The middle-aged man looked quite "shabby," with clothes full of tattered patches. At the moment, he was picking through plums on the ground, discarding the ones that were nearly rotten and only selecting the good ones.
At that moment, Lu Cailing felt her worldview being shaken.
Divine Fruits so powerful they defy the heavens, here to rot...
Even the village's rag picker could afford to be picky with Divine Fruits...
She suddenly realized that being a princess of the Six-Eared Macaque Tribe... she was actually the truly destitute one.
Following this, as she traveled onward, Lu Cailing became more and more numb with shock.
In this village, a single blade of grass... could slay a Venerable...
A ditch, where the water seemed to be of higher quality than that from the Divine Spring...
Before long, they arrived at the courtyard of Wu'er Xianting.
Lu Cailing was even more stupefied; she had thought the words "Yun Xi was here" written by that lady in a white dress marked the summit of the Great Way, but now, seeing these four characters "Wu'er Xianting"...
She could no longer imagine the realm of that senior.
She pushed open the gate and returned to the courtyard.
Gong Ya neatly arranged the cooking utensils and everything else.
"Master, I'll go find the rare animals!"
Qing Chen immediately volunteered.
Li Fan nodded and said,
By now, the rare animals found included Little Wolf, a little horse, Little Black Fish, Little Gold Bull, Little Red Bird, Little Turtle, and Little Kirin, making a total of seven kinds.
The Golden Core Realm was getting closer and closer...
"However, although this little monkey is related to the rare animals, finding clues is also a difficult task..."
Li Fan couldn't help but speak up.
The little monkey can't talk, so how would they know what the clue between it and the rare animals is?
It would probably be hard to find.
Hearing this, Lu Cailing's heart stirred. This senior wanted to find rare animals?
Although she didn't know what exactly these rare animals were, she thought that this... must be related to her father in some way.
She hurriedly tried to speak up, but she could only make the "squeak" sounds of a monkey.
Unable to express herself, she could only raise her right hand and point to the crimson bloodline on it.
Seeing the little monkey do this, Li Fan was puzzled and looked at the bloodline on the little monkey's hand... pondering.
The bloodline on this monkey's hand... looks like it was caused by being tied with a rope!
Could it be that this little monkey was tied up by someone?
Li Fan instantly had an epiphany; he felt like he... understood!
Why was this little monkey so intelligent, and why did it kneel upon meeting them?
Clearly, it... must have had interactions with humans before.
Trained by someone to kneel and the like...
So, upon seeing them, the little monkey instinctively knelt down!
Only this could explain it.
And training a monkey to kneel... that's something only circuses and the like would do!
Li Fan knew that circus animal performances were trained cruelly, involving whipping and starvation training...
This little monkey must have had a hard life in the past!!
Now, by lifting up the marks of abuse, was it trying to provide a clue?
Could it be that the rare animal was also captured by a circus?
As Li Fan thought about this, he felt a slight chill in his heart.
He had always loathed those who abused animals for selfish gain!
"Let's all go together. Saving the little monkey might be a bit of a hassle," he said.
He had pretty much guessed what was going on... with the circus having many people and strength in numbers, Qing Chen going alone might not be able to handle it!
Upon hearing this, the disciples were all thrilled.
"I was just thinking about practicing my hand!"
They were all quite eager; having just broken through to the Divine Monarch Realm, they needed combat to test their strength.
Immediately, everyone was armed and ready.
Qing Chen picked up his broom and was about to leave, but suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation...
He couldn't help but look towards a pile of firewood to one side, where a pitch-black Blazing Staff lay...
After thinking for a moment, Qing Chen went over and took the Blazing Staff with him!
"Let's go, we're setting off!"
I stayed up all night gaming yesterday, so I slept all day today, which made me late.
From now on, no more gaming for me. Stupid games, ruining my youth.
