After a long while, the Ape King slowly sat up. He shook his head, brushing off the dust, a look of shock in his eyes. Looking across at Yu Kai, who was gasping for air, he shouted, "You win!" His voice was filled with a certain boldness.

"Lead the way!" Yu Kai panted as he shrank his body back to its normal size.

"My men! Let's go back to the mountain to entertain our distinguished guests!" The Ape King stood up, his voice filled with majesty, and jumped up the mountain with a group of iron-armed apes.

Yu Kai took out a bottle of nectar and gulped down two mouthfuls to replenish his strength. He waved his hand, and a burst of spiritual energy lifted Xuan'er and the others up, sending them flying towards the mountain.

Led by the Ape King, they arrived at a vast cave. Iron-armed apes had already laid out rare spiritual fruits for them and poured them precious monkey wine. The aroma of the wine permeated the entire cave, whetting everyone's appetite.

Yu Kai didn't hesitate and drank directly in big gulps. This monkey wine was indeed well-deserved of its reputation. It was soft on the palate, not spicy or pungent, and slid into the stomach like warm water when swallowed. Even those who didn't usually drink could easily tolerate it. After drinking it, he felt warm all over, his spiritual power increased, and a tingling sensation spread through the wound on his chest. He gently stroked the wound, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "It really works, the wound is healing!"

"Of course! The monkey wine I, the Iron-Armed Ape, brews is incredibly effective in healing injuries!" The Ape King pointed at his two lieutenants. After downing the monkey wine, their panda eyes and crooked mouths instantly healed, their faces filled with surprise. This wine was in such limited supply that even their king was reluctant to drink it.

Xuan'er and the others watched in amazement, immediately grabbing their glasses and drinking. Elder Fang even exclaimed exaggeratedly, "This monkey wine is simply a panacea!"

"It's all thanks to you, hero! Otherwise, how could I have such a good drink?" After two glasses of wine, the Second King unexpectedly broke through to the peak of the Saint Realm. He shouted excitedly: "I broke through!"

"Yes! I never thought that an old man like me could drink such good things. My strength has also recovered! After drinking a few more glasses, I will definitely be able to avenge the beating!" Elder Fang looked at the second king with a provocative look on his face.

"Come on! Old man?" The second king picked up the wine jug and started drinking it. The wine flowed down his throat, and he looked very satisfied.

"Hmm!" Elder Fang was stunned, then followed suit and picked up the wine jug to drink.

The two men drank the wine dry, threw the wine pots at each other, rushed together, and started fighting. They rolled back and forth on the ground, causing the surrounding iron-armed apes to laugh loudly. From time to time, some people applauded and cheered, and the cave was noisy.

"Brother Yu, they..." The Ape King looked at Yu Kai.

"I've had too much to drink, let them do whatever they want!" Yu Kai started drinking again with a smile on his face.

Seeing that Yu Kai didn't care, the Ape King and the others just treated it as a show and cheered from time to time.

Yu Kai saw Xuan'er blushing as she walked out with the wine jug, and immediately followed her with the jar. "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's too noisy inside, let's go drink outside!" Xuan'er staggered, her steps a little unsteady.

Yu Kai stepped forward to support her, "Okay!"

The two sat down in front of a large rock. Xuan'er lay down directly, looked up at the sky, and said softly, "The moon is so round tonight!"

"Yes!" Yu Kai also lay down with his hands under his head. The Moon Spirit Holy Sword automatically flew out and inserted beside him. The sword body flashed with a faint light and automatically absorbed the moonlight.

"What are you thinking about?" Yu Kai asked softly when he saw Xuan'er was silent.

"I was thinking, if I use this monkey wine to make pills, will I be able to practice cultivation?" Xuan'er pondered, with a hint of anticipation in her voice.

"Don't say that. You can try it. I'll help you see if Dan Emperor has any records!" Yu Kai searched quickly, and suddenly he sat up with excitement in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Xuan'er was startled by him and sat up.

"Yes, there really is!" Yu Kai was extremely excited. His hands moved nimbly, and streams of spiritual power flew out. He picked up some spiritual herbs from the surroundings, which seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and slowly floated towards him.

"What are you going to do?" Xuan'er looked at the flying elixir, her eyes full of confusion.

"Open the last few pages of the Dan Emperor's notes I gave you!" Yu Kai urged in an urgent tone.

Xuan'er closed her eyes and carefully searched for the Dan Emperor's handwritten notes that he had imprinted in her mind. Soon, she too was shocked, a flicker of disbelief in her eyes. "Using the monkey wine refined by the Iron-armed Ape as an inducer, supplemented with the Lingyun Grass unique to the Luoyao Mountains, and then infused with special spiritual energy to blend, you can refine the Soul-Guiding Pill. This pill can help those without spiritual roots connect with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, breaking the shackles of the mortal body and opening the path to transcendence and sainthood."

"Is this...is this true?" Xuan'er hugged Yu Kai's arms and asked excitedly, her body trembling slightly.

"Let's try it and we'll know if it's true. These are Lingyun Grasses, and my spiritual power is very special!" Yu Kai said seriously, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Okay! Let's give it a try!" Xuan'er opened the package next to her, and a familiar alchemy furnace appeared in front of Yu Kai. Yu Kai was stunned there, with a hint of shock in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Xuan'er noticed that Yu Kai was acting strangely and asked with concern.

"No...it's okay! Let's start?" Yu Kai looked at the girl who looked exactly like Liu Ling. He was shocked, but soon regained his composure.

"Grandpa Alchemy Furnace, I found the recipe for the elixir that can change my physique. I'd like to ask you to refine it for me now!" Xuan'er bowed respectfully to the alchemy furnace, then took out the charcoal she had brought with her and gently placed it under the furnace.

The so-called Alchemy Furnace Grandpa ignored her. Yu Kai stretched out his finger and pointed, and a real fire instantly burned. The flames jumped and made a "crackling" sound, as if cheering for the alchemy ceremony that was about to begin.

"I'll help control the fire, you just focus on refining!" Yu Kai said softly, looking at Xuan'er intently.

"Yes!" Xuan'er nodded. She followed the instructions, placing each stalk of Lingyun grass into the furnace, her movements gentle and practiced. The Lingyun grass slowly burned in the furnace, emitting a faint fragrance. Then she poured in the monkey wine and slowly refined it.

Soon Yu Kai knew it was his turn to input spiritual power.

Without a moment's hesitation, he poured the newly recovered pseudo-god power directly into the alchemy furnace. With the infusion of pseudo-god power, the elixir seemed to take on a soul, and a faint medicinal fragrance quickly emanated, filling the entire valley. The Moon Spirit Holy Sword soared, casting a barrier above their heads, shimmering with a faint light, like a protective barrier, preventing interruption.
