The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 786

Chapter 786: Chapter 783: State the Purpose Chapter 786: Chapter 783: State the Purpose “This matter is of great importance, and I do not have absolute certainty, so I did not inform Daoist Shen in advance. Please do not take it to heart.” The white-robed elder slightly nodded his head to Shen Luo in apology.

“Not a problem.” Shen Luo waved his hand.

“In this way, the five pieces of Heavenly Book fragments have been assembled. Not only has Daoist Shen persuaded Bull Demon King to join the alliance, but he also unearthed the whereabouts of the last piece of the Heavenly Book fragment. His merits are exceedingly grand. I think a substantial reward should be given. What do Daoist Hua and Daoist Lei think?” The white-robed elder looked at the silver-armored man and the yellow-robed man.

The two of them exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

“I appreciate your kindness, but I have not truly persuaded the Bull Demon King to join us yet. Let's discuss any reward after everything is concluded,” Shen Luo, took the initiative, said before the two could respond.

His current cultivation is smooth, and he has no dire needs, so he does not want to waste this rare opportunity for nothing.

“That's fine, then. We each owe a favor to Daoist Shen which can be redeemed as per your request at any time.” The white-robed elder nodded in agreement.

“Now that things have been settled, I should return the precious items I borrowed.” Shen Luo rejoiced silently but did not let his feelings show on his face. He took out a yellow silk handkerchief, the Red Flame Hand Bead, and the Profound Ice Mask to return to the white-robed elder and the silver-armored man.

They did not stand on ceremony and tucked the items away.

The group discussed some more about the details of appealing to the Bull Demon King to join their cause, and the meeting ended quickly. Shen Luo then returned to the real world.

He didn't linger in the secret chamber. He immediately got up and left, soon arriving at the Bull Demon King's dwelling.

“Elder Shen!” A white bull demon in the Great Mahayana stage, who was guarding the place, looked grave. Seeing Shen Luo approach, he quickly gave a bow.

“How is the Great Sage's condition?” Shen Luo glanced towards the tightly shut Big Gate and asked.

“Father King and Fox King have tried many methods to expel the poison, but none have worked,” answered the white bull demon sadly, shaking his head.

“I just received a detoxifying elixir specifically for demonic poison. It might be of use for the Great Sage's injury. Could your Excellency please relay the information for me?” Shen Luo said.

“Indeed? I'll report it immediately. Elder, please wait for a moment.” The white bull demon, hearing this, was overjoyed and immediately went into the house.

Not long after, the bull demon came back out.

“Father King invites you in.” The bull demon gave Shen Luo a bow and opened the door.

Shen Luo slightly nodded and walked in.

A dense medicinal smell immediately hit him as he stepped inside. The Bull Demon King was lying on the bed, his lips purplish and cheeks displaying copper coin-sized, multicolored poisonous spots. It was a shocking and horrifying sight.

The Ten Thousand Years Fox King and a girl in white were by his side; it was Princess Jade Face, who seemed to have returned to normal.

The two bore worried expressions.

“Brother Shen, you're here,” said the Bull Demon King, lifting his head to look at Shen Luo and attempting to put on a smile.

“Brother Niu, how did your condition deteriorate to this point?” Shen Luo asked, taken aback by the sight of Bull Demon King's appearance.

“Sigh, I never thought that this Demon Blood Poison would be so potent. Despite all my efforts, I have not only failed to dispel it, but the potent poison has started to devour my inner vitality. This poison is probably incurable,” the Bull Demon King said weakly.

“Brother Niu, don't be pessimistic. I have just acquired a detoxifying elixir, it might be useful,” Shen Luo said. Taking out the yellow-skinned gourd, he poured out a golden pill from it. The pill had seven pill patterns forming a golden lotus.

The golden lotus emitted a faint light of the Buddha, slowly spinning like it had a mind of its own, as if it were alive.

“A Buddhist elixir!” Bull Demon King's face darkened.

