Chapter 78: Subduing the Monkey King, the Ling Family’s Dilemma
Wei Zhong did not act in a hurry, but practiced for another year to consolidate his cultivation, and then left secretly without the knowledge of others.
This trip to capture the golden-browed red monkey was top secret, and Wei Zhong did not want to reveal any trace of himself.
After adjusting his face and cultivation aura, Wei Zhong stepped into the Dongting Secret Realm again and headed straight towards the Autumn Maple Forest.
Looking at the red maple leaves in the forest, Wei Zhong's consciousness spread out, looking for the location of the golden-browed red monkey.
Strangely, after searching the entire maple forest, he did not find its figure, but saw many first- and second-level spirit monkeys.
"Did this third-level spirit monkey leave this place? Or... "
Wei Zhong came to the stone forest, followed the route in his memory through the high mountain, climbed the long stone steps, and finally saw the golden-browed red monkey in the ruins.
The other party was scratching his head in front of the formation of the Spiritual Medicine Garden.
Suddenly found that Wei Zhong, a stranger, had entered his territory, and immediately roared. The roar alarmed a large number of first- and second-level spirit monkeys, who surrounded Wei Zhong.
Wei Zhong stared at the third-level spirit monkey with a smile on his face.
He had already used the Dao of Time at the same time, and his cultivation level continued to rise, from the late stage of foundation building to the early stage of Dan formation, and then to the middle stage of Dan formation.
"Let's use the cultivation level of the middle stage of Dan formation to test your quality first."
Wei Zhong stepped lightly on the air with his toes, and he had already broken through the encirclement of the spirit monkeys, and his figure disappeared in a flash.
The golden-browed red monkey was alert and suddenly found that the sky was covered with dark clouds and it was about to rain in the blink of an eye.
But how could it suddenly rain in this secret realm, or it only covered an area above its head.
"Drop, drop!"
One or two drops of rain fell and hit the arm of a second-level spirit monkey, causing the other party to stagger. It was as if a heavy object hit it and lost its balance.
With a crash. The subsequent downpour fell, covering the golden-browed red monkey and its vicinity.
The other monkeys barely used all their strength to escape, but no matter how the golden-browed red monkey fled, the dark clouds were always above its head, and the heavy rain kept wrapping it.
Knowing that this was a trick of the human cultivators, the golden-browed red monkey hammered his chest and roared, and the red hair on his body instantly ignited with flames.
The blazing flame evaporated the falling raindrops, and a stream of water smoke came out, giving it a moment of respite.
Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard in the air.
It was not thunder, but the explosion produced when the black ball in Wei Zhong's hand was activated.
[Flying Throwing Technique]
The golden-browed red monkey seemed to have sensed the danger of this attack. With a loud roar, the flames on his body became more and more dazzling, and he stood in front of him with his arms crossed, and a flame shield condensed outside his arms.
However, all this was in vain. The black ball seemed to have broken a fragile glass and directly passed through the fire shield and hit his arms.
"Crack!"
It was as if the sound of bones breaking was heard, and then there was a violent explosion. The bricks and stones below were hit by the flying technique, raising gravel and dust.
A red figure jumped out from it, it was the embarrassed golden-browed red monkey.
Wei Zhong looked at the other party in the cloud, and suddenly found that a circle of green vines had been wrapped around his arms.
With this buffer, the flying technique did not completely break his arms, but only caused some fractures.
Searching for the black ball, it was found that the trajectory of the black ball had shifted, as if it was bounced out by the golden-browed red monkey in a force-reducing way.
Just as Wei Zhong stood behind the dark cloud and looked at the spirit monkey, the golden-browed red monkey also found Wei Zhong.
Ignoring the injuries on his body, he roared again, and stepped heavily on his feet and jumped towards Wei Zhong.
"At this height, what can you use to reach me."
As soon as Wei Zhong said this, he suddenly saw the flames on the spirit monkey's body burst out again when he was exhausted, forming two tail flames under his feet, supporting the other party to continue flying towards him.
Wei Zhong was immediately surprised: "Is this a new trick that he learned because he was defeated by us last time when he couldn't fly? As expected of a third-level spirit beast, he is really smart."
Despite this, there was no panic in Wei Zhong's eyes.
Because the opponent's move was too slow, much slower than the flying speed of the foundation-building, not to mention that he was facing Wei Zhong, who was now a Jindan cultivator.
