Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 99 My fate is in my own hands, and it will take billions of years to turn the elixir into gold!
Time is like a galloping horse, and years are like falling flowers and flowing water.

Che Chiguo.

It's another golden October.

On the streets, in the farmland, between the vegetable fields, and in the orchards.
Smiling common people can be seen everywhere, walking in the fields and streets carrying, lifting or pushing simple wooden carts, chatting, laughing and talking about family matters. Their words are all filled with joy for the harvest.

“This wheat is really good.”

Beside the path in the field, a family of several people who had just finished their work were sitting on the dirt path eating, drinking water and resting.

At this time, the skinny old man sitting in the middle and smoking a pipe suddenly reached out and took a handful of yellow wheat from the basket beside him. He looked carefully at the full shape of the wheat grains and couldn't help but sighed: "Over the years, the harvest has been getting better and better. We have to thank our national teacher for this!"

"Grandpa, this wheat was harvested by you, my father, and my uncle."

After hearing what the old man said, the half-grown child who had just finished drinking water said loudly: "What's the matter with the national teacher? Why should we thank him? I heard that he..."

next second.

The old man smoking nearby suddenly changed his expression, and immediately raised his hand and hit him hard with his cigarette.

"Boom"

"suffer"

Before the boy could finish his words, he suddenly felt a headache. He immediately cried out, covering his head and burst into tears.

At the side, the skinny old man, whose face had already changed greatly, held a pipe in his hand, looked at his grandson with an extremely serious face and scolded: "You can only say that the national master is a little bastard. Without the national master, you little bastard would not know where you are!"

"Your grandfather almost starved to death! I almost had to drag your father to the stall to be sold!"

"It was the Imperial Master who prayed for rain, which saved our entire family. That's how your father was able to marry your mother, and that's how you, a little bastard, were born!"

"Next time I hear something like this, I will beat you to death!"

The skinny old man cursed loudly, and the daughter-in-law beside him dared to wait until her father finished cursing before she took her son into her arms and whispered: "Dad, the kid is ignorant and still a child. Don't be angry. We all know that it was the national master who was a god in the world and it was the national master who saved us."

After hearing what his daughter-in-law said, the old man didn't say anything, but just sighed and said: "Do you think the national teacher only prayed for rain? You are wrong! At that time, the Buddhist monks were so powerful that every household had to pay incense money every month. If anyone dared not to pay, they would come and rob them directly. If the daughter or daughter-in-law of a family was good-looking, they could only hide, otherwise, they would be dragged away."

"How could you know that the Imperial Master not only prayed for rain, but also used his divine power to kill the monk who was the Imperial Master at the time, which saved the lives of the rest of us."

“People should never forget their roots.”

"Dad, I know that your daughter-in-law goes to Jinshan Temple to burn incense to the national master every 15th of every month. Don't worry about it. We don't care about other families, but we will never forget our roots!"

The sun rises and the moon sets,

Yunjuan Yunshu.

Sixteen years.

It has transformed Chechi State from a poor, corrupt and destitute country to a prosperous one with its people living and working in peace and contentment.

It also made the incense in Jinshan Temple more prosperous.

The sky is filled with clouds and mist all day long, making it more majestic and magnificent.

The backyard of Jinshan Temple.

A window overlooks the beautiful lake.

A tall, strong man with a bald head, brown skin and small eyes was sitting in front of a long table filled with all kinds of food. Opposite him sat a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, a slightly elegant temperament, and wearing a long gown.

"Hey, second brother"

At this time, the bald man picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He lay down in front of the long table without any sitting posture. He looked at the middle-aged man opposite and asked, "How long ago was it that we last saw the third brother?"

"Three months ago."

The middle-aged man picked up a peanut from the plate in front of him and threw it into his mouth. He then took a sip from the wine bowl in front of him and said, "Third brother came out and found us. We had a drink and then went back to continue practicing."

"Hey, Third Brother is so hardworking, but we are just like this."

The bald man sighed and said, "Isn't it too lazy?"

"It is okay"

Hearing what was said, the middle-aged man just smiled and said, "Third brother is different from us. We don't need to compete with him. Doesn't eldest brother want to compete with third brother?"

“When I was in the mountains, I had some ideas.”

The bald man shook his head and said, "It's gone now. I just want to help my third brother take care of this car."

"yes."

The middle-aged man nodded, looked out the window at the sparkling lake in the distance, and said leisurely: "If it weren't for my third brother, we would probably still be in the mountains now. How could our lives be compared to today?"

"That's right, hehe"

The bald man laughed when he heard the voice, then he remembered something and said immediately: "By the way, what happened in the North District the other day? Was it caused by some foreign monsters?"

Middle-aged man: "It's just a ghost with some cultivation. I ate it."

