Shen Yuan Ring

Ji Daoyi and his group of five stopped after walking for about a few miles.

Ji Daoyi said to everyone, "Everyone, take a rest first and stay vigilant. I'll extract the essence blood from the beast tiger first, otherwise, if it takes too long, the amount of essence blood extracted will decrease."

"Dao Yi, you just focus on refining. We've already recovered 80% and can fully protect you."

So Ji Daoyi found a flat spot, took out the tiger's carcass, and began to extract the tiger's essence and blood.

As time passed, the tiger's corpse visibly shrank, and its essence continuously condensed into blood essence. If it weren't for the support of its skeleton, its entire body would have shrunk like a fluffy sponge being constantly compressed by a machine.

Just as Ji Daoyi was focused on refining the essence blood,

"Sister Zihan, this was really exciting! The three of us actually managed to fight against a beast tiger at the Refining Organs Realm. It was so awesome!" Bored, Ji Xiaohu pulled Ji Zihan aside and started bragging.

Ji Zihan rolled her eyes at Ji Xiaohu and said, "You? You think you can fight to the death? If it weren't for the tiger's injured hind leg, which made it difficult for it to move, we would have barely managed to hold it back. And if it weren't for Pu Yu's move at the crucial moment that aggravated its injury, do you think we would have had a chance to kill it?"

Sun Puyue was still shaken by Scarface's sudden appearance: "Xiaohu, Zihan is right. If Scarface hadn't been so arrogant and Daoge and the others hadn't arrived in time, we probably would have been killed by Scarface."

"I was just trying to lighten the mood and have some fun. I know that with Brother Dao here, we'll be fine, especially with Sister Yueyue here too."

Ji Xiaohu continued speaking as carefree as ever, which was probably just a sign of trust between brothers.

"Although we have Sister Yueyue with us, let's not forget that we are doing the tasks and training on our own, and what if Sister Yueyue doesn't intervene in time?"

"I didn't expect that scarred-face guy in the Tendon Refining Realm would be suppressed by Dao Yi. Moreover, I felt that he had no power to resist Dao Yi. I even thought he was a fake Tendon Refining Realm guy."

"Brother Dao will always be Brother Dao. The things he does are never unexpected! So we have to get used to it! I just don't know if the essence blood extracted from this beast tiger is enough. If not, we'll have to find another one."

"Such a large tiger should have at least ten drops of its essence blood, right?"

"You're overthinking it. Essence blood isn't just ordinary blood; it's the essence of the body, only its color resembles blood. Besides, this tiger beast was injured before, so it probably doesn't have much essence blood in it."

"I thought we could complete the mission this time, but we have plenty of time. Didn't Brother Dao say that even if we have enough essence blood, we will still train here for a while?"

.....

Unbeknownst to them, Ji Daoyi had already completed the extraction of the beast tiger's essence blood and sealed it in a jade bottle he had prepared beforehand.

After refining the beast tiger's essence blood, Ji Daoyi saw Ji Xiaohu and the others chatting together. He walked up behind them and asked with a smile, "What are you all talking about? You all seem a bit down."

"We didn't talk about much, just about Scarface's situation and the fact that the essence blood extracted from this beast tiger might not be enough to complete the mission."

Ji Daoyi countered with a question: "Oh, how do you know this beast tiger's essence blood is insufficient?"

"This tiger beast was injured before, and it must have lost some of its essence and blood. In addition, we must have lost some of its essence and blood as well, because we fought it for so long at the end."

"Haha, you're right. If an ordinary person were to refine it, they would probably only get a few drops of essence blood. But don't you think about what I do? I'm an alchemist. Refining essence blood is a piece of cake for me. However, the materials from this beast tiger are probably ruined, because I squeezed every last drop of essence blood from its entire body, and there are a full twelve drops."

"Doesn't that mean our mission is complete and we no longer need to search for tiger beasts?"

"Yes, we have completed this essence blood mission, but our training has only just begun."

......

Five days later,

Ji Daoyi and his group began to venture deeper into the Tagalag Forest of Monsters. Through the training they had undergone over the past few days, everyone had made significant progress.

Although everyone's cultivation level has not improved, their combat power is more than twice as strong as it was a few days ago.

Judging from the clothes they wore, they must have gone through many battles, big and small, in the past few days. Their clothes were stained with a lot of blood, some from demonic beasts and some from their own.

More importantly, each of them had lost the spoiled attitude they had when they first entered, and the innocent and naive look in their eyes was gone. Instead, they gave off a more mature and composed feeling.

Wang Yueyue, who had been following them, witnessed everything that happened to them. She had been there ever since they entered the forest, and there were several times when she couldn't help but want to intervene.

Ji Daoyi's every display of strength refreshed her understanding.

"Brother Dao, are we really going to go deeper into the area?"

"What? Are you scared? Didn't you keep saying 'the monsters here are too weak, they're no match for me?' I'm sure everyone heard that." Ji Daoyi said to the others, and Ji Xiaohu saw the other three nod in unison.

"You guys are such a pain. I treated you like brothers, and you always make fun of me."

"Well, that's what happens when you're our sweetener!"

"The area we're heading to today is just ahead. There should be quite a few demonic beasts there, equivalent to the peak of the Blood Refining Realm and the Organ Refining Realm. We'll be staying here for two days."

"Two days? That's easy."

"I hope you'll still be this tough then!"

Ji Daoyi looked at Wang Dan again. At present, the strength of their team is still quite polarized. He is currently the strongest, while Wang Dan is the weakest!

"Wang Dan, do you have enough Body Tempering Pills? Here are two more bottles, use them first. I saw you showed signs of a breakthrough yesterday, so try to break through tonight, no need to suppress it."

Ji Daoyi said to Wang Dan, and took out two bottles of Body Tempering Pills from his storage bag and handed them over.

Wang Dan didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the pills from Ji Daoyi's hand. He knew that his current cultivation level was too low, and when encountering powerful demonic beasts, he would be nothing more than a lucky charm.

They were very lucky; it didn't take them long to find a grizzly bear's cave, and they easily got their dinner delivered to them.

That night, Wang Dan didn't even eat dinner before finding a suitable spot deep inside the cave to begin his breakthrough.

Wang Dan's rapid breakthrough was entirely due to the non-stop fighting over the past few days, constantly teetering on the edge of life and death, pushing his physical limits time and time again, and the support of ample medicinal pills.

When Ji Xiaohu and the others saw that Wang Dan was in seclusion, they all consciously stood guard at the cave entrance!