In Wei Zhong's eyes, this little trick was like a child's boxing.
Wei Zhong raised his arm and casually hit the golden-browed red monkey's leg with a flying throw, instantly making the opponent's center of gravity unstable and falling directly from the air.
"Time is running out, let's fight quickly."
Wei Zhong took out the black heavy sword, and the black water spirit clothes attached to the body surface, forming a nine-foot-high black water giant.
This was a small way to use the black water spirit clothes that Wei Zhong invented inspired by Ling Hua's magic.
The black water giant held the heavy sword, like an adult waving a dagger, which looked a bit funny.
Wei Zhong shook his head, and the black water climbed onto the heavy sword again, and in the blink of an eye, it wrapped around the heavy sword, forming a giant sword with the black sword as the bones and the black water spiritual power as the flesh.
The black water giant stepped lightly on the soles of his feet, waving the heavy sword in his hand, and rushed towards the spirit monkey.
If you want to subdue this kind of spirit beast, you have to beat it.
Seeing that Wei Zhong dared to get close to him, the golden-browed red monkey took the sword without dodging.
"Bang!"
The heavy sword pressed on the head of the spirit monkey, and suddenly burst out with great force, forcing the other party to kneel on one knee.
"Submit, and I will spare your life."
Wei Zhong's spiritual consciousness transmitted to the spirit monkey, but he was thinking in his heart: 'With the intelligence of the third-level spirit monkey, it should be able to understand what I said. '
Hearing this, the golden-browed red monkey immediately raised its head, staring at the black water giant above its head with flaming eyes, and roared unwillingly.
Wei Zhong was delighted, knowing that the monkey had understood his message, but with the pride of a third-level spirit beast, the other party had no intention of surrendering for the time being.
"Humph, you're still stubborn!"
A black sphere flew out of Wei Zhong's body and landed on the heavy sword. It was the Yuanshuizhu, the life treasure that had already been promoted to the third level.
Wei Zhong injected spiritual power into it, and the weight of the Yuanshuizhu increased instantly, exerting pressure on the heavy sword at the same time.
For a time, this huge force increased several times, and the spirit beast that resisted under the sword instantly knelt on its knees, and its arms were pressed close to its head.
The monkey panicked and squeaked.
Wei Zhong didn't understand the animal language, but he also understood that the other party was probably begging for mercy.
Without rushing to remove the heavy sword, Wei Zhong's consciousness condensed into a true seal and floated towards the monkey's head.
Under the life-and-death crisis, the true seal did not take long to be successfully imprinted into its sea of consciousness.
At this moment, Wei Zhong's cultivation was at the stage of forming a pill, and his consciousness was much stronger than when he was building a foundation, but the number of condensed true seals did not increase, and it was still seven.
However, the strength of each one was much stronger than before.
After a true seal was successfully imprinted, Wei Zhong could instantly sense that there was an indescribable special connection between him and it.
Wei Zhong could also roughly understand what the other party meant.
"Master, please spare my life, master, spare my life."
The words were even clearer than those expressed by Jiucai and Dajin. Is this the difference between a third-level and a second-level spirit beast?
Wei Zhong removed the Yuanshui beads and the heavy sword, and the golden-browed spirit beast collapsed with relief, sitting on the ground with his buttocks, sticking out his tongue constantly, obviously exhausted.
After engraving one True Seal, Wei Zhong had no intention of giving up. He condensed four True Seals in succession and engraved them into his sea of consciousness one by one.
It is recorded in the True Seal Treasure Secret that a cross-level contracted spirit beast requires multiple True Seals to achieve this.
Wei Zhong's current Jindan cultivation will last for at most half an hour, and then he will recover to the late stage of foundation building.
At that time, the strength of the True Seal will also decrease. In order to ensure that the Golden Eyebrowed Red Monkey will not rebel again, Wei Zhong will use all the True Seals that can be condensed except the Nine Colors and the Big Gold on it.
After confirming that this third-level spirit beast has become his contracted spirit beast, Wei Zhong dispersed the Black Water Spirit Clothes and then carefully looked at the spirit monkey in front of him.
"It looks no different from the ordinary White Eyebrowed Red Monkey, but it is stronger, the eyebrows have changed from white to gold, and the red hair on the body is also brighter."
Just as Wei Zhong was looking at it, there was a squeak from the surroundings. It turned out that the other spirit monkeys who had just escaped saw that the situation had stopped and surrounded it again.
