176: Chapter 176 Iron Egg Divine Monkey

"Where did the strongest humans used to live?" Chu Feng continued to ask.

"It is said that in the depths of the Tianqi Secret Realm, there is an Imperial Palace, which was the residence of ancient human powerhouses."

"But that place is too dangerous. Several Heaven Yao are entrenched around it, and no one dares to approach."

"There are also several ancient battlefields. It's said that traces of the great wars from back then still remain. Treasure light often soars into the sky there, but it is equally perilous. Most people who go there never return."

"Imperial Palace... ancient battlefields..." Chu Feng silently noted this information.

"My... My Lord..."

The Godly Arm-through Monkey looked at Chu Feng cautiously. "I've told you everything I know. Could you... spare my life?"

Chu Feng looked down at the dying Yao Beast beneath his feet.

Its eyes were full of fear and supplication, completely devoid of its previous ferocity.

"You wanted to kill my brother just now," Chu Feng said indifferently.

"I... I was wrong!"

The Godly Arm-through Monkey hurriedly begged for mercy. "I was blind to have offended My Lord! I am willing to be your slave and servant, to serve by My Lord's side!"

"I have lived in this forest for thousands of years and know every blade of grass and every tree like the back of my hand. I can lead the way for My Lord and help you avoid danger!"

Chu Feng didn't answer immediately but turned to look at Tang An in the distance. "What do you think?"

Tang An was stunned for a moment, then walked over quickly, sizing up the Godly Arm-through Monkey.

After a while, he scratched his head. "Brother Feng, is this... thing useful to keep?"

"Leading the way will definitely be useful."

Chu Feng said, "And its strength is decent. If we subdue it, it can be considered an asset."

"Then..." Tang An thought for a bit, "how about we keep it? But we have to control it so it doesn't turn on us."

Chu Feng nodded and looked back at the Godly Arm-through Monkey. "I can plant a Restriction inside your body."

"If you serve us honestly, I will naturally lift the Restriction and set you free when I leave this world."

"But if you harbor ill intentions, with just a thought from me, your body and soul will be extinguished."

"I'm willing! I'm willing!" The Godly Arm-through Monkey nodded repeatedly, fearing Chu Feng would change his mind.

Chu Feng raised his hand, his fingers forming a profound hand seal.

Spiritual light flowed at his fingertips, condensing into fine runes.

Those runes squirmed like living things, eventually intertwining into a complex Restriction pattern.

"Go!!!"

Chu Feng gave a low shout, and the Restriction pattern turned into a streak of light, sinking into the Godly Arm-through Monkey's forehead.

The Godly Arm-through Monkey's whole body trembled as it felt a mysterious mass of power enter its mind.

That power hung above its Divine Soul like a sword over its head, ready to fall at any moment.

"Alright."

Chu Feng withdrew his foot. "Get up."

The Godly Arm-through Monkey struggled to climb up and knelt respectfully before Chu Feng. "Thank you, Master, for sparing my life! This little Yao is named Tiedan. From now on, I am willing to go through fire and water for Master without hesitation!"

"Tiedan?"

"Tiedan the Godly Monkey?"

Chu Feng nodded and casually tossed out a bottle of Medicinal Pills. "Stand up and talk. Heal your wounds first, then take us deep into this Tianniu Forest to have a look."

"Yes!" Tiedan responded, took out a Medicinal Pill and swallowed it, then sat cross-legged to circulate its Yao power for healing.

Tang An leaned in and whispered, "Brother Feng, what kind of Restriction did you put on it? Is it reliable?"

"My self-created Five Elements Thunder Restriction."

Chu Feng said, "Using the Five Elements Power as the foundation and Power of Thunder as the catalyst, it is planted upon the Divine Soul."

"If it dares to have any crooked thoughts, with just a flick of my will, the Restriction will trigger the thunder and blast its Divine Soul into dust."

"Holy crap! That's awesome!!" Tang An gasped.

About half an hour later, Tiedan finished healing.

Although its injuries were severe, the Yao Beast's Physique was powerful, and with the effect of the Earth Rank Spirit Pill, it had recovered about seventy to eighty percent.

It stood up and said respectfully to Chu Feng, "Master, we can set out. I wonder where Master would like to go?"

"First, tell me about the situation in this Tianniu Forest."

Chu Feng said, "What resources are there? What dangers? The more detailed, the better."

"Yes!" Tiedan responded and began to introduce the area in detail.

As it turned out, this Tianniu Forest spanned ten thousand miles and was the territory of the Azure Bull Python clan.

The Clan Chief of the Azure Bull Python clan was a Azure Bull Python who had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, named Tianniu.

He had thirteen Earth Demon subordinates who managed thirteen areas. Tiedan was one of them, responsible for an area near the edge of the forest.

Tianniu Forest was rich in resources, with several Spiritual Veins and a large number of Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicines growing there.

The most precious of them was a Heaven And Earth Treasure called the Tianniu Fruit.

It was said that this fruit bloomed once every thousand years, bore fruit once every thousand years, and ripened once every thousand years, and it was of great benefit to a Yao Beast's cultivation.

Tianniu, the Clan Chief of the Azure Bull Python clan, had reached his current level precisely because he monopolized a Tianniu Fruit Tree.

In addition to the Tianniu Fruit, there were several spiritual mines in the forest that produced Materials for Artifact Refining, such as Azure Gold Stone and Black Iron.

However, these places were guarded by Yao Beasts, and it was not easy to collect from them.

As for danger, the greatest danger was naturally Tianniu and his Yao Beast subordinates.

Furthermore, some solitary Earth Demon lived in the forest as well.

