Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 34 Hunyuan Furnace

Of course, Niu Yi was just feeling a little emotional and not complaining at all.

During the five years of his journey towards Jindou Mountain, he also saw how many people sought the truth but could not find it, and some even died in depression.

Wasn't he in the same situation at the beginning, wanting to become a disciple but being unable to do so?

Nowadays, seeing these pharmacopoeias and medical books, each one of them is enough to attract countless seekers to pursue it. If you can learn even a little bit, you will be a miracle doctor in the world.

Fortunately, he has finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Niu Yi took a last look at the pharmacopoeia and medical books, slowly walked out of the Sutra Library, and closed the door tightly.

At this moment, he still had a very important thing to do.

Niu Yi picked up a shovel in the utility room, walked quickly to the outside of the mountain gate, looked at the big pine tree several meters high on the side of the mountain gate, and walked forward slowly.

“It must be this pine tree.”

Since it is not displayed outside, it is most likely sunk into the soil.

Niu Yi took the shovel and kept digging the ground under the tree, with anticipation in his heart.

The meaning of Senior Brother Guanghui was very clear. It was obvious that this tripod and furnace was what Senior Brother Guanghui asked him to get for making incense.

Senior Brother Guanghui said that this cauldron was refined by the founder himself, so it must be extraordinary.

Niu Yi shoveled for a long time and dug half a foot deep next to the pine tree, but still did not see any tripod or furnace.

Niu Yi was not in a hurry. Judging from the character of his senior brother Guanghui during this period, he knew that what he said would not be lost for no reason.

After Niu Yi shoveled the ground again, a ray of light suddenly burst out from the gap created by the shovel and rushed straight into Niu Yi's mind.

Niu Yi felt a flash before his eyes and then lost consciousness.

[Hunyuan Furnace: Hunyuan means the beginning of the primordial energy, when the primordial energy is not yet divided and is in chaos and unity.]

When Niu Yi woke up again, he found himself in a chaotic place. It was dark all around and above his head, but white mist was floating under his feet, dragging him up.

Not far in front of him, a three-legged tripod stood there quietly.

However, I saw that the tripod furnace was three feet high, and I didn't know what material it was made of. The body of the furnace was purple gold, which was neither gold nor jade. It was a mixed Yuan Qi, and it seemed to be surrounded by galaxies. It was engraved with Yin and Yang Bagua, the Big Dipper, and the stars in the sky, which was extremely mysterious.

"This is the Hunyuan Furnace."

Niu Yi's heart was shaken, and he walked forward slowly. He already knew that this was the deepest part of his sea of ​​consciousness.

But he never imagined that the small tripod furnace mentioned by Senior Brother Guanghui turned out to be such a big treasure.

This was the first time he had seen a treasure of this rank, and even his Duobao Shenniu talent could not detect it.
Niu Yi stood in front of the Hunyuan Furnace and slowly reached out his hand towards it, only to see the Hunyuan Furnace shrink rapidly and converge mysteriously, falling into Niu Yi's hand by itself, like an ordinary purple gold tripod furnace ornament.

A sense of enlightenment arose in Niu Yi's heart.

"Big or small, Ruyi can ignite the Hunyuan Yiqi fire and refine elixirs and make incense."

"The Hunyuan Qi Fire in this Hunyuan Furnace, when at its peak, could refine anything in the Three Realms. But now, I can only activate it to burn spiritual materials."

Niu Yi understood clearly that he was not capable of refining the Hunyuan Furnace at the moment, and it had not recognized him as its master. He only had the right to use it.

I'm afraid that even Senior Brother Guanghui has not been able to fully refine this Hunyuan Furnace.

But even so, he was already extremely satisfied with being able to use this Hunyuan furnace to make incense.

Niu Yi held the exquisite, ornamental cauldron in his hand, his eyes closed. When he opened them again, he saw his own thatched cottage, with rays of sunlight pouring in through the window. He was still sitting cross-legged on the bed, but in his hand was an exquisite purple-gold cauldron.

