The Dragon Blooded Horse was standing by the lake, gulping down the wine. On the other hand, the Demonic Monkey King was hanging on a thick stalactite, grimacing while scratching its head anxiously.
But it was wounded and did not dare to fight the Dragon Blooded Horse. In the end, it could only throw rocks at the Dragon Blooded Horse.
Whoosh!
When the rocks flew over, the Dragon Blooded Horse was briefly stunned before dodging the rocks easily. Raising its head, the Dragon Blooded Horse grinned at the Demonic Monkey King, looking idiotic with its broken tooth.
Looking at the Dragon Blooded Horse, there was nothing the Demonic Monkey King could do except hammering its chest.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Demonic Monkey King could only keep throwing the stones, which the Dragon Blooded Horse easily dodged them and continued gulping down the monkey wine. It looked relaxed, and whenever it was in the mood, it would mess with the Demonic Monkey King.
When Lin Yun saw this scene, he wore a smile on his face.
Monkey Wine!
Legend said that the Monkey Wine was produced by the Primordial Spiritual Ape, made with all sorts of fruits found in the mountain, famed for the taste and aroma. Furthermore, it was also beneficial to cultivators. It can strengthen the physique, cultivation, and senses. It was the favorite among wine lovers.
But it was a pity that only the monkey clan knows how to brew them. The humans couldn’t brew it no matter how much they learned. Not all monkeys know how to brew them, and only those who had woken their ancestor’s memory. But it was rare for any monkey to wake the memories in their bloodline.
Hanging on the colossal stalactite, the Demonic Monkey King panicked when it saw Lin Yun.
Lin Yun responded with a smile. He did not have any intention of killing the Demonic Monkey King. After all, it was a pity to kill one that knew how to brew the monkey wine.
On the other hand, the Dragon Blooded Horse had no idea that Lin Yun had come. Reddie had gotten drunk from the wine and collapsed onto the ground.
Lin Yun swept his glance around and saw a few wine cups on the side, which the monkeys must have robbed cultivators for it.
Picking up the cup, Lin Yun took a scoop and drank it down. When the wine entered his lips, it tasted sweet and refreshing, leaving a fragrance in his mouth. Even after he swallowed it down, the wine still lingered in his mouth.
Without noticing, Lin Yun had drunk five cups. But when he wanted to have the sixth cup, he suddenly felt dizzy. His face had turned red from the alcohol and he was shocked.
“What a strong kick!” Lin Yun shook his head to clear his mind. He had gotten intoxicated without him knowing.
Fwoosh!
Suddenly, a warm current burst out in his body and traveled throughout his body. When the warm current coursed through his body, it felt terrific. At this same time, his aura also began to surge.
He had crossed the Third Orifice of the Xiantian Realm into the fourth. As mist came out from his body, the intoxication Lin Yun felt from the alcohol disappeared.
“I…broke through?” Lin Yun was baffled. He never expected that the monkey wine would have such a miraculous effect.
But the monkey wine wasn’t the actual reason why he made a breakthrough. If anyone had taken the Dragoncloud Fruit or Eighth Grade Lava Core, they would be able to make a breakthrough easily.
However, Lin Yun’s aptitude was terrible, and he needed two to make one breakthrough. Even so, he was only halfway through the Fourth Orifice of the Xiantian Realm, and the monkey wine helped him to make that step out.
“For this orifice…let’s go with the legs.”
Whoosh!
Among the six orifices revolving in his chest, another one lit up, signifying that Lin Yun had crossed into the Fourth Orifice of the Xiantian Realm. He had already now unlocked his eyes, ears, hands, and legs orifice. He was only left with the mouth, nose, and heart orifices.
Half an hour later, Lin Yun opened his eyes, “Now that I think about it, I should be sixteen now. The requirement for the Great Qin Empire’s four sects is reaching the Fourth Orifice of the Xiantian Realm before seventeen. I have already reached it.”
Lin Yun fell into deep thoughts. Over the past few months, he had experienced life-and-death, allowing him to reach the Fourth Orifice of the Xiantian Realm, reaching the four great sects’ recruitment threshold.
At the very least, he did not fail Su Ziyao for the Seven Orifices Exquisite Pellet she gave him. Without the Seven Orifices Exquisite Pellet, he would probably still be in the Houtian Realm right now.
When the alcohol influence dissipated, only the taste lingering on his tongue reminded him of the monkey wine’s taste.
“The monkey wine is truly the best in the world.” Lin Yun smiled and headed back to where he came from. He started to store the jars of monkey wines into his interspatial pouch. Even after storing over two hundred jars, Lin Yun still did not stop.
However, his compassion soon kicks in. He decided to leave some behind and come back in the future when there were higher quality ones.
After he was done, he returned to the pond and saw a hilarious scene unfolding before him. The Dragon Blooded Horse’s stomach was swollen from drinking too much, and it couldn’t get up on its feet no matter how it tried.
