#162 - This is my name

Xu Ming looked at the five divine beast bloodlines in his hand, unsure of who to give them to.

Perhaps he could give them to those few demon clans he met on the Heavenly Ladder, especially that toad.

They should be the strongest within the White Wallow Secret Realm.

If so, these five divine beast bloodlines could help them reach even greater heights.

On a whim, Xu Ming sent the five divine beast bloodlines into the Toad Temple.

The toad, who was in the temple hammering away, paused, put down his hammer, and respectfully bowed towards the air: "Master."

It was perfectly reasonable for this toad to call Xu Ming "Master."

After all, Xu Ming was the master of the secret realm and could control every plant and tree within it, let alone someone's life or death.

Even if they left the secret realm, Xu Ming would still have a natural, innate suppression over them.

That is to say, within the secret realm, Xu Ming could annihilate this toad with a single thought.

Of course, Xu Ming couldn't act recklessly.

Heaven had its responsibilities, and he needed to act appropriately.

For example, Xu Ming could make someone the longest-lived person in the secret realm, but he couldn't make everyone live a long life.

Otherwise, the laws of the White Wallow Secret Realm would be damaged, and it would collapse prematurely.

Xu Ming's consciousness transformed into his own image, floating in the air, looking at the golden Buddha statue behind him.

The golden Buddha statue didn't resemble a toad, but rather a scholar: "What are you doing?"

The toad replied, "I am building a golden statue for Master."

Xu Ming smiled: "You've made a golden statue for me, but what about you?"

The toad also smiled: "Before, the White Wallow Secret Realm didn't have a master.

I had a higher cultivation, and the residents of White Wallow City respected me, so they built this temple for me.

Now that the White Wallow Secret Realm has a true god, how could I have the nerve to continue here?"

Xu Ming shook his head: "I am just an ordinary person.

Whoever this temple originally worshipped, it should continue to worship.

There's no need to change it.

I won't manage the White Wallow Secret Realm too much.

How could I accept people's incense offerings without fulfilling the wishes of the people of the White Wallow Secret Realm?"

The toad said: "Master, you are speaking too seriously.

As the master of White Wallow, it is normal for you to enjoy incense offerings.

If Master doesn't mind, I can help Master fulfill the wishes of the people."

"No need for that."

Xu Ming didn't want to become the kind of person who oppresses others, taking the benefits for himself and leaving the burdens to others.

"Just keep it as it was before."

Toad: "But Master, Master bestowed a rain of Dao, and the people are very grateful and want to build a temple for Master.

This is a token of appreciation from the people of the White Wallow Secret Realm."

Xu Ming thought for a moment: "There's no need to build a temple.

If you really want to do something, find a remote wilderness and build a statue casually, but tell the people that worshipping me is useless, and there's no need to kneel.

Don't set up an incense altar in front of the statue."

"Yes."

Seeing that his master was so determined, the toad didn't say anything more.

In fact, the toad was quite moved.

In the outside world, there must be people who have obtained other secret realms.

The toad imagined that they would definitely extract all kinds of resources from the secret realm, only for their own use, regardless of the rest of the secret realm.

But not only did Master not take a single thread or needle, but he also bestowed a rain of Dao.

"Also, don't call me Master anymore."

Xu Ming said.

Xu Ming didn't like this title very much, feeling like they were his servants.

No one is born wanting to be someone else's servant.

The toad blinked: "But if I don't call you Master? Then…"

The toad didn't know what to call him.

He couldn't possibly call him by his name, could he?

Call him Young Master?

That wouldn't be right either, wouldn't that make Master and himself seem to be of similar status?

"Then, may I call you Lord?"

The toad thought for a moment and said.

"As long as it's not 'Master,' anything else is fine."

Xu Ming nodded.

"I have five things to give you."

Xu Ming waved his sleeve, and five small divine beast statues fell from the sky.

The toad reached out and touched them.

The moment he touched them, the toad felt immense pressure on his bloodline.

"Inside these five small statues are divine beast bloodlines, namely the Sheng Yu bloodline, the Qilin bloodline, the Teng Snake bloodline, the Xuanwu bloodline, and the Cheng Huang bloodline.

See which bloodline is useful, and choose one.

Give the other four bloodlines to those demons who stood in front of me on the Heavenly Ladder before."

"Thank you for your reward, Lord, but I am walking the path of the ancient Taotie.

These precious bloodlines are not suitable for me, so I will not accept them."

The toad said.

"As for the others, they probably aren't suitable either.

That bird is walking the path of the Phoenix, which is mainly fire, while Sheng Yu is mainly water, which is incompatible with her.

The tiger is walking the path of the Zhen, and the jackal is walking the path of the Ge Tan."

Xu Ming nodded: "If they are incompatible with their great paths, then place these five bloodlines in the five directions of the White Wallow Secret Realm, for those who are destined to obtain them."

"Yes, Lord."

The toad nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Ming dropped bags of a thousand catties of spirit rice, one bag after another.

"Lord, what is this?"

Just the sight of these things piled up in front of him made him feel a dense spiritual power.

Xu Ming: "You'll know when you open it and see."

The toad received permission, stepped forward, and untied a bag, only to find that it contained white rice!

All of this was spirit rice!

And of extremely high quality!

"These are all spirit rice seeds.

Find a place in the White Wallow Secret Realm and see if you can plant them.

These spirit rice seeds have a very high yield, and the conditions they need to grow are more lenient than ordinary spirit rice.

If they can be planted on a large scale, let the people of the White Wallow Secret Realm eat this rice."

Xu Ming didn't actually know how high the yield of this spirit rice was, nor did he know if the rice given by the system was really easy to grow.

You must know that spirit rice needs to be planted in a place with abundant spiritual power and irrigated with spiritual springs.

"Yes, Lord, I will arrange it tomorrow."

To be honest, the toad was very curious about where the master got so many exotic treasures.

He was still thinking about how the White Wallow Secret Realm would provide for the Lord, but what he didn't expect was that the Lord was providing for the White Wallow Secret Realm.

"That's all then."

After explaining everything, Xu Ming's divine sense gradually disappeared in the White Wallow Secret Realm.

"By the way, what's your name?"

The toad shook his head: "Returning to Lord, I don't have a name.

That monk who saved me has always called me Toad."

Xu Ming: "You should still think of a name, otherwise I won't know what to call you."

The toad bowed: "Please bestow a name, Lord."

Xu Ming looked at the toad and didn't refuse: "Yuan Yu, from now on, that will be your name."

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Ming's divine sense slowly dissipated.

In the temple, the toad transformed into a chubby man in a green robe.

"Yuan Yu."

The chubby man whispered, "This is my name."
