Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 264 The White Bone Goddess
Daojun stayed at Wuzhuang Temple for another three days before leaving with Zhu Dayou, who had stayed there with him, and returning to his own Daojun Mountain. Meanwhile, Tang Sanzang and his party, who were traveling west, were now on their way to Baihu Ridge.

At the summit of Jindu Mountain, Qingniu looked at the three ginseng fruits shaped like infants on the table and shook his head slightly.

“Brother, you should keep this for yourself. Although this fruit is miraculous and extremely rare even in the Three Realms, making it a first-rate treasure, it is of no use to me.”

"If it's just for a taste, it would be a waste of this treasure. Besides, in my opinion, this thing is probably not as delicious as any random spirit orange from my brother's mountain."

As Qingniu spoke, he casually beckoned a fairy-leaf orange from the orange grove beside him, and then peeled and ate it.

Niu Yi was speechless for a moment after hearing what Qingniu said, and pondered in his heart.

Zhenyuan Daxian was already extremely generous to give him three ginseng fruits, considering that his dozens of disciples and lesser immortals in his temple had only shared one on the opening day of the garden, and another one had been shared the day before yesterday.

However, he had already eaten one, and this person gave him three more, so he ended up with four ginseng fruits all by himself.

Speaking of which, in the "Fragrance Manual" passed down to him by his senior brother, there seems to be a precious fragrance that requires ginseng fruit to make. However, the difficulty of making it is extremely high, and the other spiritual materials required are also extremely precious.

Perhaps he could try to collect some spiritual materials in the Heavenly Court and give it a shot. After all, he has accumulated quite a substantial fortune over the years.

If he could refine it, it would be even better than eating ginseng fruit, after all, he is now a very wealthy and powerful man.

But we need to do this as soon as possible.
While Niu Yi was busy collecting spiritual materials, wanting to add other ingredients to the Grass Returning Pill to refine it into a precious incense, Lady White Bone in White Tiger Ridge had just received news of Tang Sanzang.

"Tang Sanzang?!"

In the White Bone Cave of White Tiger Mountain, Lady White Bone looked at the black fox spirit before her and suddenly stood up from the White Bone Throne, transforming into a dark, gloomy wind that appeared before the black fox spirit in an instant.

"The Tang Monk you're talking about, is he the monk who came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the Western Paradise to seek the true scriptures?"

The black fox spirit nodded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty is right, it is indeed Tang Sanzang! I also learned of this from the monsters nearby. I heard that Tang Sanzang is heading towards our White Tiger Ridge, and he should arrive in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Lady White Bone revealed a greedy glint in her eyes. She looked around at the sea of ​​bones and slowly said:

"I've heard that this Tang Sanzang is a virtuous man who has cultivated for ten lifetimes. If one could eat a bite of his flesh, one could live forever! Now he's delivered himself right to our doorstep."

Lady White Bone pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a plan.

Eating a single bite of this meat would grant her immortality—it would be crazy for her to refuse such a gift offered to her! This is a blessing that takes countless years of good karma to attain!
Didn't you see her devour all the creatures on the mountainside, yet she still couldn't find the way to immortality?

It's infuriating that someone took away the treasure deepest part of White Tiger Ridge back then. If that thing were still there, she would have gained countless benefits from this Tang Monk's flesh, and then she could explore the depths of the earth again and take the treasure. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

I wonder where that thief is now. If I could eat Tang Sanzang's flesh, I would definitely take his life and steal his treasures when we meet again, to vent my hatred!
While the White Bone Demon was plotting against Tang Sanzang, unaware of the formidable opponent she was about to face, she confidently continued her scheme. Meanwhile, in the Wave Moon Cave of Bowl Mountain, not far from White Tiger Ridge, the Yellow Robe Monster was already beginning to feel uneasy.

Meanwhile, inside the Wave Moon Cave, the Yellow-Robed Monster paced back and forth, appearing somewhat uneasy.

He clearly sensed that Sun Wukong was getting closer and closer, and he really didn't want to see that hairy-faced, thunder-mouthed fellow again. That iron cudgel of his had terrified him back then.
"Oh dear, what should we do?"

He was now having a headache over why he had agreed to Taibai Jinxing's request. What good could come of going up against Sun Wukong? He had personally tested it back on Flower Fruit Mountain!

He doesn't seem to be like Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Manifestation.

As the pilgrimage group drew ever closer, the Yellow-Robed Monster began to regret his earlier promise to Taibai Jinxing.
"Cough cough~"

Hearing a sudden cough beside him, the yellow-robed monster was startled and waved his sleeve at the group of demons around him, saying:
"Get out, all of you!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the group of demons hurriedly picked up their weapons and left. Seeing that the lesser demons had all left, the yellow-robed monster turned his head and looked at Venus, who appeared not far away.

"Star Lord, you've arrived."

Venus looked at Kui Mulang approaching and shook his head helplessly, saying:

"How did that monkey scare you so much? You're one of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, even if you couldn't beat it, you should be able to escape with your familiarity with this place."

"However, I did not come down to the mortal realm to tell you this."

"Tell me, are your two children with Baihuaxiu in the cave?"

Upon hearing this, Kui Mulang felt a pang of anxiety. Last time when Taibai Jinxing came here, he had done his best to hide the two children. How come Taibai Jinxing knew about them today and asked about it?
It is true that he and Princess Baihuaxiu had two sons, one ten years old and the other nine years old. They were not particularly intelligent, nor did they possess any extraordinary abilities, but they were still his children.

"Star Lord, they are just two children, what could they possibly do?"

The Star Lord shook his head and said:
"Those two children are destined to face a calamity. If they can overcome it, they will live; if they cannot, they will die."

Speaking of this matter, it was actually something he mentioned to Niu Yi when they were discussing Kui Mulang. Niu Yi had used the Dao of Cause and Effect to divine Kui Mulang's fate, and this time, although there was no real danger, his two children were destined to die.

After all, these two children were conceived by Kui Mulang, who descended to the mortal realm without permission and forcibly abducted Princess Baihuaxiu. In truth, these two children should not exist.
Upon hearing this, the Yellow-Robed Monster's expression changed drastically. His already ferocious face, which had descended to the mortal realm, became even more menacing. Looking at the Venus Star Lord before him, he couldn't help but say:
“Star Lord, those two children are innocent. They may not have been allowed to appear, but they are still two lives.”

Venus was also quite helpless.

Kui Mulang's mind and body were mostly devoted to Princess Baihuaxiu, so he could hardly be considered a good father. Princess Baihuaxiu, in turn, regarded the two children as seeds of demons.

Although they are their own children, they have very complicated feelings about them and are unwilling to interfere much in their lives. Therefore, neither of them can be considered good parents.

Since those two children were born and became aware of things, they have been completely left to their own devices, which is a real pity for them.
