The female cultivator waved to Xie Jiuniang again, motioning her to come over.
Xie Jiuniang didn't move, and asked curiously, "You haven't told me who you are yet?"
The female cultivator chuckled, "Very cautious, not bad."
Then she took out a jade token representing her identity, and with a slight movement of her wrist, the jade token flew towards Xie Jiuniang.
Xie Jiuniang raised her hand to catch it and checked it with her spiritual sense.
This sight made me stunned again.
Xing Luan, Danfeng, direct disciple, learned from Master Mu Hong. Judging from the bone age, he is already 138 years old. So, this person is Danfeng's disciple, and he has been in the secret realm for not 50 years, but 100 years
Mu Hong Zhenjun is an eighth-grade alchemist who has been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years and has not yet come out. In her previous life, Xie Jiuniang had never seen him, but had only heard of him a few times. He had always wanted to find his missing eldest disciple, but to no avail. The last time she heard about him was when he failed to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage.
Xie Jiuniang returned the identity jade token to Xing Luan.
She didn't sense any malice from Xing Luan.
After some communication, Xie Jiuniang learned some information about Xing Luan.
When Xing Luan entered the secret realm, she encountered danger and all the disciples in her team died. She was seriously injured and was picked up by a spirit monkey and taken back to the Spirit Monkey Mountain. She woke up and recuperated for several years before her injuries healed. At that time, the secret realm had already been closed. Later, she relied on her alchemy skills to gain the protection of the monkey group.
Regarding the question of cultivation.
The reason why she hasn't formed a pill in a hundred years is because of her own suppression.
Because once the pill is formed, there is no possibility of leaving the secret realm.
Those with the strength of Golden Core or above cannot enter or exit the secret realm. They will be annihilated by the rules of the secret realm at the entrance.
In the past fifty years, she had thought about leaving the secret realm, but she couldn't find the right way and got lost in the secret realm for several months. Finally, the monkey found her and brought her back to Linghou Mountain. She had explored the way over the years, but due to the dangers of the secret realm, her results were limited.
Xie Jiuniang waved to Xuanyuan You.
Xuanyuan You appeared and greeted Xing Luan politely.
The two followed Xing Luan into the courtyard.
Xie Jiuniang let down most of her guard, not because she trusted Xing Luan, but because she was confident that her ability was no worse than hers and she was not afraid of Xing Luan causing trouble. Besides, she did not think Xing Luan was stupid.
A chance to leave once in fifty years.
No normal human being would want to miss it.
Xing Luan smiled gently and said, "I never thought I would see my fellow disciples again in my lifetime. Do you two want to wash up?"
"Fine."
When visiting someone's home, it is polite to dress neatly.
Xie Jiuniang immediately performed a few purification spells on herself and combed her messy hair. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a pretty and delicate girl.
Xuanyuan You was the same, and he was completely transformed in just a few moves.
The two men stood tall and introduced themselves to Xing Luan in a formal and decent manner.
Xing Luan was very shocked to hear that the two were being chased by a black-feathered eagle and had lost their way and came here.
Xie Jiuniang asked tentatively: "Senior Sister Xing, have you heard of that eagle?"
As expected, Xing Luan told them, "The Black Eagle in Chiya is a tyrant in the secret realm. It is well-known in the secret realm. The clan leader said that it is very powerful and no one in this area dares to provoke it."
Xie Jiuniang and Xuanyuan You looked at each other.
They both shuddered, still feeling frightened.
So, they kept their mouths shut tacitly and did not say a word about how they provoked the black eagle.
Seeing that the two did not mention it, Xing Luan tactfully did not ask any more questions.
Xie Jiuniang mentioned the key point, "We won't stay here for long, do you want to go with us?"
"Yes, I dream of leaving the secret realm."
Before leaving, Xing Luan said he wanted to say goodbye to the leader of the Monkey Clan.
The spirit monkey is well-known for its gentle temperament, and generally will not attack humans or monsters. Xing Luan led the two in one direction and told them a few taboos, asking them not to reveal any malicious intent when they saw the spirit monkey.
Not even a little bit.
At the same time, you cannot pick fruits from the trees at will.
All the fruit trees on Monkey Mountain have owners.
Keep your distance when you see monkeys, and don't take the initiative to touch their bodies, as they will regard it as a provocation, etc. In fact, if two people trespass into the monkey mountain, it will be a big trouble if one of them is not handled properly.