Wei Zhong looked at the monkeys and asked the red-browed monkey, "Are you willing to follow me?"
The monkey understood what Wei Zhong said, and grabbed a handful of the fiery red hair on his head in annoyance, then looked at the monkeys nearby and roared.
The monkeys squeaked in response, and the golden-browed monkey turned back to look at Wei Zhong and squeaked twice.
Wei Zhong also roughly understood the meaning, which roughly meant that after he left, a new king would appear in the tribe, and he was willing to follow.
Wei Zhong laughed and raised his hand to throw a jar of spiritual wine to the monkey, which was the second-level Qingluozui.
The golden-browed monkey sniffed and a look of joy appeared on his face. He caught the jar of wine, opened the seal and began to drink.
The medicinal power of the spiritual wine penetrated into his body, and the injuries he had just suffered from the battle with Wei Zhong were instantly relieved.
A jar of spiritual wine, in less than a few dozen breaths, fell into his stomach.
He licked the wine jar with a bit of desire, and looked at Wei Zhong with a bit of hope.
"There is still spiritual wine, but you have to exchange something."
Wei Zhong took out the red spiritual wine he had taken from his old nest and said, "Teach me how to brew this wine, and I will give it to you."
While speaking, Wei Zhong took out another jar of Qingluo Zui and shook it, and then waved his sleeves and took the wine jar back to the cave.
Seeing the good wine but not being able to get it, the golden-browed red monkey instantly became a little anxious, and pulled Wei Zhong to the ruins here.
Under his guidance, Wei Zhong saw another red wine pool.
Unlike the last time, the spiritual wine in the wine pool was still light red, and there were various spiritual fruits and spiritual medicines on the edge of the pool. Obviously, only half of the brewing was done this time.
The golden-browed red monkey grabbed the spiritual fruit and began to demonstrate to Wei Zhong, but unfortunately, there was still a difference between humans and monkeys. Wei Zhong could only barely understand most of his meaning, and was still a little vague about the refining process.
However, I know the raw materials needed to refine this kind of spirit wine. I will try it myself in the future and it won't take long to replicate it.
"Yes, the spirit wine is yours."
Wei Zhong waved his hand and threw a jar of spirit wine. The golden-browed red monkey took it happily and drank it again. The whole jar of spirit wine was consumed by it.
'Even for a third-level spirit monkey, it is still a bit surprising to drink the second-level Qingluo Drunk like this. These two jars are the consumption of several months. '
Wei Zhong's mouth twitched a little, but fortunately, after the golden-browed red monkey finished drinking this jar of spirit wine, he did not ask for it again.
He held his stomach and burped, pointing to the wine pool and asked:
"Master, do you need to take these spirit wines away?"
After his demonstration, Wei Zhong already understood that the spirit wine in the wine pool was close to perfection and only needed the last few processes to finish.
Without being polite, Wei Zhong waved his sleeves and accepted all the great spiritual liquid together with the spiritual fruits and elixirs on the side, and then walked out of the ruins.
The group of monkeys on the outside waited for a long time. When they saw Wei Zhong and the golden-browed red monkey appearing, they immediately let out a series of squeaking sounds.
Wei Zhong looked to his side, and the golden-browed red monkey explained: "They call you the king and ask for rewards from you."
Wei Zhong smiled, he had no interest in becoming the monkey king.
‘Did this group of monkeys see that they had rewarded this golden-browed red monkey with a second-level green dill? What a bunch of drunkards. ’
Wei Zhong waved his sleeves, and more than a dozen jars of spiritual wine flew out.
The spiritual wine this time is not the second-level Qingluo Zui, but the first-level Qingluo Zui that I brewed in my spare time. The potency of the medicine is much weaker, but it should be enough for this group of first- and second-level spiritual monkeys.
More than a dozen wine jars flew out, and the monkeys immediately started a frenzy to grab them.
Seeing a jar of spiritual wine being broken in the fight, the golden-browed red monkey let out a roar.
The group of monkeys immediately stopped trying to grab it, and a few yellow-browed monkeys took all the spirit wine into their hands, and then went on to share the rewards.
‘With this third-level monkey around, you are still very disciplined. ’
Wei Zhong looked at the golden-browed red monkey, thought for a moment and then said: "From now on, you will be called Jinmei."
