Good Fortune Immortal Road

Chapter 33: Experience in Training

After a day of traveling, Shen Lang looked around and saw wild rabbits constantly appearing. He had a thought and went forward to catch a few wild rabbits, intending to roast them and eat. These rabbits lived in such a dangerous place, each one was plump and healthy, and roasting them would definitely be a delicious treat.

In his past life, Shen Lang also loved to barbecue outdoors, which gave him some experience in cooking. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to handle these delicious rabbits. Soon, a fire was lit, and Shen Lang prepared the rabbits before starting to roast them.

Watching the plump rabbits being roasted over the intense fire, with the delicious fat dripping down, Shen Lang's appetite was instantly aroused. He slowly added some other spices and roasted a delicious rabbit. Smelling the fragrant aroma, Shen Lang tore off a leg without hesitation and began to savor it.

Just as Shen Lang was about to enjoy his meal, he unexpectedly saw a golden monkey appearing on a tree in front of him, staring at the rabbit leg in his hand and drooling. Shen Lang observed the cute monkey in front of him and tore off another rabbit leg to throw to the monkey on the tree. He was curious to find that the monkey also liked to eat meat.

The agile little monkey caught the rabbit leg thrown by Shen Lang and ate the delicious meat without any hesitation. The two of them shared this rare dinner together. Soon, the little monkey finished the meat in its hand and even stared at the remaining half of the rabbit meat in Shen Lang's hand with longing.

This little monkey didn't expect to have a small body but a big appetite. Since Shen Lang started cultivating, he rarely ate these things. This barbecue was just a momentary craving, so he divided the remaining rabbit into several pieces and threw them to the little monkey to eat.

Soon, the little monkey finished off a rabbit. Seeing that Shen Lang no longer had any rabbit meat in his hand, the little monkey felt a bit disappointed, as if it hadn't eaten enough. It made a grimace at Shen Lang with a bared teeth expression.

This lively expression made Shen Lang burst into laughter. After finishing its meal, the little monkey patted its butt and agilely slipped away. Shen Lang didn't expect to encounter such an intelligent monkey.

As the sky grew dark, Shen Lang prepared to rest early. He took out the things given by the Wine Sword Ancestor, among which was a set of flags for setting up protection against wild beasts and poisonous insects when camping in the wilderness.

This only required a simple concealment formation to achieve. However, many cultivators couldn't learn this kind of high-level knowledge in the early stages. When they were in the wilderness, they could only be cautious and on guard. Shen Lang's foundation in formations was already very good. Apart from lacking experience, he could easily set up this simple formation.

Soon, the concealment formation was set up properly. Shen Lang sat cross-legged within it and began to cultivate. If it were in another place, Shen Lang would have to set up defensive mechanisms.

However, this is still within the territory of the Netherworld Sect, so Shen Lang is not worried about being attacked. It is unlikely that anyone would have the audacity to do such a thing on the Netherworld Sect's turf.

Although Shen Lang is focused on cultivation, he doesn't dare to fully immerse himself in it like he does in a quiet room. He still maintains a trace of clarity.

The concealment formation is still effective. Wild beasts occasionally pass by while hunting, but this formation perfectly hides Shen Lang. To these beasts, this place appears to be nothing more than an empty field.

Occasionally, mosquitoes and insects would bump into the formation, but they are easily repelled. Shen Lang can peacefully cultivate here.

In the forest at night, there are occasional insect chirping and bird calls, as well as the sounds of wild beasts tearing into their prey. Shen Lang is somewhat worried about the little monkey he shared food with earlier. He wonders if the little creature is safe.

Looking at the boundlessly beautiful galaxy in the night sky, who would have thought that endless slaughter is taking place in this starlit forest?

This is also the law of nature, the survival of the fittest. Shen Lang has no intention of changing anything. If you save one pitiful creature, other creatures will become meals for other creatures due to lack of food.

Cultivators are the same. Only by constantly improving their cultivation and becoming stronger can they avoid becoming targets themselves.

In the past life, although everyday life was a struggle, that simple happiness was also sweet.

In this life, being able to cultivate various spells and having endless surface glory may bring opportunities to become famous in the future. However, how many lives will be lost in the process?

Surface glory, inner pain, who can understand? People always say that immortals are good, but they can't forget about fame and fortune.

On this path, Shen Lang is ready to write his own brilliance. Perhaps it will be filled with bones and bloodshed, but for the sake of the people around him, Shen Lang is determined to continue. He also wants to see what his final achievement will be.

There is a slight longing in his heart to return home. If one day Shen Lang's divine ability reaches its peak and he becomes renowned throughout the world, he wonders if his strength at that time will allow him to return to his previous life's home.

The battle for survival in the forest continues. As the eastern sky brightens, the wild beasts in the forest begin to return to their nests. The first rays of sunlight penetrate through the leaves, and the crisp chirping of birds fills the air.

After stretching his limbs, Shen Lang's night of cultivation is complete. His meridians are almost fully opened, and he will soon break through to the Qi Condensation stage.

Shen Lang doesn't need to rush for quick gains. Patiently cultivating every day is already enough. He puts away the concealment formation and prepares to continue his journey.

Looking up at the weather today, it seems that there won't be any strong winds or storms along the way. It's good weather for traveling.

After tidying up his things, Shen Lang was about to set off when he suddenly felt something fall on his head. Sensing no hostility, he easily caught the object that had fallen.

