Influenced by some traditional novels, Tang Xiaobao has little interest in heaven.
What's the point of being a god? It's still more fun in the mortal world. I just don't know if I can achieve immortality by staying in the human world...
Okay, too much thinking.
"If your innate energy can accumulate to a certain amount, the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change and become immortal energy. Then you can be guided to become an immortal." Tieguai Li's eyes lit up: "When the time comes, I hope you can lend me a hand."
Tang Xiaobao chuckled and said, "You didn't make a mistake and were banished to the mortal world, did you?"
"Well, I guess so." Tieguai Li was a little embarrassed. "I just wanted to help out, but was misunderstood. Humph, if you want to blame someone, it's all Lü Dongbin's fault."
This was a true immortal secret. Tang Xiaobao immediately became interested: "Come on, tell me about it. I love listening to stories the most."
"I won't say." Tieguai Li was too embarrassed to speak.
Tang Xiaobao's expression changed, and he snorted, "If you don't tell me, I won't help you even if I have immortal energy in the future."
"You, you, how could you do this!" Tieguai Li was anxious.
"Then why are you talking so much? Just tell me now. Don't make up a story to fool me." Tang Xiaobao laughed dryly.
Tieguai Li hesitated for a long time before he heaving a heavy sigh. "Alright, I'll tell you the truth. Lü Dongbin and He Xiangu were in love and had always wanted to be together, but they were forced by the rules of heaven to be together. So, I wanted to create an opportunity for them and send them to the human world to live happily. I didn't expect the Jade Emperor to find out, and then he demoted me as well."
"Then you've been wronged." Tang Xiaobao nodded repeatedly. "But you're really a kind-hearted person. By the way, I saw a rumor online that you used your own leg as firewood to make medicine for your mother, and that's how you burned it. Is that true?"
Tieguai Li curled his lips and said, "That's all nonsense. I'm not an idiot or a fool. How could I use my feet as firewood? Isn't that courting death? What am I doing—"
"How did you hurt your foot?" Tang Xiaobao blinked.
"It was broken when I was a kid trying to rob a bird's nest." Tieguai Li said.
puff!
Tang Xiaobao burst out laughing and pointed at Tieguai Li: "Damn, so that's how it is. I'm dying of laughter. You weren't a good person when you were a kid either." Tieguai Li said stubbornly: "I robbed bird nests to find eggs to eat. How can I say that this is not a good thing?"
"Then you are a good thing."
"Why should I be a good thing? Oh, no, how can I be a thing?"
"Then you are not a thing?"
"Bah! You're trying to trick me!" Tieguai Li got anxious.
Tang Xiaobao laughed: "It's just a joke, don't worry. Oh, by the way, where's your gourd?"
"What gourd?" Tieguai Li was stunned.
"Shouldn't you have a gourd on your back? It's filled with elixirs. Give me a few." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile on his face.
Tieguai Li was at a loss for words: "Do you really believe what is written in books? I have never had a gourd before."
"No elixir?" Tang Xiaobao's face looked unhappy.
I finally met the leader of the Eight Immortals, but I didn't get any benefits. I'm in a bad mood...
"If I had an elixir, I would have taken it and ascended to heaven long ago." Tieguai Li sighed, "Isn't it that I just lack a wisp of immortal energy? Otherwise, why would I have stayed in the human world for tens of thousands of years?"
Tang Xiaobao was surprised: "How many tens of thousands of years have you lived?"
"That's right." Tieguai Li was a little depressed: "This world, in fact, is not very interesting."
Tang Xiaobao was a little depressed, and turned to leave: "Okay, buddy, goodbye."
"Hey, don't go." Tieguai Li quickly took a few steps with his cane and stopped Tang Xiaobao: "You have to quickly cultivate your immortal energy so that you can help me return to heaven!"
"Hmph, I don't know how to cultivate immortal energy either!"
"By the way, do you know how to cultivate immortal energy?" Tang Xiaobao became interested.
Tieguai Li shook his head: "Well, you can only hope to find some fragments of artifacts left over from the ancient war between gods and demons. There will be some spiritual energy in them that can be converted into innate energy."
"Where are the fragments of the artifact?"
"I don't know. It's useless for me to have that thing. I know it has appeared in the human world, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. Maybe I can find it at some auction."
"Where is the auction?"
"have no idea".
Tang Xiaobao's eyes rolled: "Who knows?"
"have no idea."
"Do you know any other immortals?" Tang Xiaobao asked. "I've only met Marshal Tianpeng." Tieguai Li frowned and said, "But he's a legitimate immortal, high and mighty in the Heavenly Palace, and usually looks down on us casual immortals, so we don't have much of a relationship."
"Zhu Bajie?" Tang Xiaobao's mind moved: "Where does he live? I'll go find him and see if I can get some benefits."
"I can tell you this. He is... This guy is just a pig. He loves to eat. But it is said that he doesn't want to eat anything now." Tieguai Li said.
Tang Xiaobao remembered Zhu Bajie's address and sighed, "It seems that life in heaven is not easy either. This is a stage struggle. They look down on each other and are divided into factions."
"Of course." Tieguai Li said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "If we had a background, we wouldn't have fallen to the mortal world. If you go find him, maybe you can really get some benefits. He has a background, so he definitely won't be as destitute as me."
Tang Xiaobao thought for a moment and said, "I can promise you that I will help you return to heaven in the future, but you have to give me some benefits."
"I don't have any magic weapon, nor do I have any special abilities. Apart from knowing some medical skills, I can also tell fortunes." Tieguai Li said.
Tang Xiaobao said, "Then tell me your fortune."
"I can't calculate it. You have your own immortal status and don't belong to the human world. How can I calculate it? No way."
"What are the other benefits?"
Tieguai Li said in bewilderment: "I don't know anything. It's useless to teach you magic. You don't have the spirit."
Tang Xiaobao didn't believe it, his face turned cold: "What are you talking about? I won't help you for nothing. We'll meet again later. Goodbye."
"Don't go." Tieguai Li was anxious. He quickly grabbed Tang Xiaobao's arm and said bitterly, "If you don't help me, who can help me?"
"Does that have anything to do with me?" Tang Xiaobao chuckled and said, "Anyway, I won't do anything that doesn't benefit me."
"What do you want?" Tieguai Li asked.
Tang Xiaobao didn't even think about it: "Magic weapons, elixirs, spells, anything will do."
"Where's the money? Do you want it?"
"Yes, I'm not stupid." When the money was mentioned, Tang Xiaobao's eyes lit up again.
Tieguai Li blinked and said, "How about I give you a chance to make money? As long as you do what I say, I guarantee you'll make a lot of money."
Tang Xiaobao frowned: "If there really is such a god, then you wouldn't be so miserable, right?"
