Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 432 Laojun Golden Pill
When the Indian Kingdom recaptured the Jade Rabbit Fairy.

The Moon God, together with the Fairy Chang'e, descended on colorful clouds to appear before Sun Wukong.

As for the "Su'e Fairy", she is another beautiful fairy in the Toad Palace. Su'e Fairy once had a grudge with the Jade Rabbit Fairy. Later, it is unknown whether she missed men or was greedy for the prosperity of the human world...

The fairy Su'e wanted to go down to the mortal world, and with her spiritual light she was reborn into the womb of the queen of the king of Tianzhu and became a princess of Tianzhu.

It can be simply understood that Taiyin Star Lord is one of the Nine Star Lords, including Fire Star Lord, Water Star Lord, Ketu Star Lord... and he fought with Sun Wukong in Huaguo Mountain.

Houyi's wife, the pretty widow Chang'e, is now the leader of the Heavenly Song and Dance Troupe, mainly singing and dancing.

The moon, also known as the Yin star, is a very large star with many palaces on it.

The Moon God resides in the Moon Palace and is the master of the Moon Palace.

The fairy Chang'e lives in Guanghan Palace and is the palace master.

……

In the Heavenly Palace, the Moon Palace, and the Guanghan Palace.

Chang'e also stopped her dreamy dance.

Chang'e walked to the tea table with light lotus steps, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of fragrant fairy tea, took a sip, looked at Yang Chan who was sitting beside her, and said softly:

"Sister Yang Chan, will your second brother Yang Jian come to participate in the upcoming 'Dan Yuan Conference'?"

Yang Chan shook her head, a trace of helplessness flashed across her face, and she said softly:
"My second brother is still in solitary confinement in Guanjiangkou. If he were to show up in heaven at this time, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble and gossip."

"Let him stay in Guanjiangkou with peace of mind."

After that, Yang Chan added:
"However, I will personally bring the golden elixir from the 'Dan Yuan Conference' to my second brother when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Chang'e nodded slightly, put down the teacup, stood up, and rested for a while on the couch beside her.

At this time, Fairy Su'e slowly stood up, looked at Chang'e, and said:

"Su'e is not talented, I beg Palace Master Chang'e to teach me something."

……

In the heavenly palace, there are many fairies in the heavenly song and dance troupe, all of whom are extremely beautiful and talented.

Chang'e, the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms, is the leader of the "Heavenly Song and Dance Troupe". Her beauty and grace are unmatched.

Su'e is the deputy director of the "Heavenly Song and Dance Troupe".

In addition, there are many beautiful fairies in heaven, such as the Fairy Nishang, whose singing voice is like the sound of nature and is intoxicating.

In addition to practicing magic, these fairies usually sing and dance for the Jade Emperor, using their talents to bring him endless joy and enjoyment.

There are palaces everywhere in the heaven. In addition to busy working places, there are also many places for leisure and entertainment.

After all: "I have become the master of the three realms. Now that I am done, can't I enjoy myself?"

The Jade Emperor is actually a person who enjoys life.

For example, the "Pixiang Hall" in heaven, which is the workplace of Kuimulang's lover "Baihuaxiu", is actually the "imperial kitchen" of the Jade Emperor.

The Pixiang Hall is where the Jade Emperor eats his imperial meals.

Baihuaxiu, who worked in the "Pixiang Hall", might be one of the fairies who served the Jade Emperor at meals.

The king of the Zhuzi Kingdom in the mortal world once invited Monk Tang to have a meal in the "Pixiang Hall" of Zhuzi Kingdom.

In the Hall of Fragrance in heaven, the Jade Emperor can taste delicacies from all over the three realms.

Food, drink, fun, and entertainment...there is actually nothing lacking in heaven.

Corresponding to the Hall of Fragrance is the "Hua Le Palace".

This Huale Palace is the dressing room and changing room of the Heavenly Song and Dance Troupe.

Whenever it was almost time for the Jade Emperor's meal, the fairies from the Heavenly Song and Dance Troupe would come to the Huale Palace, dressed up carefully and neatly, waiting for the call from the Pixiang Hall.

They either dress up or choose gorgeous clothes, all in the hope of showing their most beautiful looks in front of the Jade Emperor and winning his favor.

When the Jade Emperor was having a meal in the Pixiang Hall, if he wanted to listen to music and watch dance, he only had to summon them and the "Heavenly Song and Dance Troupe" would come immediately and perform for him.

The Jade Emperor would listen to the tunes of the "Heavenly Song and Dance Troupe", appreciate the dance of Chang'e, "the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms", while leisurely eating and drinking wine.

