Journey to the West: From Stealing the Teachings of Patriarch Bodhi to Becoming a Saint Through a Hu

Yuan Li was wearing an iron armor and animal skin clothing.

But within Black Wind Mountain, which of his subordinates looked exactly like the Great King Black Bear Spirit? Yuan Li also felt something was amiss.

He reached out and touched his face a few times.

He then disguised himself as Yanzu.

Yuan Li is very satisfied with his current appearance.

The black bear spirit then picked up his wine glass and took a sip.

That's why he stopped staring at Yuan Li all the time.

The leaders of the dozens of demon caves in the Black Wind Mountain, which spans over two hundred miles, are all very familiar with each other.

From this day forward, a new leader has risen.

Originally, the leader of the twenty-eighth cave entrance was a toad demon.

But now the position of leader of the toad demons has been given to Yuan Li.

While in the Black Wind Cave, the toad spirit and Yuan Li drank and chatted together.

"Patrolman, now you are the leader of our Cave 28, haha! Let me fill your glass, Black Bear Leader, I will serve you well."

The toad spirit picked up the wine pot on the stone table and poured wine into Yuan Li's cup with a smile on his face.

I can't help but admire how well Yuan Li disguised himself.

He had eaten many people, but he had never seen a man so handsome and refined.

No wonder Yanzu is Yuan Li's idol.

Yuan Li picked up his wine cup and drank heartily, thoroughly enjoying himself.

This toad spirit, with less than a hundred years of cultivation, was completely subservient to him.

He harbored no resentment whatsoever that Yuan Li had taken his leadership position.

A grand banquet was held inside the Black Wind Cave to congratulate Yuan Li on taking office as the new leader.

Yuan Li's ability to refine elixirs using the Seven-Star Alchemy Furnace immediately made him famous in Black Wind Cave.

The remaining thirty-odd leaders came to see Yuan Li, some even offering gifts.

Yuan Li accepted them all without hesitation.

The gifts he received alone amounted to more than all his possessions in the Great Cave.

Starting cultivation at Black Wind Mountain will definitely provide several times the cultivation potential compared to cultivating at the nameless hill in Dali Cave.

After establishing a foothold in Black Wind Mountain, Yuan Li sent the Toad Demon to Mighty Mountain to bring back his dozens of wolf demon subordinates.

The toad spirit hurriedly returned with Ge Lang and several lesser demons.

Before Yuan Li left, Ge Lang was on Dali Mountain.

Upon seeing Yuan Li, he immediately knelt down in alarm and said:

"Your Majesty, our Mighty Cave has been raided! The intruder is a sorcerer, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, who took away the antelope demon from the cave."

Yuan Li led him into the demon cave and looked at Ge Lang, who was kneeling on the ground in a sorry state.

Ge Lang didn't know who the sorcerer was, but he had a vague guess in his heart that it might be the Great Immortal Yang Li from Chechi Kingdom.

Yuan Li concluded:

"It must be the Sheep Power Immortal from Chechi Kingdom who killed all the wolf demons in my cave while I was away."

The toad spirit's eyes darted around after hearing this, and it said:

"That sorcerer is the national advisor of Chechi Kingdom. I haven't heard of him for a while. Although we can't easily enter Chechi Kingdom and cause chaos, we do have ways to deal with him."

Ge Lang got up from the ground, feeling much more at ease after hearing this.

He couldn't recognize Yuan Li now, but the bearskin broadsword on his body looked very familiar.

The toad spirit sent brought them here, and they had no chance to resist along the way.

She was once afraid of being turned into a noodle dish, until she saw Yuan Li's bear-like appearance before his disguise.

Ge Lang and the other wolf and fox demons were overjoyed.

They are now monsters of Black Wind Mountain, just waiting for Yuan Li to give them orders.

Yuan Li thought to himself:

"It doesn't matter that the demoness was taken away. It just saved me two Yangli Pills. If she comes looking for me or doesn't know her place in the future, then I'll have no choice but to draw my sword against her."

