Yuquan Town is 200 miles northeast of Chongming Peak.

The reason why Yuquan Town was named "Quan" is because when Yuquan Town was first established, a weak spiritual spring was discovered. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy of the spring dissipated within a hundred years, leaving only a spring water without any spiritual energy.

The population of Yuquan Town is slightly larger than that of Yulin Town, about 150,000. Unlike the mayor of Yulin Town, the person in charge of Yuquan Town is Lu Gang, a descendant of Lu Xuanyu, a foundation-building cultivator of the Lu family. However, since he has no talent for cultivating immortals, he is arranged to stay in Yuquan Town and do some mundane things.

When I saw Lu Gang, I found that he was an old man, a little thin, with gray beard hanging down, slightly dark skin, probably in his sixties or seventies. He seemed to be very worried when I saw him.

In this world, ordinary people can only live to around eighty years old. Even those who have mastered Qi training can only live to 110 or 120 years old. Only those who have successfully built their foundation can live to 200 years old. Of course, if they condense the golden elixir, they can live to 500 years old. It is said that Yuanying can live for a thousand years, far exceeding the duration of the dynasties in the previous world.

Generally speaking, among mortals and their offspring, the probability of only having spiritual roots is probably one in ten thousand. The probability among Qigong cultivators will soar, and is probably between one thousandth and one percent.

For a foundation-building cultivator, after the body has undergone Yijin and Xisui, the probability of giving birth to offspring with spiritual roots will increase to one-fourth. Similarly, after the foundation is built, it is more difficult to produce offspring.

Lu Gang happened to be a descendant of the foundation-building clan who had no spiritual roots. Even a descendant of the foundation-building clan could not enter the family tree. That was the rule.

When Lu Gang saw that the immortal master from his own family who came was Lu Wu, whom he knew, and a young man, he thought that the young man was accompanying them for training and the person in charge was Lu Wu, also known as Uncle Nine.

So he asked Uncle Jiu, "Who is this?"

"Let me introduce you to this person. He is the most outstanding descendant of this generation in the family and is deeply loved by the old patriarch."

“This time he invited me to help solve the problem together.”

Hearing this, Lu Gang was greatly surprised. This young man, who was less than 20 years old, was already able to invite a late-stage cultivator like Lu Wu to join him. As the offspring of a foundation-building cultivator, Lu Gang knew something about family and cultivation, even though he did not have spiritual roots.

I thought to myself, "If I were young, I would be extremely jealous, but now that I am old, this has nothing to do with me. However, I am very happy that my family has produced outstanding talents."

After taking a closer look at Lu Ping, he said, "He is indeed handsome and a young talent."

Lu Ping said modestly, "I don't deserve it."

"Okay, let's stop reminiscing about the past. You know the purpose of our trip, Lu Gang, right?"

"Of course I know that you two came here for that group of demon monkeys, but now things have changed a little."

"Hmm, what a change."

"Originally, half a month ago, a demon monkey that could cast spells appeared. I reported it to my family, and later I arranged for people to investigate the location of the demon beast, and discovered a new demon monkey."

"Today, our explorers discovered that there are seven demon monkeys."

"My men didn't dare to get any closer, and there were probably more monkeys than could be found."

Lu Gang was not polite either. "I am worried about this matter. Can you two destroy this group of demon monkeys? If not, we have to ask the family for help."

"Seven?"

"Yes."

"This is a bit difficult."

Uncle Jiu frowned, thought to himself and asked Lu Ping , "Ping'er, what do you think?"

"I think I should ask the family for help."

Lu Ping didn't forget the part about the formation in the task reward, and the system prompts that all ten are monsters? It would be great to have two more people.

"Okay, I'll write a letter right away and have Lu Gang arrange for someone to take the letter and report to the family immediately. The two of us will go investigate first."

"It's getting late today. Please send someone to guide us to the monkey group tomorrow. Now, let's arrange two rooms for us to rest."

“As it should be.”

Lu Gang sent someone to arrange two guest rooms and also arranged for someone to ride a horse as fast as possible with a letter to inform the family.

At night, Uncle Jiu and Lu Ping sat together in the guest room .

"Uncle Jiu, what did you write in the letter? Is there any secret message?"

Uncle Jiu did not answer directly but asked back

"Tell me honestly, can you defeat seven petite demon monkeys?"

"I think so."

"Since you have confidence when you just started out, don't I have it too?"

"Uncle Jiu, are you still asking for help?" Lu Ping asked back.

"I didn't call people here for this, but for something else."

"Wild beasts also need spiritual energy to evolve into demon beasts. If there are two or three of them, it is possible for the monkey group to brew spiritual wine."

