I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 93: The two tigers go down the mountain, Zhuang Yan comes out of retreat

Since handing Luo Mo over to Lan'er to raise, Zhuang Yan hasn't had much to do.

Now all the duties of Lingtai Divine Mansion have been taken over by Fire Spirit Immortal. It must be said that Fire Spirit Immortal is really the right material. She can arrange all the matters of Lingtai Divine Mansion very properly, no matter whether they involve immortals or mortals.

Therefore, Zhuang Yan felt very relieved to hand over the affairs to the True Immortal Fire Spirit.

In addition, Zhuang Yan assigned the task of visiting Sun Wukong to the three immortals, Huo Ling Zhenxian, and asked them to take turns to visit Sun Wukong in Wuzhi Mountain once every year.

Now that he has nothing to do, Zhuang Yan can count the golden elixirs on his body.

Inside the Jingshe, Zhuang Yan laid out all 49 gourds, and then classified them one by one according to the labels on them. The total number of gourds was:

10 gourds of Taiyi Purple Gold Pill, 5 gourds of Xuanli Vajra Pill, 6 gourds of Biou Purple Gold Pill, 7 gourds of Jiangzhen Dahuan Pill, 5 gourds of Xuanling Qibao Pill, 5 gourds of Yinyang Dahuan Pill, 5 gourds of Jiuzhuan Huanhun Pill, and 6 gourds of Jiuzhuan Jindan.

And each gourd contained 36 golden elixirs, so Zhuang Yan had a total of 1764 golden elixirs of the above types.

Then, Zhuang Yan used his Cave Heaven True Eye to check the uses of each of these golden elixirs one by one.

{Taiyi Zijin Pill}: This pill can avoid all disasters within a thousand years and extend one's life by a thousand years.

{Xuanli Vajra Pill}: This pill can temper the physical body for 49 days and can obtain an indestructible Vajra body.

{Green Lotus Purple Gold Pill}: This pill can greatly increase one’s cultivation, enlighten one’s spirituality, and protect one’s life.

{Jiangzhen Dahuan Dan}: This elixir can increase one’s lifespan by three thousand years.

{Yin Yang Great Pill}: This pill can heal wounds and save lives, and cure all injuries, diseases and ailments.

{Xuanling Seven Treasures Pill}: This pill can instantly restore all magic power and physical strength.

{Nine-turn Resurrection Pill}: This pill can bring all the dead back to life and increase their lifespan by thirty years.

{Nine-transformation Golden Pill}: After taking this pill, one can attain the status of an earthly immortal within three days.

"They are all good stuff." Zhuang Yan's eyes were bright. Among this pile of golden pills, the 'Nine-transformation Golden Pill' was the worst.

After thinking for a while, Zhuang Yan suddenly touched his chin and said, "Since Taishang Laojun can openly display these elixirs, does that mean he has even better elixirs?"

Zhuang Yan felt that it was very likely that anything that could be displayed openly for people to see might be the best, but definitely not the most powerful.

"Laojun is full of treasures. He is worthy of being the ancestor of Taoism." Zhuang Yan thought to himself, and then put all the gourds into the infinite space.

After putting away the golden elixir, Zhuang Yan said again: "It's time to practice."

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan put aside all distracting thoughts, took one pill each of the Taiyi Purple Gold Pill, Xuanli Vajra Pill and Bigou Purple Gold Pill, and then began to practice the Huiyuan Jingxin Method.

This kind of cultivation does not count years and months. Time flies and years are vast. A hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

However, after being raised by Hu Xianfeng and his wife, Narada grew more and more extraordinary. In ten years, he attained the fruit of Earthly Immortal, in fifty years he attained the fruit of Mysterious Immortal, and in fifty years he attained the fruit of Heavenly Immortal.

By the 117th year, when Zhuang Yan was about to come out of seclusion, Luo Mo had already achieved the Golden Immortal.

At the same time, this Luo Mo also had a good appearance, with red lips, white teeth, fair skin and bones, a graceful and elegant gentleman, and a romantic and suave manner, which was in sharp contrast to his two tiger-element brothers.

Luo Mo is the resident Dharma body of 'Mara' in the present world, and it is integrated with the 'Dharmakaya'. There is no need for him to practice Taoism, as everything will come naturally when the time comes.

Moreover, all his magical powers were still there, except for the memory of "Mara", which was forcibly taken away by Zhuang Yan and completely destroyed.

On this day, Luo Mo was sparring with Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ in martial arts. Not long after, Luo Mo was defeated and pinned to the ground by his two brothers, Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ, who were only at the "Lianxu Hedao" realm.

Lan Er, who was standing by, saw this and couldn't help but laugh: "Come on, go away, the two of you, stop bullying your brother."

Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ laughed, and stood up and pulled Luo Mo up from the ground.

Then Hu Lai said, "Mom, how could we bully him? We can only regain some face with our physical martial arts."

Hu Ququ said: "Yes, we don't have magical powers. As for magic power, we haven't become immortals yet, so we are definitely not as good as him, a golden immortal. We are no match for me in magic."

Luo Mo smiled clearly, and instantly became fresh, handsome, and elegant.

He did not use any magical powers, spells or magic just now. If he had used any one of them, Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ would not have been able to last a single round in his hands.

But if he did not use any of these and only used physical skills, he would be no match for his two brothers and would be pinned to the ground in less than a moment.

"My two brothers are great martial artists, and I admire them." Luo Mo bowed and said with a smile.

Hu Lailai climbed onto Luo Mo's shoulder and said, "Please don't be so polite, like those old scholars in the world. Look at me and your second brother, we roar like tigers in the mountains all day long, looking at all directions. Look at my muscles, look at the word 'king' on my forehead, look at my sharp fangs, look at my abdominal muscles, and then listen to my tiger roar."

