Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 120 Earthly Primordial Pill
"Don't misunderstand me, my two children. Thanks to your hospitality, I've fully recovered. It's true that I have important matters to attend to on this trip, and I can't delay any longer."

Seeing this, Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other. Mingyue quickly turned around and ran towards their residence.

In the face of Niu Yi's doubtful gaze, Qingfeng cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Master, please wait a moment. My master left something behind before he left. Please allow the two of us to give it to you."

Senior Zhen Yuanzi, leave it to him?
But after a while, Mingyue came back quickly with a medicine gourd in her hand. She held the arm-sized gourd in both hands and handed it to Niu Yi, saying:

"To be honest with you, Taoist Guangyi, before my master left, he gave this item to the two of us. He also said that if you respect our Five-Zhuang Monastery and are a person who observes etiquette, then he will give it to you."

"This is the Earth Yuan Pill. Even my master spent a lot of effort to refine a furnace of it. This is a precious pill that increases magic power and can be used to comprehend the Great Dao of Earth. The two of us and the other brothers each got one. Now, this is the only one left in Master's hands. I am giving it to Taoist Guangyi."

Niu Yi looked at the green medicine gourd handed to him by Mingyue, thought for a moment, then reached out to take it, bowed, and said solemnly:
"Thank you, both of you immortal children. Please convey this to Senior Zhen Yuanzi for me."

"Guangyi thanks Senior Zhen Yuanzi for the elixir. I am deeply grateful."

"Please rest assured, Taoist priest, the two of us will definitely convey your message."

"Thank you."

After a while, Niu Yi turned around and looked at the Wanshou Mountain behind him, then looked at the green gourd in his hand and carefully put it into his Bashen skin bag.

This Diyuan Pill is a true panacea. It was probably given to this junior by the great immortal Zhenyuanzi out of respect for the ancestor.

"However, from our current interactions, this Zhen Yuanzi Immortal is somewhat different from Master. Judging from the personalities and words of Qingfeng and Mingyue, this Zhen Yuanzi Immortal must also be someone with considerable Xuanmen pride and a strong emphasis on etiquette."

Niu Yi thought that if he met this person in person in the future, he should pay more attention to etiquette, not to mention that this person was an old friend of the master.

Niu Yi slowly turned around and continued walking towards Mount Futu in the east.

By now, he should have walked more than half the distance to Mount Futu. If everything goes well, he should be able to reach Mount Futu in another six months to meet the Zen Master Wuchao.

On his path of spiritual practice, Zen Master Wuchao was the greatest benefactor he met besides his own master. It can be said that he was also the one who led him into the path of spiritual practice.

As for the Diyuan Pill, this kind of precious pill is not so easy to refine. According to Qingfeng Mingyue, it took them both twenty years to completely refine the pill. Among the many disciples of his master in Wuzhuang Temple, they are already in the upper middle level.

I just don't know how long it will take him to refine this Diyuan Pill.

When I reach the gate of my own mountain, Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, I will ask the master for a quiet room and then slowly refine it.

Time flies, and six months have passed in a flash.

When Niu Yi arrived at the foot of Mount Futu, it was spring again, the time when everything was in full bloom and all flowers were in full bloom.

Niu Yi looked at the Futu Mountain in front of him, which was still the same as it was back then, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hahahaha~"

However, he saw a huge crow's nest on the top of Futu Mountain. At this time, a hearty laugh was coming from the crow's nest. At the same time, a golden light quickly fell from the crow's nest and landed in front of Niu Yi, revealing the figure in Zen clothes.

"Old Zen Master, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as elegant as ever~"

Niu Yi smiled and bowed to the old Zen master in front of him.

But the old Zen master looked at Niu Yi and laughed heartily:
"Hahaha~ I can see that you, the bull, are doing well. You've already embarked on the path to the Golden Elixir and have a great master. Now, you should call me Taoist Guangyi~"

It can be seen that the Zen master was also quite happy to see Niu Yi.

"I also have to thank the Zen Master for giving me the scriptures back then."

"Hahaha, don't be polite with me, come with me~ I knew you would be coming soon, and I have already prepared mountain springs and spiritual fruits." As the Zen master said this, he saw a golden cloud rising from under his and Niu Yi's feet, lifting them up, flying quickly up to Futu Mountain, and landing in the Crow's Nest.

Niu Yi and Zen Master Wuchao came to the center of Wuchao together and slowly sat down opposite each other at a wooden table.

However, they saw that there were many spiritual fruits placed on the table, and two cups of clear mountain spring water were in front of each other.

Niu Yi was not polite, he picked up the spiritual fruit on the table, took a bite, and praised:

"This fruit is still as delicious as it was back then."

But Master Wuchao nodded with a smile, picked up a spiritual fruit and started eating it.

Niu Yi finished eating the spiritual fruit in his hand, then took off the Bashe skin bag from his waist and took out many spiritual fruits grown on his own mountain, including spiritual peaches, honey-fragrant oranges, fairy leaf oranges, and nine-leaf treasure oranges.

"Master, I have planted many fruit trees over the years. Please try some of the fruits I have grown."

"Okay, okay, you're so thoughtful~"

The Zen master looked at the spiritual fruits that Niu Yi took out, nodded with a smile, picked up one and started eating.

The two of them sat in the crow's nest, eating and chatting about all kinds of interesting family matters.

Niu Yi mostly talked about his Jindou Mountain and the many bull spirits on the mountain, while Zen Master Wuchao just listened with a smile, never interrupting, and occasionally talked about the interesting things he saw on this Futu Mountain. The two of them were really like a pair of friends regardless of age.

After a while, all the fruits on the table were gone. Zen Master Wuchao pondered for a moment, took out a book and pushed it to Niu Yi.

Niu Yi looked at the scroll pushed by the Zen master in surprise, but saw that there was no title on the book.

"Master, what are you doing?"

The old Zen master shook his head and said with a smile:

"When you return to your master's sect in the future, you can open this thing and take a look at it."

Upon hearing this, Niu Yi was silent for a moment, then solemnly took it, said thank you, and then put it into the Bashe skin bag.

"I see that you have gained some understanding of the law of cause and effect. Would you like to hear my understanding of this principle?"

Niu Yi was delighted when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly, saying:

"I was just about to ask the old Zen master for advice."

The old Zen master smiled and nodded, then waved his sleeves. Golden lotuses and golden mist surrounded the huge crow's nest on the mountain. The old Zen master slowly opened his mouth and talked about the theory of cause and effect.

The old Zen master talked about cause and effect, quoting many Buddhist scriptures, from the shallow to the deep. Although it was also very mysterious, Niu Yi could understand it clearly.

As Zen Master Wuchao continued to explain, Niu Yi soon became immersed in it, and his understanding of the law of cause and effect continued to improve. When Niu Yi came back to his senses from the understanding of the law of cause and effect, he looked up and found that it was already evening.

"That's all for today~ Remember, while the law of cause and effect is of great use to you, don't become obsessed with it."

Niu Yi looked at the Zen Master Wuchao in front of him and nodded seriously.

"Thank you Zen Master for your advice."
