo Huang, saying, "How could I let you work for free? I'll give you this bamboo. I snatched it anyway." Then he left with Xuantian.
Hongyun watched Ao Yue leave and said, "This fellow has good dragon character."
Bo Huang nodded and said, "Indeed. This dragon will surely achieve great things in the future, I'm telling you. By the way, Zhunti has been released?"
Hongyun nodded and said, "You don't need to worry. With Zhunti's injuries... Jieyin couldn't even recognize him. As for his specific appearance, even I, a Saint, can't find words to describe it. You can see for yourself." As he spoke, Hongyun threw out a recording stone.
Bo Huang looked at the image in the recording stone and burst out laughing. He thought to himself, These Ancestor Witches really went at him hard. They beat Zhunti so badly that his descriptor has to be 'a lump'...
Meanwhile, on Mount Sumeru, Zhunti was severely injured, his Origin damaged, making it difficult to heal. Jieyin, having no other choice, carried Zhunti towards Zixiao Palace.
In front of Zixiao Palace, Haotian stopped Jieyin and said, "Stop. What is that lump you're carrying? Filthy things are not allowed in Zixiao Palace."
Zhunti's mind completely broke. He thought to himself, You're good, Haotian. Just you wait until I become a Saint, and I'll get my revenge.
Jieyin said kindly, "Junior Brother Haotian, this is Junior Brother Zhunti... We can't heal him after he was beaten like this, so we can only bring him to the Dao Ancestor."
Haotian nodded and said, "I see. Then you may enter." With that, he opened the gate of Zixiao Palace.
Jieyin saw Hong Jun with a pained expression and immediately started crying, "Dao Ancestor, you must bring justice for Junior Brother Zhunti!"
Hong Jun looked bewildered and said, "Justice? What happened to Zhunti?" Then his eyes sharpened, and he said, "Is that lump you're holding Zhunti?"
Jieyin nodded and said, "It is indeed Junior Brother Zhunti."
Hong Jun was speechless and said, "The Witch Clan has gone too far..." As he spoke, a trace of the Power of Creation flashed through his hand, repairing Zhunti's body.
Before long, Zhunti recovered his human form and said, "Thank you, Dao Ancestor."
Hong Jun nodded and said, "No need. You two return to the Western Sect. Remember, become Saints as soon as possible. If Merit is insufficient, you can make up for it with a Great Vow. I will lend it to you."
Jieyin and Zhunti accepted the order and returned to Mount Sumeru. On the way, Jieyin said to Zhunti, "Junior Brother, if we don't have enough Merit to become Saints, we will owe the Witch Clan a great deal."
Zhunti immediately became furious and said, "What? I owe them? I was beaten by them for so long, and I still owe them? Hmph, when I become a Saint, I will surely get revenge."
