The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

With the comparison in mind, Bodhi Patriarch's patience quickly ran out, and he immediately made a decision.

"Master, those books can't grant me immortality, can they? I won't study them."

Upon hearing this, the monkey immediately shook its head.

I came here seeking immortality, not to learn those useless things.

"You have to learn it whether you want to or not. Just learning law will only lead to trouble sooner or later!"

Seeing that Patriarch Bodhi's tone had become stern, Sun Wukong could only shrink back and dared not speak.

"Keep it up, Monkey! Study hard and make progress every day!"

"Master, why am I the only one learning, and Xiaobai isn't?"

“Young friend Bai Zhi is steady and calm, so she doesn’t need to learn. She won’t act recklessly like you after learning a little bit.”

Seeing that Sun Wukong seemed somewhat skeptical, Patriarch Bodhi had no choice but to turn to Bai Zhi and ask, "Young friend, could you demonstrate something for my unworthy disciple?"

“I will obey the old gentleman’s orders.”

The next moment, a giant eagle appeared on the spot, then transformed into a tiger, a lion, and finally returned to its original form.

The monkey was dumbfounded by this scene. Up until now, he had only learned to transform into a sparrow. How could Bai Zhi transform into so many animals so quickly?

Even Bodhi Patriarch was slightly surprised. That monkey's talent was extraordinary. Even with the help of incense, Bai Zhi's progress on the first day was still quite outrageous.

"Monkey, do you understand what humility means now?"

Bodhi Patriarch immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to teach the monkey a lesson.

Chapter 632 Please look after this monkey for me.

This question immediately made Sun Wukong's face fall.

There was nothing he could do. He thought he was already very impressive for learning these things on the first day, but he never expected that Bai Zhi was much more capable than him.

"The student understands, and the student will definitely study hard."

"Well, children can be taught."

Bodhi Patriarch nodded in satisfaction, even somewhat glad that he had accepted Bai Zhi.

At least, with Angelica dahurica as a comparison, the unruly monkey became much more obedient and didn't require much explanation from him.

Then time began to flow: one day, two days, one month, three years.

These days, Bai Zhi and Sun Wukong study with Patriarch Bodhi every day, and they are gradually becoming proficient in the seventy-two transformations.

"Xiaobai, could I have another bottle of Sulfamethoxazole?"

Sun Wukong moved closer to Bai Zhi and whispered something.

Bai Zhi, who was meditating, opened her eyes helplessly. "Monkey, you've already asked me for 300 bottles of Suleda this month, averaging 10 bottles a day. Are you going to drink this like water?"

"Hehe, there's no way around it. My senior and junior brothers all like me, and they all call me Big Brother. As the Big Brother, I can't help but think about my younger brothers."

"You treat your senior brother like a younger brother, aren't you afraid of angering Master Bodhi?"

Bai Zhi knew about this. Two years ago, she felt that her mouth was losing its umami flavor, so she simply had the system use points to exchange some of the Sulphur-3000 from the Dimensional Hub's inventory.

The monkey happened to meet her drinking cola at that time, and was curious about what it tasted like, so he asked her to give him a bottle to try.

Then...

This guy just couldn't stop, and he would come to her every now and then asking for Solomon's Syrup.

Now, he's a complete Coca-Cola warrior; he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't drink it every day.

They even gave the soda to the other Taoist priests in the temple.

There's a reason why this stuff called Solada is so popular throughout the universe. In this world of classical mythology, while it may not be comparable to dragon liver and phoenix marrow, it's certainly not an ordinary thing.

"Little White, my dear Little White, please give your brother some. All the senior and junior brothers are eagerly waiting for it."

"Okay, okay, here it is, here it is."

Bai Zhi glanced around helplessly, and dozens of bottles of Solomon's seal were immediately placed on the ground. Anyway, this stuff wasn't worth much, and it wouldn't cost many points to transfer it from the Star Iron World through the system.

"Xiao Bai, you are my great benefactor!"

The monkey showed a joyful expression, and at the same time, with a flick of its clothes, the dozens of bottles of Sodium vanished instantly.

"This monkey..."

Bai Zhi shook her head.

"Brothers and sisters, look, your brother has brought you some good stuff again."

The monkey crept furtively past the gate of the Taoist temple, where a group of people had already gathered—Taoist priests who practiced there.

"Brother Monkey brought that celestial elixir?"

The Taoist priests gathered around immediately, and the monkey swept the ground, instantly placing the Suleda on it.

"As expected of Monkey King, he managed to get this fine wine from Lady Baizhi."

The Taoist priests all gave the monkey approving gestures; they all knew the origin of Suleda.

However, their master, Patriarch Bodhi, always addressed Bai Zhi as "little friend," so they didn't dare to directly ask Bai Zhi for anything.

Only this monkey seems to have a good relationship with Bai Zhi, and can get some from her from time to time.

This secluded mountain retreat, though brimming with spiritual energy, is also a place of tranquility and detachment from worldly desires; people there are usually so bland that they're practically eating nothing at all.

This Sulphur, one bite and the abundant syrup and all sorts of things instantly energize me, making me feel like I have something to look forward to for the day.

“A cultivator should not be so obsessed with food and drink. And you, monkey, have corrupted your fellow disciples. You call yourselves brothers all day long. You are not like cultivators. You are more like worldly bandits.”

"Who dares to say that about me?"

The monkey frowned, immediately turned around, and was about to scold him.

But the familiar figure made him stop speaking abruptly, for it was his master, Patriarch Bodhi.

The other Taoist priests scattered like birds and beasts upon seeing this, not forgetting to take the cola with them as well before leaving.

