Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 92 Star Chessboard
"Hehe~ The landowner of Fallen Cherry Valley asked me to bring back these two jars of cherry blossom wine. They've been stored in the Golden Dou Cave for two years. Now they can finally be opened~"

The God of Land took the wine jar and poured the pink cherry blossom wine into two white jade wine bowls with cloud patterns in front of him.

More than two years ago, the land god of Luoying Valley held a banquet, inviting the three land gods and Niu Yi to go to Luoying Valley to enjoy the scenery and drink, but Niu Yi was really unable to spare the time at that time, so he declined the invitation and asked Yao Qing'er to take the four-pillar incense back to Luoying Valley.

However, the landowner of Luoying Valley and the other two landowners did not harbor any grudges against each other because of this.

The land god of Luoying Valley also asked the land god of Jindou Mountain to bring him two jars of fifty-year-old cherry blossom wine, along with a piece of fine white jade from the land god of Yunwu Mountain and five Baoquan fruits from the land god of Baoquanjian.

The Baoquan fruit had already been eaten by Niu Yi, and the piece of fine white jade as big as a watermelon was made into six exquisite white jade wine bowls carved with cloud patterns by Niu Yi.

Niu Yi felt that whether it was his original stone wine bowl or this white jade wine bowl, there was no difference in drinking wine. The wine was still the same wine, but the white jade wine bowl looked more beautiful anyway. When guests came in the future, it would indeed be better than his stone wine bowl.

Niu Yi picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and nodded in admiration.

"Compared to my peach blossom wine, the cherry blossom wine brewed by the Land God of Falling Cherry Valley is indeed better in taste and texture~"

On the one hand, the cherry blossoms used to brew this wine in Luoying Valley are carefully selected and of higher grade, and this person's winemaking skills are indeed better than his.

The God of Land sat opposite Niu Yi, holding a wine bowl, stroking his beard and smiling:
"Haha~ Your peach blossom wine tastes refreshing and is also excellent."

After the Earth God finished speaking, he looked towards the east of Jindou Mountain with some melancholy.

"Well, logically speaking, after that person descended into the mortal world, he certainly wouldn't have lived out his life in Shangtang Village in such an ordinary way. I just don't know when he will be able to travel again."

Niu Yi responded seemingly casually.

"I think it should be soon."

After all, Tianzun said that his duty as a protector has been completed, so Liu Dongchen's life should also enter the next stage.

When the God of Land heard Niu Yi's words, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully and felt much more relaxed.

Two years ago, Niu Yi brought Liu Dongchen back to Jindou Mountain and kept him by his side for spiritual cultivation. How could he not know that Niu Yi's relationship with that person was probably closer than he imagined.

Although he was curious about this matter, he did not ask any further questions.

This is the tacit understanding they have developed between each other over the years.

At this moment, Niu Feng and Niu Ping ran over excitedly from the peach blossom forest!

Niu Ping and Niu Feng came up to Niu Yi, and Niu Ping said to him respectfully:
"Chief, I've counted them. Including the largest peach tree on the mountain, there are already eighteen peach trees. As for the honey fragrant orange and fairy leaf orange trees, including those planted a few years ago and already grown, there are a total of twenty-three honey fragrant orange trees and five fairy leaf orange trees."

"Okay, from now on, just like in previous years, the job of feeding the spirit fish and collecting the spirit fruits will still be yours~"

"Yes! Chief!"

Niu Yi couldn't help but smile as he looked at the two excited little bull spirits.

When Jin Cheng came for the first time, he asked Jin Cheng to find him some spiritual orange seeds. When he came for the second time, he traded them all over and planted them in the orange grove.

With the nourishment of the Sun and Moon Dew Technique, it has now grown to a considerable scale.

After all, with the Sun and Moon Dew Secret, it would be a pity if we didn’t plant more spiritual materials and fruits.

After drinking cherry blossom wine with Niu Yi, the God of Land said goodbye and left, while Niu Yi returned to the house and sat cross-legged, sensing the two treasures in his sea of ​​consciousness.

