Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Focused Cultivation

The Monk and Daoist were wailing and crying, but their act clearly had no effect on Lin Yun. He’d sooner believe a pig could fly than trust a single word from those two—that was his definitive opinion of them. When it came to deception, if the Monk and Daoist claimed to be second best, no one in the world would dare claim to be first. They could lie without batting an eye, showing not a single shred of guilt.

"So you’ve had such a tragic time? What a pity. In that case, why don’t I just let the Blood Patterned Wolves eat you? That would end it all once and for all, and you wouldn’t have to suffer anymore," Lin Yun said faintly.

Hearing this, the Monk and Daoist immediately stopped their tears. They stood up straight, chests puffed out. "No need. No matter how bitter this world is, I believe it is a trial from the Buddha."

"Indeed. All the evils of the world are but tests for mankind," the Daoist added.

Their rapid change of face made Lin Yun chuckle. He ignored them and began to extract the Essence Blood from the five Tier Three Demon Beasts.

Demon Beast Essence Blood was a very good thing. As long as one could endure the pain, it was highly beneficial for a Martial Artist’s cultivation.

After extracting five drops of Tier Three Demon Beast Essence Blood, Lin Yun gave two to the Black-striped Tiger. Little Ape didn’t need Demon Beast Essence Blood; consuming the Essence Blood of Demon Beasts with impure bloodlines would actually be detrimental to it.

When it came to cultivation, Little Ape had an unparalleled advantage. Possessing the bloodlines of both the Vajra Divine Ape and the Heaven-Destroying Demon Ape, it could reach heights others could only dream of, even if it just slept all day.

This was the benefit of a powerful bloodline. That was why, even now, Little Ape spent its days eating and sleeping, yet its cultivation was still advancing rapidly. It was already nearing the limit for a Tier Two Demon Beast.

Refining the Tier Three Demon Beast Essence Blood, Lin Yun gritted his teeth, enduring the inhuman torment that wracked his entire body.

It took him an entire night to refine a single drop of Tier Three Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Since there was no danger in the Mysterious Forest, Lin Yun didn’t plan on leaving so soon. First, it was a great place for secluded cultivation. There were plenty of Spirit Grasses and Spirit Fruits, and no shortage of Tier Three Demon Beasts, so he didn’t have to worry about Essence Blood or Spirit Grass.

Second, the Green Talent List competition was still a year away. Lin Yun planned to cultivate here in seclusion to raise his strength to the next level. Besides, he still hadn’t found Qing Zhu’s family’s Supreme Treasure.

With this in mind, Lin Yun forgot all other matters and began to cultivate diligently. As for the Monk and Daoist, they took Little Ape and the Blood Pattern Wolf Pack out every day to scavenge for Spirit Medicine and hunt Tier Three Demon Beasts.

The Monk and Daoist’s daily haul was enormous. However, Lin Yun would always take the lion’s share. Only the leftovers, the Spirit Grasses and Spirit Fruits that Lin Yun looked down on, would fall into their hands.

Naturally, the Monk and Daoist were unhappy about this at first, but what could they do when Lin Yun was so much stronger? Over time, they came to accept it. If it weren’t for Lin Yun, they wouldn’t have gotten anything at all.

Time passed day by day. A month later, the Monk and Daoist had scavenged all the nearby Spirit Grasses and Spirit Fruits. After a month of continuously refining his body with Essence Blood, Lin Yun’s Flawless Flesh Body had also made significant progress.

"Young Master Lin, should we perhaps explore a little deeper?" the Monk and Daoist asked one day. Having gotten a taste of success, they were itching to strip the entire Mysterious Forest bare.

After a moment of thought, Lin Yun nodded. He had to find Qing Zhu’s family’s Supreme Treasure anyway.

With the decision made, Lin Yun’s group set out, heading deeper into the Mysterious Forest.

After walking for a full week, they had reached the very Core Zone of the Mysterious Forest. It was rumored that a Tier Four Demon Beast resided here.

The Blood Pattern Wolf Pack, which had been following Lin Yun all this time, refused to take another step forward after reaching the Core Zone.

Demon Beasts have a very strong sense of territory, so Lin Yun wasn’t surprised by their reaction.

He let the Blood Pattern Wolf Pack go. With Little Ape around, he could just subdue some more Tier Three Demon Beasts later. Moreover, the Black-striped Tiger had also been refining the Essence Blood of Tier Three Demon Beasts this whole time and had similarly made significant progress.

According to Lin Yun’s estimate, among Tier Three Demon Beasts, only the so-called Tier Three Dominator Beasts could suppress his Black-striped Tiger now.

Upon entering the true core of the Mysterious Forest, they had only walked for a little over ten li before encountering a powerful Tier Three Demon Beast.

"An Iron Armor Beast..." the Monk and Daoist said, looking at the five-meter-tall Demon Beast before them.

The Iron Armor Beast was a Tier Three Demon Beast. Although its attack power wasn’t strong, its Defense Power was absurdly tough. Its entire body was covered in scales as hard as iron, and an ordinary expert at the Middle Stage of the Primordial Ocean Realm would be unable to break through its defense. But for every strength, there is a weakness. Faced with the astonishingly defensive Iron Armor Beast, Little Ape had no difficulty suppressing it.

The suppression from a bloodline came from deep within the soul. No matter how strong your Defense Power was, you couldn’t resist it.

The Iron Armor Beast, its eyes originally crimson with aggression, was on its belly, prostrate on the ground, after Little Ape released its Bloodline Power. It had barely lasted ten breaths.

Before Little Ape, the Iron Armor Beast could only submit. This was because, to the Demon Beasts of the Celestial Spirit Continent, Little Ape’s bloodline made it a King, a true overlord.

Unless the difference in Realm was too vast, no Demon Beast could withstand Little Ape’s bloodline pressure.

Having successfully subdued an Iron Armor Beast, Lin Yun and the others continued on their way. The Monk and Daoist were busier than ever, and no Spirit Grass or Spirit Fruit in their path could escape their clutches.

"An Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass... Heavens, an Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass!" Discovering a pure-white Spirit Grass, the Monk shouted with excitement.

His eyes gleaming, the Monk carefully cupped the Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass in his hands, gazing at it as if it were a peerless beauty.

A single Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass could fetch at least twenty thousand Middle Grade Primordial Stones if sold.

Looking at the Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass in the Monk’s hands, Lin Yun’s eyes also lit up. An Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass was a rare sight in the outside world.

"Little Ape," Lin Yun called out. Little Ape, who already had a tacit understanding with Lin Yun, instantly transformed into a flash of blood-red light. Before the Monk could even react, the Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass was in Lin Yun’s hand.

"Young Master Lin, I found that Spirit Grass!" With the Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass snatched away, the Monk roared in anger. Ten Earth Level Six-Stars Spirit Grasses couldn’t compare to the value of a single Earth Level Seven-Stars one.

"I’ll hold onto it for now. I’ll give it back to you after we leave the Mysterious Forest," Lin Yun retorted shamelessly. Once it entered his pocket, this Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass naturally had his name on it.

"You...!" The Earth Level Seven-Stars Spirit Grass was too precious. The Monk couldn’t contain his anger, and fluctuations of Elemental Power rippled from his body. It looked like he was about to try and take it back by force. However, when the Iron Armor Beast and the Black-striped Tiger flanked him, one on each side, the Monk instantly deflated. In the Mysterious Forest, he simply had no leverage to fight Lin Yun.
