Beside a stream in the mountains and forests, Qin Shaoyou shook his long hair that was not yet dry and put on the sect's clothes.
Not far away from him, the red-eyed monkey was also playing happily in the water.
It had a big fish in its mouth and was chewing it with relish.
Although the monkey has inherited the power of demon cultivation, it has not yet reached the stage of channeling and cannot use spiritual energy to practice. It can only rely on constant eating and devouring to accumulate spiritual power in the body.
This is also the fundamental reason why the cultivation of the demon race is much more difficult than that of the human race.
However, the fish it is eating now is not a monster, it is simply because it is hungry.
Qin Shaoyou put on his clothes and looked up into the distance.
"Wuyun Mountain, Yunwu Mountain..."
"The fairy mountain in Qingdeng's mouth should refer to here."
Wuyun Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, and half of the mountain is hidden in the clouds, which echoes the legends he heard since childhood.
Thinking about it, no matter how scheming Qing Deng is, he would not dare to use Yuan Ling Zong as a cover.
If someone really followed his story and found the foreign sect, wouldn't he be in a terrible situation?
But the trouble now is that he ran out of it!
There is a barrier around Wuyun Mountain, which cannot be crossed without the jade pendant of an inner sect disciple.
If he just goes back like this, he can't reasonably explain why he ran away, and he might be punished for "damaging the sect's spiritual veins" and other crimes.
After all, in the Yuanling Sect's view, the "spiritual veins" under Wuyun Mountain belong to the sect.
Even the storage bags they give to mining disciples are subject to restrictions, not to mention that Qin Shaoyou has now taken away a large number of medium-grade spiritual stones?
Or just leave it like that and not go back?
He began to hesitate in his heart.
No.
no!
Cultivation resources are not only spiritual stones, but also elixirs, Taoist techniques, talismans, formations and other means. As a casual cultivator, these things are extremely difficult to obtain!
At least for low-level monks, even if they get it, they can't keep it.
Because there will always be people with higher cultivation than you who will come and snatch it!
Without the protection of the sect, the road to immortality will never go far!
Besides, he needs the Foundation Establishment Pill now, or the fairy grass for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, and he can't look far away to find it elsewhere.
"Hey, do you know the way into the mountain?"
"Bypass that barrier?"
Qin Shaoyou thought for a long time, maybe the monkey knew other shortcuts.
Otherwise, how could it have gotten into the mine?
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the monkey threw the fish, jumped out of the water, ran and crawled in front of Qin Shaoyou, and started gesticulating.
"Great, lead the way!"
The monkey readily agreed, and immediately rushed out after looking in a certain direction.
Qin Shaoyou was secretly surprised that this monkey had not even started practicing yet, but his speed was much faster than many monks in the Qi Refining Realm.
He hurriedly followed.
The two moved extremely fast, like two gray lightning bolts, moving around in the mountains and forests, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.
Not long after, they came to the foot of a cliff.
The cliff is not high, only a few feet above the ground.
On the cliff, there was a small hole, and in the hole lay a dry and rotten tree root.
Qin Shaoyou raised his head slightly and saw a huge tree lying on the hillside opposite the barrier.
The trees were cut in half and had been dead for a long time.
Obviously, the cave was left by the original tree roots.
The monkey jumped up and ran along the cave into the barrier.
"Unexpectedly, this Yuan Ling Sect's barrier also has shortcomings."
Qin Shaoyou smiled happily but helplessly.
During this period of time, he had drilled holes until he was numb, and this one was no different.
He tapped his toes and his body flew up lightly. At this stage of his cultivation, he could already float in the air for a short time.
After entering the barrier from the cave, Qin Shaoyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you very much, little monkey!"
He and the monkey can be considered to have gone through adversities together, and they would never know each other without fighting.
But at this moment, it should also be time to say goodbye.
"Let's just say goodbye!"
"I hope we all have the chance to meet again on the road to becoming immortals!"
With that said, he prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the red-eyed monkey heard that he was about to leave, jumped in front of him and blocked his way.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Although the monkey couldn't speak, Qin Shaoyou could still guess what it meant from its expression.
"You won't leave?"
"That's okay, it's okay if you want to stay here."
The monkey became anxious and pointed at himself and then at him.
Qin Shaoyou was confused, what does this mean?
"you..."
"You want to follow me?"
The monkey nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Qin Shaoyou was completely speechless.
"What are you doing with me?"
"I don't raise monkeys!"
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The monkey scratched its ears and cheeks anxiously, rolled its eyes a few times, and suddenly swooped to Qin Shaoyou's feet and hugged his thigh tightly!
"Hello!"
"what are you doing?!"
"release!"
Qin Shaoyou was shocked.
The speed of this monkey is really terrifying. He is already at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, and he has no chance to dodge.
"squeak!"
The monkey was unmoved and had a tendency to climb up slowly.
"Hey hey hey!"
"Stop climbing up!"
"Let me go!"
"squeak!"
"release!"
"squeak!"
"I hate monkeys!"
"squeak!"
Qin Shaoyou wanted to cry but had no tears.
He himself hasn't settled down in Yuan Ling Sect yet. What does it mean to bring a monkey to cultivate immortality?
At this moment, the image of seeing another red-eyed monkey in Waizong flashed through his mind, as if there were monkeys on Waizong Mountain.
Thinking about it this way, it's not impossible to put the monkey on the mountain for the time being.
Maybe after it got to know a few female monkeys, it lingered around and forgot about him?
But, are the ones on these feet only male or female?
Tch, never mind it!
It doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't bother you anymore.
"Okay, okay!"
"release!"
"I'll just let you follow!"
He said helplessly.
As expected, the monkey understood what he said, and upon hearing this, he immediately grinned.
It rolled its eyes, turned over and jumped, and climbed onto Qin Shaoyou's shoulder neatly.
Then it looked greedily at Qin Shaoyou's bun, stretched out its claws, and tried to find some lice in the hair.
"Hello!"
"enough!"
Qin Shaoyou was very disgusted and threw it from his shoulder with an angry shout.
"You stay away from me!"
He went back on his word.
The monkey flipped several times flexibly in the air and landed firmly on the ground.
It ran back again, with a pleading look on its face.
Qin Shaoyou was speechless and thought, could this be a female monkey?
no!
Can’t dwell on it!
fear!
The monkey stood far away. After hearing Qin Shaoyou's roar, his face was filled with grievances, but he still did not leave.
Qin Shaoyou stared at it intently.
At a certain moment, he suddenly thought of something, maybe this monkey could help.
"You can follow me, but I have to make an agreement!"
"First, you can't come within three feet of me, let alone stand on my shoulders!"
"Second, you can't come to me if you cause trouble!"
"Third, you have to help me with something!"
"The thing is done, I will consider whether to take you with me again!"
