Chapter 811 - May I ask about your mothers surname? (2/2)
It had been really kidnapped by that delicate and pretty cultivator!
Sometimes, reality was even worse than nightmares.
Thereupon, the big ginseng instinctively started to struggle again. “Sob, sob, sob~”
“Eh? How come it woke up again?” After noticing the struggle of the ginseng, Venerable White turned his head around and looked at it, saying in a soft voice, “From the looks of it, it woke again since its soul was stimulated…”
After saying this much, Venerable White turned his body around and gave the ginseng another beautiful roundhouse kick.
“Bang~” The big ginseng blacked out again, losing consciousness.
This time, Venerable White used a little more strength while kicking.
Therefore, the big ginseng might stay asleep for a little longer this time around.
The nearby monster willow quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Luckily, she could supply tree branches to Venerable White and was useful to him—she was nothing like that pitiful ginseng!

Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen curiously gazed at the small teapot in Senior White’s hands.
Venerable White shook the teapot, and said, “You want to know how this teapot works, right?”
Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen repeatedly nodded their heads.
“Actually, this thing isn’t a magical treasure that we cultivators created. It’s something that I picked up in the middle of a desert while I was roaming the world several hundred years ago, and I’m also unsure which system’s pract.i.tioners forged this marvelous treasure. Anyway, the small teapot has the capacity to house a soul that can then act as the ‘teapot spirit’. However, the soul of a cultivator of the Fifth Stage or above is required to become the teapot spirit. Additionally, this soul must ‘willingly’ complete the contract before getting inside the teapot, becoming its spirit,” Venerable White said.
“And what is its ability?” Song Shuhang asked.
“Look carefully.” Venerable White stretched out his hand and rubbed the small teapot a few times.
“Whoosh~”
A ma.s.s of mist came out of the teapot’s spout.
Next, the ma.s.s of mist a.s.sumed the appearance of a black-robed cultivator—it was Demon Venerable Lushan Street’s appearance.
“A magic lamp?!” Song Shuhang eyes immediately lit up. “Senior White, can it grant wishes as well?”
“Grant wishes? How can there be something as exaggerated as that in this world?” Venerable White waved his hand, and said, “This magical treasure is actually a battle-type magical treasure. One can summon the teapot spirit three times per day for half an hour and have it fight for them. However, one has to be careful. If the teapot spirit dies, it will truly disappear. Therefore, whenever it gets seriously injured, one has to call it back inside the teapot to convalesce from its wounds.”
“…” Song Shuhang said, “But Senior White, didn’t you say that you wanted to obtain the information related to the core of this fragment of the Heavenly City from that guy? Can he still reply to your questions after becoming the teapot spirit?”
“That’s a given. Otherwise, why would I go through all this trouble to turn him into the teapot spirit?” Venerable White laughed. Then, he tapped on the small teapot and asked the black-robed daoist priest in the sky, “What’s your name?”
“This poor daoist’s dao name is ‘Lushan Street’,” the black-robed daoist priest replied truthfully.
It could reply for real!
“That’s truly incredible…” Song Shuhang said. At the same time, he rejoiced that his dao name didn’t end up being [Daoist Priest China, Zhejiang Province, Wenzhou City, Baijing Street]. Otherwise, how would he even find the courage to reply if someone asked him for his dao name?
Then, Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity, “Fellow Daoist Lushan Street, may I ask you a question? What is your mother’s surname?”
Demon Venerable Lushan Street coldly looked at Song Shuhang and didn’t reply.
“…” Song Shuhang.
Well, that was awkward.
Venerable White comforted Song Shuhang, “Shuhang, don’t take it to heart. The truth is that it will reply only to the questions of the owner of the teapot, and it is by no means looking down on you.”
Senior White, don’t say it out loud! As soon as you mentioned this matter, I immediately felt that the teapot spirit was deeply looking down on me!
Su Clan’s Sixteen couldn’t help but laugh.
“Cough.” Venerable White cleared his throat, and said, “Fellow Daoist Lushan Street, can you fill me in on this matter related to the ‘core’ of this fragment of the Heavenly City?”
Demon Venerable Lushan Street froze for a moment, and a conflicted expression appeared on his cold face.
“His will is truly strong, and it can actually revolt even after becoming the teapot spirit of the teapot.” Venerable White stretched out his hand and gently rubbed the small teapot one more time.
Demon Venerable Lushan Street finally opened his mouth, and said, “The core of this fragment of the Heavenly City is hidden in one of the palaces in the western side. But if you want to get to the place where the core is… you’ll need my help. I’ve already gained some authority over the core of this fragment of the Heavenly City.”
“No wonder… it seems that the core was hidden all along because someone got to it before us. Now I understand why I didn’t find anything even after searching for so long,” Venerable White said.
He hadn’t expected that Demon Venerable Lushan Street had already gained some control over the core of this place. If this guy had been given a little more time—and had managed to make this fragment of the Heavenly City his own—he would have certainly advanced to the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Realm.
But, unfortunately for Demon Venerable Lushan Street, there were no “ifs” or “buts” in this world, and he ended up becoming the teapot spirit of Venerable White’s mysterious teapot before he could advance to the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Realm.
“In that case, show us the way, Fellow Daoist,” Venerable White said.
In the sky, a conflicted expression appeared on Demon Venerable Lushan Street’s face again. But, after a short time, his will was unable to overcome the contract of the small teapot and was defeated.
Thereupon, he took the lead and showed the way to Venerable White and the others, heading toward the palaces located in the western side of this fragment of the Heavenly City.