Although they had not submitted to Tianniu, they held their own ground in this forest, living in a state of mutual non-interference with the Azure Bull Python clan.

"Interesting."

After listening, Chu Feng said thoughtfully, "Where is that Tianniu Fruit Tree?"

"In the depths of the Sky Azure Bull-Python Valley. That is Tianniu's lair, and it's heavily guarded. Does Master want to go?" Tiedan said.

"If there's a chance, we can go take a look, but there's no rush now. First, take us to your Immortal Cave."

"Yes!" Tiedan responded and turned to lead the way.

The three of them moved through the dense forest.

Before long, a small hill appeared ahead.

The hill was covered with all kinds of exotic flowers and rare plants, colorful and quite beautiful.

"Master, this is this little Yao's Immortal Cave."

Tiedan pointed to the hill and said, "In my spare time, I've collected some Spirit Medicines and planted them here."

Chu Feng walked up the hill and carefully examined those Spirit Medicines.

Upon seeing them, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

The ages of these Spirit Medicines were actually extremely old!

A Dragon Blood Grass appeared to be at least thirty thousand years old.

A Nine-Leaf Lingzhi had leaves that had already turned deep purple, which was a sign of being over fifty thousand years old.

There was also a palm-sized ginseng that had grown to look like a baby, its features clearly visible. It was clearly the legendary 'Ginseng Baby,' and its age was at least over a hundred thousand years!

"These..."

Chu Feng took a deep breath. "You planted all of these?"

"Most of them were transplanted."

Tiedan answered honestly, "Some were originally growing here. This little Yao has lived in this area for over a thousand years and likes to tinker with these things when there's nothing else to do."

"However, I don't understand Alchemy, so these things are just for show. I only use a little bit occasionally when I'm injured."

Doesn't understand Alchemy...

Chu Feng felt speechless.

If these Spirit Medicines fell into the hands of a Heaven Alchemist, who knows how many Heaven Rank Medicinal Pills could be refined!

In the hands of this ape, they could only be used as ornamental plants and healing herbs. It was simply a waste of heavenly treasures!

However, this was exactly what he wanted.

"I want these Spirit Medicines," Chu Feng said directly.

"Master, please take whatever you need!"

Tiedan didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache; instead, he said eagerly, "Does Master want me to help harvest them?"

"No need."

Chu Feng waved his hand and took out a set of jade hoes, jade shovels, and jade boxes from his Storage Ring. He began to carefully dig up those Spirit Medicines by the roots and transplant them into the specially prepared jade boxes.

Tang An also came over to help.

Although he didn't understand Spirit Medicines, after following Chu Feng for so long, he had also learned some common knowledge and knew which things were precious.

The two of them were busy for an hour before they finished harvesting all the Spirit Medicines on the hill.

Chu Feng counted them; a total of thirty-seven Spirit Medicines had been harvested.

Among them, twelve were over ten thousand years old, five were over fifty thousand years old, and two were over a hundred thousand years old.

"We're rich, we're rich!"

Tang An couldn't stop smiling. "If we were to sell these, how many Spirit Stones would they be worth!"

"Spirit Stones?"

Chu Feng shook his head. "These things can't be bought with Spirit Stones at all. These are Heaven And Earth Treasures that can be sought but not easily found."

After harvesting the Spirit Medicines, Tiedan took the two of them to the place where he kept his treasures.

The cave was piled with various Ores, beast bones, and Yao cores, all accumulated over time.

Chu Feng checked them one by one.

Among those Ores were Azure Gold Stone, Black Iron, Red Copper, and even a small fist-sized piece of Heaven Rank Star Meteorite Iron!

Most of those beast bones were the bones of Earth Demon, which could be used for Artifact Refining.

There were also over a dozen Yao cores, all from Profound Yao. They weren't very useful to Chu Feng, but they could be used for Alchemy or setting up formations.

"I want these things too," Chu Feng said.

"Master, please take them!" Tiedan still didn't hesitate.

By now, the sky had gradually darkened, and the roars of beasts could be heard from the forest.

"Master, it's getting late," Tiedan said. "Should we rest for the night? There are more dangers in the forest at night, as some Yao Beasts specifically move during the night."

"Very well." Chu Feng nodded.

"Then this little Yao will go guard the entrance." After saying that, Tiedan went out and stood guard at the cave entrance.

Tang An sat down, leaned against the cave wall, and stretched lazily.

"Man, we've had quite a harvest today! Brother Feng, if we were to scour this entire Tianniu Forest, how many good things could we collect?"

Chu Feng sat cross-legged and began to close his eyes to regulate his breathing. "There are Heaven Yao in this Tianqi Secret Realm. We have to be careful."

"Got it."

Tang An nodded. "In any case, we'll keep a low profile. We'll grab what we can, and if we can't, we'll run."

Chu Feng smiled slightly and didn't say much more.

The night passed in silence.

The next morning, the three of them left the stone cave and continued deeper into the Tianniu Forest.

As they were walking, they suddenly heard a rumbling sound from the distance.

"Something's happening??" Tang An looked curiously in the direction of the sound.

Tiedan tilted his ear to listen, and his expression changed slightly. "Master, that direction... seems to be the territory of the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf."

"Three-Eyed Demon Wolf?"

"Yes."

Tiedan nodded. "The Three-Eyed Demon Wolf is a Level 9 Earth Demon, and its strength is even above mine. Anyone who can fight with it is probably no pushover."

Chu Feng pondered for a moment and stood up. "Let's go have a look."

The three of them concealed their auras and quietly made their way toward the sound of the fighting.

After walking for about ten miles, an open space appeared ahead.

In the center of the open space, there was a person and a wolf.

Except, the wolf was somewhat dead.