Enjoy the luxurious life of an emperor.

In fact, how could the life of the Lord of the Three Realms be so bitter?

If it's really that hard, who would want to be the master of the three realms? What's the point?
Whoever he wants to be the master of the three realms can be the master.

Although power and status are important, life should not be wasted.

……

However, where there are people, there are disputes.

Loved by the emperor, fought for by the fairies.

……

"Su'e, you need more..."

When Su'e was dancing, Chang'e was beside her whispering and giving her guidance.

Su'e's dance became more graceful under Chang'e's guidance.

However, Su'e hid an indescribable fire of jealousy in her heart. She watched Chang'e's extraordinary and cold temperament, and her heart was like a surging wave, difficult to calm down.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is definitely not a good soldier; how can a person who doesn't want to be the main dancer be called a good dancer?
"I, Su'e, am confident that my appearance is no less than Chang'e's, so why can't I become the master of Guanghan Palace?"

Su'e said in her heart.

But the Jade Emperor just liked watching Chang'e dance, so he appointed Chang'e as the Master of Guanghan Palace.

"Humph, she is just a widow whose husband has died, a broken and withered body, how could she be so favored by His Majesty and become the head of this palace?"

Su'e was indignant.

However, the system in heaven is strict, and "rebellion" is a serious crime.

Su'e didn't dare to show any of her jealousy and could only suppress it in her heart and barely maintain superficial peace.

The dance is about to end.

Su'e turned lightly and spun in circles, but accidentally passed by the Jade Rabbit Fairy who was pounding medicine under the laurel tree.

The Jade Rabbit Fairy was pounding the medicine with great concentration, but unexpectedly some medicine residue suddenly flew out from the pestle and landed on Su'e's white wide-sleeved fairy skirt.

Suddenly, the wide-sleeved fairy dress that was as pure as snow was stained by the medicine, leaving several conspicuous stains.

"Jade Rabbit, why are you so careless!"

"You don't have eyes!"

When Su'e saw this, she was instantly filled with anger and kicked Yutu's medicine bowl away.

"Su'e, I..."

The Jade Rabbit Fairy was stunned. She stood up and was about to apologize, but she didn't expect Su'e's anger to have not dissipated.

Su'e still felt unsatisfied, so she slapped Yutu hard on the pretty face.

An obvious slap mark instantly appeared on Yutu's little face, and tears of pain welled up in her eyes.

"A rabbit is a rabbit. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're on a high branch."

Su'e lifted up her contaminated skirt and turned away angrily.

"Oh my, how could this Su'e be so impulsive that she actually hit someone!"

Chang'e was horrified and hurried forward to check the face of the Jade Rabbit with distressed eyes:

"Yu'er, let me see your face..."

Yang Chan also frowned slightly when she saw this, but since she was the Jade Emperor's dancer, she couldn't say anything.

Yang Chan took out the Precious Lotus Lantern and floated over.

The Precious Lotus Lantern emitted a soft and warm light, shining on Jade Rabbit's face, healing her wounds and relieving her pain.

Jade Rabbit raised its head stubbornly and watched Su'e leaving.

On her pretty face, a hint of resentment flashed in her red rabbit eyes.

Rabbits also hold grudges!

……

The ninth layer.

Chixia Mountain.

In the night by the Tianhe River.

"Yang Chan..."

Xiao Chen finished looking at the moon and glanced at the figure in the emerald green dress again.

Under the moonlight, the figure looked even more plump and graceful, making people's heart beat faster.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen returned to Yang's house.

……

Chixia Mountain, Yang’s House.

Princess Halloween has finished her bath and put on the heavenly soldier armor again, transforming into the heavenly soldier Yang Long.

She sat quietly at the table with a solemn expression. In front of the table was an exquisite box, which emitted a faint golden light and seemed to contain some treasure.

At this time.

Xiao Chen pushed the door open and closed it.

"You're back……"

Princess Halloween looked up when she heard the voice, a gentle smile appeared on her lips, and she greeted.

"This is……"

Xiao Chen's gaze fell on the box in front of Princess Halloween.

Princess Wansheng gently pushed open the lid of the box, and saw five glittering first-level golden pills lying inside. These golden pills exuded a faint medicinal fragrance, which made people know that they were extraordinary products at the first smell.

"Are these first-level golden elixirs all your savings?"

Xiao Chen asked through the Mosquito brand wireless phone.

Yang Guoshan and Yang Long are cousins. They are very close and know each other well.

In front of Princess Halloween was a box of "First-level Golden Pills", about five pills.

The golden elixirs in heaven are also divided into different grades.