"But seven of them at once definitely cannot be spiritual wine. The most likely possibility is that the monkey group is in a spiritual vein. This is what I told the family in secret."

"I see."

Uncle Jiu glanced at Lu Ping's robe and said, "You still have the robe, so defense won't be a problem. You and I can help each other, so direct attacks won't be a problem either."

"But be careful in everything, stay alert and be cautious."

"I see."

Day 2

"Goddess, one mile ahead we will reach a fruit forest. That fruit forest is where the monkeys are."

The guide who was speaking had a worried look on his face. He was a guard from Yulin Town.

As for Lu Gang, he stayed in Yuquan Town. After all, he had difficulty walking and it was inconvenient to carry him around. Besides, his presence would be of no help.

Having said that.

Uncle Jiu said to the guard who was leading the way, "Well, you stay here first, and I will go and investigate."

After saying that, he winked at Lu Ping, indicating that Lu Ping should join him.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

When the guard heard this and knew that he didn't have to go with them, he was immediately overjoyed. He knew that several guards had died while investigating. Although this guard was also a good fighter in Yuquan Town, he kept thanking him at this moment. This was the difference in status.

Uncle Jiu didn't care about the guard and set off immediately.

Lu Ping immediately used the Swift Wind Step and the Breath-Containing Technique to catch up.

The two men kept moving forward in secret. After only moving forward more than 300 meters, the uncle and nephew hid behind a pile of rocks and saw that there were now hundreds of monkeys of all sizes staying on the trees on the hillside, playing and frolicking there, occasionally picking fruits to eat, a very pleasant scene.

Suddenly, a demon monkey with yellow fur kicked away a monkey lying on the largest tree.

Uncle Jiu suddenly said, "It seems that the yellow demon monkey is the king of this group of monkeys."

Uncle Jiu looked around the monkey group and asked Lu Ping, "How many demon monkeys did you find?"

This seems to be a test Lu Ping's eyes flickered slightly, and he saw all the spiritual energy sources, big and small, on the forest ground. The detection technique could not release that far, but the spiritual eyes could see it directly. This is the advantage of the spiritual eyes.

"I found that there are three monkeys on the left tree, four on the right, and four on and under the tree where the monkey king is."

Uncle Jiu was startled for a moment and looked at Lu Ping with surprise.

At such a long distance, it was impossible to use any detection techniques. He was able to find out the location of the five demon monkeys only through his experience of foreign adventures.

Uncle Jiu's expression was a little stiff. "Oh, show it to me."

"Where, the white one, the one drinking water"

Uncle Jiu saw what Lu Ping pointed out and after a quick observation, he confirmed that it was indeed a demon monkey.

He looked at Lu Ping again and said nothing. After a while, he just said: "If you can't show off your ability to outsiders, don't show it." After that, he didn't say anything else . Lu Ping smiled and nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, the Monkey King took out a red and green fruit with a slight pattern and swallowed it.

Lu Ping didn't feel anything when he saw this scene, but Uncle Jiu's eyes turned red, and then he took two deep breaths of air.

He murmured to himself, "That's the smell. That's the smell."

"What is this taste?" Lu Ping was a little confused.

Uncle Jiu did not answer. He was thinking about something and suddenly said, "Let's go back to the town to gather the guards and attack the monkey group in the afternoon."

Seeing Uncle Jiu change his mind, Lu Ping's head was full of question marks "?"

"I'll tell you when I get back"

At this time, Lu Ping saw the Monkey King, took out the blue fruit that exuded spiritual energy and swallowed it. This time, Uncle Jiu could no longer bear it.

The red eyes immediately said to Lu Ping: "We can't wait any longer, you and I will take action immediately and kill all these monkey monsters."

Although he said this to Lu Ping, his eyes never left the yellow demon monkey, or rather the fruit in the monkey king's claws.

"Ah, why is that?"

Uncle Jiu quickly explained, "I was wondering why so many of those monkeys became spirits. Even if they had spiritual veins, they shouldn't have died so quickly. It turns out they had spiritual fruits to eat, and they were high-quality spiritual fruits."

"The Jiuzhou Chamber of Commerce sells the blue fruit for 10 spirit stones each, the purple pearl fruit"

When Lu Ping heard this, his breathing became a little rapid.

"We can't wait for our tribesmen or the guards now. According to the way the Monkey King eats, if we wait any longer, the monkey will have eaten all the spiritual fruit. Those are all spiritual stones, and it is worth taking a little risk for the spiritual fruit."

"Besides, ordinary monkeys are nothing to us."

Uncle Jiu's eyes were tearful when he said this . Lu Ping's heart was also burning when he heard Uncle Jiu's words. He immediately stopped hesitating and agreed to Uncle Jiu's proposal.

"Then how do we attack?"
