The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 163: Greater Contribution


Immortal Zhen Yuan returned to Wanling Hall and saw a group of people surrounding General Guo Shen.

A young immortal held several elixirs and fed them to him one by one.

"What's happening here?"

Immortal Zhen Yuan asked General Zhi Jian standing beside him, "Did you call me back just to see this?"

"No."

General Zhi Jian shook his head.

After watching for a while, Immortal Zhen Yuan asked again, "Why not just use spells to heal him?"

General Guo Shen's injuries weren't severe; a spell would have sufficed, so why bother with elixirs?

"That is the new Internal Injury Pill refined by Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad."

General Zhi Jian replied, "We just got the opportunity, so we used it to test the effectiveness of the medicine."

"Testing the medicine?"

Immortal Zhen Yuan sighed, "This is really unfortunate."

"What's so unfortunate?"

A cold snort came from ahead, and Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad turned around and spoke, "Don't compare me with ordinary alchemists, my elixirs are infallible."

Besides artifact refining in Wanling City, he also helped in developing crops to increase yield and elixirs that can cure diseases.

Lord Lao Zi was extremely confident in his elixirs.

After a few pills, there wasn't a single scar left on General Guo Shen's body.

"Thank you, Lord."

He stood up to express his gratitude to Lord Lao Zi.

Lord Lao Zi chuckled and said, "If you get injured in the future, feel free to come find me."

After General Guo Shen nodded, Lord left leisurely.

"Dear brother."

After Lord Lao Zi left, Immortal Zhen Yuan said, "You could have just established a medical center with Taoists for treating illnesses, why bother Lord?"

"We need both."

Sun Wukong replied, while Taoists can certainly heal, the research on medicinal elixirs must continue.

This is crucial for the development of trade in Wanling City and might also have a significant impact in the future.

"Immortal."

Sun Wukong said to Immortal Zhen Yuan, "You no longer need to handle the Spiritual Network of Female Country, I have something more important for you to do."

After careful consideration, Sun Wukong decided to send Lady Rakshasa to West Liang Woman Country in place of Immortal Zhen Yuan.

The Spiritual Network there needed adjustments, and with Lady Rakshasa's technological expertise and experience, plus being a woman, it made action more convenient.

"I want you to research new applications for the Spiritual Network."

Sun Wukong told Immortal Zhen Yuan.

Currently, the coverage of Wanling Country's Spiritual Network was very small, only including Wanling City and part of the plantation area, which was less than one-tenth of the whole country's area.

Sun Wukong hoped that Immortal Zhen Yuan would collaborate with the Plum Mountain Brothers to start with transportation tools and develop a unique kind of Spiritual Network.

After pondering for a moment, Immortal Zhen Yuan agreed.

Sun Wukong continued, "Immortal, you also need to take some students."

Apart from the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple, he wanted to foster more talents.

"Students? You want me to take kids?"

Immortal Zhen Yuan gestured with his hand, "No way."

He didn't want to be a babysitter.

However, seeing Sun Wukong staring at him persistently, Immortal Zhen Yuan soon couldn't resist, "Alright, I agree."

Sun Wukong smiled, leading him to the school.

The three schools established in Wanling City were connected and located in the northwestern mountains, away from the bustling city.

Sun Wukong intended to establish an independent academy city, but for the time being, three schools were sufficient.

The classification within the schools was not finely divided, simply based on academic levels.

Sun Wukong, in search of talents, naturally went to the best school with children from Huaguo Mountain, who had received education early and some could even work directly.

As they walked into the school and not far in, Immortal Zhen Yuan suddenly stopped.

He looked towards an open window: "That person looks familiar."

Sun Wukong looked over and nodded, "I remember him, his name is Qing Yuanzi."

Qing Yuanzi was teaching a class in the school.

"To be victorious in all battles, first learn to hide your clumsiness."

He authoritatively told the demons, "Just like the Great Saint, despite his vast divine skills, he opts to use wisdom."

"That is to say, he always kept the best stuff hidden."

Qing Yuanzi picked up a cup of water, moistened his throat, and said, "That's the wisdom of the strong."

"...That's actually well put."

Immortal Zhen Yuan nodded and said, "He sees it clearly."

Sun Wukong looked towards the school, and another demon asked, "Is the Great King really that amazing?"

"Of course, the Great Saint caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace because he couldn't hide his clumsiness and could only resort to flipping tables."

Qing Yuanzi said, "With one strike of the Great Saint's staff, a hundred thousand Immortals of Colossal Spirit fell from the sky, leaving the Jade Emperor with no choice but to stare helplessly."

Everyone gasped, "A hundred thousand Immortals of Colossal Spirit?"

Someone immediately asked, "Are there that many Immortals of Colossal Spirit?"

"The Immortal of Colossal Spirit is a position, and all kinds of laborers and tile workers in the Heavenly Palace are called Immortals of Colossal Spirit…"

Qing Yuanzi explained.

Hearing this, Immortal Zhen Yuan sighed again, "Is he okay being here?"

"Grandmaster asked him to teach, so it should be fine, right?"

Sun Wukong was not entirely sure.

Although he often made fundamental mistakes, Qing Yuanzi might indeed be a talent.

At least his storytelling was interesting…

The two hadn't walked much farther when they saw the Water Moon Fairy.

"Fairy, what are you doing here?"

Sun Wukong asked.

The Water Moon Fairy did not answer, but instead looked up at the sky.

It wasn't noon yet, not time for lunch.

She felt relieved.

"I came to find a job from the Grandmaster."

The Water Moon Fairy said.

She valued her influence in Wanling City greatly.

But on the surface, she also had a suitable excuse.

"I want to earn more money; otherwise, I can't even afford a meal."

Immortal Zhen Yuan felt that made sense.

"Junior Brother, on my way back, I saw the Fairy still helping out in the mines."

He told Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong was startled, wondering how poor the Water Moon Fairy could be.

"Fairy, is this true?"

He asked.

The Water Moon Fairy nodded.

Of course, her reason for mining wasn't for money but to lose weight!

"Is she that short of money?"

Sun Wukong was left concerned.

That day, Immortal Zhen Yuan selected some clever children, including Li Mu.

Sun Wukong returned to Wanling Hall and immediately arranged a job for the Water Moon Fairy.

"Fairy."

A few days later, An Jing Si came to Chuanyin Hall and handed a name plate to the Water Moon Fairy.

"What is this?"

"A Gourmet Taster."

An Jing Si said, "Great Saint said the Water Moon Fairy has been working too hard, afraid you might starve, so he found you a suitable part-time job."

Whatever new food was introduced in the restaurants of Wanling City, they would have the Water Moon Fairy taste it and just give a rating.

"Fairy."

An Jing Si said, "Great Saint values you, hoping the Fairy can make a greater contribution to Wanling City."

The Water Moon Fairy almost threw the name plate away.

Did Sun Wukong want her to eat herself to death so he could inherit her Jade Purification Bottle?

"Don't think I have no way out..."

The Water Moon Fairy secretly clenched her teeth.

Having been bullied for so long, it was time for her to think of a way to fight back.
