Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 97: Giant Warriors and Wild Beasts (Please subscribe! Please vote!)

Li Chunfeng came here not to practice formations.

He came here to cultivate.

Of course, to be considerate of the students' feelings, a wasteland spider would occasionally be overlooked so that they wouldn't be bored.

Hu Yifei and his three companions followed behind Li Chunfeng, watching as the powerful wasteland spiders, whether first-tier, second-tier, or third-tier, were blasted into dust as if they were cutting melons and vegetables. Hu Yifei was completely stunned.

“Is the gap so big?”

Hu Yifei had even boasted that he had kept up with Li Chunfeng's pace, but it turns out that these past few days of sparring had just been a joke between him and the guy.

Xia Xing fell silent, his eyes filled with profound shock.

The two occasionally exchanged glances, both seeing shock and helplessness in each other's eyes.

If the gap is only a little, there is still the courage to catch up; if the gap is too big, there is only the option to look up to.

Chen Lingsu and Jiang Lele, on the other hand, quickly accepted reality and even occasionally launched a few playful attacks.

"It seems like someone is collecting these spider legs."

Chen Lingsu checked the task information on her phone, while Jiang Lele looked at the spider corpses scattered on the ground and asked uncertainly, "Should we collect them?"

"Little Li has a spatial storage magic item."

Li Chunfeng shook his head. “It takes up too much space. You still have the potential to open your divine apertures. If you become a Divine Soul cultivator one day, the cultivator's gift package will include a Sumeru Mustard Seed Ring. I do have a spare Nine Directions Ring here, but you can't use it.”

Chen Lingsu raised her little fist, expressing her determination: "Today I witnessed the divine power of a Soul Cultivator, which greatly inspired me. When I get back, I will definitely work harder and strive to open my Divine Aperture before I turn sixteen."

Jiang Lele glanced at the girl beside her and nodded in agreement, "Me too."

With their paths already set, Hu Yifei and Xia Xing simultaneously felt a pang of regret, wondering why they hadn't been able to unlock the secrets of the divine back then.

Hu Yifei realized that Li Chunfeng wasn't just showing off to Zhou Siye; he was telling the truth.

The battle swept through the entire forest like a whirlwind, with raging flames soaring into the sky, clearly visible from miles away.

"That's the direction of Falling Wind Valley, right? Who's fighting there? Could someone be planning to launch a fire attack on Spider Forest?" The members of the Gale Team were resting at night in a canyon fifteen miles away, and they were all looking at the sea of ​​fire in the distance with some shock.

"It's not that no one has thought of using fire, but it won't work. The reason why Falling Wind Valley is called Falling Wind Valley is because even the wind can't blow. The trees in that forest cannot be ignited by ordinary fire, let alone set the entire forest on fire. There are also many tree spirits in the forest who can automatically regulate the climate. Besides, it is a paradise for spiders. If you set it on fire, it will cause the spiders to attack in swarms."

"Captain, shall we go take a look?" the scout suggested.

The captain thought for a moment, then shook his head in disagreement. "One of the taboos of the wasteland is not to get too close to others. Anyone who dares to set their sights on the Spider Forest is unlikely to be a small team. If they happen to be carrying out a secret operation, our hasty approach could easily lead to misunderstandings."

Even so, the fire completely ignited the flames of curiosity in everyone's hearts.

The next morning, a torrent of water fell from the sky above the forest, extinguishing the flames.

Driven by curiosity, Team Gale quickly approached the Spider Forest. But all they found were charred corpses scattered everywhere. The entire forest was eerily quiet. Had the once-dominant Wasteland Spiders been extinct?

"Wow, who has such courage!"

On a flying boat several miles away, Li Chunfeng was leading his men to rush to the next location.

The battle lasted all night, and he gained thousands of Soul Cores.

[Wilderness Spider Mother Demon Core: Fourth Rank. Contains a weapon spirit seed, High-Grade Profound!]

The quality of the weapon spirit seed varies, with the lowest being the lower grade of the Spirit rank and the highest reaching the upper grade of the Profound rank.

This one, a high-grade Xuan-level gem, originated from the Spider Mother.

The colossal fourth-order creature, though seemingly ferocious, has in reality become a tool for continuously laying eggs to ensure the continuation of its species.

Even so, Li Chunfeng still had to put in a lot of effort, using the mobility of the Burning Lamp to bombard it for half an hour before finally capturing the fourth-tier wild beast.

At this moment, the corpse of the Wasteland Spider Mother was lying peacefully inside the Sumeru Ring.

In the eyes of others, his best gain was merely a high-grade Xuan-level magic bell demon core.

However, Li Chunfeng's gains this time were enormous. Once he synthesized a Level Earth item, it would cause a sensation, earning him more than a hundred times the profit of a Level Profound item. A difference of just one level makes all the difference.

Moreover, although the spider queen was dead, Li Chunfeng did not exterminate all the spiders in the forest.

Deep underground in the last remaining lair of the spider queen, a vast number of spider eggs still survive. Given enough time, the forest will once again be overrun by the spiders.

While Li Chunfeng was taking stock of the spoils, Hu Yifei and the others were already numb with exhaustion.

"Fourth-tier wild beasts, kill them without hesitation!"

I never even dared to dream of this before!

It seems that Li Chunfeng is really going to carry the team to victory in this Qingyun Ranking competition.

In just a few days, Li Chunfeng led his men to several battlefields.

