A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 638 Hollow Willow

Huang Mengting quickly interjected, "That's not enough! I feel like the pockets are too small!"

"How about I give you a bag that can hold the whole world?" Chao Bufan asked.

"Yes, yes, yes." Huang Mengting nodded without hesitation.

"You're so naive!" Chao Bufan said. "Look at you all, all you've got is so little ambition. The gold isn't going to run away if it's just sitting here. Why do you all have to act like gold diggers? You all look like female bandits. Luckily, there are no outsiders here."

"So what if we're female bandits? We're happy to be, it's none of your business," everyone said in unison.

"Fine! Never mind," Chao Bufan said helplessly.

Li Wei said, "Bufan, are you really going to hand over 80% of the gold here to the state?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Chao Bufan said irritably. "If I really hand over 80% of my gold to the country, what will you use in the future? You'll have to rip me out and drink my blood."

"Haha, that's good."

“Alright,” Chao Bufan said with a serious expression, “you should all put the gold bars back! Look at all of you carrying so much stuff, don’t you feel tired? I feel tired just looking at you. This is more suitable for you.”

As he spoke, a mahogany box, 1.5 meters long, 1 meter wide, and 1 meter high, immediately appeared in front of everyone. Chao Bufan continued, "Take a look and see what you want to put in yourselves."

Upon hearing this, Huang Mengting eagerly opened the box, and everyone screamed upon seeing it.

The box was filled with gems and diamonds of all sizes—red, blue, green, and all sorts of colors, some as big as a fist, others as small as an egg.

"Wow, so many diamonds, so many gems!" Huang Mengting exclaimed. Immediately, everyone quickly threw down the gold bars they were hiding and began frantically grabbing them.

Upon seeing this, Chao Bufan exclaimed in surprise, "I say, my dear wives, there's no need for you to be like this! All these things are yours anyway, why are you fighting over them!"

"Go cool off somewhere else. You have no right to speak here," Tang Qianqian snapped.

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan shook his head and smiled, saying, "Alright, alright! I've said too much again."

As he spoke, Chao Bufan took out an unactivated lightsaber and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

"Is that even a question? Of course it's a flashlight!" Li Wei said.

Chao Bufan pressed a switch, and the "flashlight" turned into a purple lightsaber with a whoosh.

"Take another look at what this is."

Huang Mengting exclaimed, "Isn't that the lightsaber used by the Absolute Samurai in Star Wars?"

Chao Bufan nodded and said, "Correct answer. This is indeed a lightsaber used by the Absolute Samurai. It can cut through iron like mud and can stop bullets. I will give one to each of you now. Keep it with you at all times. It may save your lives in an emergency."

Lily and the others all said "Oh" in unison.

Chao Bufan gave each of Baihe and the others a lightsaber, and finally said to Lan Fenghuang, "Fenghuang, here's one for you too."

"Thank you!" Lan Fenghuang accepted it without hesitation.

The scene returns to the ancient era...

After receiving the true teachings of Hongjun Patriarch, Tudou meditated and cultivated in Hongjun Patriarch's Daoist temple. Hongjun Patriarch and his three siblings sat to the side, some meditating and some contemplating the creation. Before a day had passed, Tudou said, "Patriarch, I have almost finished my cultivation. Could you take me to meet the other seniors?"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Patriarch and the others were all startled. Lu Ya Daoist laughed and said, "Potato, not a day has passed yet, have you really finished your cultivation?"

“Yes, Senior Lu Ya,” Potato replied, “It’s what Ancestor Hongjun taught me, and I’ve almost finished cultivating it. Besides, the system within my body will automatically improve itself.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ya Dao Ren looked at Hong Jun Lao Zu, who nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take you to see someone now."

Potato bowed and said, "Then thank you very much, Ancestor!"

With a casual wave of his hand, Hongjun Laozu tore a large hole in the air before them—a so-called "wormhole." The two walked through the wormhole, and Hongjun Laozu laughed, "Potato, do you know who I'm taking you to see?"

Upon hearing this, Potato shook his head and said, "This junior does not know."

Hongjun Ancestor smiled again, and then said, "This person is a giant weeping willow tree at the center of the universe during the Wuji period. Because he was affected by powerful spiritual energy and magic, he is an anomaly in the universe. If we talk about the righteous path, he is three thousand years older than me. He is Wuxin, and no magic treasure, magic or magic power is effective against him. To be precise, nothing can harm him."

Upon hearing this, Potato quickly did some research and then asked, "Ancestor, could the person you're talking about be the Great Immortal Yang Mei?"

“Indeed,” Hongjun Patriarch nodded. “It is him. The so-called ‘time is king, space is supreme.’ Yangmei Immortal is the head of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods. He doesn’t care about anyone except one person. Even I have to be wary of him. If you can get his guidance, it will truly be your good fortune.”

Potato nodded and said, "Ancestor, how much do you know about this Yangmei Immortal? Could you tell me so that I can prescribe the right medicine and not be at a loss when we meet?"

Upon hearing this, the Hongjun Ancestor smiled slightly and said, "Immortal Yangmei has always been open-minded and without desires. He likes a carefree and unrestrained life, never asking about worldly affairs, and never interfering in the relationship between gods and demons. It is precisely because of this that he has earned a good reputation for being carefree and unrestrained."

Upon hearing this, Potato's eyes lit up, and he said, "Oh? So, this Yangmei Immortal is quite easy to approach!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a deep voice suddenly resounded in the endless void, seemingly both far away and close at hand, sometimes near, sometimes far, sometimes ethereal...

"Throughout the myriad years of the Dharma Gate, I did not know that the word 'One' is as vast as the heavens; by chance, I comprehended the principles of the Wind Immortals and suddenly felt the spiritual light fill the entire universe; the vast and boundless land of immortals, the towering dome of my own heaven; in the daytime, I am free and without fuss, I ride the smoke and enter the crimson sky; I am a carefree guest among three thousand people, a free and unrestrained immortal; with purity, I open the inner landscape of the pot, and without action, I shatter the heaven within the cave."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Ancestor was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "I was originally a Golden Immortal of Heaven and Earth, living freely between Heaven and Earth; although things change, I only say that the clouds are more beautiful than smoke."

"what?"

Suddenly, a surprised exclamation came from the endless void. Immediately afterward, an old man in white robes with a venerable air, white hair and a youthful face appeared before the Ancestor Hongjun. This man held a willow branch in his hand, and his beard was even longer than the willow branch. Needless to say, he was the Chaos Demon God who controlled space—the Great Immortal Yangmei.