After saying that, Hu Lailai opened his mouth and let out a tiger roar towards the forest below. In an instant, hundreds of birds left the forest and thousands of beasts fled in panic.

Hu Lailai laughed loudly, patted Luo Mo on the shoulder and said, "How is it? Is it impressive?"

"So majestic." Luo Mo said with envy, "It's a pity that I was born like this, and I can't learn from my two brothers." "Hey!" Hu Ququ also came over at this time and said to Luo Mo, "My little brother, although you don't have a tiger body, you can cultivate a tiger's power. Listen to me, don't be so polite in the future, change your temper, and your temperament will change."

"Okay." Luo Mo nodded.

Lan'er, who was standing far away, watched her three sons talking and laughing together without coming over to disturb them. A happy smile appeared on her face, but soon a hint of worry appeared in this smile.

At night, the sky was full of stars and the moon was bright. The three brothers Hu Lailai, Hu Ququ and Luo Mo sat in the peach forest, drinking wine, eating meat, chatting, and having a great time.

When they were full of food and drink, Hu Lailai suddenly said to Luo Mo: "Little brother, your second brother and I have something to tell you."

"Oh?" Luo Mo was a little tipsy and asked, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Hu Lailai said: "Your second brother and I have decided to go down the mountain tomorrow and travel around to find our own opportunities."

Hearing this, Luo Mo immediately sat up straight and asked Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ: "Big brother, second brother, are you going to leave Lingtai Mountain?"

"Yes." Hu Ququ nodded and said, "I told my father and mother about this yesterday, and they agreed."

Hu Lailai said: "So, we will go down the mountain at daybreak."

Hu Ququ laughed and said, "I don't know when I can come back this time. Maybe a few years, maybe more than ten years, maybe hundreds of years."

Luo Mo was a little stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Two brothers, is it because you have not been able to achieve earth immortality? There is no rush. Lianxu Hedao has a lifespan of 3000 years, and you are only over a hundred years old now."

Hu Lai said, "We are not in a hurry to become immortals. After all, a high level of Taoism only means a longer life and higher magical powers. To truly fight with others, you still need magical powers, spells, and magic weapons. These are the opportunities we are looking for."

Hu Ququ said, "Besides, we also want to venture out and see the world, walk through the forests and springs to seek Taoist immortals, and go to temples to comprehend the profoundness of Buddhism. It's better than being a monster in the mountains all the time."

Hearing this, Luo Mo was stunned for a moment, then said: "I didn't expect that the two brothers would have such ambitions. Good."

As he spoke, Luo Mo raised his wine bowl and said, "Then I wish you two brothers good luck, a smooth journey, and hope you will get a great opportunity soon."

“Hahaha.” Hu Lailai laughed, “Yes, yes, that’s right. Now you are quite impressive.”

After saying this, the three brothers raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.

It was not until midday that the three brothers went back to sleep. Early the next morning, the two brothers Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ packed their luggage and prepared to set off.

The Hu Xianfeng couple, Luo Mo, Huo Ling Zhenxian, Chi Ling and others sent the two brothers Hu Lailai to the mountain pass. Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ turned around and kowtowed to their parents to say goodbye. Lan'er couldn't help shedding tears.

Tiger Vanguard warned: "When you travel outside, remember to change your appearance and don't show your true face in front of mortals. Don't do evil. If you dare to do evil, I will personally beat you two to death."

Lan Er punched Tiger Pioneer in the face and angrily said, "Can't you say something auspicious?"

The dignity of Tiger Pioneer's father was shattered by this punch, and he quickly said, "Dad, I wish you a safe journey and hope you can get the immortal fruit soon."

Hu Lai Lai and Hu Qu Qu smiled and bowed, "Thank you, father. Thank you, mother. We are leaving now."

Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ bowed again. At this time, the Immortal Fire Spirit came forward, looked at the two tigers and said, "You two have grown up under my watch. I don't have anything good to say to you before you leave, so I'll just say a few words to you."

Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ immediately looked solemn and said, "Please give us some advice, Aunt Huo Ling."

The Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "When you go out, don't offend the Taoists or the monks. If you must offend one, it's better to offend the monks than the Taoists. Remember that?"

Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ were puzzled and asked, "Why?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal did not explain too much, but just said: "Just remember my words. Also, if you encounter any danger after you go out, just report the name of my Lingtai Divine Mansion directly, don't hesitate."

The two brothers looked at each other, then bowed and said, "Yes, we remember it."

The Fire Spirit Immortal nodded, and finally said with a smile: "Then I also wish you a safe journey and hope you will achieve your goal soon."

Afterwards, the two brothers Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ said goodbye to everyone and turned down the mountain.

On the third day after Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ went down the mountain, auspicious light suddenly gathered in the sky above the Lingtai Divine Palace, and the rosy clouds turned into clouds.

The next moment, a tremendous immortal power spread out from above the Yunfang Jingshe where Zhuang Yan lived, and instantly enveloped the entire Lingtai Mountain.

The Fire Spirit Immortal hurriedly walked out of the Mountain God Temple. When she saw the immortal power rising, her face was immediately filled with joy, "The Divine Lord has achieved success in his cultivation and is about to come out of seclusion."

Afterwards, the boundless auspiciousness turned into jade clouds in the sky and flew into Zhuang Yan’s abode.

The next moment, the temple opened, and Zhuang Yan, dressed in immortal robes, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, walked out with a tall and majestic figure.

At this moment, he has achieved the Dao Fruit of Xuanxian.

Zhuang Yan looked up at the clear sky, and then opened his 'Dongtian True Eyes'. He saw a faint demonic light occasionally appearing in the clear sky. Zhuang Yan immediately said, "A hundred years have passed, and the great calamity of Buddha and Demon has begun."
