Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 290 Is this really true?

“3 × 30 × 2.5 = 225.”

While also looking at the three trees, Tang Xuanci frowned and muttered to himself:

"No, three trees are still too few. We need to get at least ten more!"
"Otherwise, as Brother Zhenyuan said last time, even if we get another 1,111 pairs of infant spirits of boys and girls and activate the two trees we just got, we can only produce 3 x 30 ginseng fruit buds in six years."

"The 'Little Grass Rejuvenating Pill,' made primarily from fruit buds and combined with countless rare and precious herbs, is only slightly more effective than a first-stage Golden Pill, extending the lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator by two and a half years."

"In other words, we've invested so much money and taken such a huge risk, and in six years we can only earn 225 years of lifespan, which is still relative to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Isn't this like entering a tiger's den but only getting mouse cubs?"

Ah this?

Old Mrs. Lishan suspected her rogue husband was driving, glared at him, and said irritably:

"No matter what, this ginseng fruit tree is a tree of longevity. Even if it bears fruit slowly, the immortal lords and wealthy people of Dongsheng Divine Continent will cherish it as a treasure. It's not that easy to get."
"The reason I was able to get these two plants in such a short time is because I already knew that they existed in that mountain, and I was able to exchange them for Golden Elixir and other conditions."

"Even if there were more, I couldn't think of where to look for them."

"And don't forget, each fruit tree's spirit-gathering array requires 1111 infant spirits to function."

"The souls of so many boys and girls are probably too many for even the demons in that little city of Bhikkhu to gather in a short time."

"We cannot do such a heinous thing ourselves."

Tang Xuanci frowned and remained silent.

In fact, he would do anything for his home planet, except for close relatives.

But now we are supposed to take it upon ourselves to save all living beings. If we send our own people to do this on such a large scale, what if word gets out? Wouldn't that be terrible?

But then Zhenyuan Daxian turned around and said:

“My dear brother, refining pills from sprouts is a poor strategy. If you can patiently wait for the longevity fruit to mature, one pill can provide a lifespan of sixty years.”

"But that would take a hundred years. By then, the peach orchards in the sky would have a bountiful harvest, and with inflation, the ginseng fruit would no longer be worth what it is now."

Tang Xuanci said:

"Moreover, only by converting the elixir of immortality into cash now can we navigate the storms that are about to sweep across the three realms with ease."

"In the current Immortal Realm, the conflict between the 'Celestial Core' level and the 'Unelderly' level is irreconcilable. Before the peaches of immortality are harvested, it will inevitably intensify until a final battle is fought to determine the victor and establish a new order."

"Although we love peace, it is impossible for us to remain on the fence forever."

"All middle classes will eventually be forced into the torrent of history; there is no place in the world where one can escape the three realms and be outside the five elements."

"A catastrophe is imminent, please make a decision as soon as possible, brother."

After hearing these words, Zhen Yuanzi remained silent for a long time, his expression becoming more solemn, before he sighed:

“Brother, you are absolutely right. If you don’t stand on the side of the ultimate victory, even if you possess thousands of longevity fruits, you can forget about keeping them.”

After a moment's hesitation, he said again:
"I do know of a few places where ginseng fruit trees might exist. Once the magic array is set up here, I will personally go to the Eastern Continent to investigate."

"As for infant spirits, I used to snatch them from evil and heretical people, and it took me a lot of time to collect them all."

"However... there is another method that can quickly obtain excellent reincarnated infant spirits without harming the lives of living children."

"But there are other difficulties, especially now that there is war in the central part of the Western Continent, making it even more difficult."

Tang Xuanci asked:

"What method? Although the area is blocked, we still have channels to sneak in from the outside and contact the people inside."

Zhen Yuanzi said:

"West of the Tongtian River, there is a Kingdom of Women, within which flows a Mother-Child River. Local women can reproduce simply by drinking this water."

"Because the water source connects yin and yang and facilitates reincarnation, it can nurture infant spirits."

"What a pity~"

"Unfortunately," Tang Xuanci interrupted with a surprised look, "a scorpion demon has taken over that place and doesn't allow outsiders to enter, right?"

“So you know, my brother,” Zhen Yuanzi said. “That’s right. That Scorpion Demon is incredibly powerful and ruthless, making it very difficult to deal with. I’ve heard that it has now formed an alliance with those anti-demon groups, making the Women’s Kingdom even more undesirable.”

Tang Xuanci didn't say anything more, but he secretly made a mental note and cursed in his heart:

"Damn it, it's that Women's Kingdom again..."

A short while later, the east turned white.

The Old Mother of Lishan ordered a morning feast to be prepared, inviting Zhenyuan Daxian to the main peak of Tianmu Mountain for further discussion.