"Master...Master..."

The monkey was so nervous that it couldn't speak.

Bodhi Patriarch shook his head, slightly disappointed. "Monkey, three years ago, I asked you to study the principles of books, but in these past few years, your supernatural powers have improved, but your heart has been stagnant due to worldly desires."

"Most of your fellow disciples lack the potential to become immortals, so it's understandable that they're addicted to it, but you..."

"Master, I was wrong."

The monkey lowered its head.

"No need to say any more. You can leave now. Don't ever come back to the Crescent Moon Three Stars Cave again."

Patriarch Bodhi sighed and waved to Sun Wukong.

"Okay, I'm leaving now."

Sun Wukong agreed and started to walk out, but he immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly turned around.

"Master, are you... going to expel me from the sect?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Zhi floating lightly to the front of the mountain gate, and he hurriedly called out with a hint of pleading, "Little Bai, help me."

"There's no need to ask Bai Zhi for help, Wukong. You've learned enough skills, and it's time for you to graduate."

"No, Master, I don't want to graduate. I just want to stay by your side for the rest of my life."

"Wukong, your behavior of gathering people and calling them brothers in the temple is actually a sign that you can't stand being alone. You can't stay here forever. Go and do what you should do."

Bodhi Patriarch waved his hand.

"Master!!"

The monkey immediately knelt down.

"Sigh... Wukong, you must take good care of yourself on this trip. Don't be too hasty. This is all I can say to you now."

"After you leave, don't mention that I am your master again."

As he spoke, Bodhi Patriarch looked at Bai Zhi, "But if you ever encounter difficulties in the future, you can ask your young friend Bai Zhi for help. For my sake, she might lend you a hand."

"I will."

Bai Zhi nodded slowly.

Seeing that even his master had said this, Sun Wukong, who knew his master's personality well, knew that there was no way to salvage the situation, and could only walk towards the mountain gate in a daze.

As Sun Wukong's figure slowly disappeared, Patriarch Bodhi shook his head slightly and then turned his gaze to Bai Zhi. "Young friend, at this point, I must close my mountain gate."

"Sir, I will help him."

Bai Zhi knew that Bodhi Patriarch's mission was mostly complete, because the place quickly fell into disrepair after Sun Wukong graduated.

"Well then, I'll leave it to you, young friend."

After Bodhi Patriarch finished speaking, his figure began to gradually fade.

[Ding, 72 Transformations completed, Monkey Talisman temporarily upgraded by one level, Host's body is awakening and will return soon]

Upon seeing this notification, Bai Zhi smiled and slowly walked out of the mountain gate. As she walked, her body gradually faded and eventually disappeared from this world.

Chapter 633 Why are your son's pectoral muscles so exaggerated?

"Tsk, it's good that I can come back temporarily. Otherwise, if I had to wait there for hundreds of years to help the monkey get through 81 tribulations, wouldn't that have killed me?"

Bai Zhi sat on the bed, shaking her head. This world spanned a much longer period of time than any of the previous ones.

In the previous world, the time span was at most a few days to a few years, but Journey to the West is often measured in hundreds of years.

She hasn't even lived 50 years in total, both her past and present lives. If she stayed there for hundreds of years and came back, she probably wouldn't remember many things.

Fortunately, the system was very understanding, only returning to that world when she fell asleep, and even fast-forwarding time.

"The Monkey Talisman has been temporarily upgraded by one level. Hmm, not a bad reward."

Although this is a temporary improvement, Bai Zhi is already very satisfied. After all, she originally had a level 2 monkey talisman, and now with this additional level, she has directly reached level 3.

Open the system interface, view the properties, and a series of text appears before you.

[Monkey Charm Lv.3: Greatly enhances the strength of transformed mythical creatures, while also increasing the ability to transform most intelligent life forms such as humanoid creatures, androids, and monsters. During the transformation, the user temporarily gains the racial talent.]

Upon seeing this attribute, Bai Zhi's eyes darted around, and a bold idea came to her.

Without hesitation, Bai Zhi silently invoked the power of the monkey talisman in her mind, tentatively transforming into the appearance of General Jing Yuan.

As the power of the monkey talisman flowed throughout her body, Bai Zhi felt a completely different experience than before.

"Wow, the view is higher now!!"

Bai Zhi was somewhat excited, and then immediately used the power of imaginary numbers to summon a water mirror to see her own appearance.

That's right, white hair, golden eyes, and the iconic general's armor... Why are your son's pectoral muscles so exaggerated? And isn't this physique a little too good??

This isn't Jing Yuan, this is Jing Yuan!!

"System, come out here!!"

The system remained silent, without uttering a single word.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi silently canceled the transformation. Although the white hair and golden eyes were very beautiful, the pectoral muscles were too exaggerated and made her feel a bit burdened.

Therefore, she decided to change her approach, instead of imitating those she already knew, and instead create an image that she wanted.

White hair and golden eyes – keep it; it's a traditional aesthetic, and you have to try it.

He must be tall, at least as tall as Xing, and have a pair of fox ears. His pectoral muscles shouldn't be too exaggerated; too big and they'll look cumbersome!

The clothes should be taken inspiration from the general's armor; they're perfect.

Looking at herself in the water mirror, Bai Zhi nodded in satisfaction. White hair, golden eyes, a beauty mark under her eye, fox ears, general's armor, plus slender and straight long legs, she exuded a sense of power.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi summoned the sword bestowed by the Emperor's Bow again, and transformed it into a scabbard, which she then slung at her waist.

A dashing and valiant fox-woman general has been born.

"Cool~"
