A fierce battle broke out, involving a fierce black bear monster, roughly at the martial arts master level. Ma Yue, relying on his impressive artistic conception attacks, gradually took the lead in the battle.
Lingma and Wangcai were no pushovers either. Three against one, the several-foot-tall black bear was already covered in wounds. The bear was incredibly tough, and even when struck by the spiritual energy, it only scratched a few fur, leaving no bones or muscles injured. However, the constant bleeding was unbearable for the black bear.
Seeing that he was facing this villain's nimble movements and sharp attacks, he basically had no chance of victory. The monster had cultivated to the level of a martial artist, so of course it was not stupid. He should just run away.
He was tall and ran very fast, with the spirit horse chasing him closely. He ran into a large forest, which was full of big trees, so even the spirit horse could not keep up with the speed.
Ma Yue, sitting on the back of the spirit horse, decided to give up. He patted the spirit horse's head and said, "Let's go back."
"Woo woo..." Wangcai still had some opinions.
"Alright, I know you have a keen nose, so if you're willing to track me down, that's fine." Since there wasn't anything important going on right now, I just wanted to relax. It had been ages since I'd fought a cultivator, and after a fierce battle with a demon beast, I felt a lot more refreshed.
It's said that cultivators are all belligerent. A fierce battle can consume a certain amount of impurities in the body. The fact that Bao Dazhuang could feel it so clearly indicated that there were already quite a few impurities in his body. Perhaps the so-called spiritual wine produced by Shenshan was not made with great craftsmanship, and there were too many impurities.
The purity of a cultivator's spirit wine must be at least 30% to meet the minimum standard. However, in this primitive world, such a high standard is unrealistic. The cultivator's spirit wine, elixir recipes, and the like are the accumulated experience of generations of cultivators. The process of continuous experimentation and improvement is very arduous and precious.
Is there such a legacy in this era? It would be great if I could roughly figure out the recipe for the spirit wine, right?
Wangcai led the way, while Ma Yue continued to explore on his spirit horse. The black bear had escaped, but it inevitably left its scent along the way, which was exactly what Wangcai was good at.
Ma Yue’s estimate was correct. Since the black bear could go to the river to fish, its den was probably not too far from the river.
The black bear is very depressed. He has already run away, but you are still not done?
Running away is no good. What if they catch up? Fight! What if I can't win? I have to run. The poor black bear abandoned his den and began the long journey away from home.
What kind of cave is this? There's an entrance on this side, but the black bear actually escaped through the other side.
"Shh!" The spirit horse was excited. There were so many fruit trees on this side of the cave entrance. Was this guy's original nest also on the Spirit Fruit Island? What's wrong with liking to eat fruit? Especially when it comes to spiritual fruit.
Is this Flower-Fruit Mountain? There are many fruit trees and monkeys. It seems... the monkeys here are all intelligent, a group of demon monkeys. However, their cultivation is very low, and the leader is not even at the martial arts master level.
The monkeys probably like having the black bear, a martial artist-level monster, as their neighbor. So when two martial artist-level monsters (Lingma and Wangcai) suddenly showed up, the monkeys didn't seem to panic.
Ma Yue picked a spiritual fruit. It was quite good, much more spiritual than the fruits on Spiritual Fruit Island, and contained more spiritual energy. Even cultivators didn't eat many spiritual fruits. After eating two spiritual fruits, Ma Yue felt very comfortable. Eating more probably wouldn't be of much use.
It’s just like an ordinary person, after having a full meal, he doesn’t want to eat anymore.
If it was just a spiritual fruit, Ma Yue would not be so excited. The spiritual fruit might have some effect on cultivation, but not that great.
Wangcai seems to be still moving forward. What is this guy looking for?
Ma Yue followed curiously.
This huge pit is... could it be fruit wine? Rumor has it that intelligent monkeys are born with the ability to make wine, so monkey wine is not fake.
"Slurp!" The spirit horse also took a big sip with its big tongue, looking intoxicated.
This is actually fruit wine! Ma Yue drank a glass, which was very similar to the fruit wine in his previous life. It was good stuff. Although there was not much spiritual energy in this fruit wine, it was still wine after all.
After coming to this world, Ma Yue’s biggest regret is that he has no wine to drink. No matter how delicious the seafood tastes, without wine, it is the biggest regret in life.
"Squeak..." Many monkeys were very dissatisfied. Ma Yue took out several large jars from the space bag and greedily collected the fruit wine.
"Don't be so stingy. You have a huge pit of fruit wine, and you don't need this little bit from me, haha!" Ma Yue said shamelessly.
"Look, I have a lot of fruits here, but you don't have any." Ma Yue did store a lot of fruits in the space bag. Eating fruits is good for one's status.
The space bag has a large storage space, and can store a lot of fruits, including grapes, pineapples, and some unknown fruits. As long as they taste good, that's fine.
In order to express his apology, he gave many fruits to the monkeys. Many of them were specialties of Lingguo Island, and some also contained spiritual energy fluctuations.
The monkeys curiously took the various new varieties of fruit, and their protests against Ma Yue were indeed much less intense. "We're not taking them for free, so let's consider it an exchange, right?"
Ma Yue was not afraid of these monkeys, but he was worried that these monkeys who could make wine would run away if they got unhappy. Then who would continue to make wine?
"Would you like some dried meat?" Some space bags and jars contained dried meat. It didn't matter. As long as I could win over these monkeys, I would be willing to give it up. After all, you must give in order to gain.
"Squeak..." The monkeys were thrilled by the salty dried meat, and they looked at Ma Yue with much friendlier eyes. Every animal needs salt. War horses can't run without regular saltwater, and monkeys are no exception. Where in the world can animals find salt? Especially these monkeys who have lived here forever.
I see, these monkeys crave salt more than fruit.
"Squeak..." The old monkey in the lead, probably the leader. After eating some dried meat, the old monkey pointed in another direction. Ma Yue followed and saw another huge wine pit. These monkeys loved making wine.
"I understand. Next time, I'll come and exchange this salty food with you."
"Squeak!" The clever old monkey probably understood what Ma Yue meant and was very happy.
The dried meat in the jar was cleaned out, and Ma Yue filled two more jars of fruit wine in the wine pit.
Huh? The fruit wine in this pit seems a bit stronger. Good! A high alcohol content is good. Too low an alcohol content isn't satisfying.
Ma Yue suddenly had an idea and took out some sweet potatoes, potatoes, onions, peanuts, radishes, etc. from the space bag.
The old monkey's eyes became brighter and brighter. He tasted each one of them and was very excited when he tasted the peanuts.
Do monkeys eat peanuts? Ma Yue wasn't sure, but perhaps the monkeys liked them.
The old monkey led one direction after another, and Ma Yue followed the old monkey through a narrow crevice in the mountain. Sure enough, there was a big wine pit inside.
Ma Yue tasted it. The alcohol content of beer in his previous life wasn't measured in alcohol, but in maltose. Ma Yue estimated that it was roughly the same as beer. This was real alcohol.
Ma Yue poured out all the peanuts in the space bag and gave them to the old monkey, who was very happy.