However, no sooner had the group left the orchard than Tang Xuanci received a phone call. His brow furrowed instantly, and he told Zhen Yuanzi that Azhou had urgent official business to attend to, then took his leave. ...

The capital of the desert, north of the City God Temple.

Tang Xuanci rushed back and, upon entering the City God's private office, saw the White Snake and the Green Snake sitting cross-legged, healing their wounds.

The three brothers, Monkey, Pig, and Sand, were smoking nearby.

Meanwhile, Lord Chen was still sleeping in his mansion.

Upon seeing him enter, Sha Wujing immediately stepped forward to report:

“Master, it’s confirmed now. This was done by Lu Dingkui, the seventh commander of the Demon-Slaying Army.”

"They just sent a secret message, still requiring us to deliver that batch of goods within ten days."

Otherwise~

Before she could finish speaking, the white snake and the green snake opened their eyes. The green snake rushed forward and cried out:
"Husband! They've kidnapped Yao Yao! Please save her!"

It turns out that the ambush on Highway 102 last night was a carefully planned operation by Lu Dingkui after he locked onto his target.

But he didn't expect that the two sisters not only possessed many rare treasures such as the Seven Star Sword and the Brocade Kasaya, but also that after the Green Snake condensed its Nascent Soul, it had also cultivated a strange poison called "Azure Blood Fiend," which could complement the White Snake's "White Absolute Poison," producing a toxicity greater than a billion times the sum of its parts.

Led by the White Snake, they fought desperately to break through the blockade and sent out a distress signal, which instantly attracted the brothers of Shaboliang Mountain and the well-trained security team.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Dingkui's men dared not stay any longer and could only take the only captured little girl and run away immediately, escaping out of the state.

"Master."

Sha Wujing, fearing that Tang Xuanci might not fully understand the situation, added:
"They found out the girl's identity and told you about your affair with the two ladies in the Tang Dynasty. Even Chen Feng of Leifeng Pagoda knows about it."

"They said if she didn't see the item within ten days, they would take her to the Fire and Thunder Departments and accuse her of harboring a serious criminal and accepting bribes to break the law."

Upon hearing this, the green snake hurriedly said:

"Husband, this definitely wasn't said by Yao Yao. She would never utter a single word, much less testify for them!"

The White Snake couldn't help but speak up:

"I know that child's temperament. She also suffered greatly in Leifeng Pagoda back then, but she didn't reveal any information that would be detrimental to us."

"Please rest assured, Tang Lang."

"However, she is the only granddaughter of my late master. My master used to treat Qing'er and me like mother and daughter. I hope Tang Lang can find a way to rescue her."

"I am willing to pay any price for this."

After saying that, he knelt down on the ground.

Seeing this, the green snake also stepped back to her sister's side and bowed.

"Alright, this isn't your fault. Those pickled radishes were after our weapons. Let me think of something."

Tang Xuanci pulled the two women up, stopped talking, and silently snatched half a cigarette from the monkey's mouth and started smoking.

At this moment, Sha Wujing spoke again:

"Hey, Second Senior Brother, you used to be the leader of the Four Saints of the North Pole. Logically speaking, the current Grand Marshal Tianyou should still call you Big Brother."

"And that boy surnamed Lu is his grandson."

"Why don't you go and try to negotiate with Marshal Tianyou? If he gives a word, would that brat dare to disobey?"

Zhu Wuneng was speechless, never expecting to be targeted while lying on the sofa. Just as he was about to mutter something, he heard the monkey laugh:
“Brother Sha’s plan is brilliant. This fool even claims that the True Martial Emperor is his little brother.”

"Hehehe, I think it would be better to send this blockhead directly to Xuan Yue Taihe Mountain. Just have his underlings deliver a message, and Guan Qing'er will be so scared that she'll refuse to eat the sour radish and personally return it to apologize."

"Fool, didn't you hear Bai Meiren say she was willing to pay any price?"

"Hurry up and go. If you really manage to rescue her, make her repay you with her body. Look at her bear, it's much bigger than Xiao Lanlan's."

Ah this! ?
Can't a monkey produce ivory?

Upon hearing this, the White Snake's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a surge of embarrassment, panic, and physical discomfort.

But she was worried about Huang Yao's safety, and since she had just made such a solemn vow, she really couldn't say anything to refute it now.

Zhu Wuneng couldn't help but steal a glance at the most magnificent and splendid part of the room, and instantly became wide awake.

To be honest, the monkey's words were like a shot of adrenaline, making him, who originally refused to go for the so-called "little brother" no matter what, suddenly have the idea that he could give it a try even if it meant overcoming all difficulties!

So he sat up awkwardly, cleared his throat, and said:
"Uh... does that really mean anything?"
