151: Catch the Golden Monkey

The Golden Monkey's fur was shining, and it was only 1.2 meters tall.

Squatting on a treetop, it looked like a small ball, but Xiao Qingyuan dared not underestimate it.

Last time, his Frozen Handprint had no effect on it at all, and its pure metal-attributed magical power was incredibly powerful.

Xiao Qingyuan didn't plan to confront it head-on; a sneak attack was the way to go.

He exchanged a glance with Duobao Rat, and Duobao Rat immediately understood, quietly disappearing.

The Duobao Rat went to steal the monkey wine.

Xiao Qingyuan, on the other hand, activated the Five Elements Escape Technique.

He fled in the direction of the Golden Monkey.

Ten thousand meters, a thousand meters, a hundred meters... Xiao Qingyuan fully activated his Qi concealing technique, continuously closing the distance.

Even as he fully began to gather strength, the Golden Monkey remained completely unaware.

It wasn't until the Golden Monkey's expression suddenly changed, and it turned its head to look into its Immortal Cave.

A fist, carrying a violent gust of wind, suddenly appeared behind it, smashing fiercely towards the Golden Monkey.

Boom—!

Feeling the movement behind it, the Golden Monkey suddenly shrieked, only able to hastily raise its fist to counterattack.

Whoosh—!

"Boom crack!"

A large and a small fist collided violently, and the sound of bones breaking rang out.

The large tree beneath the Golden Monkey was invisibly affected, shattering into splinters, followed by a small patch of forest suddenly forming a hemispherical void. Even the ground was pressed into a depression by the Qi wave.

"Squeak!"

Upon seeing the attacker, a human-like look of astonishment flashed across the Golden Monkey's face, followed by a tragic cry.

The next second, its figure suddenly flew backward, transforming into a streak of light that shot away, finally crashing heavily into a mountain wall several thousand meters away, like a baseball that had been hit, embedding itself deeply with a whoosh.

Along the way, it left a vertical scratch mark.

Countless large trees were uprooted.

The earth trembled, startling a large flock of birds.

"Refreshing!"

The changes brought by Body Refining surprised him.

Xiao Qingyuan clenched his fist. The Golden Monkey, which he couldn't defeat before, now lost half its life with a single punch.

His Divine Sense firmly locked onto the Golden Monkey inside the mountain.

He saw it pinned under rubble, golden blood overflowing from its mouth, and its right arm hanging limply, twisted unnaturally.

It had been broken by his punch.

Xiao Qingyuan conjured his Magical Artifact sword and quickly moved forward, just as he was about to press his advantage.

The Golden Monkey suddenly looked up.

Its eyes were filled with fury, and then, from its eyes, two golden lights suddenly shot out, rapidly heading towards him.

Xiao Qingyuan's heart suddenly tightened. This move, once unleashed,

made his hair stand on end instantly, and his scalp tingled.

"Not good!"

In the nick of time, Xiao Qingyuan frantically conjured the Magical Artifacts he had confiscated, one after another.

More than a dozen Nirvana Pearls were also rapidly detonated.

However, it was useless. The golden lights were like two divine Sharp Weapons that could penetrate anything, rushing straight towards Xiao Qingyuan without any hindrance, instantly piercing his chest, and finally flying straight into the distance.

No one knew how far they penetrated.

Duobao Rat, loaded with spoils from the Immortal Cave, was caught off guard by this sight upon emerging.

The sky had fallen.

It had underestimated the Golden Monkey's Bloodline, and it hadn't expected that the seemingly invincible Xiao Qingyuan would be on the verge of death in the Yellow Springs in the blink of an eye.

Didn't that mean it would also be implicated and die?

"Squeak!"

Duobao Rat was so frightened that it fell directly to the ground, quietly awaiting the arrival of death.

However, a moment later, as footsteps gradually approached, it felt something poke its head.

It sadly pawed twice with its small claws.

However, that annoying finger poked its belly again.

Duobao Rat suddenly snapped back to reality. A finger?

It quickly opened its eyes and saw Xiao Qingyuan, holding the exhausted and unconscious Golden Monkey in his left hand, looking at it with confusion.

From head to toe, he was completely unharmed; even his clothes were perfectly intact.

It was as if he hadn't just been through a major battle, but rather had just warmed up.

Duobao Rat's face was filled with astonishment, and it couldn't help but exclaim, "You're alright?"

Xiao Qingyuan chuckled, "It's all thanks to the Standing Without Shadow you taught me. The information was directly understood, otherwise, I would have really been in trouble this time."

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyuan also felt a lingering fear.

