Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 398 Fat Tiger
"Furthermore, today, my two children have successfully transformed into dragons. It is fate that Brother He was able to meet them. Why not stay at my Golden Gourd Mountain for one day and leave tomorrow?"

"This is where I started my business and where I practice my Dao. Brother He, you may also take a stroll around this area."

He Liansheng stood beside Daojun, looking at the surrounding scenery, and saw that this place was also an excellent blessed land for immortals.

The spiritual energy here is pure and abundant, and it is full of spiritual plants. Not to mention the stone pavilion, the pond, and the lush orange and peach groves, even he was quite amazed by it at this moment.

He Liansheng put down the thorny chain in his hand and nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

“In that case, I will trouble Daoist Lord for another day at Jindu Mountain. However, Daoist Lord has been kind to me several times before, and I must repay this kindness.”

As He Liansheng spoke, he spread his palms out, and as wisps of green smoke rose from them, a blue book quickly appeared in his hand.

The book had four large characters written on it:

Shennong's Hundred Herbs

A glint of light flashed in Daojun's eyes as he looked at He Liansheng with some surprise.

He Liansheng smiled and said:
"Please don't be offended, Daoist Lord. This treasure is also one of my most prized possessions. Just as you think, it is a classic text on cultivating spiritual plants personally passed down by Shennong."

"Originally, I intended to hand over this book to Daojun before leaving the Three Realms, but now I really owe Daojun a lot, so I'll take it out and give it to Daojun."

"As for Shennong, you don't need to worry. He loves teaching people. As long as people don't use the 'Shennong's Hundred Herbs' to do evil, he won't care who he teaches it to."

As He Liansheng spoke, he presented the book in his hand to Daojun, who nodded slightly and accepted it.

Although he had learned a great deal over the years from the old masters in Heaven, such as the God of Longevity, who were skilled in cultivating spiritual roots and plants, Shennong was already at the pinnacle of the Three Realms in this regard.

This book should also be very rewarding for him.

Just as Daojun accepted the "Shennong's Hundred Herbs" book, Jin Feng's voice came from behind him.

"Master! All the fruits, vegetables, and spiritual materials from the Golden Gourd Cave have been retrieved!"

"Alright, put them over on the stove. I'll be cooking today."

Under the bright moon and twinkling stars, a long-awaited banquet was underway on Jindu Mountain.

Although the group from Jindu Mountain has not yet gathered together, Niu Feng and the other four little bull spirits are still in the Beidou Mountains of Beiju Luzhou, while Ao Xuan and Yin Qilin are still in seclusion.

Fortunately, the Earth God, Golden Wind and Golden Cloud, DouDou, and Daojun all gathered together again, making it quite lively.

The next morning, He Liansheng took his leave.

“Brother He, if you are willing, you can travel westward from Jindu Mountain again. There is a Western Liang Women’s Kingdom there. This country is quite unique. All the people there are women, and the current ruler is a scorpion demon at the level of a demon saint.”

He Liansheng was initially intrigued to hear that the country was entirely populated by women, but his expression suddenly froze when he learned that the ruler was a demon saint at the same level as the Great Luo Realm.

He stared wide-eyed at Daojun in disbelief, utterly bewildered as to why this man would give him such a suggestion.

Although he wasn't good at fighting, he could still put up a fight against someone at the same Taiyi realm. But against a Daluo, he was practically just going to serve them food!

Does he really think everyone is like the man before him? He's cultivated his Golden Body of Merit to a height of ten thousand feet, and dealing with other Taiyi realm beings is as easy as turning his hand. Even ordinary Daluo realm beings might not be a match for him.

Daojun smiled and said:
"Brother He, don't worry. That scorpion demon is also someone I know. She has reformed herself many years ago and no longer kills indiscriminately."

"Now I am the queen of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. Actually, it was because I was entrusted by someone a few years ago to take care of someone, and it was also out of some interest."

"Although she is a bit unruly and cultivates the Dao of Lust, as long as you take my Dao Lord's Token there, she will never dare to make things difficult for you."

It should be noted that the scorpion demon's core is still in the Chaos Green Gourd at Daojun's waist. Although Daojun used it to cultivate the Way of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, he has no intention of returning it directly.

After all, Daojun helped the scorpion demon escape her death, but the agreement between the two of them back then was far from being fulfilled. Now, Daojun didn't need to use the scorpion demon for anything, so he let her go. As long as the scorpion demon didn't do anything immoral, he was too lazy to care.

Now, He Liansheng's "great tonic," personally cultivated by Shennong, needs a guardian, but he believes that the many immortals and gods under Daojun Mountain have their own important matters to attend to, so let the scorpion demon take the lead.

He Liansheng was still somewhat hesitant when he heard Daojun's words, but when he learned that the scorpion demon even had its demon core in Daojun's hands, he was relieved and said that he would seriously consider Daojun's suggestion.

After He Liansheng took his leave, Daojun slowly walked through the orange grove and came to the top of the mountain to look at the golden sun that was rising slowly in front of him.

"Meow~"

Hearing the voice behind him, Daojun chuckled without turning his head:

"You should eat less on weekdays. You've gained weight again during this seclusion. What will happen if you reveal your true form in the future and the dignified mountain god of Jindu Mountain turns into a fat tiger?"

During this period of slumber and cultivation, although this little guy hasn't changed much, both his physical form and Dharma form have fully matured. If a real fight were to break out, he could at least transform into a thousand-foot mountain lord.

The same applies to Yin Qilin. If they were to awaken, they would be completely out of their childhood. However, these two little guys would prefer to exist in their current form if they were in Jindu Mountain.

DouDou, floating in mid-air, froze as it licked its paws, and could only weakly respond.

"I got it, meow~"

Daojun turned around and looked at DouDou.

"In three more years, the Yin Qilin will awaken. When that time comes, you must remember to cultivate diligently and not turn my Golden Gourd Mountain upside down. If any little bull demons come to me, their ancestor, to complain, they will be punished."

Upon hearing that Yin Qilin would soon awaken, DouDou's eyes flashed with a bright light, and her face was filled with undisguised excitement.

As for what comes after, it simply ignores the past.

Daojun chuckled and shook his head when he saw this scene. He admitted that the people on Jindu Mountain all took care of, or even spoiled, the two little ones. Even he was the same.

But as far as Daojun was concerned, as long as the two little ones didn't have any problems with their personalities or temperaments, he could spoil them a little. After all, he himself was the same way.

He then looked at the local earth god and his own Taoist disciple who were standing in the orange grove not far away, nodded slightly, transformed into a golden light and soared into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Once Lü Dongbin's reincarnation and rebirth are settled, he will naturally have time to return to his life on Jindu Mountain.

As for now, he still has to go back to check on the stove.
