Chapter 90: Monkey Mountain

  In the Taishou Mansion, Chu Hao had finished a sumptuous lunch and then came to a courtyard specially prepared for several people.

  Tomorrow, Chu Hao will set out, and the time left for him is not much, only tonight. Now he can only pray that the demon beast has not been discovered by other cultivators, and he can smoothly kill it to obtain its inner elixir.

  Standing in the courtyard, Chu Hao asked Chen Honghong: "What is the level of spiritual energy here?"

  "If my intuition is correct, that blessed land filled with spiritual energy should be not far from this city." Chen Honghong fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking up, saying: "And it's absolutely a lower-grade blessed land of the 39th rank!"

  "In the vicinity, there is only one Monkey Mountain, with a dense forest inside, and the mountain valley is uneven, extending to unknown places. If Luo Sheng City has a monster appearing, it should be on that mountain, and the place of good fortune, should also be there without a doubt." Chu Hao's face became determined, saying: "I will definitely get that blessed land!"

  Chen Honghong's voice was solemn: "You shouldn't be too careless either. If that demon beast is really as Li Jie said, you might be able to kill it with the help of Hunyuan Ding, but what if that kid didn't tell the truth before he died? At that time, not only will you not get any benefits, your life won't even be guaranteed."

  Chu Hao thought for a moment and also felt that this matter couldn't be easily confirmed, after all, Lijie was cunning and had many tricks up his sleeve. He had even understated the number of low-grade spirit stones. If Chu Hao hadn't released the Hunyuan Cauldron with lightning speed, Lijie might have escaped using the remaining御空符 (Air Escape Symbol).

  At that time, his only reliance was the Hunyuan Ding. If he couldn't catch up to Lie Jie, then when he returned to the Purple Cloud Sect, he would definitely be hunted down by the sect! Because a Hunyuan Ding-level artifact had appeared in the world, the Purple Cloud Sect would definitely take action, even if it meant going back on their promise to Tao Ranju.

  After all, killing Lie Jie and others was a far cry from the situation when facing Lu Ruhua. This time, Chu Hao had exposed the entire Huoyuan Ding.

  Chu Hao nodded and said, "It's better to be cautious. Since you can feel this spiritual energy, those stinky cow noses from the Purple Cloud Sect should also be able to sense it. A 39th-grade spiritual energy blessed land is already quite good in this world. There's no reason they would send out a few junior disciples for training."

  "You stinky brat, are you trying to rival me?!" Chen Honghong angrily said: "This method of sensing the spiritual energy is my master's unparalleled technique. I am a vessel spirit, residing within the Hunyuan Cauldron, this omnipotent spiritual treasure that surpasses all others. How could those junior Golden Elixirs possibly compare to me? You say they can sense the existence of the blessed land? This is simply an insult to me!"

  Chu Hao heard this and felt a surge of joy in his heart, then inexplicably said: "I don't know these reasons either, just say it properly, why get so angry!"

  Chen Hong hummed and said, "Does your tongue hurt?"

  "There's still some left." Chu Hao saw Chen Honghong change the subject and also smiled slightly.

  "You dare to be so reckless and arrogant, now you're getting what's coming to you."

  Chu Hao hastily severed his connection with Chen Honghong. This kid must have been suffocated in the Hunyuan Cauldron for two thousand years, and he seemed extremely dissatisfied with himself and Lin Yueer's good relationship, always inserting a few sentences, it was truly inexplicable.

  However, Chu Hao did not know that although he had put Lijie and others into the space of Hunyuan Ding, he had not thoroughly cleaned up the aftermath. The yellow paper that Lijie had given to Limao earlier was made from special materials by the Li family's secret method, and although it had not been stained with Limao's blood in the end, it had been stained with Lijie's blood when he died miserably under Hunyuan Ding.

  That thing, not only has a connection with Lijie, but also with the ancestral temple's soul-gathering yellow banner. At the moment of Lijie's death, his fresh blood splattered onto the yellow paper, and it won't be long before the Li family knows about Lijie's death and location.

  It's been just two and a half days so far.

  Chu Hao didn't waste any time, after staying in the yard for a while, he took out his storage bag and looked at the materials inside. He found that refining some of the better medicinal pellets was quite difficult, but if he wanted to refine ordinary healing salves and such, it wouldn't be a problem. Liu Li and the others were all martial artists, so these things were still necessary to refine.

  So one afternoon, Chu Hao was refining in the room prepared by Tai Shou. He had now almost reached the second stage of human product quality and was also familiar with Zi Long Huo and Hun Yuan Ding, so he wouldn't make too much noise.

  A bottle of "Muscle Cream", a bottle of "Detox Pill", and the materials in the storage bag were almost used up. Chu Hao put these two bottles into the storage bag, preparing to give the "Muscle Cream" to Lin Yue'er, while the remaining bottle was to be handed over to Liu Li.

  If Lijie's spirit is in heaven, he will surely rise up and scold Chu Hao fiercely. This kid has brought shame to the family! Those materials were what he obtained as a reward from the sect, preparing to find an alchemist to refine 3rd or 4th grade pills for him when breaking through to the Pre-Heaven stage, but they were all wasted by Chu Hao. Of course, these materials are far from complete, if Chu Hao knew they were used to refine 3rd or even 4th grade pills, he would truly sneer at them.

