You Cultivate, I Farm - Chapter 445 (Patreon)

Chapter 445: Dragon Turtle

Lu Xuan struggled to open his eyes, feeling a splitting headache and completely devoid of any memory of what had happened before.

As his spiritual consciousness slowly infiltrated, his mind gradually regained clarity.

"The lingering effects of that sixth-grade Old Ape's monkey wine are truly overwhelming; even my mid-Foundation Establishment physique can barely withstand it."

Thinking this, Lu Xuan felt some discomfort on his body, as if it was wrapped in an outer shell.

Upon closer inspection, he found a thin layer of keratin covering every part of his body, including his limbs, torso, and neck.

With a gentle surge of his spiritual power, the thin keratin layer instantly shattered into countless tiny fragments.

A deep black sword aura emerged from his fingertips, the black wind howling as it carried the fragments outside the house.

"So light."

He felt unprecedentedly nimble, with not a single impurity within his flesh and blood.

"I didn't expect the Old Ape's monkey wine to also have the effect of cleansing the marrow and veins."

Lu Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.

"I wonder if I can get my hands on it."

This thought unconsciously surfaced in his mind.

Currently, the only notable spirit wine he had was the Hundred-Fruit Spirit Juice, which, despite its varied and exquisite taste, made him consider diversifying his collection of spirit wines to change flavors.

"That monkey wine must contain special ingredients, or even a unique brewing method. The chances of getting it from the Old Ape are slim to none. Maybe I can take a detour, try to obtain the spirit fruits used for brewing the monkey wine from it, cultivate them to maturity, and see if the light group can reveal the secret recipe for the spirit wine."

His thoughts soared.

"Squeak!"

"Are you awake?"

A crisp, low growl came to his ears.

Lu Xuan looked towards the sound, only to see a small white jade monkey quietly sitting in a corner, intently staring at him.

The concern in its crystal ruby-like eyes dissipated only after it saw that Lu Xuan was alright.

"Were you guarding me all this time, little white monkey?"

Lu Xuan felt a tinge of guilt. The small white jade monkey had been guarding him ever since he got drunk, and yet upon waking, he was considering taking advantage of its family's spirit wine.

How despicable...

The thought flashed by, but the desire for the rare spirit wine immediately overpowered the slight guilt in his heart.

He stretched lazily, his bones crackling loudly.

Stepping out of the house, he walked slowly on the clouds, with the drunken haze still lingering. The small white monkey followed closely behind.

After a while, Sun Yun approached from afar.

Upon seeing Lu Xuan, he intended to avoid him, but then he noticed the small white jade monkey following behind.

The moment he saw the White Jade Heavenly Ape, Sun Yun's pupils dilated.

Having spent decades in the Myriad Beasts Grotto, he was more than familiar with this small spiritual beast.

What puzzled him was why the offspring of a sixth-grade guardian spirit beast would obediently follow behind Lu Xuan?

"Brother Lu, greetings."

With such questions in mind, he greeted Lu Xuan while passing by, his gaze fixed on the small white jade monkey.

Indeed, it was the violent monkey that had suppressed many spirit beasts in the blessed land!

"Hello."

Lu Xuan nodded at him, passing by. The small white jade monkey seemed not to notice him at all, following Lu Xuan past Sun Yun.

The duo arrived at the large mountain where the small monkey resided.

Atop the mountain, the scenery was serene and beautiful. A set of celadon tea utensils, radiant with spiritual light, sat before them, and a rustic ancient book was held in hand, completely engrossing the reader.

"Elder, thank you for the spirit wine you gifted me yesterday; it was greatly beneficial."

When Lu Xuan saw the old ape put down the book and pick up the spirit tea, he stepped forward to express his gratitude.

"A little spirit wine is nothing."

"It's rather impressive that you were able to recover from the effects of the monkey wine in less than a day, both spiritually and physically."

A hint of appreciation flashed in the old ape's eyes.

"I happened to come across a physical cultivation technique, which has significantly improved my physique after long practice."

Lu Xuan vaguely stated.

"Elder, this is the Hundred-Fruit Spirit Juice I brewed, made from dozens of spirit fruits, offering a variety of tastes."

"Also, here are some Enchanting Spirit Peaches, fragrant and crisp, rich in spiritual power, for your enjoyment."

He took out a jug of Hundred-Fruit Spirit Juice and several grade-three Enchanting Spirit Peaches from his storage bag.

The old ape had given him a precious monkey wine, so naturally, he had to reciprocate.

"Hundred-F

ruit Spirit Juice? That name sounds familiar. I recall it was the unique spirit juice of a Core Formation True Immortal in the sect, that old deer especially liked it, always having it at hand. It's surprising that you can brew it."

The old ape reminisced.

Pouring the spirit juice into a cup and tasting it, the old ape experienced the explosive flavor changes of the many spirit fruits in its mouth.

"Not bad, it's the taste I remember, perhaps even better."

It nodded slightly, giving its appraisal of the Hundred-Fruit Spirit Juice.

Lu Xuan's lips curved upwards; the Hundred-Fruit Spirit Juice was notoriously difficult to brew. After brewing, he had stored it in the Drunken Immortal Gourd for a long time to further enhance its quality.

After completing the feeding process, looking at the sixth-grade guardian spirit beast, the White Jade Heavenly Ape, sitting in front of him, Lu Xuan couldn't suppress his curiosity. His spirit quietly concentrated on the old ape.

A thought flashed through his mind.

[White Jade Heavenly Ape, a sixth-grade spirit beast, the guardian spirit beast of the Sky Sword Sect, possesses an extremely powerful physique capable of moving mountains and seas.]

[It is violent and belligerent, and once it enters a berserk state, its strength increases terrifyingly, but it also causes its spiritual intelligence to become chaotic, unable to distinguish friend from foe.]

[Cultivating its nature...]

[The world is so wonderful; it shouldn't be so irritable...]

"A sixth-grade spirit beast, probably with the strength of a mid-to-late Core Formation stage, truly terrifying..."

"Both it and the small monkey are fierce and belligerent, but I can't see any sign of viciousness at all."

Lu Xuan couldn't associate the cultured and easy-going old ape in front of him with violence.

Having learned detailed information about the old ape, he and the small monkey sat obediently beside it.

"Elder Ape, I've just arrived in the Myriad Beasts Grotto, and I'm not very familiar with the senior spirit beasts inside. Could you give me a brief introduction?"

He respectfully asked the old ape.

"Alright."

"In the Myriad Beasts Grotto, there are many spirit beasts, all raised by the Sky Sword Sect, mainly second and third grades, with quite a few fourth-grade spirit beasts as well, making them among the top in the Myriad Beasts Grotto."

"In addition, there are five beasts equivalent to the Core Formation Realm, fifth and sixth grades."

"I am one of them."

"The other four include a pair of Phoenix birds, the parents of the little Phoenix bird that often plays with the small monkey."

"They are fifth-grade spirit beasts. A few years ago, the sect's Grand Elder took them to a cave heaven to help break through its mysterious prohibitions."

"Furthermore, there are two other spirit beasts, one being a dragon turtle that has lived for thousands of years, also with sixth-grade strength."

"And an old fox with fifth-grade strength, always solitary and with a quirky, reclusive personality. You might not see it even if you stay here for decades."
