Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 294 The Manifestation of Inner Demons

Soon after, an elderly man named Master Sun appeared at Daojun Medical Clinic to teach medical skills.

Whenever Master Sun gave a lecture, the hall was always packed, because he wrote books over the years and his words were all quite easy to understand.

This doctor's skills were truly diverse, and he was extremely proficient in treating women and children. In this respect, everyone in the clinic admired him.

No one could have imagined that this man, who looked no more than sixty years old, was actually eighty, yet he still spoke clearly and moved with the agility of a teenager.

When Sun Simiao stayed at Daojun Medical Clinic, Daojun was not on the mountain, but went to the Heavenly Court to meet the Jade Emperor.

Inside the main hall of the Divine Physician Daojun Palace.

"So, you've made up your mind now?"

The Jade Emperor looked at the Daoist Lord with a smile, and saw the Daoist Lord nod earnestly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I request that a portion of my true spirit be allowed to enter the Mirror of the Universe and travel through all the heavens and myriad worlds."

Niu Yi had considered this matter. If only a wisp of his true spirit entered the Universe Mirror, his main body could simply go into seclusion. At that time, he would still have the external avatar of the Divine Physician Daoist Lord to move around in the Three Realms.

When the time comes, he will hand over the many magical treasures in his possession to his own incarnation. Their power will be almost unaffected. When Lü Dongbin is to be reincarnated in a few years, it will not prevent him from protecting Lü Dongbin.

Of course, Niu Yi didn't think that this was completely safe, but fortunately, he had made many good friends throughout his cultivation.

Don't say there are no strong opponents in the Three Realms; he knows even more strong opponents.

Even if any unexpected situation arises, whether it's Nezha, Taiyi Zhenren, Erlang Shen Yang Jian, the Nine-Headed Lion, or the Nine Heavens Demon-Subduing Ancestor of Wudang Mountain, he can invite them to help him if he wants.

That scene
Looking at the Daoist Lord before him, the Jade Emperor understood that this young man must have prepared everything he could and was confident in his ability to do so before agreeing.

"Well, since you've made your decision, come find me when Tang Sanzang and his party return to the Tang Dynasty after retrieving the scriptures from Mount Ling."

As the Jade Emperor spoke, he raised the jade wine cup in front of him, took a small sip, and nodded slightly.

Seeing that the Jade Emperor seemed interested in the apricot wine, the Daoist Lord was surprised, and then said:
"Your Majesty, this wine is brewed from apricots grown in the apricot grove on my Daojun Mountain, and it was also a tribute from my many disciples."

“Apricot wine is common in the Three Realms, but every apricot tree on my Daojun Mountain was planted by my disciples, so the taste of this apricot wine is unique in the Three Realms. I will have some sent to the Golden Palace Cloud Palace later.”

The Jade Emperor nodded slightly to Daojun, stood up, and left Daojun's Palace in a flash of golden light.

"Farewell to Your Majesty."

Daojun straightened up, feeling slightly embarrassed. The Jade Emperor had indeed given him many good things, including his Heavenly Palace of Divine Physician Daojun.

But when you really think about it, he never gave the Jade Emperor anything. His meager gifts were simply not enough to impress the Jade Emperor.

Now that the Jade Emperor seems to be grateful for his apricot wine, he is naturally very happy.

As the Jade Emperor departed, Daojun also left the Divine Physician Daojun Palace and headed towards Lü Dongbin's Great Pure Yang Longevity Palace.

In recent years, as Lü Dongbin is about to descend to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation in more than a hundred years, he has been holding banquets with his friends and the celestial immortals more frequently.

He said he was going to make preparations, but it seems that everything was ready in less than three days in heaven, and then he began to host a banquet for many immortals. While the Dao Lord was attending the banquet, several months had passed in the mortal realm. On this day, Niu Yi, who was comprehending the Dao on Hunyuan Mountain, suddenly opened his eyes and his figure appeared on the top of Jindu Mountain in an instant.

Niu Yi looked at the sky and frowned slightly.

Just now, he clearly sensed a familiar gaze observing Golden Gourd Mountain on the horizon through the Five Elements Formation. That gaze belonged to his junior brother, Wukong.
Niu Yi raised his palm and began to calculate with his fingers. The Nine-Turn Treasure Wheel quickly appeared behind him in a burst of light, and the Causal Divination Coins shone brightly and began to rotate rapidly.

A moment later, a look of realization appeared in Niu Yi's eyes.

"That six-eared macaque was indeed formed from my junior brother's inner demons. No wonder."

A few days ago, Sun Wukong killed several bandits in the mountains and angered Tang Sanzang. In particular, one of the bandits, who was the child of the old man they had stayed at, was also killed by Sun Wukong.

The old man only had one son, who, despite being a bad boy, was expected to stay and care for him in his old age. However, Sun Wukong killed him with a single blow.

Tang Sanzang couldn't bear to kill, so he tried to persuade Sun Wukong twice, but the monkey wouldn't listen and beat him to death with his stick. He was not like a Buddhist monk at all, so in a fit of anger, he drove him away.

At the same time, his junior brother's 'mind monkey' also silently sprouted and grew, transforming into the Six-Eared Macaque.

That gaze just now was the gaze of Sun Wukong from the horizon, but he did not come down to see him. He only glanced at him twice before turning around and heading towards Mount Luojia in the South China Sea, towards Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Junior brother, once you overcome this tribulation, extinguish your inner demons, and tame your restless mind, your future will be worry-free, and you will be able to attain enlightenment."

Niu Yi looked at the night sky, shook his head, and slowly walked towards the thatched hut.

He didn't need to worry about this; the Buddhist sect on Mount Ling would take care of his junior brother's troubles. With the Buddha of the Western Paradise around, what trouble could possibly arise?

He still needs to make preparations for the trip to the Cosmic Mirror.

It took Tang Sanzang and his companions fourteen years to travel to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Now they have completed nearly half of the journey, and for Niu Yi at this point, this time is really not much.

After all, if it weren't for the matter of presiding over the eastward transmission of Buddhism, he would have spent decades in seclusion for cultivation.

With just a few years until he can enter the Mirror of the Universe, Niu Yi's dream is within reach.

Niu Yi entered the thatched hut and sat cross-legged on the bed, entering a state of spiritual tranquility.

As soon as he entered the Lingtai Mindset, he went to the main hall to pay respects to the patriarch as usual. Afterwards, he entered the library, picked up paper and pen, and with his mind as clear as a mirror, he once again sorted out his path of cultivation.

Several months later, the Divine Physician Daojun returned to Daojun Mountain from the Heavenly Court, summoned Sun Simiao, and talked with him for half a day.

At this moment, Daojun was standing on the pavilion of Daojun Palace, watching the figure below gradually disappearing into the distance accompanied by Fang Cheng, and nodded in admiration.

"As expected of the King of Medicine, remarkable, truly remarkable. Of all the medical fortunes in the world, Daojun Mountain alone possesses 70%, and of the remaining 30%, this one alone possesses 25%."

If Daojun Mountain did not exist, this legendary Medicine King would probably have monopolized 70% of the fortune in the medical field.

It can only be said that this person is indeed very capable, almost as if he was born with the destiny of medicine. The medical foundation laid by Daojun Mountain over hundreds of years has also elevated this person to a new level.

Such a physician, possessing both medical ethics and skill, truly deserves the eternal title of "King of Medicine."
