Chapter 81 - 81 81 Beast Taming Sect of Tuzhou
Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Beast Taming Sect of Tuzhou Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Beast Taming Sect of Tuzhou Following the scent of the liquor, Liang Hui quickly arrived at a cave hidden behind the bushes.
He stepped forward, and the cave was dimly lit.
He extended his palm, and a blue glow blossomed in his hand, illuminating the surroundings clearly.
As he ventured deeper into the cave, the aroma of the alcohol became richer.
Suddenly, his view widened, revealing a vast space before his eyes.
Glowing stones were embedded at the top of the space, strands of light falling down, bringing brightness to the dark space.
Liang Hui dissipated the Inner Strength in his palm, his gaze fixed on the stone platform at the center.
The top of the stone platform had been carved into a groove, holding a golden and translucent liquid that continually emitted a rich fragrance of alcohol.
“Indeed, it’s Monkey Wine!”
In both his past and present life, he had heard of the name Monkey Wine.
Leaving the past aside, in this world, Monkey Wine was a fruit wine brewed from various precious medicinal fruits, selected and fermented by monkeys.
It was greatly beneficial to a Martial Artist’s cultivation.
He strode forward to the stone platform and looked down into the groove at the golden liquid.
He took out a jade bowl from his storage space, filled it with a small amount of the wine, and after ensuring there was no poison,
he took a sip.
The fragrant and sweet taste filled his taste buds, then transformed into threads of warmth that wandered throughout his body.
At this moment, his muscles, skin, and even his tendons and bones received a slight improvement.
‘Not bad, not bad at all, this Monkey Wine.’
He gulped down the golden liquid left in the bowl.
Even for someone like Liang Hui, who was not fond of drinking, he couldn’t help but praise the deliciousness of the Monkey Wine.
He took several jade bottles out of his storage space and began to collect the wine from the groove.
Not until the groove was emptied of the last drop did he store the four and a half full jade bottles back into his storage space.
This wine would be an excellent cultivational resource for him, capable of accelerating his progress on the Martial Path.
After searching the cave one more time and finding no other treasures, Liang Hui picked a few glowing stones before heading out of the cave.
Walking down the hill, he saw the caravan clearing the battlefield after dispersing the group of monkeys.
Liang Hui looked indifferent, scanning the area once before preparing to leave.
“Benefactor, please wait a moment.”
In an old voice, a hunched figure approached briskly, supported by a few escorts.
“What is it?”
Liang Hui stopped, his hand resting on the hilt of his sword.
“Benefactor, thank you for your rescue. Otherwise, our entire caravan would have perished.”
“As a token of my gratitude, I hope you will accept this,” the elder said, waving his hand to indicate the guard holding a wooden box to come forward.
The guard approached, opened the wooden box with a respectful expression, and revealed its contents.
An irregularly shaped brown mineral, dozens of golden leaves, and the bottom of the box was lined with a layer of silver pieces.
“Benefactor, this brown mineral is called yellow chalcedony, a relatively precious stone. Whether used to forge Earth Attribute weapons or Magic Artifacts, it will enhance the power of the weapon or artifact by a level.”
“There are also forty-three golden leaves and a thousand taels of silver.”
Liang Hui glanced at the items in the box, then turned his gaze to the elder.
The golden leaves and silver were not considered valuable; only the stone called yellow chalcedony was, which he knew was precious just from the elder’s description.
“Old sir, it seems you have more to say?”
“Benefactor, seeing the direction you were leaving in, you seem to be heading to Tuzhou as well. I hope you can escort us for a part of the journey, and there will be a generous reward afterwards.”
“Of course, whether you agree or not, the items in the wooden box are what you deserve.”
Liang Hui chuckled gently and reached out to take the wooden box.
He turned and walked away.
Having saved a life, receiving some gratitude gifts was only right.
As for providing an escort, did he look idle to them?
The old man watched the departing youth, a hint of urgency flashing through his muddled gaze.
After the recent chase by the monkeys, the strength of the caravan had been heavily diminished, and the remaining journey of thousands of miles would not be easy.
If any accidents occurred, they would all end up buried in a foreign land.
A hint of determination surfaced in the depths of the old man’s muddled eyes as he called out loudly, “Benefactor, I request your escort for part of the journey, I can arrange a jade permit for you and introduce you to Lan Yue Pavilion.”
Liang Hui abruptly stopped in his tracks.
He turned around!
He looked indifferently at the old man being supported.
“Where did you get the idea that I’m not a scion of the major clans or a disciple of the Dao sects?”
“The old man has seen a lot, those young masters from major clans and proud disciples of the Dao sects, none of them have the aura of loose cultivators who have clawed their way out of piles of corpses.”
Upon hearing this, the indifference in Liang Hui’s expression began to fade slightly.
He walked slowly toward the old man.
“What is a jade permit, and what kind of power is Lan Yue Pavilion, that they would possibly recruit a loose cultivator of my age?”
If there was not a satisfactory response to his earlier questions, the old man and the entire caravan might have to remain here.
The old man clearly sensed the change in the atmosphere and stopped the guards beside him who wanted to step forward.
Facing a loose cultivator who was vastly more powerful and of unpredictable temperament, doing anything would only make matters worse.
“Because of its contact with the Chu Barbarians, Tuzhou is not peaceful and often encounters lethal conflicts with spies.”
“Therefore, to restrict the activities of the Chu Barbarian spies, the Imperial Court has implemented a permit system in Tuzhou. Ordinary people are absolutely forbidden to leave their hundred-mile home range; if discovered by the court, they can be executed on the spot.”
“Only martial artists and Daoists who have registered and obtained permits are alloweda certain freedom of movement within Tuzhou, and the jade permit is the most prestigious of these, granting free movement within the state.”
With the old man’s explanation.
Liang Hui was now standing in front of the old man, his previously cold demeanor giving way to a calm one, and he spoke:
“Continue!”
“Lan Yue Pavilion is the strongest force within ten thousand miles of Yongning City. Its direct superior is one of Tuzhou’s hegemonic powers, the Beast Taming Sect, and I am one of the outer administrators of Lan Yue Pavilion.”
The old man extended his palm and took a sip from a water pouch handed to him by a guard before continuing.
His words were very clear, revealing his identity and capabilities.
Liang Hui couldn’t deny that he was tempted.
If he could join a force while preserving his secret identity, and acquire cultivation resources while further concealing his true nature…
This force wouldn’t be so strong as to see through his disguise, nor so weak that other forces could easily bully it. Backed by the Beast Taming Sect, Lan Yue Pavilion was undoubtedly a good choice.
But the premise was that everything the old man had said was true.
“I agree, I’ll escort you back to Tuzhou.”
“I hope all you’ve told me is true.”
Liang Hui slowly walked toward the location of the caravan, and the wrinkles on the old man’s face also relaxed at this moment.
With the support of the guards, the old man quickly followed.
“Benefactor, you can take that carriage there,” the old man said, pointing to a relatively intact carriage up ahead.
Liang Hui nodded and was just about to step forward.
The old man suddenly asked, “By the way, may I know the name of our benefactor?”
“Qin Dao!”
Liang Hui’s pace remained steady, and he didn’t stop as he neared the carriage, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Pulling the carriage was not an ordinary horse, but a horse-like creature with green scales and sharp teeth.
