Outside the boundless mountain range was a very complicated environment. There were forests, swamps, wild mountains, and endless water bodies.
These days, a human figure could often be seen flying back and forth, killing beasts after beasts.
"My luck is not that good. None of the thirteen rank 2 beasts managed to condense an inner pellet, and there were even four top rank 2 beasts." Ye Chen cut open the beast's body with his great steel sword and found nothing inside. He was a bit annoyed.
Ever since his Pure Yuan Art reached the highest realm of the fifth transformation, Ye Chen knew that if he wanted to improve quickly, he would have to rely on external objects, such as the inner pellet of a beast.
The inner pellet of a beast was the essence of the beast after absorbing the natural Yuan Qi. Theoretically, a one year old inner pellet could save a warrior a year of hard work, and a five year old inner pellet could save five years of hard work. However, it was only in theory. The inner pellet contained not only the essence of Yuan Qi, but also the beast Qi. If a normal warrior touched a little bit of the beast Qi, he would be in danger of going crazy, and if he touched too much, his body would explode.
Therefore, no matter how much Yuan Qi essence there was in the Neidan, a normal martial artist would not be able to fully utilize it. They would have to use an Evil Warding Potion to dissolve the Demonic Qi within. It would already be considered good if the remaining Yuan Qi was one-fifth or one-tenth. If they were unlucky, the entire Neidan would be dissolved, and all their efforts would be in vain.
Of course, if a warrior reached the Clasping Yuan Realm, he could use his Zhen Qi to absorb the beast Qi and use the inner pellet perfectly. However, the inner pellet had to be below the Clasping Yuan Realm, which meant that a Clasping Yuan Realm warrior would not be able to do anything to an inner pellet that was above rank 4.
The strong smell of blood attracted a lot of beasts. Ye Chen closed his eyes and used his powerful soul power to sense a powerful beast Qi within thirty meters. It should be a top rank 2 beast.
Shoo!
His body flashed, and Ye Chen jumped into the air like a huge bird. He glided twenty meters in the air, and fiercely jumped towards a big tree.
Swoosh!
The big tree was cut in half, and a beast that looked like a wolf and a tiger was exposed.
A top rank 2 beast, the Tiger Wolf Beast!
Ye Chen flicked his wrist, the great steel sword turned into a bright sword light and pierced forward. It was the most powerful sword move of the Lone Peak of Thirteen Swords – the Peak of Perfection.
The Tiger-Wolf Demonic Beast did not expect Ye Chen to act so quickly. Just as it moved its body, its chest was stabbed. The injured Tiger-Wolf Demonic Beast was extremely fierce. It clawed at Ye Chen's arm.
"Courting death, Winding Road Around Peak!" Ye Chen ignored his opponent's attack and poured his inner Qi into his fine steel sword. He swung it in the opposite direction and split open the beast's chest. Then, he chopped off the beast's claws.
The powerful Peak Grade 2 Demonic Beast could not even withstand two moves from Ye Chen. Its body went limp and it slumped to the ground. It was obvious that it would not survive.
Looking at the Tiger-Wolf Demonic Beast's wound, Ye Chen's eyes lit up and he said in ecstasy, "My luck is really changing. This Tiger-Wolf Demonic Beast has an Inner Core in its body."
Cutting open the Tiger-Wolf Demonic Beast's body, Ye Chen reached out his hand and took out an egg-sized, milky yellow Inner Core with a hint of pink.
According to the information on the Demonic Beasts, once a Rank 2 Demonic Beast had an Inner Core, it would have a higher chance of becoming a Rank 3 Demonic Beast. If there was a slight change in the color of the Inner Core, it meant that it was not far from becoming a Rank 3 Demonic Beast. This Inner Core was milky yellow with a hint of pink. It was obviously a sign that it was about to become a Rank 2 Demonic Beast. It was much stronger than a normal Rank 2 Demonic Beast, and judging from its size, it should have been at least a year old.
