Chapter 8, the progress of Xi Lang Gong has been remarkable
The Monkey King comfortably stretched and then let out a series of calls. Shortly thereafter, two robust male monkeys brought a decaying monkey corpse before the golden-haired monkey
In light of this, Tai Shici practiced in his thoughts. As a result, he had more time to play with the golden-haired monkey. During the three years, the golden-haired monkey would leave Tai Shici for three to five days every month.
Ten days later, the golden-haired monkey reappeared. However, the golden-haired monkey looked quite disheveled, as if it had just crawled out of a garbage heap. Leaves and fruit peels were covering its fur, and when Taishi Ci groomed its fur, he even discovered traces of saliva on its hair.
The realm of innate potential is simultaneously the pursuit of contemporary practitioners of both Taoism and shamanism. ... Upon reaching this state, barring any unforeseen circumstances, a person's lifespan is extended, and for a martial artist, their combat power is enhanced by more than double, enabling them to become a "one-man army" ...
The Monkey King, sensing the murderous intent, looked at Tai Shici with a face full of fear. Without waiting for the Monkey King's command, the Golden-Haired Monkey turned to plead with Tai Shici not to harm the Monkey King. Seeing the pained expression in the Golden-Haired Monkey's eyes, Tai Shici angrily lowered his sword.
Tai Shici was very angry: Is this the way the monkey group treats its guests? The abilities of these monkeys are quite ordinary, why does the golden-haired monkey submit to them? The golden-haired monkey, born with divine strength, should be the backbone of the monkey group instead
The golden-haired monkey awoke from its slumber, only to see Taishi Ci practicing his physical strength and flexibility outside the tree house. For a period of time, Taishi Ci struck his own body with a wooden stick, a practice known as striking technique, aimed at enhancing the hardness of his physique. After a while, Taishi Ci bent down and performed splits, adjusting his body to an astonishing degree. This is the soft technique
At this moment, the golden-haired monkey was tugging at Taishi Ci's bark trousers, signaling him not to explode in anger. Taishi Ci gritted his teeth, holding the second monkey with a torrent of rage in his heart, and swiftly departed, as fast as a shooting arrow.
This led Tai Shici to think of his mother, and the more he contemplated, the more fear and dread he felt: for in his consciousness, the image of his mother was surprisingly vague, while the appearance of the goddess in his dream was remarkably clear
Tai Shici also felt that although the golden-haired monkey was exceptionally attractive in appearance and possessed extraordinary abilities, the other monkeys regarded it as if they had encountered a plague god. Each one kept their distance, watching Tai Shici and the golden-haired monkey with vigilance.
Tai Shici noticed the actions of the golden-haired monkey and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Thus, the journey of cultivation began for one person and one monkey, not a lonely one.
At this moment, the enraged monkeys began a new round of fruit peel and saliva attacks. Faced with such humiliation, Tai Shici could only grit his teeth and endure
In the monkey troop, there is certainly a king monkey. Upon entering the valley, Tai Shici observed a robust male monkey vigorously counting several female monkeys engaged in mating.
Three months later, through diligent study and practice, taking a pill of Bi Shui Dan daily, Tai Shici finally completed the cultivation period of the "Wave" skill, successfully opening the eight extraordinary meridians. His proficiency in the martial arts technique "Eighteen Styles of Surfing" was remarkable, with its lethality relying on the advanced internal martial arts principles of the "Wave" skill; of course, Tai Shici's favored technique, the "Wave Treading" movement, also saw some minor achievements, allowing him to tread on snow without leaving a trace and to fly by leveraging the grass beneath him.

A tide called guilt has submerged Taishi Ci's heart ... This feeling is inescapable
Tai Shici did not know: For an ordinary person to cultivate to the second stage of the Wave Skill, it requires at least twenty years. Even for those with exceptional talent, it still takes at least ten years. He completed the two stages of the Wave Skill in just over three years, which is already considered a great miracle in the world
It originally required a journey of five days, but one person and one monkey reached the destination in half a day. This is a valley, a valley obscured by various fruit trees. According to Tai Shici's estimation, there are at least eight thousand monkeys here, if not ten thousand. It is truly a kingdom of monkeys
The golden-haired monkey, accompanied by Taishi Ci, looked up from the bottom of the valley at the monkey king who was busy on the high platform. At this moment, the surrounding monkeys began to throw fruits and vegetable leaves at the golden-haired monkey, and some monkeys even leaped while spitting saliva at both the golden-haired monkey and Taishi Ci.
He will never forget the feeling when he successfully opened the Ren and Du meridians: his body suddenly became transparent, his posture as light as a feather, and the water energy from the spiritual essence of heaven and earth flowed through all the acupoints along the meridians into his body... His body was already as hard as steel and as soft as silk.
