Mutated Tao

Li Huowang felt hesitant as he looked at Bai Lingmiao; he wasn’t sure if he should bring her up the mountain.

While it was true that with her ability to summon the Immortals she could help him, he didn’t want to place her in danger.

At the same time, the others started pleading as well.

“Yeah, Senior Li, please let us come with you.”

“If we followed you, we might be able to help you. Aren't you afraid that the nuns are dangerous?”

“Yeah, and just in case… just in case your condition flares up again, then we can at least take care of you,” said Puppy.

The final sentence from Puppy finally defeated Li Huowang. “Baolu, place the horse carriages at the inn. We will all go up the mountain.”

The effect of the Black Taisui to suppress his hallucinations rapidly falling and he could slip into his hallucination at any time, so he definitely needed someone beside him.

Hearing his words, everyone smiled as they followed him; they were happy that they would finally get to help out their Senior Brother.

After a while, they rested halfway up the mountain, only continuing after a while. They finally arrived before the front gate of the Benevolent Nunnery just before nightfall.

They all looked inside and Li Huowang saw that the nunnery was still just as depilated as it had been before—grass could be seen growing between the stone tiles while the holes on the roofs hadn’t been repaired.

When he finally caught sight of the Women's Script on both sides of the gate, Li Huowang’s heart started pounding rapidly.

He had risked his life just for the sake of today.

When he thought that he would finally be able to get rid of his bizarre Master, Li Huowang could not hold back the excitement he felt in his heart.

He took a deep breath and turned around; he needed to let them know what they should expect. “The inside of the nunnery is extremely dirty and unkempt. The nuns are also very fat, so don’t be surprised by it, ok?”

After seeing everyone agree, Li Huowang held the box containing the Eighteenth Lunar eyes, took a deep breath, and walked inside.

Before they could even enter the main hall, a wave of putrid stench assaulted them.

What were they doing? It’s even more putrid than the last time.

Li Huowang pinched his nose and entered the place, forcing himself to endure the stench.

Meanwhile, the other guiding drug ingredients were already regretting their choice in coming here. While it wasn’t dangerous, it was far too smelly.

Soon, they arrived at the first hall of the nunnery. The moment Li Huowang stepped in, he felt something soft at the base of his right foot. When he picked his foot up he saw that it was a piece of peach cookie.

“Careful, they don’t like to keep it clean here,” warned Li Huowang.

He raised his head and saw that the Buddha statue was still covered in dirt. He walked past it and went out through the back.

Just as he had expected, there was a mountain of flesh lying down just behind the Buddha; it was a fat nun with an extra large guokui on her face. She was sleeping and eating at the same time.

“What the… Is… is she still human?” The rest of them were shocked.

Meanwhile, after what had happened last time, Li Huowang decided not to wake her up; he couldn’t do so even if he wanted to.

Soon, they walked past her and entered a side door, arriving at the interior of the nunnery.

They had just taken a few steps in when they realized that there was nowhere for them to walk—everything around them was covered in rotten food, even the floor and the roof were covered with it. There was even a mountain of moldy dumplings to their right, a large swarm of flies hovering over it. At the same time, numerous white maggots could be seen crawling on the mountain of dumplings.

However, the most surprising thing was that everything here was vegetarian—there was not a single piece of meat.

Looking at the mountain of food, Li Huowang realized that all these things were bought using the gold that he had given them the last time. The moment they got the money, they used it to buy various types of food in large quantities.

“Step over it,” said Li Huowang as he sank his legs into the sea of rotten food. It almost felt like he was in a swamp as he slowly walked forward.

Hearing this, everyone, including Bai Lingmiao who loved being clean, were quite unhappy. However, when they saw Li Huowang getting further and further away from them, they could only clench their teeth and trudge through the sea of rotten food.

“Why are they wasting so much food? Such a waste! They are just letting it all rot. This year has been filled with disasters and so many people didn’t even have any food to eat!” Having once been a beggar, Yang Xiaohai was particularly angry. This was one of the few times he had spoken up.

Li Huowang glanced at the boy. “That’s because they are greedy.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaohai pursed his lips, choosing to remain silent.

They trudged onward for half an hour before finally arriving at the place where the nuns usually had their meals. This was where they found the rest of the nuns.

Blegh~

One of the fat nuns vomited right in front of Li Huowang, emptying out what she had eaten. Her head was covered in sweat, but she didn’t even bother to wipe it off before continuing to eat the food on the table.

“Hello Miao Yu. How are you?” Li Huowang greeted the fat nun in front of him.

When Miao Yu opened her mouth to talk, her saliva and scraps of food bombarded Li Huowang’s face. “It’s you. Do you want me to show you the way? The price has increased now. It’s at least one gold coin.”

“No need. Is Abbess Jingxin still in the same house?” asked Li Huowang as he backed off to prevent getting splashed by her saliva.

Seeing how she couldn’t get any gold, the greed on Miao Yu’s face was replaced with disappointment. “Of course. She’s so fat that she can’t even walk. Where else could she be?”

Li Huowang nodded and turned around, walking toward the house where he saw Abbess Jingxin last time.

Meanwhile, the others followed after him as they walked through the swamp of rotten food.

However, Yang Xiaohai who had been standing at the very back, chastised the nuns when he saw how much food they were wasting. “You are all so wasteful! Do you know just how many people are starving outside? Some of them have even died due to starvation! Do you know just how painful it is to have to endure your hunger?”

Miao Yu answered plainly. “Of course we know; isn’t that why we are trying not to let it go to waste? Can’t you see that it has already started rotting? If we don’t eat all of it now, then we won’t be able to eat any of it later.”

After saying all that, she turned around and vomited, once more emptying her stomach in the process. Then, she continued eating, her eyes filled with greed.

Meanwhile, Li Huowang retraced his steps from the last time, walking past the pigsty before arriving at Abbess Jingxin’s house.

Due to the fact that this place was fairly secluded, there wasn’t a lot of rotting food over here. Thus, they felt so much better standing here. Even though the stench was still present, at the very least they had already gotten used to it.

Li Huowang placed a glowing rock in his hand and walked inside. As he walked in, he saw Abbess Jingxin shoving something back into the folds of her skin and flesh.

“Oh, it’s you! How was it? Did you manage to find the Eighteenth Lunar?” asked the Abbess.

Li Huowang nodded and opened the box in his hands.

Even though she didn’t have eyes, Abbess Jingxin somehow managed to feel something, causing her loose face to reveal a greedy grin.

Then, Abbess Jingxin slowly shifted her huge mountain-like body as she began to approach Li Huowang, at the same time causing the entire house to start shaking.
