Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Salt was a big problem.

Without this essential human necessity, people simply couldn't work for long periods of time, and many villagers had already started to think of ways to store the blood of ancient beasts.

The reason being that the blood contained a large amount of salt, acting as a supplement.

But could the village really resort to drinking blood and eating raw flesh?

Su Jie called over Meng Yunfeng and asked, "There must be rock salt in these wild mountains, otherwise it wouldn't be possible to sustain so many large ancient beasts. Can you find it? I don't understand geography or geology, I'll need to catch up on that when we get back."

Meng Yunfeng was full of black lines on his head.

Rock salt?

He wasn't well-versed in geography and geology either.

Fortunately, he had some knowledge of ancient beasts, memories from before he was three, although he had forgotten most of it, there was still a vague impression—

"I don't know how to find salt, but I do know of an ancient beast that resembles a wild bull with four pairs of horns on its head that sound like light bells when the wind passes through them. It has eight teats underneath that release water, clear as morning pearls and sticky as syrup, sweet with a hint of saltiness, and is called the Milky Beast."

Su Jie suddenly turned his head and looked at Meng Yunfeng for nearly a minute before he slowly spoke, "Are you serious?"

"Although you might think it sounds very ridiculous, that ancient beast is indeed called the Milky Beast," Meng Yunfeng said with a sheepish smile. "If we need to make a distinction, we could rename it Milky Beast, since all things are named by the masters among primates, aren't they?"

Su Jie: "..."

"I guess there are Milky Beasts in these wild mountains. I'll go find them."

Just as Meng Yunfeng was about to set off, Su Jie stopped him, "No rush. Tell the villagers about the characteristics and habits of the Milky Beast so they can look for it. We can't solve everything ourselves."

"Is that so?" Meng Yunfeng nodded. They weren't these people's nannies, indeed they couldn't always protect them, they needed to take action themselves.

Then, Meng Yunfeng found the villager known as Dog Second and shared the characteristics and habits of the Milky Beast, "The Milky Beast can help you solve the salt problem, but we won't help you look for them."

Dog Second laughed and said, "What are you saying, Immortal? Just by letting us survive, you have already bestowed great kindness upon us. How could we dare to trouble you with everything? We even want to build a temple to worship you."

However, hearing this, Meng Yunfeng's expression became extremely serious as he admonished, "Don't say such things. I am not an Immortal, and I don't need to be worshipped!"

Reminded of the divine beings who shepherd all creatures, reaping souls; the saints who shepherd the faithful, also harvesting souls,

Meng Yunfeng felt a chill.

Dog Second didn't know what he had said wrong, but he also understood that the Immortal didn't seem to like being called that, so he immediately corrected himself, "I won't say it again, Mister."

Later, Dog Second led eight strong young men into the deep forest, and after seven days, they found three Milky Beasts, one male and two females, each with four pairs of horns on their heads. The horns had natural holes, especially those on the male's head, which were massive and had hollows that produced a melodious bell-like sound when the wind blew through them.

Rather than being noisy, the sound had a tranquilizing effect on the listener. Note: Check M_VLEMPY_R for any corrections.

It was a kind of sound similar to hypnotism, equivalent to about one-tenth the power of a Hypnotist apprentice's hypnotism, which was quite impressive.

When a new ancient beast was captured, the nearby villagers all came over to see the commotion.

"What a strange cow!"

"It actually has four pairs of horns and can sing!"

"Males also produce milk?"

"What's so surprising about that, we're men and we have nipples, don't we?"

Milky Beasts, males, also produce milk.

The milk from male beasts is even more abundant!

Meng Yunfeng said to Su Jie, "This is the evolution of nature, the Milky Beast species, regardless of gender, can produce milk, in order to give their offspring a higher chance of survival."

"I always feel like what you say is a bit odd!" Su Jie retorted.

"What's wrong? I grew up on Earth and received an Earth-style education; it's perfectly normal for me to say these things," Meng Yunfeng replied, dissatisfied. "Moreover, compared to this, I hope you consider how to treat Meng Xiaolan. I feel her spirit has undergone a kind of metamorphosis."

Seeing Meng Yunfeng's distressed expression, Su Jie asked, "What are you worried about?"

Meng Yunfeng was at a loss for words: "Do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? There's a desire in her eyes, a desire to change the world! Although it's not firm yet, after all, she hasn't been with you for long, but it definitely exists."

"Such thoughts, in ordinary worlds without Transcendents, could come to fruition, but in the Cultivation World, she has no chance!"

Indeed, in the vast and abundant Cultivation World, even in the mundaneness, with Meng Xiaolan's own power, trying to confront the entire Cultivation World was simply out of the question.

It was extremely difficult.

But—

"With me, she has a chance," Su Jie smiled.

"You really are crazy," Meng Yunfeng seemed helpless, but was still willing to keep Su Jie company. "But, who made us be in the same group? I'll keep you company and see."

"By the way, how long are we going to stay here?"

Su Jie was taken aback, then said, "The principal wants us to make a breakthrough to Breathing Embryo, but he didn't say whether we should return immediately after the breakthrough. However, I think even if we don't go back now, it shouldn't be a problem."

He had already told his family and friends that he was going to participate in a project of Ming Lun and that it might take some time, so not returning for several years wouldn't be an issue.

At this time, Meng Xiaolan and her maid Xiao Huan also came over, eyeing the three Milky Beasts.

"Is this the Milky Beast? Can it really produce saltwater?" Meng Xiaolan, who was seeing the Milky Beast for the first time, squeezed in with loud exclamations.

Xiao Huan had the villagers calm down the Milky Beasts, while she helped Meng Xiaolan collect the milk and squeeze it into a waterskin.

"Here, miss."

Meng Xiaolan took it, took a small sip, licked her lips, and said lightly, "The taste is a bit strange, sweet with a hint of saltiness, but once you hold it in your mouth, it has an aftertaste that makes you want to drink more the more you drink."

"Take good care of these three Milky Beasts."

"Of course, we won't let down these three salt-producing Milky Beasts," Dog Er laughed heartily. "They're our lifeline!"

Meng Xiaolan nodded, saw Su Jie and others standing on the mountaintop, and instructed Xiao Huan to stay and look after the Milky Beasts while she ran up the path beside them.

"Su Jie, these Milky Beasts really are miraculous, they can indeed produce milk, although this sweet and salty taste is a bit weird," Meng Xiaolan said, shaking the waterskin and speaking cheerfully.

"We don't have the luxury of separating the sugar and salt from the milk right now, so we'll have to let the villagers make do," Su Jie took the waterskin, opened it, and gave it a sniff. "However, just three Milky Beasts is far from enough, we'll need to capture more for the villagers in the future."
