Three miles from Wanling City, there lay a valley of crystal-clear streams and picturesque mountains.
Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad requires a tranquil environment for alchemy, undisturbed by the bustle of the marketplace, so he chose to establish his dojo here.
Normally, only Taoist alchemists and their young apprentices lived here long-term. When Sun Wukong arrived early in the morning, he was greeted by the Star Official of Kui Wood.
"Why are you here, Star Official?"
Sun Wukong asked.
"I'm tending the fire here."
The Star Official of Kui Wood replied.
Lord Lao Zi had agreed to help him restore his mana, so he and the jade maidens were assisting here.
Under the guidance of the Star Official of Kui Wood, Sun Wukong was led to the alchemy room.
Lord Lao Zi was studying a dan recipe.
"An Immortal Artifact that transfers images, sounds, and characters?"
