Chapter 446: Chapter 444 Dragon Turtle_1
“Hiss….”
Lu Xuan struggled to open his eyes, feeling a splitting headache and having no recollection of what had transpired before.
As his spiritual sense slowly seeped in, his mind gradually regained clarity.
“That Monkey Wine brewed by the Sixth Grade Elder Ape has such a strong aftertaste that even my body at the Foundation Establishment Mid-term stage can barely handle it.”
Thinking this, Lu Xuan felt an unease on his body, as if a shell enveloped him.
Upon a closer look, every part of his body including his limbs, torso, and neck, was covered with a thin, keratinous layer.
With a slight shock of spiritual power, the thin keratinous layer instantly shattered into countless specks of dust.
He released a deep black sword light from his fingertips, and a black wind howled, sweeping the dust particles out of the room.
“I feel so light.”
He felt an unprecedented agility in his body, his flesh and blood were devoid of any impurities.
“I didn’t expect the Elder Ape’s Monkey Wine to have the effect of marrow cleansing method.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim.
“I wonder if I can get my hands on it.”
This thought unintentionally emerged in his mind.
At present, the only valuable spiritual brew in his possession was the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice. Although its taste was wonderfully varied, it was time to enrich the variety of his spiritual brew collection and change the flavors a bit.
“That Monkey Wine must require special ingredients and a unique brewing method. The possibility of obtaining it from the Elder Ape is slim. Maybe I could take a roundabout path–try to get the spirit fruit used for brewing Monkey Wine from it, plant them until they mature, then see if Light Cluster can burst out the secret recipe for the spiritual wine.”
His thoughts were running wild.
“Chirp chirp!”
“Are you awake?”
A crisp low growl came from nearby.
Lu Xuan looked towards the source of the sound, and found the White Jade Monkey quietly sitting in a corner, staring at him intently.
After it saw that there was nothing abnormal about Lu Xuan’s body, the worry in the creature’s gleaming ruby eyes disappeared.
“Little White Ape, have you been watching over me?”
A touch of guilt rose in Lu Xuan’s heart, this White Jade Monkey had stayed by his side while he was drunk, and yet, he woke up with designs on its family’s Monkey Wine.
What a terrible thought…
As the thought flashed, his desire for the rare spiritual wine immediately outweighed the little guilt in his heart.
He stretched his body, causing a series of cracking noises from his bones.
Exiting his room and taking a leisurely walk on a cloud cluster with the lingering effects of alcohol, the little White Ape followed closely behind.
After a short while, Sun Yun came in sight.
As he saw Lu Xuan, he was about to avoid him, but then noticed the White Jade Monkey behind him.
The moment he saw the White Jade Sky Monkey, his pupils involuntarily enlarged.
Having stayed in the Ten Thousand Beast Cave Blessed Land for decades, Sun Yun was now more than familiar with the little spirit beast before his eyes.
What he couldn’t comprehend was how the progeny of the Sixth-Grade Sect Guardian Spirit Beast obediently trotted behind Lu Xuan?
“Junior Brother Lu, Hello.”
With these questions in his mind, he greeted as he passed by Lu Xuan. His gaze, however, was entirely fixed on the little White Jade Ape.
It was indeed the violent monkey from the Blessed Land that had suppressed all the other spirit beasts!
“Hello.”
Lu Xuan nodded at him as they passed by each other. The White Jade Monkey seemed to ignore him altogether and continued following Lu Xuan past Sun Yun.
The man and the beast arrived at the huge mountain peak where the little monkey resided.
Atop the mountain, the colossal elder ape sat on a protruding flat boulder.
A set of green porcelain tea set with spiritual light shimmered in front of him, while he was holding an ancient-looking book and was completely immersed in it.
“Elder, I am greatly indebted to the spiritual wine you bestowed on me yesterday,” Lu Xuan said.
He approached a step closer to express his gratitude when he saw the Elder Ape put down his book and took up his spiritual tea.
“The spiritual wine is but a mere trifle,” the Elder Ape replied.
