Chapter 134: The Story of Monsters

Along the way, Yan Buzhi also discovered that among these casual cultivators, only the young monk Li Wang was particularly talkative.

Although the other three are all in the middle stage of Qi refining, they do not pose a threat to Yan Buzhi.

However, the other party also has hidden strength, but since there is no conflict of interest, Yan Buzhi does not believe that they dare to attack him at will.

Besides, on the surface, you are just a second-level Qi refining person. If you keep such a close eye on your strength, how cautious are you?

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Ji, do you have any other hobbies besides practicing?"

"Hobby... I have prepared some drinks. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li would like to taste them?"

Yan Buzhi smiled, took out the wine gourd from his waist, and made a magic trick to draw out the wine in the gourd.

The wine flew out from the mouth of the gourd, exuding a refreshing fragrance in the carriage.

These are some drinks that Yan Buzhi prepared himself while he was in Fangshi. Although the time was not long, the ingredients and techniques used were quite particular. Coupled with the guidance of Arita Liang, the restaurant owner, he brewed a pot of sake that Yan Buzhi personally liked.

The wine is clear, and when you smell it carefully, it is not very strong. Instead, it carries the fragrance of bamboo leaves, but it is not like green bamboo wine. There are also some fragrances of orchid, plum, and chrysanthemum in it.

"What a fragrant wine! Fellow Daoist Ji, your wine smells good. Does it have a name?"

"I personally like to call it a gentleman's bar."

"Gentleman's wine? Haha, then I have to try it."

Li Wang smacked his lips, Yan Buzhi smiled and caused a stream of wine to fall in front of him.

Li Wang also used his magic power, and a wine glass seemed to appear in his hand, but his magic power was concentrated, and he drank all the wine without spilling a drop, then raised his head and drank it.

"Good wine! Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum, a gentleman! It is indeed a gentleman's wine, and the wine really lives up to its name. But it's a pity that the brewing time is not long, right? Otherwise, if it lasts for several decades, the taste will probably be very mellow. "Li Wang said with a smile.

Yan Buzhi looked at the other three people and asked with a smile: "Do you fellow Taoists want to try it?"

"You have good intentions, no need to." A middle-aged man who looked about the same age as him smiled slightly and shook his head.

"Since Fellow Daoist Ji is so interested, I would also like to try it myself." An unattractive-looking woman in palace attire laughed, and Yan Buzhi also distributed a portion of wine and sent it over.

As for the last man in black who was wearing a hat and covering his face, he didn't speak. Yan Buzhi shrugged and took back the rest of the drink.

The woman in palace clothes closed her mouth and drank the wine, nodding slightly: "Although it is not a fine wine, I can see that Ji Daoyou also has his own unique insights into wine making. This wine is good, and it would be even better if it was brewed with spiritual materials."

"Hahaha, how can I have the luxury to use spiritual materials?" Yan Buzhi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Now that I've drunk wine, I'm in red jade, so I thank you, Taoist Fellow Ji."

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Zhu." Yan Buzhi smiled.

Now that they were acquainted, the three of them would chat a little more from time to time during the rest of the journey.

Although Zhu Yu and the middle-aged casual cultivator Zheng Xian don't like to talk about their own affairs, they know very well about the big and small things in Gen Dao.

"The dynasty of Gen Dao Realm is different from other dynasties of other realms, because there are only so many places where people can live, excluding those savages, so there is a town almost every ten miles on the Xiaguang Grassland, which is very crowded." Zhu Yu said with a smile.

"It's not incomprehensible, but with so many mountains and forests in Gen Dao, can't we open up more land?" Yan Buzhi asked curiously.

"Hey, firstly, because the mountains and forests are barren and there are snakes, insects and beasts, they are not suitable for mortals to live in; secondly, there are many monsters in these mountains, and there are not a few who like to eat mortals."

"monster!"

Yan Buzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at the people: "Could it be that the Wang family invites you here this time... just to guard against monsters?"

"Yes, this monster is no better than a rare abnormal beast. Monsters of any kind can give birth to monster energy and then transform into monsters. But for most monsters, humans are their favorite food. Naturally, the same is true for monks. , powerful monsters will also target the monks, it is not that there are no masters in the Wang family, but since we dare to come, we are not afraid of them," Zheng Xian said with confidence.

Yan Buzhi fell silent.

I had never heard of the word monster in the Kun Dao realm before, because Yan Buzhi had never seen one before.

However, because most of Gendao's territory is covered with mountains and forests, it is not suitable for human habitation. Even if the monks are hiding in the mountains, they will not easily provoke those monsters.

These monsters may be transformed from snakes, insects, rats, and ants, or they may be flowers, plants, trees, or things that some people carry with them. There are also weird monsters born from the mysterious creation of heaven and earth. Naturally, they cannot be compared with abnormal beasts. Treat it the same way.

Although monsters and deformed beasts are very harmful to monks, monsters are actually smarter than deformed beasts, because monsters like to eat people, which will give birth to spiritual wisdom. But even if a monster eats tens of thousands of people, it is still a monster and has no brains.

This is what Yan Buzhi learned from reading some books on Gen Dao Realm. However, he has never encountered a monster in this place for so long, maybe because he often wanders around Fangshi.

This time I went on a long trip to Xiaguang Grassland. The journey was so far away and I didn’t know how many mountains I had to climb to get there. It was not safe along the way.

Yan Buji kept an eye on it and asked some basic information about the monsters: "I have never seen a monster since I started practicing. I wonder how powerful these monsters are?"

Li Wang laughed: "How powerful? We call spiritual materials, abnormal materials, and abnormal beasts these common things that are accessible to us. They are divided by the number of nine turns, but monsters are very different. Monsters naturally have spiritual intelligence. As a clan, they even have their own way of practice!”

"Monster Cultivation Method?!" Yan Buzhi's pupils shrank, and he cupped his hands and said, "Please ask Fellow Daoist Li to clear up the confusion."

"Hey, this is not a secret. The practice of monsters is the same as ours. They also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and absorb the brilliance of the sun and moon. Their strength is divided into nine levels from low to high, including small monsters, big monsters, monster generals, and monster kings. , corresponding to the nine realms of our monks.”

"But generally monsters can rely on their hard bodies to withstand monks' spells, and they also use some unique monster spells. Therefore, in a head-on fight, it only depends on the skill of the same level, but we are still inferior to the monsters." Li Wang said seriously. .

Yan Buzhi looked puzzled: "Then when we meet a little demon during the Qi Refining period, how can we tell whether the other party is stronger than us when we are in the middle stage of Qi Refining?"

Zhu Yu said with a smile: "It's simple. After the little demons transform, their demonic energy will not dissipate. At this time, their bodies will emit demonic aura, which is equivalent to the monks in the early stage of Qi refining. When their demonic aura turns into a whirlpool, they can be faintly noticed. If the spirit consciousness of monsters rotates, it is equivalent to a monk in the middle stage of Qi refining; if the monster energy becomes a lake and spreads out like a wave, it is equivalent to a small demon in the late stage of Qi refining. It is impossible to control the dispersion of its own monster energy, so just add more. Be careful and you can avoid accidents in time.”

"Oh, that's it. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhu, for clearing up the confusion." Yan Buzhi said with a smile.

"In addition, after killing monsters, you can also obtain spiritual materials from monsters. You only need to remove the monster energy to use them. Monster spiritual materials are also slightly more expensive than ordinary spiritual materials, but they are not as expensive as abnormal materials. Yes." Zheng Xian laughed.