  At dinner, Chu Hao deliberately asked the officials at the table if there had been any strange or unusual events in Luosheng City recently. This question really hit the nail on the head, and at first, Taishou and others were evasive, fearing to leave a bad impression, but under Chu Hao's continuous questioning, they finally spoke out.

  It turned out that the Monkey Mountain outside Luo Sheng City had been experiencing a series of bizarre events, where many hunters and local residents mysteriously disappeared on the mountain. The governor of Luo Sheng City had sent soldiers to investigate, but each time they returned empty-handed. However, since the number of missing people was not too high, the governor did not take it seriously and eventually told the city guard to stop investigating after a few checks.

  At this moment, Chu Hao asked, and the governor thought that Chu Hao knew something, so he said it out with a big sweat. Finally, he solemnly promised to thoroughly investigate the matter, and Luo Sheng City was as clear as a mirror, with a bright and clean sky.

  Chu Hao had a plan in mind, and after exchanging a few words with the governor, he dispersed the guests and personally delivered dinner to Lin Yue's room. At this moment, the bottle of "Muscle Dew" was naturally placed on his body, and his face was thick enough to use it as an excuse to make amends for the chest attack that night.

  Not long after entering Lin Yue'er's room, Chu Hao shamelessly forced a kiss on her, and was subsequently chased out by the enraged Lin Yue'er with a sword. After licking his wounds outside the room, this shameless scoundrel surprisingly felt elated and returned to his own room in high spirits.

  To go and slay the demonic beast, Chu Hao's current preparations are far from sufficient, but there is no other way. Along this road, they are under the watchful eyes of many people, and without materials, his trump card for tonight is only the Yu Kong symbol and the Hun Yuan Ding.

  To be honest, if Hunyuan Ding can't even kill the demon beast, he can only choose to use the Yikong symbol to escape. After all, if you can't even save your life, what's the point of repairing the Hunyuan Ding? It's better to leave a clear mountain behind.

  Night was falling over the entire Luosheng City. Chu Hao waited in his room for a while, and Xiao Si came knocking on the door. In the afternoon, Chu Hao had instructed Xiao Si and Huang Hongjin to go shopping in Luosheng City and buy some things back, including this conical hat and a gray warrior suit.

  Xiao Si didn't know what Xiao Wangye was thinking of doing again, but he had gotten used to Chu Hao's eccentricity. After handing over the clothes to Chu Hao, he left and went to sleep in the adjacent wing room.

  He closed the door. Chu Hao released his divine sense, and after confirming that there was no one around, he put on the warrior's attire and the bamboo hat, then placed the storage bag at his waistband. At this moment, unless it was someone familiar with him, nobody could recognize that he was the Crown Prince of Weiyuan.

  Chu Hao thought for a moment, and after a while, he slowly pushed open the door.

  Liu Li and others did not cultivate in the Taishou Mansion, at this moment the entire mansion was extremely quiet, Chu Hao flicked the Yu Kong symbol, and then merged into the night color, and then flew towards the distant Houzi Mountain.

  Lingyu's usage was not unfamiliar to Chu Hao, at this moment he flew through the air with ease, quite skilled, in less than a minute, he had left the bustling city of Luosheng and arrived under the Monkey Mountain.

  This Yu Kong symbol was made by Zhu Ji Gao Shou, but it can only be used three times, and each time cannot exceed one minute. Chu Hao has already fallen down, which means he has used it once.

  Tonight, without the moon, the entire outline of Monkey Mountain looks like a crouching beast, with its continuous mountain ridges forming a whole, as if it will rise and fall at any time, giving people a strange feeling. Chu Hao didn't know why this place was named Monkey Mountain, could it be that there are many monkeys on top, and the monster is the monkey king?

  Chu Hao concealed his own aura and followed Chen Honghong's hint, walking towards that spiritual land.

  It wasn't long before the road on the mountain became even steeper and more difficult to walk, and the density of the forest increased. In the dimly lit dense forest, if you're not careful, you might trip and fall.

  Chu Hao was a martial artist who had only cultivated his skin, but he hadn't practiced any techniques to make his eyes sharp enough to see in the dark, so he could only proceed with caution and feel his way through the darkness.

  Of course, whether this Monkey Mountain really has many monkeys or not, Chu Hao is still unclear. Until now, he hasn't encountered a single one yet.

  It was precisely because of his caution that he made almost no sound, like a cat, and after walking for about half an hour, he finally heard the voices of several people coming from the flat ground on the next mountain ridge, seemingly discussing something.

  Chu Hao's mind stirred, and Chen Honghong hastily reminded: "There are two post-heavenly great perfection martial artists inside, as well as three martial artists who have refined their skin to the ninth layer. You must be careful not to be discovered by them."

  He nodded slightly, Chu Hao held his breath and quietly approached, pushing aside a horizontal branch that had come from the front, and saw five people on the empty ground.

  He was far away, his internal force circulated to the top of his eyes. Although it is said that the eyes are the most vulnerable place, Chu Hao only used 30% of his acquired energy and could see clearly in the dark night.

  These five people, surprisingly, were dressed exactly like Lie Jie and the others. A young man with a shaved head sat on a stone on the ground, while the other three surrounded a tall and robust martial artist in the middle, coldly smiling and saying something. Chu Hao leaned his ear to listen, and heard one of the three people say:

  "......Where did you put it? Don't think that just because you're Second Brother, we won't dare do anything to you. We found that thing together, and you're doing this, betraying our trust, it's like you don't even take our Eldest Brother seriously!"
