Chapter 59: Chapter 49: Tier Three Monster Beast Meat_i

Translator: 549690339

After a day of traveling, Su Qing retreated to her tent for rest after dinner.

She pulled out a talisman and pressed it on herself; the clothes that had been stained with a lot of dust and grass clippings instantly became as clean as new.

“What a pity I can’t take a bath!”

Su Qing sighed in her heart.

Ever since she started traveling, she hadn’t had a bath for quite some time.

She reached out to her storage bag to take out the bedding inside, but she was suddenly startled.

Without her knowing when, an additional storage bag had appeared on her waist.

Taking off the storage bag, she quickly summoned a bright spell and took a closer look.

The more she looked at it, the more terrified she became.

This storage bag unexpectedly belongs to Xiao Yi!

She had known Xiao Yi for a long time, just like Xu Mu, their relationship was merely that of clients.

When she heard that the Soul Forging Sect was coming, Chi family was unwilling to take her along, and Song family was unable to protect itself either, she took the initiative to approach Xiao Yi.

Having known him for so long, she recognized Xiao Yi’s storage bag.

There was an embroidery of a red flower on it.

“Didn’t Xiao Yi die already? How is his storage bag with me? Could it be sent by him after he turned evil?”

Su Qing’s eyes flickered, she was a little scared and wanted to throw it away, but her curiosity made her want to see what was inside.

If it really was Xiao Yi’s storage bag, she would be extremely lucky!

“I’ll just take a peek! If there’s nothing, I’ll throw it away!”

Su Qing thought to herself.

There was no seal on the storage bag, so she refined it easily.

Upon opening, she found no expected magic artifacts or spirit stones, only a secret manual and a black jade token.

“Sky-Replenishing Jue? Isn’t this the martial method Xiao Yi practiced? What does it mean?”

She felt that it was not given by Xiao Yi, but very likely by someone else who knew her.

After she read the manual, she was even more sure about her conjecture.

“Trying to help me without disclosing identity? Who could this be?”

Excitement flickered in Su Qing’s heart.

Previously, she felt totally lost about her future, however, knowing that there was an expert secretly protecting her, she immediately became confident.

“Whoever was capable of killing Xiao Yi must be at least in the Qi Cultivation Late Stage. I should probe those in the late stage of Qi cultivation from our team tomorrow!”

“No, at the time when Xiao Yi was in trouble, all the practitioners in the late stage of Qi cultivation were together, it couldn’t have been them, it’s very likely someone from the other teams!”

“Doesn’t matter, worst case I’ll probe everyone, as long as he or she is willing to protect me, it shouldn’t be hard to find!”

She then picked up the Sky-Replenishing Jue and began to study it, preparing to change her cultivation method.

She’s about to reach the limit of her current method, Furnace Gate, and if she doesn’t switch soon, it’ll be too late.

As for the part about absorbing Qi, she didn’t pay much attention, because she heard from Xiao Yi that indiscriminate Qi absorption before reaching a sophisticated” level in cultivation could result in impure Qi in the body, doing more harm than good.

The target of Qi absorption must be pure and shouldn’t have leaked Yang Qi, it’s not something that can be used casually.

Even if she wanted to absorb Qi, she would have to prepare for a long time in advance.

Midnight!

Overhead, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rolled, and beads of rain continually fell, making the leaves rustle.

More than twenty of Xu Mu’s group, having cast rain-protecting skills onto themselves, followed behind the two individuals in the late stage of Qi cultivation, patrolling the periphery of the camp.

“Monster beast!

II

In the pitch-black darkness where one couldn’t see one’s hand in front of one’s face, an abrupt flash of green light appeared, Lu Zhen, the man responsible for leading the party, immediately alerted everyone.

Xu Mu and the rest immediately conjured their spells, releasing blades of green wind and shot them towards where the green light was.

Roar!

A low growl reverberated through the forest, a black shadow dodged the attack and charged towards them at extreme speed.

“Beast! Looking for death!”

Lu Zhen flicked his sleeve, a cyan beam shot out and instantly struck the charging black shadow.

The black shadow let out a pitiful cry, attempting to turn and flee.

Several more wind blades were subsequently released from within the group, utterly killing the black shadow.

An individual responsible for collecting the bodies walked up, first casting a light spell to examine the situation.

Xu Mu noticed that it was a black leopard of a calf’s size with white hair on its hooves.

Only after confirming it was dead did the individual begin to remove its parts.

“It’s a tier-two monster beast, Cloud-Walking Leopard!” Lu Zhen’s brow furrowed slightly.

“This is already the third one we’ve encountered!” Wu Lan, who stood at the side, sighed gently.

As the group travelled deeper, the significant number of individuals became a huge attraction to monster beasts. Each day they could encounter over a dozen or so monsters, with the proportion of tier-two monster beasts steadily increasing.

Xu Mu’s eyes flickered slightly, he knew the time to separate was near.

By the next day, Ouyang Ying had already found him.

