The Shattering Cloud Sect was quite influential in the South Forest County. The Sect Master's net worth was definitely not low. As long as he had money, Ye Xuan could make unlimited breakthroughs and find a powerful backer. That was Ye Xuan's plan.
However, before he found a backer, Ye Xuan could not reveal his devouring ability to prevent others from coveting it.
However, he didn't leave for the Shattering Cloud Sect directly. He wanted to settle the Hundred Beasts Bloodline before going to the Shattering Cloud Sect.
Lianyun City was quite a distance away from the Shattering Cloud Sect. It would take ten days to half a month to get there. Coincidentally, there was a good place to train, the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun.
"Ah, Ye Xuan, are you thinking of taking the shortcut of the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun?"
Xue Qingqing could not help but ask.
"That's right!" Ye Xuan nodded his head.
Right now, he still needed the blood essence of ninety-nine types of demonic beasts. The Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun was his first choice. In the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun, seventh rank demonic beasts would appear from the tenth mountain range onwards. There were ninth rank demonic beasts in the sixteenth mountain range.
However, Ye Xuan's plan was to train around the tenth mountain range for a period of time. Then, he would leave through the ninth mountain range and rush to the Shattering Cloud Sect.
"But I'm only in the mid-fourth rank of the Martial Path. Aren't you afraid that I'll drag you down and we'll die together?" Xue Qingqing was a little worried.
"If we really encounter danger, then we'll just be a pair of mandarin ducks." Ye Xuan laughed.
It was only a seventh rank demonic beast. He could still handle it. After all, he still had some devouring points to exchange for the Bursting Spiritual Pill.
Moreover, as long as he had the Hundred Beasts Bloodline, he would definitely be able to challenge those of a higher rank.
Thinking about it, as a mid-seventh rank of the Martial Path, he would be able to defeat a peak seventh rank martial artist. How awesome would that be?
"Hmph, who wants to be a mandarin duck with you?" Xue Qingqing wrinkled her nose. However, her mind was also filled with thoughts. If Ye Xuan's father hadn't rejected her, she would probably be engaged to Ye Xuan right now.
Entering the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun was part of Ye Xuan's plan. However, due to the issue of Xue Qingqing's strength, Ye Xuan did not allow her to follow. Instead, he arranged for her to stay in a small town outside the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun.
As for Ye Xuan, he entered the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun alone. In less than two days, he arrived at the tenth mountain range of Lianyun. From here onwards, seventh-rank demonic beasts would appear.
"Ninety-nine kinds of seventh-rank demonic beasts' blood essences, this is not an easy task. Forget it, let's do it!"
Ye Xuan took a deep breath.
The Hundred Beasts Bloodline required the blood essence of a hundred types of demonic beasts of the seventh grade and above. Although there were quite a few demonic beasts in the Eighteen Mountain Ranges of Lianyun, there were only so many types of demonic beasts.
Ye Xuan did not know if he could gather a hundred types of demonic beasts. If he really couldn't, he would have to buy them. However, it wouldn't be that easy to buy them because most people would only take the materials from the demonic beasts and rarely collect the blood essence. Only a small amount of demonic beasts' blood essence could be used to refine pills.
Just like that, Ye Xuan began his long journey of hunting.
In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed. In these seven days, Ye Xuan had hunted hundreds of demonic beasts.
However, most of them were sixth-rank and below. There were only twenty or so demonic beasts that were seventh-rank, and some of them were duplicates.
Looking at the Hundred Beasts Blood Essence Slot, Ye Xuan felt a little helpless. At this rate, he was afraid that it would take a long time to fill it up.
He was a little hesitant now.
"I only have twenty-two types of Hundred Beasts Blood Essence now. I still need seventy-eight. This is too slow. I might as well go to a big city and sell the martial arts. Then I can get a hundred devouring points to buy one."
Ye Xuan started to worry, but in the past few days, he'd hunted hundreds of demonic beasts and had improved quite a bit. He estimated that if he stayed here for two months, he might be able to break through to the peak of the seventh level of the martial dao.
After thinking for a while, he finally decided to go deeper. Perhaps he would encounter more seventh-rank demonic beasts.
At this time, he was in the twelfth mountain range. If he went deeper, he would reach the thirteenth mountain range, where eighth-rank demonic beasts would appear.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Although it was more dangerous, he could still escape from ordinary eighth-rank demonic beasts.
Immediately, Ye Xuan moved forward.
An eighth-rank demonic beast was equivalent to an eighth-rank martial artist. However, the biggest difference between demonic beasts and humans was that they usually fought head-on.
For ordinary people, this was a difficult thing to deal with. However, Ye Xuan was a multi-species martial artist. In addition to sword and fist techniques, he also had a bow and arrow.
As long as he took the initiative, he might be able to deal with eighth-rank demonic beasts with his mid-seventh-rank cultivation.
He didn't know whether he was unlucky or lucky. He had just entered the thirteenth mountain range and he already encountered an eighth-rank demonic beast.
"Saber-toothed Tiger. It has extraordinary strength. Its sharp fangs can pierce through a person's body."
Ye Xuan looked at the yellow tiger in front of him that was eating a demonic beast's corpse and thought to himself.
Fortunately, the tiger was focused on eating and didn't notice Ye Xuan.
"This Saber-toothed Tiger is a low-level eighth-rank demonic beast. As long as I keep a distance, there shouldn't be any problem."
Ye Xuan thought to himself. He began to quietly approach the tiger. When he was only a hundred meters away from it, he suddenly drew his bow.
Preemptive strike!
"Xiu!"
"Xiu!"
"Xiu!"
A series of arrows swept out and shot towards the Saber-toothed Tiger.
The eighth-rank demonic beast was still eating and didn't expect someone to sneak up on it. It was directly hit by six arrows.
However, eighth-rank demonic beasts had tough skin and thick flesh. Moreover, the Chaotic Star Arrow wasn't very strong. It was superior in quantity.
The Saber-toothed Tiger roared and turned its head to rush towards Ye Xuan.
"Chaotic Star Arrow!"
Before the Saber-toothed Tiger could reach Ye Xuan, it was turned into a sieve by the countless arrows. Blood splattered all over the ground.
"Ao!"
The Saber-toothed Tiger relied on its strong vitality to withstand Ye Xuan's attacks and rushed in front of him. Then, it pounced and its fangs, which were longer than Ye Xuan's arms, shone brightly under the sunlight. It seemed like it wanted to pierce through Ye Xuan's head.
"Large demonic beasts are harder to kill. It's better to use guerrilla warfare!"
Ye Xuan immediately used the seventh-grade movement technique, Nether Steps, to escape and then continued to shoot with his bow.
Although the Saber-toothed Tiger was an eighth-rank demonic beast, it was still dominated by its bestial nature and didn't have high intelligence. It continued to resist Ye Xuan's attacks and pounced forward.
Ye Xuan kept retreating and attacking. The Saber-toothed Tiger couldn't do anything to him. In less than half a minute, the Saber-toothed Tiger was already drenched in blood and its speed had obviously decreased.
After another half a minute, it was finally exhausted by Ye Xuan to the point of almost dying.
"Plop!"