A year old Inner Core, even if ninety percent of its Demonic Qi and Yuan Qi were removed by the Evil Warding Potion, it would still save at least a month of hard work. Not to mention this Inner Core that was about to become a Rank 2 Demonic Beast, it might even double its original value, which would save at least two months of hard work.
Looking at the Inner Core in his hand, Ye Chen could not control his emotions no matter how calm he was. Two months of hard work! It would at least help him reach the Late Mortal Realm Stage 7. If he was lucky, after using the Evil Warding Potion, the Inner Core would still have one-fifth of Yuan Qi left. That would mean four months of hard work and he would definitely be able to reach the Mortal Realm Stage 8.
Taking out a jade box from his pocket, Ye Chen carefully put the Inner Core into the box and closed the lid to prevent the Demonic Qi and Yuan Qi from leaking out.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen woke up from his ecstasy and looked at the dead body of the Tiger-Wolf Demonic Beast.
"The materials from a Peak Rank 2 Demonic Beast can be sold for at least one thousand silvers. I can't waste it. After all, I still need to save money to buy the Evil Warding Potion, which costs five thousand silvers per bottle." Ye Chen mumbled to himself as he squatted down to collect the materials from the dead beasts. He did not miss a single thing.
After collecting all the materials, Ye Chen frowned. The big leather bag he brought was almost full. If only he had a storage ring.
Of course, he was just thinking about it. Among the core disciples of the Sky Cloud Martial School, only his senior sister Zhu Mei and Luo Hanshan had a storage ring. How could he possibly have one? However, from this, it could be seen how powerful the Emerald Martial School was. Even Ji Xueyan, who was at the peak of the Mid Condensing Reality Realm, had a storage ring. There were countless geniuses in the Emerald Martial School, and there must be a lot of disciples who were more powerful than Ji Xueyan.
"Sigh, a Rank 7 Martial School is indeed a Rank 7 Martial School. They are rich and have all kinds of treasures. My Ye Family is one of the top eight families. Only my father and some of the elders of the family have a storage ring. My mother is one of the most powerful outer elders of the Rudra Martial School, so it is normal for her to have one. It is impossible for anyone else to have one."
Shaking his head, Ye Chen tied up the leather bag and was about to leave.
A strong wind suddenly appeared in the woods. Sand and pebbles were blown into the air. Some small plants were uprooted and flew into the air along with the strong wind.
Ye Chen was shocked, "What kind of strange wind is this? This is too sudden!"
Awoooo!
A horrifying roar was heard. It sounded like it was coming from hundreds of meters away.
Not good, it was a Rank 3 beast. Only Rank 3 beasts and above could release their Demonic Qi and create a gust of wind to confuse people's sight and senses.
Before Ye Chen's soul had traveled to this world, he had seen the part where Wu Song was fighting a tiger in the Water Margin. Before the tiger came out, there would be a gust of wind. But now, this Rank 3 beast was way more powerful than the tiger. The wind it created could be compared to a typhoon.
Without further ado, Ye Chen activated the Pure Yuan Art with all of his strength. He jumped up and flew out like a huge bird, trying to avoid the attack of the Rank 3 beast.
Crack, Crack …
The sound of trees breaking was heard. After a few breaths, a beast the size of a water buffalo appeared where Ye Chen had been. It was tall and muscular. There was no hair on its body, but it was covered with black scales. Its tail was a long scorpion's tail. The hook at the end of the tail was shining with a grey light. Obviously, it was coated with poison, and anyone who got hit by it would die for sure.
Ye Chen turned around and took a look. He immediately pushed his Qi as hard as he could, pushed his Golden Swallow Art to its limit, and ran as fast as lightning.
This strange beast was a Scorpion Tail Demonic Wolf. Even among the Rank 3 beasts, it was a dominating existence. Even a Mid Condensing Reality Realm warrior would have to stay away from it.