Under the care and comfort of Taishi Ci, the golden-haired monkey surprisingly fell into a deep sleep. Even the Buddha has moments of drowsiness, let alone a monkey from the mortal realm
The golden-haired monkey did not disturb Tai Shici; it watched with great interest from the side. Of course, it held an apple in one hand and a pear in the other. Once the golden-haired monkey satisfied its appetite, it began to mimic Tai Shici's movements from the side
During the last gathering, the golden-haired monkey unexpectedly wept uncontrollably. Even though there was a language barrier, Taishi Ci still inferred that the golden-haired monkey had lost an important family member who had passed away.
Due to his diligent efforts, Tai Shici has surpassed the first stage of the Langong in certain aspects. For instance, while enhancing the softness and hardness of his body, he has become quite proficient in practicing the martial arts technique "Surfing Eighteen Styles." However, since his internal energy has not yet reached the foundational stage—where the Ren and Du meridians are fully opened—he is unable to experience the marvelous sensation of the internal energy merging with the martial arts techniques of Langong. He is merely imitating the form without grasping the essence, clearly feeling the disconnect akin to seeing flowers in a mirror. Indeed, due to his internal energy not having reached the foundational stage—where the Ren and Du meridians are fully opened—he cannot experience the wonderful sensation of the internal energy merging with the martial arts techniques of Langong. He is merely imitating the form without grasping the essence, clearly feeling the disconnect akin to seeing flowers in a mirror.
After a while, the golden-haired monkey stopped its licking and kissing actions, looking at the monkey king with a pleading expression. ... The monkey king pointed towards his private area, and the golden-haired monkey gritted its teeth, burying its head towards the monkey king's private area ...
The hallmark of reaching the "Waves" cultivation period is the sensation of energy vortices at six key acupoints: the Laogong point in the palm, the Yongquan point on the sole of the foot, the Baihui point at the top of the head, the Huiyin point in the perineum, the Mingmen point on the back, and the Shanzhong point on the chest. With these channels established, the practitioner can inhale and exhale the old and the new, continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of the water element from the universe to refine the body and shape the form. This enhances the practitioner's power.

The Monkey King pondered for a moment and pointed to his own toes. The golden-haired monkey, tears streaming down its face, crawled step by step to the Monkey King's feet, bowing its head to lick and kiss the Monkey King's toes. At the same time, the Monkey King continuously spat saliva onto the back of the golden-haired monkey.
The golden-haired monkey appeared very timid, looking at Taishi Ci with an innocent expression
Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye
In order to alleviate his negative feelings, Taishi Ci requested the Golden-Haired Monkey to take him to the kingdom where the monkeys reside. In the past, Taishi Ci had made this request multiple times, but the Golden-Haired Monkey had always refused. This time, however, the Golden-Haired Monkey nodded in agreement.
Due to the successful cultivation of the Wave Skill, Tai Shici's speed of travel has increased by more than a hundred times, and ordinary mountain streams and ravines are no longer obstacles for him
Over the past three years, what surprised Taishi Ci was that he completed the first stage of the Wave Skill in three months, while it took him an astonishing three years to reach the second stage of the Wave Skill
After three years of arduous training, Tai Shici's "Treading the Waves" technique, although it cannot allow him to ride the wind, can still enable him to skim closely along the treetops.
After the Monkey King reached several peaks of excitement, it lazily moved its body, looking at the Golden-Haired Monkey and Taishi Ci with a disdainful expression. Seizing the opportunity, the Golden-Haired Monkey communicated with the Monkey King by chattering "zi zi".
Tai Shici felt quite puzzled. The golden-haired monkey could make fierce wild beasts flee, who would dare to disturb the head of the Tai Sui? Through reasoning, Tai Shici arrived at the conclusion: this was likely the doing of the golden-haired monkey's kind. This also indicates that the miraculous golden-haired monkey does not hold a high status within its own clan. Could it be that every member of the golden-haired monkey's kind possesses extraordinary abilities?
According to the guidance of the goddess in the dream: transitioning from the second stage to the third stage of martial arts does not require diligent practice; rather, it necessitates an opportunity. Once the opportunity arises, the practitioner can instantly break through the bottleneck and reach the third stage. This is the innate realm that contemporary martial artists aspire to attain.
The Monkey King trembled, and a stream of liquid shot into the golden-haired monkey's mouth. The golden-haired monkey could only swallow it down. The Monkey King was very pleased: "Golden-haired monkey, no matter how strong you are, I will still make you suffer. I can command you to go east, and you won't dare to go west"
In this situation, Tai Shici no longer cared about the rules of the monkey group; he drew his Spring and Autumn Sword and flew towards the high platform with a face full of anger
The golden-haired monkey, in utter despair, borrowed past the decaying corpse, its body shaking incessantly. Upon witnessing this, Taishi Ci, amidst the rain of peach pits and skins, swiftly moved to the side of the golden-haired monkey. He shot a glare at the monkey king, embracing both the corpse and the golden-haired monkey in his arms
