Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Monkey Wine
The Peach Blossom Valley at this time seemed exceptionally quiet, with only the occasional demon monkey leaping playfully towards the outskirts.
They all immense psychological pressure on Lin Shiming.
Luckily, the group of demon monkeys clearly had a weak ability to sense divine consciousness, which was why Lin Shiming had not been discovered for a long time.
But as he surveyed the area, Lin Shiming always felt something eerie. The second-rank peak red-haired great demon monkey lying there seemed somewhat unsteady,
as if it were drunk.
Yet its spirit might was full, and its hostility surged to the skies.
"Eh, that bamboo tube!" Lin Shiming suddenly noticed a detail; the red-haired demon monkey was actually holding a bamboo tube to its mouth.
Shaking its head and swaying its body, it was enjoying itself!
This is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
How was this not just like his Uncle Thirteen?
Were these monkeys drinking?
The idea sent a shock through Lin Shiming's heart, monkeys drinking alcohol—could you even imagine it?
No wonder their sensitivity to divine consciousness had weakened so much.
His divine sense had been released in front of these demon monkeys without being detected.
Lin Shiming continued to expand his divine sense and observed the other demon monkeys. At last, he found that on the branches where the other monkeys were, there were also bamboo tubes, although clearly much smaller than the one the red-haired demon monkey had.
Furthermore, Lin Shiming discovered empty tree holes at the intersections of those Spirit Peach Trees.
The larger Spirit Peach Trees had more hollowed-out spots, especially that intermediate-grade, second-rank Spirit Peach Tree, which had no less than seven.
"Monkey Wine!" The term popped into Lin Shiming's mind and refused to leave.
This group of demon monkeys was actually brewing Monkey Wine, and the raw material was probably those spiritual peaches.
With the demon monkeys' strong abilities and ghostly agility, possessing the valor to uproot mountains, it was estimated that the Monkey Wine also had extraordinary effects.
If the Lin Family grasped the method of making this spiritual wine, not to mention the boost it would give to the strength of the family cultivators, just selling the wine alone would bring considerable profits to the Lin Family.
Especially since the Qingxuan Sect was set to sell Foundation Establishment Pills three years later—if the Lin Family seized this opportunity, they would certainly rise to another level!
His father would also firmly secure his place as a candidate for Foundation Establishment within the family.
Upon considering this, Lin Shiming wished he could instantly return to Fangmu Mountain to bring people and level Peach Blossom Valley.
After completing his exploration, Lin Shiming also harbored thoughts of retreat, but before doing so, his divine sense once again swept across an empty tree hole where the occupant demon monkey was clearly absent.
"Stealing the wine?" A thought suddenly surfaced in Lin Shiming's mind, and it started to persist.
Yet the next moment he startled himself with his own bold idea.
Stealing wine from within such a large troop of monkeys was undoubtedly like pulling chestnuts out of the fire.
Nevertheless, Lin Shiming didn't believe there was no chance; his biggest trump card was the two superior-grade, second-rank Spirit Talismans he possessed, one offensive and one defensive. Most importantly, he could perform Sword Flight, and even though the demon monkeys were exceptionally fierce, they were powerless against Lin Shiming soaring through the sky.
Moreover, he didn't need to fight; these demon monkeys didn't react very sensitively to the outside world.
MOST importantly, having confirmed the presence of spiritual wine, he could also persuade the family elders to send more cultivators.
"Let's give the Invisibility Talisman a try!" Lin Shiming ultimately decided to make an attempt.
Lin Shiming took out a completely white Spirit Talisman from his Storage Ring—the sole special Spirit Talisman he had, the Invisibility Talisman.
This kind of Invisibility Talisman was actually somewhat useless to cultivators; after all, it only faded one's appearance, which was easily seen through by any cultivator with divine sense.
And its biggest problem was that one couldn't release magic power or engage in magical combat while using it!
Only in special situations like this could it unleash amazing effects.
With a slap of the Spirit Talisman, Lin Shiming's figure faded away from the void.
Then he stepped out from behind a green peach tree that had concealed him and followed a path with fewer Spirit Peach Trees and demon monkeys, secretly making his way to the location of the empty tree hole.
He quickly climbed up to the empty tree hole.
The fragrance of the spiritual wine was extremely potent; it clearly tasted better than the Green Spirit Wine of the Lin Family and was richer in spiritual energy.
Lin Shiming scooped up a bit with his hand and took a sip; a surge of abundant spiritual energy burst forth, and he felt that the wine was also healing some of his hidden injuries.
The elation in Lin Shiming's heart grew even stronger; the spiritual wine not only had the effect of increasing spiritual power but also could heal wounds!
Perhaps that was also the reason this group of demon monkeys had dominated Peach Blossom Valley.
A troop of monkeys unafraid of injury was frightening to imagine!
If the Lin Family possessed this wine, the losses of the Lin Family's Demon Hunting Team could probably be reduced by more than half.
"Take it!" Without hesitation, Lin Shiming took out a Magic Artifact Jade Bottle, used for storing Spirit Water.
He began frantically to cast the storage spell into the tree hole.
At this moment, time was not money, time was life!
One breath, two breaths, three breaths! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Once Lin Shiming could no longer contain it, he put away the Jade Bottle!
Although this series of actions was extensive, in fact, it all happened in less than five breaths' time!
After taking the spiritual wine, Lin Shiming did not hesitate and rode his Green Spirit Sword, shooting straight up into the sky.
Behind him, countless demon monkeys started to roar, but Lin Shiming had already flown into the high sky,
disappearing into the horizon...
