King of Creation-Chapter 730 - 721: A Meal’s Grace

"What, the Beast Taming Sect has been destroyed for over a hundred years....."

Getting this answer from Ye Zhen, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King in front of him seemed to lose focus, and actually started daydreaming.

The next instant, a thunderous peal of laughter erupted, "Hahaha....."

"Good, good, their destruction is excellent!"

"This is absolutely the best news I’ve heard in my life! Niu Xiaotian, where is that bastard Niu Xiaotian?" Amidst the laughter, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s gaze turned back to Ye Zhen.

"Niu Xiaotian, are you talking about that supremely talented and ambitious existence from the past thousand years....."

Before Ye Zhen could finish, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s enormous eyes glared furiously at Ye Zhen, "A crafty old swindler, that’s the supremely talented and ambitious one? Pah, he doesn’t deserve it!"

Ye Zhen was shocked because from the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s words, he got another piece of information: this Long-Armed Fire Monkey King was likely from a thousand years ago!

Such an ancient monster!

However, by this point, fear had long vanished, they had already faced off for so long, what was there to be afraid of?

"Right, a crafty old swindler indeed, but I don’t know about his life or death! All I know is that when the Beast Taming Sect was destroyed a hundred years ago, except for one elder who was outside, the entire sect perished!" Ye Zhen said.

"The entire sect perished, then what about those other old geezers, where did they go?"

The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King had a strangely pensive expression, and then fell into deep thought.

Deep thought for a moment was fine, but this fellow pondered for a full 15 minutes, which inevitably made Ye Zhen anxious; time was of the essence.

Yangh Yiguan was still relentlessly bombarding the seals outside, and who knew how long it would be before he could get in.

Yangh Yiguan was different from Lan Shuiqiao and the others; he was the only inheritor of the Beast Taming Sect, Ye Zhen speculated that Yangh Yiguan definitely did not know as little about Ten Thousand Beast Valley as he claimed.

Yangh Yiguan surely had some knowledge of the restrictions within Ten Thousand Beast Valley, even possibly having a method to control them!

Now, Yangh Yiguan lacked just one opportunity, and once he had the chance to enter the interior and re-activate the restrictions here, with the powerful capabilities that Ten Thousand Beast Hall had demonstrated, it was likely that no one would be able to control him then.

Moreover, what Ye Zhen was even more worried about was this fellow in front of him; don’t think that just because the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King appears so fearsome, Ye Zhen believed that there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that he was placed here by the Beast Taming Sect to guard the Beast Spirit Hall.

Otherwise, with the terrifying Cultivation he had demonstrated, he would have already blasted out of the Beast Spirit Hall.

Even though the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King was not some puppet, there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that a Secret Technique was controlling the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King. Yangh Yiguan’s frantic efforts here were very likely because he knew something.

If the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King was controlled by Yangh Yiguan, then Ye Zhen and the others would be left with no hope for survival.

Because Ye Zhen, put in the same position, wouldn’t want the secret of his sect’s revival being leaked either, letting a group of people who knew the way in and out live to tell the tale.

In an instant, Ye Zhen felt some regret; earlier, outside the Beast Spirit Hall, he should have seized the opportunity to kill Yangh Yiguan or controlled him before entering.

Now, it was impossible for Ye Zhen even if he wanted to go out and kill Yangh Yiguan.

Because even though the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King was deep in thought, the layer of Red Spiritual Power covering the ground hadn’t dissipated, preventing Ye Zhen from using the Earth Escape Technique.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s eyebrows twitched, and he took out some food he had prepared in advance—a roasted lamb leg—and waggled it at the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, "Senior, it’s been a hundred years since you’ve tasted meat, would you.... like some food? I have some food supplies here?"

"Hmm?"

After sniffing vigorously, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King suddenly lifted his head, "Hmm, food?"

Without any discernible movement from the monkey king, Ye Zhen felt a great force and the lamb leg in his hands flew out. In an instant, the sound of meticulous chewing followed.

"Hmm, delicious, it’s truly damn delicious! It’s been over a hundred years, and I almost miss the taste in my mouth!"

In just a couple of breaths, the large lamb leg had disappeared, and the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s gaze once again fixed on Ye Zhen, "Boy, are you waiting for this king to snatch your Storage Ring, or...?"

"No need, no need, I’ll get it myself!"

As he spoke, Ye Zhen brought out an assortment of foods from his storage ring, enough for him to eat alone for nearly a year.

The sound of whooshing and hearty eating was incessant.

"Wine, wine!"

"Boy, if you dare say there’s no wine, this king will drink your fresh blood as wine! How long has it been since I’ve eaten human flesh?" the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King suddenly showed a hint of reminiscing.

"I have it, I have it!"

Immediately, a dozen jars of fine wine were uniformly laid out before the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.

Grabbing a large jar out of the air, he smacked off the clay seal, and without even sniffing, he lifted the jar and gulped down the wine voraciously.

Looking at the scene, a thought suddenly emerged in Ye Zhen’s heart. If he had known earlier, would adding a drop of the Blood-eyed Silver Ring Snake’s poison liquid from the Hundred Poisons Master to one of the Spirit Wines have been enough to poison the creature before him to death?

