Starting from iron smelting

Lu Xiuyuan did not dare to relax at all, and continued to stabilize his body, preparing for a possible counterattack. His eyes were always fixed on the giant anaconda, and seeing that the giant anaconda was still unable to move, he felt relieved to start the counterattack.

Lu Xiuyuan stood calmly beside the giant anaconda, watching the situation with a determined look. He took a deep breath, grabbed the sword tightly, and was determined to give the monster a fatal blow. He had been preparing for a long time, and now it was time to strike.

The sword pierced through the air, piercing the forked tongue of the giant anaconda like a bolt of lightning, pinning it to the ground with precision. A dull crash sounded, and the giant anaconda let out a shrill roar, its tongue nailed to the ground, unable to move.

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan immediately pulled out his dagger, and blood immediately flowed out of the cave, dyeing the entire cave red. He did not dare to slack off, and quickly took out a small bottle to collect the blood of the giant anaconda, secretly rejoicing in his heart that this would be a precious piece of information that might come in handy in the future.

Then, he jumped onto the forked tongue of the giant anaconda and stabilized his body. Holding the dagger in both hands, he gathered all the spiritual energy in his body and stabbed it down with all his strength without hesitation. The dagger pierced into the snake head of the monster, and a powerful force surged into the body of the giant anaconda, making a muffled sound.

Lu Xiuyuan felt the vibration of the dagger in his hand, and he knew that the timing was crucial. The painful roar of the monster echoed in the cave, filling the entire space with tension and depression.

He calmly observed the giant anaconda's body, looking for the most vulnerable part. In the gap between the monster's violent twisting, he finally found the giant anaconda's central nervous system, and swung the dagger without hesitation, cutting it down.

The monster's body instantly lost its ability to resist, and the amplitude of its twisting gradually weakened, as if it had lost its vitality. Lu Xiuyuan seized this opportunity, increased his strength, and attacked the monster's vital points one after another.

His eyes became more and more solemn, and the dagger in his hand seemed to have become a sharp blade for life and death. Every swing was a fight for life. Finally, in an accurate attack, he found the position of the monster's eye socket and stabbed the dagger mercilessly into the monster's brain.

A powerful force spread throughout the cave, and the giant anaconda's body twisted twice before completely stopping. The monster's body seemed to have lost its soul, lying quietly on the ground in the cave, no longer alive.

Lu Xiuyuan felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He collapsed to the ground, his chest rising and falling rapidly, and he was breathing heavily. Sweat dripped from his forehead like rain, mixed with the smell of blood, making him feel dizzy.

He closed his eyes, trying to calm his breathing and let his heartbeat gradually return to normal. During the battle, every muscle in his body had been stretched to its limit, and now he was almost unable to move due to exhaustion.

After resting for a while, Lu Xiuyuan slowly stood up and began to face the giant in front of him. The body of the giant anaconda lay on the ground. Its former majesty and power had now become a lifeless corpse, but its existence still made people feel palpitating.

Lu Xiuyuan stared at the giant anaconda's corpse and thought about his next move. He knew he couldn't stay here for long and had to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible. But before leaving, he had to deal with the giant anaconda's corpse to avoid attracting other monsters.

Lu Xiuyuan took out a dagger, jumped onto the giant anaconda's body, and used the dagger to cut the giant anaconda's body. His movements were skillful and decisive, and the dagger danced in his hand, easily cutting the giant anaconda's flesh. The giant anaconda's body was huge and fat, but in Lu Xiuyuan's hands, it seemed to become fragile and vulnerable.

Lu Xiuyuan peeled off the giant anaconda's skin piece by piece with ease, revealing the tough muscles and bones underneath. His movements were skillful and quick, without any hesitation. Although the process was extremely difficult, Lu Xiuyuan did not flinch at all, because he knew that this was what he had to do.

As the skin and flesh were peeled off, the giant anaconda's body was gradually exposed to the air. Lu Xiuyuan took a deep breath, feeling the joy of victory and the sense of relief. He knew that he had defeated this powerful monster and won.

