Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 114 White Flower Snake Spirit
Early the next morning.

Xiao Chen first went to the warehouse of Silizhai to select a few top-quality magic weapons, intending to give them to the Black Bear Demon as a gift.

As I recall, this black bear demon really liked collecting magic weapons.

At the beginning, at the Guanyin Temple, the Black Bear Demon saw the magic treasure, the Brocade Robe, and then he became greedy and stole the Brocade Robe, and was then beaten by Sun Wukong.

Xiao Chen has been the Monster King for these years and knows very well that to recruit subordinates, he needs to use both soft and hard tactics. He needs to convince them with force while also giving them some sweet benefits.

After choosing the magic weapon, Xiao Chen flew towards the direction of Southern Continent with golden light.

The cave of this black bear demon should be in the Black Wind Mountain of the Western Fan Hami Kingdom in the border of Southern Continent.

One day later.

Xiao Chen arrived at the border of Xifan Hami.

However, after walking around, he did not find the mountain called Black Wind Mountain, nor the Black Wind Cave.

"Could it be that the Black Bear Monster is no longer called the Black Wind Monster?"

Xiao Chen wondered secretly.

The names of mountains and caves are generally taken from the titles of the kings who occupy the mountains.

For example, his cave was formerly called "Black Evil Cave". After the Black Evil King died, he was called the Golden Horn King, so it was inappropriate to call it the Black Evil Cave anymore, so it had to be renamed "Golden Horn Cave".

"Guanyin Temple, yes, Guanyin Temple."

"The black bear demon's cave is near the Guanyin Temple."

Xiao Chen had a flash of inspiration and went to look for the Guanyin Temple in the Hami Kingdom of Western Tibet.

It is not easy for this Guanyin Bodhisattva's Zen temple to be occupied by others and change its flag and banner.

Not long after, Xiao Chen asked around and finally found the Guanyin Temple in the Hami Kingdom of Western Tibet.

Using the Guanyin Temple as a coordinate, Xiao Chen emitted golden light and flew more than twenty miles to the southeast, and actually discovered a fairy mountain.

I saw that the mountain was very beautiful, exactly:

"Ten thousand valleys compete for streams, and thousands of cliffs compete for beauty. The cliffs are steep, and the flowers fall and the trees are fragrant."

"After the rain, the sky is moistened by the green walls; when the wind blows, the pines roll up and spread out their green screens. The towering trees are piled up in a dark green; the majestic mountains are surrounded by green and play with the mist."

Xiao Chen pressed down the cloud and searched around. He actually found a cave on the cliff. There was a stone slab on the cave door with six large characters written on it:

"Baiyun Cave in Baiyun Mountain."

Seeing this, Xiao Chen seemed to be thinking about something, but since he was here, he didn't say much and just went forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, a black snake demon who was guarding the door opened the door and asked, "Who are you and why are you here?"

"I am the Golden Horned King of Xi Niu Hezhou, and I am here to pay a visit to your king. Please allow me to report."

Xiao Chen said casually.

Seeing Xiao Chen's gorgeous appearance covered in jewels and precious stones, the black snake demon did not dare to neglect him and hurriedly ran in to report.

Ten or so breaths later, a man dressed in white who looked like a scholar came over, looked at Xiao Chen, and said politely:
"I am the king of Baiyun Mountain. I wonder what you, King Jinjiao, want from me?"

When Xiao Chen saw the scholar in white, who was clean-looking and had only the cultivation level of a wandering immortal, he was somewhat disappointed.

The Black Bear Demon is the same as the Black Evil King in that he is a transformed black bear and usually looks like a dark-skinned big man.

Xiao Chen knew that this person was definitely not the black bear demon. Judging from his appearance and dress, he looked a bit like the white snake demon.

This white snake demon was sworn brothers with the black bear demon and the wolf demon, but his abilities were average and he was beaten to death by Sun Wukong with a single blow. He was a complete loser and was of no use.

However, Xiao Chen still asked expectantly:
"King Baiyun, do you have a black bear spirit friend?"

"Black bear friend?"

The scholar in white shook his head in doubt and said:

"In my Baiyun Mountain, there are one or two black bear demons who have just transformed. They are just my subordinates, not my friends."

"One or two newly transformed black bear demons?"

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that at this point in time, the black bear demon has not yet developed?
Or maybe the black bear demon hasn't arrived yet?
Right now, what he needs is an expert who can keep the situation under control. There is no point in recruiting one or two transformed little bear monsters back.

"excuse me."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and was about to leave, but he was unwilling to do so. After thinking about it, he said:

"If a powerful black bear demon comes to your mountain in the future and you can't resist it, you can go to Silizhai in Yuntai Mountain of Chechi Kingdom and tell me, and I will come to help you."

