Food gives me an entry, I will be invincible if I stay alive

Chapter 238 Drinking Contest: One After Another Takes the Stage
When Chen Xu took his third sip of wine, the Monkey King originally wanted to stop him.

However, Chen Xu moved too quickly, so much so that the Monkey King could only stare blankly.

Perhaps even the Monkey King hesitated for a moment—

After all, it brought this rare brew to Chen Xu precisely to see if he would take a gamble.
But the Monkey King both wanted to watch him gamble and was afraid to watch him gamble.

I don't know if I'm afraid he'll win the bet, or afraid he'll lose.

Chen Xu then drank his third sip of wine, and the Monkey King couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

It sighed too many times today.

With a sigh, it involuntarily leaned its upper body slightly forward.

This was an unconscious, tense action; the Monkey King didn't even realize what he was doing when he made it.

Its mind flashed by like a streak of light, recalling many things in an instant.

Inside the Jade Pool Monkey Cave, it silently left its body, determined to meet that mysterious and unpredictable human youth.

None of the monkeys knew about this, except for Curly Tail, who was most trusted by the Monkey King. He was both shocked and anxious, and hurriedly tried to persuade them:

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely forbidden to let your spirit leave your body! If you are truly curious about that young man, I... I can simply go and invite him over!"

The Monkey King said, “The Black Monkey Clan is watching our clan at all times. It’s fine if only a few little monkeys go out, but if you bring in strangers, I’m afraid Black Sky Rift will do something unpredictable.”

Black Sky Rift was the name the Black Monkey King gave himself.

Only the young, impetuous, and incredibly ferocious Black Monkey King would dare to take such an arrogant title.

The Grey Monkey King then said to the Scroll Tail, "That person was able to easily crush Black Wind Howl and even gave the two little monkeys extra spiritual fruits. Every word and action of his was lawful. It is worth it for me to personally go and see him."

It took the Thousand Treasures Wine and put it into its Qiankun Pouch. Seeing this, the Scroll Tail couldn't help but advise:

"Your Majesty, this is a rare brew, and there is less than a pound left in the Hundred Fruit Cave!"

The Grey Monkey King said, "That's enough, three ounces is enough. Leave three ounces for us to share."

Juanwei then smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this Thousand Treasures Wine, this old monkey dares not drink it."

"Your Majesty, are you taking this lavish gift to see that human expert to ask for his help in wiping out the Black Monkey Forest?"

As she spoke, she hesitated again at the end of the scroll:

"But if that human expert really drinks the Thousand Treasures Wine, it will damage his body, or even cause his body to explode... What should we do then?"

“Curl Tail, you still don’t understand. Humans and demons are different.” The Gray Monkey King shook his head and said, “Our grudges with the Black Monkey Clan can only be kept within the clan, not outside the clan.”

Regardless of who wins or loses, it is an internal matter for our monkey clan. Life and death are preordained, and victory or defeat is determined by fate. That's all.

However, if a human expert gets involved and directly intervenes, the situation will be quite different.

My trip to meet that man is not to help him fight.

"If not to help, then why?" Curly Tail asked cautiously, his heart pounding with fear.

The Monkey King remained silent. He stepped out of the monkey cave and floated gracefully over the green pool.

The monkeys surrounded the green pool, but none of them could see its illusory primordial spirit with their naked eyes.

It silently and gracefully traveled a long distance until it passed through the dense forest on the east side of Yunya Peak, at which point it transformed from an illusion into a physical entity.

It met Chen Xu under the moon and presented him with a thousand kinds of precious wine.

This is a top-quality spirit wine that even the tail of the scroll dares not drink, and it is also a rare spirit brew that Black Sky Rift has long coveted.

Even the Grey Monkey King himself cherishes it and is extremely cautious about it, and to this day he dares not drink a third sip of this dangerous substance.

But Chen Xu, without hesitation, drank the third mouthful. At this moment, the Grey Monkey King was filled with countless thoughts, and it even forgot to continue simulating breathing.

Its chest stopped heaving, and its form became ethereal in the moonlight. It stared intently at the young man before it, trying to carefully observe the changes in his aura.

But at some point, the powerful aura emanating from the other party, which had been surging like a sea of ​​stars, suddenly seemed to have fallen into a still abyss—

For a fleeting moment, it was as if the person opposite had vanished.

He was sitting there cross-legged, and his shadow was stretched long in the moonlight.

But his whole being seemed to have turned into a void vortex.

At this very moment, the moonlight in the sky, the breeze in the mountains, and the spiritual energy wandering in the night were all drawn into that seemingly bottomless vortex.

Finally, just as the Monkey King was filled with shock and doubt, in the blink of an eye, all the strange occurrences suddenly erupted.

Like a nebula just beginning to bloom, the Milky Way cascading down, and chaos emerging.

The Monkey King was almost about to cry out in surprise.

He even felt that what was sitting in front of him wasn't a person, but rather a blinding, strange ball of light—

The Monkey King was almost blinded by the light.

It even felt like it was about to close its eyes, but just as all the conflicting emotions reached their peak, all the strange phenomena in front of it disappeared.

The Monkey King could only hear his own soul's heart pounding incessantly.

The primordial spirit does not actually have a heart, so what is beating at this moment may not be a real heart, but rather the heart of the Monkey King's "imagined" body, or perhaps the heart of the old body in the Jade Pool Monkey Cave, dozens of miles away.

Dozens of miles away, the sound of the Monkey King's body pounding reached the ears of his primordial spirit.

The human youth in front of him opened his eyes. His gaze was deep and calm as he looked at the monkey king sitting opposite him.

Therefore, no matter how tumultuous the world was before the Monkey King's eyes, he drank three mouthfuls of the Thousand Treasures Wine with ease and without the slightest hint of unease.

He succeeded!

There was no painful struggle, no exploding body and death.

Even more so, the moment he opened his eyes, the Monkey King felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have an even more peaceful aura.

His breathing was shallow, and at first glance, he looked like an ordinary young man!

The Monkey King was unable to speak; he had almost lost his voice.

Just then, Ah Shi, the little mouse standing on Chen Xu's shoulder, suddenly let out a long sigh of relief and exclaimed in delight, "Scholar, you're alright!"

Chen Xu remained seated cross-legged, motionless.

He merely smiled slightly and said, "Luckily, nothing happened. Thousand Treasures Brew, truly worthy of being a treasured wine of the monkey clan, the taste is indeed excellent."

Is it just that it tastes good?
The Monkey King finally regained his voice. He looked at Chen Xu and uttered a single word: "You..."

Chen Xu smiled and said, "Monkey King, the Thousand Treasures Wine is undoubtedly the finest spirit wine in the world. But I also have a spirit wine here, which, although it does not have the effect of prolonging life, has the extraordinary ability of enlightening the mind and seeing one's true nature."

Would the Monkey King be willing to taste it?

As he spoke, he swept his sleeve and took away all the Drunken Spirit Wine and wine cups that were originally on the low table in front of him.

A delicate wine pot and two jade cups reappeared on the table.

[The Jade Elixir of Enlightenment can test one's conscience. However, if one cannot attain enlightenment and see one's true nature, drinking this wine may instead trigger inner demons.]
