Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Around the red and blue lakes, there are all sorts of unique plants growing.

"This is my medicine garden, how is it?" Dugu Bo said proudly.

Sun Ming said, "It doesn't seem like you planted them; the herbs are growing too chaotically, it's completely wild growth."

Dugu Bo coughed twice and said, "Indeed, I didn't plant them, but I was the first to discover this place. It's thanks to this area that I can suppress the toxins in my body and break through the level of a Titled Douluo... Take a look quickly, can the herbs here be considered heavenly treasures? Are there any suitable for me and Yan Yan?"

"I need to taste them first, after all, the herbs here aren't even documented in the library of Tiandou Royal Academy." Sun Ming took out a needle from the Hundred Treasures Pouch given to him by Dugu Bo, and started pricking each plant, dipping into the trivial amount of herbal juice, placing it in his mouth, tasting it carefully, analyzing its effects.

After half a day, he had tasted every herb in the entire garden and analyzed the effects. In front of Dugu Bo, he stripped the entire garden, then took out a hoe and began to cultivate.

"What are you doing?" Dugu Bo was confused.

"In a medicine garden, of course, herbs must be planted." Sun Wukong raised the hoe, swung it down, and a large chunk of soil was lifted out, then he broke it with the hoe, repeating the process.

The movement was fluid, as if integrated with nature, making Dugu Bo momentarily dazzled.

"Is there any particular skill to this digging?" Dugu Bo suddenly asked.

"This is a soil-digging body-forging method I developed based on the rhythm of human bones and muscles, paired with the corresponding breathing frequency. Although it can't enhance Soul Power, it can train the entire body," Sun Ming said, "For soul masters without mimicry cultivation, it's very effective."

Dugu Bo thought for a while and decided to learn along.

After all, this medicine garden belongs to him, and if he doesn't know how to plant medicine, wouldn't people laugh at him?

Under Sun Ming's guidance, Dugu Bo also found the knack, and even discovered that by using soul power during the soil-digging, it becomes more powerful.

Is this a Self-Created Soul Skill?!

Impressive!

Sun Wukong said, "According to my research during this time, in fact, for non-support type soul masters, the skills granted by soul rings aren't that important. What matters is the enhancement of the soul ring to the martial soul and one's life level, and attack methods can entirely come from Self-Created Soul Skills. Even a simple straight punch can crush the soul skills of lower-level soul masters if the soul power reaches level ninety."

"That is to say, for soul masters who enjoy fighting, to become stronger, they shouldn't add soul rings that grant strong attack skills in the early stages, but instead those that enhance their martial soul and physical foundation."

"Of course, for common soul masters, they have no choice; after all, the continent's environment is the survival of the fittest, and without attack methods, they could die prematurely."

"But as for your granddaughter, I don't quite understand why her first two soul rings need such strong attack abilities, considering she has you, a Titled Douluo, as backing, and no one would dare to harm her in the early stages, right?"

"Moreover, later on, with higher levels, the first few soul skills are rarely used. Like you, with nine soul rings and nine soul skills, you probably often use the latter three and rarely the first six, right?"

"For attack-type soul skills, ten-thousand-year soul rings are much stronger than one-hundred-year or one-thousand-year ones."

Dugu Bo blushed. Could he say he hadn't thought of it?

In fact, most Titled Douluo don't realize this either.

Besides, who else is as monstrous as you?

Dugu Yan, seeing her grandfather at a loss, secretly chuckled, then was called over by Dugu Bo to join the digging. He also applied soul pressure, under the pretense of comprehensively training her physical fitness.

In an afternoon, the area around the Ice-Fire Lake was fully cultivated. Sun Ming, based on the surrounding environment, planted various herbal seeds that he thought were excellent, then summoned the wood monkey from his third soul ring to gather the life energy, allowing them to sprout and grow faster.

It might not take a year before a large batch of heavenly treasures grows with the aid of the wood monkey.

Provided that Sun Ming remains here.

Looking at how this generation finally resembled a medicine garden, Dugu Bo was extremely pleased: "You really are a treasure, capable of stimulating the growth of medicinal plants."

"Mainly, the environment here is uniquely endowed, that Ice-Fire Lake plays a huge role."

"Ice-Fire Lake? That name is fitting." Dugu Bo looked at the lake and asked, "Then, when watering, should we use the water from the lake?" This соpy соmеs frоm соntеnt оn М|V|L0ЕМРYR.

"It needs to be diluted first, and each heavenly treasure has different requirements. I need to waste some seedlings first to determine the right ratios." Sun Ming said.

"Doesn't matter." Dugu Bo was very generous.

Later, Sun Ming took out the various precious herbs he had picked earlier and introduced their uses one by one to Dugu Bo.

