Chen Xiaobei: Monkey King! Why not? Could you get Ginseng Fruit?

Monkey King: Of course, I can!

Chen Xiaobei: How? Tell me! I’ve been dying to get my hands on some Ginseng Fruits to help increase my lifespan! Once I have enough years under my belt, I can keep training non-stop. That’ll be awesome!

Xiao Tianquan: You’ve got to be joking. You chopped down a Ginseng Fruit Tree last time. The Grand Deity Zhen Yuan hates your guts because of that. Why would he give you a Ginseng Fruit Tree?

Monkey King: Elder Zhenyuan will not give me the Ginseng Fruit. But there’s someone he would give it to! That person only needs to ask and he could get it!

G.o.ddess Chang’e: Who is that person?

Is there anyone like that in Three Realms?

Monkey King: That’s simple. Can’t you guess who it is?

Nezha: No… Grand Deity Zhen Yuan does not even side with any of the Sanqing Saints! I have never heard of him giving face to anyone!

Monkey King: You guys are all so stupid! Let me give you a clue! This person is very close to Hong Hai’er!

Hong Hai’er: Me? How come I don’t know?”

Chen Xiaobei: I know!

Monkey King: My brother Xiaobei is still the smartest one!

Nezha: Who is that? You guys keep going back and forth like that, it’s making me confused.

Xiao Tianquan: Just tell us already! Stop keeping us on tenterhooks!

G.o.ddess Chang’e: Yeah! Tell us! I’m dying to know!

Chen Xiaobei: The answer is pretty straightforward. A long time ago, Monkey King defeated Hong Hai’er at Crimson Cloud Cave and sent him to Mount Putuo for Guanyin to train him. In the end, he became Sudhana!

Hong Hai’er: Oh, so you guys were talking about sister Guanyin!

Chen Xiaobei: Of course it’s Guanyin! When Monkey King chopped down that Ginseng tree, Sister Guanyin was the one who used the Purity Droplet from the Purity Bottle to save the Ginseng tree. This means that Grand Deity Zhen Yuan owes Guanyin!

Nezha: Oh! Now I know.

G.o.ddess Chang’e: But, G.o.d Chen, how are you going to contact Guanyin? Even if she can get the Ginseng Fruit, why would she do this favor for you?

Xiao Tianquan: Yeah! It’s hard to make Grand Deity Zhen Yuan owes you a favor! And the Ginseng Fruit is useless to Guanyin. By doing that, the favor that Grand Deity Zhen Yuan owes Guanyin will be canceled! She might not help you…

Chen Xiaobei: You guys don’t have to worry about that. I have an idea! Talk later! I gotta go now!

Chen Xiaobei exited the brotherhood group and then scrolled down his list of good friends and stopped at a powerful name—Duobao Rulai.

Chen Xiaobei: Buddha, are you online? I have a request!

Duobao Rulai: What is it?

Chen Xiaobei: Because of some ‘confidential’ reason, I am in desperate need for Ginseng fruits to extend my lifespan. I heard that Grand Deity Zhen Yuan still owes Guanyin a favor. So, I was hoping that Guan Yin could help to introduce me to him.

Duobao Rulai: That’s not a problem but nothing is free in this world!

Chen Xiaobei: I know that but I don’t want Guanyin to get the fruit for me. I just need her to be the middleman, so that Grand Deity Zhen Yuan won’t turn a blind eye on a n.o.body like me.

Duobao Rulai: It’s good that you understand that! Hold on a minute, I will pa.s.s on your message.

Chen Xiaobei: Thank you very much, Buddha!

…

Buddha was very efficient. It was only a few minutes after, when Chen Xiaobei received a notification.

Ding!

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan has sent you a request. Accept or reject?

“Huh? Grand Deity Zhen Yuan is adding me right off the bat? It seems that Sister Guanyin is not planning to get involved here. I guess she really values the favor that others owe him! She didn’t want to lose the favor that Grand Deity Zhen Yuan owed her for me!” Chen Xiaobei smiled. “That’s good. I will talk to him myself. That way, Buddhism won’t get stuck in the middle and create more trouble for me!”

Chen Xiaobei tapped the screen and added Grand Deity Zhen Yuan as his friend.

Chen Xiaobei: How are you, Grand Deity Zhen Yuan?

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: What do you want? Tell me upfront! I am busy reading. If Guanyin hadn’t recommended you, I wouldn’t even be talking to you!

“Oh my goodness! Such arrogant deity!”

Chen Xiaobei’s brow was raised. He was after all the disciple of the Prime of Tongtian. He found it hard to believe that the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan did not bother to talk to him.

Chen Xiaobei: I’d like to ask Grand Deity Zhen Yuan for a Ginseng Fruit to increase my lifespan.

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: Are you serious? Do you think that Ginseng Fruits are like white cabbage? You can just get it whenever you want?

Chen Xiaobei: Erm… That’s not what I meant.

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: You? You are just a commoner from the Lost Land! How could you possibly be have anything that has the same value as the Ginseng Fruit?

Chen Xiaobei: That will depend on what you need. Do you like spicy sticks? What about cigarettes? Or would you like a plate of Mala crayfish?

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: Do you think I’m a fool? How could these rubbish things be exchanged for a Ginseng Fruit?

Chen Xiaobei: If that’s… not okay, I can give you something else, for example the sas.h.i.+mi that I gave to Queen Mother. Would you like one?

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: I’m not interested in food at all! Stop all your nonsense! You’re wasting my reading time!

Chen Xiaobei: You don’t seem to be in a very good mood today…

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: I was in the middle of reading a very interesting part of the book and you interrupted me. How could I be in a good mood?

Chen Xiaobei: Book? You’ve mentioned it three times now! How about I send you some?

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: Books are good. Since heaven and earth were created, I was never without a book! After such a long time, I’ve already read all the books in three realms that interests me. What book can you send?

Chen Xiaobei: Er…

Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: Alright. Stop wasting my time. Do whatever you need to do. I have to go.

Chen Xiaobei: Just you wait! I will send you a book that you will be happy with!

…

After Chen Xiaobei’s last message, there was no response.

“This Grand Deity Zhen Yuan really is quite remarkable. He’s been reading for hundreds of millions of years and yet it’s not enough…” Chen Xiaobei scratched his head. “It looks like all the food I’ve used on his friends are ineffective on him! I will have to use his hobby to get closer to him! But what book should I give him? He’s been around for so long! He would’ve read hundreds and thousands of books… I don’t even know what he’s already read…”

Cell phone in hand, Chen Xiaobei used the Scholar Heart to help him think.

“I got it! There’s a kind of book that Grand Deity Zhen Yuan had never read before!”

Chen Xiaobei’s eyes lit up.
