Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 246 The Queen and the Disciples of Daojun Mountain
After leaving the underworld, Niu Yi returned to his home, Jindu Mountain.

He gained a lot from this trip, reaching an agreement with Guanyin Bodhisattva and obtaining many secrets from his second senior brother.

However, he had initially guessed that his second senior brother might have come from the same place as him in his previous life, but he had just learned from his second senior brother that his second senior brother had been reincarnated from a world called Qingyuan Realm.

While feeling a sense of regret, Niu Yi also inexplicably developed a great deal of curiosity about those worlds.

He also learned from his second senior brother that after Pangu separated heaven and earth in this era, this great god left the Three Realms and went to other worlds. Among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, several others also left together.

The reason why his master and senior brother did not tell him these things back then was probably because his cultivation and abilities were still relatively weak at that time.

As for the scorpion demon, there's no need to rush.

He had originally planned to investigate the relationship between this person and his second senior brother before making any further plans, but now that it was clear that nothing had happened between the scorpion demon and his second senior brother, he could deal with it without worry.

Speaking of which, when he paid homage to the Supreme Dao Ancestor at the Tushita Palace, the Dao Ancestor gave him three Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills.

In his hands, this precious elixir was equivalent to three lives; even if someone died, he could bring them back to life.

He himself could not use them, but perhaps when the Supreme Dao Ancestor gave him these three precious pills, it was so that he could use them when Buddhism was spreading to the East.

Several days later, at the royal palace of the Western Liang Kingdom.

"Yuzhi, I'm so glad you're alright!"

The Queen of Xiliang looked at Yao Yuzhi kneeling before her, quickly stepped forward, pulled her up, and her eyes glistened with tears.

Although she and Yao Yuzhi were mistress and servant, they grew up together and were as close as sisters.

A few days ago, they went out hunting, but on the way they encountered a strange wind, which caused her and Yao Yuzhi to break away from the guard team and be surrounded by a pack of wolves.

To save her, Yao Yuzhi killed several wolves and then lured the pack away, buying her time so that the guards could arrive.

The Queen was deeply worried about Yao Yuzhi, and lost her appetite. She sent many people to search for her in the direction she had left, but no news came back after several days.

Just when she was convinced that Yao Yuzhi was dead, her sister returned safely!
How could she not be overjoyed and cry tears of joy!

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I've caused you worry."

Seeing that the Queen was unharmed, Yao Yuzhi was also somewhat moved after experiencing a life-or-death separation.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back~ Yuzhi, tell me quickly, how did you manage to escape the wolf pack's pursuit~"

The Queen waved for the maids to leave, then pulled Yao Yuzhi to sit on a bench in the room, and they began to chat.

"Your Majesty, this is a long story."

Yao Yuzhi recounted many of the events that occurred at the time, until she came to talk about the old man who lived by the river.

"Your Majesty, that old man's skills are extraordinary. He was able to heal the injuries to my internal organs within three days. It's simply unbelievable."

"The old man once said that he studied medicine under a master when he was young and worked as an itinerant doctor. Do you think this person might have been a disciple of the legendary Daojun Mountain Sect when he was young?"

The Queen smiled and looked at Yao Yuzhi, saying:
"If you're curious, you might ask our royal physician. She's currently treating the maids in the palace. Don't forget, she also came from Daojun Mountain." "Do you have any of the old man's tokens?"

Yao Yuzhi nodded quickly, took out a delicate little box from her clothes, opened the box, and saw two bright red pills the size of longan inside.

As soon as the pill appeared, a faint, refreshing floral fragrance wafted out, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"Your Majesty, this was given to me by that old man. He said that this pill is called the Red Flower Herb Pill, and it was this pill that healed my injuries."

The queen's eyes lit up when she saw the precious elixir, and she exclaimed:

"These two pills must be miraculous medicines, Yuzhi. That old man saved your life and gave you these two precious pills. Our Western Liang Kingdom should repay him handsomely."

"Your Majesty, I have already given the old man the soft gold pouch that you bestowed upon me years ago, but..."

"A purse? Isn't this purse on your waist?"

Upon hearing the Queen's words, Yao Yuzhi was taken aback and quickly looked in the direction the Queen was pointing. She saw the Queen's purse hanging from her waist, swaying slightly.

Yao Yuzhi looked somewhat bewildered, untied her purse, and murmured:
"I clearly remember putting it on that wooden table."

The Queen looked thoughtful for a moment before saying:

"Yuzhi, take these two pills to find Physician Jin and have her check whether these pills came from the right source and whether they belong to the divine physician on Daojun Mountain."

Seeing the Queen's serious expression, Yao Yuzhi quickly stood up and nodded.

"Yes! Your Majesty."

As the Queen watched Yao Yuzhi leave quickly, she pondered to herself.

If the person who saved Yao Yuzhi was indeed a disciple of Daojun Mountain, then this matter could be explained.

It should be noted that even the imperial physician currently in the palace does not dare to claim himself as a disciple of Daojun Mountain, but in the Queen's eyes, his medical skills are already somewhat unpredictable.

According to her, she studied medicine on Daojun Mountain for eight years, but she still could not be considered a disciple of Daojun Mountain. Only those doctors who completed the medical hall's test and were awarded the Daojun Tiger Cudgel could call themselves disciples of Daojun Mountain and plant their own apricot tree on Daojun Mountain. For them, that would be the proudest thing in their lives.

These disciples possessed truly unfathomable medical skills, and they also seemed to know some supernatural methods.

If the person who saved Yuzhi was truly a disciple of Daojun Mountain, even if he was an old man, she could consider letting him settle in Xiliang Kingdom and treating him with the utmost respect.

The medical skills of the Western Liang Kingdom were weak. If it weren't for that imperial physician who came to the Western Liang Kingdom, opened a clinic here, taught apprentices, and spread the medical skills passed down in the medical books, the Western Liang Kingdom probably wouldn't even have a decent doctor to show for it.

Therefore, the imperial physician was highly respected in the Western Liang Kingdom, and even she relied on him greatly. It would be difficult for someone more capable than the imperial physician to settle down in the Western Liang Kingdom.
"Da da da~~"

Half an incense stick's time passed quickly. The Queen heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar. She slowly stood up and looked towards the gate. She saw a woman in a pink dress with a beautiful face but calloused hands running towards her, pulling Yao Yuzhi along.
"Your Majesty! This pill is undoubtedly the Red Flower Hundred Herbs Pill passed down through generations of Daojun Mountain, and the person who refined this pill must also be a disciple of Daojun Mountain!"

The Queen was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately ordered Yao Yuzhi to accompany the imperial physician to the place where the old man had been. Even if they could not invite him to Xiliang Kingdom, they could at least present some gifts as a token of their gratitude.

Unfortunately, Niu Yi had already left, and they were destined to come up empty-handed.
