Chapter 81 Main Quest 6: Enroll in the Immortal Arts Learning Class

Sasuke and Naruto made rapid progress. After a while, they were able to suppress Hashirama in his Earth Reincarnation state. In order to maintain balance, Shingon would often join the battle.

Shingon's wooden man moves are very strange, and often catch Sasuke and Naruto off guard. After being locked up by Shingon's grappling techniques several times, Sasuke came up with a way to deal with it, which is to use the Flying Thunder God Technique and teleport with Susanoo.

Although this move is effective, it consumes a lot of chakra, and for Sasuke, the amount of chakra is his shortcoming.

Now that the shortcomings have been discovered, they must be made up for. Shingon thought of the magic that Naruto practiced in Mount Myoboku. He asked Orochimaru if he could practice magic in the Ryuchi Cave. If so, he would also enroll Sasuke in a magic class.

"The White Snake Immortal doesn't have the good temper of the Toad." said Orochimaru.

Those who practice fairy arts at Myoboku Mountain can apply toad oil to enhance the practitioner's perception of natural energy and help synthesize fairy chakra. In addition, toads will also assist on the side. Once the practitioner absorbs too much natural energy and becomes a frog, the assisting toad will help release the natural energy.

But Longdi Cave is different. If you want to see the White Snake Immortal in Longdi Cave, you need to pass the trial of Longdi Cave first.

After passing the trial and meeting the White Snake Immortal, the subsequent training will not be easy. The White Snake Immortal will use his fangs to inject natural energy into the practitioners. Those who cannot withstand the natural energy and turn into snakes will be eaten.

Shingon couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He asked Orochimaru, "Where is the Ryuchi Cave? I'll go talk to the Snake Hermit."

Sasuke and Ryuchidou signed a blood pact. Shingon felt that since there was a contract, both parties should abide by it. Ryuchidou couldn't just recruit people but not teach them well.

Orochimaru looked at Shingon who was frowning slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously: "Let me lead the way. I think Ryuchi Cave will definitely welcome Shingon-kun's visit."

The White Snake Immortal has a strange temperament and is very difficult to get along with. His summoning beast Manabu also has a bad temper. It asks him for sacrifices every time it summons, which has always been a headache for him. Now that Shingon is going to visit Ryuchi Cave, Orochimaru is really looking forward to it.

Orochimaru personally led the way and took Shingo and Sasuke to Ryuchi Cave.

The gatekeepers of Longdi Cave, who were also three subordinates of the White Snake Immortal, immediately jumped out to stop the outsiders when they saw them coming, saying, "Only those who have passed the test can continue forward."

"I'm not here to take part in the trial." Zhenyan was used to talking about the truth first. He explained his purpose first, "I came here to consult the Snake Immortal about the cultivation of immortal arts."

"No matter who it is, if they want to see the White Snake Immortal, they have to pass the test of the three of us."

"That..." Zhenyan looked at the three snakes in front of him, his mind full of the snake spirit in the Calabash Brothers.

"Wouldn't it be more appropriate for you to call yourselves the Three Snakes?" Zhenyan couldn't help but ask.

Three snakes: “…………”

"How dare you!" The three snakes felt offended and said, "Don't even think about getting through here today!"

"Oh, we won't break in." Shingon was very cooperative. After all, he came to register Sasuke for a class. He hadn't even met the head teacher yet, but he smashed someone else's classroom first. That would be so rude.

Zhenyan smiled politely and looked at the three guarding snakes in front of him: "I would like you to take us there."

Three snakes: “…………”

The three snakes had never seen such a rude trialist before. They decided not to waste words and directly attacked the truth. However, before they could touch the truth, a domineering voice came into their minds and dominated their consciousness: "Take us to see the snake fairy."

With Zhenyan coming forward to "talk the truth", the group then had a smooth journey and successfully arrived at a temple deep in Longdi Cave.

The White Snake Immortal was inside the temple. Zhenyan did not hesitate and pushed the door open and walked in.

There was no Buddha statue inside the dark and empty temple. Instead, there was a giant white-scaled snake coiled on a stone chair. The snake stared at the intruder, its golden vertical pupils flashing coldly.

Zhenyan was also looking at the big snake. He stared at the white snake again and again. This image was really fascinating. He couldn't help but ask, "Does the snake fairy know Xu Xian?"

White Snake Immortal: “???”

Looking at the reaction of the White Snake Immortal, Zhenyan knew that the secret code did not match. He felt a little regretful, but when he thought about the purpose of his visit, he put on a friendly smile again.

"Hello, Snake Immortal. We came here this time to enroll Sasuke in a fairy art class, but I heard that the teaching method in Ryuchi Cave is a bit rough, so I would like to ask if you have any gentler teaching methods here?" Shingon asked the White Snake Immortal.

White Snake Immortal: “…………”

Ryuchi Cave, Myoboku Mountain and Shigatani Forest are collectively known as the Three Holy Places. The immortals in the three holy places have all lived for thousands of years. To be able to live for so long, the three immortals all have some special abilities. For example, the ability of the Great Toad Immortal in Myoboku Mountain is prophecy, and the ability of the White Snake Immortal, who is as famous as the Great Toad Immortal, is to listen to the voices of the ninja world...

The White Snake Immortal has not used his ability to inquire about the situation in the ninja world for a long time, because in recent years a voice has appeared frequently, and every time it appears, it gives it a headache...

The White Snake Immortal didn't know who the owner of the voice was, until today when he saw Zhenyan and heard Zhenyan speak, he finally confirmed it...

"Human." The White Snake Immortal stared at Zhenyan with his sharp vertical pupils, and spoke human words from his huge snake mouth. "If you want to use the power of the Dragon Earth Cave, you must bear the corresponding risks."

