Chapter 1242: Getting Closer

ce they wouldn't need to start a fire to cook when hunting outside, bringing some for emergencies should be fine."We have been out for ten days now, just like your usual hunting trips. We need to go b...A black circular talisman flew to the six-armed monkey's head, instantly showering it with concentric circles of light, encasing it within.

The six-armed macaque raised its massive fist and slammed it against the energy shield. The shield only trembled slightly and didn't shatter. This enraged the six-armed macaque even more. It roared, pounded its chest, and rained down blows from all six fists onto the shield, determined to smash it to pieces.

Under the six-armed monkey's relentless assault, the light shield had begun to tremble, clearly unable to hold for long.

The ripples wiped the blood from her lips, and she called out to the other three:

"Get out of here, the formation won't hold for long!"

Mu Sheng and Ye Qing, though they were also beaten up, because the Six-Armed Ape Monkey followed Ripple's instructions to focus on Lian Xiye, only giving them a few punches when they came together. These two looked pitiful, but their injuries were not as severe as Lian Xiye's.

After hearing the sound of ripples, Mu Sheng and Ye Qing immediately ran over to help Lian Xiye up. His leg was broken. They then ran away, fearing that the six-armed monkey would break out of the formation. At that moment, all four of them would have lost their lives.

"With a crashing sound, the pieces of the formation shattered," entered the ears of the four people.

"Hurry!"

At dusk, Lian Xi gritted his teeth and said.

Four people, armed with swords, charged into the dense forest and disappeared in an instant, leaving only the six-armed monkey roaring behind.

The six-armed monkey roared several times to express its anger, then, seeing that it was about time, went back to look at its fruit trees.

Actually, the fruit held no benefit for his cultivation. He only stayed there waiting for it to ripen because it was so vibrant and delicious. He planned to pick some for himself and share the rest with the young monkeys in his tribe.

Now that he had the leader to make the exchange with, he wasn't unhappy about it. After all, he already had a bottle of pills refined by humans that could repair his old injuries, so this deal was still fair.

When the six-armed macaque returned to the Yuan Ying fruit tree, he found that a small portion of the fruits, about ten or so, were missing. He estimated that the person who had picked the fruits was afraid of his return, so they had hastily gathered them. Anyway, most of them were still there, so he moved all six arms and harvested the remaining ones. Now that there were no more fruits, he didn't need to guard here anymore.

The other five had already assembled at the agreed-upon location. Of the five, Lian Yeyue was the most injured, followed by Lian'yi, then Mu Sheng and Ye Qing. Only Du Yan remained unharmed, though she had been fast enough to pick eleven Yuan Ying fruits.

Everyone looked at the nascent infant fruit radiating a faint fruity aroma, and their hearts finally felt better. Thankfully, it wasn't all in vain. The injuries they had suffered paled in comparison to the nascent infant fruit before them.

The yuan ying guo is the main ingredient for refining yuan ying dan. Now, everyone can get two of them, which is considered pretty good.

Everyone took two Yuan Ying fruits each to keep for themselves, and then swallowed the pills to heal their wounds. After a while, everyone gradually woke up from their meditation, and their injuries were mostly healed.

As dusk fell, the wounds inflicted by the night became heaviest, leaving him as the last one conscious. Then, the five of them gathered once more to discuss the fate of the remaining Yuan Ying fruit.

Dodo had long since secretly informed Lianyi. Du Yan picked twelve Yuan Ying fruits, keeping one for herself. Anyway, no one saw how many she actually picked, so she felt justified in hiding it.

Especially because she is so fast, now everyone can get two fruits each. This is all thanks to her, and I believe no one would doubt it.

The others didn't really suspect anything. For the extra fruit, everyone agreed to split it equally. It wouldn't be appropriate to give it to just one person.

"This Yuan Ying Fruit, we can take it to auction. The spirit stones earned from the auction should first be used to buy me a Confinement Array Disk as compensation for me. The remaining spirit stones will be divided equally among the five of us."

Ripple suggested.

"Elaine, haven't you already received two Yuan Ying Fruits Why are you asking us to compensate for the formation"

Ye Qing said somewhat unhappily.

You each received two, but do you have the strength to earn those two Yuan Ying fruits Without my Kua Zhen Array Disk, you would either die or be severely injured.

Besides, the main force who just subdued the Six-Armed Macaque was me and Lian Daoyou. You guys only received minor injuries, while I and Lian Daoyou were the most seriously injured. Why don't you mention that

"My battle board was a five-tiered one, able to save my life in crucial moments. Now it's destroyed. Shouldn't I be compensated for this"

Ripple, her steps unwavering, said, "Don't think you can take advantage of me so easily."

Mu Sheng and Ye Qing were a little embarrassed. They had really relied on Eileen and Lian Xiye to hold back the six-armed monkey just now, and the formation was also arranged by them. So they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Not only did he speak for himself, but also for Lian Yexie. Lian Yexie is the leader of their small team and always charges ahead in times of trouble. They might disregard Eileen, who is a temporary addition to the team, but they cannot disregard this fellow disciple.

That evening, listening to the ripples speak to him, his heart felt at ease. This time, he was truly hurt the worst, so after a light cough, he spoke:

"Elder Eileen's suggestion is good, and it can also drive up the price of Yuan Ying Fruit. However, compensating with a fifth-order array disk was not agreed upon beforehand. I think it's more appropriate to split the spirit stones earned from selling Yuan Ying Fruit into five parts."

Du Yan remained silent, as she wouldn't lose out no matter how it was divided. So after hearing Lian Xiye's words, she nodded in agreement. Mu Sheng and Ye Qing also nodded in approval. In the end, everyone's gaze focused on Li Anni.

"Alright! Anyway, we're just a temporary team. We'll split up after selling the Yuan Ying fruit."

Ripple said indifferently, expressing her dissatisfaction while also reminding the four that she was not a disciple of their sect and would not accommodate them.

"Then all the better, many thanks to Eileen Daoist for her understanding."

At dusk, Lian Xiye immediately bowed and thanked her. In fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Lian Yi.

After being reminded by Du Yan, Lian Yexi also noticed that this self-proclaimed Taoist named Eileen was likely a disciple from a prominent family out on a training expedition. Although she dressed plainly, the ornaments on her person revealed that she wasn't short of spirit stones.

The other party teamed up with them solely for the purpose of obtaining the Yuan Ying fruit. He guessed that this was the mission their family wanted to accomplish.

Of course, these were all guesses Lian Xi Ye had made privately, and he hadn't told anyone. He already had a vague plan in mind.

If Lian Yi knew that Lian Xi Ye had set his sights on her, she would probably vomit and sigh in admiration, "As expected of the child of destiny, always able to find a suitable stepping stone for himself."

Matters have been settled, and the five of them will continue to act together within Yungu Mountain. Their main objective is to gather herbs used in the refining of Yuan Ying Pills, as there are two types available here.

Since they had come, they didn't want to miss it. Adhering to the principle of frugality, they stayed in Yun Guang Mountain for another ten days, gathering both kinds of medicine before finally preparing to leave.

With Lian Ri's current cultivation, she didn't look down upon anything from Yun Guang Mountain, so she just casually picked a few things and walked out with Lian Xi Ye.

As they were leaving Yunguang Mountain, Lian Ri suddenly raised an eyebrow, noticing something interesting. When her expression turned doubtful at dusk, she purposely asked:

"Greetings, fellow cultivators. Where are you headed to auction"se. She didn't tie up her horse but let it graze in the woods, and Hou Yong just happened to see it and took it as his mount."Our horses were tied up here. We couldn't catch them because we didn't hav...
