45: Enlighten the monkey and prepare to take out the ginseng

"What the heck?!"

Su Can was dumbfounded by the monkey's reaction.

This guy… fainted from fright?

Su Can was utterly speechless. He patted the monkey's face and called out, "Hey, wake up, wake up!"

"I'm not going to kill you, wake up, hurry and wake up!"

The monkey indeed jolted awake, as if saying, "Huh? Not killing me? Are you really not killing me?"

Su Can didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He brought his finger closer to the monkey, and the fluctuation of energy essence instantly became several times clearer.

The monkey was already a primate. It had only been temporarily confused by fear, thinking Su Can wanted to kill it, which was why it hadn't felt the benefits of the energy essence.

Now, with the sudden proximity, the special energy fluctuation instantly gave the monkey a fatal attraction, making it forget its fear.

Its nose twitched, and its eyes showed an expression of wild delight.

When Su Can moved his finger away, it immediately stretched its head, reluctantly following Su Can's finger, even putting life and death aside.

"Squeak, squeak…"

The monkey cried out anxiously, its eyes staring at Su Can's finger with immense longing, then back and forth at Su Can, as if pleading.

"Looks like you're not too stupid after all!"

Su Can smiled faintly, no longer teasing it. He flicked his finger, and a stream of energy entered the monkey's body, then he put it down.

When the energy entered its body, the monkey's body first stiffened.

Then, as if electrocuted, its entire body began to tremble, and the amplitude of the trembling grew larger and larger.

Suddenly, it let out a sharp "squeak," and all its bones and fur creaked. Its body height increased by half a finger.

Its originally dry and messy gray fur now became shiny and smooth, full of texture.

And its eyes, too, became bright and clear, with a liveliness that was many times more intense than before.

"Squeak, squeak~!"

After absorbing the energy, the monkey's intelligence greatly opened up. It excitedly showed goodwill towards Su Can, gesturing back and forth with its two paws.

Then, its figure darted away like lightning.

Woof!

Dahuang was startled by this, then immediately became annoyed and was about to give chase.

"Dahuang, come back."

Su Can stopped Dahuang's movement, his gaze deep as he watched the departing monkey.

He had a hunch that the monkey wasn't running away after getting a benefit, but rather wanted to bring something to show goodwill and curry favor with him.

Sure enough, the monkey left quickly and returned just as quickly.

It soon reappeared from the other side of the stone forest, chattering excitedly as it ran back to Su Can.

Su Can noticed that it seemed to be holding something in its paw.

"Squeak, squeak!!"

When the monkey came before him, extended its paw, and revealed a wild ginseng, offering it to Su Can, Su Can was stunned.

wild ginseng!

This monkey actually found wild ginseng!

Damn!

Su Can didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

wild ginseng, a priceless item. This was the second time he had seen it today.

But the wild ginseng in the monkey's hand right now was a bit gruesome.

The root tendrils were broken, cracked, and damaged.

"What a waste, what a waste!"

Su Can took the wild ginseng and examined it. He nearly choked, it was so battered and bruised. Its value must have been reduced by at least eighty percent!

"Never mind, never mind. Let me first see how old it is."

Su Can looked at the monkey, which was somewhat shrinking its neck, like a child who had made a mistake and was at a loss. He sighed and picked up the ginseng to study it.

"Good, good. It's not very old, only about ten years."

"Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful! Come with me!"

Su Can glared at the monkey in annoyance, then turned and walked back in the direction they came from.

The monkey squeaked, turned its head to glance towards Monkey Cliff, then looked at Dahuang, and then, with another turn of its head, followed behind Su Can.

Now it was Dahuang's turn to be dumbfounded.

He turned his head to look at the mountain, then turned his head back to look at Su Can, utterly confused.

Didn't they say they would find him a companion?

What was going on? They hadn't even found a companion yet, and they were already going back?

He was still waiting to flirt with a female wolf…

"What are you spacing out for? Let's go, home!"

From afar, Su Can's voice came, completely shattering Dahuang's dream of love.

Dahuang looked back every three steps, following behind Su Can with a dejected expression…

The monkey, on the other hand, was very excited. Its body had transformed, and its intelligence had greatly opened up. It chattered all the way, constantly pulling Dahuang's ear and gesturing.

"Woof!"

Dahuang was very impatient, rolled his eyes, and with a leap, ran ahead, too lazy to communicate with it.

"Alright, you two, stop messing around. We need to hurry back!"

Su Can watched them playing around, then scolded them in a low voice, and his pace suddenly quickened.

Seeing this, the monkey also dared not fool around and ran quickly behind them.

After running for a while, the monkey's speed became slower and slower, gradually falling behind.

"Dahuang, carry it. We're in a hurry to get back!"

Su Can glanced at the somewhat exhausted monkey and told Dahuang.

After all, it had only just been enlightened, and its body was still undergoing subtle transformation.

Moreover, the monkey's attributes were agility and flexibility. Straight-line running was a weakness, and with a little effort, this shortcoming became apparent.

"Awoo!"

When Dahuang heard Su Can tell him to carry the monkey, although he was a hundred times unwilling, he still did as he was told.

He growled angrily at the monkey a few times, urging it to get on quickly.

The monkey, excited, leaped onto Dahuang's back, wrapping its paws around Dahuang's neck, and occasionally squeaking into Dahuang's ear, not knowing what they were communicating.

In any case, as they went along, Dahuang's reluctance became less and less.

Back home, Su Can checked his phone. It was just past four o'clock.

"There's just one more bus to Yun City. Dahuang, you two stay home and guard the door properly. Don't you dare fight!"

"Do you hear me?"

Su Can instructed the dog and the monkey.

"Woof, woof!"

"Squeak, squeak!"

The dog and the monkey responded obediently.

Only then did Su Can feel relieved, picking up the urea bag and heading out the door.

At a little past four in the mountain village, many people had already started lighting fires to cook.

So, besides some half-grown children from the village, there were basically no adults on the roadside.

"Brother Su Can! Going to the city again?"

"Brother Su Can, when did you come back? Next time you come back, bring us some delicious things from the city, okay?"

A few half-grown children saw Su Can, and two of the more lively ones boldly called out.

Su Can chuckled, "Alright, alright, alright. Next time I come back from the city, I'll remember to bring you some delicious things. Hurry home, dinner is about to start."

"Alright, thank you, Brother Can!"

"Thank you, Brother Can!"

The half-grown children said excitedly, waving to Su Can, and playfully ran towards their homes.

Su Can smiled and quickly ran towards the village entrance.

After waiting for about five or six minutes at the village entrance, the last bus finally arrived.

Twenty minutes later.

Su Can arrived in Yun City.

Clutching the urea bag tightly, he hailed a taxi and headed straight for Yun City's largest pharmacy.

To sell wild ginseng, one had to go to a reputable large pharmacy. This provided more assurance and saved a lot of trouble.

Moreover, large pharmacies had easier cash flow, unlike smaller pharmacies where, even if they bought it, if the value was too high, it would be difficult for them to get the funds in place quickly.