The best one is the "Nine-Turn Golden Pill" refined by Laozi.

The "Nine-Turn Golden Pill" was the elixir that Sun Wukong tasted when he made trouble in Heaven. Its power and miraculous effect were unparalleled.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was carefully refined by the Jade Emperor Laozi in the Tushita Palace with his endless magic power and the mysteries of heaven and earth. It represents the pinnacle of Laozi's alchemy skills.

The Nine-Revolution Golden Pill is extremely precious. It is a treasure provided by Heaven to the immortal cultivators in the Three Realms to prolong life and improve their cultivation.

After Sun Wukong ate the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill, his cultivation level increased greatly. He caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace and challenged the Buddha Tathagata alone.

However, the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill is not easy to obtain. Only at the "Dan Yuan Conference" grandly hosted by the Jade Emperor can cultivators have the opportunity to see its true appearance. What's more, some can even obtain this pill to aid their practice.

The grandeur of this "Danyuan Conference" can be seen from this.

Below the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, there are various levels of elixirs such as the One-Turn Golden Pill, the Three-Turn Golden Pill, the Five-Turn Golden Pill, and the Seven-Turn Golden Pill. They each contain different mysteries of heaven and earth and magic power, and the difficulty of refining and the effect also increase with the number of turns.

As the saying goes: "Three turns correspond to the three talents, five turns combine the five elements, seven turns resemble the Big Dipper, and nine turns reach the ultimate number."

The higher the level of the golden elixir, the more difficult it is to refine and the more powerful the effect.

As the Taoist heaven, there are naturally many alchemists in it. Laozi's Tushita Palace is just one of them.

The Golden Furnace Boy and the Silver Furnace Boy under Taishang Laojun's tutelage can both make elixirs.

There is no shortage of alchemy masters among the disciples of the three religions: the orthodox religion, the evil religion, and the human religion.

Therefore, the Heavenly Palace set up a special alchemy department to refine elixirs for the gods to meet their needs for spiritual practice.

There are three treasures in heaven, which are famous in the three realms: Laojun Pill, Jade Emperor Wine, and Queen Mother Medicine.

The Queen Mother's medicine, such as the peaches, was used for entertaining the gods and awarding salaries, which was the famous "Peach Conference".

Taishang Laojun specializes in refining the highest level seven-turn golden elixir, nine-turn golden elixir, etc. When the elixir is ready, it will cause a sensation in the heaven.

The elixir of Taishang Laojun, the banquet for all gods and the salary payment to all gods are called "Danyuan Conference".

It was recorded in the original book that Taishang Laojun paid homage to the Jade Emperor and said after the ceremony:
"I refined some 'Nine-transformation Golden Pills' in the Taoist palace and prepared them for Your Majesty's 'Dan Yuan Conference'. Unexpectedly, they were stolen by thieves. I am here to inform Your Majesty of this."

When the Jade Emperor heard this, he was "horrified and frightened", which shows how precious and important the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill is.

Sun Wukong caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, which not only disrupted the Queen Mother's "Peach Festival", but also disrupted Laozi's "Dan Yuan Festival".

……

"Yes, that's right."

Princess Halloween affirmed:
"I used all of Yang Long's Tianlu points to exchange for these first-level golden elixirs."

Among the many golden elixirs, the first-turn golden elixir and the third-turn golden elixir are open to the heavenly soldiers and generals.

The heavenly soldiers and generals can exchange these golden pills with the "Tianlu Points" they have accumulated in heaven. After taking them, they can improve their cultivation and enhance their strength.

Wherever there is civilization, there is currency.

The properties of currency are: universality and scarcity.

For example, in prison, cash is prohibited, and the supply of cigarettes in prison is limited, while most prisoners may like to smoke cigarettes to relieve boredom.

There are even some prisons where cigarettes are not supplied at all, which makes cigarettes a scarce resource in prisons and thus takes on the nature of currency.

These first-level golden elixirs, third-level golden elixirs and other elixirs are actually the more common "currency" in the heavenly realm. After all, everyone can use them and they are relatively scarce.

"Ao Yao, what's your plan?"

Xiao Chen asked Princess Halloween.

Princess Halloween smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes:
"I plan to use all these first-level golden elixirs to bribe Duan Tianliang."

"Tell him to see if he can take us with him when he leaves for his thirty-three-day duty."

Xiao Chen thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded in agreement:
"Oh? That's a good idea."

"If we can take advantage of Duan Tianliang's 'ride', we can successfully enter the Thirty-three Heavens and look for the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum."

