Chapter 963: The Regretful Patriarch of Hell!
Inside the Jade Emperor Temple, in a relatively remote stone room, the surrounding stone walls were embedded with dense red stones, illuminating the entire stone room.
Meanwhile, the layout of the room was very monotonous. Other than the meditation cushion, there was only a large cauldron, a large bronze cauldron that was more than three meters tall.
Formations were inscribed under the huge cauldron and there were many fire origin stones laid out. At that moment, scorching flames shot out from the fire origin stones.
Beside the huge cauldron was a young man who seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old. He was tied up and lying flat on the ground.
“Sigh, a single misstep can lead to eternal regret!”
The man’s youthful face revealed a trace of an honesty that did not match his age, “Why did I do that?!
“To think that I, the Patriarch of Hell, was once a Tribulation Stage powerhouse. Now, I’m going to be thrown into the cauldron by that green ox and refined into a pill!”
The young man grumbled as he struggled. As he struggled, the golden rope around him started to shrink.
Who else could it be but the Patriarch of Hell?
He had rushed over upon hearing that a mutant fruit had appeared on Mount Tai. To his surprise, he discovered that this mutant fruit was actually a Purple Embryo Fruit. It was extremely beneficial to his cultivation.
He was very arrogant and completely disregarded the members of the five consortiums. Thinking that there was still some time before the Purple Embryo Fruit ripened, he strolled around the peak of Mount Tai.
In the end, he finally discovered the wonders of the Jade Emperor Temple. He could not hold back his curiosity and used everything he had to tear open the formation and enter the Jade Emperor Temple.
Before he could see clearly, someone kicked him from behind. The force of the kick was so great that he fainted. It was so fast that he did not even have time to react.
When he woke up, he realized that he was tied up. The rope that tied him up was similar to the Immortal Binding Rope.
Following that, an ox suddenly appeared, touching and pinching him. As it touched him, it laughed, “What a pure body of spiritual energy. Coincidentally, the supreme treasure pill that I want to refine is still lacking a main ingredient. It’s you.”
During this time, the patriarch tried to be cool. First, he pretended to be a powerhouse and threatened the other party to let him go. Then, he admitted defeat and called the other party ‘daddy’. However, the other party did not buy it at all.
“Sigh. Goodbye, my Japanese ladies!”
The patriarch sighed softly. Before he died, the ones he could not bear to part with the most were actually those ladies that he had fun with.
“My, my. I’ve finally gathered everything!”
At this moment, an extremely excited laugh suddenly rang out from the empty room.
After that, a green ox brandished a whip and walked over in an extremely showy manner. There was a medicinal cauldron hanging on each of its long horns, and it was filled with a thick medicinal fragrance.
Boom…
The two cauldrons landed heavily on the ground.
“Hey, darling.”
The green ox looked at the Patriarch of Hell on the ground and grinned, “See what I’ve prepared?”
Darling…
The patriarch shuddered upon hearing that.
As the ox spoke, it reached out its hooves and took out an item from a medicinal cauldron, “Do you know what this is? This is a knotweed that has been around for more than 2,000 years. It contains endless essence, and a mortal can get rid of a hundred illnesses with just a whiff of it and live a long life.
“This is a lotus seed consolidated from the Violet Jade Spirit Lotus. Just one seed is enough to increase a cultivator’s power by 60 years!”
It picked up another item and said, “This is the Phoenix Blood Sacred Fruit. It’s said to have grown from the blood of the phoenix. My old master used a lot of effort to obtain it, but it’s a pity that I got it.
“This is the Sevenglow Lotus…
“This is the Heart of the Bodhisattva Tree…”
The Patriarch of Hell’s eyes turned red as he watched it show off. He did not hide his envy at all.
‘D*mn it, I didn’t expect this old ox to be so rich. Anything in the cultivation world is something that can only be chanced upon by luck!
‘If any of them were given to me, it would be enough to make my cultivation base soar. D*mn it, where did this weirdo come from?!
‘Could it be the mount of some Taoist saint?’
Facing the patriarch’s glowing red eyes, the green ox rubbed its hands and chuckled, “Don’t be jealous. Don’t worry, I’ll refine you with these supreme herbs later.”
“Do you know who I am?”
The patriarch opened his mouth to scold without hesitation, “Three Pure Ones are my brothers. I was Hong Jun’s master. How dare you touch me…”
Pow…
A powerful kick landed.
The patriarch saw stars, “You dog…”
Pow!
Another kick came.
The green ox said in all seriousness, “You’re wrong. I’m not a dog. To be precise, I’m an ox!”
The Patriarch of Hell was speechless.
After that, the green ox no longer paid attention to him. Instead, it stood guard beside the huge cauldron. Strong wind and flame blew from its nose, as if it wanted to heat up the cauldron earlier.
The Patriarch of Hell really panicked when he saw that. His eyes rolled as he said, “Well, old ox, I’m about to die too. Can you fulfill a tiny wish of mine?”
Only then did the green ox turn around to look at him.
“It’s just that I have a pack of cigarettes in my pocket. I’ve been trapped by you for almost a month, and I’m addicted to smoking. Can you let me have two puffs?”
“What’s cigarette?” The green ox immediately came over curiously.
“You’ll know when you take it out. It’s in the left pocket of my shirt. Yes, that bag!”
The green ox followed the hint and took out a pack of cigarettes. His eyes widened, “Marlboro? This thing is called Marlboro?”
“Stop wasting time. Give me one now. The rest is yours!” The patriarch urged.
The green ox thought about it and did not want to lose out. It simply took out one stick and placed it in the patriarch’s mouth. Then, it lit one for itself.
“Ahh…”
They both took a deep breath.
The patriarch said with a look of enjoyment, “How do you feel?”
The green ox took a puff and the cigarette was instantly reduced to ashes. Without saying a word, it took out another two sticks and took another puff.
“So cool!”
It closed its eyes as if it was enjoying it, and its expression was one of intoxication, “This is truly an immortal medicine!”
“That’s right!”
The patriarch’s expressions shifted a few times, “I’m not afraid to tell you that this item is incomparably precious out there. It’s not inferior to a supreme medicine. Even the supreme medicines that you showed off to me just now can barely be exchanged for a packet.”
“Really?” The green ox was in disbelief.
The Patriarch of Hell felt a little guilty and said hurriedly, “Actually, I forgot to tell you something. You need an incantation before smoking.
“If you add this incantation, the effect will be ten times better than not chanting the incantation. Taking one puff is equivalent to taking ten one puffs!”
Pow!
The ox’s hooves came again, kicking the patriarch until he saw stars and his face was swollen.
Only then did the green ox move its hooves away, “Tell me, now!”
