The steady increase of soul energy had greatly piqued Bai Ziyue’s interest in searching the mountains. Plus, as the guard leader of Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden, he usually had nothing important to do, so he spent almost every day wandering through the continuous Cyan Mountains.
On the outskirts of Cyan Mountain, spiritual herbs were becoming gradually sparse, and Bai Ziyue, under the guidance of the little dog, gradually ventured deeper.
His boldness was also due to his exceptional skills, otherwise, such deep mountain forests were not places ordinary people dared to enter.
Bai Ziyue swung his sword, it was like a dark cloud descending, the power was overwhelming.
Puff!
An exotic beast, a lone wolf, was brutally slain by him.
"Soul Energy +1237."
This lone wolf was at least as powerful as a late-stage Inner Cultivation martial artist, and it was the strongest beast he had encountered in the past few days.
But in Bai Ziyue’s hands, it couldn’t withstand even a single move and was killed.
The little dog growled excitedly and quickly darted to the lone wolf’s corpse, lowering its head to lick the blood spilled on the ground.
The exotic beast flesh contained astonishing energy, and for the little dog, it was a huge supplement, something it naturally wouldn’t miss.
In the past few days, due to the exotic beast flesh Bai Ziyue had hunted and the few spirit dye stones it had picked up to replenish spiritual power, its belly was round, and it looked robust.
Moreover, Bai Ziyue gradually noticed that its speed and strength were far superior to ordinary hunting dogs.
Previously, an adult hunting dog tried to bully it due to its small size, but it was directly swatted away by the little dog in a few moves, showcasing combat power comparable to some newly evolved exotic beasts.
Sometimes, when searching for spiritual objects, if only encountering ordinary wild beasts, it would gradually become bold enough to attack them.
Of course, if it took any damage, it would smartly escape, allowing Bai Ziyue to take action. Then after Bai Ziyue killed the opponent, it would swagger around, acting arrogantly, biting the corpse furiously in revenge.
It wouldn’t stop until the corpse was shredded to pieces.
Bai Ziyue had little interest in ordinary wild beasts’ flesh, otherwise, he wouldn’t let the little dog waste it like this.
"Spirit Soaring Flower, no wonder this exotic beast protected it. Such a spiritual object is one of the main materials for refining Qi Storage Pills, and Qi Storage Pills can slightly increase the chances of Inner Cultivation martial artists’ breakthrough to the Inner Power Realm, precious to the utmost.
However, this spirit soaring flower needs at least another half month to fully bloom."
Bai Ziyue looked at the three flower buds growing on the spirit vine, his face showing a trace of regret.
The spirit vine flower, only when the buds fully bloom, can exert its effects.
Although the buds contain some spirituality, their medicinal properties are significantly reduced, yielding little use.
However, despite the spirit soaring flower not being fully bloomed, Bai Ziyue quickly noted down its location and the time needed for its maturity, planning to come back and pick it at the right time.
In fact, he had handled all immature spiritual objects he encountered similarly.
Seeing the dusk, Bai Ziyue was planning to leave with the lone wolf’s corpse, when he suddenly noticed a bright light flashing in the distance, his heart jolted, and he quickly crouched down.
Sensing something amiss, the little dog quickly raised its ears, vigilantly scanning the surroundings, but saw nothing. It looked at Bai Ziyue with puzzled eyes. Seeing Bai Ziyue’s genuine reaction, the dog glanced around again but found nothing, its expression changed to contempt, making a face as if saying Bai Ziyue was foolish.
Bai Ziyue had no time for the little dog’s antics, his eyes flashed with spirit light, and he used the spiritual eye technique.
Instantly, even something thousands of meters away was clearly visible to him.
"It’s those people, the Nine Seals Sect people."
Bai Ziyue’s face changed and he held his breath.
Then he discovered that the previous bright light was the reflection of sunlight on the blade being wiped by a Nine Seals Sect member.
Due to the dharma instinct formed by the spiritual eye technique, Bai Ziyue’s eyes were somewhat enhanced, becoming extremely bright and sensitive to various lights. Although the light was weak from thousands of meters away, he still noticed it.
"They, the Nine Seals Sect people, what are they guarding there for?"
As he wondered, Bai Ziyue quickly saw that behind the burly man wiping the blade, an old man was sitting under a small tree, and on that tree, there were some fruit.
The fruit was light golden, hanging on the fruit tree, glowing dimly. Anyone would instantly recognize their extraordinariness.
"Golden Spirit Fruit!"
Bai Ziyue almost exclaimed.
This deep mountain actually had Golden Spirit Fruit, such spiritual fruit?
This fruit was recorded in the Spiritual Materials Treasure Guide, not only could it purify the human body, making it more agile and transparent, but it also had the powerful effect of enhancing Inner Power Realm martial artists’ strength, drastically increasing internal power.
Of course, it was equally effective for immortal cultivators.
