Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Hu Qing looked at Gu Yang in his body and found that he was still asleep. It had been almost a month since Gu Yang fell asleep.

Hu Qing tried various methods to wake him up, but none of them worked. He felt a sense of powerlessness and worry, not knowing when Gu Yang would wake up.

Hu Qing gave up on the roasted pig and started to eat dry food. Although the taste of dry food was far inferior to the roasted meat, it could at least fill his stomach.

He knew that maintaining strength and energy was crucial in this dangerous swamp.

After filling his stomach, Hu Qing began to meditate. He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and began to practice the Shengxi Seal from the "Life and Death Battle Method".

As his spiritual energy flowed, he felt a sense of peace and relaxation. Cultivation could not only help him improve his strength, but also purify and restore his mind.

The swamp is not peaceful at night, with the sounds of various insects and animals coming one after another.

But Hu Qing has become accustomed to this environment. He focuses on his own cultivation, and the noise from the outside world seems to have nothing to do with him.

As the night deepened, he immersed himself in the practice of "Life and Death Battle Method", feeling the spiritual power flowing through his body.

However, at midnight, a sudden and huge fluctuation of spiritual power interrupted his practice and woke him up instantly.

This spiritual power fluctuation was strong and sudden, as if some powerful being had awakened in the mountains.

The monsters in the mountains seemed to have sensed this fluctuation as well, and they all let out cries of fear, and the entire mountain range fell into chaos and unrest.

Hu Qing immediately extinguished the bonfire to reduce his presence. He swiftly climbed up a tree, hid in the dense leaves, and began to carefully observe his surroundings.

He knew that such sudden changes often signaled danger.

With the sound of falling trees and monsters running wildly, Hu Qing saw many monsters begin to flee in all directions.

The eyes of these monsters were filled with fear, and they were desperate to escape from some unknown threat.

Amidst the chaos, a massive fourth-grade snake appeared beneath Hu Qing's tree. Its scales gleamed coldly in the night, its tongue flickering in and out, its eyes filled with terror.

Hu Qing held his breath and tried his best to hide his figure and breath among the tree trunks, not daring to reveal any trace.

Hu Qing's heartbeat quickened, but he forced himself to remain calm, knowing that at this moment, any small mistake could lead to fatal danger.

He mobilized the spiritual power in his body to form a protective shield to conceal his breath as much as possible.

Hu Qing spent the entire night in the tree, trembling with fear. He didn't dare practice or make any large movements, fearing the monsters beneath would notice him. He kept his eyes fixed on the tree, ready to respond to any possible attack.

As time went by, Hu Qing felt tired and hungry, but he did not give up.

He persisted, waiting for dawn, hoping that with the arrival of light, the monsters would gradually disperse and peace would return to the mountains.

Finally, when the first ray of sunlight filtered through the treetops and illuminated the swamp, the fleeing monsters began to gradually leave.

The fourth-grade snake also slowly slithered away and disappeared into the dense forest. Hu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, his heart filled with relief and relief.

Hu Qing came down from the tree and returned to the ground. He began to reflect on this experience and realized that he did not know enough about this swamp and that he lived too well in modern society.

He decided he needed to be more cautious and prepared before continuing his hunt.

He built a bonfire, boiled water, and continued to eat his dry food. After filling his stomach, he walked deeper into the swamp and continued to search for the traces of the wild forest boar.

Hu Qing's steps were steady and cautious. He knew that the swamp was full of dangers, but in order to obtain more wild forest boar leather, he had to keep moving forward.

The sunlight filtered through the treetops, dappling onto his body and bringing him a touch of warmth.

Until noon, Hu Qing had not found any trace of the wild forest boar, only some messy footprints.

He speculated that the incident last night might have scared away the wild forest boars.

Hu Qing walked to a swamp and suddenly found that all the trees there had been knocked down, forming an open space.

The trees fell from the depths of the mountains to this side, like a road. This scene surprised Hu Qing, as if some huge monster had emerged from the mountain.

Hu Qing narrowed his eyes and carefully observed his surroundings. He noticed many birds in the distance, and when he got closer, he saw the corpses of wild boars scattered all over the ground.

After a careful count, there were a total of 42 wild forest boars, most of which had signs of being eaten.

The largest wild forest boar was even gnawed to the point where only the skeleton was left. There was a huge tooth mark on its head. Its eyeballs were poked out by sharp teeth and birds were pecking at them.

This scene shocked Hu Qing, and he realized that a fierce battle might have taken place here.

Hu Qing drove the birds away and began to carefully examine the carcasses of the wild forest boars.

He found that most of the wild forest boar's leather was still relatively intact, which was an unexpected gain for him.

Hu Qing took out his dagger and began to peel the skin of the wild forest boar. His movements were skillful and quick, and each cut was precise to avoid damaging the leather.

He knew that these leathers would be important materials for making hot air balloons.

During the skinning process, Hu Qing remained alert. He knew there might be some unknown danger lurking here. He looked up and around from time to time to make sure no other monsters were approaching.

After some effort, Hu Qing successfully peeled off most of the hide of the wild forest boar. He carefully rolled up the hide and put it into his storage clothes.

Together with the two skins harvested previously, there are a total of 31 wild forest boar skins, which is more than enough.

Although the source of these leathers was somewhat unexpected, Hu Qing didn't mind it.

He knew the leather would provide valuable practice for his hot air balloon making.

Hu Qing's experience in the swamp brought him great benefits, but he also realized the dangers of this area.

He decided it was time to return to Haitian City and use the collected wild forest boar leather to make hot air balloons.

Hu Qing checked all the equipment to make sure nothing important was left out.

After packing his bags, he began his journey back to Haitian City.

However, the return journey was not peaceful. Hu Qing discovered that there seemed to be many more monsters on the way than on the way there.

These monsters may have been driven away by the fluctuation of spiritual power last night, or they may have been attracted by the bloody smell of the wild forest boars.

In order to avoid these monsters, Hu Qing had to take a more cautious approach.

He began walking among the trees, using his agility to jump from one tree to another. This method was slower but safer.

Hu Qing leaped from tree to tree, each leap accurate, his movements light and agile, making almost no sound.

He looked around vigilantly, ready to deal with any monsters that might appear at any time.

After some effort, Hu Qing finally arrived at Haitian City before dark.

His figure appeared outside the city gate, looking a little tired, but more of a sense of satisfaction and peace of mind after completing the task.

The guards at Haitian City looked at Hu Qing warily, after all, there was a smell of blood on this man.

Hu Qing took out a low-grade spirit stone from his bosom and handed it to the guard. The guard checked the spirit stone, confirmed it was correct, nodded, and allowed Hu Qing to enter the city.

(The ticket price is: if you are an ordinary person, you can enter the city by paying 10 copper coins. If you are detected as a cultivator, you can enter the city by paying one low-grade spirit stone.)
