“We’ve been talking about a team-building trip for so long, and now we finally get to meet!”
Qi Tian stretched his back under the Five Elements Mountain, a bright smile on his face.
“I was busy with things in my world and haven’t had time to properly entertain you guys. I’m really sorry about that.”
Zhizun Bao scratched his head.
The little monkey beside them shrugged nonchalantly.
“What’s the big deal, work comes first.”
Their jovial conversation was interrupted by the Monkey King, trapped under the Five Elements Mountain, who looked miserable and said in a lifeless tone.
“Hey, I’m just saying, niceties are niceties, but can you guys turn off the recording first?”
Qi Tian, who was recording, casually switched off the recording feature in the group chat backend and said in a serious tone.
“Taozi Ge, you’re wrong about that.”
“We’d never be the type of people who record.”
“You’re seriously insulting my personality, no, monkey personality right now.”
“You need to apologize to me right now!”
Qi Tian clutched his chest, feigning hurt as if he’d been wronged.
The little monkey and Zhizun Bao joined Qi Tian in protest.
“That’s right, Taozi Ge.”
“We came here for team building, how could we possibly film boring videos?”
“Recording you all covered in dust and grime under the Five Elements Mountain, that’s absolutely not something we would do!”
You guys have your plans to record my embarrassing moments written all over your faces, do you think I’m blind?
I’m so stupid, I really am.
Knowing that they would record my embarrassing moments, I still foolishly agreed to their idea of coming to my world for team building.
Next time I go to their world, I’ll have to give them a good beating for each one of them.
“Alright, I know you haven’t had a drink in ages, so I brought you some good stuff.”
“Try it and see how it tastes.”
Qi Tian took out a wine gourd, wanting to hand it directly to the Monkey King, but seeing how restrained he was, it didn’t seem like he could hold a wine gourd and drink.
So he took out a cup, poured the wine into it, and then handed it to the Monkey King.
The Monkey King didn’t stand on ceremony and took the cup, draining it in one gulp.
Feeling the spiciness in his mouth, he couldn’t help but say.
“Good wine!”
After praising it, he curiously asked.
“Where’d you get this wine?”
“It’s not worse than the wine I drank at the Peach Banquet.”
The wine at the Peach Banquet was for entertaining guests, representing the face of the Queen Mother, so it naturally wouldn’t be bad.
But the wine Qi Tian casually brought out was not only no worse than the wine at the Peach Banquet, it even had healing properties.
That was pretty amazing.
“After Zhizun Bao completed that mission, besides the Great Sage’s Six Roots, he also gave me a wine gourd.”
“The wine brewed with different ingredients will have different effects.”
“The ingredients for brewing this wine are those you stole from the Great Sage Lao Jun.”
Qi Tian shrugged, he brewed this while he was bored in seclusion, and didn’t expect it to taste so good.
“Didn’t you say you were going to use those materials for alchemy?”
“I even got the alchemy furnace for you, and you used it for brewing wine instead?”
The Monkey King said, speechless.
“Just say if you’ll drink or not.”
Qi Tian rolled his eyes and poured another cup for the Monkey King.
“Drink, of course I’ll drink!”
The Monkey King didn’t mind the fact that those precious herbs were used for brewing wine, alchemy was a technical skill.
Besides talent, it also requires time, and you can’t just get it done in a short time.
Besides, Qi Tian’s main goal right now is cultivation, alchemy can wait.
“Xiao Tian Ge, I want some too.”
The little monkey stared longingly at the wine gourd, he’d never tasted wine before in his life.
“What kind of kid drinks wine?”
“Qi Tian Ge, don’t mind this little brat, pour me a cup first.”
Zhizun Bao suppressed the little monkey with one hand, he, who had recovered his mana, was one of the only two high-level battle powers in the group.
Although the little monkey had already reached the Divine Mind Returns to Void Realm, he was still far behind Zhizun Bao.
“No way, you guys are all drinking, I want some too!”
The little monkey slapped away Zhizun Bao’s hand and said stubbornly.
“Zhizun Bao is right, you’re too young, not suitable for drinking.”
“Have some juice.”
Qi Tian pulled out a bottle of juice and handed it to the little monkey, who finally settled down.
The four of them, those who drank juice drank juice, those who drank wine drank wine, and they ate some snacks to go with the drinks, chatting the afternoon away.
“It’s getting late, we should head back, we’ll come visit and drink with you next time.”
The meaning is there, but why does it sound like a prison visit?
Though the Monkey King’s current situation is indeed not that different from being in prison.
Just as they were about to leave, the Monkey King said.
“Qi Tian Xiong, could you please go to Flower Fruit Mountain and see how my monkey tribe is doing?”
He’s been trapped under the Five Elements Mountain for almost five hundred years, his only concern is the monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain.
Although the group chat could help him leave a phantom body behind when he goes to other worlds, it couldn’t help him get out of the Five Elements Mountain.
Otherwise, he would have gone himself long ago.
“Do you want me to go with you?”
Zhizun Bao asked.
His cultivation is high, he can handle any danger.
“No need, your cultivation is too high, suddenly going to Flower Fruit Mountain might attract Heaven’s attention.”
“Qi Tian Xiong is currently at the Qi Refinement and Transformation Realm, just right.”
The Monkey King shook his head and rejected Zhizun Bao’s proposal.
But Qi Tian, who was listening, felt like he’d been hit with an arrow to the knee.
What’s wrong with my low cultivation?
I’m laying a foundation!
You understand?