“It is impressive that you were able to recover to normal from the effects of Monkey Wine in less than one day. Your spiritual sense and flesh body are quite exceptional.”
A trace of admiration flashed in the monkey’s eyes.
“I happened to obtain a body refining cultivation technique, and have been practicing it for a long time. Thus, my flesh body has improved a lot,” Lu Xuan replied vaguely.
“Elder, this is the hundred fruit spiritual juice I’ve made. It’s brewed from dozens of spirit fruits and has a myriad of flavors,” Lu Xuan continued.
“Additionally, here are some Mystical Immortal Peach Spirit Fruits. They are crisp and have a sweet smell, containing rich spiritual power. I hope the Elder likes them.”
Lu Xuan took out a pot of Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice and several Third-Rank Bewitching Fairy Peaches from his storage bag.
The elder ape had gifted him a precious bottle of monkey wine, and he was naturally following the rule of reciprocation.
“Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice? This name sounds familiar. I recall it is the signature spiritual juice made by a Golden Core Real Person in the sect. That old deer absolutely adores it and seldom goes without it. To think that you have managed to brew it as well!”
A hint of reminiscence surfaced in the voice of the Elder Ape.
The Elder ape poured the spiritual juice into a teacup and took a sip, relishing the sensation of the spiritual juice bursting with subtle flavors of multiple spirit fruits in his mouth.
“Not bad. It tastes just like what I remember. Actually, it tastes even better.” The Elder Ape nodded, expressing his approval of the Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice.
Lu Xuan’s mouth curled into a smile. The Hundred Fruit Spirit Juice was very difficult to produce. After he had successfully brewed it, he put it into the Drunk Immortal Gourd for a long time, which improved the quality of the spiritual juice further.
After finishing the feeding procedure, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel extremely curious about the Sixth Grade Sect Guardian Spirit Beast White Jade Sky Ape in front of him. He surreptitiously focused his mind on the Elder Ape.
A thought flashed across in his mind.
“White Jade Sky Monkey, Sixth Tier Spirit Beast, the Sect Guardian Spirit Beast of the Sky Sword Sect, possess an extremely strong flesh body, capable of moving mountains and shifting seas.”
“It has a savage temperament and is ferocious and warlike. Once it falls into a frenzied state, its strength escalates terrifyingly, which also triggers its spiritual intelligence into chaos, causing it to disregard friends and foes.”
“Cultivating one’s character in progress…”
“Such beauty in the world, there should not be such short tempers…”
“A sixth-grade spirit beast, probably possessing the strength of the mid-to-late stage of Core Formation. It’s terrifying… ”
“It’s also fiercely combative like the Lil Monkey, but I can’t see any trace of its savage temperament.”
Lu Xuan couldn’t associate the word “savage” with the refined, amiable Elder Ape sitting in front of him in any way.
After understanding detailed information about the Elder Ape, he sat obediently next to the Little Monkey.
“Senior Brother Ape, I just arrived at the Blessed Land of the Ten Thousand Beast Caves and do not know much about the elder Spirit Beasts living inside. Could you please give me a brief introduction?” He asked the Elder Ape respectfully and softly.
“Alright.”
“In the Ten Thousand Beast Cave, there are numerous Spirit Beasts, all nurtured by the Sky Sword Sect. The majority are of second and third grade, but there are also countless fourth-grade spirit beasts, who are considered top-notch here.”
“Furthermore, there are five spirit beasts equivalent to the strength of the Golden Core Stage at fifth and sixth grade.”
“I am one amongst them.”
“There are another two, a pair of Mysterious Sky Luan Birds, who are the parents of the little luan bird that the Little Monkey often plays with.”
“Both are fifth-grade spirit beasts. A few years ago, the Supreme Elder brought them to a Cave Heaven to help decrypt the mysterious prohibitions.”
“Apart from them, there’s a Dragon Turtle which has been alive for an unknown number of thousands of years. It too is a sixth-grade spirit beast.”
“There’s also an Elder Fox, a fifth-grade spirit beast. It keeps to itself and has a quirky and eccentric character. You might not see it even after decades.”
