Chapter 11: Making a living
Chapter 11: Making a living
Xu Chen sat in the makeshift tent, watching the monkeys outside chopping trees and moving stones to build houses.
These monkeys had clear division of labor and skilled craftsmanship, and before long, the foundation of a yard covering ten acres had been laid.
The old monkey in linen clothes walked into the dense forest and soon came to Xu Chen with a jar of wine.
"Sir, this is the monkey wine brewed by our wine monkey clan. Please enjoy it." The old monkey said with a smile.
"No spirit coins." Xu Chen looked at the old monkey.
"Free for adults."
"That's pretty cool. A one-stop service for site selection and house construction, and there are also gifts in return." Looking at those professional monkeys, Xu Chen couldn't help but praise them.
"Do some work that the human adults are unwilling to do, and earn a living." The old monkey said modestly.
"I see there are many foreign tribes in the sect. What is the sect's attitude towards you?" Xu Chen asked curiously.
"The foreign tribes in the sect existed before the Daxi Sect was established. They kept us here for convenience and have continued to pass on and multiply until now."
Xu Chen watched as Monkey Wine took out two large ceramic bowls, poured two bowls of wine, and pushed one of the bowls in front of the old monkey.
"Don't worry, sir. These are good monkeys who can dig caves and build houses. Your residence will be ready in one day at the latest."
The old monkey took the bowl of wine flattered.
"If you have any miscellaneous matters in the immortal palace in the future, you can just tell us wine monkeys. We can do anything." The old monkey drank the bowl of wine and started selling again.
"How much does it cost?" Xu Chen took a sip of the monkey wine, and after it went down his throat, a warm current flowed through his body.
"It's free. If you are satisfied, just give me some money."
While the man and the monkey were talking, a group of ten-foot-tall monkeys came from the distance and brought a pile of huge rocks, some of which were even as big as houses.
"The monkeys in the Treasure Body Realm also do this."
A boulder the size of a house weighs at least hundreds of thousands of pounds, and can only be lifted by a person at least at the Treasure Body Realm.
"This is a good job. All the monkeys in the Treasure Body Realm are rushing to do it." The old monkey looked as if he had gotten a good thing.
"I never thought about going to work in the human city. I can earn at least a few hundred spirit coins a month in the Treasure Body Realm."
In Yunshou City, Xu Chen often saw aliens working, and they were living a relatively comfortable life.
"Your Excellency doesn't know that only those alien races who have the support of human bigwigs can go to human cities to work."
“If they dare to go like these, they won’t survive more than three days among humans.” The old monkey pointed at the monkeys in the Treasure Body Realm.
"Okay." Xu Chen expressed his understanding. In his previous life, the old lady also had a territory when she picked up a bottle or a cardboard box.
A day later, a courtyard covering an area of ten acres with a rockery garden was built.
"Sir, your 10 battle flags can just cover the entire yard."
"Except for a six-acre training ground in the courtyard, the rest of the room has been landscaped for you."
After the old monkey took Xu Chen across the training ground and into a stone archway, Xu Chen saw the landscaping of the courtyards in the Jiangnan water towns.
“It’s professional.”
"In addition to the room where you can rest and meet guests, there are 5 guest rooms, an alchemy room, a talisman drawing room, a weapon refining room, a magic weapon pavilion, etc."
Xu Chen thought of things he had never thought of, and Lao Hou built almost all of them for him.
“Great value for money.”
After looking at each room, he thought that it could be habitable if some furniture was added, and these things happened to be in Xu Chen's storage bag.
The old monkey took Xu Chen for a walk and then left.
Xu Chen flipped his hand and 10 formation flags appeared. They were then inserted into various corners of the courtyard according to the instructions in the jade slip.
A beam of spiritual light flew out from each of the ten formation flags and gathered in the sky, then formed a bowl-shaped light shield that protected the entire yard.
"The simplest fog array, the same as the one at home." Xu Chen studied the array and curled his lips.
This thing can be broken with a little effort even at the Qi and Blood level.
"It's better than nothing."
It was almost dusk at this time. Xu Chen in the room took out a bright lamp, which instantly illuminated the room as bright as day.
"I have officially joined the sect. I will write a letter to my parents to report my mistakes." Xu Chen took out a pen and paper, put them on the newly built wooden table, and began to write the letter.
"Dad and Mom, I am writing to you. I have already entered the Daxi Sect and everything is going well."
"When I joined the sect..."
He kept writing for a full hour.
He wrote down all his thoughts and what happened to him when he joined the sect in the letter, and told them his new address.
I wrote for four full pages before I reluctantly stopped.
He took out a special envelope, put the letter in it, wrote the address and his father's name on the envelope, and then threw it directly out of the window.
The letter flew towards the sky like a rising feather. Before long, it passed through the formation covering the yard and flew up to a height of hundreds of feet.
An elegant white delivery crane quickly flew by, grabbed the letter and flew into the sky.
Xu Chen sat by the window in the room, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and couldn't help feeling homesick.
"It seems that I haven't practiced hard enough. I'm starting to miss home."
Xu Chen closed the window, sat cross-legged on the bed and entered the Holy White Space.
He pushed open the door of the Six Styles of the Holy Ape with skill.
"Your grandpa is here!"
Ever since Xu Chen discovered that no matter what he said, nice or bad, it couldn't affect the attitude of the clone in the room towards him, he completely let go.
"Come on, you little loser who can only take 30 of my moves. You little loser who took 6 years to enter the Qi and Blood realm."
The clone slightly took a stance to meet the enemy, and the shadow of the holy ape behind him roared.
Xu Chen took the initiative to rush towards the clone, and the energy and blood in his body increased layer by layer.
The first 10 moves were fought back and forth, and the next 10 moves were barely holding on. After the 28th move, he was not careful and his foot was grabbed by the clone.
What followed was a re-enactment of the classic scene, where Xu Chen was like a broken sack, being thrown dozens of times in a row before finally collapsing.
In less than ten breaths, Xu Chen's consciousness incarnation condensed again and pushed the door open.
"Come on, continue~"
After 10 consecutive challenges, Xu Chen finally achieved a good score of 32 moves.
As soon as his consciousness returned to his body, he felt weak instantly. Xu Chen fell on the bed and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Xu Chen made breakfast with the spiritual rice he brought with him.
"Do you want to find a foreigner to cook for you?"
Xu Chen said hesitantly while eating breakfast, "I had made this suggestion when I was chatting with Lao Hou."
"I'll tell you when the time comes."
After breakfast, Xu Chen came to the training ground and began to practice the Six Styles of the Holy Monkey.
After a morning of practice, Xu Chen left the yard and raised the disciple token in his hand.
Not long after, a giant flying goose landed in front of Xu Chen.
"Let's go to the nearest market." Xu Chen turned over and rode on Feiyan.
"One spirit coin, let's go!"
The flying geese flapped their wings and flew towards a mountain range in the distance.
"Only when you reach the Treasure Body Realm can you have the spiritual power to control magic weapons. At that time, I must buy a flying boat first." Xu Chen was distressed. He could not afford the consumption of flying every day.
The nearest market is on the top of a mountain, and the market is very bustling.
As soon as Xu Chen landed here, he saw four female disciples of the Tricolor Fox Clan standing at the entrance of the market.
"This market was opened by a chief steward of the Tricolor Fox Clan. The things sold here are relatively cheap."
After Feiyan put Xu Chen down, he spread his wings and flew away.
