Chen Xu sat amidst the rosy glow and first clarified to the two little monkey demons that he had no healing potions.

The two monkey demons instantly looked like eggplants hit by frost, both drooping their heads.

Monkey Twelve squeaked urgently, desperately wanting to do a dozen somersaults on the spot to persuade Chen Xu to change his mind, when suddenly he heard Chen Xu say:

"Let's not talk about healing potions, do you want this prisoner?"

Monkey Twelve tilted his head, scratched his ears, momentarily not understanding what Chen Xu meant. Monkey Nine's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked toward Black Wind Roar, lying motionless on the ground.

This demon general of the black monkey tribe was now covered in blood, lying there in a pitiful state, as if dead or alive.

But since Chen Xu mentioned the word "prisoner," it seemed Black Wind Roar wasn't dead yet.

An alive, half-dead Black Wind Roar!

Bringing it back would be incredibly valuable!

Monkey Nine got excited instantly, couldn't help but step forward, his thin tail curling behind him. Trying to keep calm, he said, "Senior, do you mean you are willing to let us take Black Wind Roar back?"

Chen Xu sat there leisurely, smiling as he said, "Why not?"

"Awooo! Eee eee eee..."

Monkey Twelve finally understood the meaning of Chen Xu's words, immediately jumping and doing several somersaults on the spot.

Seeing it was about to jump right next to Black Wind Roar, eager to drag it away, Monkey Nine hurriedly grabbed Monkey Twelve's tail.

"Eee eee eee..."

Monkey Twelve was both anxious and angry, suddenly turning around to scratch Monkey Nine: "Monkey Nine, what are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, Monkey Nine suddenly extended a paw and pointed at him, spitting out one word: "Freeze!"

Monkey Twelve's anxious movements were immediately frozen.

He twisted his waist, widened his eyes, and scrunched his face, like a comical sculpture frozen on the spot.

"Eee eee..."

Suddenly, a mocking "eee eee" sound came from Chen Xu's direction.

Monkey Nine was startled and opened his eyes wide to look over.

Monkey Twelve was also startled, but controlled by the Body-Freezing Technique, he couldn't move, only his eyes rolling hard towards Chen Xu's direction, trying to see who was mocking him.

After all, the "eee eee" sound seemed strangely familiar, yet distinctly unfamiliar in a bizarre way.

Monkey Twelve's eyes were about to pop out, yet, due to the wrong angle of being frozen, he couldn't see what was happening on Chen Xu's side.

Monkey Nine, who could move freely, saw everything clearly.

It turned out to be a little gray-gold-furred mouse, which somehow slipped from the waist of that Human Race master and climbed onto his shoulder.

The little mouse's black beady eyes were hazy, visibly drowsy, yet sidled on that person's shoulder, stretching its head to ridicule the comical Monkey Twelve.

The Human Race master didn't scold it for climbing onto his shoulder. Instead, with a flip of his palm, a small, bright red fruit appeared in his hand.

The little mouse's eyes instantly lit up, quickly scampered over, and joyfully started eating the fruit.

While eating, it cheered, saying: "Red Vermilion Robe, delicious!"

Monkey Twelve smelled the fruity scent full of spiritual charm, becoming both anxious and envious, drooling.

Fortunately, Monkey Nine remembered the main task. He froze the impatient Monkey Twelve and quickly stepped forward, first cupping his hands to salute Chen Xu, expressing gratitude.

Then, unable to resist, Monkey Nine swallowed some saliva.

While quietly swallowing, he tried to maintain a calm and polite demeanor, saying: "Senior, you are willing to let us take Black Wind Roar. The little monkeys cannot be ungrateful.

This, this wine gourd of Hundred Treasures Brew, is a gift to the senior, thanking you for your assistance."

After speaking, he untied the wine gourd hanging from his waist, holding it respectfully with his furry hands and presented it before Chen Xu.