“Friend Xu, we can no longer continue with the group. Currently, we’re just attracting some low-level monster beasts, which we can barely deal with. If we attract a Foundation Establishment Stage monster beast, we’ll be in trouble!”

With the current size of the group, they would definitely attract a Foundation Establishment Stage monster beast.

After all, enough ants can fill a stomach!

“I got it! Today we’ll break away from the team and take a different path to Liyang Sect!”

Xu Mu nodded and soon found a chance to lead everyone away from the group, heading southward.

As for Su Qing, he seemed to have attached himself to the others in the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, and he had already given away the secret manual, so he could say his obligation had been fulfilled.

He didn’t want to take on more trouble!

When Xu Mu and the others left, the people in the main force just glanced at them and had no significant reaction.

Because some people had started to break away from the group a few days ago.

But those people were all powerful; either led by a later stage Qi cultivator or comprised entirely of seasoned middle-stage Qi cultivator veterans.

These teams all had the ability to hunt tier three monster beasts. As long as they weren’t unlucky enough to encounter a tier four monster beast or some dangerous terrain, they would likely reach the territory of the Liyang Sect.

Although there were three mid-stage Qi Cultivators in Xu Mu’s team, they looked evidently weak.

But, it had nothing to do with them!

They must bear the consequences of their decisions!

Most people were indifferent, but a few had ill-intentions.

Soon another pair broke away, all middle-stage Qi Cultivators; their fierce looks and vigorous auras suggested they were seasoned jungle explorers, and their chosen path was the same as Xu Mu and his group’s.

Pity arose in the eyes of the observers as a similar situation had happened several times before.

Not long after.

Deep within the dense forest!

The surroundings were in shambles, traces of magic and magic artifacts were left everywhere.

II

I knew there would be blind bats!

II

Xu Mu stowed away his storage bag, turned around and left, leaving behind a sky full of ash.

At dusk!

The sun had set!

They pitched a tent while Ouyang Ying was almost done preparing the meal.

A whole roast leg from a tier-three Dagger Horn Deer and a large pot of wild vegetable and mushroom soup.

“Friend Ouyang is really a master chef!” Xu Mu praised after taking a bite.

Nobody expected that Ouyang Ying, who looked terrifying with only one hand left, would be so proficient in cooking.

“Just messing around when I’m bored!”

Ouyang Ying cut off a small piece of roasted meat and fed it to his Flame Rat, then continued: “Thanks to Friend Xu for hunting the tier three monster beast, ordinary beast meat wouldn’t taste as good, no matter how well you cook it!”

Speaking of this, Ouyang Ying and Zhang Shouren were both astonished to watch Xu Mu.

Other teams avoided tier three monster beasts, dealing with them mainly through intimidation. Xu Mu, on the other hand, actively hunted them.

And he was successful!

This made the two realize Xu Mu was not simple.

Although Lan Shijin and Leng Yuening were surprised, they were less so because they knew Xu Mu’s real strength.

Xu Mu tore off a piece of meat to feed Little Ling’er, but the little girl wasn’t interested in meat. She gnawed on a not-yet-ripc fruit, her chin all covered in drool.

He then put it into his mouth and laughed, “It was just convenient!”

Actually, the reason he actively hunted monster beasts was not only to prevent them from approaching and threatening the group but also for his own purposes.

Recently, he found that eating the meat of high-tier monster beasts was far more effective than eating Fasting Pills and could be used to enhance his Body Cultivation.

Now that his Light Body Skill had reached the level of Grandmaster, and the Fire-controlling Skill couldn’t be raised in a short time, the next step was to upgrade the Thunderbolt Sword Skill to Grandmaster level. When the time comes, his strength and lifespan might make a great leap forward.

“I made the right choice by following Friend Xu this time! I might not eat a piece of tier three monster beast meat once in a year!” Zhang Shouren said with a smile.

Both were very tactful and didn’t ask about Xu Mu’s strength.

The tier three monster beast meat contained vast energy. After eating a few pieces, they were full and just had a bit of wild vegetable and mushroom soup before resting. Only Xu Mu continued eating leisurely.

As he was about to finish, he took out another piece of monster meat and continued to roast and eat it over the fire.

At the same time, the system interface displayed the experience of his Thunderbolt Sword Skill rising continuously.

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill+1]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill+1]!

[Thunderbolt Sword Skill+1]!

“Let me help you!”

Leng Yuening suddenly crawled out from the tent, speaking in a voice as soft as a mosquito. Her fair face was flushed red under the firelight.

Xu Mu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: “Alright!”

Lan Shijin had already rested as she had to stand guard in the latter half of the night.

Ye Yingying had been a bit sleepy recently, and she had to take care of Little Ling’er during the day, so she also went to bed early.

As for Ouyang Ying, Zhang Shouren and his grandson, they could be considered absent.

Only a man and a woman were left by the fire at night, one roasting and the other eating.

More than a month later.

Deep within the Cloud Peak Mountain Range!

A bloodstained Xu Mu, performing hand seals, continuously condensed flame knives and attacked a green figure nearby..