Just in the nick of time, he instinctively activated his spiritual eyes, wanting to freeze the rapidly approaching golden light.

But it had no effect whatsoever.

Just as he truly fell into despair, he felt a warmth in his eyes.

An unknown fundamental Dao automatically began to operate.

At that moment, he only felt the entire world slow down.

He instinctively activated the Standing Without Shadow technique, and the position of his heart in his chest instantly virtualized and disappeared for a moment at the critical juncture.

To onlookers, it appeared as if he had been suddenly pierced through the chest by the Golden Monkey's golden light.

In reality, he had narrowly dodged the attack.

Xiao Qingyuan was both surprised and delighted, but when he tried to use Standing Without Shadow again, he couldn't find that feeling he had experienced during the life-and-death crisis.

Upon hearing this, Duobao Rat stood up with a whoosh, its face full of astonishment as it looked at him, as if he were a monster: "You mean you're not only alright? But you also learned Standing Without Shadow?"

Xiao Qingyuan nodded, annoyed, "I didn't completely learn it. I can't use it again later!"

"This..." Duobao Rat's small head was filled with great confusion, and the look in its eyes towards Xiao Qingyuan had completely changed.

This person... definitely contained the noble Bloodline of its Heavenly Eye Duobao Rat race; there was no doubt about it.

Xiao Qingyuan, he really is my good brother, Duobao Rat!

Duobao Rat excitedly burrowed back into his arms with a whoosh, poking out its small head and squeaking:

"Hahahaha, it's okay, it's okay. Maybe you, my good friend, are like me, and can only use this move once a day. Try again tomorrow, maybe you'll be able to use it again?"

Xiao Qingyuan was also very happy to hear that.

The man and the Duobao Rat quickly cleared out the surrounding medicinal herbs and spiritual objects. Duobao Rat even sucked the second-grade spiritual peach, along with a large area of surrounding spiritual soil, into its belly.

Xiao Qingyuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

He, on the other hand, affixed the second-grade Spirit Sealing Talisman, which he had just finished drawing these past two days, firmly sealing the Golden Monkey.

He then put it into an empty Spirit Beast Bag.

It was all about leaving no stone unturned.

The man and the Duobao Rat then quickly disappeared... as night fell.

Xiao Qingyuan was hiding in a cave a thousand meters underground, organizing his gains.

Today, his enthusiasm for hunting Yao Beasts was not high.

There was a considerable amount of monkey wine, enough to fill half a pool seven or eight meters in diameter and five meters deep.

Xiao Qingyuan drank a jin of it and felt so drunk he could barely stand.

Even using magical power to dissolve it was useless.

His heart sank.

If he was like this,

Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators would probably get so drunk they'd pass out for a month or two after just one or two cups of this wine.

Although the effect was good, it was several grades better than the best second-grade spiritual wine on the market.

Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators who drank it for the first time would 100% be able to advance one minor Realm, and long-term consumption even had Body Refining effects.

Even he, drinking more of it, could greatly improve his cultivation, filling him with Qi and blood, and sweeping away all fatigue.

The jin of monkey wine he just drank had already quickly helped him consolidate his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Realm.

The value of each jar was already comparable to a Five Elements spiritual object!

The value was very high, but it was useless for Haitang's situation.

Xiao Qingyuan had to obtain treasures that could allow Haitang to Breakthrough Qi Refining Stage Level 11, or refine several Dragon-Tiger Golden Pills, in the shortest possible time, and then quickly return.

He would hand over the resources and Foundation Establishment Pills to Haitang, allowing her to Breakthrough the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He also needed to quickly upgrade the Netherworld Banner to third-grade to curse Yin Zhisen to death.

Finally, he had to try his best to find a way to completely separate Yin Zhisen's death from the Xiao Family.

Xiao Qingyuan narrowed his eyes: "The best way is to lure Yin Zhisen into the Demon Beast Mountain Range, let him fight with a Golden Core Demon Beast, and even secretly kill one or two Golden Core Demon Beasts is fine.

Make it look like they both perished together.

There's profit to be made!"

A hint of madness flashed through Xiao Qingyuan's heart.

"Anyway, it's a tightrope walk. If I fail, I die. Danger and difficulty are no different from a dangerous nightmare."

"If it succeeds, great wealth and status await."

"If it fails, the whole family attends a funeral."

"Let's do it!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Qingyuan had no choice but to turn his attention to the Divine Ability of Instant Hundred Li.

Whether his plan would succeed depended on whether he could find a way to prevent the Golden Core from catching up...!!!