Taking a closer look, he realized it was actually a peach. Shen Lang looked up at the tree and saw that it was the little monkey he had treated to rabbit meat yesterday.

It seemed that the little monkey was fine last night and had come to invite Shen Lang for breakfast early in the morning.

Looking at the little monkey, Shen Lang smiled and said, "Thank you for breakfast, but I don't have any roasted meat for you today."

Hearing Shen Lang's voice, the little monkey quickly climbed up the nearest tree and gestured for Shen Lang to taste the peach in his hand.

The little monkey's every move was like that of a Perfected Being, which amused Shen Lang. He wiped the peach in his hand and took a bite.

The skin was thin, the flesh was thick, and the juice was sweet. It was no less delicious than some spiritual fruits Shen Lang had eaten at the place of Old Ancestor Jiu Jian. Seeing Shen Lang eating the peach with gusto, the little monkey happily jumped around on the tree.

Soon, Shen Lang finished the peach. At this moment, the little monkey started imitating Shen Lang's actions from yesterday, indicating that it wanted Shen Lang to roast meat for it again.

No wonder it came early in the morning to bring him a peach. It turned out that it wanted him to cook something delicious for it. This made Shen Lang both laugh and cry.

Helplessly, Shen Lang had to go and catch another wild rabbit. The little monkey watched as Shen Lang went to catch the rabbit and even took the initiative to help guide him.

Soon, Shen Lang had several rabbits in his hands and quickly processed them, starting a fire to cook.

The little monkey, no longer afraid of Shen Lang, sat directly in front of him, staring fixedly at the roasted meat in Shen Lang's hand, with drool flowing down its mouth.

Shen Lang smiled wryly and looked at the greedy monkey. "This will be the last time I roast meat for you. I'll be leaving soon, and you won't have anything to eat. So, this time, I'll make a few more for you."

Soon, Shen Lang finished preparing the rabbits. The little monkey, unable to wait, jumped up and tried to bite the roasted meat in Shen Lang's hand.

Helpless, Shen Lang had to tear the meat into pieces and give it all to the little monkey, who eagerly tore into the meat.

In just a few bites, it finished one rabbit completely. Shen Lang left the remaining rabbits there and said to the little monkey, "Alright, these are all yours. Now, I have to go. We'll meet again in the future."

Although the little monkey was enjoying its meal, when it saw Shen Lang standing up and preparing to leave, it let go of the rabbit meat in its hand and jumped up, grabbing onto Shen Lang's clothes and making a series of squeaking noises, as if it wanted to say something.

Shen Lang looked at the monkey, which was making a fuss, with a headache. After a while, he finally understood what the little monkey wanted to convey. It actually wanted Shen Lang to stay and roast meat for it every day.

"That won't do. I still have things to do. You can have all these roasted meats. Otherwise, come with me and you can still have roasted meats in the future."

The little monkey seemed to understand Shen Lang's meaning. It let go of Shen Lang's clothes and sat there, seemingly contemplating.

Shen Lang smiled and watched the monkey deep in thought. Soon, the little monkey came up with an idea.

It ran to the remaining four or five roasted rabbits and continued eating them quickly. Shen Lang couldn't help but wonder how its stomach could hold so much.

Looking at the little monkey happily eating, Shen Lang felt a bit regretful. But it didn't matter. Being able to meet was fate. Shen Lang decided to set off.

Just as he took a few steps, he heard the little monkey behind him, squealing and chasing after him, with the last rabbit in its mouth.

Shen Lang stopped and looked at the little monkey running towards him. The little monkey jumped onto Shen Lang's shoulder and made funny gestures towards him.

Shen Lang smiled and set off with the little monkey on his shoulder. Under the sunlight, a young man in a green robe walked step by step on the road, with a cute little monkey on his shoulder, and the monkey was gnawing on a roasted rabbit leg.

After traveling for half a day, Shen Lang arrived at a small town. Although it was called a town, it was actually a place where the Netherworld Sect's menial disciples settled down after their cultivation stagnated. For many years, generation after generation had lived here, hoping that a formal disciple would emerge among their descendants.

This small town was called Mingtu Town. There were many similar towns within the Netherworld Sect's territory. These people had the utmost respect for the Netherworld Sect and wholeheartedly wished for someone among their descendants to fulfill their wishes.

This reminded Shen Lang of the exams in his previous life, where all parents hoped that their children could change their destinies through repeated exams. The descendants of the Netherworld Sect's menial disciples living here had the same feelings.

Shen Lang walked towards the small town with the little monkey named Wufan. Although it was called a town, there were many menial disciples of the Netherworld Sect here, and even some formal disciples.

There were many formal disciples here to handle affairs. This place was also a trading location under the jurisdiction of the Netherworld Sect. Besides disciples from their own sect, there were also many disciples from other sects or independent cultivators who came here to trade.

Because this place was protected by the Netherworld Sect, doing business here was very safe. Although the shop rent might be higher, as the dominant sect in the Southern Region, the recognition of the things here was still high.

Compared to the trading markets run by some sects, where there were occasional troublemakers and many cases of selling inferior goods, these places had been well managed by the Netherworld Sect over the years.

All the rules were personally set by the Netherworld Sect after years of summarization. Besides protecting the interests of external traders, they also restrained their own disciples from engaging in unfair practices. This was one of the reasons why the Netherworld Sect gained trust.

After all, for such a behemoth sect, rules were the most important. Even if your status and strength were unparalleled, the rules of the sect could not be broken. This was a conclusion reached by many people after trying to challenge the rules.
