Chapter 53: Chapter 53, The Three Pure Ones Return to the Mountain

"If Eldest Uncle comes back and sees that his mount has been killed for meat, that would really blow things up. Thinking about it like that, hmm, Bai Jin actually kind of looks forward to Jin Ling killing the Green Bull."

Bai Jin quickly shielded this dangerous idea in his mind. He himself is a good person, how could he have such thoughts? He explained, "Senior Brother, you misunderstood. This is not a Fierce Beast; it’s Eldest Uncle’s mount."

Duo Bao voiced his doubts, "Eldest Uncle’s mount, this one? Bai Jin, did you find this mount for Eldest Uncle?"

"Senior Brother, are you doubting our Master’s taste? Do you realize that?" said Bai Jin sternly.

Duo Bao was taken aback. He was sure that such a bizarre-looking thing was not what Eldest Uncle would like, but he really didn’t dare to act rashly. What if it was true? After earlier lessons, Duo Bao had become somewhat more prudent, at least not impulsive.

Bai Jin handed the reins to Shi Ji, instructing, "Take it to the Taiqing Peak and make sure it is well-settled."

"Yes, Senior Brother!" Shi Ji responded, taking the reins and said with a smile, "Junior Brother, follow me to the Eldest Uncle’s place."

Green Bull blew two streams of hot air from its nostrils, glaring at Duo Bao, "Chubby, I’ve got my eyes on you now."

The facial expressions of many disciples were bizarre as they struggled to suppress their laughter. Chubby? Looking at it this way, the Senior Brother indeed looks rather well-endowed.

Duo Bao’s face turned livid.

Shi Ji, holding back laughter, led the Green Bull towards the Taiqing Peak.

Bai Jin drifted towards the Upper Pure Peak. Upon approaching Duo Bao, he noticed several lumps on Duo Bao’s head, and delightedly said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, your Dao Heng has greatly improved."

Duo Bao’s face slightly brightened as he spoke, "Going out with Master seems to have taught you some lessons." Being forced by Master to stay in seclusion and constantly imitate the character for Dao had indeed greatly advanced his Dao Heng, feeling nearly close to the Daluo Realm.

Bai Jin praised, "Such an obvious thing, how could I, as your junior brother, not notice?!

Senior Brother shows great promise, given time, you’ll definitely soar to the heavens and become a Great Power who stirs the wind and clouds of Heaven and Earth."

Duo Bao’s smiling face stiffened, with these words echoing in his mind: promising figure~ promising figure~ promising figure~ promising figure~

"Senior Brother," "Senior Brother~" two calls resonated beside him.

Duo Bao suddenly snapped back to reality, Bai Jin had already disappeared, with Long-Eared Ding Guangxian and Ling Ya standing beside.

Duo Bao roared, "Bai Jin, you dare to insult me? Come out and fight! Today we must settle things for good." Years of cultivating calmness instantly shattered.

Long-Eared Ding Guang rushed to stop him, "Eldest Brother, don’t be impulsive! He’s just trying to provoke you."

"Exactly! Eldest Brother, there must be a plot!" Ling Ya also hurriedly interjected.

"Don’t stop me, today it’s either his death or mine!" Duo Bao’s angered voice echoed around the Upper Pure Peak.

At the quiet lakeside near Upper Pure Peak, Bai Jin and the Holy Mother were walking up the mountain.

The Holy Mother said speechlessly, "You! You just got back and you’ve already infuriated Senior Brother half to death."

Bai Jin exclaimed wronged, "Heaven and Earth are my witnesses! I was just praising him, who knew what madness struck him? Senior Sister, don’t you think our Senior Brother has gone mad? Maybe we should suggest to Master to confine Senior Brother!"

The Holy Mother rolled her eyes—mad because of you, ’promising figure’, just imagine the bumps on Duo Bao’s head that won’t go down, she couldn’t help snorting with laughter.

Bai Jin, looking speechless at the Holy Mother, thought, I saw you giggling, Senior Brother wants to duel me, and you’re actually gloating? Is this how you should behave as a Senior Sister?

The Holy Mother, containing her amusement, advised, "In the future, don’t mention anything about ’figures’ in front of Senior Brother."

"Why?"

Wudang Saint pondered for a moment, suppressing a smile as she spoke, "Well, the sharp prominence on Elder Brother’s head was flicked out by Master and the two Eldest Uncles."

Bai Jin’s mouth opened slightly in shock, picturing a scene in his mind: Duobao squatting on the ground, trembling, with Master and the two Eldest Uncles standing beside him, looking down coldly, then stretching out their saintly hands, each flicking his head, causing Duobao to yelp in chaos.

Bai Jin quickly shook his head to rid his mind of the image. Don’t think about it, don’t think—it’s too beautiful, will make him laugh, no, can’t hold it back.

"Hahaha~" Bai Jin laughed out loudly, tears in his eyes, the image in his mind becoming even clearer.

After a long laugh, Bai Jin slowly stopped, and the two reached the front of Bai Jin’s palace.

Wudang Saint stopped, smiling as she spoke, "Junior brother has been out for quite long, take a good rest now! I won’t disturb Junior Brother any longer."

"Senior Sister, take care!"

Bai Jin watched as Wudang Saint departed, then headed back into his palace, lying straight on the bed—so tired! Yet completely unable to sleep, his mind echoing with questions, not a single clue in sight.

...

The next morning, the atmosphere in the Kunlun Mountain Range suddenly shifted, filled with the dignified aura of saints, which was quickly withdrawn.

All disciples of Kunlun Mountain looked towards the summit, each of them inexplicably excited—Master and the Uncles were back.

Bai Jin immediately leaped out of bed. When in doubt, ask the experts. Though he didn’t understand, surely the Master would know!

With a boom, the palace gates swung open, and Bai Jin swiftly flew out, maneuvering the auspicious cloud towards Upper Pure Peak.

White Cloud landed in front of Shangqing Palace, and Bai Jin bowed respectfully, saying, "Disciple Bai Jin seeks an audience with Master!"

The palace gates creaked open, and a voice came from inside, "Come in!"

Bai Jin immediately entered the palace.

This scene was precisely witnessed by Duobao, Wudang Saint, and Jin Ling.

Duobao’s face darkened, arriving late again, damn this flattery game, always running too fast on the road of flattery.

Inside Shangqing Palace, Bai Jin kneeled on the cushion, solemnly bowing down, "Congratulations to Master for attaining the Dao Fruit of a Primordial Saint, henceforth untouched by karma, eternally indestructible."

Tongtian laughed heartily, "Your contributions also played a part in my enlightenment, rise up!"

Bai Jin straightened up, grinning as he ran forward, directly sitting on the steps below Tongtian, closest to his thighs.

Tongtian said speechlessly, "With a perfectly good cushion unoccupied, why sit here? You lack the steadiness of an Outer Disciple Leader."

Bai Jin nonchalantly said, "Whoever wants this role of Outer Disciple Leader can have it; I just want to be by Master’s side."

Tongtian smiled slightly, his gaze softening a bit. He believed Bai Jin’s words were true. Among these disciples, Bai Jin was indeed the closest and most respectful to him, albeit sometimes infuriating him to no end.

Bai Jin looked up at Tongtian and said, "Master, I have used merits to refine an item and want to consult you about it."

"What item? Bring it out and let me see."

Bai Jin extended his hand, and a Xuanhuang-colored coin appeared in his palm, flying towards Tongtian, who caught it in his hand.
