"Prison Gods, these two are the Taoist boys who look after the golden furnace and the silver furnace in the Tusita Palace. Because they had a grudge with the Monkey King, the Monkey King, they stole the treasure of the Supreme Lord and came down to earth as monsters. They wanted to kill them. The great sage will take revenge."
As soon as the leading grass-headed god saw Li Anran coming out, he stepped forward and said, "Fortunately, their brothers were not very capable and were captured by Sun Dasheng. Later, they were taken back to heaven by Taishang Laojun to plead guilty to the Jade Emperor. My second master is here. After investigation, it was found that they had not committed many evil deeds, so they were sentenced to thirty years in prison and ordered to be sent to you."
It is no secret among the upper-level gods and Buddhas that the Buddhist and Taoist families use the Western Heaven to obtain scriptures to resolve karma and gamble on luck, but to these middle- and lower-level gods, gods, soldiers, and generals, they have never heard of it at all.
In their opinion, Tang Monk went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures under the decree of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which was a great good deed, and their attitudes were mostly on Tang Monk's side.
Li Anran took the edict in his hand, looked through it briefly, and suddenly understood.
The gold and silver boys were obviously sent by Taishang Laojun to prevent Xitian from obtaining scriptures.
Although they occupied the Lotus Cave in Pingdingshan and became kings, they actually did not commit many evil deeds. They never even did the usual things that monsters do, such as cutting paths and eating people. They only waited for the four masters and apprentices to obtain scriptures. , and had a fight with Sun Wukong.
The process is not much different from the original time and space.
These two monsters took five powerful magic weapons from Taishang Laojun for nothing, but they did not exert any effect at all. They behaved very stupidly and cutely from beginning to end.
The monkey didn't even change his appearance. He only reversed the name of his grandson, Monkey King, and changed it to Monkey Monkey King and Grandson Monkey King. The two monsters didn't recognize it at all. This intelligence is really touching.
If Taishang Laojun had not seen something wrong, he would have appeared in time to take action and take back the five magic weapons.
Not only will these five magic weapons fall into the hands of the monkey, but the two of them will also turn into thick water in the purple gold gourd.
"You have such a handsome face, why do you act so stupidly? Is it because you have been in heaven for so long that you trust others too easily?"
Li Anran couldn't help but look at the gold and silver boy up and down, muttering secretly in his heart.
Afterwards, Li Anran made a handover with the Caotou God and took the gold and silver boy into the sky prison.
Their information also appeared in the punishment book.

[Sin value: one star]
[Cultivation: Golden Immortal Level 1]

…
The income of 50,000 to 60,000 yuan is not even a drop in the bucket for Li Anran today.
He was more interested in the lives of these two boys.
Li Anran stared at the portraits of the two boys in the book of punishment.
After a while, the screen changed.
The lives of the two boys came to Li Anran's mind one by one.
The gold and silver boys are brothers, two years apart. The elder brother is named Zhang Jiusan and the younger brother is named Zhang Qiyi.
Their parents were poor people from Nanzhan Buzhou and could not read, so they named them after the month and day they were born.
The two boys' earlier experiences were similar to those of the cowherd boy Han Zhongli and Qingniu Jing.
It was by chance that he was favored by Lao Tzu, the incarnation of the Supreme Saint in the mortal world. When Lao Tzu resigned and traveled westward, he followed and served beside Lao Tzu.
When Lao Tzu's merits were perfected and he ascended to heaven, they also followed the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven. First they went to the Eight Views Palace of the Supreme Sage, and then followed the Supreme Lord to the Tushita Palace. One was responsible for looking after the gold furnace, and the other was responsible for looking after the silver furnace. .
The brothers also got new names, Golden Boy and Silver Boy.
Since then, their lives have become extremely monotonous, with only one thing happening from morning to night -
Burn fire to make elixir!
"Very good!"
A smile appeared on Li Anran's lips.
He had previously understood the art of alchemy from the Supreme Saint's sermons, but that was only on paper.
Now, he can observe and learn the entire process of Taishang Laojun's alchemy at close range through the life of the Golden Silver Boy.
This experience is much more precious than any elixir or magic weapon!
"Huh? Why does he use slow fire to make elixirs?"
"That's it! I understand!"
"The five elements of yin and yang, the monarch and his ministers assisting, can actually do this!"
Li Anran watched the lives of the two boys. Taishang Laojun combined with the elixir recipe and used special techniques to put various kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures into the elixir furnace. Sometimes he looked confused, sometimes he suddenly realized it, and sometimes he was ecstatic.
Taishang Laojun is the well-deserved number one person in the three realms of alchemy. His understanding of the art of alchemy is far superior to that of Li Anran.
During the thousands of years he spent in the Tushita Palace, he not only improved many elixir recipes, improving their effectiveness or reducing the need for heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but also developed many medicines that had never been used before. of elixirs.
Among them, there are even magic pills that can enhance people's understanding in a short time and force people into a state of enlightenment.
Li Anran was dumbfounded and marveled at Taishang Laojun's innovative and wonderful ideas.
