Chapter 164
There are still ten days until I leave.
Suddenly, spiritual vortexes began to swirl around the tents at the foot of the mountain, one after another, densely packed, eventually converging to form a giant spiritual cocoon that sealed off a ten-meter radius around the tents. Thunderclouds even gathered in the void.
Soon, movement arose from the depths of the forest; a dense mass of faces appeared at the forest entrance, huddled together.
"Fu is undergoing tribulation! She's actually undergoing tribulation in our half-beast realm! She's human, how could the Beast God allow a human to undergo tribulation in the half-beast realm?" Beast was shocked; this was somewhat illogical.
“Fu is a dimensional merchant, protected by the rules of the dimensional plane, so it’s normal for the Beast God to allow her to undergo tribulation.”
"These mysterious humans, the dimensional merchants, must be able to travel across the entire True God plane, right?"
"Perhaps, she has transcended the mortal realm and is different from us."
"Only the main meridian remains in her body; this is the realm of transcending the mortal realm."
...
There were many sounds around me, rustling and whispering, clear and distinct, as if I could understand them, yet also as if I couldn't.
Fu Le felt as if her soul had left her body and was floating in the air. She tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't.
Where am I? Who am I? Who is speaking? What are they saying? Could you please speak louder?
Unseen by Fu Le, a bright red pill appeared in his dantian at some unknown time. Upon closer inspection, flame patterns could be seen on the surface of the pill.
At this moment, the pill was spinning rapidly, and countless streams of spiritual energy from the outside world entered her main meridian. After being purified from the main meridian, a milky white thread was drawn out and flowed into the pill like water.
The situation continued, and a hundred feet above the giant cocoon, dark clouds loomed overhead, growing ever darker, and the sky grew gloomy.
The beasts all looked up at the sky, their knees trembling under the oppressive force. Some of the beasts with lower cultivation levels lay prostrate on the ground, unable to lift their heads.
"Fu Le!!! What have you been doing?!" A childish voice echoed clearly in my ears from the depths of my soul.
Fu Le: !!!
Who is it?
She couldn't speak, couldn't open her eyes, and was completely unable to respond!
'I am a time machine! I'll ask you questions; you can answer them in your mind, without saying them aloud!'
"Holy crap, the shuttle, it can talk!!" Fu Le was so shocked he went crazy.
"The energy in these isotopes is very strong; I used them to repair the control panel. You still haven't explained what happened to you, and you've already triggered a dimensional tribulation?! Did your cultivation technique allow you to transcend your mortal form?!!"
"This, I don't know either. This is a lightning tribulation at the fifth level of the Spirit Realm. All high-level Spirit Realm cultivators on the Spirit Realm Continent have this. Could it be that it's different?"
"Take it back!! Take it back!! Fu Le! You idiot!! You're a time-space smuggler, you've attracted the attention of the Heavenly Dao, you're courting death!! Ugh, I'm so angry!! Disperse your spiritual energy right now!! We need to leave immediately!!" The shuttle was like a jumping child, shouting and yelling deep within Fu Le's soul, making her feel pain all over.
"Don't shout! Explain yourself! How did I become a time traveler? Heaven, take note! Will I die?" Fu Le was terrified. Could her rebirth have been stolen?
Shuttle: ...
"You are the one I stole. There are ninety-nine small worlds on Earth. You died in your original small world, so I brought you through a parallel universe to your current world to relive your life. I really didn't expect that you would cause so much trouble after being reborn. You actually cultivated your skills to the Transcendent Realm. What are you doing? I can't contact the main system at all. I can't protect you anymore..." The shuttle's voice was dejected and weak.
"What do you mean? Don't tell me you're running away now and I can't get back?!" Fu Le exclaimed in shock.
If this thing runs away, wouldn't she be stuck in the orc territory forever?
No, she can't go back. What will happen to his parents? With so much property, they'll be devoured alive!
"Run my ass, where am I supposed to run to?! I've come all this way for nothing. The tribulation lightning is coming down, I have to protect myself first. You should take care of yourself too. If you survive, it means the Heavenly Dao has acknowledged you. If you die, I will also leave this realm and wait in a daze for a chance to wake up again and find a host. Sigh... I've really been ruined by you. Good luck to you..." After saying this, she fell silent.
Fu Le's drowsy mind cleared up at this moment, and he tried to enter the shuttle, but found that he could not get in.
Holy crap!!
She was rejected by the shuttle. "Shuttle, shuttle, don't go... Ahhhhh..."
