Chapter 9: Fifty Years of Cultivation Ends with Transcendence; Sun and Yuan Descend the Mountain

  At first, Sun Yuan was overjoyed when he encountered this situation, thinking that he had finally completed his transformation and could rush to a higher level of demon pill. However, who would have thought that good things come to those who wait, Sun Yuan still clearly remembered that the first time his body automatically absorbed spiritual energy, after an hour of excitement, Sun Yuan woke up, only to find that this feeling had disappeared.

  He thought it was just an accidental Sun Yuan, although he was a little worried in his heart, but he didn't take it seriously. However, as the cultivation progressed, the characteristic of autonomous absorption of spiritual energy disappeared one after another, and Sun Yuan finally understood that he had failed to transform successfully.

  It turns out that after many experiments, Sun Yuan found that the time it takes for the body to automatically absorb spiritual energy after cultivation is not fixed, with the longest being no more than an hour and the shortest only a few minutes. At this moment, the body is absorbing spiritual energy as usual, but Sun Yuan's heart has become completely calm, and can be described as waveless and uneventful.

  As the saying goes, "With a heart to plant flowers, they will not bloom; without intention, willows will grow into shade." An hour later, Sun Yuan was shocked to find that his body was still absorbing spiritual energy. Although the amount of absorption had decreased significantly compared to the beginning, the key point was that it had already exceeded an hour. At this moment, Sun Yuan's heart couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

  Time flies second by second, Sun Yuan's eyes are fixed on the changes in his body, he is afraid that this is another special case, so he dare not have too much hope, but in his heart, there is a thread of expectation, this feeling is exactly the same as when he checked his college entrance exam results years ago, only to be disappointed by the result at that time, and now he has no idea what the outcome will be!

  Half an hour passed again, and Sun Yuan's body still didn't change much, still slowly inhaling the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. At this time, Sun Yuan was already sweating profusely.

  Another half hour passed, and Sun Yuan's body was still slowly inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy. At this moment, a thought surged up in Sun Yuan's heart - could it be that he had really reached the realm of transformation?

  With a strange feeling, Sun Yuan cautiously moved around, afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would lose this feeling. It was possible that Sun Yuan's cultivation had really reached home, and the result was not as bad as he had imagined. Until the sound of Long Mao's voice came from outside, the feeling in Sun Yuan's body still hadn't dissipated, and he could clearly sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth constantly surging into his body through every pore.

  At this time, Sun Yuan's heart had actually put down, if all of this marked his cultivation was successful, then everything would be natural and there was nothing to be excited about. If it was just a coincidence, then he could continue to work hard afterwards. After more than 100 years, wasn't there still plenty of opportunity for him to cultivate?

  Sun Yuan opened the stone gate with a relieved heart, welcoming his old friend Chang Mao. The two monkeys met and tacitly patted each other once before Chang Mao started circling around Sun Yuan.

  "Hmm, Huang Hou, it's been several months since we last met. How did you become even more bizarre? This shape looks familiar to me?" Chang Mao said as he turned around.

  "Monkey grandfather, is this the Second Grand King? Why does he look so similar to the Grand King? They both walk on two legs!" The group of little monkeys had seen the legendary figure, and at first, they were somewhat disappointed because he didn't look as powerful as the legend said. They felt a sense of disillusionment with their idol. However, when they discovered that Sun Yuan walked on two legs, the curiosity of the little monkeys was suddenly piqued again.

  "It's true, they didn't say that I hadn't discovered it yet. Now that you mention it, I can see it clearly - your current form is exactly the same as when the Great King was born! If I hadn't been watching you transform all along, I really wouldn't have dared to recognize you."

  "It's hard to say, what brings you here today? If there's nothing important, let's not go down the mountain today. You and I are brothers, we'll get drunk together! It's been a long time since I've had a drink! The dozens of jars of old wine in the back mountain are still buried underground!" Sun Yuan stopped the constantly rotating long hair, and let the crowd of monkeys enter the cave.

  "What's wrong, don't you need to cultivate anymore? It's rare that you actually have time to drink wine?"

  "Hehe, I've recently made a breakthrough in my cultivation and I'm feeling quite excited. Who knows, maybe I'll even accompany you down the mountain to have some fun. It's been a while since I've seen the King, is he doing well?" Sun Yuan felt his body and discovered that he was still autonomously absorbing spiritual energy, suddenly becoming extremely happy. It seemed that he had indeed entered the realm of transformation.

  "It's still not that way, carefree in the world! If I had to say, our Flower Fruit Mountain has only two people who are most happy, one is the Great King and the other is you. Every day without worries or troubles, unlike us, each person has a family to support." Long Mao followed Sun Yuan into the cave, looked around for a moment and said "This place of yours is still the same, not changed at all."

  "Come, sit here." Sun Yuan led the long-haired monkey to a chair on one side and said to the little monkeys who were curiously looking around in the mountain cave, "Little monkeys, it's rare for you to come up this time. Take a look around the top of the mountain. The scenery of Huaguo Mountain is extraordinary from here."

  "Oh, thank you Second Master." The group of little monkeys cheered and suddenly dispersed in a hurry.

  A group of little monkeys, after getting Sun Yuan's permission, suddenly started playing all over the mountain top. Most of them were born in the last ten years and had never had a chance to come up here because the mountain top was occupied by Sun Yuan. This was a major regret in their monkey lives, but now they had the opportunity to make up for it, so they played with all their might.

  "Alright, old friend, don't you know me yet? What is it that we can't talk about?" Sun Yuan sat across from Long Mao, picked up a wine jug and said "If I'm not mistaken, this is your favorite, there's nothing important going on, why would you bring it to visit an old friend like me?"

  "Hmph, it's still you who's clever. This time I came here first to take a look at you, and secondly, to get you to persuade that old rascal Tong Mao to come around." Long Mao said with hatred in his voice.

  "Oh, what's going on with you two again? You didn't get beaten up by him again, did you?"

  "Beat me? Are you kidding? I didn't beat him, he should be grateful. It's just the younger generation's wedding, this rascal can't win against me, so he's been holding back his anger all along. Usually, I let it go, but now he's venting his frustration on the younger ones' heads. How can I, as an elder, not intervene?" Long Hair Zhang shouted with a stern expression.

  "Is that all? Haha, alright then. Let's have a drink first, and afterwards I'll take you down the mountain. It's been a while since we've had a gathering with the king, so let's take this opportunity to settle your affairs together!" Sun Yuan laughed loudly.

  "Indeed, a good friend! Come on, let's drink this barrel of monkey wine I brought. This is a hundred-year-old vintage, and I wouldn't normally give it to just anyone." The long-haired man showed great joy, immediately snatched the wine barrel from Sun Yuan's hands, grabbed several coconut shells, poured them out, and drank them down in one go. As a result, nine-tenths of the wine ended up in his own belly.
