144: Qi Tianer?

"Keeping up with the times, right!" Wei Xun smiled at the Monkey King, "Then, Monkey King, what's your name?"

"Me?"

The Monkey King tilted his head and pondered for a moment.

"If you hadn't asked me, I would have almost forgotten."

"You can forget your name?" Wei Xun was a bit puzzled.

"It's just that no one has called me by that name for a long time. These little Yao Beasts in the mountain call me Great King every day, so much so that I almost forgot."

"Forget it then!" Wei Xun didn't ask further and prepared to leave.

"I remember!" The Monkey King slowly said, "When I was still a Yao Beast, I was raised by a human for a period of time. He gave me the name 'Qitian'er'!"

Upon hearing that name, Wei Xun was stunned, and his half-stepped stride halted.

"Qitian'er?"

"Yes!" The Monkey King nodded.

"May I ask presumptuously!" Wei Xun turned around and asked the Monkey King, "How old are you?"

"If I calculate, I'm almost six hundred and something, nearly seven hundred, I suppose!" The Monkey King mused.

"Over six hundred years old?" Hearing this answer, Wei Xun's mind involuntarily recalled the person mentioned by those Seniors in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

The time frame also pointed to six hundred years ago.

Could it be the same person?

In this world, the lifespan of both Yao Beasts and humans is determined by their Cultivation Realm.

According to the description in the Demon Cultivation Mind Technique.

Ordinary wild beasts only live for twenty to thirty years. After Breakthrough to Spirit Beast, they have a lifespan of seventy to eighty years.

Yao Beasts can only live for a little over a hundred years at most.

After transforming into a Yao and reaching the Body Tempering Realm, their lifespan is one hundred eighty to ninety years.

Pure Yang Realm is two to three hundred years.

After Cultivating to the Scattered Core Realm, the lifespan increases to five to six hundred years.

The Monkey King is currently in the Scattered Core Realm, and having lived over six hundred years, he is already nearing his limit.

If he wants to continue living, he can only Breakthrough his Realm.

After Cultivating to the Golden Core Realm, the lifespan will increase to over a thousand years.

Upon reaching the Soul Transformation Realm, one has a lifespan of over three thousand years.

And to achieve eternal life, one can only Undergoing Tribulation to Immortal Ascension.

If one cannot Breakthrough, they can only rely on Spirit Pills or some treasures to extend their lifespan.

However, these methods have an upper limit and cannot be continuously stacked.

"Don't worry!" At this moment, the Monkey King said with a smile, "It shouldn't be a problem for this old Monkey to live for another hundred years or so. Eating these Spirit Peaches can prolong life."

"Then I wish you, Monkey King, a lifespan of a thousand years!" Wei Xun cupped his fists and raised them.

"May your words bring good fortune!" The Monkey King waved his hand with a smile and said, "You have matters to attend to, so go ahead. This mountain is very chaotic right now, and I still need to take time to properly reorganize it."

"Then, Monkey King, I shall take my leave!"

After speaking, Wei Xun activated Shadowless Step, leaped from the mountaintop, and then, treading on the treetops, began descending the mountain.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Wei Xun looked back at Lingtao Mountain behind him and then let out a long sigh.

This trip to Lingtao Mountain was truly full of twists and turns; he had fought more battles in one day than he had in several months.

"Si Niang!"

Wei Xun called out as he quickly made his way towards Jiaolong Lake.

The fight on the mountain earlier was too intense, and he hadn't had time to check on Si Niang under his clothes.

Only then did he realize that Si Niang hadn't moved for a long time.

After calling out, he received no response from Si Niang, which made Wei Xun a little worried.

So he immediately stopped, then reached into his clothes to take Si Niang out, only to find that Si Niang had actually fainted.

"What's going on?"

Wei Xun was a bit puzzled and couldn't help but worry.

"Could it be that Si Niang was accidentally injured during the battle just now?"

Wei Xun frowned, recalling the details of the battle just now.

However, he immediately dismissed this idea because he had the Golden Light Technique protecting his body.

But then Wei Xun was suddenly startled; this Golden Light Technique indeed protects him when he is about to suffer a heavy blow.

However, moderate force injuries cannot trigger the Golden Light shield.

Earlier, when he and the Monkey King were ambushing the Scorpion Demon, he was struck by a palm attack from a distance by the Scorpion Demon, and it didn't trigger the Golden Light shield.

At the time, he felt a pain in his chest, but he didn't think much of it.

It seemed that Si Niang was injured and fainted after being hit by that palm strike.

"Si Niang, wake up quickly!" Wei Xun held Si Niang, his eyes filled with anxiety.

At this moment, Si Niang still maintained her small black snake form, and Wei Xun didn't know where to press to perform CPR on Si Niang.

Now Si Niang only had a faint breath, and it seemed her condition was very bad.

"What should I do?"

Wei Xun's mind was in a mess at this moment; eating Spirit Peaches and such was useless in an injured state.

"Golden Light Technique!"

Wei Xun suddenly remembered this, then his palm glowed as he shone it towards Si Niang.

However, it had no effect.

The Golden Light Technique Cultivation Technique can only heal external wounds and promote rapid recovery.

Si Niang was clearly suffering from internal injuries.

"Right, there's also this!"

Wei Xun flipped his hand and took out the small bottle he had previously obtained from the bat.

Holding the bottle, Wei Xun recalled.

"extremely blood spirit essence!"

"No matter how severe the injury, as long as there's still a breath left."

"Drinking the whole bottle can save a life."

Remembering the words of the Bat Demon, Wei Xun immediately opened the bottle and fed it to Si Niang's mouth.

"I hope this stuff really works!"

Wei Xun took a deep breath, pried open Si Niang's snake mouth, and then fed the extremely blood spirit essence from the bottle into her.

After Si Niang had completely swallowed the extremely blood spirit essence from the small bottle, Wei Xun held Si Niang and waited anxiously on the spot.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Wei Xun continuously prayed to the heavens.

Si Niang currently only had the strength of Forging Body Second Layer, and after transforming into a small snake, Si Niang's defensive power would naturally be greatly weakened.

And that Scorpion Demon had the strength of Pure Yang Realm Layer 3.

A palm strike from that distance almost injured Wei Xun, let alone Si Niang.

After a long wait, Si Niang, who was curled up in Wei Xun's hand, finally stirred.

This immediately excited Wei Xun.

"Si Niang, can you hear me?"

Si Niang seemed to hear Wei Xun's voice, then slowly opened an eye, immediately followed by her entire body being enveloped in white light, before transforming into her human form and being held in Wei Xun's arms.

"Big Brother, my body hurts so much!"

Si Niang spoke, but her voice was very weak.

"It's okay, you're safe now!" Wei Xun comforted Si Niang, holding her head.

"Big Brother, I'm so thirsty!"

Upon hearing Si Niang's words, Wei Xun immediately flipped his hand and took out a gourd filled with water.

Wei Xun opened the gourd and fed it to Si Niang's mouth.

Si Niang took a few sips but then shook her head.

"No, why does this taste so strange?"

Si Niang frowned and began to cough.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Wei Xun took a sip from the gourd himself, but found that there was nothing wrong with the water.

But at this moment, Si Niang noticed a trace of blood on Wei Xun's cheek.

This was residue from the recent battle that Wei Xun hadn't wiped away.

Si Niang's eyes lit up when she saw this trace of blood, and then she instinctively reached out and licked it.
