Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Leaving

After observing the monkeys for a while, Wei Huo bade the Monkey King farewell. The Monkey King did not hold them back. It could not wait for the two Epic-ranked creatures to leave.

Wei Huo had made a lot of trades with the monkeys. Apart from the peaches, there was also a book called ‘The Wonder Herb Book’. It was a medical book similar to ‘The Herb Garden’. The words in it were written in the language of the monkeys, but there were many valuable herbs recorded inside. It was very valuable.

The Tree-Man obtained ‘Monkey Dance’ by trading. It was a book that recorded the dances of the monkeys. It was very interesting.

The three of them left the Monkey Mountain. They walked 40 to 50 kilometers before exiting the Monkey Mountain for good.

“Are you not singing anymore?” Wei Huo asked.

The Tree-Man said, “I stopped singing. Singing will expose our location. That would be too dangerous. I was too proud of myself previously. There are many powerful beings in this world. One has to be humble!”

Wei Huo said, “I think you’re injured. What happened before?”

The Tree-Man hesitated for a long time before saying, “Have you heard of the Tyrannosaurus King? The half-legendary Tyrannosaurus King is the one who injured me!”

Half-legendary?

Wei Huo was a little surprised. It turned out that the Tree-Man had encountered an existence at the half-legendary level. It was no wonder that he’d maintained his cautious appearance.

Wei Huo asked, “How long ago was that?”

The Tree-Man replied, “About 70 to 80 years ago.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

Was 70-80 years not a long time ago?

The group continued its journey. Soon, the sky turned dark and the three of them stopped to rest at night. However, at that moment, a faint white glow was emitted not far away.

The Tree-Man had already buried his lower body in the soil and started resting. Wei Huo called out to Xiao Bin, “Come with me!”

Wei Huo led Xiao Bin to the glowing place. It was a small mountain with a cave entrance about three meters in diameter. The light was coming from the cave entrance.

When the two of them approached, sounds of running water could be heard coming from the cave.

Wei Huo checked it and mumbled, “This place looks familiar.”

“Get down!” Wei Huo suddenly told Xiao Bin.

Xiao Bin was confused. Did I hear wrong? Get down?

Wei Huo used his inner Qi energy and pushed Xiao Bin’s body. Xiao Bin’s heart skipped a beat.

However, after he landed in the cave, Xiao Bin realized that a layer of Qi energy had turned into a shield to protect him. He kept falling until he finally saw a few small holes in the water. He lifted his head and saw the starry sky while Wei Huo was jumping down.

“Splash!”

Xiao Bin fell into the water and countless streams hit him, crashing into the surrounding walls. Wei Huo stomped down and pushed him into a cave under the water.

Then, the underground stream carried the two of them forward. The underground tunnel was very complex. Moments later, they rushed into a mountain.

There was a small peninsula in the middle of the mountain. Wei Huo thought of the time when he had obtained the Qi Cultivation Skill.

He looked at the confused Xiao Bin and sighed in his heart. He was like an old man who had met the main character.

He did not understand why those old men would take care of the main characters in novels. Why would an old man not only teach the protagonist cultivation techniques but also leave all sorts of good things for the main character?

At that moment, Wei Huo understood that this was probably the elder’s advice to the younger generation. It was probably an instinct. It was just like the way most people who committed heinous crimes would not hurt children. An old man who had many years of achievements would spare no effort to take the protagonist in as a disciple and train him when he saw someone with potential.

Wei Huo floated on the island. There was a jade gate on the island, but it was no longer open to him.

Wei Huo looked at Xiao Bin. “What did you see? What did you hear?”

Xiao Bin was stunned. At first, he had not understood why Wei Huo had wanted to push him down there. However, gradually, he had understood. “Big Brother Wei, is this the cultivation technique you got? The walls are filled with cultivation techniques!”

Wei Huo was confused. He put on his black helmet and used the God View, only to see words appear on the wall.

There were cultivation techniques on the wall!

Wei Huo took a closer look. There were two cultivation techniques on the wall. One of them was called Qi-Manufacturing Technique, while the other was called Jade Liquid Cultivation Technique. Wei Huo studied them carefully and soon understood the cultivation methods of these two skills.

The Qi-Manufacturing Technique was divided into five steps. It was a Qi cultivation method, while the Jade Liquid Cultivation Technique was a body-tempering method.

Wei Huo thought about it. Wasn’t this his basic Qi cultivation skill?

Wei Huo studied and memorized all the skills. If he had obtained a Skill Book, the skill would have disappeared. However, if he used this method to obtain Qi cultivation skills, he could continue cultivating and maybe even improve.

However, at that moment, Xiao Bin suddenly said, “I’ve heard of the Qi-Manufacturing Technique.”

Wei Huo was confused. “You have heard of it? Where did you hear about it?”

Xiao Bin said, “This cultivation technique existed in our world as well. I’ve heard of it, but I’ve never practiced it before. I heard that it was a cultivation technique created by a Qi Master. However, that Master passed away. Did he not pass away? Did he instead transmigrate to this world?”

Wei Huo was speechless.

He understood now. Had these so-called Qi cultivation skills evolved before the time halt? These skills must have been improved. Otherwise, there would not have been such an outstanding effect.

Xiao Bin looked at the cultivation techniques excitedly. Soon, he entered a trance-like state and completely forgot about his surroundings. He only stopped when he bumped into the jade gate.

Xiao Bin was stunned. He turned around and told Wei Huo apologetically, “Big Brother Wei, no! Master, I want to stay here and focus on my cultivation. This is a rare opportunity. If I miss it, I might regret it for my entire life!”

‘Hidden Quest: Xiao Bin will temporarily leave the traveling caravan and return after reaching the Epic stage. If he returns successfully, the player will obtain an unknown Legendary-level reward.’

Legendary?

At present, Wei Huo only had one Legendary item. It was the Legendary Card of the God Destroyer.

The card was very useful. It could transform into any living creature. It was also very powerful and it had a Domain Force.

After thinking about it for a long time, Wei Huo gave the durian seed and peach seed to Xiao Bin. “This is a cultivation treasure ground. It’s very safe. You can stay here and cultivate. If fate allows it, we will meet again!”

Xiao Bin knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times before Wei Huo. “You will be my teacher for life. If I succeed in my cultivation, I will definitely return to your side to repay your kindness!”

‘System Notice: Xiao Bin left your traveling caravan temporarily.’
