Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 351 On the right track
Daojun Mountain, in the space of incense offerings.

The Divine Physician Daojun stood outside the pavilion, watching a white jade platform covered with array patterns gradually taking shape above the golden sea of ​​clouds, where many officials from the Heavenly Court were busy working.

The platform is quite extensive, with 108 rune pillars radiating a faint glow on it, while at the center of the platform, a golden vortex is slowly rotating inside a white jade gate.

Above this jade gate is a starlight compass, which is the Daoist compass bestowed by the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

At this moment, a government official was flying towards the Daoist Lord on a cloud. After the Daoist Lord came to a stop, the official quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Lord Daojun, Lord Lu said that the great formation will be completed in three more days. At that time, it will connect the two realms, and all entry and exit will be controlled by the great formation on your Daojun Mountain side."

"only."

Seeing the official's hesitant expression, as if he wanted to speak but hesitated, the Daoist Master simply smiled and said:

"Please feel free to speak your mind."

"Yes, Lord Daojun."

"Actually, it was Lord Lu who asked me to remind you that you should pay more attention to the people from another world who came from here in the Three Realms in the future."

"If nothing goes wrong, that's fine. But if something does go wrong, then it will be troublesome. After all, that world belongs to you, Dao Lord, and those who came from here are naturally under your jurisdiction as well."

"What if someone holds them accountable later?"

Daojun nodded slightly at the visibly nervous official before him, took out several jars of apricot wine from his sleeve, and smiled:
"Don't worry, I understand. Please take these apricot wines and give them to Lord Lu for me, and tell him that I thank him for reminding me."

The official breathed a sigh of relief, quickly accepted the apricot wine, bowed to the Daoist Lord again, and flew towards the White Jade Platform as clouds rose beneath his feet.

"Lord Lu is still as direct as ever."

Daojun smiled and shook his head, recalling the many evaluations he had heard of this person in the Heavenly Court. In fact, the Barefoot Immortal's evaluation was the most objective.

Zhang Lu and his two colleagues in the Heavenly Court were both straightforward in their speech, so they weren't exactly popular in the Heavenly Court. However, they were very compatible with the Barefoot Immortal's personality. In a previous conversation, the Barefoot Immortal had also spoken highly of these two.

Furthermore, the Divine Physician Daojun Palace in his Heavenly Court was built by these two individuals. Now that he needs their help to build a teleportation array, how could he blame them for being so direct? Besides, these two were acting out of kindness.

Daojun stood there, looked at the white jade platform for a while, then turned around and left the incense space, appearing in Daojun Medical Hall at the foot of Daojun Mountain in the outside world.

"Oh~ Lord Daojun."

Sun Simiao, who was inspecting the medicinal herbs in the field, seemed to sense something and quickly put down his hoe, turned around, and greeted the Daoist.

"No need for formalities, Physician Sun. Over the decades, you have passed down many medical classics. Now you have achieved your goal and are about to ascend to immortality to meet His Majesty the Jade Emperor."

Daojun also greatly admired the old man in front of him. The old man was the same kind of person as Fang Cheng, kind-hearted and devoted to the medical profession all his life. However, in terms of talent, the old man was far superior to Fang Cheng.

Even without his presence, Sun Simiao would have still read extensively on medical texts and become a legendary medicine master.

Moreover, with his arrival, Sun Simiao, standing on the foundation of Daojun Medical Hall's hundreds of years of accumulation, will naturally achieve even greater success.

Since the other party came to Daojun Medical Hall decades ago, he has written many works in which he identifies himself as a disciple of Daojun Mountain, which shows that he is also grateful and repaying.

Sometimes he would think that only someone with the talent, perseverance, and sincerity of Sun Simiao would be so favored by the fortunes of the medical profession.

“Ascension to immortality,” Sun Simiao nodded with a sigh, but he was not moved by it any further, as if ascension to immortality was nothing more than an ordinary thing for him, and that was indeed the case.

Although he was a Taoist priest, he considered himself more of a physician, and all his knowledge was used to heal the sick and save lives, so that there would be less pain and suffering in the world.

Perhaps the most gratifying thing for him about becoming an immortal is that he can continue to study medicine.

"If I become an immortal in the future, I still wish to live in seclusion with you, Dao Lord, and devote myself to the study of medicine. I hope you can grant me this request."

Sun Simiao has been a teacher at Daojun Medical Hall, on par with Fang Cheng, for decades, and his students are all over the world.

Over the years, he has developed a deep affection for this place and has come to admire the equally sincere healers in this sacred land of medicine.

Daojun nodded slightly.

"This is easy to discuss. If you are willing to stay at Daojun Mountain, I would be very happy to do so. However, you will have to discuss this matter with His Majesty the Jade Emperor yourself."

"Yes, thank you for your kindness, Daoist Lord."

After explaining the matter to Sun Simiao, Daojun rode the clouds and headed towards Jindu Mountain.

Since their true spirits entered the Mirror of the Universe for reincarnation and enlightenment, Niu Feng and the other three have been cultivating in Beiju Luzhou for many years, leaving only Ao Xuan, Jin Feng, and Jin Yun to guard Jindu Mountain.

Fortunately, the Five Elements Formation prevents any major incidents on ordinary days, and the many spiritual plants on the mountain are also well cared for by Ao Xuan and his experienced companions.

As for the mountain god DouDou and the black Qilin, these two mischievous little guys moved their 'battlefield' to the Golden Gourd Cave after the mountaintop became a bit deserted, which gave the group of little bull demons quite a headache.

Fortunately, these two had accumulated enough power in previous years and went into seclusion again, only to be taken back by the Golden-Hooped Earth God, which relieved the group of bull demons.

"Speaking of which, Niu Feng and the other three have learned quite a bit from Fellow Daoist Zhenwu recently, and their progress has been quite rapid."

"Now that I'm back, I might as well stay on Mount Jindu for a while before leaving. I can brew some more fruit wine and spiritual tea, and I can also try out the spiritual soil that the God of Longevity and Emperor Donghua gave me a few days ago."

"Oh right, that nine-headed worm has been sealed in a jar for so many years, I almost forgot about it."

With a smile on his face, Daojun soon saw the misty Jindu Mountain.

Fifteen days later in the world of Liaozhai.

Niu Yi watched as Sun Wukong, carrying the golden cudgel in one hand and the gourd that sealed the demon lord in the other, walked towards the now completely stable golden vortex.

He Liansheng watched this scene with some envy, but unfortunately, he had not yet finished fulfilling his promise to Niu Yi, and could not go to the Three Realms for the time being.

Sun Wukong stopped in front of the whirlpool and grinned at Niu Yi behind him:
"Senior brother, I'll take this one with me. I'll bring some peaches from Flower Fruit Mountain to visit you next time."

Niu Yi nodded with a smile.

"Although this passage is bidirectional, only the Three Realms can determine whether the array is activated. If you wish to come over, remember to tell the Dao Lord."

Sun Wukong nodded and leaped into the passage in front of him.

"Senior brother, I, Old Sun, am off!"
