Kunlun Mountain is the “clubhouse” of the immortals, and it also serves as the world’s center for cultivating lingzhi mushrooms—growing lingzhi has become an everyday practice among the celestial beings…
The “Shiyiji” records of Mount Kunlun: “On the ninth tier, the mountain gradually grows smaller and narrower; below it lie fields of lingzhi and gardens of huì, each spanning tens of thousands of qing, where the immortals sow and tend.” As for the Yucheng—so named because it is said to be the highest level of the ninefold Mount Kunlun, also known as Xuanpu—it is the seat of the Queen Mother of the West, the abode of all the immortals. Within it are fields of lingzhi cultivated by the immortals, containing some twelve thousand varieties of this sacred fungus, reserved for their sustenance.