However, his mission was not yet complete. He continued to cut open the body of the giant anaconda with a dagger and took out its internal organs one by one. The process was disgusting and difficult, but Lu Xiuyuan did not retreat at all. He knew that these internal organs might be useful to him, especially the snake gall of the giant anaconda, which was the essence of the whole snake, so he had to collect it carefully.

Gusts of fishy wind blew, but Lu Xiuyuan didn't care. He focused on the work in his hands, completing every move meticulously. As time passed, the body of the giant anaconda gradually became empty, leaving only piles of peeled flesh and scattered internal organs.

Lu Xiuyuan carefully collected the armor-like skin of the giant anaconda and put it into his storage bag. He knew that these skins would be of great use in the future and could be used to make defensive props or special protective equipment. His technique was skillful and cautious, and he completed every action meticulously, fearing that the slightest mistake would damage these precious materials.

In addition to the skin, Lu Xiuyuan also carefully collected the hard bones of the giant anaconda. These bones are very hard and are a good material for making weapons. Lu Xiuyuan knows that these bones can be used to make strong and durable weapons, and can even be used to make bone glue that is beneficial for cultivation. He decided to save these bones and make plans for the future.

Inside the giant anaconda's body, Lu Xiuyuan found a green snake gall. This snake gall was huge and emitted terrifying energy fluctuations. Lu Xiuyuan knew that this was the source of the power hidden in the giant anaconda's body and the reason why it could release powerful attacks. He carefully took out the snake gall and put it in his storage bag. Although the giant anaconda did not have a demon pill, this snake gall also had great value and played an important role in cultivation and refining medicine.

After completing these tasks, Lu Xiuyuan felt a wave of fatigue set in. He sat on the ground, panting, feeling the impact and gains brought by this battle.

After Lu Xiuyuan finished these tasks, he felt his stomach growling with hunger. He looked around and found the pink meat of the giant anaconda, and his mouth watered. Although the meat looked a little strange, in this dangerous cave, Lu Xiuyuan had no other choice for food.

So, Lu Xiuyuan decided to make a fire in the cave to roast the meat. He gathered some dry firewood and flint and lit a bonfire. The flames were blazing, warm and bright, illuminating the surrounding cave. Lu Xiuyuan cut the giant anaconda meat into pieces and hung it over the fire to slowly roast it.

As the meat turned in the flames, emitting waves of tempting aroma, Lu Xiuyuan's saliva could not help but flow out. He quietly guarded the fire, turning the meat from time to time to ensure that they were evenly roasted. Although the process of roasting meat was arduous, Lu Xiuyuan's heart was full of satisfaction and expectation. He knew that this barbecue would be a little light and comfort for him in this dangerous cave.

Finally, when the meat was roasted to a golden color and crispy, emitting an enticing aroma, Lu Xiuyuan couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He used a dagger to cut the roasted meat into small pieces, and then couldn't wait to put them into his mouth. The meat was tender and juicy, and the aroma was overflowing, making him feel satisfied and happy on the tip of his tongue.

Lu Xiuyuan ate so much that he felt like his stomach was about to burst. He discovered that the giant anaconda meat contained a large amount of spiritual power, which was absorbed by his body, allowing him to quickly recover the spiritual power that he had consumed in the battle. Lu Xiuyuan felt satisfied and comfortable, and his physical and mental state were greatly improved.

After eating the giant anaconda meat, Lu Xiuyuan wiped his mouth and felt rejuvenated. He stood up, stretched, and felt the spiritual power surging in his body. This abundant energy filled him with confidence, and he knew he was ready to face the next challenge.

Lu Xiuyuan looked around and made sure he was in a relatively safe position. He decided to take a short break here to recover. Although this cave was desolate, it was his only refuge. In this dangerous Beiya Cave, anything could happen. He had to stay alert and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Lu Xiuyuan found a quiet corner and sat down, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the spiritual power in his body to practice. He focused his attention on Dantian, adjusted his breathing, let the spiritual power flow throughout his body, and repaired the damaged breath.