"Hey"

Hearing this, the bald man immediately laughed and said, "We have never seen ghosts in the mountains, but there are quite a few in the human world. Next time there is something strange, let me come."

"Come on, do it."

The two people joking were naturally Changya and Dajiao who followed Qi Hu to Chechi Kingdom many years ago.

Ever since the third brother announced that he would go into seclusion and concentrate on cultivation, the two of them took over Jinshan Temple to maintain its operation, and were also responsible for some troublesome matters in the entire Chechi country.

Of course, it’s not that they didn’t practice for fun, but they were not as diligent as the third brother.

Deep in Jinshan Temple.

Inside the tallest building.

Incense curls up.

In the slightly spacious and empty room, there was only a cushion in the middle and an incense burner in the corner of the room.

At this time, on the cushion, a tall man in a white silk robe, with black hair hanging down to his shoulders and a handsome face like jade was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and his hands clasped together. There were white auras mixed with golden light lingering around his body, making him look extremely solemn.

"call"

At this moment, a long breath suddenly sounded.

Followed by.

A white rainbow like an arrow was emitted from the meditating man's mouth and flew all the way to the door before dispersing.

immediately.

The meditating man opened his eyes, and the brilliant golden light in his eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by a pair of bright, deep black eyes.

“It’s still a little short.”

“Just a little bit.”

Feeling his whole body full and plump, feeling the wind and thunder stirring and chaos surging in his dantian, he had reached the extreme of his current realm, but still could not become round and one, and condense into a pill. The man couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Where is the difference?"

a long time.

The man closed his eyes again.

When I opened my eyes again.

All the worries in the man's eyes disappeared, leaving only a deep darkness.

"call"

He exhaled a breath of turbid air.

The man's mind moved slightly.

Virtual ink characters emitting a pale white glow began to spread out before my eyes.

This man is naturally the national teacher of Chechi State, Qishan Zhenren, and the tiger demon Qi Hu.

After several plots many years ago, he finally took the position of Chechi State Master, fulfilled an important promise made more than ten years ago, and got in touch with Zhang Daoling, the leader of the four great heavenly masters in heaven. Then he ventured back to the mountain and took his eldest brother Changya and second brother Dajiao away from Jindou Mountain.

Although the process was very thrilling.

But at least it kept the two sworn brothers away from the memory of the entire Jindou Mountain being wiped out by the pilgrims' team.

This also completely fulfilled his ideal when he first traveled to Jindou Mountain and became a monster at the lowest level.

then.

After returning to Chechi Kingdom, he devoted himself to being the national teacher. Because he had been beaten by his former superior, the bull demon Heijiao, he was also worried about the three brothers, Huli Daxian, the original three national teachers of Chechi Kingdom, who came to take away the ladder he would use to obtain the heaven in the future. There was also the arrival of the pilgrim team, which was like a guillotine hanging over his head.

So he felt a great sense of urgency.

Even in the Chechi Kingdom, where he could enjoy himself as he pleased, he began a determined journey of long-term and arduous cultivation.

It has been more than sixteen years.
now.

His cultivation had already reached the peak of the late stage of the spiritual realm, but he was only one step away from condensing the Yuan Dan and becoming a great demon who ruled the mountain, but he had yet to achieve the goal.

It has been three years
Over the past three years, he has tried various methods many times and is convinced that he is on the verge of condensing the Yuan Dan, but he has never been able to take that final step.

[Realm: Late Spiritual Realm (99.99%)]

【Soul: 1.7】

[Kung Fu: Yueyin Qi-eating Method (minor success) (98.95%); Jiuhua Golden Seal (minor success) (95.32%); Kansi Rain-seeking Method (minor success) (17.26%)]

[Supernatural powers: Containing breath (great accomplishment); Cheek pouch (great accomplishment); Escape (great accomplishment); Immobilization (minor accomplishment); Tiger roar (minor accomplishment); Ghost (minor accomplishment); Agility (minor accomplishment); Walking on the ground (minor accomplishment); Pretending to shed skin (minor accomplishment); Golden armor shield (proficient); Wind escape (proficient); Great strength (proficient); Moving (proficient); Water escape (proficient)...]

【.】

Looking at the ink words that keep appearing in front of me.

Qi Hu's face was as calm as water.

The realm barrier has already reached the current limit. If he cannot take that step and become a Yuandan, his cultivation will remain here forever.

Soul column, the 1.7 soul powers were earned on the way when he brought his elder brother and second brother to Chechi Country. However, now he has no abilities with a proficiency level lower than the "proficient" stage, so he cannot improve it.

Skill column.

Not to mention the "Yueyin Food Breathing Method", the "Jiuhua Gold Seal" seems to be better and of a higher grade, so its proficiency increases more slowly than the former.

But fortunately, over the years, he has been able to hone his skills to perfection.

However, the proficiency growth of "Kansi True Method of Praying for Rain" is different from that of other techniques.

