Chapter 55: Planting Monsters
The sun is shining brightly and the sky is cloudless. It is another sunny day.
On the left bank of the Wei River, at the edge of the jungle, the wolf demon was jumping back and forth on the grass like a happy dog.
The fish in the river were like a dragon gate on the shore, jumping up and down continuously and scattering all over the grass. The wolf demon was having a great time picking them up.
On the shore, Jiaona and Luoli, who were as pretty as fairies, were skillfully handling the fish they had caught. Daqing and Xiaoqing, who were two or three meters tall, stood behind them like children, licking their mouths constantly. After they finished handling a fish, Daqing and Xiaoqing would quickly bring it over and put it in the wicker basket behind them.
The two wicker baskets were soon full.
Jiaona looked back, then at the sky, and then called out to the river, "Okay, Jiu, that's enough, come up quickly."
With a "splash", Chen Jiu jumped out of the water like a dragon, somersaulted several times in the air, and landed steadily on the shore.
Luo Li looked at the well-defined tendons all over his body and couldn't help but said shyly, "You, you can catch a lot of them just by raising your hands, but you insist on jumping into the water to catch them."
Chen Jiu shook his wet hair and said happily: "It's fun in the water. Catching fish in the river is much more fun than catching them on the shore."
Hearing this, Jiaona shook her head slightly and said with a sweet smile: "You, even though you are already a patriarch, you still act like you haven't grown up yet."
Not long after, they rode on the wolf demon, Daqing and Xiaoqing , carrying two full baskets of fish, and rushed towards Jiuling Mountain.
At this time, Jiuling Mountain had already changed its appearance. Pavilions had been built on the middle ridge, and there were many houses on the surrounding mountaintops. The undulating mountains and forests were full of transplanted fruit trees, and I don't know how many monkeys were playing in them.
In front of the cave of the earth fairy Linlang, there were actually two monkey demons about ten feet tall, standing upright on both sides of the cave, leaning on copper sticks as thick as their arms .
As soon as Chen Jiu and his party came back, they all said in unison with full respect: "Greetings to the Grandmaster, Greetings to the Grandmaster's Wife."
The wolf demon couldn't help but remind him, "What about me?"
The two monkey demons hurriedly said in unison: "Greetings to the Second Patriarch."
Xiao Qing couldn't help but join in the fun: "And me, and me."
The two monkey demons still said in unison: "Greetings to Grandmother Xiaoqing."
This little guy is so naughty.
The old fox fairy came out of the cave upon hearing the noise and said kindly, "Xiaoqing, stop making trouble. It's getting late. Hurry up and get smaller and bring the fish in."
In fact, they no longer live in this cave, but this cave is made entirely of stone, so it won't catch fire and is convenient for cooking. Therefore, this place has become their kitchen and dining place.
The old fox fairy has already cooked a big pot of mutton soup and is just waiting for the fish.
Jiaona's cooking skills were all taught by her, so the food she cooked was naturally more delicious. In order to take good care of Luo Li, she even went out to buy some rice and flour. A large table of food was prepared, which was really mouth-watering just by looking at it.
Everyone had a satisfying meal, and Chen Jiu clapped his hands and stood up, saying, "Okay, it's noon, it's time to plant monsters."
After saying that, he strode out quickly.
Jiaona, Luo Li, the wolf demon, Daqing and Xiaoqing also quickly got up and followed.
At this time, the monkey demon Sun Dasheng, the pig demon Zhu Tianpeng, and the bull demon Niu Dali had already been waiting outside.
Chen Jiu walked along the steps beside him to the awning on top of the cave gate and sat down on the large armchair that looked like a dragon throne. Jiaona and Luo Li also sat down on both sides of him in a dignified manner.
He raised his head majestically and looked at it, then said in a loud voice: "Great Sage, let's begin."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong hurriedly took Zhu Tianpeng and Niu Dali and lined up neatly on the right side of the gate. The wolf demon and Daqing and Xiaoqing also transformed into their true forms, which were two or three feet tall, and lined up neatly on the right side of the gate.
