Pokémon: World of Wonder

Chapter 376 Six Kings Refining Their Body

Opening his eyes, Jiang Ye sprang to his feet with a somersault!

It's like when it rains, it pours! I just escaped one danger only to fall into another! I never imagined this old man was truly up to no good!

First, I patted myself all over. The Rockruff's little shoulder bag was there. The spatial items were there. The Poké Ball was there.

Where's the Pokémon? Jiang Ye shook the Poké Ball. It was there, but the Poké Ball was locked.

Ok?

After checking himself, Jiang Ye looked around at his surroundings. He was on a beach with plastic trash piled up in the sand around him.

Looking to the left, Huang Qiren was lying on his side on a fallen coconut tree, fast asleep with a drunken look on his face.

After stretching his body, Jiang Ye felt as if he had been recharged, his whole body was in a very excited state, and his physical fitness and mental state had improved a lot.

"You little brat, you're really good at causing me trouble. You have such a healthy body, yet you've never been tempered by powerful medicine. Now your little brat has given me a good scolding. Go and explain yourself. I didn't poison you."

Big medicine?

Jiang Ye thought about it and realized that he hadn't really taken any medicine during his training journey. He mostly took energy supplements and hadn't practiced any body-refining techniques.

Suddenly, all the Poké Balls at his waist started shaking incessantly, the uniform rhythm causing Jiang Ye's waist to sway as well. Huang Qiren, who was lying on the coconut tree, burst into laughter upon seeing this.

Jiang Ye took off the Poké Balls and discovered that they were all locked, and the Pokémon inside couldn't get out. Jiang Ye quickly unlocked them.

boom! *7

The moment the door was unlocked, a series of loud banging sounds rang out, and a group of little ones immediately rushed out and surrounded Jiang Ye, nervously watching Huang Qiren on the other side.

Jiang Ye paused for a moment before speaking, "Senior, you must have something to ask me about?"

Huang Qiren shook his head and shouted, "Originally, everything was fine, but now something's happened again!"

……

Although it was a bit inexplicable, considering that he might not be able to beat him or escape, and that Marcia might not, or rather, definitely wouldn't, help him, Jiang Ye decided to ask again.

"Ahem, senior, what is it that you wish to ask of me? If I can do it, I will do my best to repay you for the great medicine you gave me."

Upon hearing Jiang Ye's words, Huang Qiren immediately nodded in agreement, "Hmm~ Well said! You'd better keep your word, kid."

Whoosh!

Jiang Ye reached out and caught it. It turned out to be the gourd that Huang Qiren always carried with him. Jiang Ye looked at Huang Qiren with a strange expression.

In Jiang Ye's view, wasn't this just Huang Qiren's spatial artifact? Why give it to him?

"Ahem! Jiang boy, listen to me carefully, this gourd of wine is finished! I need you to gather the ingredients and brew me another gourd!"

Hmm? This spatial artifact is a wine jug?

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ye asked, "Senior, how big is this wine pot?"

"It's not that big, just nine square meters." As he spoke, Huang Qiren casually picked at his toes, then picked at his nose.

Not big? Nine cubic meters? Can these two words be put together? One cubic meter is one cubic meter, and one cubic meter can hold one ton of water! Nine cubic meters is nine tons of wine! A whole nine tons of wine! And he only drank one cup!

After thinking about it, if he just brewed it casually and made something simple, 9 tons of wine wouldn't be too difficult for Jiang Ye. But if it were all the kind of medicinal wine he drinks... well, let's just say it's not that hard.

"Nine tons? Senior, that's too much! Are there any restrictions on brewing materials?"

Huang Qiren stretched lazily and turned around, saying, "Hmm~, yes, not only is there, but it's also very special, extremely special! However, you don't need to brew wine. You just need to collect the ingredients and someone will brew wine for you."

Only collecting materials, very, very special?

Jiang Ye pondered, "Very, very special? Is it precious?"

"Hey, you've finally hit the nail on the head! This is a rare find, the essence of hundreds of years!" Huang Qiren said, his face showing enjoyment and reminiscence, which made Jiang Ye's face twitch.

"Could you please provide me with a list of materials so I can find them and try to get them to you next year?"

Huang Qiren pointed his index finger at Jiang Ye and said, "From the moment you get the first ingredient, you only have 30 days, which means..."

Huang Qiren thought for a moment, then continued, "That means you must deliver the brewed wine, along with the gourd, to me by the end of October at the latest."

Although Jiang Ye still had a smile on his face, his eyes had turned into dead fish eyes. Was this Huang Qiren taking advantage of his age to act like an old man?

If he said he only slept for one day, then today is October 1st. He brewed 9 tons of wine in a month using very, very special and precious materials. Do you think he's a sucker?

"Hehe, senior, I really can't do it. Please find someone more capable. I'll be leaving now."

Huang Qiren leaned against a coconut tree with his hands behind his head and said smugly, "You can't leave~ If you come into this area without my permission, you'll be riddled with bullets if you leave."

Jiang Ye was about to leave when he heard Huang Qiren's words and stopped, taking out Hongbao from his pocket. "Hongbao, where are we now?"

"Master, based on our location changes from last night until now, we should now be on Fire Island in the Six Kings Islands. Master, you are truly amazing! You were able to land on the Six Kings Islands, and becoming a member of the Yellow Flame Alliance is just around the corner."

Snapped!

I don't know what Hongbao has learned every time she connects to the internet, but lately she's become increasingly good at flattery, and she even chooses public occasions for it.

Although Jiang Ye is a direct descendant of the Alliance, the Six Kings Islands are essentially a sect with outer disciples, inner disciples, and personal disciples. He is just an inner disciple, and even personal disciples are not necessarily allowed to enter.

Jiang Ye barged in, already with one foot in the grave!

"What exactly do you want me to do!" Jiang Ye snapped angrily.

Seeing Jiang Ye charge forward, Huang Qiren dropped his pretense, flipped over, and stood opposite Jiang Ye, saying, "My goal is simple! Each island in the Six Kings Islands has a royal clan, and I want you to defeat their king according to the rules!"

"As for brewing wine, it's just a bonus that comes along with the victory!"

You want me to go and die?

"I already told you, it's the rules! They won't kill you. Even if you fail, it'll just be a few scratches."

"Why!"

Brushing the dust off his back, Huang Qiren said nonchalantly, "I won't hide it from you! When I was young, I was so engrossed in my cultivation that I've been alone all these years. In order to pass on my mantle, I've sought out a lot of disciples, far too many, but none of them are qualified!"

"Only three caught my eye, but after passing the Six Kings Body Refinement, none of them were willing to continue their studies. As for you! You're ruthless and vicious! That's the kind of drive I want!"

"One month! Once you've passed the Six Kings Body Refinement, I'll give you all my skills, whether you want them or not!"

"Can't get past this... Hmph!"
