Chapter 43 The Little Monkey, 72 Transformations
Chapter 43 The Little Monkey, 72 Transformations
The willow spirit was quiet for a while, then suddenly its willow branch fell and touched the water in the bucket, instantly turning the water a bright green.
Lu Sheng heard a voice again.
"I hope you can go far enough."
"Also, don't water it anymore."
Lu Sheng grinned broadly, revealing his large teeth. He wisely stopped what he was doing, picked up the bucket, and walked towards the vegetable garden, replying as he did so:
"OK, OK, I will try my best not to fall behind. I'm going to find the elixir now. I'll take a bath in the cauldron every day and eventually become a medicine god."
The large cauldron in Shicun is also very special; it has an extraordinary effect when used for medicinal baths.
The children in Stone Village are stronger than the previous generation because they have collected the precious blood elixir for bathing.
The old patriarch also possessed several pill formulas, treasures that even the most revered beings in this realm coveted.
This is the ancestral land of the Stone Clan in the lower realm, and there are many good things here.
The fatal flaw is that the lineage of how to cultivate oneself has been lost.
The old clan chief and other elders knew this, so they often sighed, feeling that they had delayed the children of Shicun.
The old clan chief led the group out to find a path for spiritual cultivation.
After a difficult journey, they barely managed to obtain the bone script that Lu Sheng and Shi Hao had been learning.
It's too difficult to get a village that has been out of practice for many years to start learning again.
The emergence of two outliers, Shi Hao and Lu Sheng, was already enough to delight the old patriarch.
Shi Hao is a prodigy among teenagers; his talent is unparalleled.
As an adult soul, Lu Sheng had at least completed a university education in his previous life, so embarking on the path of cultivation was not a problem.
Education is an important thing in any organized system.
After a while, Shi Hao also came to the willow tree, hoping that the Willow God could awaken his memories from when he was just born.
Liu Shen then told Shi Hao to cultivate for another two years, as his physical body was not strong enough.
At the same time, it will also enter a period of slumber.
Protecting Ishimura and healing Little Red Sparrow had drained too much of its power.
After a period of rest, Lu Sheng unfurled his Thunder Wings, and Shi Hao rode the Great Azure Scaled Eagle to explore this devastated territory.
As expected, the land was ravaged and the vast territory was in ruins.
Some swamps dried up, some mountains collapsed, terrifying claw marks were left on the vast land, and some areas were melted by the high temperature, probably left by Little Red Sparrow during the battle.
Driven by the deliberate actions of the other two ferocious creatures, within a radius of 100,000 li, apart from some primitive herds of beasts and the Stone Village, no other organized life could be seen.
The elderly people in Shicun couldn't help but sigh when they heard the news.
Luofu Marsh, Purple Mountain, Golden Wolf Clan—those large clans with populations exceeding ten million—even those who were once enemies felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this scene.
Humans are beings with empathy, so it's inevitable that the innocent deaths of ordinary people within a large clan evoke a sense of shared sorrow.
It's not easy for ordinary people to make a living in this world.
Of course, this is only temporary.
What makes us human is compassion. Suppressing negative emotions, striving forward, seeking new life in adversity, and moving towards a better future are all innate qualities etched into our very bones.
Lu Sheng searched back and forth among the ruins of various battles, and soon he found Zhu Yan, a three-headed, six-armed monkey covered in dirt with one foot buried in the ground, at the bottom of a dried-up lake.
Which creature is this that is fighting the Sky-Devouring Sparrow?
Compared to the little red sparrow, it looked even more pitiful.
The little red sparrow can also fly to the Willow Goddess for help.
Zhu Yan, who once stood tall and upright, has now degenerated into a languid little monkey about a foot tall, only still maintaining its three-headed, six-armed battle form.
The battle was truly brutal.
"Finally found you! Three heads, six arms, seventy-two transformations, hehe, who could resist these two supernatural powers?"
Lu Sheng descended rapidly, leaving a trail of lightning behind him.
He took out a gourd containing the fertilizer water that the Willow God had given him.
