The Yunwu mountain range seemed to have entered the September season, the autumn sky is clear, and the number of magical beasts is high and they are frequently active.
This is also the season with the most magical beasts.
If a Loose Cultivator were to enter the Yunwu mountain range at this time, they could reap great benefits.
At this moment, in a certain valley, a cultivator is sprinting for his life in utter chaos.
Behind him emerged a gigantic snake tens of meters long. It was a second-stage magical beast known as the boulder snake. This beast can manipulate soil and stone, its strength is formidable.
The scale armor on its body is made of rock, demonstrating a strong resistance to magic skills.
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators find it a headache to fight against it.
A single mistake can lead to being constricted and killed in an instant, becoming food in its stomach.
At this time, the second-stage magical beast had locked onto the cultivator. It moved with extreme speed, appearing in front of the cultivator instantly, spitting out a red snake letter, its body covered in a frighteningly corrosive aura.
However, there wasn’t a hint of panic on the face of the cultivator. Instead, he wore an expression of triumph as if some cunning plan of his had succeeded.
Before this second-stage magical beast could figure anything out.
A large formation burst out instantly. This was a superior first-grade Ice Array, creating a power of icy coldness.
Within this formation, one would be frozen by the power of the cold, or their actions slowed.
This first-grade formation, of course, could not kill the boulder snake, but it indeed delayed the beast’s movement.
In a blink of an eye, its massive body was frozen solid by the ice. It stayed right where it was, unable to move.
Of course, the cultivator also couldn’t escape he was frozen along with it.
Just at that moment, a breathtakingly beautiful woman cultivator suddenly leapt out, holding a golden Jiao Scissor magical artifact in her hand.
The next second, a razor-sharp golden light erupted from the golden Jiao Scissor artifact, striking hard onto the body of the second-stage magical beast.
Instantly, the second-stage magical beast was chopped into two halves without even having a chance to struggle.
Its blood sprayed out like a fountain, sprinkling over the ground, splashing loudly.
The eyes of the second-stage magical beast widened as if it could not believe how it was slain.
However, regardless of whatever resistance it tried to put up, it was not able to withstand this fatal blow and died on the spot.
Immediately from the distant forest, a figure stepped out. It was Zhou Sui.
“Worthy of being senior Leng, your mastery of the Golden Jiao Scissors is simply superb, even a second-stage magical beast was slain by you in an instant, truly impressive.” The person acting as the bait was none other than a clone of Zhou Sui.
The clone was responsible for baiting the second-stage magical beast out of its lair.
So it didn’t matter if the clone was killed.
If it traded for a second-stage magical beast, it would be a huge profit.
Obviously, judging from the outcome, it was a complete victory.
The so-called cost was nothing more than sacrificing a clone, a trade-off incredibly worth it.
“You are more powerful, clearly out to hunt the second-stage magical beast, you deployed only two clones.”
“Even if it failed, the main body would be unscathed, yet you could reap the rewards.”
Leng Yuexi gave Zhou Sui a displeased look.
Having seen through this man once and for all, despite coming out with her to hunt second-stage magical beasts, his real body has no intention of appearing. He just sent his clones. It’s as if his fear of death has reached an extreme point, she didn’t know what to say.
“Senior is too modest, I am but a Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator.”
“Facing terrifying second-stage magical beasts, even a high level of caution is not excessive.”
“Moreover, senior’s cultivation level is profound, and strength formidable, presumably a mere second-stage magical beast can’t bother you.”
“Cough, cough, alright, let’s quickly gather this second-stage monster’s corpse.”
“The scales, snake meat, snake heart, and snake blood on it are all valuable things.”
Zhou Sui didn’t pay attention to slight resentment in Leng Yuexi’s words. He walked straight towards the monster’s corpse, excited to check out his spoils.
Leng Yuexi clenched her fist, obviously she is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but this bastard man casually orders her around to hunt monsters everywhere. However, for some reason, she can’t refuse this man’s request.
Just like she cannot refuse anything he says.
This feeling was too strange and too wonderful.
As if she thought of something, her face turned red, but she quickly concealed her emotions for fear of being discovered.
“We’ve hit the jackpot, this time we’ve hit the jackpot, this is a second-stage Demon Core.”
“We finally got a second-stage Demon Core.”
At this time, Zhou Sui’s excited voice came over.
He was now covered in blood, but he was holding a golden crystal stone the size of a goose egg, which seemed to contain an extremely pure energy.
This was clearly a second-stage Demon Core.
“Congratulations, you finally got a second-stage Demon Core.”
“It seems that next we can start refining the Foundation Pill.”
“But are you sure you can refine the Foundation Pill?”
A glimmer of joy also appeared in Leng Yuexi’s beautiful eyes.
After all, she and Zhou Sui had been hunting second-stage monsters in the Yunwu Mountains for the past three months.
Zhou Sui took the initiative to act as bait, luring the second-stage monsters out and leading them to the ambush point.
Then she would suddenly take action, delivering a fatal blow.
In the past three months, they had killed at least thirteen second-stage monsters.
But none of them had a Demon Core inside them.
But now, heaven rewards the diligent, and Zhou Sui finally got a second-stage Demon Core.
With this, all the materials needed for refining the Foundation Pill are complete.
“Right, it’s just refining a Foundation Pill, it should be no problem.”
Zhou Sui clenched his fist, his eyes filled with confidence.
Over the past three months, he has reduced a lot of cultivation time, basically using most of the time to improve his Alchemy.
With the help of Bookworm, he not only improved his Alchemist Cultivation to the mid-level of the second stage, but also advanced his Five Elements Alchemy Technique to Great Achievement.
It can be said that his current Alchemist Cultivation level is not much inferior to a first-grade superior Alchemist.
If he can’t refine the Foundation Pill, no one can.
“Okay, since you’re confident, let’s go back.”
“Anyways, if it fails, we’ll come back and hunt another second-stage monster.”
“You’ll definitely have plenty of practice chances.”
Leng Yuexi full heartedly looked at Zhou Sui.
She didn’t know why, although she complained with her mouth, but she was happy to be alone with him.
It gave her a sense of belonging to this man.
After this monster hunt and getting the second-stage Demon Core, she was a bit melancholic inside.
Perhaps she won’t have the chance to be alone with him again.
“Thank you, Elder Leng.”
Zhou Sui gave a gentle smile.
“Hmm, what’s there to thank, I’m just repaying you for saving my life.”
Leng Yuexi’s face turned red, but she turned her head away, not letting Zhou Sui see her expression..
