465: Chapter 353 465: Chapter 353 He didn’t rush to meet the monkey, nor did he rush to use his Divine Sense to probe.
He didn’t believe that a Demonic Beast capable of magic and Flying Through the Heavens and Earth could just fly away under his nose.
The Monkey King flew away, aren’t these monkeys his good friends?
With the leader gone, the monks may leave but the temple remains; even if all the monkeys here leave, there is still that cave.
Just by entering it, he would know.
“Alright, if you want to drink wine, then take a bamboo container from the monkeys!”
The containers Jiang Tang’s monkeys used to hold wine weren’t pottery jars.
They were made of bamboo, and the wine in the bamboo had a scent of bamboo combined with the sweet fragrance of fruit, definitely worth a taste.
Wine that monkeys could drink shouldn’t contain any special drugs, right?
But whether there were drugs in it or not, he didn’t care.
As long as his space contained the Vitality Flower, he could detoxify even a million poisons, and he was very confident in this.
Presumably, the people around him also thought of this, hence their curiosity about the monkeys’ wine, wanting to taste it for themselves.
He didn’t think that drinking monkey saliva or wine brewed by monkeys was unclean.
Sometimes thinking too much meant missing out on delicious food.
With a flick of Jiang Tang’s sleeve, he stole two bamboo containers of fruit wine from the monkeys’ feast.
This was his use of the spell to take objects from afar, a technique so stealthy it went unnoticed by gods or spirits.
Two bamboo containers of wine were placed on the table, and the girls cheered up, taking turns pouring drinks for everyone.
Jiang Tang had already taken out some white jade cups from the space, made from stones in the Spatial Lake, perfect for drinking water or wine.
The wine from the bamboo was poured into eleven white jade cups.
Although not yet fully poured, the girl with the bamboo container felt that there wasn’t much wine left inside it.
Everyone picked up their cups, seeing the somewhat red color of the fruit wine in the white jade cups and the wine fragrance that was even more alluring up close.
Jiang Tang smelled the fragrant wine and took a light sip to taste it, feeling a sweetness amidst the fragrance, a rich fruity flavor.
The girls also picked up their cups, initially hesitant to drink.
However, the sweet fragrance enticed them, and they couldn’t resist tasting it out of curiosity.
The girls who had sipped the wine felt that this fruit wine was very suitable for them.
The Dugu brothers tasted the wine and commented,
“Jiang Tang, although this fruit wine is quite fragrant and its brewing technique might be impressive, I feel that it doesn’t compare to your wine.”
The girls also nodded in agreement, acknowledging that while the wine was sweet and enjoyable, it didn’t have as many uses as the wine associated with Jiang Tang.
How could Jiang Tang not know this?
This was just ordinary wine, devoid of Spiritual Energy.
Maybe it was related to the fruit; the trees were not Spiritual Fruit Trees, so naturally, the wine brewed wasn’t Spiritual Wine.
Jiang Tang was particularly curious.
In a place devoid of Spiritual Energy, being able to cultivate the Four Season Water Trees was indeed a testament to the monkeys’ cleverness.
In his previous life’s place, this would definitely count as the finest scenery, a tourist haven.
Finding such a Peach Blossom Cave in the mountains was absolutely unexpected by people.
Maybe it was the unique feature of the heavy fog that made this place undiscoverable, allowing the monkeys to claim it entirely for themselves, an ideal habitat for animals.
In the Cultivation World, people might not value fruits without Spiritual Energy, but after all, there are mortals and animals that are not Demonic Beasts with their humble ways of survival.
“Ha, who am I, I wonder!”
Jiang Tang said proudly, straying from the usual conversational tone.
However, everyone has another side to them.
Comparing a Great Power Holder to a monkey was indeed inappropriate.
The girls all laughed, each eating fruit and drinking the wine, reveling in the freshness of the fruit.
In fact, without Spiritual Energy, simply savoring the flavor was quite delightful.
Bananas ripen naturally on the tree, and together with several other fruits, they had grown tired of rice and meat these past few days.
Today’s fruit meal, while not filling, was of no concern to them, as their cultivations were already so high.
