Chapter 884: Once More, Washing the Creamy Skin in Hot Spring Water (Part 2)

Originally, Luo Quan had already prepared to rest, but not long after she turned off the light in the tent, movement appeared outside.

Through the faint light from the camp sentries, she saw a dark shadow appear outside her tent.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would likely have screamed in fear already.

However, Luo Quan was quite calm; she directly lifted the quilt and quietly moved her body over.

Just as she was preparing to throw a punch at this dark shadow through the tent, the System suddenly spoke: "The thing outside the tent is not a living creature; it is composed of spiritual energy."

"Not a living creature?" Luo Quan was startled. "Does that mean this is a treasure that has taken form, like Da Hei and Xiao Yu?"

"That should be the case, so don't be impulsive. Open the tent first and see what it wants to do."

Actually, there was no need for the System's reminder; Luo Quan already intended to do just that.

With so many tents in the camp, since this treasure happened to find her, it likely had some significance.

So, Luo Quan quietly unzipped the tent, wanting to see what exactly this thing was.

A few seconds later, a cute-looking golden snub-nosed monkey squeezed in. It looked up at Luo Quan and hopped twice happily.

Luo Quan reached out to touch its head; it did not dodge, but stayed in place, letting her touch it.

"This is a win!" Luo Quan felt great inside.

What is a koi fish? This is a koi fish!

Others fight to the death to dig out a pile of accumulated weapons and first-turn pills from caves, while she can have a top-tier supreme treasure deliver itself to her door while staying in her tent!

However, before she could be happy for long, the golden monkey slid out of her hand and retreated two steps.

Luo Quan looked at it in confusion, but the golden monkey just beckoned to her, then turned and squeezed out of the tent.

"It seems it wants to take me treasure hunting!" A look of excitement appeared in Luo Quan's eyes, and she followed it out.

But after coming out, she glanced at the tent where Qi Yuan was staying. If she just left like this, wouldn't Captain Qi be very worried when he couldn't find her tomorrow?

Luo Quan thought for a moment and left a note in the tent: "I discovered an unexpected harvest. Don't worry about me. Once I'm done, I will follow the positioning system to catch up."

Although this reason was still very irresponsible, there was no better way.

The temptation of a treasure that has taken form was simply too great; if she missed this village, there would be no such shop.

After leaving the note, Luo Quan chased in the direction where the golden monkey disappeared, and before long, she saw its figure hopping on the ground.

After the golden monkey saw Luo Quan catch up, it jumped directly onto a tree.

This height was nothing to her; with a slight exertion of force, she jumped up.

Seeing that Luo Quan's mobility was quite good, the golden monkey no longer held back and went full speed ahead. A golden ball could be seen jumping continuously between the tree trunks, rushing out several dozen meters in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, Luo Quan could still keep up with this level, and since the spiritual energy in the secret realm was extremely dense, she could fully recover her spiritual energy while jumping, which allowed her to maintain this high-speed state for quite a long time.

After jumping on the trees for half an hour like this, Luo Quan no longer had any idea where she was.

When she was jumping just now, there was still a mountain towering into the clouds in front of her.

But now the mountain was gone, and she didn't know if she was in the mountains or had already crossed that mountain.

The good news was that the golden monkey's speed finally slowed down; it seemed they were about to reach the destination.

"Ah—ah!"

Suddenly, the golden monkey stopped in front of a cave entrance and pointed inside, calling out.

This cave entrance was about as big as two soccer goals stacked together, completely covered by vines as thick as an adult's arm. She couldn't see what it looked like inside at all, only hearing the sound of rushing water, which sounded like a waterfall.

"It seems the treasure is inside." Luo Quan had been running for half an hour, and her body and mind were somewhat exhausted, so she sat on the ground, intending to rest for a while first.

However, the golden monkey was somewhat anxious, circling around her, and finally even tugged at her hem and called out twice, as if urging her to "GKD" (get it done).

"I don't have your stamina; let me rest for a while first." Luo Quan took a deep breath and asked the golden monkey to be patient.

Hearing this, the golden monkey could only sit helplessly at the cave entrance, its tail flicking back and forth anxiously.

Five minutes later, Luo Quan finished her meditation with eyes closed and stood up.

Sensing the movement, the golden monkey immediately jumped onto the vines excitedly and began helping her pull these obstacles away.

