The Great Intelligent Apes were famous for two hobbies in the cultivation world. The first was that they valued wine as much as their life. In the cultivation world, no matter what kind of fine wine there was, they would rarely fail to recognize it. There had even been incidents in the cultivation world where sects and clans were exterminated because of a fine wine that the Great Intelligent Apes had never tasted or heard of before. Their ultimate goal was simply to obtain that fine wine, or to see that fine wine that they had never seen before.
The second was that they were madly addicted to battle. The Great Intelligent Apes respected but never feared the strong. Moreover, they loved to challenge the strong in the cultivation world. They never killed the innocent, but they would use all kinds of workable or unworkable reasons to start a fight or join a fight.
Therefore, the number of the Great Intelligent Apes might be slightly inferior to that of the Green Sea Snake race and the Five Elements Peacock race, but they never lacked in the number of strong cultivators. They even had a little more than the other top demon clans.
However, if one believed that the Great Intelligent Apes were crude and unintelligent, then all those who held this kind of thinking would definitely suffer a great loss at the hands of the Great Intelligent Apes.
The reason why the Great Intelligent Apes were called 'wise' was because of their intelligence. Do not be fooled by the appearance of the Great Intelligent Apes. Even if they took human form, they were usually strong giants, just like Yuan Long who was currently fighting against Lu Ping. They looked simple and honest, but if that was really the case, the Great Intelligent Apes would have been destroyed countless times by the cultivation world that was full of deception. How could they become one of the top forces in the cultivation world, one of the few large demon clans that could rival the Six Holy Lands of the human race?
Just like now, the Great Intelligent Apes had given Lu Ping five days to recuperate, but he had also taken the opportunity to drink all the spiritual wine that Lu Ping had collected.
Although the spiritual wine could not be converted into an increase in Yuan Long's cultivation in a short period of time, he could use a secret technique to store pure spiritual qi that could be refined into Vital Essence at any time.
In the long run, the pure spiritual qi was naturally the most suitable to be used to improve one's cultivation. However, in the short run, the pure spiritual qi could be used to quickly replenish the consumption of Vital Essence and could also be used to prolong a cultivator's fighting time.
Yuan Long knew very well that although he was looking forward to fighting against Lu Ping, after witnessing Lu Ping blinding one of the eyes of the Great Cultivator Tenma people, he clearly realized the gap between them. If they were to really fight, Yuan Long would most likely lose.
However, the more this was so, the more the blood of the Great Ape flowing in his veins boiled, and the more he longed for this battle. The Spiritual qi contained in the fine spiritual wine was the biggest bargaining chip to prolong his fight against Lu Ping of the time.
Even if he wasn't a match for Lu Tianping, he still had to fight. The longer he persisted in the hands of an expert, the more he would be able to obtain. So, since Lu Tianping wanted to treat him to a drink, then he would think of a way to drink to his heart's content before the battle!
Yuan Long succeeded, but in the end, he still failed!
The two of them battled above the Qing Ming River for six hours. During the last two hours, Yuan Long even realized that Lu Ping had gone easy on Lu Ping so that Yuan Long could enjoy the battle to his heart's content. On the other hand, Yuan Long was so engrossed in the battle that he didn't notice Lu Ping's presence at all.
Six hours later, Yuan Long's limbs were tied up by Lu Ping's Qing Ming River water. Taking advantage of the moment when Yuan Long broke free, the Invisible Water Sword touched Yuan Long's forehead, and the long sword disappeared again.
"Awesome, awesome!"
The Great Ape Wise did not have the slightest regret after losing. Instead, he shouted in joy. For the Great Ape Wise who loved to fight, a hearty battle was more important than winning or losing. This was also the reason why the Great Ape Wise's Great Master, Pure Yang Laozu Yuan Pokong, liked to fight in groups. With the methods of this Yuan Pokong Laozu, it was very difficult to find an opponent in a one-on-one fight in the world of cultivation. Only in a group fight could he find some satisfaction.
The two of them landed on the back of the Black Tortoise. The Great Ape Wise scratched the back of his head, and a one-foot-tall stone jar appeared in his hand.
Yuan Long patted the stone jar with his fan-sized palm and said, "I, Old Yuan, have drunk so much wine from you, Brother Lu, and I feel very sorry. Fortunately, I still have a jar of the Great Ape Wise's top treasure, Monkey Wine. I want to treat you to a drink."
When Lu Ping heard it was Monkey Wine, his eyes immediately lit up. He asked curiously, "Is it really Monkey Wine? It's an incredible treasure in the world of cultivation! "
Yuan Long smiled complacently and said, "Isn't that so? Although our Brilliant Ape Clan has Monkey Wine, the production is extremely limited. With our Old Yuan's status, it's already not easy to get a small jug every ten years."
Lu Ping looked at the one-foot-tall stone jar in Yuan Long's hand and hesitated. Ten years for a small jar. How many years did it take for Yuan Long to save up such a big jar? Should I take it easy later? I don't want to drink all of his treasure. However, this Monkey Wine is a rare treasure in the world of cultivation that can strengthen the muscles and bones. It has an obvious effect on a cultivator's physical body. It would be a pity if I missed this golden opportunity!
