Chapter 123: Mysterious token
“Over the past few years, the Purple Source Berries have been different from usual. There has been way more than normal, they have become palm sized, and they are a much deeper purple colour. You can directly take them, you can also take as many as you want.” The Purple Thunder Monkey King said before sitting down to the side.
Ye Yu Xi took twenty Purple Source Berries and did not take any more. Although the Purple Source Berries were good things, from Bai Jin Yi’s explanation from before, she knew that people could increase their physique by taking one and taking any more would not have any use.
“How about we make a deal?” Ye Yu Xi walked in front of the Purple Thunder Monkey King and took out a white jade bottle.
The Purple Thunder Monkey King took the white jade bottle and sniffed it after opening it. That furry face revealed a joyful expression as his voice became more intimate, “What trade does the miss want to make?”
“If there is a need in the future, I want to use pills to trade for these Purple Source Berries.” Ye Yu Xi told them her idea. According to what Bai Jin Yi said, these Purple Source Berries could change normal people’s physiques, so she could implement her plan ahead of time.
Of course, Ye Yu Xi knew that the Purple Thunder Monkey King would not reject. She could see from the Purple Thunder Monkey King’s previous injuries that the monkey clan did not have many medicines or pills, otherwise as the king of the clan, it would not ignore its injuries.
The Purple Thunder Monkey King placed an Origin Returning Pill into its mouth and the gentle medicinal power nourished his injuries. His injuries had mostly healed after a while. The second grade restorative pill really wasn’t normal!
Feeling the effects of the pill, the Purple Thunder Monkey King directly agreed to the trace. The Purple Thunder Monkey King summoned the elder to its side and said, “From now on, this young miss is our tribe’s honoured guest. Tell all the tribe members that they cannot be rude when meeting the young miss or her comrades.”
While Ye Yu Xi and the Purple Thunder Monkey King were making this trade, Bai Jin Yi walked around having nothing to do. The bottom of the cliff was not sealed off, but there were a few paths covered in dense purple fog. One couldn’t see it there were Purple Source Berry trees growing there at all.
When Bai Jin Yi came back, there was an extra thing in his hand.
“I just picked this up at the exit.” Bai Jin Yi gave Ye Yu Xi a token.
Ye Yu Xi took it. It was very light when it came into her hands and there was a “Ming” word written on one side with a moon drawn on the other side. She raised the token and carefully looked at the token’s material, before looking at Bai Jin Yi, “Cloud Wood, Mingyue Sect?” Ye Yu Xi did not know why the name “Mingyue Sect” suddenly popped up in her head.
Bai Jin Yi smartly chose to play dumb, with a look of “I don’t know” on his face.
Ye Yu Xi put away the token and asked the Purple Thunder Monkey King with an excited look, “How were you injured before?”
The Purple Thunder Monkey King considered it and replied, “A day ago, some people came close whether unknowingly or guided by something. It could be because of the purple mist guarding this place that they didn’t explore too deeply. In order to protect the secret of our monkey tribe, I attacked them. I injured one of them and a high cultivation old man of their group injured me.”
“This token was dropped by them?”
“It should be. There’s almost no one that comes here and there are only occasionally a few spirit beasts. The task of every generation monkey king is to protect the Purple Source Berries inside this valley. When the monkey elder dies, I will become the monkey elder and there will be a new king to guard this place.” The monkey king had been guarding this dark valley for half his life. There was no resentment in his voice, rather it was filled with pride.