The Dragon Blooded Horse cried out, with tears rolling down its face. But no matter how it tried, it couldn’t get up. On the other hand, the Demonic Monkey King grabbed its stomach, laughing at the Dragon Blooded Horse.
When the Dragon Blooded Horse saw Lin Yun, it pointed at its stomach and looked at Lin Yun with watery eyes.
Looking at the Dragon Blooded Horse, Lin Yun’s lips twitched. He slapped his palm on the Dragon Blooded Horse to help it digest the alcohol.
The entire process took the time to drink half a cup of tea. The Dragon Blooded Horse’s figure had recovered and managed to stand up. The Fifth Orifice of the Xiantian Realm aura coming from the horse was more refined than before.
“Let’s go.”
Lin Yun left the cave with the Dragon Blooded Horse.
When the Demonic Monkey King saw that the two monsters left, it got up on its feet and started drinking monkey wine. For the monkey clan, the monkey wine wasn’t only for their cultivation, but healing their injuries as well.
Exiting the cave, Lin Yun felt energetic after drinking the monkey wine. There was an indescribable feeling of satisfaction spreading out from his chest.
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
But the Dragon Blooded Horse suddenly turned around and entered the cave. This time, Lin Yun did not care about it. Lin Yun knew that the Dragon Blooded Horse wanted to play a prank.
The Dragon Blooded Horse sneaked into the cave silently. Seeing the Demonic Monkey King drinking, Reddie wore a playful smile and pissed into the pool.
While the Demonic Monkey King was drinking, it suddenly tasted something sour from the wine. The Demonic Monkey King immediately became curious. It had no idea when the wine had a sour taste to it.
When it raised its head, it saw a gush coming out from the Dragon Blooded Horse’s crotch. The Demonic Monkey King was immediately dumbfounded and froze.
Throwing a grin at the Demonic Monkey King with a broken tooth among its set of teeth, the Dragon Blooded Horse bolted away, leaving the Demonic Monkey King wailing out in the cave.
It would probably be a long time from now for the Demonic Monkey King to drink again.
Seeing the Dragon Blooded Monkey coming out from the cave, Lin Yun jumped onto its back and left the mountain.
Half a day later, Lin Yun exited the Sky Hibernation Mountains.
“Reddie, can you change the color of your fur?” Lin Yun asked. It shouldn’t be tough with the Dragon Blooded Horse’s cultivation and talent.
As the Dragon Blooded Horse chuckled, its crimson fur turned black in the blink of an eye, looking like an ordinary horse.
Looking satisfied, Lin Yun covered himself with a cloak and hood.
“It’s time to head for the Azure Sun Realm now…” Lin Yun murmured to himself beneath the hood.
As a famous secret realm in the Great Qin Empire, it was a grand occasion every time it opened. Countless cultivators from the Great Qin Empire and nearby empires would flock over. They were coming for the inheritances left in the secret realm.
If they could get anything inside, it would benefit them greatly.
Looking at the time now, the Azure Sun Realm would open in half a month from now. After half a year of life-and-death experience, Lin Yun’s cultivation had reached the Fourth Orifice of the Xiantian Realm, his Xiantian Pure Yang Art in the fifth stage, Perfect Fiery Demon Battle Physique, Thunderclap Sword Art, and the ancient sword box.
Lin Yun was confident about going into the Azure Sun Realm. It was a gathering of experts, and if he weren’t strong enough, it would be tough to protect himself, let alone finding treasures in it.
“Logically speaking, the four sects and four clans will surely send someone to the Azure Sun Realm as well. At that time, it’s an opportunity for me to take a look at how powerful are the Great Qin Empire’s elites.” Lin Yun’s eyes flickered. When he stepped into the Azure Sun County, his gaze was never on the regional three overlord forces.
His target had always been the Great Qin Empire’s four great sects!
“Let’s go!” Lin Yun patted on the Dragon Blooded Horse’s neck, and Reddie started traveling at a speed that made no sense with its aura and appearance for the Azure Sun Realm.
With the opening of the Azure Sun Realm approaching, the Azure Sun County began to be flooded with cultivators. All of them shared the same objective—Azure Sun Realm.
Along the way, Lin Yun encountered many cultivators who either came alone or in pairs, eluding Xiantian Realm aura.
As Lin Yun wanted to stay low profile, he hid among the mass.
Seven days later, Lin Yun purposely slowed down on his way to the Azure Sun Realm.
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
There was a group of cultivators, donned in golden armor and rode majestic horses or terrifying beasts. From a distance away, Lin Yun could sense the terrifying aura coming from them and got the Dragon Blooded Horse to stop by the side.
“The Radiant Pavilion!” Lin Yun immediately recognized their origin from their clothes. It now made sense why their arrival would be so grand.
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
But just when he wanted to urge Reddie to carry on, the leader of the Radiant Pavilion’s party suddenly stopped and came back.
