Douluo's Bacchus

Chapter 60 The Old Spirit Monkey's Request

"The Fountain of Youth was left by Dr. Liu, Xiaohu, you have inherited Dr. Liu's medical skills, and you can be regarded as the descendant of Dr. Liu. Although everyone can only drink the Fountain of Youth once, I believe that with your ingenuity, This problem can definitely be solved, so you should have a share of the Fountain of Youth here." The old Lingming monkey took a breath and said slowly.

Having seen the magic of the Fountain of Youth, no one knows how precious the Fountain of Youth is, but the old spirit monkey is willing to give such a precious Fountain of Youth to Chen Hu, but Chen Hu dare not accept such a gift.

The old Lingming monkey was willing to use a mouthful of spring water to revive him, and he was also willing to lend him the two medical books left by Liu Aqi to borrow. In addition to the soul ring and soul bone of Baboon Vajra, what Chen Hu got was already huge. Given the opportunity, what excuse does Chen Hu have to accept the gift from the old spirit monkey?
The old Lingming monkey seemed to see through Chen Hu's thoughts, and said: "Don't refuse in a hurry, the old man is willing to give you the Fountain of Youth, and you can even take away the flowers of Yin and Yang, but I also have a few requests, I hope you You can promise me."

Chen Hudao: "Grandpa Hou, just open your mouth, as long as I can do it, I will go through fire and water."

"Aren't you going to listen to my request before making a decision?" Old Lingming Monkey asked with a smile in his eyes.

Chen Hu smiled shyly, and said: "I know Grandpa Hou won't embarrass me. And to be honest, if Grandpa Hou doesn't have anything for me to do, I'm too embarrassed to accept such an expensive gift from Grandpa Hou. Not to mention How precious are the yin and yang double life flowers in heaven and hell, and the value of the fountain of youth that gathers the two celestial products of yin and yang and immortality is far from what I can estimate. If I don’t have to pay anything, I can’t hold these things securely .”

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. If you receive favors from others, you must be rewarded!
This is Chen Hu's belief as a human being. The Yin and Yang Flower and the Fountain of Youth are too tempting to him. Chen Hu is unwilling to give up these two treasures, but he is also unwilling to accept the gift of the old spirit monkey for nothing.

"Good boy, I really didn't misread you!" The old spirit monkey nodded in satisfaction, and said, "In that case, then I will speak directly, Xiaohu, how long do you think I can live? Doctor, you should understand my situation, and directly state your judgment without any shyness."

Chen Hu frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth, "Grandpa Hou, to be honest, your current physical condition is very bad. If you can't improve to a higher level, you should not live for 100 years!"

The old Lingming monkey shook his head with a smile, and said: "You boy, you are still playing sloppy with me to this point. I don't know my own physical condition, old man? If it weren't for the old man, I would be worried, and I would not die for a long time. Now I am afraid that the grass on the grave is three feet high. Let alone 100 years, I am afraid that it will be ten years, and the old man may not be able to persist."

A trace of sadness flashed in Xiao Qi's eyes, and he said, "Grandpa, you will surely live a long life, you haven't watched me grow up yet!"

The old spirit monkey lovingly touched Xiao Qi's golden hair, shook his head lightly, exuded a heavy twilight spirit, and said: "The lifespan of the spirit monkey family is actually not long. About five thousand years old, only people who have cultivated to the realm of ten thousand year soul beasts can break the limit of lifespan and live to about ten thousand years old. But, old man, I have lived for more than 3 years. But by this time, I have already run out of fuel, and I am about to die soon."

"When I was young, I ate the immortal peach by mistake, and gained a long lifespan. I, who was stupid, relied on the medicinal power of the immortal peach to cultivate to the level of a ten-thousand-year soul beast. I will wait until the next time the immortal peach matures, and extend my life again. Just thinking about it like this Like the old tortoise, I have been lingering on. At first it was because I was afraid of death, and later it was because I didn't dare to die. I was afraid that after I died, without the protection of the ten-thousand-year soul beast, the rest of our Lingming monkey clan would be wiped out. Let the Lingming Monkey Clan completely disappear from this world."

Chen Hu always thought that all ten-thousand-year soul beasts have been cultivated for 1 years, and all 10-year-old soul beasts have lived for more than 10 years. In fact, he fell into a misunderstanding.

On the mainland, the number of ten thousand year soul beasts that have lived for more than ten thousand years is very small. Similarly, a 10 year soul beast may not necessarily have lived for 10 years.

The so-called grades of soul beasts are not actually divided according to the age of the soul beasts, but according to the cultivation level of the soul beasts.

Theoretically, a most common soul beast can have ten thousand years of cultivation and become a ten thousand year soul beast after cultivating for 1 years.

However, almost none of the soul beasts that can truly become ten thousand years survived through age, and the lifespan of soul beasts is not unlimited. Although most soul beasts have a longer lifespan than ordinary people, the length is quite limited , it is absolutely impossible to easily live for tens of thousands of years.