The gods at the lower level naturally cannot just run to the higher levels at will.

However, there are exceptions.

That's when there's a mission.

Even in the Thirty-three Heavens, there are still many grassroots tasks, requiring heavenly soldiers and generals to guard the palaces and treasuries, to stand sentry, and to patrol...

However, those who can go to the Thirty-three Heavens to carry out missions are generally the elite among the heavenly soldiers, that is, the golden-armored heavenly soldiers.

The golden-armored celestial soldiers can lead several silver-armored celestial soldiers to form a celestial soldier team to carry out missions.

The Thirty-three Heavens are the highest heavens, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, the speed of cultivation is fast, and there is also a chance to meet the Jade Emperor. Therefore, missions to the Thirty-three Heavens for duty are generally very popular and in high demand.

Everyone is trying their best to go on the 33-day duty, and the competition is very fierce.

……

at the moment.

After careful consideration, Princess Halloween finally concluded that the precious "Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum Grass" was hidden in the Thirty-three Heavens.

In this case, Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng’s top priority is naturally to go to the Thirty-three Heavens to find out the exact location of the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum and plan how to steal it.

However, the rules in heaven are strict and the levels are clear, so it is not easy to enter the thirty-three heavens easily.

After some planning, Princess Halloween quickly came up with a plan - "bribing the captain of the golden-armored heavenly soldiers."

Although this is not the right way, in a complex place like Heaven, sometimes extraordinary measures are necessary.

The plan was decided, and both demons had a plan in mind.

then.

Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng slept peacefully in Yang's house, recuperating and preparing for tomorrow's action.

The first day in heaven passed just like this.

……

The next morning, it was just dawn.

Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng went to the tenth heaven to visit Captain Duan Tianliang.

After arriving at the cloud ladder communication point on the tenth heaven layer, Xiao Chen paid ten days of luck points and exchanged them for a nimble "message blue bird".

Xiao Chen wrote his intention of visiting Duan Tianliang on the message talisman, then gently tied the talisman to the blue bird's claws and let it go.

The messenger blue bird flapped its wings and flew high, delivering their news to Duan Tianliang.

Not long after, the "messenger blue bird" returned as promised, with Duan Tianliang's token hanging on its claws.

This is their pass to enter the tenth heaven.

Xiao Chen held the token and went to the barrier with Princess Halloween.

Seeing this, the guard carefully checked the token and let them pass.

Duan Tianliang's residence is located at the foot of Yuzhou Mountain on the tenth heaven layer. It is an elegant residence with its own gate and courtyard. The courtyard is lush with green trees, and the branches and leaves interweave into a green sky, adding a bit of tranquility and elegance to this small world.

The fragrance of flowers and the gentle breeze, with a faint aroma of grass and trees, make people feel relaxed and happy, as if they are in a paradise far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

The conditions here are naturally much better than the residence where the silver-armored heavenly soldiers like Yang Guoshan live.

At this time, Duan Tianliang, dressed in casual clothes, was meticulously practicing the "Chicken Feet Kung Fu" taught by "Little Zhang Xingjun" in the courtyard.

I saw him constantly thrusting forward, his movements were continuous, and he was muttering something:
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

"Iron Mountain Damn!"

"Continuous Iron Mountain Lean!"

……

Although the look was a little funny, Xiao Chen naturally didn't laugh.

People all want to move up.

In the strictly hierarchical world of heaven, everyone wants to climb up. If you don’t climb up, you will be stepped on.

Even if you find a "chicken" to rely on, it is much better than having no backing.

When it comes to survival, is there any distinction between "despicable" and "noble"?

Survival is the bottom line.

……

Now is not a good time to disturb Duan Tianliang.

Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng understood each other tacitly and stood quietly by the side, patiently waiting for Duan Tianliang to finish practicing this set of "Chicken Feet Kung Fu".

Finally, Duan Tianliang finished his mission and stood up, breathing a sigh of relief.

He turned around and saw Xiao Chen and Princess Wan Sheng, and exclaimed:

"This little Zhang Xingjun's Iron Mountain Kung Fu is really amazing. You won't know how profound it is until you practice it. Once you practice it, you will know how profound it is. It is amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen showed a trace of solemnity on his face, and agreed seriously:
"Captain, you are absolutely right. Your skills are truly extraordinary."

"I watched the captain practice martial arts, and every move and every form contained a mysterious aura of the Tao, which really benefited me a lot."

Duan Tianliang smiled slightly, seeming satisfied with Xiao Chen's response.

He said, "You two, come into the mansion and talk."

Say it.

Duan Tianliang led Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng into the Duan Mansion.
