There is a long poem in Journey to the West about the process of Monk Sha's cultivation from a mortal.

Answer 1

There was no long poem in Journey to the West that described the process of Monk Sha's cultivation from a mortal to becoming an immortal. However, there was a description of Monk Sha becoming an immortal in the novel. In the novel Journey to the West, Monk Sha was one of the guardians of Tang Sanzang. He protected Tang Sanzang and his party on the way to get the scriptures and became an immortal in the process.

The process of Monk Sand becoming an immortal was quite special. He first became the guardian of the immortal "Sun Wukong", and then because of his loyalty to Sun Wukong, he was expelled from the immortal world. Instead, he followed Tang Sanzang to learn the scriptures. On the way, he went through a series of cultivation and tests and finally became an immortal. After becoming an immortal, Monk Sha was conferred the title of "Fairy Yu Chan" and became one of the immortals.