Wei Zhong gave him a name at random, and the latter jumped up with joy, then pulled Wei Zhong's robe and pointed to the elixir garden surrounded by formations.
"There's a treasure in there."
It seems that this monkey is also keeping an eye on the treasures in the ruins of this sect, otherwise it would not move its nest to these ruins.
Wei Zhong tapped Jin Mei’s head: “I’ll pick it up later.”
Then he put the golden eyebrows into the cave and left with the magic sword.
When the monkeys below saw Wei Zhong leaving, they immediately put their knees to the ground and raised their hands in the air.
"I don't know where this group of monkeys learned this kind of action, but this group of monkeys is indeed much smarter than other groups."
Wei Zhong sighed, and then the flying sword flew towards the exit, and then left the cave.
A ray of light was drawn at the entrance to the secret realm and flew into the distance, then silently returned to Yunxia Island.
Seeing Ling Ziwei coming to visit, Wei Zhong pretended to have just left seclusion.
"Fairy Ling has come here, but I'm neglecting you."
Regarding Wei Zhong's behavior, Ling Ziwei rolled her eyes and pulled Xie Linghua beside her to start chattering.
Wei Zhong was not angry, but lay on a wicker chair nearby, took out the spiritual fruit and spiritual wine and drank it himself.
Listening to the conversation between the two women, Wei Zhong's eyes had drifted and focused on the panel.
[Name: Wei Zhong]
[Cultivation: Seventh level of foundation building (9%)]
[Exercise: Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique·Master Master (53%)]
【Shouyuan: 276/305】
After decades of practice, he has finally mastered the "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique" to almost the master level. Wei Zhong estimates that it will take another two years to reach the next stage of master status.
‘I don’t know how much my cultivation speed will be improved by then. ’
The "Spring and Autumn Water Refining Technique" is about to be promoted, which makes Wei Zhong happy, but the life span makes Wei Zhong a little sad.
In order to subdue Jinmei, he performed the Dao of Time twice and raised his cultivation level to the middle stage of pill formation, which took a total of forty-eight years of his life.
The wealthy Shouyuan was in danger in the blink of an eye, with only twenty-nine years left.
This little lifespan is not enough to cast the Taoist method of time twice. It seems that it is necessary to perform krypton level again in exchange for longevity.
"Retreat from the seventh level of foundation building to the sixth level of foundation building in exchange for twenty-five years of longevity."
‘In the early stage of foundation building, one level is equivalent to eighteen years, and in the later stage of foundation building, it is twenty-five years. The improvement is not that much! ’
'But there is no need to rush to the Krypton level. Now that I have subdued Jinmei, I am protected by a third-level monkey, so there is no problem with my safety.
It is better to practice slowly, or at worst, you will stay up and down in this late stage of foundation building for several more decades. ’
This was the case when Wei Zhong was refining his qi, so he was considered to have rich experience.
"Master, master!"
Xie Linghua's voice brought Wei Zhong back to the real world.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Zhong opened his eyes and asked with some confusion.
"Sister Ling has something to do with me."
Wei Zhong then focused his attention on Ling Ziwei, and saw that the other party puffed up his cheeks in anger.
"I'm sorry, Fairy Ling. Pindao was a little distracted just now. I wonder what the fairy has to do?"
The latter then exhaled and said, "Does Fellow Daoist Wei still have the Haoyuan Pill in his hand?"
Wei Zhong nodded: "But Brother Ling needs it?"
"Exactly, the bottle of Haoyuan Pill given by Fellow Daoist Wei was consumed by my brother a year ago.
Later, although I bought a few pills in the market, they were almost at the bottom. Only then did I come to see fellow Taoist Wei, hoping to buy a few more bottles. "
Wei Zhong frowned, a little confused: "Brother Ling's demand for Haoyuan Pills is so high? If you consume ten pills in two years, that's more than 10,000 spirit stones."
Ling Ziwei looked a little embarrassed:
"The main reason is that the spiritual level in the clan is not enough, which drags down my brother. This is why he has to use this kind of elixir to practice."
Wei Zhong suddenly realized that the Ling family's spiritual land was only at the second level, which was indeed not enough for the elixir-forming Ling Hua.
"In three years, with fellow Taoist Ling Hua's ability, you still haven't found a third-level spiritual land?"
Ling Ziwei felt a little bitter:
“Third level spiritual land is not that easy.
