Fairy bestows immortality

Sun Wu said, "I haven't personally managed the herb garden for a long time. Today I'm personally planting some new spiritual herbs and cultivating the rest."

"The medicinal herb has just been planted and is very fragile. To be on the safe side, I will take care of it myself for the next two days, so you won't be needed."

"I see."

Su Yun understood.

Sun Wuyan continued, "Don't worry, the contribution points for the past two days will be distributed as usual, you won't be shortchanged."

"In that case, thank you very much, Elder."

Su Yun grinned.

Now, he and Sun Wuyan have a pretty good relationship, and they sometimes joke around.

After stretching outside, I returned inside.

As soon as Su Yun closed the door, a thought struck her.

"These past two days, I haven't had to look after the herb garden, so I can take this opportunity to go to the Thousand Cloud Mountains to train and see what my true strength is like!"

He had this idea before, but he couldn't get away from managing the herb garden, so he hadn't put it into practice.

After all, going to the mountains to find ferocious beasts for training is not like going to the Treasure Pavilion, where you can exchange resources and come back. Finding ferocious beasts takes time.

And now, this opportunity has come at just the right time!

"If we can kill a few more ferocious beasts, exchanging their beast essence for resources would be a good choice, killing two birds with one stone."

Each ferocious beast possesses true essence within its body.

A first-tier ferocious beast is equivalent to the first level of a cultivator's body refinement. Its beast essence can be exchanged for ten Qi-restoring pills, a second-tier beast for twenty, and so on. It is also very valuable.

However, this approach is somewhat dangerous, and sometimes the beast might turn the tables and kill you.

Su Yun packed up and took some dry food with him.

Now that he has a storage ring with an internal space of several square meters, he no longer needs to store these things.

After bidding farewell to Elder Sun, Su Yun left the sect.

The Thousand Clouds Mountain Range, located diagonally in front of the Azure Cloud Sect, is an enormous mountain range that stretches endlessly.

Legend has it that a powerful and ferocious beast dwells deep within the mountains, and no one dares to set foot there.

Su Yun's goal this time was naturally just to find a few second-tier ferocious beasts in the outermost area to test his skills.

……

After trekking for several dozen miles, Su Yun finally approached the Thousand Cloud Mountains.

"It is indeed deep and secluded."

Ahead, the Thousand Cloud Mountains stretched endlessly, like a giant dragon lying prone on the ground.

Deep within, thick fog blanketed the mountains, with clouds swirling around them, giving the area a mysterious air.

Su Yun withdrew his gaze and stepped into the Thousand Cloud Mountains.

On the way, he occasionally saw other cultivators, some dressed in uniform, who were disciples of other cultivation forces, or some independent cultivators.

However, after exchanging glances from a distance, they would go their separate ways.

Su Yun kept his aura concealed and sensed the surrounding situation.

This place is fraught with danger, and we need to be highly vigilant, otherwise we might be ambushed by ferocious beasts hiding in the shadows.

Inside the mountains, towering trees and overgrown weeds abound, with some clumps of grass reaching about a person's height, where ferocious beasts may very well be hiding.

After walking several hundred meters, Su Yun suddenly noticed a thin, dark shadow rapidly approaching from a nearby tree.

His eyes narrowed, and he swiftly raised his hand.

The next moment, he grabbed it tightly.

The texture in my hand is slender, cold, and covered in hard scales.

Looking down, one could see a black snake about a meter long, covered in jet-black scales, writhing in pain as Su Yun gripped it tightly.

Su Yun could sense that the black snake's aura indicated it was a first-tier ferocious beast.

"A black serpent, a first-tier ferocious beast, dares to ambush me?"

Su Yun snorted coldly.

The next moment, he gripped it tightly.

"Crack!"

From the head of the black snake, a sound of bones cracking could be heard.

Fresh blood slowly flowed from the gaps in its scales, and it died instantly.

Su Yun took out his dagger and pried open the black snake's head, revealing a round crystal core about the size of a fingernail inside, emitting faint light.

"Is this the Beast Essence?"

Su Yun took out the beast core and examined it.

The spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from it were indeed no different from those of ordinary body refinement.

"Worth ten Qi-restoring pills."

He grinned, surprised that he had obtained ten Qi-restoring pills so easily.

Of course, this is because he has already reached the second level of body refinement.

Otherwise, a typical first-level body refiner would have difficulty detecting such a sneak attack in time and might be bitten on the neck, resulting in an instant death!

Crisis and opportunity coexist.

After putting away the beast essence, Su Yun continued forward.

He came here not just to kill first-tier ferocious beasts, but second-tier ferocious beasts were his target.

Su Yun continued forward, searching for traces of second-tier ferocious beasts.

Before we knew it, about an hour had passed.

Within this hour, including the black snake, Su Yun encountered three first-tier ferocious beasts, killing them all instantly and obtaining a total of three beast cores.

"This is not good."

Su Yun rested briefly under the big tree.

We haven't encountered any second-tier ferocious beasts after an hour; it seems we need to go deeper.

After resting for about ten minutes, Su Yun continued on his way.

After walking a few miles, Su Yun saw a person lying on the ground ahead.

Su Yun's eyes narrowed slightly as he approached and realized that the person had been dead for some time.

"He is a disciple of the Tiger Mountain Sect."

Su Yun recognized the man's attire; he was a formal disciple of the Tiger Mountain Sect.

Tiger Mountain Sect is a cultivation sect in the vicinity that is as famous as Azure Cloud Sect.

This person suffered a severe blow to the back of the head, clearly caused by the violent beating of some ferocious beast. It was almost an instant kill; he was probably ambushed and died before he could react.

He crouched down and rummaged through the body, trying to see if there were any resources.

"Nothing at all."

Su Yun sighed and slowly stood up.

He guessed that someone had already gotten there first and looted the corpse, and could only lament that he was too late.

What kind of ferocious beast is it?

Su Yun stroked his chin. He guessed that it was very likely a second-tier ferocious beast. This Tiger Mountain Sect disciple had trespassed into the other party's territory and angered them.

"It should be not far from here."

Su Yun cautiously surveyed his surroundings, ready to deal with any potential crisis at any moment.

Just as he was preparing to move forward, he suddenly noticed a slight rustling coming from the bushes not far away.

The grass, as tall as a person, was swaying slowly inside, as if something was inside.

Su Yun noticed that the swaying grass was slowly moving towards him.

Sure enough, they were hiding nearby!

He slowly clenched his fist, ready for battle.

Fortunately, his senses were more acute; otherwise, he might have followed in the footsteps of that Tiger Mountain Sect disciple.

The next moment, a beastly roar was heard, its sound waves deafening.

At the same time, a humanoid beast, about a meter tall with bulging muscles, rushed out of the bushes, its fists clenched together, and slammed down fiercely towards Su Yun's head!

Its aura fluctuated, clearly indicating it was a second-tier ferocious beast!