At the same time, he is like a sponge, desperately absorbing and digesting the content and experience gained from free prostitution.
Li Anran only felt that he had fallen into a treasure house, but for the gold and silver boy who had experienced all this personally, he did not think there was anything wonderful about it.
On the contrary, they are in pain and fear, and have trouble sleeping day and night!
"How did I tell you? The Tribulation Pill must first be refined to the number of thirty-six with gentle fire, and then converted into martial fire for nine years, and then it can be refined with the true fire of Samadhi for the remaining twenty-two years! Why do you just It took eight years and three hundred and sixty-four days of training with martial arts! One day is missing!"
"Do you know how much effort I put into refining this furnace of pills? How many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were used?"
"Waste! You are just a useless waste! If you can't do such a small thing well, what else can you do well?"
…
Taishang Laojun's two furnaces of gold and silver are used to refine elixirs.
The golden furnace is mainly used to refine high-grade elixirs such as the Nine-turn Golden Pill and the Nine-turn Resurrection Pill, which have precious and scarce raw materials, long refining times, and cumbersome and complicated processes.
The silver furnace is mainly used to refine some ordinary low-grade elixirs.
Among them, the silver furnace is better. Refining alchemy is often based on days. A furnace of low-grade elixir only takes ninety-nine and eighty-one days at most!
However, the Golden Furnace is different!
Refining elixirs in the golden furnace is often based on years. When the maximum number of high-grade elixirs in a furnace is nine years, it may take nine years, which is five hundred and forty years!
During this period, the heat for refining the elixir will continue to change, and there can be no mistakes!
If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted. Not only will a lot of time and energy be wasted, but the alchemy materials invested will also be destroyed.
Even if Taishang Laojun is already the best in the three realms in alchemy, there will still be failures.
It would be fine if the failure was due to him, but if it was due to the gold and silver boy failing to control the heat, he would often become furious and punish him severely.
Li Anran regarded every time the Heavenly Lord made elixirs as an opportunity for him to absorb experience.
But, for the gold and silver boy, this is no different from going to the execution ground!
They were frightened every time, tensing their nerves to the extreme, fearing that something would go wrong, destroying the alchemy materials, and delaying the affairs of the Supreme Lord.
However, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will never get wet!
Sometimes the more you are afraid of problems, the more problems will occur!
On this day, the golden boy stayed in Tushita Palace as always, taking care of the golden furnace.
What is being refined in this furnace is the Nine-turn Golden Pill, which has been refined for seventy-seven forty-nine days!
The sky here refers to the time in heaven. When converted into human time units, it is seven, seventy-nine years!
The golden boy has also been guarding the golden furnace for forty-nine years!
Today, it’s finally the end!
There was indescribable fatigue in Jintongzi's expression. He stood up and stood in front of the alchemy furnace. He kept pinching the magic formula with his hands to control the changes of the alchemy fire.
Everything went smoothly at first, but when the furnace was started to collect the elixirs, Golden Boy's nerves were tense for too long, and he accidentally delayed the execution of the magic formula to control the elixir fire for a moment.
In a very short moment, the golden boy noticed something was wrong and immediately responded, but it was still a step too late!
Buzz!
The nine-turn golden elixir flew out of the elixir furnace, with golden light flashing and rays of light lingering, and flew into the five gourds placed next to it one after another.
In an instant, the entire alchemy room was filled with the fragrance of alchemy.
However, the golden boy's eyes were filled with fear and despair.
Li Anran couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Golden Boy's mistake was actually very small, but it also caused flaws in the final turn of the Nine Turns Golden Pill!
This batch of Nine Turns Golden Elixir can only be regarded as defective products!
"It's over!"
The golden boy's face was as white as paper, and his whole body was trembling.
In the Tushita Palace, Taishang Laojun was not as amiable and stoic as he appeared outside.
Especially when it comes to alchemy.
Normally, if their brothers failed to control the elixir fire and destroyed the elixir, they would be severely punished by Taishang Laojun.
And the weight of the furnace pill in front of me is countless times heavier than usual!
Not just because it is the extremely precious Nine Turns Golden Pill!
More importantly, this Nine-turn Golden Pill is a gift prepared by the Supreme Lord for the Jade Emperor’s upcoming Danyuan Conference!
And the time for the Danyuan Conference is just around the corner, so it’s almost impossible to make another furnace!
And if Taishang Laojun cannot come up with this furnace of nine-turn golden elixir, he will lose face in front of the Jade Emperor and all the immortals in heaven!
This is a big problem!
Li Anran knew the whole story and was worried about the golden boy.
Compared with the prisoners he had seen before, Jinyin Boy was simple and serious in his work. After watching him for so many years, it was hard not to feel some fondness for him.
At this moment, Li Anran's expression moved slightly and he raised his head and looked out the door.
But he heard a soft cry from far away.
"Huh? Doushuai Palace? Doushuai Palace is above thirty-three days, and it is the place where the Supreme Lord is away from Hentian. How did I, the old grandson, come here?"
