Text-based martial arts: A nighttime rendezvous with the gang leader's wife in a dilapidated te

"Monkey wine?"

Chen Xuan blinked. He had to admit, the name sounded very familiar.

Because it's just so famous. It has appeared in countless games and novels!

Moreover, each time it appears, it is accompanied by rare and uncommon affixes.

Nowadays, there are such rare treasures in the world of martial arts?

Moreover, judging from its appearance, this thing is clearly even more extraordinary!

It should be noted that even the Golden Money Fish, known as the Treasure Fish, is only a Xuan-level fortuitous encounter.

Now, is this cup of monkey wine already the benchmark for this extraordinary adventure at the prefecture level?

Thinking of this, Chen Xuan couldn't help but look at the cup of monkey wine:

Monkey Wine (Location)

Disposable items.

[Legend has it that a clever monkey gathers hundreds of fruits and brews them for several years, gathering the essence of heaven and earth. This is the finest of the fine, possessing miraculous transformative effects!]

[After the first use, if your base constitution is ≤3 points, it will increase by 2 points. You will also gain the Yellow-tier Destiny: Befriending Beasts.]

(Note: Repeated use is ineffective.)

"Holy crap?!"

Even though Chen Xuan had already guessed that this Earth-grade treasure wouldn't be so simple, he was still shocked when he saw it.

It has to be said that this adventure was the most cost-effective one Chen Xuan had ever encountered.

There was no danger, no cholera, and no life-or-death struggles or choices.

All you need to do is bring incense and candles and wait for the monkeys to run into the ruined temple.

Compared to his interactions with Cao Qing and his struggles with Long Qingyu, the spirit beast before him made Chen Xuan want to reach through the screen and give it a big kiss!

Those two points of natural talent are one thing, but he can say that he has a very deep understanding of the preciousness of his destiny!

However, Chen Xuan also knew that this extraordinary encounter was not something that ordinary people could accomplish.

Not to mention that this is a dilapidated temple in the middle of nowhere, no normal person would come to burn incense on the first or fifteenth of the lunar month.

Even if you come here, the hard requirements for the attributes are definitely not easy to meet.

To complete this adventure, the strict requirement is that your Root Bone ≤ 2.

Chen Xuan can proudly say that in the entire martial arts world, whether players or local residents, how many people have a root bone of ≤2, apart from newborn children?

And what a coincidence that we came to this desolate mountain wilderness to offer incense?

The probability of all these extremely small probabilities coming together is indeed extremely low.

In other words, unless one is truly a chosen one, only Chen Xuan, possessing a miraculous destiny that defies fate, could discover such an extraordinary encounter.

Faced with the monkey's offering and its excited, eager gaze, you could no longer suppress your desire. You took the monkey wine and gulped it down.

This monkey wine isn't like ordinary wines—it's crisp and refreshing. Instead, it has a strange, viscous texture, while simultaneously exuding an indescribable sweetness and a subtle, mellow aroma.

This taste was so enticing that you quickly swallowed the remaining bite.

At this moment, it feels as if you've returned to that night when you first tasted the golden shad.

The moment the monkey wine enters your stomach, a warm current flows through your entire body at an unimaginable speed; every inch of your flesh feels as if a tiny hand is constantly massaging it.

Then, the heat intensified, and you couldn't help but start pacing back and forth.

[System notification: Your Root Bone +2, you have obtained the Yellow-level Destiny Talent: Befriending Beasts.]

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

The clever monkey laughed, pounding his chest and stamping his feet, as did the rest of his monkey offspring.

At this moment, you can feel their joy and that hidden mischievousness.

You suddenly realize that you seem to have gained some understanding of some of their actions.

[Befriending Beasts (Yellow): Increases the initial affinity between you and any land beasts or spirit beasts. You will also gain a certain degree of understanding of their intentions. However, if, based on a harmonious relationship, you actively or indirectly kill a spirit beast due to your own selfish desires, this fate will disappear.]

Chen Xuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the new destiny talent that had appeared after the innate destiny of "defying fate".

Although this destiny talent is far inferior to even some of the initial destiny talents, let alone defying fate, it is still far superior.

However, having a permanent boost to one's destiny and talent is better than having none, isn't it?

Moreover, judging from the monkey's abilities and wisdom, this destiny may bring some unimaginable help and benefits in the future.

The incredible effects of monkey wine will amaze you.

However, this almost transformative improvement requires your body to constantly move around to process the medicinal effects of the monkey wine.

You must do something, just like last time, to find a way to digest this massive amount of medicinal power.

Your gaze fell upon the deep pool and river beneath the waterfall.

Instead of acting directly, you approached the monkey and pointed to the stream.

Seeing that you were covered in sweat and your face was flushed, the clever monkey seemed to understand something and nodded.

"Chirp chirp chirp!"

From his shout, you know he agreed to your request to go into the water, but he also warned you that the water is very deep, so don't dive in recklessly!

You can feel its concern, but for you, underwater is safer than anywhere else.

You quickly stripped off your outer garment and eagerly jumped into the pool.

The icy water made you shiver suddenly.

The intense heat that had been coursing through my body subsided considerably at that moment.

However, your abundant energy also makes you eager to take another opportunity to practice the Azure Sea Stabilizing Stake!

[With this thought in mind, your body swayed, activating the "Fish Leaps Over the Dragon Gate" technique, and the "River Carp Sweeps the Waves" trait was unleashed.]

You dive down into the depths of this pool.

However, what you didn't expect was that the riverbed was indeed much deeper than the monkey had described; in just a short while, you had dived to a depth of thirty or forty meters.

Just when you were starting to feel uncomfortable, you finally found a protruding rock and managed to stand firmly on it.

You breathed a sigh of relief and entered the cultivation state of the Azure Sea Stabilizing Stake once more. Your cultivation technique trait 'Submerged Flow' activated, increasing your Comprehension and Innate Talent by 2.

[Abundant physical strength, and peak performance and physical condition in the water.]

This time, your cultivation speed is even more rapid.

[Cultivating the Canglan Sea-Stabilizing Stake...]

【…】

The pressure underwater gradually stabilizes your body. Your experience with the "Canglan Dinghai Zhuang" skill is increasing! Current progress: Level 1, 55% (Beginner).

You opened your eyes and let out a long breath.

Chen Xuan also smiled. This time, he only used half an hour to gain the experience he had gained in less than two hours yesterday.

The improvement is considerable.

The effect of increasing this bone density is immediate.

However, just as Chen Xuan was about to control his game character to emerge from the water, his gaze suddenly shifted, revealing a hint of suspicion and surprise.

Because in the upper right corner, above the map and movement direction selection, besides the "Monkey Wonderland - Shore" option, there is another place to go:

"Mysterious Water Cave"?