No sooner had the thought arisen than the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s snort of derision sounded, "There’s no poison born on the True Profound Continent capable of killing me! All poisons that enter my Fire Spirit Body turn to smoke and dissipate!"

"Uh... no, you’ve misunderstood, I wouldn’t dare..."

"Boy, don’t deny it. If you keep denying, you’ll make me lose respect for you! Next time you think such dirty thoughts, remember to hide your Divine Sense more deeply!"

In an instant, Ye Zhen’s face became quite ridiculous; shock was an understatement—he was downright terrified, as the creature before him was too horrifying, able to know even what he was thinking!

"Eh, this is Ziling Brew?"

"To present me with Ziling Brew, a secret of Qinglan Martial City, shows you’ve got some heart! Very well, I shall not take advantage without giving something in return. Here are a few secret mantras for you as a reward!"

As it spoke, a stream of Divine Soul information flooded into Ye Zhen’s mind, containing several mantras for operating Divine Soul Power.

"These mantras aren’t much, but once you’re familiar with them, they can hide the waves of your Divine Soul in the very center of your Soul Sea. The effect is that whatever you think won’t be directly perceived by beings like me!" declared the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King.

Suppressing his impulse, Ye Zhen began to cycle the mantras given by the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King. In an instant, he felt the previously gently undulating Soul Sea suddenly become incredibly calm.

Even when Ye Zhen stimulated his Divine Soul Power, only the interior of the Soul Sea produced ripples; the surface remained as calm as still water. Previously, any Divine Soul Power activity would have caused ridges of waves on the surface of his Soul Sea.

"Not bad, you’ve got some talent; you’ve learned it so quickly!" With that, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King opened another large jar of Ziling Brew.

Only then did Ye Zhen finally dare to breathe a sigh of relief and relax his thoughts.

The Ziling Brew he had brought out was not intentional; it was just the Spirit Wine he happened to carry on him.

Suddenly, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King roared with dissatisfaction, "Damn it, I’ve dug myself a big hole again!"

"I passed on this method to hide Divine Soul Waves to you so early on, and now I can no longer know what you’re thinking. Who knows if you’ll concoct a plan to harm me?" The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s face was full of regret!

Ye Zhen vehemently denied it, "No way, how could I dare!"

"Hmph, a person’s heart is hidden behind their belly!"

After saying that, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King no longer paid attention to Ye Zhen and focused on gobbling down the large pile of food before it. The thousands of pounds of various roasted meats, dried fruits, grains, and the fifteen jars of Ziling Brew were all devoured in less than 15 minutes!

"Er...."

The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King let out a series of long, satisfied burps, patting its belly with utmost enjoyment, "It’s been several hundred years, but I finally had a full meal! Boy, is there any more Ziling Brew left?"

Ye Zhen shook his head like a rattle-drum, "No more, each jar of Ziling Brew costs tens of thousands of Mid-grade Spirit Crystals. These fifteen jars are all that I had!"

"Tens of thousands of Mid-grade Spirit Crystals? That expensive, huh? I remember back then, a jar only sold for five thousand Mid-grade Spirit Crystals!"

After reminiscing for a few moments, the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King suddenly pointed towards more than ten light orbs in the Beast Spirit Hall, emanating a glow of restrictions, and said, "Boy, those are the Beast Taming Sect’s treasures of teaching. I never like owing anyone favors. Since I’ve enjoyed a good feast today, I’ll allow you to pick one from these treasures of the Beast Taming Sect as a way to repay you!"

Ye Zhen dared not voice the thought of taking generosity for granted, grumbling only in his heart, but his face showed great joy!

Truth be told, if the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King hadn’t allowed it, Ye Zhen wouldn’t have been able to take away any treasure here even with risking his life.

Moreover, all those treasures were enveloped in glowing restrictions!

"Thank you, senior!"

Overjoyed, Ye Zhen quickly approached the eleven glowing orbs and began inspecting them carefully. Then, Ye Zhen found himself facing a dilemma.

Which one should he choose?

The eleven orbs all featured the same glow of restrictions, except their sizes varied. Most importantly, he couldn’t see what was inside! Each item, kept by the Beast Taming Sect and individually sealed, was a priceless treasure, but not necessarily what Ye Zhen needed.

Most crucially, from the current situation, Ye Zhen only had one chance. Trying to play tricks or take more in front of the formidable Long-Armed Fire Monkey King was simply impossible!

Other treasures of the Beast Taming Sect might be tempting, like the Puppetry Technique kept secret by the Sect as told by Lan Shuiqiao. However, what Ye Zhen needed most was the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill which could increase his cat’s grade.

His primary goal was to obtain the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill!

As long as he got the Blood Pill, Ye Zhen’s journey would not have been in vain!

Ye Zhen didn’t know if there was a Five Elements Melt Blood Pill among the eleven orbs or which one might contain it, but the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King behind him knew!

Considering the character of the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King, Ye Zhen directly asked, "Senior, could you perhaps guide me to which one contains the Five Elements Melt Blood Pill, if any are present?"

"Five Elements Melt Blood Pill?" The Long-Armed Fire Monkey King’s eyes suddenly narrowed, which made Ye Zhen’s heart hang in suspense! (To be continued.