They were currently hunting a pack of wasteland wolves on a plain.

The production of the Wasteland Wolf is also very strange; it is a Soul Weapon Seed.

[Wilderness Wolf Demon Core: Tier 2. Contains a Soul Weapon Technique Seed, Bronze Crescent Spear. A general-purpose technique seed, high-grade Yellow Rank!]

"It can actually be condensed into a weapon."

When people first saw it, they were also very surprised. After checking online, they found that this was not an isolated case.

Or rather, most of the output of the entire desolate wasteland is related to that earth-shattering war.

Soldier Souls and Soul Soldier Seeds are just some of them. On the Silent Wasteland Secret Realm Forum, there is also an interesting saying: if the Soul Soldier Seeds are of the same type and are of the same kind, they can automatically merge and combine to upgrade into a higher-level Soul Soldier.

If they are opposing soul weapons, they will also affect the refining of other soul weapons.

There is a very high probability that the refining will fail.

This was the first time Li Chunfeng had witnessed the fusion of different legal systems from elsewhere.

He was very interested and wanted to see what grade of soul weapon he could eventually synthesize.

Li Chunfeng tossed the demon core to Hu Yifei.

Hu Yifei used his blood and qi to refine the demon core, successfully obtaining a blood and qi soul weapon.

Perhaps this is a universal type of magic seed, completely different in effect from those used by cultivators, who wield soul weapons composed of their divine soul and mental power. Martial artists, however, use soul weapons formed from their vital energy and blood essence.

The eighteen-foot-long bronze crescent spear landed in his hand, its entire body gleaming with a cold bronze light, and its crescent-shaped blade exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Hu Yifei brandished his bronze crescent spear a few times, displaying a rather imposing and powerful aura. His basic spear techniques had been taught in his integrated compulsory education. Hu Yifei had good martial arts aptitude, and naturally knew spear techniques as well, but he simply preferred swordsmanship.

"Not bad. If there were more of the same type of magic seed, the power of this soul weapon could be increased!"

Li Chunfeng commented.

Hu Yifei was overjoyed. A Yellow-rank Soul Weapon was already strong enough, and it could even be upgraded.

What a divine weapon I found for free!

Everyone else was envious.

However, the thought that there were plenty of Steppenwolves immediately stirred up a murderous intent within him.

Soon, everyone in the team except Li Chunfeng had a bronze crescent spear.

Li Chunfeng reaped even greater rewards.

But he still hasn't found what he wants.

Hu Yifei noticed that Li Chunfeng was specifically hunting large groups of wild beasts. He assumed Li was trying to maximize his profits and didn't think much of it.

The purpose of this trip to the secret realm was to get the team working together.

We've been out for several days now, and I don't know how well the team is gelling, but we've certainly gained a lot.

So they headed back home to prepare for the Qingyun Ranking team competition.

On the way back, we suddenly encountered several teams' airships, all flying in the same direction.

"what happened?"

Li Chunfeng gazed into the distance, knowing that something must have changed deep within the wilderness.

Arriving at a market town shelter in the wilderness, I found many people talking animatedly. After inquiring a bit, I roughly learned what had happened.

A few days ago, a team ventured deep into the wilderness and discovered a dead soul deer.

The result was heavy casualties, with only a few small animals escaping back.

The Dead Soul Deer is renowned throughout the Desolate Wasteland, and many large organizations permanently stationed there have conducted detailed analyses of it. Their conclusion is that the Dead Soul Deer is highly likely to possess Earth-rank talent.

Powerful wild beasts with Earth-rank talent are also known as "Giant Warriors".

Humans have hunted them before.

But each hunt comes at a considerable cost.

They are difficult to kill, but more importantly, their whereabouts are unpredictable; you can never even touch them.

With the reappearance of the Dead Soul Deer, three powerful teams immediately decided to join forces to challenge the renowned Giant Warrior Beast.

"A Tier 1 talent!"

The others looked on with envy.

Li Chunfeng remained unmoved; he had long witnessed the madness people had for the Earthly Rank.

The effort required to acquire tens of millions of Dao cultivation points is far less arduous than obtaining a single Earth-rank Dharma Seed.

Otherwise, one must think like this now, paying the price of one's life to gamble for a possible future.

“My cultivation has reached a crucial moment, and I plan to go into seclusion here for a while. You’ve been running around with me these past few days and haven’t had a chance to properly experience the adventures of the Desolate Wasteland. Why don’t you take this opportunity to explore the area? There are many things for sale in the market; you can buy and sell them yourself if you need anything,” Li Chunfeng suggested.

This was exactly what they wanted, and the young man and woman couldn't resist. "Okay, we'll wait for you."

Li Chunfeng rented a room in the market, intending to give back to his family.

After strolling around the market and making several transactions, Hu Yifei and his companions felt their trip was worthwhile. They heard there was a nearby swamp abundant with a spiritual plant called the Ghost Lotus. According to market rules, everyone who came could pick one to take home, so they decided to go and pick one.

However, the swamp was not an easy place to traverse. Only when the group of young and inexperienced individuals left Li Chunfeng and acted on their own did they realize how safe they were under his protection.

"These damn mosquitoes are so venomous. I've taken precautions, yet they still managed to suck my blood." Hu Yifei slapped his face in frustration.

If he could, he would even like to walk forward under the golden light shield.

But he didn't have that much vital energy to waste. He could only continue deeper into the swamp, enduring the harassment of mosquitoes.
