My Journey to Immortality
Ch 22 - Meeting with the Light Thunder Temple Monk.

Light Thunder Temple, a temple that had stood for over 3000 years. This temple is a temple that teaches and spreads the truth, Light Thunder Temple was led by a supreme Monk with the title of Light Thunder Master and every generation of him always had the strength of an upward Nascent Soul Peak-stage cultivator.

By the time Xi Suja was ten years old or right by the day he had entered the 1st level of Forging Qi, the temple was also celebrating the ascension of a new monk as the supreme leader of this temple.

The new leader of the temple replaces the old leader who died, the current leader is a monk with Nascent Soul Great Circle-stage power and has the title of Great Monk and comes from the Light Thunder Guardian which is a collection of monks who are the secret forces of this temple.

Great Monk inherited the title of Light Thunder Master with the addition of Monk behind the word Master, and was a 100th generation Great Thunder Monk Master as the supreme leader of this temple.

Currently the Great Thunder Monk Master who had the real name Wu Yun was in his room along with two senior monks and a junior monk direct disciple of the Great Monk, Great Monk asked his disciple to face in order to make a relationship with the leader of the Blue Batik Association in order for their temple to get the supplier of resources they had needed.

"Wu Dao, you are my most talented student of all your senior. But during your life you never left the temple, and according to the teacher this task I will give you will give you time to see the outside world for some time. 

Use the time you have out there to gain experience, if possible please find a cure for your teacher".

Wu Dao, the 20-year-old monk, listened well to all the words of his teacher. All the temple higher-ups, the Core Disciple, and the Legacy Disciple Light Thunder Temple knew of the condition of the master teacher, Great Monk suffered a serious deep wound from being interrupted while attempting to break through the sturdy barrier wall while trying to break through to the next realm.

The two high-ranking monks were also actually one of the hundreds of disciples of the Great Monk during these five hundred years, both of them were appointed by the previous Great Master as temple officials because they saw the potential of the two Great Monk disciples.

"Teacher, students will try to carry out this task well. And the disciple also promised to obtain medicine for the teacher, or at least how to treat the deep wounds that the teacher experienced" Wu Dao understood very well the state of his teacher, as well, and he promised to look for all the possibilities that could cure the teacher he respected.

Great Monk Wu Yun and the two temple higher-ups smiled, they placed great hopes on the Wu Dao they had been educating all along.

"When you leave the temple, bring enough supplies. Do not bring anything that will lead you astray to worldly matters, bring a wooden bowl to ask for alms and a stick as a guide" Senior Wu Dao, Wu Ling, said, and Wu Ming took turns giving encouraging messages to their juniors.

"Teachers and seniors, this disciple asked for prayer so that the journey of this disciple could go well. This disciple will try to apply the teachings of the Buddha while traveling out there".

Wu Yun looked at Wu Dao who was still prostrating, the chants of silk voice started to sound from his mouth followed by Wu Ling and Wu Ming.

The energy embedded in the silk flowed and entered Wu Dao's body, slowly his inner being felt a feeling of calm and comfort that made him feel safe and excited to explore the outside world.

**************

Elsewhere Suja and all of her entourage had continued on their way, this time they were in the depths of the forest in search of the Demonic Beasts to be subjected to her match training.

During the journey Suja and all her followers chatted, during the conversation Suja more silent listening to her guardian cultivators tell their stories and experiences in the world of cultivators.

Suqian and Cing Cia also told their stories, most of the stories they told were enough to make Suja feel excited. 

For a few days they walked and finally they came out of the forest in the condition of Suja who was wearing other clothes, all of that happened because for several days he had continued to fight against several Demonic Beasts that mostly had strength equivalent to a Foundation Realm cultivator and only occasionally fought those with strength equivalent to a Core Formation.

Not infrequently also they cross paths with Demonic Beasts who have strength equivalent to Nascent Soul Low-stage cultivators and above, if it is like that sometimes Suja will join the battle but most Nascent Soul Cultivators who control it will fight and finish everything.

All the Demonic Beast corpses they fought would be given to Tasya and also put into his dimensional space through a spatial ring as a disguise, he said, Long and all of his friends would eat all of the demon beast's flesh with vigor because those flesh could increase their physical strength.

When they were close to a city, Suja and the group saw a sight that made him interested.

