"No wonder he's so strong," Niu Shanming exclaimed.
Niu Yancai touched his horns with a hint of lingering fear.
Fortunately, Lord Shanshi didn't take them seriously, otherwise they would have been crippled in a single encounter.
"Yes, very strong." Wukong nodded again.
Even with Sister Tao, Sister Lian, and several others working together, they couldn't subdue Brother Shan Shi.
That's right, it's very strong.
"Since it was Master's first spirit pet, why didn't it come back in the first place?" Tang Qian asked, pursing her lips.
"Because I was injured," Wukong explained simply. "I lost my essence and my memories are gone."
“I see.” Niu Shanming nodded.
But I was even more horrified.
Even though it was injured and lost its essence, the number one spirit pet under the master's command is still so powerful!
Even with the combined efforts of several people, including the Peach God and Vine God, they couldn't suppress it!
That's amazing!
"Let's put this bluestone under the peach tree over there. We can use it to dry fruit and stuff," Bai Qingqing muttered to herself.
Yun Yi and the others subtly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, not daring to say a word.
This little courtyard is terrifying.
Yun Zhan chimed in, "This bluestone is big enough and has a smooth surface, so it's really good for drying things."
Tian Susu also came to her senses, pursed her lips and smiled, "Does Master want to eat dried peaches and raisins?"
"Now that you mention it, I'm actually thinking about it." Bai Qingqing nodded with a smile.
"Then I'll go prepare in a bit," Tian Susu said, looking up at the sky. "The sun has been shining brightly these past few days, so it should be ready in three to five days."
With a wave of her hand, Bai Qingqing caused a large piece of bluestone to float up lightly.
Then it landed next to the peach tree.
She could control everything in the courtyard at will.
This is a convenience that the system provides to her.
Unfortunately, it's limited to the small courtyard.
Yun Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead again.
The once fierce Qing Shi was now as docile as a baby in Miss Bai's hands.
That's absolutely stunning.
After placing the bluestone, Bai Qingqing looked at Yun Yi and his wife and smiled, "I suddenly noticed this bluestone and took it over out of curiosity. I hope I didn't disturb you?"
"No, no." Yun Yi waved his hands repeatedly: "This blue stone does look quite extraordinary. Congratulations, Miss Bai."
Yun Yue stroked his bald head with satisfaction.
His son was born with a purple spiritual root and had an inherent arrogance.
He had previously worried that Yun Yi was too arrogant and wouldn't know how to curry favor with powerful figures.
In hindsight, he had been worrying unnecessarily.
After the bluestone landed, a phantom image of a young man materialized from it.
The shadow was so blurry that you couldn't make out the facial features at all.
It seemed as if it could vanish at any moment.
Yanxi's branches swayed gently, and a drop of emerald essence fell from the branch, landing squarely on the center of the illusory figure's brow.
“No need to waste it.” The young man raised his hand, lightly touched his brow with his fingertip, and the drop of emerald essence floated out again, then bounced back onto the peach tree.
“How can it be considered a waste to give it to my elder brother?” Yan Xi said. “My elder brother is being so polite to me, but it’s been so many years since we last met, are you being too formal?”
"I've already returned, I just need to rest and recuperate." Shan Shi smiled. "Besides, my master just helped me reunite my essence, so more would be too much for me."
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Yuehua asked.
Shan Shi casually picked a grape, popped it into his mouth, and said, "During the great battle back then, I was severely injured and on the verge of death, but fortunately, I had the magical artifact left by my master."
"I survived only because I was attached to the magical artifact left by my master."
"That magical artifact absorbed ninety percent of the damage for me, and then disappeared after saving my life."
"Without the protection of the magical artifact, my essence began to dissipate."
"My origins were lost, and my memories slowly faded away. I was afraid that I might do something irreversible without realizing it, so I sealed myself away."
"Through the changing times, the power of the seal has gradually weakened."
"Especially recently, after the Immortal Path was severed, someone has once again advanced to the Immortal Realm, and this world has suddenly become stronger."
"I took advantage of this opportunity to break the seal."
"In that battle, I was injured by the demon god, and his magic power has always resided in my body."
"After breaking the seal, taking advantage of my lost origin, that wisp of magic tried to usurp my place."
"I sensed my master, I sensed your presence, so I used the last bit of consciousness I had to desperately get closer to this place."
"Just now outside the courtyard, that wisp of magic sensed danger and tried to self-destruct to escape."
"As a result, it was directly destroyed by its owner."
"That felt great!"
As he spoke, Shan Shi pointed to Wukong, who had already returned to the courtyard: "I saw that little monkey the other day, but I didn't get a chance to speak to him." (Friendly reminder: The blue stone that Jiang Da and Jiang Er were captured. See Chapter 290 for details.)
It could sense that the little monkey carried its owner's scent.
But at that time, magic was at play, and it struggled with magic for control of its body, thus missing the opportunity.
"I see." Yan Xi swayed the branch gently. "Although the process was difficult, the result is good. One day, we will all be reunited."
"Are you all the only ones by Master's side now?" Shan Shi asked.
“Yes.” Yuehua nodded: “Except for Hu Niu and Mo Xuan, who only returned a few days ago, the rest of us have been by Master’s side all these years.”
"What about the master..." Shan Shi paused for a moment and asked, "From what I can see, the master's essence seems to be absent as well."
“He’s definitely not here.” Yuehua sighed. “It’s a long story, brother, you should see for yourself.”
As Yuehua spoke, she touched her own brow and then touched the brow of the mountain rock.
This is a way for them to communicate with their spirit pets.
It can instantly read the other person's memories and thoughts.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shan Shi finished reading and then sighed, "Thank you for your hard work over the years."
"Brother, please don't say that. We were just following our master's orders," Ling Yuan said.
"From now on, as long as I'm here, I'll take care of everything." Shan Shi patted Ling Yuan's grapevine, showing the attitude of an elder brother.
"We will also do our best to assist our elder brother," Li Xue said earnestly, abandoning her usual languid demeanor.
“I have news of Ku Rong,” Shan Shi suddenly said.
"Kurong? Where is he?" Yuehua asked hurriedly, her voice trembling slightly.
"Is Brother Rong also in this world?" Ling Yuan asked.
“Yes.” Shan Shi nodded: “Tens of thousands of years ago, I was conscious for a moment, and at that time I sensed his presence.”
"Where did you sense it?" Yuehua grabbed Shanshi's arm and asked nervously.
After a moment's thought, Shan Shi said, "It seems to be Zhongzhou, a place called... Shenchu City. Do you know it?"
