Chapter 324: Chapter 324: The Dispute over the Millennium Tianyue Osmanthus Fruit

After hearing Lei Qinian’s words, Jun Moxiao immediately laughed.

”Brother Lei, don’t worry, I have plenty of elixirs,” he assured.

”Alright then.” Lei Qinian could only nod.

Suddenly, he realized that the youth in front of him, who was only at the First Level Nirvana Realm, was indeed a hidden tycoon.

Lei Qinian once again looked towards the Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree.

He speculated that the over one hundred monkeys must have enormous appetites. Guarding this thousand-year-old Cassia tree, they were probably just waiting for cultivators to deliver elixirs to them.

Sure enough, when the two of them approached the Cassia tree, all the monkeys became excited. Picking up sticks from nearby, they quickly surrounded the two of them.

SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK...

The monkeys danced around in excitement, persistently banging their sticks on the ground.

”Brother Monkeys, this is a small token from this little brother, please accept it.” Jun Moxiao clasped his fists and said with a broad smile.

After speaking, he skillfully took out more than ten small bottles and tossed them out.

The monkeys swarmed forward, and any bottles they snatched were given to a monkey at the Seventh Level of Nirvanic Realm.

This monkey was clearly the leader of this small group of monkeys.

The leader opened the small bottles, glanced at them, and an excited expression appeared on its face.

Then it poured out the elixirs from these small bottles, inciting a mad scramble among the other monkeys.

The monkeys that had snatched the elixirs stuffed them into their mouths, squeaking wildly, ”SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!”

Jun Moxiao ignored this. He looked at the Monkey Leader and said with a smile, ”Brother Monkey, we would like to pick the ripe Laurel fruit from the Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree. Would you grant us passage?”

Hearing his words, the Monkey Leader immediately began to rapidly bang its stick on the ground.

The other monkeys also followed suit, banging their sticks on the ground.

”Brother Jun, it seems these Brother Monkeys feel the previous elixirs weren’t enough,” Lei Qinian said with a wry smile.

”It’s alright, I still have more elixirs.” Jun Moxiao smiled calmly, and with a flick of his wrist, produced another dozen or so bottles of elixirs.

Each bottle contained over one hundred elixirs.

He once again tossed these bottles to the Monkey Leader.

The Monkey Leader opened the bottles and again distributed the elixirs.

Yet, it didn’t consume a single elixir itself.

Its eyes gleamed as it continued to stare intently at Jun Moxiao, ceaselessly striking the ground with its stick.

Jun Moxiao’s expression faltered.

Could it be that this Monkey Leader looked down on the elixirs he had offered before?

Jun Moxiao pondered for a moment, then retrieved another small bottle from his storage.

The elixirs in this one should be of a somewhat higher grade than the previous ones.

He tossed this small bottle to the Monkey Leader.

”Brother Monkey, see if these elixirs are to your liking?” Jun Moxiao asked softly.

The Monkey Leader opened the bottle, glanced inside, and its eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

Raising its hand, it actually poured the entire bottle of elixirs into its mouth.

After consuming the elixirs, perhaps because the medicinal power was too potent or it was overly excited, it began to roll around on the ground. Then, it started swinging its stick, performing a set of staff techniques.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! The shadows of the staff flickered, filling the air and enveloping its entire form.

”Brother Lei, what does this mean? Will it let us pass or not?” Jun Moxiao asked in a low voice, somewhat uncertain.

”Let’s wait a bit longer,” Lei Qinian said, his expression solemn.

After finishing the set of staff techniques, the Monkey Leader’s Super Divine Dragon Breath was even stronger than before. It swayed unsteadily as it descended from the air, then pointed a finger towards the Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree behind it.

”It seems to be a yes.”

Jun Moxiao understood the implied meaning and walked over; the Monkey Leader did not stop him.

The other monkeys, all squatting nearby, also stopped banging their sticks on the ground.

Jun Moxiao arrived beneath the Cassia Tree, then soared into the air and began picking the golden Laurel fruits.

His figure was ethereal, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, weaving through the dense branches. Very quickly, he had collected eight golden Laurel fruits into a cloth bag.

As Jun Moxiao descended from the tree, seven or eight streaks of sword light suddenly flew over from the distance.

The sword lights landed, revealing eight young men dressed in red.

Seeing these eight individuals, Lei Qinian’s pupils contracted slightly.

He hadn’t expected to encounter disciples of the Xuanyang Sect at this moment.

As they flew over, these Xuanyang Sect disciples naturally saw Jun Moxiao picking the golden Laurel fruits.

”Haha... To think we’d stumble upon them here! Those two Loose Cultivators are hiding here and have even picked eight thousand-year-old golden Laurel fruits.”

One young man drew his sword, looking at Lei Qinian and Jun Moxiao with a mocking smile.

The other seven also drew their swords, readying themselves for battle.

Seeing these people, Jun Moxiao’s expression also changed slightly.

Among these eight Xuanyang Sect disciples, the weakest cultivation base was at the Nirvana Realm Third Level, while most were at the Fifth Level of Nirvana Realm.

This was a very powerful group.

If they were to truly fight, it would undoubtedly be an arduous battle.

”Hey, kid! Hand over the Laurel fruits in your possession at once, and this great one might spare your life!” a red-clad young man shouted at Jun Moxiao, pointing his sword at him and laughing boisterously.

Jun Moxiao remained silent, not speaking.

At this moment, more than one hundred monkeys still surrounded him.

And these monkeys, upon seeing the eight young men, also didn’t attack immediately.

It was unclear whether they refrained from attacking due to the distance or because, having just eaten elixirs, they were temporarily uninterested in Human Cultivators.

”Brother Jun, it looks like this battle is unavoidable.”

Lei Qinian immediately flipped his palm, took out the Heavenly Treasures Cover, and held it above their heads.

Streams of golden light descended from the Heavenly Treasures Cover, enveloping both him and Jun Moxiao.

”Well, well! I didn’t expect that Loose Cultivator to possess such a remarkable treasure. Our martial brothers are truly fortunate today!”

A red-clad young man stared at the Heavenly Treasures Cover above Lei Qinian’s head. Sensing its extraordinary quality, his eyes gleamed with greed.

”Brother Lei, don’t be hasty.”

Jun Moxiao, however, became calm and composed. He looked at the Monkey Leader, and with a flip of his hand, another ten small bottles appeared.

”Brother Monkey, we are no match for those humans over there. I wonder if we could offer these elixirs to request Brother Monkey’s assistance just this once?”

After speaking, Jun Moxiao tossed out the ten small bottles in his hand.

These ten small bottles all contained the same type of high-grade elixirs he had offered the Monkey Leader earlier.

The Monkey Leader’s eyes lit up intensely, and it immediately caught the ten small bottles.

It opened one of the bottles, peeked inside, and then began to squeak excitedly, ”SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!”

It then fiercely stuffed all these small bottles into its mouth, hiding them in its cheek pouches.

Then, it raised its stick and let out a few sharp squeaks. ”SQUEAK! SQUEAK!”

The surrounding monkeys instantly became agitated, raising their sticks and screeching towards the sky.

”Senior Brother, these monkeys... could they have been bribed by that kid?”

A red-clad young man in the distance witnessed this scene, his eyes filled with an incredulous expression.

His words had barely faded when the Monkey Leader let out a furious roar. It transformed into a streak of black light and charged towards them, with the other monkeys following closely behind.

Over one hundred monkeys, like a black tide, surged forward and engulfed the eight red-clad young men.
