Novel Full Chapter 423: Wise Rock Monkey
Jiang He, indifferent toward Unknown Fox’s reaction, grinned. “Unknown Fox, do you know the specific coordinates of the Black Demon Star?”
Unknown Fox shook his head. “I have not been there, Master. However, that place is very famous and close to our planetary system, and it should not be difficult to locate it if we could find the general direction.”
Phew!
Jiang He exhaled and smiled. “And here I was worried for a moment that we would have to turn back without finding the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance.”
Seeing that Dumbo, Trumbo, and the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers were having too much fun playing on the moon, Jiang He ignored them.
There was actually no rush to find the Alliance, and the most urgent agenda of the moment is to plant immortal crystals.
After counting the time and noting that the new batch of immortal crystals were almost ripe, Jiang He headed inside his farm in a flash.
Within, the many immortal crystals flickering in immortal lightning dangled on the tip of the crystalline immortal crystal trees. With a wave of Jiang He’s hand, each immortal crystal detached on their own and flew toward him.
[Ding!]
[+10,000 Farm Points]
[Ding!]
[+10,000 Farm Points]
[Ding…]
Incessant System Notifications jingled in his mind.
Soon, he had plucked all the immortal crystals in the farm.
Turning to look at his System Panel, Jiang He found that his Farm Point had exceeded 200 billion, with seas of immortal crystals harvested.
After all, Jiang He had consecutively gathered 510,000 immortal crystals, and each earned him a hundred more immortal crystals as well as a million Farm Points when planted.
And at the moment, he had only planted just around 200,000 immortal crystals.
“Hmmm…”
“This also means that I have around twenty million immortal crystals. That counts as a small fortune, does it not?”
In comparison, the net value of a Golden Immortal such as the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist was just around 500,000 immortal crystals.
Of course, having twenty million immortal crystals did not affect Jiang He’s mental state.
In the end, humans are weird creatures.
You would keep imagine about being rich when you lack money, but your wealth is just a number when you truly become rich.
That was the same for Jiang He too.
Immortal crystals that could be use as seeds were nice, but what good were those that could not be used as seeds?
“Hmmm!”
“Well, it’s not like they are useless since I could use them to bewitch others, or give it to Dumbo and others to help their cultivation if that doesn’t work. It would definitely be effective…”
“And if I get the chance to visit the celestial battlefield, I could use these immortal crystals to buy other immortal crystals… or I could buy mystic treasures, take them home to plant, and strengthen them before reselling them. With this cycle, wouldn’t I earn as many immortal crystals as I want?”
Jiang He’s eyes sparkled at that thought.
This idea… was really doable!
After all, buying immortal crystals with immortal crystals made him appear a little shady!
“Moreover, after my farm levels up, the gains from farming more immortal crystals would definitely decrease. Still, we could find other stuff to earn Farm Points with when the time comes—would I have to be scared that I wouldn’t have the right treasure?”
Jiang He’s brain went into overdrive.
Calling Dumbo to him, he had the dog cast his Earth-type powers and plant another batch of immortal crystals.
“We’re having a grill outside. Want to eat with us later?” Dumbo asked, and skipped away after seeing Jiang He nod.
The corner of Jiang He’s lips twitched unwittingly while he watched the dog leave.
Grilling on the moon…
Only you few could think of it.
Jiang He was about to leave the farm when a curious aura suddenly appeared behind him. He promptly turned and saw that the nine Divine Sky-Mending Stones were shining with divine light after being still for so long.
Indeed, these nine Divine Sky-Mending Stones were the crops that had the longest growth cycle among everything Jiang He had planted so far.
While shining divinely at first, the divine light soon dimmed as the stones continued to grow. Moreover, they had developed into an ugly shape that would look a little misshapen if he dug them out and used them as fake mountains, which was why Jiang He stopped paying attention to them.
He did not expect that it would come back to life today.
Yes, life!
Aside from the blinding divine light, a vague presence of life was slowly awakening in the nine Divine Sky-Mending Stones.
Kaboom!