"Forget it, I, the old grandson, have always said that I would come to Tushita Palace to visit the Supreme Lord, but I have never been here on weekdays. I can pay a visit today."
monkey? !
Is it time for monkeys to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace and go to Tushita Palace to steal the golden elixir?
Li Anran was stunned.
The golden boy has never left the Tushita Palace since he came to it. He spends most of his time in the alchemy room watching the fire and alchemy, completely unaware of the changes of the sun and the moon.
Li Anran stayed beside them, so naturally he didn't know much.
At this time, hearing the monkey's voice, Li Anran suddenly thought that this time the monkey descended from the Queen, Taishang Laojun had sued the monkey to the Jade Emperor, and the content was that the monkey stole the elixir he gave to the Jade Emperor. The nine-turn golden elixir refined by the conference.
The Jade Emperor's elixir conference will be held every once in a while. There is no fixed number. It all depends on whether Taishang Laojun has any good elixirs.
Li Anran had heard about the gold and silver boy several times in his life and didn't think much about it.
Unexpectedly, this time it turned out to be the time when monkeys caused trouble in the palace.
"That's wrong! Their Nine-turn Golden Pill has obviously been refined to waste. How could a monkey steal it?"
"Could it be that Taishang Laojun put the blame on the monkey?"
Just as Li Anran was thinking, he heard the monkey push open the door of Tushita Palace and stagger in, wandering around while shouting vaguely: "Tai Shang Laojun! Taishang Laojun! I am the old man." Sun is here to see you!"
The monkey was obviously too drunk at the Peach Party, so his speech was slurred and his voice was not high-pitched.
The golden boy was completely immersed in panic and did not notice the movement outside at all.
Creak——
With the sound of the door ringing, the monkey pushed open the door of the alchemy room and staggered in.
The golden boy was startled by the movement and suddenly stopped crying and looked up.
Then, I was surprised by the monkey's disheveled appearance, flushed face, and drunken eyes.
Tushita Palace is the dojo of Taishang Laojun. Which god would not be solemn and dignified when he comes for fear of losing etiquette. This is the first time for him to have such a visitor...
wrong! This is not a visitor!
This is an uninvited guest who has forced his way in!
The golden boy suddenly thought that Taishang Laojun had been invited by the Ancient Buddha to preach at the Lingjiu Palace. For this reason, he also brought all the immortal boys, immortal generals, immortal officials, and immortal officials from the Tusita Palace there to serve him. Listen left and right.
He was left alone to guard the golden furnace.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Taishang Laojun to invite others to visit the palace!
The golden boy forgot to cry for a moment and asked loudly: "Who are you? How dare you break into Tushita Palace without permission?"
The monkey said: "Little baby, don't be afraid! I am the Monkey King, the Monkey King! I happened to pass by the Tusita Palace today, so I came to visit the Supreme Lord!"
"You, you are the Monkey King?!" Golden Boy's eyes widened.
The golden boy refines elixirs in the alchemy room all year round and rarely goes out, but the cowherd boy often goes out and tells them what news he hears.
In recent years, the idol worshiped by the cowherd boy has changed from the Three Tan Haihui God to the Monkey King, the Monkey King!
The golden boy often heard about the deeds of the Monkey King from the mouth of the cowherd boy.
only……
He really couldn't connect the majestic Sun Dasheng mentioned by the cowherd boy with the disheveled drunk monkey in front of him!
The golden boy did not suspect that the monkey's identity was fake. He just thought he accidentally walked into the Tusita Palace when he was drunk, and immediately told the monkey about Taishang Laojun's visit to the Lingjiu Palace.
"Tai Shang Laojun is not here? My old grandson is gone! Gone!"
The monkey was a little disappointed and a little drunk, so he turned around and walked out the door drunkenly.
When the golden boy saw the monkey leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, but turned around and saw the inferior Nine Turns Golden Pill. Thinking of the heavy punishment he might face next, he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart and burst into tears.
The monkey had already reached the door. When he heard the cry, he turned around and said, "Man, why are you crying? You are so noisy!"
"You do not understand."
The golden boy sobbed and told the story of accidentally destroying the golden elixir, and then said: "These nine-turn golden elixirs were originally given to the Jade Emperor by the master to hold the elixir conference, but now it's all over!"
"Is the Jade Emperor going to hold a Danyuan Conference?"
The monkey's eyes widened and he immediately became angry.
The Queen Mother did not invite him to the Peach Club, nor did she invite him to the Danyuan Conference!
Seeing the golden boy crying and crying again, he became even more impatient and shouted: "Isn't it just that the furnace of pills has been broken? What's the matter!"
The monkey took a step forward and picked up all the gourds in front of him.
Under the horrified and surprised eyes of Golden Boy and Li Anran, Gudu Gudu poured all the food into his mouth and swallowed it whole.
"Just tell that old man that it was me, Old Sun, who ate his Nine Transformations Golden Pill!"
"No! Not just the Nine Turns Golden Pill, I, the old man, will eat all of his pills!"
"I want to see how the Jade Emperor holds the Danyuan Conference!"