“That's the Buddha's Light Relic!” The Ten Thousand Years Fox King recognized this elixir and exclaimed with joy.

“Father, will this pill really work on the great strength poison?” Princess Jade Face was overjoyed at hearing this but she also asked with some uncertainty.

“Certainly! This pill is a detoxifying medicine from the Western Heavenly Spiritual Mountain, it has been extinct for a thousand years. It specializes in detoxifying demonic toxins, it must work!” The Ten Thousand Years Fox King explained.

Princess Jade Face was delighted, she took the pill and prepared to give it to the Bull Demon King.

However, Bull Demon King did not open his mouth and his face was somber.

“What? Red Boy and Jade Face have returned, are you still dwelling on the past? Besides, Brother Shen, put in a lot of effort to find you this detoxifying medicine, what grudge are you still holding?” The Ten Thousand Years Fox King chided coldly.

“Brother Niu, I understand that you harbor resentment against the Buddhist sect. Even though Princess Jade Face has returned, in our opposing demon clan, a Taiyi Realm master has not emerged. My humble exchange with him didn't fare well. With a clever calculation, I managed to snatch back a soul and a spirit from his hands on behalf of Princess Jade Face. If this person attacks, we would not be his match. We have to rely on you, Brother Niu. Please prioritize the overall situation,” Shen Luo also persuaded.

The expression of the Bull Demon King changed slightly. He kept silent for a while before he opened his mouth and swallowed the Buddha's Light Relic.

A strange noise suddenly came from inside the room. It was like a dragon chanting and thunder roaring, continuous and unending. After a moment, a bright golden light penetrated from the cracks in the door. It was as dazzling as a splendid morning sun, filled with an auspicious aura, colorful and dazzling, it made people dazed.

“What happened?” The white bull demon was greatly shocked.

The golden light and auspicious aura lasted for a good quarter of an hour before they slowly dissipated, and tranquility was restored in the room.

“Could the occurrence just now be an anomaly due to Elder Shen detoxifying the Great King? I wonder how the situation is now?” The white bull demon was curious about the situation inside but did not dare to barge in rashly.

Inside the room, the golden light on Bull Demon King's body disappeared quickly. The toxin spots on his skin disappeared entirely and his skin was restored to normal. More than that, a warm golden light emerged subtly from beneath his skin. He looked much better than before he was poisoned.

“As expected of the Spiritual Mountain's Holy Medicine, the demonic poison in my body has almost gone. The remaining traces are negligible and can be driven away slowly with my inner work. Thank you, Brother Shen.” Bull Demon King decided to take the medicine, casting aside doubt, he spoke freely.

“No need to be polite, Brother Niu, as long as the medicine is useful, it's good,” Shen Luo also felt relieved.

“Father-in-law, Jade Face, you both leave first. Keep a close watch on the Demon Clan nearby. I have something to discuss with Brother Shen,” the Bull Demon King said to the Ten Thousand Years Fox King and Princess Jade Face.

The two looked at each other and, without asking for any explanations, they left the room.

“Brother Shen, please sit,” the Bull Demon King got up and pointed at a stone stool next to him.

Without any reservations, Shen Luo sat down.

“Brother Shen, this Buddha's Light Relic is invaluable. Where did you get it?” The Bull Demon King stared at Shen Luo and asked.

“The value of this pill is too extensive for me to possess. With regards to its origin, I suspect you already have an idea, Brother Niu,” Shen Luo said with a faint smile.

The Bull Demon King fell silent, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

“Brother Niu, the people of the Immortals and Buddhas had some grievances with you in the past. However, now that the Heavenly Court has fallen and the Ling Mountain has been destroyed, it's best to let the past be the past and let it drift away with the wind. At present, the enemy of all creatures in the Three Realms is the Demon Clan. We, the survivors, have the profound duty to protect our kin. Joining hands against the demons is our only way out,” Seeing that the other party did not speak but did not show much resistance either, Shen Luo persuaded.