After saying that, the White Snake Immortal turned its gaze to Sasuke. It could sense the Ryuchi Cave Contract on Sasuke. Since the few people were able to pass the previous trials and see it, they were indeed qualified to learn the magic of Ryuchi Cave. However, as it had said before, the magic of Ryuchi Cave was not so easy to learn.

The White Snake Immortal, who was dissatisfied with the truth, decided to inject more natural energy into Sasuke. When Sasuke could not bear it and turned into a snake, it would devour him...

After hearing what the White Snake Immortal said, Zhenyan couldn't help but confirm again: "Is there no gentler way of teaching?"

"The rules of Longdi Cave have always been like this. There is no need for weak humans to survive." The White Snake Immortal said coldly.

Shingo said to Sasuke and Orochimaru straightforwardly: "Let's go."

Shingon's reaction was somewhat beyond Sasuke and Orochimaru's expectations. The two of them were unable to keep up. Shingon stopped and explained to them, "Since the magic here is not easy to learn, let's change places. Isn't there a Myoboku Mountain next door?"

Shingon came to Ryuchido to ask in the spirit of the contract. Since Ryuchido cannot teach well, you can't blame him for not abiding by the contract and going to Myobokusan next door to sign up for classes.

Zhenyan glanced at the White Snake Immortal and said, "These days, there are immortal arts training classes everywhere, but excellent students are rare."

White Snake Immortal: “…………”

"Next, let's go to Myoboku Mountain to have a look. If Myoboku Mountain is not suitable, we will go to the Wet Bone Forest for consultation." Shingon said to Sasuke.

Sasuke nodded. He felt that what Shingen said made sense, and he left with Shingen without any reluctance.

Seeing the people leave like this, the White Snake Immortal couldn't hold on any longer, and the huge snake head poked out a part of it: "Wait a minute..."

"Hmm?" Zhenyan looked back and asked, "Is there anything else, Snake Immortal?" "…………" The White Snake Immortal had lived for more than a thousand years, and this was the first time that he was speechless when asked by a human...

Ryuchi Cave, Myoboku Mountain and Shigatani Forest are three sacred places with the same name. There is a restraining relationship between them. Snakes restrain toads, toads restrain slugs, and slugs in turn restrain snakes.

If the contractors of Ryuchi Cave were allowed to go to Myoboku Mountain to learn immortal arts, then Ryuchi Cave would probably be laughed at by the toads of the entire Myoboku Mountain. As the owner of Ryuchi Cave, the White Snake Immortal would never let this happen...

The White Snake Immortal opened his huge snake mouth and spoke after a long while, "There is indeed more than one way to practice immortal arts in Longdi Cave..."

"Are there any other methods of cultivation?" Shingon and Sasuke had already walked to the door. After hearing what the White Snake Immortal said, they did not go back, but just stopped and asked, looking like they were ready to leave at any time.

The White Snake Immortal poked his huge body out from the chair he was sitting on, and the huge snake head looked down at Zhenyan from above, as if he wanted to create a sense of oppression and increase his intimidation: "The snake oil produced in Longdi Cave can help humans perceive natural energy, but our snake oil is very rare. If you humans want to use it, you will have to pay a price."

Snake oil? Hand cream? Is this something rare?

Shingon was very suspicious that the White Snake Immortal was raising the price, so he turned to Orochimaru and asked, "Does the Toad Oil in Myōboku Mountain cost money?"

Orochimaru said very cooperatively: "No."

"Then let's go to Myoboku Mountain." Shingen said to Sasuke, they can learn the same fairy technique for free, why should they choose to pay for it?

White Snake Immortal: “…………”

The White Snake Immortal stared at Zhenyan intently. It was the first time that it was threatened by a human being. If it had not sensed the dangerous energy in Zhenyan's body, it would have really wanted to swallow him whole...

"How can the oil of those stinky toads compare to our snake oil..." The golden pupils of the White Snake Immortal glowed with anger, and the fangs in his mouth were also exposed when he spoke. "If toad oil is not used properly, it will cause frogification, but our snake oil ointment has no side effects."

"Is that so?" Zhenyan frowned in thought, looking rather distressed. Finally, he looked up at the White Snake Immortal and said with regret, "Thank you for your kindness, Snake Immortal, but we are children from a poor family and cannot afford the price."

"Let's go next door and use the free toad oil."

White Snake Immortal: “…………”

"Let's go." Shingon said to Sasuke again, and sighed after he finished speaking. It seemed that it was a choice he made out of helplessness.

"Humans, once you sign a blood contract with our Longdi Cave, you can only practice the magic arts of Longdi Cave!" The White Snake Immortal's patience was exhausted, and he began to force the sale.

"We also want to stay here and practice," Zhenyan said very realistically, "but we can't afford snake oil."

It’s not that Zhenyan is unwilling to spend money, but the attitude of the White Snake Immortal has made it clear that the value of the snake oil ointment cannot be measured by money.

For the dignity and face of Longdi Cave, the White Snake Immortal would not let the few people leave easily today. Its huge snake head pressed down a little more, and its scarlet tongue swept over the heads of the few people. The fishy words came into their ears: "Then exchange your life for it."

"I don't want to change." Zhenyan looked up and stared at the white-scaled snake in front of him. There was a light in his eyes that was redder than the snake's tongue.

When meeting Zhenyan's eyes, the White Snake Immortal's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Shingon smiled and said, "I do have a compromise. Sasuke can stay here to train, but we don't need snake oil. We can go to Myoboku Mountain and borrow some toad oil."

White Snake Immortal: “…………”

Using toad oil, but practicing the magic of Longdi Cave, what kind of thing is this? !
