With Bai Yao's scream, he completely lost consciousness.
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao looked at the scorched and blackened Bai Yao, shook their heads, and brought him back to Taiqing Palace!
Taishang glanced at Bai Yao, took out a pill, and gave it to Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, instructing:
"Dissolve this pill in water and give him a bath!"
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao nodded and immediately placed Bai Yao in the bathtub!
While Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao were bathing Bai Yao, Bai Yao was slowly recovering under the nourishment of Taishang's pill!
As soon as Bai Yao woke up, he looked at Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao with a look of resentment!
"You guys were too rough!"
Bai Yao still felt a dull ache in his lower body when he thought of the last lightning strike.
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao scratched their heads upon hearing this. Thinking that their last strike had hit Bai Yao's most vulnerable spot, they spoke apologetically:
"The master ordered us, and we dared not hold back!"
Bai Yao glared at them upon hearing this:
"Master ordered you, and you were so rough? What if it damaged me, how would I live as a human afterwards?"
Yin Jiao smiled:
"It wasn't damaged! Besides, body tempering is like this, otherwise that part would become your weakness. Isn't the master doing this for your own good?"
Bai Yao couldn't argue with Yin Jiao, so he looked at Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao pitifully!
"Can you guys be gentler next time? It hurts!"
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao exchanged a smile and said in unison:
"No, you should tell the master yourself. We can't make that decision!"
Seeing that talking to Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao was useless, Bai Yao got out of the bathtub, put on his clothes, and went straight to Taishang:
"Master, I don't want to cultivate body tempering anymore, is that okay? It hurts too much!"
Taishang's face darkened upon hearing this, and he said sternly:
"No, you have a congenital advantage, why wouldn't you cultivate? Just because you're afraid of pain? If you're afraid of pain, what kind of cultivation are you pursuing? Would you prefer I send you back to the bamboo sea at the peak in your original form? You unpromising creature!"
When Bai Yao heard Taishang say he would send him back to his original form at the bamboo sea, he felt uncomfortable thinking of Yuan Shi and Tong Tian!
"Master, then can you ask Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao to be gentler? I still feel a dull ache all over!"
Taishang didn't believe Bai Yao's nonsense. This kid was still saying such things after receiving the special medicinal pill he refined for him. Was he trying to fool a ghost?
"No, if I don't apply more pressure, when will you achieve success in your cultivation? Look at your Uncle Yuan Shi and Uncle Tong Tian, which of their disciples are as useless as you!"
"If I hadn't seen that you joined the sect late and your talent was inferior to your senior brothers, I wouldn't have made an exception for you and specifically refined medicinal pills for you. Can't you show some effort?"
"Look at your other senior brothers and sisters, I let them cultivate on their own. And then look at you!"
"Master, can you let Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao train with me every few days?"
Taishang shook his head without thinking:
"No! Do you want to be lazy? Don't even think about it!"
Seeing that Taishang wouldn't agree to anything he said, Bai Yao immediately put on a miserable face:
"Master! Master! Master~"
Taishang shook his head and ignored Bai Yao. Seeing that Taishang was unmoved, Bai Yao immediately decided to slack off.
"Master, you don't agree with this, and you don't agree with that. Just send me back to the bamboo sea at the peak. Let my two uncles raise me! I'll just muddle along and wait for death."
Taishang was almost angered to death!
"You unfilial son! I finally helped you transform, and you want to go back to the peak and muddle along waiting for death!"
"Jin Jiao, Yin Jiao, take this unfilial son and train him properly!"
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao rushed to Taishang upon hearing his voice. Seeing Taishang's angry expression, they quickly took Bai Yao away.
Outside Taiqing Palace, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao looked at Bai Yao curiously.
"What did you do to make the master so angry?"
Bai Yao shook his head:
"I didn't do anything. Master is too heartless, only knowing how to torment my young heart!"
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao twitched their mouths and were speechless to Bai Yao:
"Although you are indeed still young, and the master accelerated your growth, you're still a bit out of line saying that! Among the master's disciples, you are the most favored. The master lets the other young masters and ladies cultivate on their own. Not only did the master let us help you cultivate, but he also refined medicinal pills specifically for you. Others don't have this treatment, so be content!"
"It's not your fault for being too rough. I'd rather cultivate on my own!"
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao looked at Bai Yao, this ungrateful fellow, and didn't know what to say to him!
In Taiqing Palace, after Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao took Bai Yao away, Taishang's mood improved slightly. Seeing that the troublesome Bai Yao was gone, his restless heart gradually calmed down.
Everyone else was eager for cultivation, yet this ungrateful brat was trying to avoid it!
As Taishang calmed down, he realized that Bai Yao was indeed too young. When Taishang helped him transform, he knew that this child had only been born for a short time before being found by Chi You, and then lured to Kunlun Mountain by Kong Xuan with the bitter bamboo. Shortly after, Taishang helped him transform. In essence, this child was still a baby!
Taishang suddenly realized he was making excuses for him. He then thought of Xuan Du and Zhen Wu, who were also young when they joined his sect. Taishang figured it must be that Bai Yao had been spoiled by Yuan Shi and Tong Tian at Taiqing Peak.
Upon thinking this, Taishang's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again!
"Jin Jiao, Yin Jiao, take this unfilial son to Yuqing Peak and let him mine with the Twelve Golden Immortals. He can return to Taiqing Peak when he has figured things out!"
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, who were taking Bai Yao towards the medicinal field, suddenly heard Taishang's voice and looked at Bai Yao awkwardly.
Bai Yao didn't know who the Twelve Golden Immortals were, nor did he know what it meant to mine at Yuqing Peak. However, he knew he wouldn't be struck by lightning anymore, and he looked at Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao with excitement!
"What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear Master say to send me to Yuqing Peak to mine? Hurry up, hurry up!"
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao looked at the excited Bai Yao, thinking that this child was beyond saving. Mining at Taiqing Peak was much harder than being struck by lightning by the two of them. Jin Jiao tentatively asked:
"Young Master Bai, why don't you go and beg the master? The master dotes on you so much, perhaps if you beg him, the master will soften his heart and not send you to Second Master's Yuqing Peak!"
Bai Yao immediately shook his head upon hearing this. He never wanted to experience that testicular pain again!
"Who wants to beg him? I'm going to Yuqing Peak!"
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao looked at the ungrateful Bai Yao, sighed, and took him to Yuqing Peak!
At Yuqing Peak, as Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao delivered Bai Yao, Yuan Shi had just finished refining all the items Tong Tian needed and came out, only to see Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao arriving with Bai Yao!
"Jin Jiao, Yin Jiao, why are you and Bai Yao here?"
"Greetings, Second Master!"
"Greetings, Second Uncle!"
"Replying to Second Master, Bai Yao refuses to cultivate, so the Master ordered us to bring him here to mine with the Twelve Golden Immortals!"
Jin Jiao explained immediately upon hearing Yuan Shi's question!
Yuan Shi looked at Bai Yao upon hearing this:
"Weren't you quite well-behaved at Taiqing Peak? How dare you defy your elder brother's wishes!"
Yuan Shi said this and then patted Bai Yao's head.
"Fine, let this child suffer a bit. Take him to the peak and hand him over to Duo Bao!"
Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao immediately nodded upon hearing this and headed towards the peak with Bai Yao!
