Dashing Student-Chapter 1133: Immortal Brew in the Forest

In the forest behind Penglai Immortal Mountain, beams of treasure-light shot straight into the sky, the clouds filled the heavens, painting the woods in diverse colors.

At this moment, outside the forest, numerous cultivators gathered, eager to hunt for treasures within, yet their path was blocked by a group of monkeys.

One by one, fiery red monkeys darted out from the forest, swift as lightning, each movement enveloped in dazzling thunder.

In attack, the thunder became the monkeys’ weapon, making the cultivators miserable; more importantly, the monkeys’ cultivation was incredibly strong, with many even at the Third Layer of Golden Core Realm.

The rules of Penglai Secret Realm also affected these demon beasts.

"Damned monkeys, where the hell did these Thunder Patterned Red Apes come from? I never knew Penglai Secret Realm had such smelly monkeys."

A cultivator of Golden Core Realm cursed angrily, but was quickly pounced upon by a Thunder Patterned Red Ape, its sharp claws striking him, releasing a sudden burst of thunder.

With a loud crash, the cultivator was thrown hard by the thunder and landed miserably on the ground.

"Ga, ga, ga..."

The Thunder Patterned Red Ape cackled with glee yet did not pursue further, instead returning to a large tree, coldly watching the human cultivators outside the forest.

Their behavior seemed like they were solely preventing the human cultivators from entering the forest.

However, the human cultivators weren’t united. After all, this treasure hunt involved several sects and families joining forces, each holding their own schemes.

The heavy treasure was unique; though its nature was still unknown, it didn’t stop them from plotting and scheming, each wishing to claim it wholly.

Thus, the elders of the sects and families watched coldly from the back, letting sect disciples and family juniors probe ahead.

A young cultivator with numerous scars from lightning approached a white-bearded elder. Bowing deeply, his face tinged with shame.

"Master, this disciple is useless. Those smelly monkeys are too troublesome, and far too numerous. We can’t break through."

The white-bearded elder nodded slowly, saying, "I understand. Don’t push too hard. The final contest for the heavy treasure falls to us old-timers."

These powerful elders and family seniors hadn’t acted yet because the treasure hadn’t fully emerged, so there was absolutely no rush. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Just then, a powerful surge of energy emanated from the forest, a beam of light piercing the sky, even shattering clouds above.

A rich aroma of wine spread from the forest, and upon smelling it, the cultivators felt slightly giddy, as if intoxicated.

"What kind of wine is this? Just smelling it makes one drunk."

"Could the treasure this time merely be a barrel of wine?"

"If it truly is wine, then it’s Immortal Brew!"

Many cultivators discussed eagerly, their hearts filled with various speculations.

Some cultivators whose cultivation had been stagnant for years outside the Secret Realm felt an ecstatic jolt upon smelling the wine aroma.

Because just from smelling the wine, their long-stagnant cultivation loosened slightly; perhaps the wine within the forest was the mythical Immortal Brew!

Immortal Brew, born of Heaven and Earth, fermented under the union of Yin and Yang, is among the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, with many legends within the Nine Provinces.

There are legends of Immortal Brew formed from countless precious spiritual medicines, possessing mighty effects, some able to resurrect the dead, restore flesh and bones.

Others could grant dreams lasting millennia, even achieving immortality with a single sip!

Numerous tales about Immortal Brew abound; if the treasure emerging this time is Immortal Brew, it’s enough to cause a sensation.

The cultivators who were merely observing couldn’t remain calm now. Regardless of the Immortal Brew’s effects, it could bring immense benefits to their sects or families.

An elder of the Sun Family stepped forward, speaking slowly, "Everyone, don’t hold back! Let’s first resolve these smelly monkeys, then compete based on skill, how about it?"

"Indeed,"

Others readily agreed, confident in seizing the Immortal Brew ultimately.

The aroma grew thicker within the forest, all the Thunder Patterned Red Apes staggered as if drunk, a cultivator noticed, gathering mana at his fingertips, forming an arrow that shot forth.

Yet, the arrow barely grazed a red ape’s fur as it swayed just slightly.

"It must be coincidence!" The cultivator frowned, mana surged from within, powering dozens of arrows around his body instantly.

Whizz, whizz, whizz...

Arrows pierced the air, densely raining towards the Thunder Patterned Red Apes, but that ape continued to stagger randomly.

Oddly, each time it swayed, it dodged an arrow, leaving it unharmed after the barrage.

"Damned smelly monkeys!"

The cultivators were enraged by this ape, leaping forward with angry shouts, their magic smashing in waves, but suddenly the ape’s eyes shone with ferocity, its body erupting with brilliant thunder!

Bang!

A bolt of thunder struck down, toppling the attacking cultivator, his body charred and smoking, twitching occasionally, looking utterly miserable.

The other cultivators felt that the seemingly drunk Thunder Patterned Red Apes were not only more agile, but also wielded even stronger attacks.

"This is only the scent of the wine; if they actually drank it, how strong would they become?"

Some seasoned cultivators had already guessed the Immortal Brew could enhance strength, fueling their anxious hearts further.

For cultivators whose cultivation hit a bottleneck and whose lifespan dwindled, anything that could boost it was invaluable.

After all, advancing cultivation prolongs life, for cultivating seeks to live as long as Heaven, few can face death calmly.

Suddenly, the attacks of these seasoned warriors became fierce; even constrained to Third Layer of Golden Core Realm, their means far exceeded this realm.

The Thunder Patterned Red Apes began losing ground, even backed by wine aroma couldn’t hold.

"The Immortal Brew is mine!"

A young cultivator from the Sun Family saw the Thunder Patterned Red Apes retreat into the forest, he charged forward, only to meet a foot.

With a slap, the Sun Family cultivator flew backwards, face marked by a distinct shoe print, and a figure emerged before everyone.

"I’m taking what’s here. You can leave now!"
