I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

"Peach Blossom Sword Seal!"

"When the sword emerges, it falls like peach blossoms, dazzling and unpredictable. It can transform into a hundred beams of sword light to cut and harm enemies, or condense into one sword to slay demons and break evil."

"The Sword Seal uses five hundred-year-old peach wood as spiritual materials, effective against all demons and evil cultivators in the world."

Gu Yuan picked up the Jade Scroll, and information about the Sword Seal automatically surfaced in his mind.

At first glance, this sword seemed ordinary, yet the brilliant and densely packed Sword Pattern left Gu Yuan unnerved.

This Sword Seal requires absolutely high comprehension.

Once mastered, it must have extraordinary destructive power, being an unequivocal Superior Dharma Seal!

"The elder is so generous, I can’t be stingy. These jade and iron tools, along with this Storage Bag, I shall gift to the elder."

Gu Yuan briefly examined the Sword Seal, then put it away, subsequently taking out a Storage Bag to hand to the White Old Ape.

The Storage Bags from Kuang Mingsheng and others he had slain earlier were sold off along with useless Dharma Artifacts, save for one or two that Gu Yuan kept in case of need.

The White Old Ape took the Storage Bag, looked through it, and promptly smiled.

With these items, the speed of mining and storing Spirit Stones will greatly increase.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The Golden-backed Ape beneath it gazed longingly at the Storage Bag in the White Old Ape’s hand, gesturing and moving about incessantly.

"Alright, alright, it’s yours, it’s yours!"

The White Old Ape smiled helplessly, then tossed the Storage Bag to the Golden-backed Ape.

The Golden-backed Ape cautiously caught it and then unleashed its Spiritual Sense, letting it settle on the Storage Bag.

"Buzz!"

The Storage Bag was instantly refined, emitting a soft glow.

"Swish!"

The Golden-backed Ape then aimed the Storage Bag at the scattered stones on the ground.

A flash of spiritual light, and the stones suddenly vanished.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The Golden-backed Ape rejoiced, grinning ear to ear in delight.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

It imitated the idea and placed all the items from the cavern into the bag, only to retrieve them repeatedly, thoroughly enjoying the process.

Seeing this, the White Old Ape gently padded the back of the Golden-backed Ape, then smiled apologetically at Gu Yuan: "The child has lived on Spiritual Crane Island since young, never venturing out. The island lacks resources, save for a handy Dharma Artifact the child has rarely seen others, making the Young Immortal laugh."

After all, Cyan Peak Daoist School is not a charity. It raises Spirit Beasts, providing them a place to live for resource gain, not truly for cultivating Spirit Beasts, naturally not equipped with Dharma Artifacts.

Thus, despite the Golden-backed Ape’s impressive capabilities, it hadn’t seen even the most basic Storage Bag until now.

Gu Yuan didn’t mock but rather sighed, "A child’s pure heart!"

This incident increased his affection for the Golden-backed Ape, feeling the creature was nothing but an immature child, simple and kind-hearted.

The White Old Ape, highly intuitive, sensed the rare sincerity in Gu Yuan’s words, and a smile emerged in its eyes.

It gently caressed the head of the Golden-backed Ape beneath it, then commanded, "Stop playing, set a feast to thank the Young Immortal!"

Upon hearing the White Old Ape’s words, the Golden-backed Ape reluctantly stored the Storage Bag, hiding it in its belly hair, before bowing to Gu Yuan with a grin.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Indeed like a child, the Golden-backed Ape, one Storage Bag made its previous dissatisfaction with Gu Yuan vanish, sincerely thanking him, with a very happy expression.

"No need for formality!"

Gu Yuan also bowed in return.

Seeing Gu Yuan reciprocate, the Golden-backed Ape grew even happier, bowing twice more to Gu Yuan, afterward waking the Golden-backed Ape on the ground with a slap, then pointed to the wine jar and Spirit Fruit on the ground, and then at Gu Yuan.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

This Golden-backed Ape had just emerged from a coma, still somewhat dazed, yet dared not disobey the leader, cautiously lifting the wine jar and Spirit Fruit and presenting them to Gu Yuan.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

Deep in the cavern, the low-grade Spiritual Apes swarmed in, unaware of where they fetched a stone stool and table, placing them before Gu Yuan, and arranging the wine and fruit neatly.

Some clever ones found a willow twig, diligently cleaning the stone stool, and fawningly invited Gu Yuan to sit down.

Gu Yuan wasn’t shy, raised the wine jar, and drank generously.

"Excellent wine!"

A rich fruity aroma accompanied by profound wine qi flowed from throat to abdomen, invigorating Gu Yuan, warming his entire body, making him feel extremely comfortable, and he couldn’t help praising aloud.

Moreover, a dominating Spiritual Qi surged from the Dantian, causing his Mana to pulsate incessantly, unexpectedly increasing slightly.

"Worthy of renowned wine in Daoist School’s Treasure Record, truly extraordinary!"

Gu Yuan’s cheeks turned slightly red, but his breath grew heavier, and he couldn’t help praising again.

This wine was strong yet fragrant, as if a hundred kinds of spirit fruits simultaneously exploded in his mouth, an indescribable delight.

Unable to resist, Gu Yuan drank several more mouthfuls.

The White Old Ape saw and couldn’t stop laughing, quite delighted.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The Double-Pupil Golden-Backed Ape mischievously carried a fiery red wine jar, handing it to Gu Yuan.

It kept making faces at him, an extremely comical expression.

"What wine is this?"

A bit hesitant, Gu Yuan asked.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

But the Double-Pupil Golden-Backed doesn’t answer, only persistently pushing the wine jar into his hand.

Gu Yuan looked up at the White Old Ape, but the old ape merely chuckled without answering.

Left with no choice, Gu Yuan took a sip.

"Boom!"

An overwhelmingly fierce heat stream surged into Gu Yuan’s stomach, his blood circulation suddenly accelerated.

"This is..."

Gu Yuan found himself caught between laughter and tears.

The seemingly sincere Golden-Backed Ape could craft such aggressive and strange wine, a real surprise.

Gu Yuan’s eyes lit up, yet he kept saying, "Can’t drink anymore, can’t drink anymore!"

He waved his hands repeatedly, signaling the Double-Pupil Golden-Backed Ape to stop persuading, yet this wine seemed to have grown eyes, automatically flying out from the jar, continually pouring into Gu Yuan’s mouth.

In just a blink, a jar of wine was fully consumed by Gu Yuan alone.

"Hic!"

Gu Yuan burped contentedly, his face deeply flushed.

As for the Double-Pupil Golden-Backed Ape, holding the empty jar, it looked utterly surprised.

"Phew phew!"

Turning the jar upside down, shaking it vigorously, yet nothing came out.

It instantly wore a look of grievance.

The White Old Ape laughed heartily.

Behind the waterfall curtain, humans and apes gathered, concluding a crude banquet in a cheerfully lively manner.
