Chapter 243 It’s time to put alchemy on the agenda
The macaques are a species of macaques that migrate throughout the year, and they prefer higher altitudes.
A group of monkeys were just like Xiang Yuanyuan going up the mountain. They walked at a leisurely pace and would pick up any wild fruit they saw. They would eat the edible ones directly and take a few bites of the inedible ones before spitting them out.
As they walked and stopped, the sun had risen and the monkeys came to an area where the trees were not so dense, so they could get some sunlight and stopped moving. Some of the monkeys began to be alert, some began to play around, and some even picked lice from each other.
Perhaps they knew that the two had no intention of hurting them, so they chose to ignore them.
Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan were not far away, observing these short-tailed monkeys curiously.
After the monkeys calmed down, the short-tailed monkey that Du Ruo had seen several times took out kiwis from its cheek pouch and distributed them to the little monkeys.
The little monkey picked it up and started to chew it. They ate it in the same way as Duruo, without peeling the skin. They just held it with their paws and ate it in small bites.
But a new problem arose. The three little monkeys got kiwis and they started eating the fruits that the other little monkeys did not have their parents give them, so fights broke out.
Monkey groups and human groups are actually similar. When children fight, adults don't take it seriously at first. Du Ruo happened to be watching these little monkeys fighting.
The little monkeys were jumping up and down and fighting for the fruits. Du Ruo saw it very seriously, and as he watched, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
When observing a monkey, the most important thing is to observe its vertical jumping strength, climbing and grabbing skills, and the way of stretching its arms. After training the body to be more flexible, you can improve its vertical jumping, stretching, turning, striking, and dodging abilities.
Du Ruo understood all of this, and now watching this group of little monkeys playing and fighting, he even matched the monkey forms he had learned in his mind with them.
Gradually, the monkey shape in his mind began to lose its artificiality and became more agile, and the panel in Du Ruo's mind jumped, and the "Three Flowers and Five Qi" progress bar rose again, which meant that the monkey was formed.
This time, Du Ruo's learning of the monkey form was the least noisy. It did not require any rehearsal or deliberate imitation. However, when Du Ruo needed it, he could display the most powerful monkey form.
“Squeak!! Squeak!!!”
The monkeys fought like children, without any restraint. Two of them accidentally fell off the branch while fighting over kiwi fruit.
Fortunately, the two little monkeys were very small and nimble. Although they were not injured, they were frightened and screamed sharply.
Their cries naturally attracted the "parents" over. A female monkey, who was originally picking lice from the short-tailed monkey that Du Ruo knew, came to the side of the two little monkeys.
The mother monkey picked up the two little monkeys from the ground, and without any words of comfort, she stretched out her palms and started spanking the two monkeys on their butts.
“Pah, p ...
The two monkeys each hit twice, and the effect was immediate. The little monkey stopped crying, and the other little monkeys stopped fighting or making trouble.
"Pfft~~"
Only Xiang Yuanyuan laughed. The monkeys are really like humans and treat children in the same way.
"Let's go, we won't watch anymore, let's go see the clouded leopard family and then go back."
Du Ruo also laughed, but after laughing, he said something to Xiang Yuanyuan.
"Is it done?"
Xiang Yuanyuan looked at Du Ruo with joy. She knew Du Ruo quite well and knew that he was probably observing the monkeys for the purpose of practicing martial arts. Now that he suddenly stopped watching them, he must have gained something.
"Well, let's go. I'll carry you on my back."
Du Ruo just nodded. In fact, the improvement of a certain form of boxing would not bring much improvement to Du Ruo's fighting skills.
As Du Ruo improved, no matter who he faced, when he threw a punch, no matter what kind of boxing technique he used or just an ordinary straight punch, it made little difference. With the advantage of speed and strength, most of the techniques became useless.
Moreover, the monkey form is not as powerful as the bear form, not as explosive as the tiger form, not as destructive as the eagle form, and is far inferior to the snake form in fighting. The effect of the monkey fist can only be shown when it is twisting and moving.
The strategy of moving around is more suitable for fights at the same level. Unfortunately, Du Ruo has not found an opponent at the same level as himself so far.
Or maybe Hill Samuel could compete with Du Ruo in terms of strength and physical fitness after being injected with drugs.
However, Du Ruo's control and application of strength far exceeded Hill Samuel. Even if Du Ruo did not use the snake fist at that time, he could have killed Samuel with just a punch.
However, Du Ruo does not think that the monkey form is useless because of these. Not to mention that the comprehension of the monkey form has greatly increased the progress bar of the "Three Flowers and Five Qi", Du Ruo has a vague feeling that the comprehension of the monkey form can also improve his control over his "spirit, energy and spirit" a lot.
Moreover, Du Ruo has always had an idea that if he wants to perfect the Twelve Xingyi Punches and practice the final dragon form, he needs to master all the other forms.
Du Ruo was very curious about what the dragon form would look like.
……
With Du Ruo as their mount, Xiang Yuanyuan advanced very quickly. After traveling through the forest for more than ten minutes, they arrived at a familiar boulder.
The clouded leopard family is still as carefree as before. The mother clouded leopard lies in the den, wagging her tail constantly. Her long tail is like a cat toy, attracting the two little clouded leopards to pounce on her non-stop.