The nine divine stones shook endlessly and rumbled. Though just ten feet tall, they looked no different from majestic mountains quaking.
Abruptly, each divine stone blew up at once, with nine veins of divine light shining from them before they flew out of the Farm with a whoosh.
“Sh*t!”
Jiang He cursed.
His sight naturally caught the essence of the nine veins of divine light.
Those were nine… newborn monkeys!
At half a meter tall, they were neither too large nor too small.
They had just leapt out of the stones, but they flew rapidly, and Jiang He could clearly feel that their auras were improving rapidly.
[Ding!]
[+100 million Farm Points.]
[Ding!]
[+100 million Farm Points.]
[Ding…]
Nine consecutive System Notifications jingled in Jiang He’s head.
Ignoring all else, Jiang He rushed out of his farm in a flash.
At the same time, aside from Dumbo, Trumbo, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers who were busy with the grill, Unknown Fox, Hu Mei, Boa Hancock, and the other ladies were all looking above with faces filled with shock.
The nine little monkeys stood up in the air, thunderclouds filling the skies over their head.
“Is that the Four Calamities of the Nine Lesser Heavens?”
Jiang He’s gaze shifted, but before the thundercloud even fully formed, the nine little monkeys had destroyed them with ease.
At the same time, their auras rapidly climbed through Golden Pellet, True Child, Yuan Spirit, and Convergence. Soon, more thunderclouds were rolling over the horizon once the nine little monkeys reached Sufferance.
Daemonic Qi swirled around their bodies, and while they were just half a meter tall at first, they were now reaching 1.8 meters and baring their teeth at the thundercloud, revealing their fearsome might in its entirety.
“Impressive!”
Jiang He could not help exclaiming as he came to his senses. “Are those nine mongrels becoming immortal in a single stroke?”
In fact, Jiang He was right.
The nine monkeys were weathering their respective retributions.
But since it took a long time between each thunderbolt of retribution and Jiang He disliked the hassle of waiting, he flicked his finger, tearing the nine thunderclouds apart with a single sword light.
The thunderbolts of retribution hence passing, the nine monkeys’ aura climbed again to full-fledged ninth retribution before rushing up to Mahayana.
Around an hour later…
Boom!
A special aura extended from one of the monkeys then.
An Immortal Dao quickly condensed in its body, followed by a second and a third…
Soon, each of the nine monkeys had condensed an Immortal Dao, which could be considered their first steps into Heavenly Immortal
That was when the nine monkeys all changed forms instantly nine youths, all of them hence descending from the skies.
They looked no different from teenage boys who were around fifteen and sixteen. Their appearances were identical and all of them were wearing silver armor as they knelt before Jiang He and greeted sonorously, “Master!”
“Good, good!”
All smiles, Jiang He beckoned for them to stand, though he soon become worried.
Hmmm…
How was he supposed to tell them apart when they basically looked the same?
Dumbo, Trumbo, as well as Hu Mei, Boa Hancock, Sora, and the seven Fairy Maidens whom Jiang He planted all were used to the oddity and therefore not surprised. Unknown Fox, on the other hand, was gaping as if he had seen a ghost and stammered, “My… My lord… are… are they… Wise Rock Monkeys?”
“What?”
Jiang He did a double take.
Wise Rock Monkeys?
He remembered vaguely from the Journey to the West that there were four Spirit Monkeys.
And Sun Wukong was the Wise Rock Monkey?
There was also the Six-Eared Macaque, Long-Armed Gibbon, and the Red-Bottom Mandrill or whatnot, each of them possessing their godly abilities and were as extraordinary as the next.
Connecting the dots and realizing that the nine monkeys all shared the same origin with Sun Wukong, Jiang He nodded after a blank look and said, “That’s right. They definitely are Wise Rock Monkeys.”
“Impossible!”
Unknown Fox felt as if he was losing his mind and squealed in shock, “Wise Rock Monkey is a spiritual being born out of heaven and earth itself and a thoroughly extraordinary existence! How could nine be born at once?!”
