Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Ferocious Beast Inner Elixir_1

”Hmph, let the lot of you be frightened for a while. Soon, this young master will return to Sanders Castle, and when that time comes, I’ll repay you all tooth for tooth, an eye for an eye, a hundredfold!”

Ling Xiao snorted coldly, stretched his body, and glided towards the distance.

The adventure in the Ancient Martial Arts Cave Mansion was an opportunity, but Ling Xiao’s goal remained unchanged; his next step was still to engage in arduous cultivation.

For him, Linglong Fairy and the group of Cold-faced Martial Artists were the last trial before his return to the Sect.

He believed that those two would not leave.

The woman, Linglong Fairy, was incredibly proud; escaping with her tail between her legs was not her style at all.

After landing, Ling Xiao took out the Array Refining Stone from the Mountain and River World and kept it on his person.

That was a special situation just now, necessitating the temporary removal of the Array Refining Stone, but the arduous cultivation had to continue.

...

In the jungle exuding a damp odor, Ling Xiao sat atop a golden, bull-shaped Ferocious Beast he had just killed.

He ate the freshly roasted beef while contemplating his next move.

This was already the third day he had been traveling alone deep within the Fulong Mountain Range.

During these three days, he didn’t rush on his way but spent the daylight hours traveling and searching for opportunities to battle beasts.

At night, he cultivated to speed up the enhancement of his cultivation level.

In just three days, he had encountered Ferocious Beasts no fewer than twenty times, and of those, he was only able to handle six.

The rest of the beasts were too terrifying; he dared not confront them directly, so he had to choose between escaping or concealing himself.

Battle could enhance his strength and combat skills.

Escaping and hiding could also improve his survivability.

As a Martial Artist like him, it was impossible to be invincible, so fleeing and hiding were actually the norms. Mastering the ability to survive might be more beneficial to him than the enhancement of his fighting strength.

”Hmm?”

While he was eating, several black-furred Giant Bears appeared in his vicinity.

Undoubtedly, these Giant Bears were attracted by the scent of the meat.

Five Giant Bears, standing there, were seven or eight meters tall. Their steps made a ”thud thud” sound, making the ground seem to tremble.

Of course, this wasn’t worth Ling Xiao’s attention.

He had seen Giant Beasts even larger than these.

The problem now was that among the five Giant Bears, four were Level 1 Dangerous Beasts, while one was a Fourth-tier Peak Ferocious Beast.

A beast of this level was even more powerful than a Martial Artist in the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer.

”Although defeating this fellow with the Array Refining Stone is a bit difficult, this is the first Fourth-tier Ferocious Beast I’ve come across in three days; it would be a pity not to kill it.”

Ling Xiao dropped the beef in his hand and stood up alertly.

The Inner Elixir of a Fourth-tier Ferocious Beast was one of the main ingredients for the Hundred-Year Nine Dragons Quenching Yuan Pill.

If he could get his hands on the Inner Elixir of the Fourth-tier Beast, he would be able to refine pills and then find a safe place to start taking them, striving to enhance his cultivation level with all his might.

He didn’t know how much the Hundred-Year Nine Dragons Quenching Yuan Pill could increase his cultivation level, but he reckoned that reaching the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer should be no issue.

These past several days, he continually exhausted the True Essence within his body and then took Lower-grade Zhenyuan Pills. Along with the sustained practice of the Twelve Golden Lotus Art, his cultivation had already broken through to the late stage of the Transcendent Realm Third Layer.

If a Hundred-Year Nine Dragons Quenching Yuan Pill couldn’t promote him to the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer, then the pill really wasn’t much use.

It wouldn’t have been worth his master Yuan Venerate introducing it to him at all.

”Come on!”

Ling Xiao dragged his heavy body and slowly approached the Giant Bear.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The giant bear and Ling Xiao made their moves almost simultaneously.

On Ling Xiao’s fist, there were three air swords, each only about three inches long—one of the fruits of his three days of cultivation.

They felt just as sharp as claws.

The giant bear, on the other hand, brandished its massive paws, and its sharp claws felt like several foot-long blades as it swiped down.

Whoosh!

Thud!

Both sides struck each other almost at the same time.

Ling Xiao didn’t dodge because even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to escape. The Array Refining Stones on his body were too heavy; evasion was definitely not a good strategy.

So, he chose to withstand the hit!

The giant bear’s claws grazed his body, leaving behind a blinding trail of sparks, yet they were unable to tear open his flesh.

In terms of the toughness of the body, Ling Xiao believed that no one within the Transcendent Realm could match him.

His air swords, however, sliced open the skin of the giant bear, suddenly elongated, and then stabbed into the wound.

”Roar~~”

The giant bear let out a pained roar.

Unfortunately, by then it was already a bit too late. The air swords extended within the giant bear’s body, piercing its soft heart in an instant.

Even for a beast of this caliber, once the heart was shattered, there was no possibility of survival.

In terms of brains, the giant bear was indeed not as cunning as Ling Xiao.

Of course, the success of this battle was also thanks to the versatility of the air swords.

While their attack power was not yet on par with the Snow Lotus Sword Technique, their versatility was outstanding. As long as Ling Xiao’s mind was sharp enough, and his imagination wide enough, he could think of countless ways to utilize them.

Ling Xiao withdrew the air swords and backed away.

The other giant bears attacked him desperately, but he didn’t care at all.

If a Fourth-tier Peak giant bear couldn’t tear open his flesh, how could a Level 1 Dangerous Beast giant bear cause him any harm?

The Fourth-tier Pinnacle beast struggled to seek revenge before dying, but its injuries were too severe. After swaying a few times, it eventually fell to the ground helplessly, with only enough strength left to twitch.

Seeing this, the rest of the giant bears roared and fled.

Ling Xiao took out the Floating Snow Sword, cut open the body of the giant bear along the wound, and extracted a grayish-white spherical object from inside.

”Hehe, got the Fourth-tier Ferocious Beast’s Inner Elixir!”

Looking at the Inner Elixir, Ling Xiao couldn’t help but grin.

After hunting for three days, he finally found an Inner Elixir. The beasts he killed before didn’t have Inner Elixirs in them.

Not every beast had an Inner Elixir; in general, beasts with Inner Elixirs had about twice the combat strength of those without.

Without paying attention to the giant bear’s corpse, Ling Xiao quickly left the area.

Killing a Fourth-tier Peak Ferocious Beast would bring trouble; he had to leave quickly, or he wouldn’t be able to later.

After running wildly for about a quarter of an hour, he stopped at a cliff rich in Spiritual Qi.

There was a cave halfway up the mountain; however, this time it was just an ordinary cave, not an Ancient Martial Arts Cave Mansion.

It was the perfect place for him to make pills and cultivate quietly for a while. The steep and complex terrain made it difficult for anyone to find easily.

After entering the cave, Ling Xiao transferred the Array Formation from the previous Ancient Martial Arts Cave Mansion to the entrance.

The Array Formation was simple, and he had all the required materials.

Since he had already copied the Array Formation with the Array Refining Stones beforehand, setting it up was easy and quick.
