The taste of the Vermilion Fruit is really quite good and can quickly recover Spiritual Power without any side effects.
The two Vermilion Fruit Trees in Dad’s space have already co to life, and they want them too.
"What do you want the branches for?"
"Want to plant them in the yard, maybe we can eat them soday."
"Dreaming, huh? These Vermilion Fruits take a hundred years to bear fruit, and didn’t you guys take two saplings last ti?"
"Senior, can you give us three more branches?"
The long-ard ape snorted but agreed.
Qi Wen took out a lot of gourt food from the Storage Bag, "Senior, enjoy these first. We’ll take a look. Don’t worry, we definitely won’t take too much."
The long-ard ape waved his hand. "Go ahead, go ahead."
After the children cheerfully went inside, Tan Shaoting appeared as well.
"Sorry to disturb you, Senior." Tan Shaoting greeted respectfully.
"Sit down and have a drink?" The long-ard ape said, throwing Tan Shaoting a wine gourd. This was a natural Storage Space—not particularly big but much larger than it appeared.
Tan Shaoting sat down with the long-ard ape, watching as this demon beast drank wine, ate food, and enjoyed sweet pastries.
"What’s the situation outside now?"
Tan Shaoting didn’t expect the long-ard ape to ask him this question.
"It’s chaotic. The Barrier with the Demon Realm has been broken, and it’s a battlefield over there. I returned from there."
"Countless deaths and injuries, right?"
Tan Shaoting nodded, "Yeah, countless deaths and injuries. It’s led by a Seventh-tier White Tiger from the Demon Realm."
"Now the Seventh-tier has beco the strongest? Looks like this continent is really falling into the Mortal World."
"Spiritual Energy is already very scarce now."
The long-ard ape nodded, "Yes, now the Spiritual Energy needed to advance is simply insufficient. Honestly, I should have reached the Fifth Rank long ago. But I didn’t dare."
After saying this, it let out a remarkably human-like sigh.
"Friend, do you need us to protect you? I also have Spirit Stones, I can set up a Spirit Gathering Array for you, which will concentrate the Spiritual Energy much more."
The long-ard ape stopped eating and stared at Tan Shaoting.
"Friend, I promise to protect you, and I won’t harm you."
"Can I trust you?"
"Friend, I have many corpses of Fifth-rank demon beasts." This implies that he really wouldn’t care about this Fourth-rank demon beast’s corpse.
The long-ard ape laughed loudly, "Alright, no need to give Spirit Stones, just give two Demon Cores from Fifth-rank demon beasts. Protection from you all isn’t necessary."
It knew well the difference between humans and demons; if they protected it, humans would surely attack it in the future.
With Demon Cores from Fifth-rank demon beasts, advancing is very simple.
Tan Shaoting nodded, directly releasing two Fifth-rank demon beasts to the long-ard ape.
Such an action pleased the long-ard ape imnsely, and it accepted them, then continued eating and drinking.
It was waiting for the father and son to leave, preparing to advance.
Tan Shaoting wasn’t as noble and did not tell it not to harm humans.
Based on its choice to spare three children, it was clear this wasn’t a murderous demon beast. If humans weren’t greedy, there shouldn’t be any danger to life.
Tan Shaoting used to not drink, but this Monkey Wine was really good stuff.
Only in the evening did the three children return.
They opened all the Jade Boxes directly. "Senior, look, this is the Spirit Plant we wanted."
The long-ard ape waved its hand. "How many more days do you need to finish exploring?"
"Senior, we’ve only found a small part, it’ll take at least five days."
The long-ard ape nodded, "Alright." Five days wasn’t long.
"Senior, can I release my Contracted Beast?"
The long-ard ape stared at Qi Wen. Nodded?
Once Xiao Huei ca out of the Spirit Beast Bag, it exaggeratedly ran around Qi Wen several tis. "Master, you finally let out."
The long-ard ape curiously stared at this mouse, which was also a Fourth-tier demon beast, likely from the Demon Realm.
Xiao Huei hopped to Qi Wen’s side, also gazing at the long-ard ape.
"Master, this giant creature is quite powerful even in the Demon Realm."
"We’ve encountered long-ard apes before."
"Master, the long-ard ape is really friendly with the tigress."
The long-ard ape curiously looked at the small mouse on the opposite side; this variety hadn’t been seen in Wolf Tooth Mountain.
Tan Shaoting made porridge for the children, and of course, the long-ard ape ate a bowl as well. It found it distasteful and had no flavor.
Xiao Huei just followed Qi Wen around, a bit intimidated by this giant creature of the sa rank.
Tan Shaoting set up an Array, this ti using the Fifth Rank; he knew the children wanted to enter the space to plant Spirit Plants, and this long-ard ape’s Divine Sense was quite potent, safety was paramount.
He didn’t enter the Array, instead staying outside with the two demon beasts.
The long-ard ape left for a while, bringing back so Spirit Fruits, and placed them in front of Tan Shaoting.
"Friend, I don’t like eating these, so you just leave them for the little ones.
What do you want to do in Wolf Tooth Mountain? Waiting for the secret realm?"
Tan Shaoting nodded, "Yes, we’re here for the secret realm."
"There’s nothing inside. It’s no different from outside."
"We still want to go in and take a look."
"Actually, I ca out from the secret realm. My consciousness was always inside the secret realm, until once when the secret realm opened, I followed a dying cultivator out.
I used to think the demons inside couldn’t co out, but I really did."
"Friend, you weren’t just Fourth Rank before?"
"I used to be late-stage Fifth Rank. After coming out, I suffered backfire, which dropped to Fourth Rank. But it’s enough to protect myself here."
"Yes, in Wolf Tooth Mountain there’s no problem, as long as you don’t go out."
"I don’t want to go out. It’s quite good here, having explored all of Wolf Tooth Mountain. There are many small monkeys to accompany , it’s interesting. What’s good about fighting and killing outside?"
Xiao Huei listened on the side. So, this giant creature used to be Fifth Rank? No wonder there’s a bit of fear towards it.
Qi Wen and the others divided the Spirit Plants inside the Array before entering the space.
All three beca happy little planters.
Qi Hong had a Wood Spirit Root, which gave him a sensitivity to Spirit Plants. The Spiritual Energy inside the space was already denser than outside, along with the Spiritual Spring Water brought from Dad. They were generous in watering the Spirit Plants.
The Vermilion Fruits were carefully tended to, thinking they could bring them back for Mom to eat. Each one had a smile on their face. In this valley, there were many other Spirit Fruits; as long as they tasted good, they’d pick branch after branch to plant inside the space later.
