Journey to the West Creation Technique

It is quite difficult to cultivate the appearance of Sha Wujing.

When you need to work in the fields, when you need to carry heavy loads on long journeys, you must speak little and remain calm even if the sky falls.

When faced with misunderstandings, Lu Chengjun's explanations seemed rather weak, and when he heard about the Crimson-Crowned Fire Feather Dragon, he remained completely unfazed.

All explanations are futile...

He's just amazing!

This kind of reaction is not strong.

Lu Chengjun remained silent for a long time before saying, "I have a condition."

"Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!" Zhou Mo said earnestly.

"Could you forge a powerful magical artifact for me too...?"

……

The territory under the jurisdiction of Nanming Guard.

Outside of human settlements.

A dangerous, wild land.

There is a warm nest of aardvarks underground.

The aardvark father, with his round belly, lay sprawled in his underground nest, snoring softly.

Nestled beside her was her aardvark mother and several aardvark cubs.

The family had just finished gnawing on the thick roots of the shrubs buried deep underground.

Eat your fill, then sleep; wake up, then eat again.

This is the daily life of an aardvark.

It is indeed dangerous on the ground, but that's none of their business.

Just as this family was sleeping soundly, a wicked hand gently touched the aardvark father's plump buttocks.

It was sleeping so soundly that it assumed the little guy in the house was rubbing against it, so it impatiently rolled over, turned its bottom to the other side, and continued to snore.

A moment later, a tugging sensation came from the tip of its tail.

Was it sucked?!

The aardvark mother wants to... umm?

This feeling...

Why are you using more and more force?

My tail hurts!?

It hurts!

The pain forced the aardvark father to open his eyes.

It turned its head, opened its eyes, and glanced around casually.

He froze on the spot!

It saw a figure that should absolutely not be there.

A person, and a cat.

The cat's eyes were wide open, like two shining lanterns.

The man had ill intentions; he was still holding its tail in his hand.

How could a person and a cat end up in their own den?!

For aardvarks, their underground burrows are the safest and most relaxing places.

This is fucking crazy!

A ghost has entered the house!

"Awooo!" The aardvark father let out a mournful howl, a terror that came from the depths of his soul.

The scream instantly woke the whole family.

The aardvark mother and her babies were also terrified when they saw people and cats, and they flailed their arms and legs wildly.

The whole family was completely terrified, screaming and howling... as if Lu Chengjun and Amiya were a pair of man-eating demons.

The tabby cat's eyes emitted a terrifying light, and the aura of an ancient crocodile instantly enveloped the lair.

The aardvark family seemed to choke, and their screams abruptly stopped.

……

Not long after...

The aardvark family emerged from the ground in a neat row.

At this moment, the whole family relaxed, and each aardvark hugged a white radish and ate it heartily.

The radishes were planted by Lu Chengjun himself, and now it's harvest time, piling up all over this little hillside.

Aardvarks naturally love to eat roots and stems, so they simply couldn't resist the delicious food from Middle-earth.

"I'm going to the beach, and I might go there often in the future... It's a bit dangerous there, and I'd like to find a tunnel to hide in when I get close to the sea..." Lu Chengjun looked at the tabby cat and said, "Amiya, translate..."

"Meow..." The tabby cat responded with a soft meow, then its round eyes shone like copper bells, and a mysterious, invisible power quietly spread out, looking directly at the aardvark father, conveying this meaning to him exactly as it was meant.

After some haggling...

Lu Chengjun traded several hundred radishes for a fat man.

Big Brother Aardvark.

Although much smaller than his father, he was in his adolescence, ate a lot, was very active, and was an expert at digging holes.

Whether I can survive long after taking over the salt transport mission at Haiyangang depends entirely on this brother.

Instead of taking the ground route back to Fence Village, they went directly through the aardvark's cave.

Arrive at the bottom of the cave, at the marked location.

Lu Chengjun used the Reverse Quicksand Technique to bring the aardvark beast to the ground.

Aardvarks are very timid and extremely frightened when they see humans.

Fortunately, Lu Chengjun kept stroking it to help it relax.

The lazy Amiya lay beside it, and it didn't dare to move.

The villagers of Liba Village gathered around.

Onlookers.

At first, they were quite far apart, since they had never seen such a monster before.

However, seeing its adorable appearance and innocent eyes, the villagers became even bolder, each eager to try it out.

Yunniang tried handing it a radish.

It hugged it and started chewing on it!

Who would be afraid of a fat guy who only knows how to eat?

Since you've eaten, you can't protect your health.

Yunniang immediately reached out and touched her belly; it felt soft.

Seeing that someone had made a move, the others followed suit without hesitation.

"Let me touch it."

"Let me touch it too."

"I want to touch it too!"

……

They rubbed his belly and touched his ears.

The aardvark brother buried his head in eating a radish. When he was petted and felt comfortable, he would squint his eyes and make soft humming sounds.

"Master Lu, what's the name of this meatball?" Little Stone asked.

Lu Chengjun rolled his eyes: "Let's call it Rou Dun (Meatball)."

The children were amused and giggled...

The next day.

Amiya followed Lu Chengjun to the city gate.

Lu Chengjun was carrying a large basket on his back, which was covered with a gray cloth, and under the gray cloth was a fleshy dummy sleeping.

After explaining their purpose at the government office, a young cultivator named Shi Qing led him on foot away from the Nanming Guard, heading towards the sea.

Two figures moved through the dense forest. Although the surrounding environment was quiet and secluded, Shi Qing appeared extremely relaxed.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Lu. I've traveled this salt road countless times, and the monsters along the way have long been cleared away," Shi Qing said as they walked.

Lu Chengjun carried a large basket on his back and had a tabby cat with him. He looked around cautiously, his expression showing no sign of relaxation.

When Shi Qing took the initiative to talk to him, he nodded like a silent gourd.

Shi Qing, feeling rebuffed, stopped talking, and the two continued their journey in silence.

I don't know how much time passed...

Unable to hold back any longer, Shi Qing continued to ask, "Fellow Daoist Lu, what's in that basket of yours? It looks quite heavy."

"Radish," Lu Chengjun replied with two words.

"So far...you're carrying radishes?" Shi Qing looked completely bewildered.

Lu Chengjun did not answer and continued on his way with his head down.

Shi Qing hurriedly chased after him. Although he only carried a sword, his speed was far inferior to Lu Chengjun's.

Despite carrying heavy loads, Lu Chengjun walked faster and faster, and Shi Qing even had to use a magic lightness spell to keep up.

The two traveled at a brisk pace for a whole day before finally finding an extremely secluded mountain hollow at dusk.

Hidden deep in the mountain valley is an extremely secretive post station, which serves as a resting place for salt transporters. It also stores refined salt and grain, making it the most important transit station between Haiyangang and Nanmingwei.

This is the salt station.

To enter the salt station, you need to pass through a Bagua stone array.

The Bagua Stone Array is like a small maze. If wild beasts or even monsters come, they will only get confused and will not be able to find the entrance.

But if someone who is well-versed in the principles of the I Ching comes along, they can get in after a few turns.

This type of Bagua stone formation does not require spiritual energy to operate and has a wide range of applications.

After the two entered the salt station, two garrisoned monks immediately came to greet them.

"We've been waiting for you!"

"A giant monster appeared along the route from the salt station to Haiyangang, and now no one dares to deliver salt anymore."

"If no one goes to Haiyangang to transport salt, our salt reserves at the post station will soon be depleted."

"If the post station runs out of salt, the entire Nanming Guard will be without salt to eat!"

"Wei Li has finally sent out some experts!"

"Who is this expert?"