These two treasures are indeed extraordinary. Like the Hunyuan Furnace, they can be stored in the sea of ​​consciousness even if they have not been refined.

[Starry Chessboard (Color): This is the chessboard used by Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun for playing chess. It contains 180 white pieces and 181 black pieces. Each of the black and white pieces is formed from the Yin and Yang energies. Within this, a starry formation is formed. When deployed, it draws enemies within the starry chessboard, creating a starry world of its own. The Yin and Yang pieces form a chess formation, creating an unpredictable and powerful force.]

[Earth Spirit Pearl: A spirit pearl born from the Great Way of Earth.]

Niu Yi slowly opened his eyes, and two rays of light burst out of his body again, floating in front of him. The chessboard looked like an ordinary wooden chessboard, except for some star patterns. Next to the chessboard, two black and white chess pots, as smooth as jade, were slowly circling the board, and in the pots were the black and white pieces.

On the other side, a plain ochre bead was spinning.

Is it that the divine object conceals itself?
Niu Yi looked at the two treasures in front of him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun is worthy of being one of the four greatest emperors after the Three Pure Ones Jade Emperor. He is very generous. Unexpectedly, the first treasure he obtained was the chessboard used by Tianzun to play chess.

Even though he hadn't refined this treasure yet, he could feel that it contained a star-shaped formation. If it were to be deployed, its power would surely be terrifying.

With this treasure by his side, his cultivation speed will be greatly improved.

Considering the grade of this treasure and his current spiritual power, he should be able to refine it initially within fifty years. By then, not only will he have another powerful and colorful life-saving magic treasure, but the treasure energy generated every day will also be able to achieve a leap-forward improvement.

It's another Earth Spirit Pearl...

"This treasure is similar to the Hunyuan Furnace. It's another treasure whose rank is unknown. All we know is that it was born from the Earthly Avenue."

"The Earth Spirit Pearl and the Primordial Furnace, these two treasures must be above the colorful items."

And this treasure is just like his Hunyuan furnace, it is completely impossible to refine, or in other words...

This treasure also looked down on him at all.

Niu Yi shook his head helplessly. This treasure was the same as the Hunyuan Furnace, so he could only talk about it later.

If he could refine the Hunyuan Furnace and the Earth Spirit Pearl, who knows how fast his cultivation would be in the future. Unfortunately, it is just a thought now.

However, even if he cannot refine it, he can still store it in his sea of ​​consciousness and use his soul with the help of this Earth Spirit Pearl to comprehend the Great Way of Earth.

If a demon commander wants to advance to the level of a demon king, in addition to accumulating sufficient magical power, he must also comprehend a bit of the great Dao of heaven and earth.

He originally thought that because of the Cause and Effect Gua Coin and Cause and Effect Gua Theory, his own comprehension of cause and effect would be even greater than his comprehension of the Five Elements, and the first thing he would comprehend should be a hint of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. However, he did not expect that he would now obtain this Earth Spirit Pearl.

With this Earth Spirit Pearl, the Earthly Avenue is almost within reach for him.

Niu Yi waved his hand and took the two treasures back into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Then Niu Yi pointed his finger at the jade agarwood incense on the wooden table, and the jade agarwood incense was immediately ignited, and rays of jade-clear air rose.

Niu Yi sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

Now everything is ready, just waiting for his magic power to increase so that he can survive the thunder tribulation.

However, Niu Yi had only been in meditation for three days when he felt a familiar cold wind appear again, blowing towards Jindou Mountain.

This afternoon.

Niu Yi, who was sitting in the pavilion with his eyes closed, refining the Star Chessboard, slowly opened his eyes. Feeling the approaching cold wind, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Demons? I never thought these two would come to me today.

Sure enough, the next moment, a sound came from the sky above Jindou Mountain.

“Hahaha~Brother Niu Yi, come and visit me in front of the Bull Head Horse!”

It's a good thing these two came. We were just worried about where the Yin Iron was.

Niu Yi slowly stood up and walked out of the pavilion, smiling, bowed to the sky and said loudly:
"Greeting your presence, both of you, please come into the mountains and have a chat!"