After saying that, Xiao Chen pointed at the golden hoop and swung it out. With a "bang", a mountain hundreds of feet high next to him was flattened with just one finger.

This brutal scene made the scholar in white shudder. He smiled and said repeatedly:
"King Jinjiao, if the black bear demon comes, I will come to report it, I will come to report it!"

Xiao Chen sighed softly.

Although he knew the plot of the characters in the original novel, the time was advanced by nearly a thousand years. It was hard to say where these characters were now and what their cultivation was. Xiao Chen shook his head, raised the golden light, and returned to Chechi Kingdom.

Only the scholar in white was left, looking at Xiao Chen's departing figure with a look of fear in his eyes. He felt confused and at a loss, and stood there in a daze for a long time.

One day later.

Chechi Kingdom, Yuntai Mountain.

Pijia is, after all, a pangolin that has become a spirit over thousands of years, and is worthy of the name "Chuanshan".

The armor immediately revealed its true form, which was a golden-scaled pangolin over ten feet in size, with a skull as smooth as a pebble, sturdy limbs, and the claws on the toes were even thicker and sharper.

I saw the armored creature digging violently with its huge claws, splashing dirt, then grabbing a rock with its huge claws and throwing it aside at a very fast speed.

"What excavator? Compared to the pangolin monster, it's nothing."

Xiao Chen was amazed.

Although the monsters under his command are not strong, the mosquito monster can detect, the pangolin monster can dig holes, and the mandrill monster can transform into something charming.

The green snake demon can poison, the fire fox demon can keep the foot washing water warm, the peach blossom demon can emit fragrance... Each of them has its own skills, and if used properly, they can also be a considerable force.

In just ten days, a huge cave with a radius of a thousand feet was dug out by the armored soldiers at Yuntai Mountain.

With some more tree monsters, some branches were grown to serve as pillars to support the structure, and a preliminary equipment refining production site was completed.

The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast was placed by Xiao Chen at the entrance of the cave in Yuntai Mountain to guard the gate.

After another month, all the equipment refining production department of Silizhai was moved inside the cave.

The Great Immortal Huli taught those Taoist children one by one, and each of them performed their duties.

The equipment refining department of Silizhai has fully realized assembly line production.

Another month passed.

All of Silizhai’s backlog of pre-sale orders have been delivered.

At this moment, in the warehouse of Silizhai, Xiao Chen had just absorbed a batch of newly refined magic weapons.

"Now, with the equipment refining line, Silizhai can refine 1,500 pieces of various magical weapons in about a month, and the number is still increasing."

"Calculated this way, the number is nearly 20,000 per year."

"If I absorb all these magic weapons, I can increase my Taoism by tens of thousands of years in one year."

"It can also synthesize two acquired spiritual treasures."

"After accumulating for a few more decades, I can even combine the innate spiritual treasures."

"Its momentum has already taken shape."

Xiao Chen nodded and calculated.

In Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor went through a total of 1,750 tribulations, each of which lasted 129,600 years.

Calculated in this way, the Jade Emperor has lived for more than 200 million years. If the efficiency of cultivation is not taken into account, the Jade Emperor has at least 200 million years of cultivation.

The Jade Emperor must be practicing the most advanced skills in the Three Realms.

If we take into account the effect of the exercises on the efficiency of cultivation, the Jade Emperor's cultivation is far more than 200 million years.

Buddha Tathagata is definitely not weak either.

Even if he, the King of the Golden Horn, has no background, he is just a small toad.

Most of the top gods and Buddhas are innate gods, and their cultivation is calculated in "billions of years".

But as long as he is given time to develop, he, the Golden Horn King, will surpass them sooner or later.

The problem of refining capacity has been solved, and the next step is naturally to expand the scale.

After he had absorbed the 1,500 magic weapons this month, he had to sell them to recover the funds and keep the money rolling in.

Now his shop can only sell one thousand magic weapons a month, and there are still five hundred weapons sitting in the warehouse, unsalable.

“Seize the market and expand the scale.”

In the warehouse of Yuntai Mountain, Xiao Chen looked at the pile of weapons piled up in the warehouse and pondered.

There is only so much market available, and at this point in time, a commercial war with Foyuan Pavilion is unavoidable.

It’s just right, let’s solve the new and old grudges together!
“Competition is like war, and business is like a battlefield.”

"When it comes to fighting a war, we still have to look at the Thirty-Six Stratagems."

Xiao Chen was thinking about the Thirty-Six Strategies in his mind, trying to see which strategy he could use.