Chen Xu wasn't polite either. He gently beckoned with his hand, and the wine gourd suddenly leaped, flying freely from Monkey Nine's hands and landed in Chen Xu's possession.

The wine gourd was still tightly corked, yet a note leapt out.

[Hundred Treasures Brew, top-grade Miao Grade Spirit Wine, crafted by monkey demons with spiritual expertise by collecting a hundred rare fruits from the mountains and brewing them over time, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.

A hundred fruits and a hundred years, forming the Hundred Treasures Brew.

This wine can greatly replenish True Qi, aiding cultivation. Drinking a sufficient amount initially can activate True Qi, accelerating cultivation speed by 50% within a month. Long-term drinking can prolong life.

After several years of accumulation, drinking a hundred pounds can increase lifespan by thirty years up to the limit.]

Chen Xu, holding the wine gourd, was a bit surprised.

He had expected the Hundred Treasures Brew to be extraordinary, but hadn't anticipated long-term consumption could "prolong life"!

The most crucial part was that it wasn't some vague concept of life extension, but a lifespan increase with a clear numeric upper limit.

This was the first time Chen Xu encountered such a clear life-extending spiritual object since he began his cultivation.

Bear in mind, even with Chen Xu's balanced Tri-Attribute and his physique far surpassing ordinary people, his current lifespan limit was:

[Lifespan: 18/180]

In this world, despite the existence of many mythical magics, increasing lifespan remained a major challenge.

Thirty years, it's no small number.

In the ordinary mortal world, thirty years is sufficient for two generations to be born and grow up.

Of course, the wine gourd of Hundred Treasures Brew currently in Chen Xu's hand, he lightly weighed it in his hand, knowing it weighed no more than two pounds.

There is still a long way to go to reach the limit of one hundred pounds.

But even if we don't mention the attribute "extends lifespan by thirty years," just saying "the initial drink in sufficient quantity can activate True Qi activity, speeding up cultivation by fifty percent within a month" is enough to show the preciousness of Bai Zhen Brew.

Monkey Nine offered up the Bai Zhen Brew and immediately went happily to drag the Black Wind Roar.

However, the Black Wind Roar was tall, while Monkey Nine was only over three feet high, making them appear vastly different at first glance.

Lacking strength, Monkey Nine immediately drew a circle in the air with both hands and pointed to the dense forest on the east side.

From the dense forest, a green vine swiftly shot over, rapidly growing and extending like a living thing, binding the unconscious Black Wind Roar tightly in a moment.

Monkey Nine wiped the sweat from his forehead, suppressed his excitement, and respectfully said to Chen Xu:

"Senior, the little monkeys will take the Black Wind Roar away now. Thank you for your help. Even though we cannot exchange for the healing Spiritual Medicine..."

Speaking of the lack of healing Spiritual Medicine, its expression ultimately turned gloomy.

At this moment, Chen Xu suddenly took out a small box from his sleeve, gently tossed it, and it landed in Monkey Nine's arms in an arc.

Monkey Nine caught it in a daze, and Chen Xu smiled and said, "How could a mere Black Wind Roar be worth a gourd of Bai Zhen Brew?

Take this box of Red Vermilion Robe back as my gift to you."

Finally, Monkey Nine released the Body-Freezing Technique on Monkey Twelve.

Amid the excited chattering of Monkey Twelve, the two little monkeys dragged the Black Wind Roar entwined by vines back to the Green Water Monkey Cave at high speed.

During the process, the two little monkeys did not notice the follow of the Puppet Daoist Soldier at all.

Monkey Twelve was thrilled all the way and couldn't help but angrily say to Monkey Nine:

"Monkey Nine, you used the Body-Freezing Technique on me; after we go back, for at least three days—no, at least two days, don't think I'll help you find Spirit Fruits again."

Its nose was the most sensitive, making it an expert at finding Spirit Fruits in the mountain forests.

Monkey Twelve said helplessly, "You are so reckless. If I didn't deal with you using the Body-Freezing Technique, should I just watch you give nothing and directly drag the Black Wind Roar?"