Gradually, Lu Xiuyuan felt his body gradually calm down, and his spiritual power was constantly recovering. He immersed himself in cultivation, and devoted his mind to it completely.

During the practice, Lu Xiuyuan felt a faint green light flickering around him, as if guiding him forward. He couldn't help but feel curious and began to follow the green light, feeling the wonderful feeling it brought.

Gradually, he found that the small light particles in his Qi Sea also began to emit a faint green light, which seemed to echo the light on the jade pendant. This green spiritual light made him feel extremely comfortable, as if his whole body and mind were soothed and nourished.

Lu Xiuyuan realized that all this was the effect of the jade pendant. The jade pendant seemed to be able to guide his practice, making his practice smoother and more efficient. He was filled with gratitude and began to devote himself to practice, following the guidance of the jade pendant and constantly improving his practice.

Under the guidance of this green light, Lu Xiuyuan's cultivation progressed very smoothly. The small light particles in his Qi Sea continued to grow, and his spiritual power continued to increase. He felt that his physical and mental state had reached a new height, as if he could touch the deeper level of cultivation.

Lu Xiuyuan immersed himself in cultivation, constantly comprehending the mysteries of the jade pendant and working hard to improve his cultivation.

As time passed, Lu Xiuyuan was immersed in cultivation, day after day passed. When he opened his eyes again, he found that his body seemed to have undergone tremendous changes.

He felt that his vision was sharper, and he could clearly see the subtle details in the distance, and even the smallest movements could be easily captured. There was a sharpness and shrewdness in his eyes that made people feel awe.

All the hidden dangers caused by taking expired pills disappeared completely at this moment. His body felt refreshed and energetic as never before, as if he had regained the vitality of youth.

He took a deep breath, feeling the spiritual energy in the air around him, and his heart was filled with joy and satisfaction. He realized that his practice had become more solid, and his strength had reached the level of the late stage of Qi training, which made him feel extremely gratified and proud.

As he entered the later stage of Qi training, Lu Xiuyuan's control over spiritual power reached a new level. He found that he could mobilize the spiritual energy around him more easily and interact more harmoniously with nature. Whether in training or in battle, he could use his power more flexibly.

He felt that the spiritual power in his body seemed to become more vigorous and abundant. When practicing, he was able to integrate more deeply into nature, blend with the heaven and earth, and feel the response and resonance of all things around him.

At this moment, Lu Xiuyuan was no longer an ordinary cultivator, but stood at the same starting line as those fellow cultivators who entered Beiya Cave. He knew that his strength was constantly increasing and he was able to match others, or even surpass some people.

Lu Xiuyuan secretly felt lucky that he had gained a lot from the battle with the giant anaconda, and it was a great opportunity. If he hadn't taken advantage of the terrain, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat the monster. Now there were still 28 days until the Beiya Cave was closed, and he knew he had to hurry up and look for more opportunities.

He realized that in a place of opportunity like Beiya Cave, every bit of time was extremely precious. He could not stay in one place, but had to keep exploring to find more treasures and opportunities. This battle made him more aware of his own shortcomings, and also stimulated his desire for cultivation and his pursuit of power.

Therefore, Lu Xiuyuan decided to use the next time to continuously improve his cultivation, find more treasures and opportunities, and pave the way for his own cultivation.

Lu Xiuyuan cleaned up the battlefield and buried the giant anaconda's body in a hidden place to reduce the possibility of exposure. He knew that in such a place, leaving any traces could cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, he carefully cleaned up the battlefield and hid all traces as much as possible.

While cleaning up the battlefield, Lu Xiuyuan checked his equipment and storage bag again to make sure everything was safe and intact. He knew that only by being fully prepared could he face various challenges more calmly in the next practice.

Lu Xiuyuan thought to himself that the East Cave of Beiya Cave was of the wood element, which was more conducive to his cultivation. He decided to go to the East Cave as soon as possible so that he could better cultivate and explore in the remaining time. After packing his bag, he set off for the journey to the East Cave.