Soon, the two bamboo tubes of wine were finished, and they began to think about the wine on Jiang Tang’s person.
It was unknown why Jiang Tang had so many items, yet within the Cultivation World, it was rare for someone to have so many Storage Bags and Storage Magical Treasures.
The volume of the materials carried was quite large, which was understandable; Jiang Tang could keep producing Supreme Elixirs and other resources without end.
One thing they found strange was that, despite always being at his side, they had never seen him perform Alchemy—how was he able to keep supplying others with Supreme Elixirs?
Everyone genuinely thought that perhaps Jiang Tang made them inside his Magical Treasure.
Having become a Great Power Holder, maybe he could use Divine Sense to perform Alchemy inside a Magical Treasure.
Their speculation was only partially correct; no one would have guessed that Jiang Tang was using Avatars to accomplish tasks, and not just one Avatar at that.
Like their family, they too had an ancestor who was a Great Power Holder, but this ancestor was always in seclusion and would not impart their skills to the younger generation.
They had also secretly relayed their speculation to the highest ruler of their family during the time they spent by Jiang Tang’s side.
The Dugu brothers had always been onlookers—after all, there was food and drink, and they had a share in any windfalls.
They never felt any shame in following along and did not think their actions were shameful.
The life of a Cultivator is one that defies the heavens, and many people would do anything to be able to cultivate and advance.
Murdering for treasure was something only those who were willing to take extreme risks would do.
Typical family missions did not yield much profit, which these people looked down upon.
Like their other siblings, the Dugu brothers cultivated using a unique method, nourishing worms with their own blood essence.
Their abilities were ordinary, and progress was slow.
To have reached his current level of Cultivation, he was already the elite of the elite within their family.
Since meeting Jiang Tang, their former pride had dissipated, no longer feeling it was appropriate to be proud.
Their former arrogance seemed like a joke.
Finding themselves under such a bright halo of a lightbulb, they decided to follow Jiang Tang on his adventures.
This period truly made them realize what was worth being proud of, what was omnipotent.
It was as if their previous selves had been frogs at the bottom of a well.
The Cultivation World was so vast, and they were fortunate to follow their leader on his exploits.
Since recognizing the rightness of their decision to stay by Jiang Tang’s side, they decided they would not return to their family, but instead continue to grow stronger with their leader.
Eryao, in the spatial domain, saw them eating so happily and, somewhat disdainfully, asked Jiang Tang to send some fruit inside for it to try.
It washed the fruit repeatedly, thinking this was a place where monkeys often climbed, and naturally, the fruit wouldn’t be clean.
Eryao neglected the fact that its master was a Great Power Holder and the ordinary Cultivators around him could purify anything with a single Purification Magic—nothing would remain dirty.
Eryao took a bite of the peach and spat it out, discarding the fruit entirely.
“This tastes terrible.
Seeing how much you’re enjoying it, has the master’s taste gone downhill?”
It’s no surprise Eryao would say such a thing, for if it wished, it could plant any type of fruit tree in the spatial domain and harvest quickly.
The space hadn’t been planted with many fruit trees because the best plots of land were reserved for the more valuable Spirit Grass.
Jiang Tang, upon hearing Eryao speak this way, just smiled, understanding the pet’s perspective.
His wine was made from ordinary fruits.
If people knew he had Longevity Fruit, would they really besiege him to rob and kill for it?
He had already let slip many secrets; he could not allow these to get out, even to a potential future companion.
Jiang Tang felt it best to keep secrets hidden as long as possible, especially since he carried a soul from another world.
If someone found out his weakness, they might target him specifically.
The dangers he harbored must never be revealed.
Jiang Tang did not arrogantly believe that with his abilities, numerous powerful Magical Treasures, and Avatars, he had become unmatched in the Cultivation World.
If there truly were something that made others unite to attack him, he would be more than just a street rat; he definitely did not want such events to unfold.
The Monkey King was one example—he became an Immortal, but was then sealed for tens of thousands of years.
One can imagine the cost of being besieged by Immortals, the toll was far too harsh.