A young man dressed as a monk was leaning against a tree trunk while chanting a silk verse softly, it seemed that the young man was holding back the hunger because in a few moments his hands would touch the belly wrapped in his clothes.

Suja approached the young man followed by his entourage, the young man who felt approached opened his eyes and turned to look at who was approaching him.

"Hail monk, is there anything we can help you with?" Wu Dao, the monk in distress, smiled with relief when he saw a young man of his age talking to him.

"Brother, introduce my name Wu Dao. May I know your brother's name?" One of the Cultivator Suja's bodyguards looked angry and was about to yell at Wu Dao but was stopped by Suqian.

"Brother Wu Dao, please introduce my name Xi Suja. You can call me Suja, can I call you Wu?" Wu Dao simply nodded slowly before trying to get up on his feet.

"Brother Wu, if you may know why you can be like this?" Suja invited Wu Dao to sit nearby when she saw the monk struggling to stand up.

KRRRYYUUK….!!!!

Not yet had Wu Dao tell her the problem, the stomach voice was heard making Suja laugh softly while Wu Dan harrumphed in embarrassment as the voice came from his stomach.

"Brother Wu, you better eat some food before we have a conversation. Coincidentally I am also quite hungry, let's eat together" Wu Dao accepted the invitation and Suja's servant immediately took out a lot of food from his spatial ring.

Suja allows Wu Dao to take it first, but Wu Dao instead asks Suja to take part first and says a monk only eats if the owner of the food has taken his share first.

Suja took out a satay from the Deer-shaped Demonic Beast meat she had taken a few days ago followed by all her entourage, which was, Wu Dao initially sought out vegetables, but because everything was processed from meat he finally took a skewer of venison which was also eaten by Suja.

"Brother, what is this meat? It was delicious, the first time I ate meat like this. Although we monks always eat vegetables, we will also eat meat if we have to. But the taste of this meat is very different from what I've ever eaten".

Wu Dao had indeed eaten meat a few days ago when his food supply ran out, but the meat from the alms he obtained tasted different to the one he was eating right now.

"Wu's air, this meat is the meat of the Deer-type Demonic Beast that I picked up a few days ago. I understand if you feel the taste is different from most other meats, it's because this meat is processed in a different way and added with spices like this".

Wu Dao nodded in understanding, but when he saw the form of the seasoning mentioned by Suja he couldn't help but glare.

The spices shown by Suja are spices such as barley leaves, garlic, onions, and some other spices that are mostly used as medicinal ingredients.

"Brother, is this the spice you use to cultivate this meat? Isn't this herb a medicinal plant?" Wu Dao was astonished when he saw all those herbs, because to his knowledge all those herbs were one of the medicinal ingredients often used by healers to treat diseases.

"Brother Wu, this spice is actually a cooking spice. Its use as a medicinal ingredient by healers is just one of the properties of all these spices, he said, indeed most people think of it as a medicinal ingredient but it is actually a kitchen spice that can be used to delish food" Wu Dao listened to all of Suja's explanations well.

Cing Cia, Suqian, and the other cultivators were also quite surprised to find out what was the cause of the good taste of the meat they had eaten during those few days. They did see how Suja processed meat, but they never thought the fine grains sprinkled turned out to be spices that are often used as medicinal ingredients by healers.

After they finished eating Suja invited Wu Dao to have a chat, while the others chose to practice because the Qi energy around them was quite a lot and they were unwilling to waste the opportunity.

"Brother Wu, can you tell me anything you've experienced?" Wu Dao smiled and recalled all of what he had experienced during the trip.

"Penderma Xu, I'm sorry if the donor is offended I called that" Suja shook her head and said she didn't mind.

"A few days ago I came out of the main temple in the territory of the Wei Empire with the intention of finding the location of the Blue Batik Association's existence, from what I heard during the trip this Association was in the Han Imperial Capital.

On the way I helped our temple followers a lot, most of the problems I experienced were also caused by Demonic Beasts even a few days ago my food supply was seized by an ape-type Demonic Beast……..".

Wu Dao recounted all his experiences during his exit from the temple, he also told how ridiculous he was when grabbing food with the apes who stole his supplies.

Suja listened attentively, occasionally she would laugh as she listened to the funny parts of the monk's story.