Fortunately, Xing Luan has had a good relationship with the monkey over the years.
Along the way, Xie Jiuniang and Xuanyuan You did not hide their figures.
Xing Luan accepted it with a smile, and handed the little monkey a low-level pill.
The little monkey was so excited that he jumped onto the branch again.
Xuanyuan You was itching to take action, and was touched by the cuteness of these monkeys. "Little profiteer, do you think I should take one out with me?"
"Haha, as long as the monkey is willing." Xie Jiuniang didn't care.
Xing Luan's words disillusioned him, "If you are not a contracted beast, you cannot leave the secret realm."
Xuanyuan You said regretfully: "Forget it, I already have a contracted beast."
Xie Jiuniang knew that he had contracted a Netherworld cat, and it was a little cub.
After passing through most of the orchard, we saw some tree houses and there were more and more monkeys around.
Finally, the three of them came to a big old tree.
A golden little monkey was squatting on a tree branch, chewing a spiritual fruit that was bigger than its face.
This monkey is very small and was born not long ago.
Different from other monkeys, its body is golden and its eyes are also golden. Seeing that Xie Jiuniang and the other two were confused, it glanced at them for a few seconds and continued to eat fruit.
Xing Luan said that she wanted to visit the clan leader.
A large adult golden monkey walked out of the tree hole.
The sword spirit reminded Xie Jiuniang, "The golden monkey, the power of the Nascent Soul, is very strong."
"Clan leader, I'm leaving." Xing Luan made his purpose clear.
The golden monkey's gaze was not fierce, but rather kind. He asked, "Is this your fellow disciple coming to pick you up?"
"Yes, thank you for your protection over the years, Chief." Xing Luan took out the pills from his body as a farewell gift.
Xie Jiuniang and Xuanyuan You were stunned.
They both knew that demon beasts could speak human language after they had cultivated to a certain level, but that usually had to be after they had transformed. Otherwise, they could only communicate through their consciousness after signing a contract.
The chief of the monkey tribe can just speak directly
Just as Xing Luan expected, the Golden Monkey Chief did not stop her from leaving, and even held a farewell banquet for her, using the tribe's best monkey wine to entertain them.
Xie Jiuniang and Xuanyuan You were just supporting roles throughout the whole process, just for show. This monkey wine is delicious.
The two of them used elixirs and other things to exchange for wine with the monkeys of the Spirit Monkey Tribe, and they had a lot of fun.
The harvest was fruitful and I was very satisfied.
The only thing that bothered Xie Jiuniang was the little golden monkey, which inexplicably jumped onto her shoulder and refused to leave.
On one side is the water unicorn, and on the other side is the golden monkey cub.
The style of the painting was very strange, so she didn't dare to do anything rash.
She was afraid that the Golden Monkey Chief would suspect that she was trying to kidnap his cub.
Xuanyuan You glanced at her from time to time, "Little profiteer, are you trying to abduct the little monkey?"
"No, no, really not."
Xie Jiuniang waved her hands repeatedly, feeling conflicted.
It must be my identity as the child of destiny that is causing trouble. How could I come to Monkey Mountain and not gain anything
But, she really doesn't want a contracted beast.
The chief of the Golden Monkey clan left Xie Jiuniang behind, "Human, my cub likes you very much. It wants to go out with you to see the wider world, instead of being trapped here and unable to transform forever."
"I have a contracted beast."
Xie Jiuniang pointed at the water Qilin and said kindly, "Chief, the outside world may not be as safe as here. Besides, my strength is just average out there."
No matter what the chief of the Golden Monkey clan said, Xie Jiuniang insisted on not signing the contract. Finally, after some conversation, the man and the monkey reached an agreement.
The Golden Monkey Chief gave Xie Jiuniang a reward.
Xie Jiuniang only needs to take the little golden monkey out of the secret realm. When the little golden monkey goes out, it is up to its will to find a master, and it can only form an equal contract, not a master-servant contract.
Under the personal witness of the Golden Monkey Chief, Xie Jiuniang and the little golden monkey formed a temporary contract that could be terminated at any time.
Xie Jiuniang took the opportunity to tell the leader of the Golden Monkey tribe about the situation she was facing, and the leader said he would arrange for his tribesmen to help.
This unexpected turn of events really made her feel relieved.
