I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

As the old monkey was about to leave Peach Blossom Valley and report the situation to Li Chen, this thought surged in his mind: if he did not fully record the strength of the Rain Ancestral Witch, then Li Chen and his group would face a greater threat. So for Li Chen's sake, he had to stay here and record more information about the Rain Ancestral Witch!

He squatted quietly at the foot of a mountain in Peach Blossom Valley, observing the Rain Witch's every move with full concentration. At this time, the eastern sky gradually turned pale, and the sky gradually brightened.

On the other side of the valley, Li Chen and his companions were slowly waking up from their sleep. After a full night's rest, they looked refreshed.

"System, please tell me about the current status of the bond skill," Li Chen asked the system impatiently. After experiencing the thrilling battle last night, he was eager to know whether the bond skill had been enhanced.

You know, this Flower-Fruit Mountain is the legendary ancestral vein of the Three Mountains and the source of the Five Islands. It is a treasure land where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges. After the fierce battle last night, he had clearly felt the significant growth of his own cultivation.

"Congratulations, host! In the fierce battle you had with the five women in Huaguo Mountain last night, their bond skills have all been successfully upgraded to the maximum level!" This time, even the system's announcement seemed to contain some joy that was difficult to conceal.

Indeed, Li Chen's ability to upgrade all the female bosses' bond skills to the maximum level was truly astonishing. Furthermore, with this significant increase in combat power, he could clearly feel his abilities improving by leaps and bounds even in certain private aspects.

Until this moment, those female bosses were advancing rapidly. Until this moment, those female bosses were still pulling. Li Chen shook his head helplessly. These people were really weak and loved to play. Li Chen used his magic power to inject some of his strength into their bodies, and they quickly woke up.

"Owner!"

"Master brother!"

"Li Chen!"

When the girls saw Li Chen, they all cheered. After all, last night’s experience was really special!

"What is this?! What is this?!"

Li Chen finally discovered the strange key on the table. This key was the one the old monkey had left for him before he set out. Now that the Great Sage had returned, the herb garden should be handed over to him once again!

Li Chen stood up directly from the throne, looked around, and scanned the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain and the Demon-Destroying Army from Emei Mountain who came to help with his eyes as quickly as possible.

"Monkeys, have you seen that old monkey?"

Li Chen discovered that among the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain, the old monkey was missing, the old monkey who had always called him Grandpa Monkey King.

After hearing what Li Chen said, the monkeys shook their heads and said that they did not see where the old monkey went, but he was gone when they woke up.

"Grandpa Dasheng, oh no, Grandpa Li Chen! The key in your hand seems to be the key to the Huaguoshan Herb Garden that the Monkey Elder has been guarding!"

One of the monkeys in the group looked at the key in Li Chen's hand and said. This made Li Chen feel confused. Could it be that there was a medicine garden in Huaguo Mountain? When he followed the Dragon King of the East China Sea to inspect Huaguo Mountain during the day, he didn't find any medicine garden!

"What did you say? There's a medicine garden in Huaguo Mountain?!"

Li Chen said doubtfully. Li Chen thought to himself: This Flower-Fruit Mountain is indeed the residence of Sun Wukong. There is even a hidden medicine garden that I don't know about. It seems that this medicine garden is very hidden, and Sun Wukong doesn't want anyone to enter the medicine garden and steal his medicinal materials.

Hearing Li Chen's words, the monkey quickly said, "Yes! It's like this. When the Great Sage wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and took the fairy peaches from it, we in Huaguo Mountain knew that fairy peaches needed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to grow. And Huaguo Mountain is said to be the ancestral vein of the Three Mountains, the source of the Five Islands, and a place where spiritual energy gathers. We planted the remaining peach pits in the medicine garden of Huaguo Mountain. The gate to the medicine garden is behind you, on the stone wall by the throne!"

"What?! That medicinal garden is right behind the throne!"

Li Chen was shocked by the monkey. He could not imagine that there was another world in the Flower-Fruit Mountain. He quickly stood up, took the key on the stone table, walked to the stone wall behind the throne, and showed the key to the passage.

The key flickered with a faint light, and then the stone wall disappeared, replaced by a beautiful scenery like a paradise. This is the medicinal garden of Huaguo Mountain.

This medicinal garden is filled with precious peach seeds that Sun Wukong looted from the Queen Mother's Peach Festival! They are divided into different categories: peaches that ripen once every 3000 years, peaches that ripen once every 6000 years, and peaches that ripen once every 9000 years!

If an ordinary person eats these peaches, he or she will immediately become an immortal. If a cultivator eats them, these peaches will help them increase their lifespan and enhance their cultivation. Therefore, these peaches have always been the most sought-after item for gods, demons and monsters.

In the vast world created by Journey to the West, there are numerous treasures that can help people achieve immortality. Among them, the most well-known are Tang Monk's flesh, Zhenyuan Daxian's ginseng fruit, Taishang Laojun's elixir, and Queen Mother's peaches.

Let's start with Tang Monk's flesh. Since when, the legend of its immortality has spread. Because of this, numerous demons and monsters along the way coveted Tang Monk and his disciples, hoping to capture and consume them. However, compared to other treasures, Tang Monk's flesh is relatively easy to obtain.

Consider the Zhenyuan Great Immortal's ginseng fruit. While its benefits are extraordinary, obtaining it is anything but easy. Zhenyuan Great Immortal possesses a profound cultivation level approaching that of a semi-saint, and when he stands upon the earth, holding the Book of Earth, he possesses a power comparable to that of a saint. Those demons and spirits who attempt to seize the ginseng fruit are courting their own doom.

As for the Taishang Laojun's elixir, it was treasured within his Tushita Palace, located above the Thirty-Three Heavens. The Lihen Palace was inherently inaccessible, making it difficult for ordinary people to even approach. Even if they were lucky enough to reach it, the gates were heavily guarded, with soldiers on high alert. How could anyone be allowed to take the elixir without permission?

The Queen Mother's peaches were even more precious, and obtaining one in Heaven often required a long wait. To Li Chen's astonishment, a sea of ​​peach blossoms in full bloom suddenly appeared before his eyes.

You know, even in Heaven, these peaches take a long time to bloom and bear fruit. But in this Flower-Fruit Mountain, in just a few hundred years, they have blossomed and borne abundant fruit. This amazing sight left Li Chen dumbfounded and incredulous.

Fairy Hibiscus, Fire-Eating Poisonous Scorpion, Hundred Fairy Butterfly, Nine-tailed Sky Fox, Fairy Jade Rabbit, and Li Zhaohuang who entered with Li Chen were also stunned by the place. Not only were peaches of various years planted here, but also various rare and precious herbs with special functions.

If these rare and precious herbs were refined into elixirs and magic medicines, they would definitely greatly improve one's cultivation and combat effectiveness. It could be said that Sun Wukong left Li Chen a considerable legacy!
