Chapter 235 Monkey King's Treasure Offering
The space inside the cave was quite large, reaching a height of twenty to thirty zhang. There were also several smaller caves, which seemed to be the nest of this group of monkeys. Tender chirping sounds came from a small cave, and a few small monkeys peeked out, but were immediately pulled back by an ape-like arm.
Then, a mother monkey appeared at the cave entrance, watching Han Li warily, making threatening noises.
"Roar!" The red-haired monkey king growled softly.
The mother monkey's expression immediately changed, and she retreated back into the cave.
The red-haired monkey king turned its head and made a couple of apologetic sounds to Han Li, then continued towards the innermost part of the cave, quickly arriving at the innermost cave.
This cave was not very large, only a few zhang in size. A rich aroma of wine permeated the air, coming from a stove that was taller than a person.
The stove was grayish-white in color, as if cast from some unknown stone. It was supported by three legs below, rounded in the middle, and covered with a bamboo hat-shaped lid on top.
Eight large runes were engraved on the stove body, making it look quite extraordinary, but the entire stone stove did not emit any aura, as if it were just an ordinary stove.
The red-haired monkey king pointed at the stone stove and squeaked a few times, then leaped onto the stove and opened the top lid with a grab of its hand.
The stove contained more than half a stove of liquid, which was light red in color. A rich aroma of wine emanated, it was indeed the monkey wine from the gourd.
This stove of wine was obviously not fully brewed, and still looked a bit cloudy.
A lot of fruit peels and fruit core remains were scattered next to the stove.
Han Li looked at the fruit peels on the ground and frowned slightly.
"Did you brew your monkey wine using these things?" He pointed at the fruit peels and fruit cores on the ground and asked.
The red-haired monkey king nodded repeatedly.
Han Li fell silent, walked to the stone stove, and carefully examined it, his eyes gradually brightening.
The fruit peels on the ground were all ordinary mountain fruits. Although they contained some spiritual energy due to growing in the Zhongming Mountains, they could only be considered the most ordinary spiritual fruits.
Being able to brew a fine wine comparable to immortal wine with these things, although the monkeys' brewing skills were certainly excellent, most of the reason was probably due to this mysterious stone stove.
Han Li watched for a moment, placed his palm on the stone stove, and slowly injected Immortal Spiritual Power into it.
The result was like a mud ox entering the sea, the stone stove did not react at all.
He frowned slightly, his body shone with a great cyan light, increasing the amount of Immortal Spiritual Power, and at the same time, his divine sense also submerged into it.
The eight runes on the surface of the stone stove suddenly flashed a glimmer of light, but immediately dimmed again.
A hint of joy flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he withdrew his Immortal Spiritual Power and divine sense.
Although he still couldn't explore the mysteries of this stone stove, this thing was indeed not ordinary.
"Where did you get this stone stove from?" He looked at the red-haired monkey king and asked.
The monkey king scratched his head, then pointed to the mountain cave and squeaked for a while.
"Are you saying that this thing was originally placed here?" Han Li said tentatively.
The monkey king looked happy and nodded repeatedly.
Seeing this, Han Li fell silent.
This mountain cave was not artificially excavated, how could such a mysterious stone stove appear, could it be that someone put it here?
But then, he shook his head.
Regardless of where this stone stove came from, it was definitely a rare treasure, at least a brewing treasure.
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
At this moment, other monkeys came in from outside, playing in the mountain cave.
The originally quiet mountain cave suddenly became a bit lively.
Many monkeys looked towards the innermost cave, but did not set foot inside.
"This stone stove is very useful to me, I wonder if you can bear to part with it?" Han Li glanced outside, quickly retracted his gaze, and said to the red-haired monkey king.
"Of course, I won't take your things for nothing. Pills, spiritual fruits, or anything else, you can choose whatever you want." Han Li continued, turning his hand over and taking out a large pile of things, suspending them in front of the red-haired monkey king.
The monkey king's eyes lit up when he saw those pills and spiritual fruits.
However, the monkey shook its head fiercely, seemingly trying to get rid of the temptation of these things, and pointed to the direction of Scarlet Cloud Peak, squeaking.
Seeing this, Han Li pondered slightly and said, "Do you want me to take you to live on Scarlet Cloud Peak?"
The monkey king nodded repeatedly, then thought of something again, and pointed to the monkeys outside, squeaking again.
"You want me to take them with you too?" Han Li asked.
The monkey king nodded, a look of hope appearing in its eyes.
The monkeys outside seemed to have sensed something, and stopped playing and hissing, becoming extremely quiet.
"Alright, but although the spiritual energy on Scarlet Cloud Peak is much richer than here, the climate is also much colder, can you withstand it?" Han Li thought for a while and then asked.
The monkey king nodded vigorously, thumping its chest loudly.
"Good. In that case, I'll come over later to take you away, you guys prepare for the migration first." Han Li put away the things he had taken out and said.
The monkey king squeaked excitedly, turned around and ran towards the outside, squeaking loudly.
The monkeys outside cheered excitedly, all the monkeys jumping up in jubilation.
Han Li smiled faintly, looked at the stone stove, waved his hand and sent out a cyan light to wrap it, taking it together with the monkey wine inside.
A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and then he walked out of the mountain cave.
A moment later, a cyan light shot out from the waterfall, heading towards the distance, and in the blink of an eye flew thousands of miles before stopping, revealing Han Li's figure.