But even though the golden monkey's jumping ability was so amazing and its strength should be very great, it had no way to deal with these vines; after pulling for a long time, the vines didn't budge at all.

Even as the golden monkey exerted more force, the vines would shrink inward even more, simultaneously releasing a dazzling golden light.

In this golden light, Luo Quan saw the six-character mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" and immediately said in surprise: "Damn, is this a seal from the Tathagata Buddha?"

After saying this, she also reached out and grasped a vine.

However, strangely, the vines that had left the golden monkey helpless were pulled down by her with a light tug.

"So simple? It seems destiny is with me!" Luo Quan finally understood why the golden monkey found her; it was because only she could be unaffected by this golden light.

Thinking of this, Luo Quan directly stretched out both hands and plucked all the vines down.

Borrowing the moonlight, Luo Quan saw the situation inside the cave.

The position where she stood was like a balcony without railings. In front was a waterfall, with water flying down from several dozen meters above her head, then falling into a bottomless pit below.

The golden monkey pointed at the waterfall, signaling Luo Quan to jump over directly.

"Can this be jumped?" Luo Quan hesitated. If she jumped, wouldn't she be directly washed down by the waterfall?

"Ah—ah!" The golden monkey got anxious, ran behind Luo Quan, and pushed her forward.

Actually, regarding the scene in front of her, she had already vaguely guessed what place this was.

The waterfall in front of her looked scary, but it was actually the final hurdle for a carp to leap over the dragon gate; as long as one jumped over, one could transform into a dragon and ascend to heaven.

Of course, if one couldn't jump over, one should also be able to ascend to heaven.

"Jump, I sense a great opportunity behind the waterfall!" At this time, the System also started to incite her.

Although the System usually had a sharp tongue and liked to roast her, it had never pitted her, so after hearing this, Luo Quan finally made up her mind.

Holding the golden monkey in her arms, Luo Quan directly opened the third gate, the Life Gate, and then leaped forward fiercely.

The torrent falling from high altitude did not knock her down. After passing through the water curtain, a cave appeared before Luo Quan's eyes.

After landing steadily on the ground, her hanging heart finally let go.

There was no moonlight inside the cave, but many fireflies lived there, enough to illuminate every corner.

Borrowing the light of the fireflies, she saw a line of text on both sides of the cave entrance:

"Flower Fruit Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Heaven"

"It really is Flower Fruit Mountain!" There was no surprise in Luo Quan's eyes.

The secret realm by the sea, the monkey, the waterfall in the cave—if she still couldn't guess it, she would have wasted watching the 86 version of Journey to the West so many times.

"Let's go, let's see what exactly is in this cave." Luo Quan put the golden monkey on the ground and strode inside.

In her memory, there was a stone chair with neon lights in the Water Curtain Cave, but that was a plot in the TV series; she didn't remember what it was like in the original work.

As for the real situation in front of her, there was only a steaming pool inside the Water Curtain Cave.

And around the pool, quite a few pills were piled up.

"These pills are at least five-turn Golden Pills!"

The System's words made Luo Quan's heart almost skip a beat.

The next second, she waved her hand and directly swept all these pills into her bag.

The System actually had a storage space, but the volume was not much larger than two suitcases combined; it couldn't hold much, and it couldn't hold living things, so it was quite useless.

But now it came in very handy, just enough to hold all the pills on the ground.

"A first-turn pill can already be worth several months of hard cultivation; how powerful must these five-turn pills be?" Luo Quan stood with her hands on her hips, her mouth almost crooked from smiling.

"You can't eat them yet; the energy of a five-turn pill is too vast. If you eat it directly, you'll have big problems."

"Damn, I knew it!" Luo Quan had an "MMP" in her heart that she didn't know whether to say or not.

"So, I tossed and turned for half the night, and my real harvest is just this golden monkey?"

Luo Quan looked at the monkey on the ground, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

"How is that possible? This hot spring is a heaven-sent treasure; the spring water is crystal clear, without a trace of impurities, so clean that there isn't even a bacterium!"

Luo Quan's eyelids twitched: "So this is a pool of 84 disinfectant?"

"It's much more powerful than 84 disinfectant. Although my current knowledge permission cannot identify what exactly this is, you will definitely benefit and suffer no harm if you go in and soak; it can make your physique undergo a qualitative leap!"