Monkey Nine was unconvinced: "What did I do wrong?"

"You were wrong in everything; you don't understand any manners… I'll tell you, that senior acts with restraint.

A Black Wind Roar for a gourd of Bai Zhen Brew, we clearly profited, yet the senior still returned a box of Spirit Fruits to us. When we go back, I'll tell Uncle Curled Tail…"

Several hundred feet away, Chen Xu heard this and smiled faintly.

His goal was achieved, and perhaps, after this exchange, it wouldn't be long before he could directly obtain the full amount of a hundred pounds of Bai Zhen Brew.

Thereafter, the Puppet Daoist Soldier followed the two little monkeys back to the Green Water Monkey Cave.

Of course, the Daoist Soldier only lurked on the periphery and did not follow the two little monkeys into the monkey cave.

During this period, the Daoist Soldier discovered several black monkeys full of a fishy smell lurking. Upon seeing the Black Wind Roar bound by vines, each of them showed a look of astonishment.

Some of the quicker black monkeys immediately made a move to go back and report.

Without saying a word, Chen Xu directly commanded the Daoist Soldier to kill all the black monkeys encountered on the way.

He harbored no thoughts of mercy, mainly because each black monkey carried a dark and gloomy miasma, making even the Daoist Soldier's senses, and Chen Xu miles away, feel an inexplicable nauseating discomfort.

It was clear that these black monkeys were not normal creatures turned demon.

Among them, two had snake heads growing from the sacrum, looking eerie and frightening at first glance, making one unable to distinguish whether they were snakes or monkeys—

This kind of monstrosity was closely similar to the mutated villagers in Little Slope Village.

Chen Xu killed every monster of this type he encountered.

When he was done, he didn't stop there. He used the Daoist Soldier's hands to ignite True Fire on the spot, burning all the black monkey corpses to ashes.

Finally, the Daoist Soldier returned to Chen Xu with several handfuls of ashes.

Surprisingly, these ashes came with an entry as well.

[Ash from the death of a Demonic Bone Demon, soaked in demonic miasma for years, consumed with blood in life, this ash contains an eerie vitality.

After processing impurities through the Spirit Roasting Eight Techniques and kneading out demonic miasma into a pellet, one can obtain a Secondary Pill, which possesses certain healing abilities.

It can heal injuries of demons and spirits but is not edible for humans.

The maximum cultivation level of the healing object cannot exceed the Core Formation Realm, and the specific healing ability depends on the circumstances.]

After reading the entry, Chen Xu pondered for a moment.

Indeed, the world was full of surprises; he just mentioned he had no healing Spiritual Objects, and now, after killing a few black monkeys, the healing spiritual object was in his hands.

Thinking back, he once killed a Demon Puppet Cat, and the demonic bone left by its death, burned into powder, also had healing abilities.

But because the Demon Puppet Cat was of low rank, the healing power of the bone powder was very weak, and more importantly, he had used up all those powders long ago, which was why Chen Xu had always told the monkey demons he had no healing spiritual objects.

Now, this unexpected turn of events was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Chen Xu collected the ashes of the black monkeys in the Fire and Smoke Kitchen and noticed that there were still several scattered patches of monkey blood left on the ground nearby—

That monkey blood had been spilled by the injured Black Wind Roar.

Chen Xu simply used Spirit Manipulation Technique to beckon from afar, and the monkey blood on the ground rolled up with the sand into a ball, floating lightly in the air.

In mid-air, Chen Xu breathed out a flame, and the mixture of sand and blood rolled and burned together.

In an instant, the sand dissolved, and the remaining blood coagulated into a solid brown mass.

Chen Xu beckoned it into his hand and gently rubbed it, turning it into a powder, revealing another entry:

[Blood Residue Charcoal of Extreme Demon, Yin to the extreme gives birth to Yang; when blended and boiled with Red Vermilion Robe, one can obtain a healing spiritual substance, capable of stopping and generating blood.]
