CH 13

Hearing that absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon could let the immortals transform back, the Jade Emperor moved all the treasures that could collect the essence of the sun and the moon to the Yuqing Palace. However, there were not many such treasures in Tiangong, and after searching for a long time, they only found a Sun Essence Stone and a Jade Altar.

The Sun Essence Stone was the sun crystal nucleus left by Hou Yi’s shooting of the sun in ancient times. It contained the essence of the entire sun, but it could only be catalyzed by external forces, and the process was very slow. And that jade altar, named Tianjun, could balance the aura and retain the essence of the sun and the moon in it.

“Are there only a few such things in the huge Tiangong?” Bai Ze’s expression was full of disbelief.

“I don’t rely on this kind of cultivation. When I receive offerings, I will reward people with them.” The Jade Emperor scratched his head guiltily and glanced at the Yueyue cup tied with a red string around Bai Ze’s waist. This was how the treasures were given out before. So, there was not much left when it was time to use it.

Bai Ze slowly put away the crystal and the jade altar, it was always good to have treasures, and it was better than having nothing.

What needed to be done now was to force out the daily essence from the Sun Essence Stone, store it in Tianjun, and let the children absorb it. But the essence was invisible, even if he forced it to come out, how to put it in the jade altar?

“Wouldn’t it be good to melt the essence into an elixir.” Laojun curled his lips.

“Do you know how to make alchemy now?” Bai Ze glanced at him, if Laojun could also make alchemy, he wouldn’t need to be melancholy at all, just put it in an elixir for each of them.

Laojun: “Of course!”

“Crackling!” Yue Lao was seriously chewing the new jelly beans that Laojun had just baked.

Bai Ze: “…”

“Melt essence into the dumplings.” The Queen Mother hugged a bowl of green bamboo shoot dumplings cooked by Bai Ze as she ate sweetly.

“Dumplings…” Bai Ze looked at the jade altar in his hands. These children now replenished their physical strength by eating, which meant that eating was easier for their bodies to accept than sitting quietly. Then, it was also a way to incorporate the essence of the sun and the moon into food.

As a result, Bai Ze began to work on integrating essence into various foods. First, he put the sun essence into the bottom of the jade altar, then threw in the cooked dumplings, noodles, rice, fruits, etc., and then took it out when he felt that it was almost done.

However, the essence would not dissipate in the jade altar, but it would be seldom integrated in eating. The several children’s stomachs were stretched to the point of lying on the ground, but the essence could only grow one little finger.

Bai Ze raised his hand to rub Fu Li’s round belly and couldn’t help sighing.

Lord Tianzun squinted his eyes, enjoying the touch of the warm palm. Laojun who was lying on the side saw it, crawled over slowly, and wanted to get rubbed too, but received an eye slash from Tianzun, and suddenly dared not go forward, curled his lips, and stretched out his small short hand to rub his own stomach.

“Is there no other way? You can’t grind up the essence stone and swallow it?” Bai Ze created a stream of clear spring water on his fingertips, washing away the sun essence stone contaminated with the aroma of various foods. The golden stone was crystal clear, with golden streamers flashing from time to time inside. It contained the essence of the entire sun, no matter how small it was ground to, the power would burst the meridians of ordinary immortals, thus these children couldn’t bear it at all.

Fu Li raised his eyes, looked at the frowning Bai Ze, sat up slowly, and beckoned. The Heavenly Book, which was leaning against the wall as a blackboard, suddenly flew over and floated above Bai Ze’s head. “You can ask the heavenly book.”

“Hey, that’s right!” Bai Ze’s eyes lit up, how could he forget this omniscient treasure! He hurriedly brought the Heavenly Book to his face, “Heavenly Book, Heavenly Book, what do we use to preserve the essence that flows out of the Sun crystal?”

The Heavenly Book floated lightly in mid-air, unmoved.

“It ignored me.” Bai Ze looked at Fu Li aggrievedly.

Fu Li: “…Touch it with your hands and pass on your spiritual knowledge.”

“Uh…” Bai Ze coughed dryly. He was so stupid just now that he spoke directly to the book. As a book, the book couldn’t “listen” to him.

After the embarrassment, Bai Ze conveyed his question to the Heavenly Book with his spiritual sense. The Heavenly Book was silent for a moment, and then began to emit circles of light. Then, the snow-white pages began to flip quickly. After a long time, they stopped at a certain page. Bai Ze hurriedly took a closer look, but it was still a page without any words, and nothing could be seen.

Fu Li tried to look forward, but the book floated too high, level with Bai Ze’s chest. As a kid who only reached Bai Ze’s waist, he could only try his best to jump up, but he still couldn’t see it.

Bai Ze stretched out his hand, hugged Fu Li, and let him read the heavenly book.

Fu Li stared at the blank page for half a stick of incense, then lightly closed his eyes, put the thumb of his left hand against the root of his ring finger, quickly calculated, and after a long time, slowly opened his eyes: “Yuye and Qiongjiang can melt the essence of the sun crystal, and the jade altar can hold the fine wine.”

It meant that good wine could be used to fuse the essence stimulated by the Sun crystal, and the wine could be stored in a jade altar to keep the essence.

So that’s how it was…

Bai Ze immediately went to the Jade Emperor to ask for jade liquid and fine nectar. Yuye and Qiongjiang were actually two kinds of wine. Although they were both made of jade juice, in Yuye the jade liquid was mixed with water from Xingzi Waterfall, which had a light taste; while Qiongjiang wine was mixed with Jiuhuazhi juice, which had a stronger taste.

Yuye was usually only given by the Jade Emperor at the banquet, and everyone could drink it; while Qiongjiang was drunk only by the Jade Emperor himself and was not given to anyone.