After pouncing on the tail, the little clouded leopard will gently take a few bites.
"Meow~"
Seeing Du Ruo coming, the mother clouded leopard immediately pushed the two little clouded leopards away and rubbed her head against Du Ruo.
The clouded leopard mother would only take the initiative to get close to Du Ruo and completely ignore Xiang Yuanyuan.
The two of them didn't bring any beef today, so they just hugged and touched each other, then they sat on the boulder and began to meditate.
Xiang Yuanyuan was still practicing the Hunyuan Yi Qigong taught by Du Ruo, while Du Ruo was constantly trying to obtain the mental skills from ancient books.
After Du Ruo finished meditating, the mother clouded leopard ignored the little clouded leopards and turned to go into the woods. The two little clouded leopards found a new entertainment target and kept climbing on Du Ruo.
After about an hour, they both opened their eyes almost at the same time. Xiang Yuanyuan was getting more and more used to the practice, so she stood up and stretched her body.
Du Ruo looked at the clouded leopard family beside him.
"Meow~~"
Seeing Du Ruo looking at her, the mother clouded leopard came to Du Ruo with a fat gray rabbit in her mouth. She put the rabbit down and rubbed Du Ruo with her head. The meaning was obvious, asking Du Ruo to start eating.
"Woo~~"
But before Du Ruo could open his mouth, the two little clouded leopards pounced on the food as soon as they saw it, biting the gray rabbit while making "wuwu" sounds with their mouths.
"Bang~bang~"
The mother clouded leopard slapped the two little clouded leopards one by one, and sent them flying. After slapping the little clouded leopards away, the mother clouded leopard looked at Du Ruo.
"Haha, you guys eat it, we won't eat it."
Du Ruo ignored the two little clouded leopards that rolled away, and put his hand on the clouded leopard mother's head and touched it.
Seeing that Du Ruo didn't eat, the clouded leopard mother started to take the big gray rabbit to the side and eat it.
The two little clouded leopards smelled the blood and came over happily...
Because we had wasted a lot of time going up the mountain to clear the way and following the monkeys, the sun was already high in the sky, so we didn't stay too long and prepared to go down the mountain.
The clouded leopard family has become accustomed to Du Ruo's short stays, and when Du Ruo leaves, he just looks at them.
……
"Yuanyuan, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Auntie will make it for you."
Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan went down the mountain. Her mother didn't ask where they went. She just asked Xiang Yuanyuan if she had eaten, even though it was already eleven o'clock.
"Auntie, we ate a lot of fruits, and these are all wild fruits from the mountain. They are still a little sour now, but they will definitely taste good after a day. Auntie, remember to eat them when the time comes."
Xiang Yuanyuan smiled and took out kiwis from her and Du Ruo's pockets. These were picked when they came down the mountain.
"Okay, I'm sure I'll remember."
My mother always smiles whenever she faces Xiang Yuanyuan.
"Dingling bell~"
The three were talking on the first floor, but Du Ruo heard the ringing of a cell phone in the room on the second floor.
"I'm going to go up and take a shower, you guys chat."
Du Ruo said something and then went upstairs. The cell phone was still ringing. It was an unfamiliar number, so Du Ruo picked it up.
"Hello Mr. Du, we have some things here that need your personal signature."
"Oh, I'll send you an address, and you can send it over here."
Du Ruo guessed that these should be the other things that the middle-aged policeman mentioned yesterday. The reason why he didn't leave was that he was waiting for this, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
It only took a few minutes to drive from Yangjia Village to Dujia Village. Du Ruo simply took a shower and when he went downstairs, he saw a car parked at the door.
A man was waiting next to the car with a list in his hand.
"Hello, I'm Du Ruo, do you need my ID?"
Du Ruo walked over, feeling a little curious about what it was.
"No ID is needed. I've seen your photo. Just sign your name. There's a lot of stuff in the car. I'll help you move it in."
The man looked at Du Ruo and handed the pen and paper to Du Ruo. Then he started to open the car door and took out the two boxes.
By the time Du Ruo finished signing, the things had already been moved to the living room. The man took the list and didn't stay for long. He turned around, got in the car and left.
"There are so many boxes again, it can't be fish again."
Mom and Xiang Yuanyuan stood aside and looked at the box. Fortunately, Xiang Yuanyuan just watched, but Mom started to frown. She wanted to take a break from eating fish every meal.
"I don't know either. I'll know after I see it."
Du Ruo opened one of the boxes, and a number of long boxes appeared, not only boxes, but also some bottles and jars.
"Wow, this is powder made from rhinoceros horns, this is top-quality wild ginseng, and this should be bezoar. These are all very precious medicinal materials. This box alone is worth a lot of money."
Xiang Yuanyuan is an expert when it comes to medicinal materials. He can identify even rare ones immediately without looking at the labels.
"Well, I didn't expect it to be these things."
Du Ruo took out a booklet from the box, on which were marked the names of various medicinal herbs. After comparing them, he could tell that they were all the medicinal herbs listed in the pill recipe.
"It seems that alchemy can be put on the agenda. I need to ask the blacksmith shop to help me build a furnace."
Du Ruo laughed, and at the same time he knew very well that these were the rewards given to him by his superiors, and also the rewards for getting those reagents.
