Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 660 - 661 Borrowing for Observation (Second

Upon entering the Thousand Flowers Cave, Bodhisattva Piluopo had the maids serve fruit tea and invited Sun Wukong to taste it. After half a cup, she finally asked, “Great Sage, may I inquire the purpose of your visit?”

“Nothing much, I just thought the embroidery needle you use is quite interesting and would like to borrow it for some enlightenment.”

Sun Wukong got straight to the point, “Also, I would request that Bodhisattva hands over that centipede spirit and the seven spider spirits to your humble Sun Wukong. I wish to take them back to the Flower-Fruit Mountain Demon Cult for some proper discipline!”

“Are those demons from Flower-Fruit Mountain?”

Bodhisattva Piluopo was taken aback.

“Of course not! But they will be very soon!”

Sun Wukong said, “The demons of the world are one family; as long as they are willing, they can join the Demon Cult at any time. I see that the cultivation strength of the centipede spirit and the spider spirits is not weak. It would be a pity to refine them into medicinal ingredients, so I wish to ask for a favor from Bodhisattva Piluopo! Of course, Old Sun won’t ask for this favor for free!”

As Sun Wukong spoke, he flipped his palm, and a gourd of ‘Victorious Warrior Wine’, brewed from six-thousand-year-old Peaches of Immortality and various Immortal Fruits, appeared in his hand, “This is the Victorious Warrior Wine that your humble Sun Wukong personally brewed, to be exchanged for the centipede spirit and spider spirits, and to borrow the embroidery needle for a look as well!”

“Victorious Warrior Wine?”

The fame of Victorious Warrior Wine was not unknown to Bodhisattva Piluopo; Sun Wukong often used it to replenish his energy during his upheaval in Heavenly Palace, and its reputation as the foremost divine liquor in the Three Realms had long since spread far and wide. Now, seeing Sun Wukong taking it out for exchange, Bodhisattva Piluopo’s eyes immediately gleamed with interest.

“Bodhisattva, you may have a taste first before deciding!”

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Sun Wukong generously extended his hand.

Bodhisattva Piluopo nodded, took the Victorious Warrior Wine, opened the gourd stopper, and a refreshing, heart-enlivening fragrance wafted out. Just smelling it made her feel elated, and her Buddha Primordial Force began to fluctuate. After quickly taking a small sip, her eyes widened with shock and amazement.

The spiritual power contained within the Victorious Warrior Wine was simply astonishing!

With just one sip, Bodhisattva Piluopo, who hadn’t seen any progress in her cultivation for a long time, suddenly experienced a trace of advancement!

The first divine wine of the Three Realms truly lived up to its reputation!

“Bodhisattva, how do you feel?”

Seeing the expression on Bodhisattva Piluopo’s face, Sun Wukong knew there was hope. Indeed, Bodhisattva Piluopo nodded with admiration and said, “Excellent wine, it truly deserves its reputation as the first divine wine of the Three Realms! The Great Sage is able to brew such divine wine, I am impressed!”

“If the Bodhisattva likes it, that’s great! As for my proposal…”

“Since the Great Sage has already spoken, how could I refuse? I shall leave these sinners to the Great Sage’s discretion!”

As Bodhisattva Piluopo spoke, she flipped her wrist and from her sleeve flew out a centipede and seven spiders, landing on the ground in front of Sun Wukong. Their cultivations were sealed, rendering them immobile, but they were still breathing.

“Hahaha! How refreshing!”

Sun Wukong burst into laughter. With a wave of his hand, a suction force emanated from his Ruyi Qiankun Bag, drawing the centipede and spider demons inside. After the fusion of his external incarnation and the original body, Sun Wukong merged the authentic Ruyi Qiankun Bag with the imitation, now united as one superior-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, its power surpassing that of the past.

“Bodhisattva, about that embroidery needle…”

After capturing the centipede and spider demons, Sun Wukong’s gaze returned to Bodhisattva Piluopo.

“Of course, I shall lend it to the Great Sage for inspection!”

Bodhisattva Piluopo was a wise person. Knowing that Sun Wukong had followed her all the way, she realized he would not rest until his mission was completed. Besides, Sun Wukong had already offered the Imperial Combat Victory Wine in exchange, showing his sincerity. After all, he was not asking to take the embroidery needle, just to borrow and observe it. What was there to worry about!

Instantly, Bodhisattva Piluopo took out the embroidery needle and handed it to Sun Wukong, “This object was refined from the eyes of the young Star Official of Mao Ri, made of neither steel, iron, nor gold. After being deployed, it can transform into thousands. The Great Sage may observe it as you please!”

“Thank you so much!”

After expressing his thanks, Sun Wukong asked Bodhisattva Piluopo for a room to stay and proceeded to study the embroidery needle that was refined from the eyes of the Star Official of Mao Ri. As he did, he immediately detected something unusual.

Bodhisattva Piluopo was right; the embroidery needle was indeed neither steel, iron, nor gold—it was formed from the congealed energies of Geng Metal Qi and Wu Earth Qi. Though it appeared small, its interior was engraved with myriad seals, perfectly designed to counter the Thousand-Eye Divine Powers of the centipede demon—a true case of one thing subduing another!

“The powers that come from the congealment of the Five Elements Qi are truly formidable. That Star Official of Mao Ri is not simple at all!”

Sun Wukong inwardly admired. The power of the Star Official of Mao Ri might not surpass his own by much, but his skills in refining magical treasures were rather impressive and worth learning from. If he could refine the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod once more with the energy of the Five Elements, perhaps he could break through the level of a superior-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and possibly even reach the Innate Supreme Treasure.

“Bodhisattva, I have finished observing. Thank you very much!”

After leaving the room, Sun Wukong returned the embroidery needle to Bodhisattva Piluopo and thanked her, but he showed no sign of leaving.

“Great Sage, do you have anything you wish to say to me?”

Sun Wukong glanced at the maids and young attendants beside him. Bodhisattva Piluopo understood and waved them away before saying, “Now that there are no others present, the Great Sage may speak freely.”

“Good, then I will speak frankly! I wonder if the Bodhisattva has ever considered leaving the Buddhist Sect and joining our Demon Cult?”