A little mud was poured on Zhu Yan, who was covered in mud, and he quickly began to revive. His eyes suddenly opened, blinking, filled with endless confusion.
It was beaten so badly that it didn't even remember its mother.
"I'm your father. From now on, follow me and I'll guarantee you wealth and honor."
Lu Sheng gulped down his secret-recipe beverage and stuffed piece after piece of jerky into the monkey's mouth.
This made the little monkey too embarrassed to retort, even though he probably couldn't speak human language anymore.
With a sip of a small drink and a bite of meat, the monkey gradually regained its vitality.
A series of cracking sounds rang out, and the old skin covered in mud peeled off his body, and his three heads and six arms quickly returned to one head and two arms.
It also became smaller, only three inches tall, with golden fur and a round body, like a golden ball.
The little golden monkey was like a starving ghost reincarnated. As soon as it recovered, it began to eat meat frantically, piece after piece. No matter how much Lu Sheng took out, it would eat it all.
The meat it ate was larger than its body.
Lu Sheng grabbed its tail and flew towards Shi Village. It didn't resist and just focused on eating meat.
Lu Sheng, who was all about swindling and exchanging precious techniques, had a kind face and kept deceiving people along the way:
"Little monkey, this meat of mine is made from a secret recipe of ferocious beast meat. Have you ever heard of the Dragon Horn Elephant? Named after a dragon, that's extraordinary, extremely precious."
"My little drink is even more extraordinary; it is imbued with the aura of immortals, a supreme and divine elixir."
"The vegetables grow vigorously after being watered, and the cattle and sheep grow fat and plump after drinking the water."
"This is an incredible opportunity."
"If you want more drink, then obediently teach me your three heads and six arms technique and your seventy-two transformations."
"I'll grit my teeth and suffer a loss, and I'll give you another copy of the Suanni Treasure Technique."
"Have you heard of the Suanni? It's an ancient divine beast, much more imposing than you, little golden monkey. Look how young you are."
"The Suanni Treasure Technique can unleash golden lightning, and you are now gleaming golden; it couldn't be more fitting for you."
"If all else fails, I still have the Azure Scales... Azure Sky Roc Treasure Technique. This is an ancient demonic bird; I don't even mention it to ordinary people."
"Look how good I am to you, I feed you, I give you drinks, and I even provide you with tutoring materials."
As the saying goes, "It takes a thousand days to train an army, but only one day to use it."
"Just tell me whether you'll give it to me or not. If you don't, our relationship will fade!"
Lu Sheng kept bluffing for several days, offering all sorts of fruits, vegetables, barbecued meats, and even snatching two cans of little Shi Hao's animal milk.
Finally, they managed to trick him into revealing the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Three Heads and Six Arms technique.
It's incomplete, though.
There's nothing we can do; Zhu Yan is currently mentally challenged and in a state of primitive regression.
The advantage of being brainless is that you can deceive, but the techniques passed down in this state are also incomplete.
However, it's enough for his current level.
The Zhu Yan clan's Seventy-Two Transformations can alter everything the user sees, making it undetectable even to the person closest to them.
This ability is even more precious to those who roam the martial world than the Ten Fierce Treasures.
When you're out in the world, you're bound to get hurt.
Multiple faces, multiple paths.
Both the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and the Ye Heavenly Emperor highly recommend it.
The Desolate Heavenly Emperor has seventy-two transformations, while the Ye Heavenly Emperor possesses the Great Art of Changing Heaven and Earth.
Skills are essential for the strong.
Murder, robbery, looting, sowing discord, and so on are all excellent choices.
Having obtained the precious technique, Lu Sheng immediately kicked Little Zhu away and let it roam freely like the three birds, causing them to squeak and chirp.
Shi Hao, who likes keeping pets, took the bag and comforted him, saying, "Brother Lu Sheng doesn't have much extra food at home either, you have to learn to be understanding."
His face flushed slightly. Lu Sheng had also passed on the Seventy-Two Transformations to him, so naturally he had to speak up for Brother Lu Sheng.
It was a little unusual at first; I'm young and quite innocent and kind.
