"But the ape is still there." Tang Xinzhen was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, I should have convinced it that it doesn't dare to come and cause trouble for us." Ning Yue said firmly.
"Master Ning, that ape is too terrifying. Its power is terrifying. It should be the overlord of this mountain range. I don't know what species it is?"
Tang Xinzhen touched his snow-white chin with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know either." Ning Yue shook his head.
The two took a lot of spring water.
This deep pool is crystal clear to the bottom, with fairy air curling up and filled with a light fragrance.
This spring water has the effect of nourishing the soul, and for monks like Tang Xinyi, it has the effect of increasing the strength of the soul.
For Ning Yue, it also had a great effect, but it was unable to restore the soul.
Ning Yue planned in his mind to use this spring water to refine some elixirs, which might be able to nourish the soul and speed up the recovery of the soul.
Yuan Shen is a very important means for him, which greatly enhances his combat power. Now that his Yuan Shen is seriously damaged, his combat power is naturally weakened.
Moreover, he must repair his soul before breaking through the Mahayana realm, otherwise he will not be able to survive the thunder tribulation of the Mahayana realm.
"Master Ning Xian, let's go." Tang Xinzhen showed a satisfied smile.
With Master Ningxian here, she seemed to have a backbone, not to mention that she had gained so many unexpected benefits this time.
She still remembered the village chief's promise.
The two were about to cross the mountain forest and leave here. Suddenly, there was a booming sound behind them, the mountain forest shook violently, and the golden ape came out again.
"How dare you come?"
Ning Yue showed a disdainful smile. He didn't want to kill the ape. He guessed that the ape might be the village's guardian beast, so for the safety of the village, he didn't do anything cruel just now.
"Master Ning, wait a minute, I feel like this ape has no ill intentions."
Just as Ning Yue was about to take action, Tang Xinyi hurriedly stopped her. She felt that the ape did not have murderous intent.
"That seems to be the case, so what is it doing here?"
Ning Yue frowned. This ape came out of the forest and waved to him. It looked like a human and bowed to him. It was really hard to understand its intention.
"Master Ning, don't you understand? It wants to surrender to you and leave here with you!"
Tang Xinzhen covered her lips and smiled, letting out a giggle.
"Submit to me? To be honest, I have never accepted a spiritual beast in these years."
Ning Yue laughed bitterly.
"There are relatively few resources in the lower realm. Except for sects like the Spirit Beast Sect that rely on spirit beasts to fight, other monks do rarely raise spirit beasts in captivity. After all, cultivating spirit beasts requires a lot of resources. However, this ape is so terrifying, Master Ning Xian There is no need to waste resources, and with it, you can basically walk sideways in the lower realm."
Tang Xinzhen smiled, with an envious expression in her beautiful eyes.
Not everyone is as lucky as Ning Yue. A monster beast in the late Mahayana realm surrendered directly.
Her younger brother Tang Zhaoxi loved raising spiritual beasts, but they did not have much money. Later, his younger brother became seriously ill and had no choice but to sell the spiritual beasts to others.
"Then I'll try."
Ning Yue descended from the sky and landed in front of the ape. He did not relax his vigilance. If the ape was "faking surrender", he could take action at any time.
"Are you willing to surrender to me?"
Ning Yue put his hands behind his back and said calmly with a stern expression.
The ape seemed to understand what the man said, nodding towards Ning Yue, then kneeling on the ground, spitting out a drop of blood essence from his mouth with a pop.
"Master Ning, if you take out a drop of blood essence and form a blood contract with this ape, you will be its master."
Tang Xinyi was on the sidelines and told him the formula of the blood contract.
Ning Yue also knew more or less about this aspect. After following Tang Xin's instructions, he reached a contract with the ape. He felt that he had reached some kind of subtle connection with the ape.
"Owner……"
Suddenly, a hoarse, stumbling voice sounded in Ning Yue's mind, obviously coming from an ape.
"interesting."
A smile appeared on Ning Yue's lips, and he asked, "What race are you?"
"The Tongtian... clan, I don't know the specifics. I have been trapped here for tens of thousands of years... and have reached a bottleneck... The master is very powerful..."
replied the ape.
"Tongtian ape clan?"
Ning Yue was shocked. This seemed to be the oldest race of the apes, and seemed to be older than the human race.
Nowadays, most monks believe that the human race has been very powerful since ancient times. In fact, the human race was just a vassal of the demon clan in the beginning.
According to records in some ancient books, the human race learned the breathing method from the demon race, then created a cultivation system, and finally established the fairy world.
However, the immortal monks now believe that the immortal world created everything.
Anyway, these things are too long ago, who can know whether they are true or false.
"Congratulations to Master Ning for subduing a holy beast!"
On the side, Tang Xinyi congratulated.
Ning Yue smiled, but he felt that this golden ape might be a gold-swallowing behemoth in the future and would require a lot of resources.
In order not to frighten the people in the village, the ape changed its shape and became about the same size as a golden monkey. Its fur was shiny and golden, making it less scary, and its eyes were full of spirituality.
"This little ape is quite cute. Let's call him Xiao Jin from now on."
Tang Xinji chuckled.
"Whatever." Ning Yue said.
The two returned to the village again and saw Ning Yue regaining consciousness. People in the village came to watch.
The village chief grinned and said: "Let me just say that the spring water there is effective. Our ancestors have said so!"
"Then village chief, didn't you ask me to bring more spring water before? I brought it back, can you still fulfill your promise?"
Tang Xinyi asked.
"I keep my word, of course there is no problem!"
The village chief was very happy. After collecting the spring water, he handed a golden fruit to Tang Xinyi.
Later, Ning Yue set up a formation in the village to protect the village. Even if monks from the Mahayana realm invaded, they would suffer a lot.
It can be regarded as a little feedback from him.
If the village chief hadn't saved him, he might have died.
A month later, the formation was completed and Ning Yue was about to leave.
Ning Yue was reluctant to part with the villagers. Although this village was weird in every way, the people were simple and hospitable.
"Ning Yue, you will come back to see us in the future. Don't forget us." The village chief said, wiping away tears.
"I will definitely do it in the future!" Ning Yue nodded.
"Ning Yue, don't tell other people about our village. We don't want to be disturbed by the outside world."
Before leaving, the village chief explained again.
"Okay, I will." Ning Yue smiled.
Afterwards, Ning Yue and Tang Xinzhen left the village. Not long after they left, Ning Yue received a message from Emperor Qinghe.