And its spiritual power was abundant and gentle, making it more suitable than Qi Storage Pills for martial artists advancing from the peak of Inner Cultivation to the Inner Power Realm.
Bai Ziyue’s eyes burned hotly, given he was at the critical stage of breaking through to the Inner Power Realm himself, this spiritual fruit was just right for him.
He hurriedly scrutinized the situation, seeing seven golden spirit fruits hanging on the small tree, glowing faintly under the sunlight.
Below the small tree sat an old man, looking to be in his seventies, surrounded by seven or eight burly men.
They were spread around the small tree, appearing extremely vigilant.
Bai Ziyue quickly noticed that there was a huge black bear corpse lying quietly about ten meters away from the small tree. Even from a distance, just looking at it made his heart skip a beat.
Demon!
That was definitely a bear demon that had surpassed exotic beasts and awakened its own inherent magic.
But at this moment, the bear demon was already dead, its body covered in blood and flesh, some of which had already entered the stomachs of the Nine Seals Sect disciples.
"Clearly, this place originally belonged to the bear demon, and it naturally guarded the Golden Spirit Fruit.
But it was discovered by this group of Nine Seals Sect disciples, who then killed it, leaving it dead here.
Now, the Golden Spirit Fruit has not yet matured, otherwise, they wouldn’t be guarding it day and night.
However, from the size and appearance of the Golden Spirit Fruit, it doesn’t seem like it will take long to mature."
Bai Ziyue looked at the seven Golden Spirit Fruits once more, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
He had his own judgment about the strength of demons.
Back then, the snake demon required many people from the Sunburst Gang, along with Liu Dong and Nie Yunhao, two third-class experts, to be dealt with. Nie Yunhao, in particular, was at the peak level of third-class.
This bear demon might not be as powerful as the snake demon, but its strength wouldn’t be weak; it would at least have the combat power of a third-class expert.
Even though Bai Ziyue was very confident in his strength, he dared not claim he could defeat a third-class expert, let alone kill one.
"That old man should be the strongest among them, undoubtedly a third-class expert.
Besides him, the two middle-aged men shouldn’t be underestimated; they are likely Inner Power Realm martial artists.
Moreover, there are five or six others who look quite skillful, at least at the late-stage Inner Cultivation level."
Bai Ziyue’s heart sank.
Snatching food from a tiger’s mouth often results in dying in the tiger’s mouth.
But just giving up like this left him feeling a bit unwilling.
Bai Ziyue’s eyes flickered, and after thinking it over, he decided to retreat first.
He knew his strength was somewhat insufficient. Even with the help of Immortal Techniques, it would be difficult to snatch the Golden Spirit Fruit in front of so many unknown strength Nine Seals Sect disciples, and he might even get trapped among them.
As good as the Golden Spirit Fruit was, it was far inferior to his own life.
Therefore, he decided to retreat.
However, this didn’t mean he had given up.
Calling over his little dog, Bai Ziyue hoisted the lone wolf exotic beast and slowly retreated.
Nearly an hour later, Bai Ziyue’s figure appeared in Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden.
"Leader Bai is back."
"Leader Bai has brought another prey back? This size, another exotic beast?"
"..."
As soon as Bai Ziyue returned to the garden, a group of people immediately came over to greet him, their eyes filled with admiration and awe.
In the past few days, Bai Ziyue would carry back one or two exotic beasts nearly every day, naturally eliciting envy.
Exotic beasts, known for their formidable strength, had flesh that was highly nourishing. Even recently evolved exotic beasts were worth tens to hundreds of silver taels.
Additionally, with the batch of spiritual herbs Bai Ziyue obtained, he earned over a thousand silver taels in just a few days, naturally making people envious.
"Zhou Wei, the usual rule—ten percent for your benefit, the rest converted to silver for me."
Bai Ziyue said as he threw the lone wolf exotic beast into a courtyard.
"This wolf-shaped exotic beast, given its size, hasn’t evolved poorly. It might take at least a martial artist in the initial stage of Inner Cultivation to kill it."
Zhou Wei muttered, quickly replying, "No problem."
"I need to return to town tonight. Just give me the silver tomorrow."
Bai Ziyue naturally heard Zhou Wei’s muttering, but he wasn’t afraid of Zhou Wei discovering his strength secret.
Because Inner Cultivation martial artists excel in penetrating power, targeting weak spots like the heart and lungs.
His strike almost directly severed the wolf’s head without damaging its internal organs; others would only think his sword technique was sharp and his strength extraordinary, never guessing he was an Inner Cultivation martial artist.
This was also why he dared to bring back exotic beasts.
"Leader Bai, are you leaving? Manager Zhang Yong might come by tomorrow. If he asks..."
Wang Erniu said hesitantly from the side.
"I will try to return quickly."
Bai Ziyue’s heart stirred. He had never seen Manager Zhang Yong since he entered Cyan Mountain Medicine Garden, but he still responded and then headed towards Wujiang County.