"But …"
Immediately after, Lu Ping felt that his previous hesitation had been thrown out the window. Yuan Long continued, "But this jar is different. It was stolen from our former general before we left the North Ice Fields. In the past, we might not have been willing to invite Brother Lu to drink with us. But this time, we can drink to our heart's content!"
"Haha, good. In that case, I have no choice but to accept. It just so happens that I'm also drooling over the world's famous Monkey Wine!"
The former general of the Great Ape Wise, wasn't that the Pure Yang Laozu Yuan Pokong who loved to fight in groups? No wonder Yuan Long was able to find such a big jar of Monkey Wine. Since that was the case, Lu Ping naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony. That Monkey Wine was really a rare treasure!
As soon as the cup of Monkey Wine entered his mouth, the sweet aroma of the wine contained a strong fiery nature. It was as if a mouthful of lava had flowed down his throat and suddenly burst into flames, burning his limbs and bones. Lu Ping could even clearly feel the heat of the flames on his body.
"Good wine, this is really good wine!"
This feeling of comfort made Lu Ping exclaim in delight. He couldn't help but drink another cup of Monkey Wine.
At this time, Yuan Long, who was watching from the side, felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife when he saw Lu Ping drinking cup after cup. However, the Great Ape Wise had always been forthright, especially when they met a good friend with a similar temperament. Therefore, although the Great Ape Wise felt his heart ache for the Monkey Wine, he was also happy to see Lu Ping drinking to his heart's content. However, other than the Great Ape Wise, no one else would be able to understand this contradictory mentality.
Every time Lu Ping drank a cup of Monkey Wine, the time between each cup was very long. This was so that he would have enough time to refine the medicinal Spiritual Qi in the wine.
Fortunately, the two of them weren't drinking for the sake of drinking. From time to time, they would discuss the Dao and interact with each other. During this period of time, apart from the previous battle, the two of them could be considered to have benefited greatly.
They drank this jar of Monkey Wine for two whole days, but they still only drank two-thirds of it. In the end, when Lu Ping saw that Yuan Long's face had turned green, he was secretly amused. However, even if Lu Ping drank the rest of the Monkey Wine, it wouldn't be of any help to the strengthening of his body in the short term. Only then did he say, "Ah, what a pity, what a pity. This Monkey Wine can be said to be the best wine in the world. It's a pity that I can't drink anymore."
Naturally, Yuan Long refused. Although his heart ached for the wine, he valued this good friend in front of him more. Naturally, he tried his best to dissuade Lu Ping from drinking all the wine. However, Lu Ping used the excuse that he couldn't drink anymore and refused to drink any more. Helplessly, Yuan Long put the jar of Monkey Wine behind him.
At this time, Lu Ping said, "Brother Yuan, I see that although your Thousand Pound Staff is quite powerful, it seems to lack some variation. May I know why?"
Great Intelligent Apes liked to use staffs as their magic weapons. This was because of Ape Taoist's Divine Iron Staff. However, the Great Intelligent Ape clan's staffs were known to have many variations, such as length and size. However, the Thousand Pound Staff in Yuan Long's hand was definitely powerful enough, but it lacked many variations. This piqued Lu Ping's curiosity.
When Yuan Long heard Lu Ping mention his Life Treasure, he couldn't help but sigh. He said, "Because I was young and frivolous, I wholeheartedly wanted to survive the Thunder Tribulation and become a Life Treasure. In the end, I still lacked some foundation. Although I successfully survived the Thunder Tribulation in the end, the Life Treasure's Source was slightly lacking. It was powerful enough, but it had to sacrifice various variations."
Lu Ping said curiously, "The Source of a Life Treasure can't be compared to a person's Source. The lack of Source doesn't mean that it's damaged. It can be made up by smelting rare treasures."
Although Lu Ping wasn't very proficient in the Dao of Smithing, at his level, he still had a lot of experience.
Yuan Long smiled wryly and said, "How can it be so easy to obtain rare treasures? This time, I, Old Yuan, have followed the cultivators of my clan to travel the Central Plains, and one of our objectives is to find a rare treasure that can supplement the essence of this staff. Otherwise, not only will this Spirit Treasure lack many transformations, it will also be extremely difficult for it to improve further in the future."
Lu Ping nodded. He pondered for a moment and didn't say anything else. Just as Yuan Long was about to bid farewell, Lu Ping suddenly said happily, "I've got it! Brother Yuan, why don't you take a look and see if this thing can help your Thousand Pound Staff?"
Yuan Long was startled. When his gaze fell on the item in Lu Ping's hand, his eyes immediately emitted two rays of blue light. The light flashed and Yuan Long immediately shouted, "It's actually this thing! Qianji Quicksand Iron! Is this thing really Qianji Quicksand Iron?"
Lu Ping was slightly startled when he saw the two rays of blue light in Yuan Long's eyes. This blue light was also the "Tri-Pure True Pupils". However, the inheritance of the Tri-Pure True Pupils was divided into three branches, namely the "Tai Qing True Pupils", "Jade Pure True Pupils", and "Prime Clear Pupils". Each of the three branches had their own merits and were evenly matched. Yuan Long's blue light was obviously cultivated in the "Prime Clear Pupils" branch, while Lu Ping's was cultivated in the "Jade Pure Pupils" branch. The only difference was that Lu Ping had already cultivated this branch to great success, while Yuan Long clearly hadn't found the nine types of suitable Heaven and Earth Water.
