Chapter 659: Ape Demon Wine
“Friend Lu is certainly courteous, not only providing us with a safe haven but also gifting us with the Dust Removal Pill, a type of rare elixir,”
After Lu Xuan’s figure disappeared, a Jindan Cultivator couldn’t help but remark.
The four took a look around, sensing the power of the Fifth-Grade Formation and feeling much at ease in their hearts.
Running about all this time, constantly worrying about that Sixth Grade Beast and the Evil Cultivators hidden within the Thunder Sea, they could finally rest properly with the protection of the Fifth-Grade Formation.
“Polite he is, though perhaps a bit too cautious.”
Another Jindan Cultivator swallowed a Dust Removal Pill and felt a stream of clean air wandering within his body, immediately feeling much more relaxed.
“Being cautious is the prudent course of action, especially since among us, only Fellow Yu Lin has a bit of acquaintance with Friend Lu. It’s perfectly normal to have concerns about rashly asking to rest inside the cave abode for a while,”
the Jindan Cultivator with a deep split across his chest said in a deep voice.
“Perhaps it is precisely Lu Xuan’s caution that has allowed him to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage as a Spirit Plant Master,”
the pale-faced cultivator chimed in.
“Caution is good, of course, but if Friend Lu remains too guarded, his path of cultivation may very well come to a stop here,”
“The journey of cultivation is continuously threaded by strife, contending with the heavens, the earth, and others, competing for the faint hope of breaking through realms, for spirit lands, for fortuitous treasure items.”
“Especially for us Loose Cultivators, we can only compensate for the gap with those cultivators from well-established backgrounds by contending for one opportunity after another. Otherwise, we’ll be left far behind on the path of cultivation and even our bones may become steps for others to climb upon.”
A person couldn’t help lamenting.
“So, Fellow Ye, what have you contended for during this journey into the Thunder Sea Secret Realm?”
Hermit Yu Lin asked with a light chuckle.
“...”
The cultivator was at a loss for words.
“This exploration of the secret realm encountered some unexpected events, but that’s quite normal, as we can’t always encounter great opportunities without any hindrances,”
“If we don’t contend, where would those fortuitous treasure items come from?”
“It’s not like someone sitting in a cave abode can expect great opportunities to just fall into their lap, right?”
He paused for a moment, unable to help but retort.
The conditions for a sixth-grade Spiritual Plant to mature were particularly complex. Using third-grade Nascent Soul Grass Orbs to hasten the maturation would yield limited effects even with a massive consumption of valuable orbs. Lu Xuan was not in a hurry, patiently waiting for the Phoenix Wood to fully ripen.
He took out the Origin Yang True Fire Bead, and with his Spiritual Sense guiding a thin strand of Origin Yang True Fire, he sent it into the charred wood.
The pair of Phoenix phantasms shrank to the size of fingers and continued to emit joyful chirps before vanishing into the True Fire in an instant.
Lu Xuan continued to inspect the Spirit Field.
“The Heart Ape Fruit has ripened!”
He looked at the semi-transparent progress bar below the Spirit Plant exclaiming happily.
At the top of the Spirit Plant, a golden-yellow Spirit Fruit was formed, shaped like a curled-up monkey. As his gaze focused on it, a whirlwind of thoughts cluttered his mind.
“I wonder how the Elder Ape and that Little White Ape are doing now.”
Back when the Sky Sword Sect moved to the Dongxuan Sword Sect, the Elder Ape, being a fifth-grade Guardian Beast, naturally qualified to go along, and the Little White Ape, with innate talent not inferior to any authentic teachings, was likely taken along as well.
Looking at the Spirit Fruit in front of him, he couldn’t help but feel a bit nostalgic.
He carefully picked the Spirit Fruit, focusing his mind on it.
[Heart Ape Fruit, fifth-grade Spirit Fruit, a unique plant of the White Jade Sky Monkey clan. The Spirit Fruit can be directly consumed to cleanse the marrow and veins, temper the mind and flesh body, and can also be used to concoct certain special high-rank elixirs or brew the unique Monkey Wine of the White Jade Sky Monkey clan.]
“A fifth-grade Spirit Fruit that enhances the flesh body will be put aside for now; let’s see if the treasure from the Light Cluster is related to it.”
After briefly understanding the information about the Spirit Fruit, Lu Xuan placed it in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch, then his attention entirely shifted to the quietly emerging White Light Group.
With anticipation, he gently touched the surface of the Light Cluster.
The Light Cluster silently shattered, and tiny light particles scattered like exploding fireworks, then quickly congealed together to form a monkey phantom, which in an instant entered Lu Xuan’s body.
A thought simultaneously surfaced in his mind.
[Harvested a fifth-grade Heart Ape Fruit, acquired the formula for fifth-grade Ape Demon Wine.]
As the thought passed, a wealth of information appeared in Lu Xuan’s Sea of Consciousness.
[Ape Demon Wine, the unique Monkey Wine of the White Jade Sky Monkey clan, when consumed, can strengthen the vital energy, enhance the strength of the flesh body, and with long-term and heavy consumption, can even momentarily invoke the White Jade Sky Lifting Ape Physique, driving one into a berserk, fearless state.]
[Feeding Monkey Wine to monkey-type Monster Tribe beasts can purify their bloodlines, break through their own ranks, and even aid in breaking through realms.]
“As expected, it revealed the strange Monkey Wine that the old Elder Ape treasured so much. No wonder the White Jade Sky Monkeys could go berserk at any moment; it’s most likely related to their long-term drinking of the Ape Demon Wine.”
