Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 130 Ten Thousand Years of Gathering Yin Mu Mu Xin

In the mountains and forests, Niu Yi and Niu Touma sat facing each other in front of a stone table.

Niu Yi picked up the bowl of peach blossom wine in front of him and said:

"Two brothers, please~"

"Hahaha~Brother Niu Yi, please~"

Niu Yi and the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon drank the wine from their bowls together. The three of them put down their bowls simultaneously. The Bull-Headed Abang smacked his lips and laughed contentedly:
"Hahahaha, I haven't had this delicious wine from Brother Niu Yi for decades. I really miss it so much~"

"As long as you two like it, I'm glad. We haven't seen each other for decades. Today I'll have a drink with you two!"

The horse-faced man looked at Niu Yi and shook his head with a smile, saying:

"Thank you for your kindness, brother. However, we two cannot stay in the Yang world for long. The underworld has been quite restless recently. We are responsible for capturing the evil spirits that have escaped from the underworld, so we are quite busy."

"I came here this time, firstly to meet Brother Niu Yi, and secondly to express my gratitude to Brother Niu Yi for cooperating with us. If it weren't for Brother Niu Yi's Yin Shen Xiang, I'm afraid we would have been in a lot of trouble with Shi Cui."

As the Horse-Faced Guard spoke, he took out a pitch-black wooden box from the Bashe skin bag around his waist, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Niu Yi.

"Brother Niu Yi, this is the thank you gift we two prepared for you. Please do not refuse it."

Niu Yi looked at the dark wooden box, a precious light flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Bull and said:
"Brother Abang, Brother Mamian, during our last collaboration, the three of us each took what we needed. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to obtain such a large amount of Yin Iron. There's no need to thank you, brothers. Besides, this item is far too valuable."

The Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced beasts smiled at each other, but the Ox-Headed Ah Bang said:
"Brother Niu Yi, this item is actually not that precious to the two of us. To be honest, thanks to your Yin Shen Incense, we have been doing very well in the underworld these years and have gained a lot of benefits."

The horse-faced man also said:
"Yes, Brother Niu Yi, we are sincerely grateful to Brother Niu Yi, so please accept it, otherwise we will not be able to rest easy~"

Seeing these two people say this, Niu Yi had no choice but to accept the thing, and the cheerful atmosphere returned to the stone table.

Half an hour later, the Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon said goodbye and left. Niu Yi gave them ten jars of peach blossom wine and asked them to take them back to the underworld. The Bull-Headed and Horse-Faced Demon gladly accepted them and said goodbye to Niu Yi and left.

Niu Yi looked at the figures of the Ox-Head and Horse-Face who turned into a gloomy wind and left, lost in thought.

"These two haven't mentioned the Yin Shenxiang cooperation, nor have they explained the chaos in the underworld to me. It seems that the underworld is indeed not at peace right now."

"But I think that with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in charge, no matter how chaotic the underworld is, there won't be any problems."

“It’s a pity to cooperate with these two.”

Niu Yi shook his head with some regret. As long as the Yin Ling Iron continued to be absorbed into his God-Locking Chain, it would continue to become stronger, and he could obtain the Yin Ling Iron by refining the Yin Iron with the help of the Hunyuan Furnace.

Unfortunately, these two people have never mentioned cooperation, which means that he can't think about it in the short term, and he has also lost his only channel to obtain Yin Iron.

Fortunately, the current God-Locking Chain is basically sufficient.

Niu Yi thought about this, looked at the black wooden box in his hand, raised his hand to open the lid of the wooden box, and looked at the seemingly ordinary black wooden block inside.

[Ten Thousand Years Gathering Yin Wood Heart (Gold): The heart of the ten thousand years gathering Yin wood, which grows on the banks of the Wangchuan River in the underworld, can nourish the spirit and soul.]

The Wangchuan River, also known as the Naihe River, has a bridge across it, which is the famous Naihe Bridge.

