Peach Blossom Divine Medical God Chapter 2143 - 2099: Cooperation

"You little brat, why are you so peculiar? Such a simple breathing technique, and it takes you this long to comprehend it? How did you muddle through to your current realm?" The elder looked at Chen Yang skeptically, examining him up and down.

Chen Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "Elder, I’ve been busy with other matters these days and haven’t had time to study it, so it got delayed. Please give me a few more days, and once I grasp it, I’ll return it to you immediately."

The elder was initially suspicious of Chen Yang’s claim of not comprehending it, but hearing Chen Yang’s explanation, he reluctantly believed him.

After all, he did have so many contribution coins.

Spending contribution coins instead of studying the breathing technique was possible.

"Alright, just remember to return it once you’re done. Every cultivation technique in the Sutra Pavilion is recorded. If it goes missing, it’ll be a big problem," the elder nodded, agreeing to Chen Yang’s request.

Chen Yang was delighted and quickly expressed his gratitude.

He was counting on that breathing technique to make money.

"Thank you, elder." Chen Yang said politely and then left the Sutra Pavilion.

Originally, after leaving the Sutra Pavilion, Chen Yang planned to return to his cave residence.

But on second thought, it wasn’t feasible.

Not to mention whether Jiang Yixue would continue to pester him, if she was around, he couldn’t communicate with the little monkey, let alone use the Purple Demon Fierce Fire to refine Spirit Qi Liquid.

"It’s better to head into the mountains, find a hidden cave where no one will find us."

Chen Yang paused, pondering briefly, then turned towards the forest.

However, the place he headed to wasn’t the Ferocious Beast Forest.

Because at this time, the search in the Ferocious Beast Forest was still ongoing, going there to refine elixirs with Purple Demon Fierce Fire would only be asking for trouble.

He was very astute.

Knowing that most of the academy’s students had gone to the Ferocious Beast Forest, he headed in the opposite direction towards a high mountain range.

The mountains around the academy varied in height.

Only the Ferocious Beast Forest stretched nearly a thousand miles, teeming with demon beasts, and was more famous.

The other smaller mountains weren’t low in terrain; they just covered a smaller range, housing only some small demon beasts and weren’t well-known.

To the entire academy, this mountain range was more like a natural scenic spot.

Upon leaving the academy, Chen Yang quickly climbed the mountain, and after some searching, indeed found a hidden cave near a high cliff.

The cave entrance was narrow, and the inside wasn’t spacious, around thirty square meters.

But this was more than enough for alchemy.

A space this size was entirely sufficient.

"This is it."

Chen Yang nodded, very satisfied with the surrounding space.

Then he immediately opened the lid of the Purple Gold Gourd and let the little monkey out.

The little monkey was still in the same state, curled into a ball, improving its cultivation.

Previously, its cultivation had been improving very rapidly.

Now, it had slowed down.

After an entire day and night, it had just advanced from the later stages of Gathering Spirit to the realm of Great Perfection in Gathering Spirit.

Though normally, this was already lightning fast; anyone who heard of it would be shocked.

But compared to this little guy’s speed a few days ago, it was indeed a snail’s pace.

"Looks like even you have limits, and can’t mindlessly keep improving; I thought Fighting Fierce Monkeys were so monstrous, being born ready to become powerful beings." Chen Yang speculated.

=Ji ji!

As Chen Yang spoke, the little monkey had already woken up.

Standing in front of Chen Yang, it called twice, seemingly dissatisfied with being called out again.

It also seemed to be asking why it was summoned out.

"Hehe, I called you to give you something nice." Chen Yang snickered, appearing crafty.

The little monkey was amusing.

Seeing Chen Yang’s expression, it immediately crossed its arms in front of itself.

It showed a wary expression, as if Chen Yang was about to do something to it.

This amused Chen Yang so much he couldn’t help but laugh.

"You little guy, what’s with this expression?" Chen Yang teased and then took out a bottle of Spirit Qi Liquid he had bought from the Treasure Pavilion from the Purple Gold Gourd.

Opening the bottle, a rich herbal fragrance mixed with a thick spiritual energy aroma filled the air, making one feel very comfortable.

Upon smelling this scent, the little monkey’s eyes noticeably brightened.

"Me!"

The little monkey didn’t even bother chattering, immediately sent a thought to Chen Yang.

One word, me.

The meaning was clear; it wanted to drink the Spirit Qi Liquid from Chen Yang’s hand.

"Here, take it." Chen Yang had intended to give it to the monkey, so without the slightest hesitation, he handed it over.

Gulp, gulp.

The little monkey took the Spirit Qi Liquid and immediately drank it down in one go.

After drinking, it was still unsatisfied and gazed longingly at Chen Yang.

Seeing the little monkey’s expression, Chen Yang couldn’t help but grin.

This was precisely the effect he was hoping for!

"Little guy, want more?"

Chen Yang asked, even though he already knew the answer.

Ji ji!!

The little monkey nodded without hesitation, indicating it wanted more Spirit Qi Liquid.

"I don’t have more Spirit Qi Liquid, but I have a way for you to have a constant supply." Seeing the little monkey take the bait, Chen Yang immediately started coaxing.

The little monkey gave Chen Yang a confused look.

It seemed to be asking Chen Yang what the plan was.

"I have a recipe to refine Spirit Qi Liquid! However, to refine Spirit Qi Liquid, there’s a prerequisite; it requires Beast Spirit Fire!"

"So, I’d like to borrow your Beast Spirit Fire. If we successfully refine the Spirit Qi Liquid, I won’t leave you out; you’ll get a third of it."

"Do you think this cooperation is fair? It won’t cost you much, just a bit of fire-spitting."

Chen Yang didn’t hesitate and directly offered.

Ji ji!!

He thought that such a good deal, the little monkey would surely not refuse and would agree decisively.

But who would have thought that as soon as the Beast Spirit Fire was mentioned, the little monkey’s expression changed, and it shook its head in refusal even before listening to Chen Yang’s proposal.

It seemed completely uninterested in this cooperation.

Chen Yang furrowed his brows; this was an unexpected outcome for him.

"Little guy, why not? Just a little fire-spitting, very simple. The Spirit Qi Liquid could significantly boost your power," Chen Yang persistently persuaded.

But no matter what Chen Yang said, this little creature just wouldn’t agree.

In the end, Chen Yang had no choice but to use his last resort.

Raise the offer!

From a third share, he directly changed it to an even fifty-fifty split!

This tactic, Chen Yang employed with a trial mindset.

Yet, it was beyond expectation.

As soon as the fifty-fifty split was mentioned, the little guy agreed without a second thought!

Darn.

Chen Yang was dumbfounded right then and there.

"You... you just agreed?" Chen Yang looked bewildered.

Ji ji!

The little monkey nodded again, its face full of smugness!

Darn!

Instantly, Chen Yang’s face darkened.

He realized that the resolute demeanor earlier was just the little guy’s act.

All to make him raise the offer.

No wonder they call monkeys crafty.

This newborn little monkey was already so sly, how would it be as an adult?

Chen Yang’s face was gloomy, being tricked by a newborn monkey, who could understand that feeling?

But it is what it is.

Without the little monkey’s Purple Demon Fierce Fire, he wouldn’t be able to refine Spirit Qi Liquid.

Fifty-fifty split it is, then.

"You little rascal, truly crafty. Born like this, what will you become?" Chen Yang couldn’t help but remark.

The monkey chirped a pleased giggle, its face full of smugness.