Boom!!
A bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket and a dazzling purple color, struck down from the sky, hitting the top of the giant cocoon precisely and instantly soaking into Fu Le's entire body.
"Ah..." A scream came from the depths of Fu Le's soul. Regardless of her physical condition, her soul had been shattered inside and out. The pain was indescribable. In short, she wished she could die on the spot rather than suffer like this.
The onlookers: !!!
What kind of lightning is this? Such immense pressure!
The beasts with lower cultivation levels fainted and were taken to the deep forest by the higher-level beasts. The beasts closest to the center of the lightning, regardless of their cultivation level, all fainted.
"What a powerful tribulation lightning! Is this the tribulation lightning of the interdimensional merchant? It's too ruthless."
"This is far more terrifying than the clan leader's tribulation lightning."
"With the Beast God protecting her, the clan leader managed to withstand the attack. That's amazing; she didn't die."
"She's protected by the Heavenly Dao, isn't she more powerful than our Beast God?"
"Shh, don't speak of the Beast God like that, it's blasphemy."
...
Boom!!
Rumble!!!
As Fu Leteng's consciousness faded, in her daze, she seemed to see cracks appear in the dantian of her body, which were then repaired by something, only to crack again and be repaired again, in an endless cycle. On it, beautiful flame-shaped grooves were carved as if by a knife.
What's going on?
It hurts so much, am I going to die? There's no going back... It's said that before a person dies, they can look back on their life. Why can't she see it...?
He died again.
Boom...
"Fu Le, Fu Le, hang in there a little longer, it's almost over, Fu Le..." There was a pleasant scent of grass in the air, and a familiar male voice was speaking to her. Who could it be?
"Fu Le, Lele... wake up, come back to me... Lele... I miss you so much... I'm waiting for you..."
Who is it? A tear slid down the scorched corner of the eye, like a water knife, breaking through the charred shell and revealing the snow-white and lustrous skin inside.
"I'm leaving... Lele... hurry, I can't wait any longer..." The scent of grass at the corner of her nose grew fainter and fainter, making Fu Le panic. She wanted him to stay, to tell her who he was, but...
"Don't go, don't go... don't go... ah!!"
When the Monkey King arrived with his troop, what they saw was a thick, purple lightning bolt striking the giant cocoon.
"Your Majesty, this noodle merchant will die here, we're too late." The monkey servant looked at the scene before him with regret. No beast could withstand such a tribulation lightning, let alone a weak human.
It's such a pity that so many spirit seeds are gone now.
The Monkey King stared anxiously ahead, his red eyes wide open. He was furious. He was too late. All those spirit fruit seeds were gone. If he had known he was going to die, he would have given them to the Monkey King. That way, they would have remembered him well. What hypocritical humans, so stingy and greedy.
"Your Majesty, once the lightning has finished striking, let's be the first to rush over and check. Maybe not all of her storage devices have been destroyed."
"You're right, just wait!" The monkey servant's words eased the monkey king's distress slightly.
When the last bolt of purple lightning struck, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky returned to its original blue sky and white clouds. However, the giant cocoon remained in its original shape, and spiritual energy continued to flow back rapidly.
As if by prior arrangement, all the beasts flew toward the giant cocoon, with the Monkey King being the fastest.
Boom!!
Bang bang bang bang! ! ! !
The monkey king, who was running at the front, and several high-ranking elders of the beast race were all blasted away by a burst of energy and scattered in all directions.
"My God, she's not dead!! So strong!!! Let's get out of here before we're discovered!" One of the beast elders reacted immediately and quickly retreated, not wanting the plane merchant to wake up and come after them, since they had just been trying to pick up the bargains.
"Your Majesty, are you alright? This noodle merchant doesn't seem to be dead, what should we do?"
"What do we do? Wait for her to wake up and exchange for supplies?! How stupid!"
"Hurry, hurry!!"
Visibly, much of the spiritual energy around the giant cocoon dissipated. Gradually, the cocoon thinned and shrank. Before long, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a long black feather dress appeared in the sight of the beasts.
hiss……
All around were gasps of breath.
Her long hair, which reached her heels, shortened to her waist as she opened her eyes. Beneath the scissors, her fiery red eyes swept over the beasts, seemingly carrying rolling heavenly thunder and fire, causing the beasts in the front row to take several steps back.