"Is it that powerful?" Luo Quan was half-believing.

"Believe it or not." After saying this, the System went offline in a haughty manner, clearly hurt by Luo Quan's series of questions, the kind that couldn't be coaxed no matter what.

She called out twice without a response, and Luo Quan didn't intend to coax it either.

Damn, she was the master; she couldn't even question it twice?

Complaining was complaining, but since soaking would only bring benefits and no harm, she definitely couldn't miss it.

Speaking of which, soaking in a hot spring was indeed very comfortable. Since returning from Flower Slope last time, she had been thinking about when to soak again; she didn't expect to be able to soak again so soon.

"I wonder if someone will suddenly break in." Luo Quan folded her clothes and put them aside, then walked in.

The hot spring water was very clear and didn't look deep, but after walking in, it directly submerged her collarbone.

The initial feeling was no different from an ordinary hot spring, warm and intimate.

But gradually, she felt this warm sensation seemed to be invading every pore of her body.

"It is recommended to dive down directly, don't be like Achilles back then." The System suddenly spoke up to remind Luo Quan.

As everyone knows, Achilles became vulnerable because his heel wasn't soaked in water, and he was killed by Apollo's arrow.

Hearing this, Luo Quan immediately took a deep breath, and her whole body suddenly sank down.

She didn't know what the composition of this hot spring water was; after opening her eyes, she didn't feel any irritation at all, but rather felt cool and comfortable, as if she had dripped eye drops.

Staying up late until now, plus the long-distance raid just now, her body should have already started to feel exhausted.

But after soaking for a while, Luo Quan felt that the exhaustion had disappeared at some point, and her spirits were getting better and better.

"System, have you detected what the composition of this water is now?" Luo Quan asked the System again.

"Look at your left hand side."

Luo Quan turned her head and saw a white round bead floating past her.

She hurriedly reached out to grasp it in her palm, but before she could look at it carefully, this round bead merged into her palm.

"Damn, what's the situation!" Luo Quan's eyes widened.

"This should be a Buddha bone relic left by a high monk. After meeting a fated person, it will automatically recognize its master and pass on all its wealth to you.

Clearly, you are this fated person, and this pool of hot spring should be the essence gathered by this Buddha bone relic over the years, which is why I said there are only benefits to soaking."

The System's answer made Luo Quan couldn't help but have some wild thoughts: "This high monk you mentioned, could it be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?"

"Since it's a high monk, it must be the Victorious Fighting Buddha."

"That's true." Luo Quan nodded.

However, a few seconds later, a sense of dizziness suddenly flooded her brain, and her two eyelids became incomparably heavy, like cotton filled with water.

This feeling was like being drunk, unable to suppress the desire to lie down and have a good dream.

Just when Luo Quan was worried about whether something had gone wrong, she suddenly discovered that her spirit was actually clear.

Everything in front of her changed from the cave hot spring to the sky.

Her whole person seemed to be surrounded by endless colorful clouds, and the sky was full of light, but she couldn't see the sun.

"Where am I?" Luo Quan asked foolishly.

"This should be the illusory world created by that Buddha bone relic, used for passing on the inheritance to you; it won't appear again after the inheritance is finished."

"Inheritance of what?" Luo Quan said excitedly.

"You'll know if you look up."

Following the System's words, Luo Quan looked up.

On the right side above her head was a majestic figure as tall as the sky.

This figure wore shining golden armor, a golden crown reflecting light, held the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in hand, and had a robe behind as red as clouds.

This was the only domestic superhero in the hearts of countless Chinese youths, Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!

And opposite the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was a Buddha statue flowing with white light all over, as if sculpted from white glaze. The whole Buddha sat on a twelve-petaled lotus throne, hands in a mudra, with a solemn and majestic appearance.

However, the expression of this Buddha statue was not compassionate at all, but rather with eyes wide open in anger, quite fierce.

Opposite was the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, so this should be the Victorious Fighting Buddha.

"Is this asking me to choose one of two?" Luo Quan felt it was a bit hard to choose.

The System explained: "You're thinking too much. This means both are yours, but you can choose one to practice first."

"Ah, this..." Luo Quan fell into embarrassment. ===== CHAPTER 885 =====
