Chapter 377 White Fairy

"Old Zhou, what are you doing?" Li Xuan asked with a smile.

"Nothing, just testing the ability of my companion pet, but the result was disappointing." Zhou Wen said truthfully.

"What kind of companion pet is this? Does it need to be abused in order to unleash its power?" Li Xuan became even more curious.

Zhou Wen, however, looked depressed. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I was wrong. That's it. I'm going back first."

"No, I have an appointment with Feng Qiuyan and Gudian. I will take you to a nice place later." Li Xuan said.

"Where are we going?" Zhou Wen asked.

Li Xuan took out a black pass and said, "See? This is the pass to Baixian Temple. It's very difficult to get. Only five people can go in. You, me, Alai, Feng Qiuyan, and Gudian. The five of us will go together."

"Baixian Temple? Is there such a dimensional field in the academy?" Zhou Wen thought about it carefully, but he couldn't figure out that there was such a dimensional field in the academy.

"It's not in our college, but it's in Luoyang City. It's a good place. You'll know when you go there." Li Xuan said mysteriously.

"Baixian Temple, could it be that the White Snake is enshrined there?" Zhou Wen had heard his grandfather tell the story of the White Snake when he was a child. When he heard the word Baixian, he thought of that story.

"What are you thinking about? The place where White Snake was suppressed is called the ** Tower. It's on the edge of West Lake, far away from us." Li Xuan explained when he saw Feng Qiuyan and Gudian hadn't arrived yet. "The so-called White Immortal is one of the five folk immortals: Fox, Yellow, White, Willow, and Gray. Fox refers to the Fox Immortal, which you should know. It's the fox that has cultivated to become an immortal. It's the most common in stories. Yellow Immortal is the weasel, a very evil creature. Willow Immortal refers to the Snake Immortal, Gray Immortal is the mouse, and White Immortal is actually the Hedgehog Immortal. These five immortals are more prevalent in places further north. We don't see many Five Immortal Temples here, but there is a White Immortal Temple in Luoyang City. Now it has become a dimensional domain and has always been under the control of the military. Passes there are very difficult to get. I was lucky enough to get one by accident, so I'll take you to see it."

"Unexpected gains?" Zhou Wen stared at Li Xuan with a strange expression.

Li Xuan knew what Zhou Wen was thinking and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry, this has nothing to do with my second brother. Besides, no one will die in the Baixian Temple, you will just suffer a little."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen knew nothing about the Baixian Temple and had no idea what it looked like.

"There's a special power within the White Immortal Temple. Once inside, every step feels like being pricked by needles. The further you walk, the more intense the pain becomes. Most people don't go too deep, at most leaving bloody holes on the soles of their feet, as if they were pierced by numerous needles. But if you force your way in, you're in for a real treat. I heard there was an epic-level expert, skilled in body movements, who, relying on his exceptional flying abilities, flew directly into the main hall of the White Immortal Temple. However, upon entering, he let out a scream and fell to the ground, his body covered in needle holes, unrecognizable as a human. Blood was everywhere, and he died instantly."

"It sounds like this Baixian Temple is very dangerous?" Zhou Wen really doesn't like going to dangerous places.

"As long as you don't force your way in, it's actually not a big problem. Just walk inside from the door honestly and walk as far as you can. If you feel you can't stand it anymore, just turn around and come out. As long as you turn back and don't move forward, you won't get hurt anymore. If your endurance is strong enough and you can walk to the incense burner in front of the hall and light a stick of incense in the burner, you may get a companion egg of Baixian." Li Xuan said.

"What level is Baixian's companion egg?" Zhou Wen asked.

"The level is not important. In fact, Baixian's companion egg is only legendary, but its fate is extraordinary. If you can bring a Baixian companion pet, it may be a life-saving thing in the future. You only need to see the strict control of the military to know that it must be a good thing." Li Xuan said here and deliberately stopped talking, obviously waiting for Zhou Wen to ask him.

Zhou Wen had no choice but to follow his lead and ask, "What is Bai Xian's fate?"

"Bai Xian's destiny is quite powerful. It's called Immunity to All Diseases. With a Bai Xian companion pet, you can basically guarantee that you won't get sick. You know how terrible illness is. Although cultivators are physically strong and generally don't get sick, when they experience various harsh environments in the dimensional realm, there will be times when their bodies can't withstand it. If they get sick, it will be more fatal than for ordinary people. This is when Bai Xian's value is reflected."

Li Xuan continued, "Also, Bai Xian's companion pet has the ability to find medicine. Although it can't fight, it can clearly distinguish the exotic plants in the other dimension and know which are poisonous and which are medicinal. If there's nothing to eat, it can rely on Bai Xian's help and survive by eating herbs. It's better than starving to death, and there's no need to worry about accidentally eating poisonous plants."

"Now that you mention it, this Baixian is really a good pet." Zhou Wen thought what Li Xuan said was right. Being immune to all diseases is indeed a good fate, not to mention that this fate can also assist the owner.

Even if you are a cultivator, no one can guarantee that you will not get sick. In various harsh environments, it will be very troublesome if you get sick. With Bai Xian, you don’t have to worry about getting sick anymore.

After a while, Feng Qiuyan and Gudian came over one after another, and the five of them left the academy together. Li Xuan had already prepared passes for them to leave the academy. After leaving the academy smoothly, Alai drove the four of them to Baixian Temple.

The Baixian Temple was much smaller than Zhou Wen had imagined. It looked like an ordinary courtyard house, but the style was slightly different. An old wooden plaque was hung above the dilapidated wooden door, with the words "Baixian Temple" written on it, but the paint on the words was almost falling off.

After Li Xuan handed in the pass, the five people were able to walk to the gate of Baixian Temple. The gate was already open, and the small courtyard inside could be seen at a glance. There was a small house on the east and west sides, but it seemed that they were only used to store miscellaneous items and no other gods were enshrined there.

The larger room opposite the gate is the hall dedicated to Baixian.

In front of the big house, there was a stone incense burner, which was almost full of incense ash.

Li Xuan gave each of them three incense sticks, then took three incense sticks himself, took off his shoes and put them at the door, and was about to walk inside.

"Why did you take off your shoes?" Feng Qiuyan asked in confusion.

Li Xuan said, "My feet will be covered in bloody holes. I'm not afraid of the blood, but getting my shoes and socks dirty is not a good idea."

Zhou Wen and the others thought it made sense, so they followed Li Xuan's example, took off their shoes and socks, and walked barefoot into the yard.

Li Xuan was walking in front. As soon as he stepped in, his face changed, but he still gritted his teeth and walked in. However, when he lifted his foot, he could clearly see blood marks on his feet. The spots of blood formed the shape of a footprint.

I can’t code anymore. This is all I can do today. Sorry.