"This one looks like a round melon, with dragon patterns, and is golden, able to enhance the Earth Attribute, so it's called the Golden Dragon Earth Melon."

"Doesn't that name sound a bit odd?"

"Anyway, no one outside knows, let's just say this is our first discovery. Naturally, we have the naming rights, and there's no need to pick some fancy name that people hear and have no idea what it is. Simple and straightforward is so much better," Sun Ming smirked, "Plus, once I formulate the corresponding plant nutrient solution, in a few years, this place will be full of treasures growing in patches, you could even sell them."

Dugu Bo's fingers trembled.

From Sun Ming's introduction, he roughly understood just how valuable these herbs were, many of them could even enhance soul power and improve martial souls for soul masters without any side effects.

To people of the continent today, these are precious herbs!

However, considering Sun Ming's talent, Dugu Bo felt at ease.

With this kid's aptitude, once he's titled Douluo, at level ninety-one, he could make a level ninety-nine peerless Douluo kneel and call him daddy. So, what if he sells these things?

Anyway, they can grow them as they please.

More importantly, this kid didn't hold back any secrets, and told him all the effects of these herbs.

Dugu Bo felt that if it were him, he wouldn't be so generous, might even swallow a large part… this kid is too honest, he needs to be taught to be a bit more cunning with other people, lest he gets deceived.

Then, Sun Ming used Dugu Bo's alchemy room to extract certain herbal liquids from various rare treasures, relying on his own feelings, put them into the furnace to stewing, and when he felt it was almost ready, opened it, poured the crystal-clear herbal liquid into a large basin, then added yam powder and sticky rice flour, along with a little sugar, kneading them into white pills.

Dugu Bo's eye twitched as he watched, and said, "Kid, if I didn't know you were refining medicine, I'd think you were making sugar pills."

"Speaking of sugar pills, that's really what they are, but what were you thinking earlier?" Sun Ming placed fifty pills into a jade bottle and asked Dugu Bo.

"I thought you would use soul power to directly solidify pills within the furnace."

"You've read too many little books, haven't you?"

Sun Ming retorted unceremoniously, "The herbal liquid is liquid. To solidify it into a fixed shape, either you put in some animal fat, or you control it with soul power continuously, otherwise what would you use as a carrier?"

"If you followed your inner core, then the pills refined wouldn't be dare to eat, after all, there's someone else's soul power mixed in. Unless the refiner is as skilled as if nature itself, returning all to the origin, otherwise using someone else's power would waste lot of medicine power, and can you guarantee that none of your soul power would mix with others in the refining process?"

"If you want to see, next time I can add a bunch of sticky rice flour, and you can solidify them into pills in the furnace… speaking of which, you're quite odd, clearly the effect isn't less, yet you're so mysterious about it."

Dugu Bo was left speechless.

Since meeting this kid, he's felt like a illiterate.

"Yan Yan, here, eat these fifty Hundred Herb Pills."

"Eat them all?"

"One pill a day, fifty days, you'll undergo a transformation, your martial soul might even change."

Sun Ming said, "Even if it doesn't mutate, these fifty pills can raise your physical and soul power without side effects, at least reaching level thirty within fifty days."

Dugu Yan took the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, put it in her mouth, and felt like she was eating yam sticky rice candy, the taste was not bad. She chewed a few times, then swallowed it.

Suddenly, she felt warm all over, her soul power also increased by one level, her body felt stronger, all the fatigue from digging earth swept away, she even felt she could punch a bull dead.

Seeing his own Yan Yan full of energy, Dugu Bo was very pleased and asked, "Xiao Ming, what about mine?"

"Wait a moment." Sun Ming took out a red cabbage and a blue aloe vera, making the temperature inside the alchemy room cold and hot at the same time.

"You don't want to kill me, do you?" Dugu Bo didn't know what these two were but knew they were both top-notch poisons, and cold and hot, two extremes.

"I won't harm you, after all, I could join Tiandou Royal Academy, not get bullied by those noble kids, it's all because of you."

Sun Ming rolled his eyes, squeezed the juice from the two herbs into the furnace, then kneaded the remaining stems into a fist-sized ball, carefully pressing out nine holes on it, then tossed it into the red and blue mixed liquid.

"Do these two poisons have names?" Dugu Bo couldn't make heads or tails, but still tried to make conversation.

"The red one looks like cabbage, so let's call it Fire Cabbage; the blue one looks like aloe vera, so call it Ice Aloe," Sun Ming bluntly named them.

"That's a bit too straightforward, isn't it?"

"Don't you think they look like cabbage and aloe?"

Sun Ming asked back, "Maybe they're actually cabbage and aloe seeds, or roots, brought here by wind or soul beasts, and then mutated."

Dugu Bo was speechless but found this reasoning plausible.

After all, these two poisons do indeed look like cabbage and aloe vera.