Fu Le looked down at the dress she was wearing with satisfaction. The black feather skirt was edged with openwork gold thread, and the dress was embroidered with a golden Kui bird, whose feathers and beak were lifelike.
Just now, when the cocoon dissipated, she suddenly realized that she was naked again. She hurriedly grabbed some clothes and found this robe. She didn't expect it to look so good on her, exuding an indescribable noble and elegant air.
Satisfied, he straightened his sleeves before looking at the other beasts.
"Monkey King, you've finally arrived." Her spiritual power at the fifth level of the Spirit Realm was enough for her to roam freely across this continent.
After shedding her mortal form, she could see the cultivation levels of all the beasts. Perhaps because the beasts here didn't like to fight, their cultivation levels weren't very high. The highest was the Monkey King in front of her, a fourth-level Spirit Realm cultivator. He used to be able to fight her to a draw, but now she could ignore everything about him.
Monkey King: ...
When the Monkey King met Fu Le's fiery red eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Had his little scheme been seen through?
"Do you want to exchange for spirit fruit seeds?"
Huh, didn't you notice? Luckily, she looks really strong now; he might not be her match.
"How many kinds of spirit fruit trees do you have? I want a hundred seeds of each kind."
How many kinds? Fu Le frowned. A thousand? Or ten thousand? She bought up all the seeds she could, sweeping up all the seed shops.
"Let's say 1,500 kinds, 100 of each, that's 150,000, that's about right."
150,000 tons of monkey wine, hmm, that's enough to drink.
"They'll all be exchanged for monkey wine."
Fu Le: ...
"I want more elixir," Fu Le said unhappily.
The Monkey King frowned. "The spiritual liquid is precious. I can exchange it for one hundred catties of it."
"Try it first," Fu Le said, as she had never actually tried it before.
This time, the Monkey King did not refuse. He took out a plant-based cup about the size of a thumb, poured a small cup, and handed it to Fu Le.
Fu Le took the emerald green spiritual liquid. It smelled good and was full of spiritual energy. He gulped it down. Mmm, the taste was really good, much better than monkey wine.
"This is also wine?"
"That's right, there are more monkey pills inside. We use them for cultivation, so they are very precious." One monkey pill can only be boiled into two tons of spiritual liquid. It takes three years to boil it once. Now, hundreds of years have passed, and the monkey clan's spiritual liquid production is not much, but a lot has been consumed. A small portion is also traded outside, so there is really not much left, less than five hundred tons.
Among the monkeys are the Dan monkeys, which are monkeys with special physiques suitable for cultivation. They are supported by the clan and can form a core once they enter the Spirit Realm. They can grow two cores for each level they advance. If they do not advance, they need to cultivate arduously to condense a core. They will force out a monkey core for the monkey clan to brew spiritual liquid. Although it is painful, it is their mission.
"I need two hundred tons of spiritual liquid."
"Impossible!!" The Monkey King's face instantly darkened.
It's almost half of their inventory; it's probably a dream come true.
"I'll give you two hundred thousand spirit fruits. With these, your monkey wine will taste just like the one I let you taste before. The abundance of spiritual energy will be almost the same as your spirit liquid. Compared to the rarity of spirit liquid, monkey wine is much easier to obtain and more suitable for the monkey race's cultivation, isn't it? After all, the monkey core requires sacrifice. As the Monkey King, don't you feel sorry for your people?"
Upon hearing this, the Monkey King fell silent.
If monkey wine can replace the elixir, why should the monkeys sacrifice themselves and suffer a lifetime of pain?
"Monkey King, how about this? I'm willing to exchange one thousand tons of my monkey wine for you at a ratio of one to one hundred, just to fulfill our destiny. This is out of respect for my companion beast, the little prince." Fu Le threw out the bait again.
"Really?" The Monkey King was somewhat shaken. A thousand tons of high-purity monkey wine, with spiritual energy comparable to spiritual liquid, was equivalent to gaining another thousand tons of spiritual liquid reserves. That was not bad.
After pondering for a moment, the Monkey King agreed. After a series of transactions, it took a whole day to complete the exchange.
Upon receiving the elixir, Fu Le pursed his lips, suppressing a smile, as if afraid the Monkey King would discover something.
These spiritual liquids are somewhat different from monkey wine; they are purer, have more spiritual energy, and taste better.
Two hundred tons, enough for her to drink for a hundred years.
"Fu Le, you're truly remarkable! You actually overcame the brink of death and gained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao. Hahaha... I really didn't choose the wrong host, amazing!!"