Although Luohe Mansion is rich in resources, third-level spiritual lands are not always available. Most of them are held by various Danjie families or sects.
Although there is a third-level spiritual land that can be rented in the chamber of commerce, my Ling family has almost exhausted the family's financial resources in order to help my brother survive the calamity of pill formation.
Moreover, our Ling family has so many people that we really can’t afford such a spiritual land price. "
Only then did Wei Zhong realize that he had always been a rogue cultivator and could only be carried by one or two people.
Every time I look for a spiritual place, there is no size requirement, so it is relatively cheap.
But the Ling family is different. From top to bottom, the Ling family includes all monks and mortals, at least tens of thousands of people. The spiritual land they need is not a small island like theirs.
Rather, it is truly a vast area, with areas as high as the third level, as low as the first level, and even a piece of mortal land.
This is enough for the entire Ling family to continue to cultivate and thrive.
The price of this kind of spiritual land is naturally not something that the current Ling family can afford. In comparison, a Haoyuan Dan worth more than a thousand spiritual stones is much more affordable.
After Wei Zhong figured this out, he took out two bottles of elixirs and pushed them into Ling Ziwei's hands:
"Brother Ling, if you are short of elixirs, feel free to come to Pindao."
Although I am not good at cultivation, I do have some attainments in alchemy.
Ling Ziwei looked at the two bottles of elixirs and was stunned, then took out three Thousand Spirit Water Stones and a storage bag:
"This is the Thousand Spirit Water Stones recently collected by the Ling family. There are also 25,000 Spirit Stones in this storage bag. Fellow Daoist Wei, please count them."
Wei Zhong reached out to take it, and with his spiritual consciousness, he looked into the storage bag and glanced at the three Thousand Spirit Water Stones.
Wei Zhong has exchanged more than 300 Thousand Spirit Water Stones from the Yunji Chamber of Commerce by issuing tasks in the past three years, and has no intention of stopping collecting.
Baijun's heavy water spirit consumed more than two hundred Bailing Water Stones at one time. There is no guarantee at all how much Qianjun will consume.
Therefore, based on the principle of safety, the gap in Wei Zhong's Qianling Water Stone is still very large.
After collecting the three Thousand Spirit Water Stones and the storage bag containing the spirit stones, Wei Zhong looked at Ling Ziwei and said:
"If the Ling family can collect the elixir needed to refine Haoyuan Dan, they can also come to me to refine the elixir, which will make the price much cheaper.
And even if the Ling family is financially strapped, it doesn't matter. You can get some elixirs on credit from your brother. I believe that Brother Yiling will not forget these two spiritual stones. "
"Then thank you Daoist Fellow Wei," Ling Ziwei bowed.
"Our Ling family will not be in debt to our Taoist friends for the spiritual elixir. If that day comes," Ling Ziwei approached Wei Zhong and whispered in his ear, "..."
Then Wei Zhong saw that the opponent's face was red, he threw the flying sword casually, grabbed the air and left.
While Wei Zhong was still stunned, the other party turned into a ray of light and disappeared without a trace.
With a chuckle, Wei Zhong put his hands behind his head and gently rocked the wicker chair.
Xie Linghua approached Wei Zhong's ear curiously and asked curiously: "Master, what did Sister Ling just say? Why is her face so red?"
Wei Zhong reached out and grabbed Xie Linghua's cheek: "Ling'er asked questions knowingly! As the roundworm in your sister Ling's belly, how could Ling'er not know."
"Haha, sir, stop grabbing me."
"Just pull, just pull." During the play, Wei Zhong's other hand reached toward Wei Zhong's waist dishonestly.
······
After some enjoyment, Wei Zhong returned to the cave, still recalling Ling Ziwei's words in his mind.
"This girl is really brave."
Wei Zhong sighed and calmed down his somewhat restless heart.
‘I have too many secrets, and it’s not convenient for me to have close relationships with other people at this time. If you want to respond to the other party, you must at least have the ability to keep your own secrets. ’
After thinking for a moment, Wei Zhongchang took a breath.
Then he took out various spiritual fruits and elixirs, which were all the raw materials needed to brew the red spiritual wine mentioned by Jin Mei.
Recalling the steps he taught, Wei Zhong followed the spirit wine brewing process step by step.
Failed the first time, failed the second time...
Even though he knew all the steps, the difficulty of brewing this wine was still beyond Wei Zhong's expectation.