Every time he prayed for rain, his proficiency would increase significantly.

However, the success of this method of praying for rain was thanks to the fact that when he first became the national teacher, he traveled all over the Chechi Kingdom to pray for rain and relieve disasters in various places.

As for the changes in the supernatural power column.

These years have been big and small.

The first is the perfection of his magical power of "hiding". This magical power and "holding breath" are his life-saving powers, so he naturally cannot neglect them.

However, some very practical magical powers such as "Immobilization" and "Tiger Roar" have undergone certain changes, but they are not very big, because after a small success, the experience value growth is very slow.

Because Qi Hu was practicing, he couldn't take care of all of them. He could only find time to practice the ones with the highest priority when he felt bored with his practice.

Keep looking down.

You can see several new magical powers in the magical power column.

These magical powers were not learned by Qi Hu from other monsters as usual, but were learned from the heavenly technique "Jiuhua Golden Chapter".

"Golden Armor Shield" can provide a spiritual shield for the body, and is Qi Hu's first defensive magical power.

"Wind Escape", as the name suggests, is the magical power of flying. After being blessed, it can make him fly faster.

"Tengnuo" means that within a certain range, the body can move freely. In layman's terms, it is equivalent to "flash", a very practical magical power.

And the last one is "Water Escape", which is also easy to understand. It is water escape, which allows you to move freely underwater.

The above four magical powers are all very practical and powerful. As for some other minor magical powers or abilities, Qi Hu has comprehended even more in the past sixteen years.

Before this, Qi Hu had practiced the "Moon Yin Eating Air Method" for more than 20 years, but had not been able to comprehend any magical power from it.

Just from this point, one can tell the difference between the two techniques.

This also shows why the bull demon Heijiao tried so hard to snatch Qi Hu's martial arts.

The gap between different techniques is really too huge.

"call"

After carefully looking at his own data and capabilities, Qi Hu couldn't help but let out a long sigh again.

But the turbid air has just come out.

Qi Hu immediately became alert: "No, why am I so restless today?"

Then, his divine sense immediately swept over the entire Jinshan Temple below him.

In the outer courtyard, in front of the main hall, the incense was burning brightly, with many mortals offering incense, and the Taoist children receiving and maintaining the service.
In the middle courtyard, Xiong Er, the ghost in charge, is seeing off the visitors from the palace.
In the backyard, the eldest and second brothers were drinking and eating meat.
Everything is normal.
When I contacted the one-eyed bear demon who followed the king of the palace, he replied that everything was normal.

He then notified Hongye, the snake demon's female ghost who was wandering around the outer city like a troll, and that guy immediately replied, saying that nothing was wrong.

But with his current cultivation level, it is impossible for him to have a sudden impulse for no reason.
then.

Qi Hu stood up, disappeared from the quiet room in one step, and appeared on the bank of the lake in the backyard.

It was evening.

The sun has not yet set in the sky.

The sky is full of colorful clouds.

Qi Hu stood on the lakeside, looking at the golden sunlight shining on the calm lake, the cool evening breeze blowing, the grass and trees swaying, the lake surface surging, and suddenly the thought of "the lake and the mountains are in harmony, the sky and the clouds wander together" emerged in his mind.
For a moment, I just felt that the scenery was beautiful
For an instant.

Qi Hu noticed something and his eyes suddenly brightened with golden light.

next second.

Qi Hu, dressed in a white silk robe and with black hair draped over his shoulders, appeared outside the Jinshan Temple, moving around the capital of Chechi State with one step at a time.

After today.

News spread throughout the inner and outer cities of Chechi State's capital that people from all over the country had seen the true face of the national master, who had not appeared for many years.

Let’s not mention this matter for now.

As the sky gradually darkened.

The setting sun disappears and the colorful clouds return home.

After touring the entire Chechi capital at an extremely fast pace, Qi Hu returned to the quiet room on the highest building of Jinshan Temple.

Three days later.

It is another evening with the golden sunset still in the air and the sky full of colorful clouds.

Above Jinshan Temple,
Suddenly, a pleasant and heavenly music was heard.

In the inner courtyard, the bald man Changya and the elegant middle-aged man Dajiao, who were sitting opposite each other drinking, suddenly changed their expressions and immediately looked up at the sky.

next second.

An extremely huge and surging spiritual power rose from the tallest building of the Houguan, instantly sweeping across the entire Jinshan Temple, and then swept across the entire capital of Chechi Kingdom.

For an instant.

Chijiu Changya and Dajiao reacted immediately, looked at each other, and immediately ran towards the depths of the backyard with great joy.

In the corner tower of the tallest building.

A handsome man in a white silk robe, with disheveled black hair and an imposing manner, was looking at the void in front of him with great interest, at a golden, round and fragrant pill.
