Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Yuyan and Qing Feng each held a duck pear with a moving face, and left the summit of Huaguo Mountain to sit in a nearby pavilion, examining the duck pears in their hands.

"Qing Feng, do you think we might have been conned by Immortal Zhenyuan?" Yuyan tossed the duck pear in her hand, "Could this just be an ordinary duck pear, merely bewitched with a spell to have a face?"

Qing Feng shook her head, "Not sure, but at the very least it should still be some kind of immortal fruit, not just an ordinary duck pear."

This duck pear possessed an extremely rich spiritual energy, incomparable to ordinary spirit fruits.

However, its appearance was indeed too ordinary.

If not for the face of a young child, others might really not recognize this thing as an immortal fruit.

"Shall we eat it?"

Yuyan glanced at Zhen Yuanzi, who was circling around the immortal stone, and then looked at the duck pear in her hand, tentatively suggesting.

Little did she know, her statement caused the duck pear in her hand to speak.

"Don't eat me!"

"Don't eat me!"

"Don't eat me!"

The duck pear actually began to talk.

The voice sounded like that of a lively and adorable three to five-year-old child learning to talk, yet it carried a hint of fear.

"It can even talk."

Yuyan squinted her eyes, grabbed the stem on top of the duck pear with one hand, and gave it a few shakes.

"Don't shake! I'm feeling dizzy!"

The duck pear's eyes spun as it stuttered, "It's about to break..."

Yuyan stopped shaking it and asked, "What's your name?"

"I'm Changbing," the duck pear said fearfully, shivering as it disclosed its own name and the name of the other duck pear, "The other one is called Duanbing."

Yuyan found that the stem on top of the one in her hand was indeed longer than the one Qing Feng held.

"If I cut your stem shorter, would you be called Bald Stem?"

"While that makes sense, I could also change to another name, like, Big Duck Pear." Changbing said somewhat sullenly, a tear sparkling in its eyes.

Yuyan couldn't help but raise a finger to wipe it off, then licked it.

Sweet!

Changbing shivered, "Don't eat me."

Yuyan said, "I won't eat you, be my pet from now on, and provide sugar water every day."

Changbing breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "No problem."

As long as it wasn't eaten, anything was negotiable.

Though its mission was to take root upon falling to the ground, grow into a big pear tree, and produce many duck pears...

But as far as it knew, duck pear seeds discarded at random, after being eaten, seldom took root and sprouted.

And moreover, to say something utterly traitorous considering its own nature as a fruit and a seed:

The sentient it did not really want to sacrifice itself to become a pear tree and then produce more pears.

It was somewhat scared of dying.

"Then you must be Duanbing." Qing Feng, mimicking Yuyan's actions, pinched Duanbing, "You two have followed Immortal Zhenyuan for so long, have you learned any earth-shattering, soul-stirring spells?"

Duanbing trembled and replied, "My dear! If we had learned, how could you two still be pinching us?"

Changbing blinked, "Duanbing and I mostly stayed tucked in the great immortal's sleeve, how could we possibly steal some spells?"

They were duck pears!

Even if they learned, they couldn't use it as they didn't even have hands.

"You're really useless." Yuyan despised.

Being Immortal Zhenyuan's personal belongings and not having heard or learned anything, weren't they just useless?

Changbing said, "We can provide sugar water."

Yuyan curled her lips, "That's pretty much the only use then."

Changbing: "..."

Duanbing: "..."

Meanwhile, Zhen Yuanzi, who was circling the immortal stone, also derived a more powerful skill of the universe, enhancing the cosmos technique inside his sleeves.

"The immortal stone that nurtures my spiritual brother is truly extraordinary."

As he spoke, he took some spiritual medicine from his sleeve and burned it with the fire of the Six Jia, finally pouring the medicated liquid onto the top of the immortal stone.

Instantly, the medicated liquid flowed down from the top, entering its nine apertures and eight holes, spreading around the immortal stone and driven by the spiritual energy, swirling inside the holes.

"Truly deserving of a natural alchemy furnace!"

This immortal stone resembled an alchemy furnace, but the elixirs needed to be refined outside rather than inside.

With an exterior forming the heavenly cycle, having twenty-four solar terms, plus nine apertures and eight holes, it resonated with the three realms and the world.

Within the immortal stone, there was also a world of its own.

Inner world, outer world, connected through the body's nine apertures and eight holes, as the medicated liquid flowed in, not dispersing, vibrating among each other, it used the inner and outer worlds as the furnace, the essence of spiritual energy as the flame of creation, causing the medicated liquid to continuously condense, purify, and solidify.

In just a short while, seventy-two blue elixirs took shape, embedded above the nine apertures and eight holes.

Immortal Zhenyuan hastily cast a spell and scooped out seventy-two Golden Cores, placing them into a green-skinned gourd, laughing as he said, "A Three-Turns Elixir, my worthy brother's nurturing place indeed is a self-formed Alchemy Furnace of heaven and earth."

Moreover, Immortal Zhenyuan could feel that this "Alchemy Furnace" was still continuously repairing itself, with spiritual energy gradually increasing, speculated that one day, even a Nine-Turns Elixir could be concocted.

Afterwards, Immortal Zhenyuan glanced at Yuyan and Iron Fan in the nearby pavilion and sighed, "If only my Qing Feng and Mingyue were as astute as these two."

Although he was engaged in alchemy, he also spared a sliver of his mind to observe Yuyan and Iron Fan, clearly aware of their recent actions.

