Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 69: Golden Toad Trading Company
"Earth vein formation?"

"Yes."

At the top of Jindou Mountain, the Earth God and Niu Yi sat opposite each other at a stone table. The Earth God took a sip of the plum blossom wine in the wine bowl, nodded contentedly, then put down the wine bowl in his hand, looked at Niu Yi across from him and said with a smile:

"I came up with this by chance. The formation has my aura. Ordinary birds and beasts in the mountains won't approach it. It also has the power of the earth veins attached to it. If any evil spirits, ghosts, or those with magical powers enter it, I will know immediately."

Niu Yi smiled, put down the orange in his hand, stood up, picked up the plum wine beside him, and filled the glass for the God of Land again.

"You have worked hard and made great contributions. Please drink this cup again."

The God of Land nodded with a smile, and was very pleased with Niu Yi's action. He picked up the wine bowl and took another sip.

Niu Yi picked up the big-leaf tangerine on the table again, peeled it quickly, revealing the orange and soft crystal-like tangerine segments inside, took a segment and put it in his mouth.

Savoring the rich orange aroma in his mouth, Niu Yi nodded with satisfaction.

Compared to the sweeter honey-scented tangerine, the fairy leaf tangerine tastes more refreshing and is more to his taste.

It was a very wise decision to exchange these spiritual root tree species from his big brother Jin. He was now looking forward to seeing what the Nine-Leaf Treasure Orange, which had already entered the flowering stage, would taste like when it bore fruit.

The God of Land chatted with Niu Yi for a while, then said goodbye and left.

He knew that Niu Yi practiced diligently every day, so he naturally would not drag Niu Yi to chat all day long like he did in the past.

After the Earth God left, Niu Yi stood up and planned to go back to continue his practice.

But at this moment, lines of cause and effect quickly emerged in his eyes, and these lines of cause and effect quickly weaved into a picture that appeared in Niu Yi's eyes.

In the boundless blue sky, a carriage pulled by two giant green toads was flying in the sky, heading towards Jindou Mountain.

An old man with a golden robe and an aged face sat in front of the carriage, leading the two green toads like a coachman, urging them on from time to time.

And on the carriage, there was a huge three-legged golden toad mark.

The picture woven by the thread of cause and effect ended here, and Niu Yi's eyes quickly regained clarity.

"That's the Golden Toad Trading Company?"

Niu Yi looked up at the sky with some surprise.

When he was doing business with Brother Jinfu, he learned from the Earth God that Brother Jin had a Golden Toad Trading Company under his name, and that the carriage pulled by two toads heading towards Jindou Mountain was engraved with the logo of a three-legged golden toad.

He was quite friendly with the three-legged golden toad. After all, they were both extremely rare species in the world, and were closely related to the treasure. He called the three-legged golden toad "Brother Jin" not just out of courtesy, but with some sincerity.

I just don't know why the Golden Toad Trading Company is coming straight to him now?
Niu Yi had no intention of avoiding it. The arrival of the Golden Toad Trading Company did not give him any bad feeling.

However, judging from the appearance, the Golden Toad Trading Company is not far from his Golden Dou Mountain.

Niu Yi sat back in the stone pavilion and began to meditate with his eyes closed, waiting for the arrival of the Golden Toad Trading Company.

Niu Yi sat there from noon to afternoon, and the business carriage pulled by two green toads in the sky finally arrived here.

"Is this Jindou Mountain? This is truly extraordinary. Is it Grandpa Jinchan's brother who lives in seclusion here?"

The old man in front of the carriage looked at the top of Jindou Mountain below, which was shrouded in a thin mist of spiritual energy. Through the mist, he could still see the spiritual roots of the fruit trees, the pavilions and the ponds.

This is a wonderful place to live in seclusion. The old man admired it in his heart, and with a flick of the reins, he took the toad carriage and flew quickly towards the foot of Jindou Mountain.

Niu Yi looked at this scene with some surprise, then smiled and his figure instantly disappeared in the stone pavilion.

"He's quite polite."

When the toad car of the Golden Toad Trading Company landed, the old man looked up and saw a young man in a green shirt looking at him with a smile.

The old man hurriedly got off the car, walked forward quickly, bowed his hands, and looked extremely respectful, but what he said made Niu Yi freeze.

"Oh! You must be Grandpa Niu! Junior Jin Cheng, nice to meet you, Grandpa Niu!"

Niu Yi looked at the white-haired old man in front of him with a stiff expression.

After living for two lifetimes, this was the first time someone called him grandpa, and it was an old demon man who was obviously much older than him.

Niu Yi took a moment to react before realizing that the person in front of him should be calling his elder brother Jin Grandpa, so he, the younger brother of elder brother Jin Fu, naturally became Grandpa Niu.

Niu Yi was a little amused and helpless for a moment, but he also knew in his heart that from Jin Fu's point of view, there was actually nothing wrong with Jin Cheng calling him that.

Niu Yi shook his head helplessly, then looked at Jin Cheng in front of him and said:
"I don't know what brings you here?"

He didn't know how to address this person for a moment. After all, from Jinfu's perspective, he was really the youngest of his generation.
"Grandpa Niu, my Grandpa Jin wrote you a letter and asked me to come to Jindou Mountain to give it to you."

Jin Cheng said this with a respectful expression. He quickly took out a long flat gold box from his sleeve, placed it in both hands, and presented it to Niu Yi.

Niu Yi knew in his heart that this golden box was the envelope containing the letter.

However, most of the letters used to hold letters are made of wood, and this one is made of gold, which is the first time he has seen it.
Niu Yi thought of Brother Jinfu's golden clothes, precious rings on his ten fingers, and his wealthy appearance with a permanent smile on his face. He was speechless for a moment and had to pick up the golden box.

When Jin Cheng saw Niu Yi accept the letter from Grandpa Jin Fu, he said respectfully:

"Grandpa Niu, my Grandpa Jin also said that if Grandpa Niu needs it, I will come to you every ten years from now on. If you need anything, you can let me know in advance. I will bring it to you next time to trade, or we can also barter."

"There's just one thing I need to inform Grandpa Niu in advance. Grandpa Jin is building Gongping Avenue, so when bartering, the value of the goods will be equal. However, the price at the Jinchan Merchant House will inevitably be higher. Please forgive me, Grandpa Niu."

Niu Yi nodded suddenly.

On the one hand, it was to deliver the letter, and on the other hand, it was also to find him to do business.

After the toad carriage left, Niu Yi had a pile of books in his hand in addition to the golden box.

This time, Jin Cheng came mainly to deliver a letter, and there were not many goods on the car. He saw these books by chance and exchanged them for a stick of thyme.

There was nothing surprising in these books. They were just some books teaching people how to be carpenters and how to make wine. However, Niu Yi liked them very much after reading them.

The one who taught carpentry was nothing special, but he was quite interested in the one who taught winemaking.

None of the bull spirits in Jindou Mountain can make wine.

Back then, he had been hoping that the monkey monsters would brew the rumored monkey wine, but Niu Yi eventually discovered that they were just a group of ordinary mountain monkey monsters that grew up eating spiritual fruits, and there was no way they could brew monkey wine.