After death, if a person wants to go to the underworld, they must first enter the Ghost Gate, walk through the Yellow Springs Road, and step onto the Naihe Bridge. After crossing the Naihe Bridge, they will reach the underworld. And this ten thousand year old Yin Gathering Wood is the precious wood that grows on the banks of the Wangchuan River.

"Whether this thing is used to refine a magical weapon to nourish the primordial spirit or to make incense, it is an extremely valuable treasure. I never thought that these two would find such a good treasure."

Niu Yi closed the black wooden box in his hand and put it into the python skin bag hanging on his waist. Then he waved his sleeves and the stone table and stone bench beside him all scattered and turned into rubble that flew into the forest.

"Now that the matter here is settled, we can return to the mountains to continue our cultivation."

Niu Yi stretched himself, activated his earth escape ability, and quickly returned to Rotten Peach Mountain. As the moon rose, he once again used the Sun and Moon Dew Technique, causing the sky to be filled with silver light and moon dew, which spread over Rotten Peach Mountain.

In the blink of an eye, another five months passed, and Niu Yi had been in Rotten Peach Mountain for nearly a year.

In the following five months, except for the two times when he went to pay a visit to the master after he came out of retreat, he basically stayed on Rotten Peach Mountain, practicing, planting trees and farming.

Every time he went to pay a visit to the master, the master would ask him to stay for a while to answer his questions and resolve his doubts. In addition, with the presence of the senior brother on weekdays, Niu Yi's path of cultivation began to become smoother than ever before.

During this period of time, Niu Yi had fully comprehended the magical power of "Seventy-two Transformations", and was able to transform into seventy-two kinds of transformations at will.

And his understanding of the magical power of "Golden Light Across the Earth" is also constantly deepening. Now Niu Yi can fly with golden light and fly 20,000 miles a day.

The magical power of "Seventy-two Transformations" has been cultivated to the limit, but the magical power of "Golden Light on the Earth" still has great potential waiting for him to explore.

In addition, among Niu Yi's other two magical powers, the earth escape technique in the "Five Elements Escape Technique" relies on Niu Yi's comprehension and progress of the earth element. It can be said to be far ahead of others. Just by touching the earth and rocks, he can escape three thousand miles away in an instant. The other four elements of gold, wood, water and fire can only escape eight hundred miles in an instant.

With the help of his senior brother, he also made rapid progress in learning the magical power of "Star Chess", and finally realized it.

At this moment, even without the help of the star chessboard, he could draw a star chessboard with nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, using the stars in the sky as chess pieces to trap and kill the enemy.

If he uses the Starry Chessboard as a support to perform the "Starfall Chess Manual", the power will be far greater than before. Although this magical power is called chess manual, it is also the only killing magical power he currently possesses.

On Rotten Peach Mountain, dozens of peach trees full of pink peaches turned into a peach forest, surrounding a thatched cottage in the center.

At this time, Niu Yi was sitting cross-legged on the bed in the thatched hut, closing his eyes and regulating his breathing.

He was preparing to go into complete seclusion for the first time in over a hundred years of his practice.

According to what the eldest senior brother said, if he took the Di Yuan Pill, he would definitely be immersed in the Great Way of Earth. He would need to concentrate on comprehending the Great Way of Earth day and night and could no longer enter the spiritual state of mind.

And this retreat must be calculated in years.

He had been a little worried about the daily meals for the Grandmaster and his two senior brothers during his retreat, but he didn't expect that three months ago, the eldest senior brother had implicitly told him that he could make more and put it in his spiritual state of mind, and there wouldn't be any problem at all.

Niu Yi tried to cook a few more days' meals and put them in the kitchen. However, every time he entered the spiritual state of mind, he saw that the meals seemed to be frozen at the moment they were just out of the pot.

Since then, Niu Yi has prepared five years' worth of meals for his master and two senior brothers in the past three months.

The reason why we didn't prepare more was that there was no room left in the Taoist temple.
Niu Yi slowly opened his eyes and took out the green gourd containing the Diyuan Pill.

I hope that this time, I can completely refine this Earth Yuan Pill within five years.