“No, I can only give you two jars of Yuye, no more.” The Jade Emperor heard about Bai Ze’s purpose and held the wine jug in his hand without letting go.

“Qiongjiang is the finer wine, so it’s easier to fuse with the essence from the sun crystal.” Bai Ze blinked and said frankly.

“Nonsense, the water from the Xingzi Waterfall is better at melting the essence of the sun and the moon. You think I’m a fool!” The Jade Emperor snorted coldly, and waved Xian’e to give Bai Ze two jars of Yuye wine.

What a miser… Bai Ze left Lingxiao Hall with two jars of wine in his arms and couldn’t help curling his lips. He hadn’t had wine yet, it must be delicious…

Fu Li stood outside the hall waiting for him and when he saw Bai Ze coming out, he stretched out his hand consciously.

Bai Ze was taken aback, Tianzun wanted to hug him? Having been with Fu Li for so long, this guy never liked being hugged by him, every time he was hugged forcibly, he was either noisy or acted blind, this was the first time he took the initiative to hug him. Looking at the white and tender, little Tianzun lord, Bai Ze couldn’t refuse at all, and immediately threw away the wine jar in his hand to hug the child.

“Be careful!” Fu Li immediately stopped Bai Ze’s stupid behavior, took the opportunity to withdraw his outstretched hand, and lowered his head. During the battle in Pantao garden, Bai Ze always felt that he had consumed too much and had to hug him wherever he went. He gradually got used to it, and just now he took the initiative to stretch out his hand! It was really… too embarrassing.

Bai Ze quickly hugged the wine jar, looked at Fu Li with his head down, and happened to see a pair of small pink ears, and suddenly felt his heart itch even more. He didn’t know if it was because of the marriage line, but he paid more attention to Fu Li than before, and he could see all kinds of emotions from that expressionless little face. At this moment, Tianzun should be shy?

This recognition made Bai Ze inexplicably excited, and he squatted down with a smile: “I have both hands occupied, so I can’t hug you anymore. Come and sit on my shoulder.” The divine beast Bai Ze, not everyone could ride him.

Fu Li wanted to refuse at first, but when he saw the circle of snow-white fur on Bai Ze’s collar and those eyes full of expectation, he agreed by accident.

Then, the children of Yuqing Kindergarten saw Mr. Bai Ze holding two large wine jars and carrying a shrunken Celestial Lord on his shoulders, walking over arrogantly.

“I want to ride too!” Li Jing threw away the bamboo horse in his hand, jumped and ran over, then grabbing Bai Ze’s clothes, he started climbing up.

“Hey, don’t make trouble!” Bai Ze hurriedly supported the wine jar with his mana, put it aside, and then frantically picked off the little guys who had climbed onto him.

Take off one, and the other climbed up again, no matter how much he coaxed, it did not work. In the end, the helpless Bai Ze had no choice but to become a beast of burden and let the children ride on him, and carry them around the Yuqing Palace.

But Fu Li refused to sit aside any longer, standing on the jade bridge, watching the furry mythical beast circle around the yard with several noisy children on its back, his thin lips gradually pursed into a straight line.

“Run one more lap!” After running enough laps, Li Jing still felt that it was not enough and wanted to play, so he clamored to run another lap. Laojun and Queen Mother also agreed, but Yue Lao didn’t say anything, and was still concentrating on braiding Bai Ze’s fur.

“Come down!” Fu Li said with a cold face.

They didn’t know why Tianzun suddenly got angry, but the children were a little afraid of him, and when they heard him speak, they all crawled down obediently.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Ze turned into a human form with a smile, and walked in front of Fu Li.

“Wine.” Fu Li pointed to the two wine jars.

Bai Ze sighed secretly, Tianzun was indeed the most reliable, even if he became a child, he always remembered the important business, completely different from those other children.

“We haven’t played enough, why don’t you let us play?” Li Jing said unconvinced.

“He is a gentleman, you must know how to respect your teacher, how decent is it to ride on a gentleman?” Fu Li snorted coldly, raising his delicate chin.

“You are allowed to ride, but we are not allowed to ride?” The Queen Mother was not happy, she stepped forward and stretched out her short hand, then she pushed Fu Li.

Fu Li stood firmly, but was pushed crookedly, and instead of falling, he grabbed the Queen Mother’s wrist: “Don’t dare to be rude to me, this lord…”

“What will you do?” The Queen mother was not afraid of him, staring at him, she started arguing with him.

Fu Li was silent for a moment, “… I will tell the Jade Emperor. “

Laojun found it very strange that this crazy girl also had a weakness? Immediately he burst out laughing, feeling that he had mastered a new method to restrain the Queen Mother.

Bai Ze didn’t pay attention to the children’s dispute, he was concentrating on studying the Sun Essence crystal. He poured the jade liquid into Tianjun, and the spiritual energy contained in it would be locked by the jade altar and could not escape. As for how to incorporate the sun crystal…

“Plop”, Bai Ze threw the whole stone into the jade altar and sealed the lid.

“Can this work?” Yue Lao leaned over curiously.

“This…” Bai Ze felt a little guilty. He really didn’t know how to stimulate the essence, so he could only throw it in for a soak. But as a man responsible for children, he couldn’t seem so irresponsible, so he pretended to ask deeply, “Then what do you think is missing?”

Yue Lao frowned and took out a piece of red string from his sleeve: “The cover should be tied with red string.”

Bai Ze: “…You are right.”

The author has something to say:

Small theater:

Laojun: I haven’t played enough yet

Fu Li: You are not allowed to ride

Queen Mother: Why don’t you let us ride?

Fu Li: My wife, I am the only one who can ride

Bai Ze:???