Just like the innate soul power of human soul masters, the qualifications of soul beasts are also different. Some soul beasts with noble backgrounds can be compared to ordinary soul beasts for decades or even hundreds of years after one year of cultivation, plus the effects of some medicinal herbs and spirit fruits. , these soul beasts can even grow up quickly, and it may only take a thousand years to become a ten thousand year soul beast.

Living fossils like the old spirit monkey that lived for 3 years are very rare even in the world of soul beasts.

The old spirit monkey is not wrong either, with the help of the king of fairy goods like the immortal pantao, it took more than 3 years to become a 5-year soul beast, and the qualifications of the old spirit monkey are indeed mediocre.

Chen Hu asked: "Grandpa Hou, why don't you use the Fountain of Immortality to prolong your life for hundreds of years? Maybe you can wait until the next time the peach of immortality matures!"

The old Lingming monkey shook his head and said: "It's useless, most of the reason why the Fountain of Youth can prolong the life of the user is because of the effect of the immortal peach, and the immortal peach is of no use to the old man. In the past 3 years, I have taken the Unold Pantao more than once, and my body has been completely immune to the Unold Pantao.”

The old Lingming monkey paused, introduced a topic, and said, "Let's not talk about this nonsense, Xiaohu, now let me talk about my request."

Chen Hu said: "Grandpa Hou, please tell me!"

The old Lingming monkey said: "I have three requests, which also correspond to the three gifts I want to give you."

"Three gifts? The Fountain of Youth and the Flower of Yin and Yang are already the best gifts in the world. Grandpa Hou, don't waste your money. If you have these two things, let alone three requests, even ten or a hundred are nothing more. Points." Although he was a little curious about the third gift in the mouth of the old Lingming monkey, Chen Hu still refused.

There was a kind smile on the old spirit monkey's old face, and said: "Hehe, don't worry, I can't get the third gift now, listen to my request first!"

"The first request, I hope you can pass on your saber skills to my people. The biggest weakness of our spirit monkey clan is that we have no combat skills, and our combat power is quite weak compared to soul beasts of the same level. Look, although it is very complicated, it can be obtained through acquired practice, and the power it displays is quite good, which can well make up for the shortcomings of the lack of combat power of the Lingming Monkey Clan."

"No problem." Chen Hu agreed without hesitation, even if the old Lingming monkey didn't say anything, Chen Hu used his own skills to repay the kindness of the Lingming monkey clan for him when he saw Xiao Qi perform a stick technique similar to his own saber technique. Kind thoughts.

Chen Hu continued: "Grandpa Hou, in fact, Dr. Liu has been trying to solve the shortcoming of the spirit monkey clan's lack of combat power in his later years, and he almost succeeded in the end. You should have seen the acupuncture technique I performed today Well, this is Dr. Liu's last gift to you. Although Dr. Liu's acupuncture technique still has certain flaws, it can also make up for the lack of fighting power of the Lingming Monkey Clan. At that time, we will add sword skills , the fighting power of the Lingming monkey will definitely have a qualitative leap, not to mention becoming a top-level soul beast, but it will not be the weakest among the soul beasts."

Acupuncture is the last secret technique Liu Aqi researched, but unfortunately he left too hastily, and died in a hurry without sorting out the complete Acupuncture, which resulted in the secret technique of Acupuncture not being spread among the spirit monkeys open.

When Chen Hu was reading the medical books left by Liu Aqi, combined with Liu Aqi's own notes, he sorted out this secret technique, and it happened to be a gift for the Lingming Monkey Clan.

"Doctor Liu is a good person, but it's a pity that his heart died a long time ago, and he has been stuck in his heart all his life. He left before the moment when the fountain of youth was formed. What a pity!" The young man couldn't help but sighed.

The betrayal of his brother in the same school finally made him feel ashamed, and he never came out.

Chen Hudao: "Grandpa Hou, go ahead and talk about your second request. Even if you don't say the first request, I will do the same."

The old Lingming monkey nodded, looked at Xiao Qi beside him, and said, "The second request is about the child Xiao Qi."

"Xiaoqi, what's wrong with him?" Chen Hu asked puzzled.

The old Lingming monkey said: "Xiao Qi has been smart since he was a child. His parents left soon after giving birth to him, leaving him alone and growing up by my side. If there is no accident, In the future, after I die, Xiaoqi will inherit my position and become the leader and guardian of the spirit monkey clan."

"However, I've changed my mind now. Xiaoqi has a lively personality and is full of curiosity about all new things. It's too unfair for him to be trapped in this small valley all his life!"

Xiao Qi said: "Grandpa, I'm fine, it's always been my dream to be able to protect the peace of the village."

"Don't talk yet, listen to me." For Xiao Qi who interrupted him, the old Lingming monkey reprimanded him angrily, and stated his final purpose:

"I hope you can take Xiaoqi out of this valley and live in human society!"

"What?" Chen Hu, who has always been mature and stable, couldn't help but startled, and after a while, he solemnly refused: "I'm sorry, Grandpa Hou, I may not be able to agree to this request."
