Sun Wukong arrived at Guanjiang Island, where Erlang God received him with a worried frown.
"What kind of assistance do you need, True Monarch?"
Sun Wukong asked.
"I need all the help I can get."
Immortal Master Erlang sighed.
When he came to Huaguo Mountain, he made the Meishan Six Saints and Erlang's infantry learn the management techniques of Huaguo Mountain and carry out reforms.
But perhaps it was too hastily done, they half-learned something that resembled nothing, making changes here and there, and only ended up causing more confusion.
Immortal Master Erlang had no choice but to ask for assistance from the Huaguo Mountain Sect.
"If Ao Luan could come, that would be best."
Immortal Master Erlang said.
"That's not possible."
Sun Wukong shook his head: "If she's not around, I would be in great trouble."
He waved his hand, and a group of demons stepped forward from behind him.
"These demons have been deployed by me; they can help you."
Immortal Master Erlang summoned Erlang's infantry to come over and get acquainted.
After a year of pointless struggles, Erlang's infantry didn't dare to say much, and they hurried forward to recognize the demons.
"Then we'll leave it in your hands."
Sun Wukong said to the demons.
The demons nodded: "Great King, you can rest assured."
Immortal Master Erlang had the Meishan Six Saints take the demons down to settle in.
He then continued to ask Sun Wukong: "I heard that Huaguo Mountain's Spiritual Network is extending to Longevity Mountain?"
"It's in progress."
Sun Wukong nodded.
Immortal Zhenyuan was interested in incorporating Longevity Mountain into the Spiritual Network, and the demons were already working on it.
Immortal Master Erlang quickly asked: "Can Guanjiang Island be incorporated into the Spiritual Network?"
He was on Guanjiang Island and had not been connected to the Spiritual Network yet, and he was quite envious of Longevity Mountain.
"It is possible, but..."
Sun Wukong thought carefully: "It will take a few more years, let the demons get accustomed to your troops first."
"Alright."
Immortal Master Erlang felt disappointed inside.
It seemed that the Spiritual Network would not be an immediate prospect, but Sun Wukong's attitude was good.
After all, Guanjiang Island is different from Longevity Mountain. Immortal Zhenyuan resides in Huaguo Mountain for a long time, holds high prestige, and also doesn't have many disciples, so the integration of Longevity Mountain into the Spiritual Network wouldn't cause opposition from the demons.
However, Immortal Master Erlang had over a thousand of Erlang's infantry under him, and although they had been together for a year, the demons still held strong caution against them.
The Spiritual Network had a special meaning to Huaguo Mountain, and Sun Wukong decided to wait and see for a while longer.
After bidding farewell to Immortal Master Erlang, Sun Wukong arrived at Yunxiao City, where a group of demons was waiting for him.
Over the years, Sun Wukong had been teaching Daoist Skill to demons with exceptional talents, and this was already the fourth batch of demons.
After finishing the teaching, it was already evening.
Sun Wukong told the demons to scatter, but one did not leave.
Lady Rakshasa was also one of the demons who listened to the teachings; she had been busy learning for twenty years, neglecting her cultivation, and Sun Wukong had even specifically taken care of her during his teaching.
"Do you have something on your mind?"
Sun Wukong asked.
Lady Rakshasa bowed and said: "Great King, could you please ask Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad if he could distribute the White Dew together with those given to humans."
White Dew was a fertilizer, and after years of improvement, the demons had already done quite well with it.
However, due to the cost of transportation, there were still only a few countries that came to Huaguo Mountain to purchase White Dew.
"I've already asked."
Sun Wukong shook his head: "He doesn't want to."
The composition of White Dew hadn't changed significantly, and Lord Lao Zi, proficient in elixirs, took one look and knew what was in it, naturally unwilling.
Immortals had their temperament too, and Sun Wukong couldn't force the issue.
Lady Rakshasa was somewhat disappointed, but there was still one more thing.
"Our printing workshop has been operational for several days now, Great King, but you have not yet visited."
Upon her mention, Sun Wukong remembered this matter.
Huaguo Mountain had a printing workshop more than twenty years ago, but the workshop Lady Rakshasa spoke of was not an ordinary one; it was a Daoist Skill workshop capable of mass-producing Daoist Skill-enchanted books.
"That's true; I should take a look."
Sun Wukong took along Lady Rakshasa and flew toward the printing workshop.
Halfway through the flight, Sun Wukong suddenly noticed an Auspicious Cloud floating erratically in the distance.
Upon closer observation, it turned out to be the Warrior Star.
At the moment, the Warrior Star had his hands full of books, and his Auspicious Cloud was laden with several stacks of books, wobbling towards Yunxiao City.
"Warrior Star."
Sun Wukong smiled and asked: "Why are you doing the Scholar Star's job instead of studying Daoist Skill with the Demon Kings?"
The Warrior Star chuckled: "These books are rather interesting."
Sun Wukong reached out his hand, and a book immediately flew over.
"Little Demon Transformation Guide"
Sun Wukong looked at the title, then looked up at the Warrior Star: "You're interested in demons' transformation skills?"
"Somewhat."
The Warrior Star nodded: "I haven't seen such books in the Heavenly Palace."
Of course he hadn't; you could search the Three Realms, and only Huaguo Mountain would have a "Little Demon Transformation Guide."
This book was a compilation of cultivation tips for different demon species by the demons of Huaguo Mountain, after much summation over time and several revisions.
"I hear the Monkey King also took part in writing this book."
The Warrior Star asked: "Is it really useful for demon transformation?"
"It has its uses."
Sun Wukong handed the book back to the Warrior Star and said: "But whether one can transform successfully still depends on talent and comprehension."
The Warrior Star thought that made sense.
"This book hasn't been sold out, has it?"
He continued to ask.
Sun Wukong nodded.
This book could touch a nerve in the Heavenly Palace, so of course, he couldn't sell it openly, but if it was discreetly circulated, he would turn a blind eye.
Aside from the "Transformation Guide," the Warrior Star also saw many martial arts texts.
Martial arts were the skills of mortals, of no use to Immortals, but since martial arts were under the domain of the Warrior Star, he had a keen interest in them.
At the same time, the Warrior Star found it incredible that Huaguo Mountain managed to collect so many martial arts texts.
"How did you find so many texts?"
He asked.
Sun Wukong smiled: "Of course, we bought them with money."
The saying that money can make the devil push the millstone was not wrong; after Sun Wukong instructed Mr. Gu Zhi and Old Turtle to collect the texts, they managed to buy all available books from various human nations by all means.
Martial arts texts were a very small part of the collection, though small, it appeared considerably vast in the eyes of others.
The Warrior Star felt in his heart that aside from himself, only Huaguo Mountain would value the martial arts of mortals.
Huaguo Mountain was indeed a good place.
