Shen Yuan Ring

Ji Daoyi didn't care about the tiger's feelings; having taken advantage of the situation, he naturally chose to leave quickly.

Ji Xiaolan looked at Ji Daoyi with eyes full of admiration. If Ye Jun and the others knew this was the outcome, they would probably follow him without hesitation!

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world; many choices, once made, offer no turning back.

"Brother Dao, where are we going now? Our storage bags are already full."

"Exactly, we should find a safe place to deal with this group of monsters first, otherwise we'll..."

"Why don't we go back to the herb garden first? There's a protective array there, so we don't have to worry about being attacked by other people or monsters."

"Great idea! Let's go there now."

Ji Daoyi led the group back to the herb garden. Ji Xiaolan was shocked to find Ji Daoyi was incredibly knowledgeable, not only in alchemy but also in formations!

They've only been in the secret realm for a short time, yet they've already found such a medicinal garden. Moreover, it's said that they not only harvested all the mature spiritual herbs but also achieved a breakthrough within it.

Ji Xiaolan was extremely envious of this, but her envy was followed by great joy, because she knew she would have the same treatment someday.

As soon as they entered the herb garden, they found an open space, and Ji Zihan piled all the storage bags containing the corpses of demonic beasts on the ground.

Then Ji Daoyi assigned tasks to everyone!

"Xiaolan, the Yuan energy here is very strong. Take this opportunity to break through your cultivation level. Anyway, we won't need so many people in the future, and it's very safe here. Ordinary people can't get in."

"But..."

"There are no 'buts'. If we're on the road ahead, your skills might be too weak to be of any help. Look at Wang Dan, he used to be just like you, and look at him now!"

Ji Daoyi interrupted Ji Xiaolan from continuing to speak, pointing to Wang Dan, who was consciously cultivating beside him.

On the way back to the herb garden, Ji Xiaolan learned about the team's cultivation level. Ji Xiaohu and the others had all broken through to the Tendon Refining Realm. Although Wang Dan's cultivation talent was a bit lacking, he also reached the Second Organ Realm with the help of pills provided by Ji Daoyi.

After being thoroughly attacked by Ji Daoyi, Ji Xiaolan joined Wang Dan, becoming the cultivation duo.

Three days passed in a flash.

Ji Daoyi finally finished refining the essence blood from all the remaining monster corpses that Sun Puyu had dealt with.

As for why it's said to be leftover, that goes back to three days ago.

In order to maximize profits, they decided to collect all the hides of the Body Refinement Realm demon beasts and the best parts of their meat, and use the rest to refine their essence blood.

Although the amount of essence blood obtained in this way may be small, it will not be a waste of everything else.

The task of skinning the beasts was naturally assigned to Ji Xiaohu, while Ji Zihan and Sun Puyue were responsible for cutting up the beasts' meat.

The beast hides are used as materials for refining weapons, while the meat is naturally for consumption, since they will be staying here for more than two months.

In three days, they cleared out the monster corpses from more than a dozen storage bags.

It is worth mentioning that during this period, Ji Xiaolan used the Body Tempering Pill to break through to the Organ Refining Realm and became a First Organ Realm cultivator.

Her breakthrough also made Wang Dan feel a sense of crisis, because he had just broken through to the second organ realm.

Although breaking through to the Refining Organs Realm is not easy, Ji Xiaolan is still one of the best among her peers.

The reason I didn't break through quickly before was because I didn't have enough resources. Now that I have Ji Daoyi's support, my cultivation speed will definitely be faster in the future!

After they had taken care of everything, Ji Daoyi and the others left the herb garden and headed straight for the central area of ​​the secret realm.

"Dao Yi, do you think Crescent Moon will come looking for you? I can't wait to see what it looks like!"

Ji Zihan skipped along, very curious about the wolf king Crescent Moon that Ji Daoyi had mentioned.

"I really don't know, but I think it will definitely come looking for me after its bloodline awakens. Then you'll be able to meet it! We'll definitely get along well, after all, it's a glutton too!"

"..."

"So, to get along with it, all you have to do is keep feeding it good food? Pu Yu, it's all up to you then. Just win it over with its stomach! Then you'll snatch it away from Dao Yi!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Daoyi chuckled to himself. If Yueya hadn't signed a contract with him, she might have actually been kidnapped by them.

"Feel free to loot!"

"From now on, it will be our team pet! It will be so cool to take it with us on the outskirts of the Monster Forest, and we can even sleep with Crescent Moon at night without having to worry about the cold in the wild!"

"Zihan, now that you mention it, I'm even thinking of finding an adorable monster to be my companion!"

Sun Puyue's eyes lit up when she heard Ji Zihan's words. Girls have little resistance to furry animals, and they were no exception.

"Unfortunately, it's too difficult to find a demon beast that can understand us and get along with us gently. Unless it's raised from a young age, or has had an experience like mine!"

Ji Daoyi had to pour cold water on their enthusiasm, otherwise they would really think that any random monster could be like Crescent Moon.

He and Crescent Moon were sworn brothers, and his rescue of the Wolf King was out of compassion. Furthermore, he was eager to train in the Demon Beast Forest and had no intention of enslaving it.

Later, the wolf king risked his life to save him in order to repay the debt of gratitude.

That's why they were able to meet again. In the end, he only managed to get the wolf king to follow him by using pills as a lure. Where would an ordinary person get so many high-grade pills to feed him?

Of course, if you have young monsters, you can also develop a bond with them, but you need to invest a lot of resources to improve their strength.

Just as the group was discussing the wolf king Crescent Moon, Ji Xiaolan suddenly said to everyone, "Everyone be careful, there's an iron-eating beast to our left, and it looks like a tough nut to crack!"

Upon hearing this, the group became alert and looked up in the direction where the Iron-Eating Beast was.

"This iron-eating beast looks familiar. I feel like I've seen it somewhere before." Ji Xiaohu scratched his head, trying to remember where he had encountered it.

"Isn't that the iron-eating beast that was scared away by the tiger the other day? I never expected it to appear here!"

"Yes, yes, that's it! I told you I'd seen it before. Look at the scars on it, aren't they from that day's battle?"

"Brother Dao, should we take a detour? The peak Body Refinement Realm demon beast is the strongest in that group, and its combat power is definitely no less than that of an ordinary demon general."

"No need. No matter how strong it is, it's only at the Body Refinement Realm. It's not so strong that we have to take a detour. Besides, there are six of us. I'll hold it off from the front, and you guys can harass it from the sides. We can wear it down."

So Ji Daoyi and his companions didn't take a detour, and soon they were discovered by the Iron-Eating Beast.

Upon seeing them, the iron-eating beast immediately ran towards them, making grunting noises!

Upon seeing this, Ji Daoyi and the others immediately formed a defensive formation, with Ji Daoyi even stepping forward to charge ahead!

"Stop!"

Ji Daoyi shouted, causing the Iron-Eating Beast that had run over to stop not far from them, and then they saw it stand up straight!