Then, Sun Dasheng said solemnly, "Worship the Grandmaster!"
"Crash", a dozen monkeys three or four feet tall immediately appeared at the end of the two rows of big trees. They lined up in two neat rows, bowed their heads with each step, and slowly crawled towards the gate of the cave.
This is actually a test, a test of intelligence. If an ordinary monkey can do this, it proves that its intelligence is almost enough and it is qualified to become a demon.
Chen Jiu also discovered this during the last migration. After releasing the monkeys he had collected into the demonic power space, some of them had grown to be over ten feet tall and could even speak!
This is what it means to become a demon.
In other words, the vital energy in his demonic power space can really help ordinary monkeys become demons.
As for why only a few out of the hundreds of monkeys that entered became monsters, he had also tested it and it was a problem of intelligence. After the smart monkeys entered, they would madly absorb the vital energy. When they absorbed enough vital energy, they would naturally become monsters.
So he came up with this weird method.
He directly asked the monkey demon Sun Wukong to search carefully in the surrounding mountains and forests, and bring all the nearby monkey groups over. Every day, he asked the monkey demons that were generated later to teach all the monkeys to line up and perform the ceremony of kowtow.
If a monkey can understand human language, knows how to queue, and can bow while moving forward, then it proves that it is intelligent enough.
In fact, it doesn't take much energy for him to grow monsters in this way. If he absorbs the energy of a ghost general-level monster, it is enough to grow a dozen monkey monsters. The blood and energy of a ghost king-level monster is enough to grow hundreds of monkey monsters.
The monkey demons are very clever, and after being taught, they are all loyal, respect their teachers, and are very efficient in their work. Naturally, he has all kinds of them.
When a dozen monkeys kowtowed and crawled to the gate of the cave, they knelt there respectfully and did not move.
Chen Jiu looked around majestically, then said loudly: "Today, I will plant the seeds of immortality in you. I hope you can respect your teacher and practice diligently. If you succeed in your practice in the future, remember not to bring disaster to the world, and you must not bully your teacher and destroy your ancestors. Do you understand?"
A dozen monkeys nodded quickly, and some even shed tears of excitement.
Well, the intelligence of being able to shed tears is good, and I can focus on cultivating it in the future.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and with a sweep of his spiritual sense, more than a dozen monkeys disappeared.
Then, he closed his eyes, transformed his soul body in the demonic power space, and began to teach carefully.
If these monkeys were not taught some simple skills, their speed of absorbing vital energy was too slow and he would have to wait for most of the day. But after learning the simple skills, things were different and roughly half an hour was enough.
The martial arts he taught was called "Eating the Moon", which could devour both vital energy and the energy of the moon to refine the body. However, there was nothing special about , and if one practiced it to the highest level, one could at most reach the peak of a great demon.
This is a kind of monster he created specifically. After all, some monkeys are inevitably wild and difficult to tame. If they are disobedient, they can only learn the "Moon Devouring" technique. Only if they are obedient can they learn the "Xuan Yin Manual" and even the Tiger Demon Fist.
Chen Jiu sat with his eyes closed for about half an hour, and then more than ten monkeys about ten feet tall appeared in front of the gate of the Immortal Mansion in an orderly manner. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Grandmaster."
He nodded slightly, and then said majestically: "Remember, you must respect your teacher. If anyone disobeys, does not practice diligently, or even repays kindness with hatred, then don't blame the ancestor for being cruel.
"I can plant the seeds of immortality for you, but I can also destroy your body and soul, and make you never be reborn! Remember?"
More than a dozen monkeys quickly said in unison: "Remember."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly again, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go with the Great Sage and the others."
His method of cultivating monsters was truly terrifying. In less than ten days, he had grown nearly a hundred monkey monsters. This speed was many times faster than that of the wealthy families in cultivating spiritual officials.
What's even more terrifying is that he also has a complete set of advanced skills, and can refine elixirs to cultivate these monkey monsters. The cultivation speed of these monkey monsters is many times faster than those of the spiritual officials of the wealthy families!
