Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 134 There is no way for blessing or misfortune, only people call it upon themselves

Wanshou Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple.

The two boys Qingfeng and Mingyue were standing in front of the gate of Wuzhuang Temple, looking at their master and many fellow brothers flying down from the sky on auspicious clouds.

Seeing their master, the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, descending on the auspicious cloud, the two Taoist children hurried forward, bowing and respectfully saying:
"Welcome, Master."

"Hahaha~ I asked you two to stay and look after the house. Did anything happen?"

Qingfeng said quickly:
"Master, our Wuzhuang Temple is a blessed place for immortals, so no demons dare to wreak havoc here. Only a few years ago, the Taoist Guangyi passed by the temple."

"Mingyue and I followed Master's orders and invited him to the Taoist temple as a guest. After observing him for a while, we found that the Taoist was indeed a man of great enlightenment and quite polite. So Mingyue and I gave him the Earth Yuan Pill that Master had left behind."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard, nodded, and said with a smile:
"Okay~ It seems that you two have a good impression of him. Let's go and have a good talk with the master."

"Yes, Master."

As Zhen Yuanzi spoke, he waved the whisk in his hand, took a square step, stepped onto the stairs, and walked towards the Taoist temple. The two Taoist children Qingfeng and Mingyue hurriedly followed and entered the Wuzhuang Temple with other disciples.

At the top of Jindou Mountain, Niu Yi's soul was sitting opposite the God of Land of Jindou Mountain in the pavilion.

"The Earth God of Tiger Roaring Mountain was taken away by the Heavenly Court? Now you, the Earth God, are temporarily in charge of Tiger Roaring Mountain?"

Niu Yi looked at the Jindou Mountain God of Land opposite him with some surprise, but he saw that the Jindou Mountain God of Land nodded helplessly and said:
"That's exactly what happened. That day, thunder rolled across the sky, and suddenly two chains of lightning stretched out from the sky and bound the giant rock transformed by the Earth God of Tiger Roar Mountain. I saw that the one who did that was the Giant Spirit God."

"I'm afraid the Earth God of Tiger Roar Mountain has committed a serious crime this time. An order has been sent from above to appoint a new Earth God to take up the position of Earth God of Tiger Roar Mountain. Until then, I need to take charge of the territory of Tiger Roar Mountain."

Niu Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said curiously:

"The matter between the landowner of Tiger Roar Mountain and the Tiger Roar King shouldn't be this serious, right? Wasn't he imprisoned by the Tiger Roar King in the beginning? How could he have feigned death for over a hundred years, and now the Giant Spirit God is out to capture him?"

The Earth God of Jindou Mountain also felt that this matter was strange, but he was not very familiar with this person, so he could not explain it in detail. He could only say:
"Perhaps, there are still some hidden secrets in this matter that we don't know."

Niu Yi nodded and then smiled:

"It looks like we'll have a new neighbor in a while, which is really something to look forward to."

On his journey eastward, he also met many local land gods. These land gods were canonized after their death for their great virtues. They were gods of fortune and virtue. From what he could see, although these land gods had different personalities, most of them were kind.

The God of Land of Jindou Mountain nodded with emotion. He had met the God of Land of Huxiao Mountain several times, but Niu Yi had never even spoken to this person, so naturally he was not sad about it.

In Niu Yi's view, this is just like the opening sentence of the "Tai Shang Ganying Pian" that his senior brother told him two days ago:
Good fortune and misfortune have no doors, but are brought upon oneself. The retribution for good and evil follows like a shadow.

This blessing or misfortune depends entirely on one's own behavior and is not affected by the laws of nature.

Niu Yi chatted with the God of Land on Jindou Mountain for a while and then left. Only the God of Land on Jindou Mountain was left sitting in front of the stone table. He looked at the untouched wine bowl opposite him and sighed with emotion.

"Alas, drinking alone just takes away a lot of the fun~"

Elsewhere, in Rotten Peach Mountain, as Niu Yi's Golden Bull Spirit quickly rushed out of the Wanli Spirit Pearl floating in front of him and flew back to Niwan Palace, Niu Yi slowly opened his eyes. "Fortunately, nothing has gone wrong on Jindou Mountain these years. Everything is normal, so I can concentrate on my cultivation in the sect."

Niu Yi slowly got up and walked out the door.

His senior brother came yesterday and said that he would go into seclusion for a few days to refine a few pills, and his senior brother Guangwu was out these days looking for spiritual treasures. Fortunately, he still had a lot of things to do.

Not to mention anything else, just using the Earth Spirit Pearl to comprehend the Great Way of Earth every day would take up a lot of his time.

Once he mastered the Dao of Earth Element, he could use the Earth Escape Technique in the Five Elements Escape Technique to perform various powerful Earth Element spells.

In addition, there are also the magical powers of "Star Chess", "Golden Light Across the Earth", and "Sun and Moon in the Pot" waiting for him to comprehend.

and
Niu Yi walked out and sat cross-legged in the peach forest. A precious light flashed behind him and the Nine-Turn Treasure Wheel emerged in the precious light.

As the amount of precious energy he could condense every day increased dramatically, his five life-saving magic weapons were all nourished by the precious energy during the five years of seclusion.

Although the improvement is not significant, over time, if there is enough treasure energy, several magic weapons will continue to accumulate foundation and finally complete the transformation.

These days, Niu Yi has invested all his precious energy into the red-grade karma hexagram coins, preparing to upgrade his first natal magic weapon to the gold grade as soon as possible.

However, these will require a relatively long period of time to improve, and by then, his cultivation will surely be higher.

As the slowly rotating Nine-Turn Treasure Wheel flashed with precious light, five natal magic weapons appeared one after another and floated in front of Niu Yi.

Niu Yi's eyes swept over these magic weapons one by one, and finally stopped at the scroll with the picture of dragon roar and tiger roar and the Ten Thousand Leaf Golden Bamboo Sword that looked like a golden bamboo.

"My cultivation level has improved too quickly. Back then, these items seemed like top-notch treasures, but now, even the Dragon Roaring Tiger Diagram and the Ten Thousand Leaf Golden Bamboo Sword can't keep up."

Niu Yi shook his head helplessly. He never thought that one day he would be troubled by this.

If it were those seekers of truth from the outside world, any one of these magic weapons would be something they would long for, but judging from Niu Yi's current level of cultivation, these two magic weapons were indeed a bit behind.

Although these natal magic weapons will continue to be fed back and improved as his cultivation level improves and the treasure energy nourishes him, this is destined to be a long process.

"I can only go find some higher-grade natural treasures of the same type and melt them into it to refine it again. It seems that the old Zen Master has anticipated this."

Niu Yi took out the nameless book given by the old Zen master from the snake skin bag and started reading it again.

This nameless book contains several rare treasures that meet Niu Yi's requirements.

But this matter will have to wait for some time. After he has fully understood the way of earth and broken through the realm of the great demon king, he will have to go out for some time. On the one hand, it is to find some good treasures to refine his own magic weapon. On the other hand, it is also to find a decent birthday gift for Brother Jinfu.

This person has always been very kind to him. Over the past hundred years, the two of them have used Jincheng as a bridge to deliver letters several times. He must make good preparations for Brother Jinfu's longevity birthday.
