Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 204 The Goat-Headed Demon King
"who is it!!!"

Suddenly, a jet-black mist shot into the sky from the valley! The shrill cries of ghosts and vengeful spirits echoed from the valley, clashing with the ringing of bells!

The Divine Physician Daojun watched the soaring ghostly mist without changing his expression. He simply shook the tiger-shaped bell in his hand even harder, and the clear, crisp bell sounds solidified, continuously enveloping the valley.

"Ring~~~~"

"Ring~~~~"

The shrieks of ghosts and vengeful spirits were quickly drowned out by the ringing of bells. Only the valley trembled more violently, and from within the dark ghostly mist, came another shriek of unbearable pain.
"Aww—"

The ghostly mist in mid-air howled and suddenly rushed wildly into the distance, trying to escape from this place.

However, just moments after it flew away, the sky suddenly began to flash with points of light, and with a clattering sound, a torrent of golden copper coins appeared rapidly, rushing towards the ghost!
The ghost had no chance to react; in just a moment, it was blasted apart by the torrent of golden copper coins.

To the surprise of the Divine Physician Daojun, the dark ghost energy that the ghost had transformed into was scattered into hundreds of strands when it was hit by the torrent of copper coins, but these dark mists still fled in all directions.

"A split soul, huh? That's interesting."

As Daojun spoke, he vigorously shook the tiger-shaped bell in his hand.

"bell------"

The Bagua symbol on the surface of the Tiger-Supporting Bell flashed with light, and a golden light spread rapidly outwards along with the sound of the bell. As the golden light swept across, the hundreds and thousands of ghostly mists in the sky stopped in place, as if they had been frozen in place.

A moment later, these ghostly figures fell down one after another and gathered in the valley.

Yuan Ze watched this scene with awe.

Although the Dao Lord rarely made a move, he knew that the Dao Lord's power was far beyond their imagination, especially since this was merely an avatar of the Immortal Master.
As the golden light from the Tiger-Supporting Bell in the hands of the Divine Physician Daojun slowly receded, it was hung back on his waist by Daojun. Meanwhile, the torrent of copper coins in the sky flew over quickly and finally transformed into ten copper coins, which fell into Daojun's hands.

Although he has not cultivated the divine path in recent years and does not have many divine methods, he has not wasted the numerous incense offerings, refining them all into the few divine treasures around him.

With all the incense offerings from the current Divine Physician Daojun dedicated to a few divine magical treasures, these treasures have long since been refined to an extraordinary level.

If the Tiger-Supporting Bell is used at full power, it can even freeze the primordial spirit of a Taiyi realm cultivator for a moment. Furthermore, the thousands of incense coins in his hand can be transformed into an immeasurable sea of ​​coins to fight against enemies.

To deal with a Ghost King at the Demon King level, simply shake the Tiger-Supporting Bell a few times and toss out ten incense coins.

"Let's go, Yuanze, let's go inside and take a look."

"Yes, Lord Dao."

Daojun and Yuanze entered the valley one after the other. Before long, they saw the ram-headed ghost king lying on the ground in the center of the valley, with wisps of ghostly black mist rising from his body.

"You...you can't kill me. That person..."

Before the ram-headed demon king could finish speaking, the Taoist priest in the purple robe waved his hand, and a young figure, tied to a pillar and with a tiger-shaped brace around his waist, appeared before them.

The young man's face was slightly pale, and he had already fainted, but fortunately he was not seriously injured.

Daojun slowly stepped forward, arriving before the ram-headed demon king, and said calmly:

"I'll give you a chance: serve as a protector for a thousand years among my many itinerant doctors, and I'll set you free. I'll even promise you some benefits in the future." "You're deluded."

"If you don't agree, you can be reduced to ashes right now. Don't think I don't know what you intend to do with this child."

The pillar was covered with runes carved by evil cultivators. These were not simple spells used to steal souls, but a secret technique for merging souls.

Compared to the soul of the ram-headed demon king before him, the soul of a mortal is almost as insignificant as dust. In the end, Major will be no different from someone who has been possessed, and will disappear from this world.

At that time, the Ghost King will be able to live under the identity of Major.

The Goat-Headed Demon King raised his head and looked at the Taoist priest in front of him. When he saw the cold glint in the priest's eyes, he trembled and dared not utter another word.

He knew in his heart that if he uttered a single word of no, he would be reduced to ashes in the next instant!
Despite feeling extremely humiliated and unwilling, the Goat-Headed Demon King trembled as he agreed in order to save his life.

Niu Yi's expression softened slightly. He stomped his green bamboo staff on the ground, and a divine seal quickly appeared beneath the Goat-Headed Ghost King, rapidly enveloping him.

A golden tiger-shaped mark slowly appeared on his forehead.

At the same time, the ram-headed demon king's body quickly separated into a wisp of ram-headed demon mist, also bearing the golden tiger-shaped mark, which drifted towards the tiger-shaped support at the young man's waist, merged into it, and then disappeared.

This tiger-shaped ritual implement, crafted from Yin iron and incense from the divine path, is also an excellent vessel for the soul.

"In the future, your soul will be divided into hundreds and thousands and integrated into the tiger's support to protect the disciples of Daojun Mountain. After a thousand years, you can stay or leave as you please, and you will also receive benefits."

Upon hearing this, the ram-headed demon king, though still unwilling, had at least saved his life, so he had no choice but to kneel down and respectfully accept the order.

"Yes, Lord Daojun."

Niu Yi chose the Goat-Headed Ghost King because he was attracted by its ability to split its soul into hundreds. Although this ability would be weakened after being used, it was still much stronger than the simple Tiger-Supporting Magic Weapon.

Daojun then looked at Yuanze and said:
“Yuanze, he has already received my divine seal and must obey orders. You can rest assured to handle this matter here, and then take him back to the mountain.”

"Yes, Lord Dao."

The Divine Physician Daojun nodded, his figure transforming into a beam of light that shot into the sky and disappeared into the valley.

After leaving the valley, Daojun did not return to Daojun Mountain, but flew towards the direction of Nanzhanbuzhou, and went straight to the border between Xiniuhezhou and Nanzhanbuzhou.

Daojun looked down at the mountains below. This place had already come under the jurisdiction of the Southern Continent, and among those mountains, a temple was under construction.

This temple is the temple of his divine physician and Taoist deity.

Although it was far less grand and imposing than the Daojun Palace on Daojun Mountain, and not even comparable to a side hall, it was his first temple in the Southern Continent.

In the future, any traveling physician who comes to Nanzhanbuzhou from Daojun Palace will come here to pay homage, and even when they return home, they will come here to pay their respects.

Being a traveling doctor is no easy task; living a life of hardship and sleeping outdoors is the norm. Building this temple can at least provide them with a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Once the temple is completed, he will immediately send a wisp of his divine sense to this place to keep an eye on it.