It is only through comparison that one feels hurt.

His two disciples remained stubbornly ignorant; although lively and innocent, their innocence made them insensible to human relations and worldly wisdom.

A True Immortal understands, merely reluctant to act upon it, as it might cost them their naive true nature.

Yet, those two disciples truly did not understand.

In contrast, my worthy brother's two female disciples, while they too lacked understanding, made up for it with their cleverness, and they would have plenty of time to mingle on the Huaguo Mountain, potentially even ascending to Heavenly Immortal someday.

"Immortal Zhenyuan, what did you scoop out from the king's Immortal Stone?"

Yuyan and Iron Fan ran over, stating righteously, "As a great immortal, you cannot steal!"

Immortal Zhenyuan gave a slight smile, "It was merely for alchemy."

Saying this, he poured two Three-Turns Golden Cores from the green-skinned gourd and handed one to each of them.

"For us?"

My Virtual Library Empire (M V L E M P Y R) appreciates your readership at the source.

Yuyan was a bit puzzled.

Although she indeed desired them, they hadn't even asked yet, and he was already giving them away?

Was he that generous?

"Using the naturally formed Alchemy Furnace for alchemy is both my fate and my worthy brother's fate; these two Golden Cores are the fee for using this furnace," Immortal Zhenyuan said cheerfully.

"So that's it."

Yuyan suddenly understood, but weren't two cores too few?

You clearly concocted seventy-two!

And it was necessary to borrow this "Alchemy Furnace" to even be able to concoct a Three-Turns Elixir.

One would think, the division with the king should at least be even, right?

In upholding Sun Wukong's interests, Yuyan would not be vague, but considering the Immortal Stone was previously shattered and repaired by the present Immortal Zhenyuan, she decided not to quibble on this occasion.

The remaining seventy cores can just be considered the repair fee for Immortal Zhenyuan.

"Brother, it seems you have already used this 'furnace' to concoct spiritual medicine." Sun Wukong's voice came from not far, as he leisurely walked from the path at the mountain base.

"My worthy brother, I must say, your Immortal Stone is truly useful."

Immortal Zhenyuan praised, "No need for fuel, no need for watching over, no need for effort; just pour the prepared medicinal liquid onto it, and the pills will form, and the concocted medicine is also bursting with spiritual energy."

Yuyan and Iron Fan presented the two Three-Turns Elixirs, which Sun Wukong accepted to inspect, then handed them back to them, saying, "Since the great immortal gave them to you, just accept them."

"Thank you, King!"

"Thank you, Immortal Zhenyuan!"

Yuyan and Iron Fan, delighted, immediately placed the Three-Turns Elixirs in their mouths and swallowed them whole.

Then, both yawned simultaneously, unconsciously lying down and falling asleep in each other's arms.

"Huh—"

Sun Wukong pursed his lips and blew out a breath of immortality, sending the two into the Shuilian Cave.

"Brother, what elixir did you concoct?" Sun Wukong asked.

"My worthy brother, you don't know what elixir I concocted and yet you allowed them to eat it so casually?" Immortal Zhenyuan pursed his lips.

"Hehe, I also understand pharmacology and alchemy. That elixir was made with ingredients like Dragon Smoke Herb, White Peel Fruit, Heavenly Spirit Ginseng, Earth Spirit Ganoderma among others, with Dragon Smoke Herb as the main ingredient which aids in sleep.

Combined with the other ingredients, it nourishes the Divine Body and strengthens the Primordial Spirit," Sun Wukong revealed the ingredients and effects of the elixir before adding, "I just don't know its name."

Immortal Zhenyuan said, "Hibernating Dragon Elixir."

The Hibernating Dragon wakes from sleep, and its roar shakes a thousand mountains.

After ingesting this Hibernating Dragon Elixir, one will sleep for seven days and nights, during which the elixir will unlock the body's potential, and upon awakening, the body will undergo a transformation.

Although it cannot forge a Divine Body or achieve an Immortal Form, it can still bring them to a state where their skin is tight as a drum, their sinews are like dragons, their marrow turns to jade, and their bones are tougher than iron.

More importantly, their Primordial Spirit will undergo a transformation, enhancing their mana storage capacity.

"Good name," Sun Wukong praised, "Come on, brother, let's take you to see other places."

"This Immortal Stone is so mystical, shouldn't a Formation be set to guard it?" Immortal Zhenyuan wondered, this place was not like his Wu Zhuang Guan, which had courtyards for protection. If someone came up here and saw this Immortal Stone, aroused by greed, they might spoil it.

"Great immortal needs not worry, just watch my technique."

Sun Wukong took a step forward, and his figure silently disappeared.

Immortal Zhenyuan looked around, unable to find where Sun Wukong was, then said, "My worthy brother, come out, where did you hide?"

"Right here."

Immortal Zhenyuan immediately turned around, finding that Sun Wukong had actually emerged from the Immortal Stone itself, using what must have been an Escape Skill, hence not harming the Immortal Stone in the slightest.

"How did my worthy brother achieve that?"

What amazed Immortal Zhenyuan was that Sun Wukong's Escape Skill left no trace, truly extraordinary.

"Brother, this is not an Escape Skill, but a sense."

Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "I came out of this Immortal Stone naturally, and can also enter it. Now that the Immortal Stone is fully repaired and has connected with me, within a thought, I can be here from anywhere."
