Chapter 37 Monkey Wine

"Whoosh!"

After walking some distance, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, a fight didn't break out in the end."

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief and gently patted her chest. Xu Yuanlang nodded silently.

Qi Xiong exuded a strong sense of oppression, and that naked killing intent lingered around him from beginning to end.

He didn't disappear until he was a hundred paces away. Although they were brothers, Qi Xiong was much stronger and more dangerous than Qi Ying.

"Yuen Long, if in the future..."

Just then, a series of booming sounds suddenly rang out in the distance.

It seemed to be a collision of spiritual energy. The three of them were startled and quickly looked up.

"Walk!"

……

"Damn it, how did I attract these things!"

Xu Yuanlang looked at the group of demonic monkeys leaping and chasing each other in the mountains and forests behind him and couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

The demon monkeys were extremely clever, and since this was their territory, they were very difficult to deal with.

"Heaven and Earth, the Three Mysteries above, spirit and soul complement each other..."

Just then, he keenly heard the sound of incantations being chanted not far away.

"Young man, Yun Que and you two girls, come here quickly."

Manager Yang, who had previously said he would explore for treasure with them but disappeared halfway, suddenly reappeared in front of them, with two black-robed cultivators standing next to him.

The inexplicable incantation came from the two of them. As the last word was recited, a thick fog suddenly swept in, and all the demon monkeys that were frantically chasing each other hurriedly hid from the fog.

"You three, come here."

The three hurriedly followed the sound and left the thick fog, eventually stopping by a pool of water.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people standing or sitting around the pool. After their arrival, the number of people here had reached twenty-one.

"Brother Yuan, these three are old acquaintances of mine. The Yun sisters, and this is the young genius who defeated Qi Ying and frightened Qi Xiong a while ago with only the fifth level of Qi Refining. By the way, do you still know your name?"

Xu Yuanlang gave his two sisters a subtle wink before speaking.

"My surname is Yu, please just call me Xiao Yu!"

"Xiao Yu, you don't know everyone very well, so let me introduce you: Boss Yuan Jiang, our great beauty Han Qing, and the resourceful senior Ma Qi."

Seeing that Xu Yuanlang remained wary, the others were not surprised, since they were not interested in each other's identities anyway.

However, the three leaders rolled their eyes when they heard that Qi Xiong had been frightened away.

The strongest of the three was Yuan Jiang, a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance, who had reached the eighth level of Qi Refining.

The other two were inferior, with only the seventh level of Qi Refining.

"What a heroic young man! He's much better than us old folks."

Ma Qi, his body hunched over, held a string of multicolored prayer beads in his hand and spoke in a sarcastic tone, Xu Yuanlang could hear the malice in his voice.

"Fellow Daoist, your surname is Ma. Could you be a member of the Ma family, a Foundation Establishment cultivator in our area?"

Ma Qi's rosary beads suddenly trembled slightly. His movement was very small, but it was caught by Xu Yuanlang's eyes.

"Haha, I am just a penniless rogue cultivator. If I were a member of the Ma family, I wouldn't be here making a living."

March's explanation seemed perfect, and Xu Yuanlang nodded. The more March said it, the stronger his doubts became.

Just then, Yuan Jiang, who had been silent all along, suddenly stood up, and everyone's eyes immediately fell on him.

"Fellow Daoists, I have asked Old Yang to gather you all here today because of an extraordinary opportunity. I wonder if any of you are interested?"

Opportunity?

The cultivators present straightened up slightly, and those who were gently maintaining their magical artifacts all stopped.

"Boss Yuan, this 'opportunity' you're talking about probably has nothing to do with us, right?"

One person in the crowd spoke loudly, and instantly all the cultivators pricked up their ears.

"Yes, even if there are spiritual objects, with your profound cultivation, Elder Yuan and the other two elders, can't you capture them with ease?"

Even if there were some soup or stew, would it be our turn?

The cultivators present were not fools. There was only one reason why Yuan Jiang spoke up like that: he needed their help, and he needed them to sacrifice their lives.

Not only them, but even Han Qing and Ma Qi showed some reluctance. They were unwilling to go to the trouble of helping Yuan Jiang in the end.

"You've misunderstood, everyone. There's enough spiritual item for each person."

After Yuan Jiang spoke, those who had initially disagreed quieted down.

"Brother Yuan, just get to the point. What kind of spiritual object are you talking about? Looking at this desolate place, it doesn't seem like there are any spiritual herbs or anything like that around here."

Faced with the doubts of the crowd, Yuan Jiang calmly spoke up.

"Gentlemen, I'm sure you've all experienced the attack by that group of demonic monkeys. The opportunity I'm about to speak of is related to those demonic monkeys!"

His words immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the twenty people present.

This group of demonic monkeys looked to be over two hundred in number, and given their rich combat experience and familiarity with teamwork, some people immediately considered giving up.

It's really not worth getting yourself seriously injured for some spiritual object.

Have you ever heard of monkey wine?

"Brother Yuan, are you talking about the legendary Monkey Wine that strengthens the body's foundation, nourishes the vital energy, and has healing and breakthrough effects? You're not kidding, are you?"

Upon hearing the words "monkey wine," the cultivators present instantly became eager.

"I have a wine-loving worm who loves fine wine. Since I came here, the wine-loving worm has been restless."

I searched everywhere and finally caught a whiff of wine deep in this dense forest, but unfortunately, there were far too many of those demonic monkeys.

I could only fight and retreat. The purpose of gathering everyone here was for those monkey wines.

"If you all want a share of the spoils, then follow my orders. If you're afraid of danger, then stay here for a few days. Once I've succeeded, you can leave as you see fit. How about that?"

After Yuan Jiang described the benefits of monkey wine, the eyes of all the cultivators present turned red, and some even couldn't help but lick their lips.

"Monkey wine, what a wonderful thing! It is said that monkey wine has pure spiritual energy, strong medicinal properties, and can even help cultivators break through to the next level."

"We can't let this opportunity pass us by; we need to find a way to get as much monkey wine as possible."

At this moment, all the cultivators in the valley had stood up and were eager to fight.

"It seems everyone has agreed, so let's proceed according to plan."

The biggest problem in getting monkey wine is these exceptionally fierce demon monkeys.

"Manager Yang, you're the fastest on your feet. Could you please take a few brothers and enter the dense forest from the east, and lure away as many of the demon monkeys as possible?"

Manager Yang's throat bobbed, and Yuan Jiang seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.

"How about Manager Yang gets 20% more monkey wine than everyone else after this is done!"

Manager Yang slapped his thigh hard and stood up abruptly.

"Alright, if that's the case, then I'll give it my all."
