"The Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk doesn't belong to the squirrel either!"
Duan Gujin argued cunningly.
"Finders keepers! It found the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk before you did; it just couldn't beat you in a fight!"
The monkey wrote.
"That place's previous owner was a member of the Human Clan; it just discovered the location; it's not the rightful owner!"
Duan Gujin said.
"It discovered it over a hundred years before you! It also knows many truths! There's a stone pillar above the pool with the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, emitting golden light all the time. I think that's the light emitted by the Shariputra! It turns out you're quite lucky, kid, to have actually gotten the Shariputra!"
The monkey wrote.
Duan Gujin inhaled sharply; he knew the squirrel must have told the monkey everything about the underground cave.
The squirrel didn't know why the stone pillar in the cave was constantly emitting golden light, but the monkey, worldly and wise, actually knew it was the light from the Shariputra.
The monkey's insights were enough to make Duan Gujin respect it.
"Why should I share a third with you! I can share half with the squirrel, but you haven't done anything!"
Duan Gujin wrote.
The monkey was silent for a moment, then continued to write, "Alright, you're right, I really didn't do anything! I've changed my mind. From now on, if you want to learn any skills, you must exchange them with Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, otherwise I won't teach you!"
"You're extorting me!"
Duan Gujin became angry.
"This is trading! I'm just fighting for my legitimate rights!"
The monkey wrote smugly.
"You cunning old monkey!"
Duan Gujin immediately admired the monkey's craftiness, his eyes flickering a few times before he wrote, "Then, can you teach it your Devil Clan's language? I want it to talk to me!"
"Possible! You just said the squirrel should get half of the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk. If you really want me to teach it our Devil Clan's language, you'll have to give me a bottle of the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk!"
"You're extorting me!"
Duan Gujin had not expected that when he wanted the monkey to teach the squirrel the Devil Clan's language, it would take the opportunity to drive a hard bargain.
This was unbearable!
Duan Gujin immediately exploded with rage.
"Why should I teach it the Devil Clan's language for no reason?"
The monkey wrote.
"Fine! I'll give you a bottle of this Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk!"
Duan Gujin tried to calm himself down, weighing the pros and cons, deciding that he should let the squirrel learn the Devil Clan's language first, so that later it could communicate with him.
Even though it would cost him a bottle of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, after weighing the pros and cons, he felt it was still a very worthwhile trade to let the squirrel learn the Devil Clan's language!
"Give it to me first!"
The monkey became excited immediately, took the Elixir Medicine Bottle that Duan Gujin handed over, inspected it, and after making sure that it contained Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, it hurriedly gulped down the Divine Milk like drinking water.
"You, you're wasting a treasure! Who drinks Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk like that?"
Duan Gujin, seeing this, instantly erupted with fury.
"Don't worry, I know my own body and just how precious this Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk is! I just want to tell you that I haven't wasted any of it! My body is special; I've stored all of it inside my body, and when the time comes, I'll release it!"
The monkey explained.
"So that's how it is! Then you didn't drink their Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk before?"
Duan Gujin frowned and asked.
"No, there were only two small bottles of it. You have the most on you. I wouldn't miss out on yours just because of those two!"
The monkey wrote.
Seeing what the monkey wrote, Duan Gujin's heart felt complicated, as he sensed he had been entangled by it.
"You haven't taught it the language of the Devil Clan yet?"
Duan Gujin remained silent for a while before he asked.
"Don't worry, I can make it learn the language of the Devil Clan in three days. It just needs more time to adapt to the Divine Thought I've conveyed to it! Once it has adapted, you'll be able to communicate with it!"
Seeing the words the monkey wrote on the ground, Duan Gujin breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Even though the monkey tricked me out of a bottle of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk, if it really enables the squirrel to speak, that would still be quite worth it for me!"
After a while, the monkey wrote on the ground.
"Duan Gujin, I can exchange some Martial Skills with you. Interested?"
Duan Gujin contemplated for a moment then wrote: "Yes!"
He knew that the monkey was Zhao Wuji's pet; it must know many things.
The monkey had always been unwilling to say anything, which made him very frustrated, and he didn't feel right about using force on the monkey.
He couldn't judge what kind of Big Move the monkey might have, and now that the monkey's Cultivation has recovered to the Martial Emperor Realm.
He was even less of an opponent for the monkey.
If the monkey were to forcibly take the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk from him, he would have no way to resist at all.
But now that the monkey wanted to exchange Martial Skills with him, he felt that if those skills were worth the exchange, he could swap them for the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk.
"What kind of Martial Skills do you want to exchange?"
The monkey asked.
Duan Gujin pondered for a while, then felt that he was not lacking ordinary Martial Skills, what he lacked were some unique Secret Techniques.
"Do you have any movement techniques that allow for spatial travel? I need a set of movement techniques capable of spatial travel?"
The monkey was silent for a moment, and then it wrote on the ground.
"I have a set called Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, which is my master's skill! I can teach it to you! Interested?"
Heavenly Demon Nine Steps?
Seeing these four characters, Duan Gujin racked his brains but couldn't recall ever hearing these four names in his previous life.
"Are you referring to Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, Zhao Wuji's exclusive Secret Technique?"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered a few times, then wrote on the ground.
"Yes!"
The monkey nodded vigorously in confirmation.
"Is this Heavenly Demon Nine Steps powerful?"
Duan Gujin asked tentatively.
"Extremely powerful, an exclusive Secret Technique of Zhao Wuji! Once you learn it, you will be able to freely traverse the Void. To learn this technique, there are two important conditions!"
"What conditions?"
"To execute the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, first, you must have strong Spiritual Power, and the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps consumes a lot of Spiritual Power. So, it's best for the cultivator to have many Elixir Pills that can quickly restore Spiritual Power. I see your Spiritual Power is quite strong, and you also have the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk. Thus, you have met the first condition!"
Duan Gujin pondered that the Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk would suffice to quickly restore the consumed Spiritual Power.
For him, if he mastered the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, then from now on, he could travel through space.
Once his strength was inferior to the enemy's, he could immediately escape.
"The second condition is that the cultivator's Martial Soul must have innate spatial abilities! Most Martial Artists' Martial Souls do not have spatial abilities, but the Giant Demon Dragon Elephant Martial Soul does have such innate abilities! Therefore, you can cultivate the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps! This Demon Nine Steps was developed by Zhao Wuji based on the characteristics of his own Martial Soul!"
Seeing what the monkey wrote on the ground, Duan Gujin suddenly understood.
"So that's how it is! How far can I travel with one use of the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps?"
Duan Gujin asked curiously.