Yuan Li nodded to himself, having finished the tedious matter.

He just wanted to find out more about when Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty would embark on his journey to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures at Black Wind Mountain.

By then, Black Wind Mountain will be transformed.

After the Black Bear Spirit stole Tang Xuanzang's cassock, it was subdued by Guanyin, leaving the group leaderless.

If Yuan Li had stopped the Black Bear Spirit from stealing the cassock, wouldn't this whole thing have been avoided?

Yuan Li possesses the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes; in his next life or in future reincarnations, he can personally steal the cassock.

Then, taking advantage of the situation, he was subdued by Guanyin and went to heaven to become the guardian deity of Luojia Mountain.

Thinking of all this, Yuan Li immediately sat up from the large stone seat, slapping his thigh, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

At this moment, he transformed back into Yanzu, and his hearty laughter echoed outside the cave.

There are over a hundred demons in this twenty-eighth demon cave.

Ge Lang, who was not far in front of him, had only a few decades of cultivation, but Yuan Li thought highly of him.

Looking at Ge Lang, he didn't feel unfamiliar.

Ge Lang once sought immortality but failed.

It's not the right time for Yuan Li to pass on some Taoist techniques to him yet; at least we'll have to wait until Yuan Li has some free time.

His laughter stopped abruptly, and he said dismissively:

"Ge Lang, just stay here and rest easy. There are plenty of good fruits and meats on the mountain. Follow the instructions of the other monsters. As for other things, we don't need to worry about them for now."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ge Lang responded.

After Ge Lang took his wolf demon iron token, they all retreated.

There are many animals on Black Wind Mountain. Jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards can be killed at will. There are also cases of monsters eating each other. The toad demon in the cave has grayish-brown skin and likes to eat its own kind.

After a toad similar to him became a spirit, he was inevitably caught and cooked by the toad spirit. Yuan Li asked about its origin.

Then one knows that it comes from the Fairy Reef of the East China Sea, the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.

Yuan Li was very familiar with it. From the memories of his predecessor, the Black Bear Spirit, he quickly found the eastern coast called Fairy Reef.

This toad spirit claimed to be the uncle of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals responsible for opening the gates of the East Sea Dragon Palace. The blood relationship was somewhat complicated, but it was not difficult to see that what the toad spirit said was true.

Because the toad demon also took out several sea pearls from his body, treating them like treasures, and swallowing them would allow him to absorb the essence within the sea pearls.

Yuan Li watched as the toad spirit reluctantly handed him two crystal-clear sea pearls, then smiled and said:

"Haha, these two are spirit pearls I obtained from the East Sea. Black Bear Demon Leader, please accept them. If you like them, I will bring you more when I go to the East Sea again. I hope you will give me more opportunities."

Yuan Li took the two snow-white, shiny spiritual pearls from the East Sea Dragon Palace. They were full of spiritual energy and were highly nourishing.

Yuan Li was quite satisfied, unlike when he was hosting a grand banquet, when the other leaders would send him weapons and sticks, or even dog skin plasters.

Yuan Li looked down on them all, but the toad spirit did not disappoint him. Yuan Li put the two spirit pearls into his pocket, and while thinking, he asked the toad spirit a question.

"Toad Demon, do you know why King Black Wind was invited by the Six Immortals Temple to become an alchemist? The king only said that he refused the Six Immortals Temple's kindness, but the Six Immortals Temple said that they would ask the immortal master to subdue our king."

The toad spirit's tongue emerged and licked its lips, a thoughtful expression on its face. It didn't quite understand the matter either, and for the time being, its mind couldn't quite grasp it. It could only frankly admit:

"It is because the Six Immortals have taken a liking to the King's alchemy skills. The people in that Taoist temple on that slope probably want to harm the King, who is unfamiliar with the place and people there."