Niu Yi looked at the Hunyuan Furnace in his hand. As his mind moved, the Hunyuan Furnace suddenly disappeared and fell back into the deepest part of his sea of ​​consciousness.

"It can be stored in the sea of ​​consciousness, in and out as you like, and any size you like. It's really convenient."

Generally speaking, only some top-level magical weapons that have completely recognized their master can be stored in the body or sea of ​​consciousness, but this Hunyuan furnace can easily do this, but...
"It's clearly a treasure of the Three Realms' highest rank, yet besides not only has it not benefited me in the slightest, it hasn't even gained any treasure energy. If I could refine this treasure, I wonder how much faster my cultivation would be. Becoming a Demon Marshal in a year, or a Demon King in ten years wouldn't be a dream."

This is the physique of his Multi-Treasure Divine Bull. The more treasures he has on his body, the better, and the faster he can cultivate. However, this Hunyuan Furnace has no effect on him at all, as if it completely looks down on him.

Well, most likely he really doesn't like it.
For the next period of time, Niu Yi spent his days either refining the Fierce Tiger Picture and the Golden Spirit Jade Bamboo, or using the treasure energy and cause and effect hexagram coins to comprehend the cause and effect hexagram theory. He even left the task of watering the peach trees with spiritual water to the little demons below.

It is worth mentioning that after Niu Yi obtained the Green Bamboo Scroll, the amount of treasure energy he could condense every day increased by two, reaching a total of forty-two strands.

At night, Niu Yi would enter the spiritual state of mind. He would first clean up all the remaining dust in the Taoist temple, and then he would enter the library and read the pharmacopoeia and medical books under the bright moonlight.

Time passed slowly as Niu Yi practiced diligently and steadily, and it was early September.

In the Jindou Cave, the spiritual materials found by the many little bull spirits and monkey demons have been increasing. They have almost plundered all the spiritual materials that Niu Yi needs in the 300-mile area around Jindou Mountain.

But among the jade agarwood fragrance materials that Niu Yi was most looking forward to, there was still one spiritual ingredient missing, and that was the moonlight liquid.

Until this day.
"Do you know where I can find Moonlight Liquid?"

Niu Yi put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the spirit deer standing next to Niu Li in surprise.

The spirit deer was snow-white all over, with antlers on its head branching and lush like branches. There seemed to be a faint moonlight shining under its soft fur, and its limbs were slender and strong.

"Yes, Chief Ox, I overheard that the bull spirits under your command were searching for the Moonlight Liquid. Coincidentally, I know a place where this Moonlight Liquid can be found."

A deep male voice came from the mouth of the spirit deer. It was obviously a male spirit deer that had refined the transverse bone in its throat.

The male spirit deer in front of you is the leader of the spirit deer herd coming from the east.

Niu Yi thought for a moment and then looked at the spirit deer and said:
"what do you want?"

"My people seek your protection."

Niu Yi slowly shook his head and said:

"I can exchange spiritual fruits or other treasures with you, but I am only the leader of Jindou Mountain. As long as you don't offend Jindou Mountain, the affairs of the outside world have nothing to do with me."

"And I see that you have the strength of a great demon, so you should be safe around here. There's no question of whether you'll be protected or not."

The spirit deer refused to give up and slowly lowered its head and said:
"My tribe experienced a great upheaval before and can no longer withstand the turmoil. We need a place to recuperate."

"If you are willing to protect us, we will not cause you any trouble at all, and we will offer you spiritual deer and musk every year."

"Also, our Yuehualu clan is naturally adept at traversing high mountains and dangerous terrains. We can find many uncommon spiritual materials, which should be of some use to you."

Niu Yi looked at the spirit deer bowing to him, was silent for a moment, took out three copper coins from his arms and threw them into the sky.

"Ding Dong~"

As the three copper coins fell on the stone table, Niu Yi looked at the hexagrams formed by the three cause and effect coins on the stone table, tapped the stone table with his fingers, then turned to look at Linglu with a smile on his lips.

"Okay, I agree."
