Xiao Yi had once heard a rumor.

The reason why the Golden Light Dangerous Land is called such is because at night, the entire vast forest is suddenly engulfed in a misty golden light.

At the same time, it is a dangerous land within the Ten Thousand Gold Territory.

The Ten Thousand Gold Mansion is also known as the Golden Light Prefecture.

Hence the name of this perilous land.

However, there is an even older legend associated with it.

Millions of years ago, this was once the training ground of an ancient powerful figure.

When this ancient powerful figure meditated, even just sitting cross-legged and cultivating quietly, the martial aura he emitted was enough to awe everything within thousands of miles.

Nothing dared to approach within that vast area.

Every night, this ancient powerful figure would emit a light that soared to the sky.

Tens of thousands of feet of golden light surrounded him, seemingly able to rival the heavens and earth.

After countless years, this ancient powerful figure left this place and founded his own family.

Yet, after many years, traces of golden light still linger in this place.

Every night, golden light drifts around, never dispersing.

Indeed, this powerful figure was the one who founded the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion.

The drifting strands of golden light within the dangerous land, if no accident, are the remnants of the power left by this figure.

However, these powers have endured for millions of years without dissipating.

During ancient times, how powerful was this figure exactly?

Xiao Yi once again touched these golden lights.

His hand passed through them once more.

Undoubtedly, within these golden lights lay immense power.

However, martial artists cannot touch them or make use of them.

The demon beasts here, having lived here for countless years, have gradually acclimated to the aura and the changes between day and night.

Thus, their bodies can endure and absorb these golden lights.

This is why the Hidden Tree Python was able to absorb these golden lights and increase its strength considerably.

However, these golden lights do not exist indefinitely.

When the night fades, the golden light enveloping the entire dangerous land will dissipate, and the golden light absorbed by the demon beasts will also vanish.

Moreover, although human martial artists cannot absorb these golden lights, it doesn’t mean they cannot utilize them.

The demon beasts here can absorb this golden light.

Therefore, after slaying them, quickly extract the inner core; at this time, the inner core contains the golden light power.

Using an alchemist’s technique, immediately refine the inner core into a pill to preserve the power within the golden light.

In the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion, specialized ’Golden Light Pills’ are sold, with prices not being cheap.

The effect of the Golden Light Pill is the same as the effect of the demon beasts absorbing these golden lights; it increases a martial artist’s power in a short time.

These were rumors Xiao Yi once thought were just hearsay.

But now it seems, they should all be true.

This is also why demon hunting teams, Wind Envoy Teams, and other martial artist teams venture out only at night to slay demon beasts.

Without a doubt, the Golden Light Dangerous Land is a perilous place, yet also a treasure land.

...

Xiao Yi held the Hidden Tree Python’s inner core with a slight frown.

Because at this moment, the golden light on the inner core was gradually dissipating at a slow rate.

In a few minutes, it would completely vanish unless outside expectation intervened.

The demon beasts here can absorb these golden lights.

But after the demon beasts die, the golden light on the inner core will also gradually dissipate.

This is why the inner core must be quickly refined into a pill after slaying the demon beast.

This is the only way to preserve the power of the golden light.

"No wonder so many martial artist teams come here for training," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

Boom...

Suddenly, a flame gathered in his hand.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures appeared out of nowhere.

The materials and the inner core were thrown into the flame together.

Before long, a perfectly rounded elixir was refined.

It was just a common elixir, after all. With Xiao Yi’s current alchemy skills, if the elixir grade wasn’t too high or the quantity too large, there was no need to employ an Alchemy Furnace.

Xiao Yi glanced at the elixir.

From the outside, this pill didn’t seem particularly special.

It was just an ordinary king-grade elixir.

The materials and techniques Xiao Yi used were just the method for refining a regular power-amplifying elixir.

Normally, if a regular Saint King Realm inner core were used, it would only produce a king-grade power-amplifying elixir.

Now, though its appearance seemed the same, the aura it emitted distinctly bore a sharpness of the gold attribute.

This indicated it was indeed a king-grade Golden Light Pill.

Xiao Yi swallowed it.

Almost instantly as the pill entered his stomach, the aura around Xiao Yi erupted.

"I’ve reached the peak of the Saint King Realm Eighth Layer," Xiao Yi sensed his power, revealing a surprised look.

Such an astonishing effect, even stronger than some top secret techniques. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Yet, after just ten minutes, Xiao Yi’s aura returned to normal.

"The effect of the Golden Light Pill only lasts for about ten minutes," Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

This should relate to the Golden Light Pill’s grade, the level of inner core used during refining, strength of one’s own cultivation, and so forth.

Undoubtedly, the effect of the Golden Light Pill is unbelievably amazing.

According to what he knows, a king-grade Golden Light Pill sold in the Ten Thousand Gold Mansion costs at least 50 Spirit Stones.

If it’s an emperor-grade, the price starts at 500 Spirit Stones, and if the effect is even greater, the price can reach over a thousand Spirit Stones.

It’s a remarkably high price.

But looking at it another way, this Golden Light Pill is undeniably a rare lifesaver.

Whether in conflict or escape, a single Golden Light Pill could indeed change the course of a battle for a martial artist moving about outside.

In this calculation, the Golden Light Pill is worth its price.

"One king-grade Golden Light Pill can sell for 50 Spirit Stones."

"An emperor-grade at the very least can sell for 500 Spirit Stones."

Xiao Yi murmured, suddenly his eyes brightened.

These demon beast inner cores, after slaying a demon beast, will have the golden light on them dissipate quickly.

Therefore, almost all martial artist teams coming here will bring an alchemist along.

Slay the demon beast, extract the inner core, and immediately refine it into an elixir.

But Xiao Yi, he can complete these steps on his own.

With his strength and alchemy skills, he might gain a huge harvest after training here for just a month.

The demon beasts he slays can have their Essence Blood directly absorbed to cultivate the Asura Battle Body.

The inner cores can be refined into Golden Light Pills and sold off, then use the proceeds to buy plenty of Demon Beast Essence Blood.

Xiao Yi’s face became increasingly ecstatic.

"It seems the Asura Battle Body will soon break through to the Ninth Layer, stepping into the Tenth Layer," Xiao Yi chuckled.

Whoosh...his figure flashed, instantly disappearing from the spot.

Xiao Yi began deeply exploring the Golden Light Dangerous Land, hunting demons as he went.

Several hours later, Xiao Yi ventured deeper.

He had already slain dozens of Saint King Realm demon beasts.

Another half an hour passed.

Xiao Yi’s figure suddenly halted.

Ahead, a massive creature was emitting a fierce light, staring directly at him.

"Golden Light Ghost Wolf, Emperor Realm demon beast." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, and the Cold Flame Sword appeared in his hand out of thin air.

...