Several black mountain peaks stood tall here, without much vegetation, quite desolate, and covered with a thick layer of snow.
He took a light breath, then rubbed his hands together.
With a "whoosh" sound, the Chongshui Zhenlun emerged.
Han Li chanted incantations and fully urged it.
But in the next moment, his expression changed slightly, only feeling that the Immortal Spiritual Power in his body was being sucked away by the Chongshui Zhenlun like a flood that had burst its banks.
Before he could do anything, the Chongshui Zhenlun in front of him shone with a great black light, instantly growing several times larger.
A terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from the Chongshui Zhenlun, circles of black light waves swept out, making a rustling sound, like huge ocean waves.
Within a radius of thousands of miles, the heaven and earth spiritual energy seemed to have been stimulated, and fluctuated violently.
Countless blue light spots emerged, converging towards one place.
Seeing this scene, Han Li was first stunned, and then overjoyed.
The true wheel in front of him had now grown to the size of a house, spinning rapidly, its surface emitting a dazzling black water light, and the blue Water Dao patterns on it were shining brightly, the black and blue colors reflecting each other, seeming to have a mutual promoting effect, becoming brighter and brighter, like a black and blue sun.
At the same time, invisible fluctuations surged out from it, wave after wave, and becoming more and more intense, causing the nearby void to also tremble violently, setting off huge gusts of wind that swept towards the surroundings.
Han Li pondered slightly, then swung his arm fiercely.
The house-sized Chongshui Zhenlun immediately shot out, striking towards the ground below.
The black and blue light on the surface of the true wheel shone greatly, turning into an incomparably grand rainbow.
Rumble!
The ground and the sky shook violently at the same time, as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting.
The black and blue light waves swept towards the surroundings, setting off a monstrous hurricane, the snow on the ground was easily swept up, and the ground was also scraped off a layer, countless dust soaring into the sky.
The clouds in the sky also changed and surged, layer upon layer, like roaring and rushing giant waves, spreading towards the distance.
Scarlet Cloud Peak, thousands of miles away, also seemed to shake with it, and countless snow rustled down.
In the spiritual fields at the foot of the mountain, Sun Bu Zheng and others looked surprised, looking at each other, not knowing what had happened.
"Could it be that Elder Li is cultivating some Gongfa? But the tremor doesn't seem to be coming from the peak." One person said tentatively.
"Besides Elder Li, who else can create such a big commotion? He just came out of seclusion, perhaps he is cultivating some extremely powerful Gongfa, or has refined a secret treasure and is trying out its power." Sun Bu Zheng looked towards the direction of the tremor, a look of longing appearing in his eyes.
Meng Qianqian also looked towards the distance, admiration showing in her beautiful eyes.
Thousands of miles away, the earth-shattering tremor disappeared without a trace, the rolling smoke and dust slowly stopped, revealing the condition of the ground.
A huge gully now appeared on the ground, hundreds of zhang wide, extending to both sides, no one knows how long, it seemed as if the earth was cut in half.
The ground crack gully was dark and bottomless, and one or two points of scorching red light could be vaguely seen inside, seeming to be connected to the magma deep underground.
The nearby mountain peaks had all disappeared, obviously turned into dust.
Han Li stood in mid-air, the Chongshui Zhenlun suspended beside him, having returned to its original size, gently rotating.
His face was slightly pale, fully urging the Chongshui Zhenlun, it sucked away 30% of the Immortal Spiritual Power in his body at once.
But there was more surprise in the expression on his face.
The power of the Chongshui Zhenlun was so great, far beyond his expectations. If it were used in actual combat, its power would probably be comparable to a postnatal immortal artifact of no low grade.
He took a deep breath, his complexion quickly returned to normal, turned his hand and put away the Chongshui Zhenlun, and then his figure turned into a cyan light, heading towards Scarlet Cloud Peak.
……
Half a day later, inside a huge mountain cave on the mountainside of Scarlet Cloud Peak, a figure flickered, and Han Li's figure appeared.
He glanced around slightly, then raised his hand and flicked his fingers repeatedly.
Sword qi shot out in all directions, the extremely hard mountain wall seemed to have turned into tofu, and more than a dozen smaller mountain caves were quickly dug out, the surface smooth.
Han Li nodded satisfied, and waved his sleeve.
A flash of light appeared on the ground in the mountain cave, and a group of monkeys appeared out of thin air, it was the group of monkeys at the foot of the mountain.
The monkeys looked around, a look of joy on their faces, and soon scurried around in the cave.
The red-haired monkey king leaped to the entrance of the mountain cave, glanced around a few times, a look of great joy appeared in his eyes, and then immediately turned back, repeatedly bowing to Han Li.
"From now on, you will live here. If you have any difficulties, you can go to the peak and find my servant." Han Li said slowly.
The red-haired monkey king squeaked and nodded repeatedly.
Han Li's figure shook and disappeared from the spot.
The monkeys ran over, looked at each other for a while, and then, led by the monkey king, knelt down in the place where Han Li had just stood.
At this time, Han Li had already returned to the cave dwelling on the peak, put the stone stove in a room, and laid down a few restrictions.
After doing this, he came to the secret room.
Now that the three sect missions have been completed, and the Chongshui Zhenlun is almost over, it is time to consider the matter of pills.
A look of contemplation appeared on Han Li's face, and he sat down cross-legged.
