On the third day, Old Master Zhong's clothes were torn and tattered, but he still walked towards the mountains resolutely.
Standing at the peak of a mountain, Old Master Zhong looked at the surrounding landscape. On the left, there were a few mountains that were filled with miasma. The miasma was so dense that it covered the interior environment. The terrifying black miasma reduced the number of beasts and monsters in that area.
On the right, there was a large river that flowed from north to south. The river was surging, and it was very spectacular.
"Shh ~ ~ ~ ~"
He let out a long sigh. According to the map, he was on the right path. If he continued at his previous speed, he would reach the Kai Yang Sect in two months.
Looking into the distance, Old Master Zhong landed at the foot of the mountain in a few leaps and was about to continue walking towards the north. However, when he reached the foot of the mountain, Old Master Zhong paused.
"Uh …" Old Master Zhong frowned and looked at the surrounding environment.
The tree was broken? The grass was flattened? There was a fight here before? Moreover, it seemed to be quite intense.
With a trace of nervousness, Old Master Zhong continued to walk forward. Following the traces of a fight, Old Master Zhong saw a corpse after a while.
The corpse of a wolf?
The silver wolf from yesterday? Grandpa Zhong's heart skipped a beat. He quickly walked closer to the silver wolf. At this moment, the silver wolf's body was covered with wounds. The wounds looked as if they had been cut by a sharp blade. Moreover, there were countless frost and snow on its body. Had it frozen?
Freeze?
Old Master Zhong looked at the sky. Although it was not summer now, the sun was shining brightly in the sky. It couldn't have frozen, right?
After looking at the silver wolf for a while, Old Master Zhong finally confirmed that this was the silver wolf that wanted to eat him the other day when he found the mark left by his broadsword.
The silver wolf was dead? It was killed by a stronger monster? Could it be that the silver wolf was in heat and saw a monster and rushed towards it? In the end, it was not a match for the monster and was killed instead?
Thinking of this, Old Master Zhong was shocked. He looked around carefully. After confirming that there were no other monsters around, Old Master Zhong quickly took out a small dagger. He slashed at the silver wolf's abdomen.
Although the dagger was small, it was much sharper than the broadsword.
Even though the Silver Wolf had thick skin, it was already dead. Naturally, there was no longer any Demonic Qi protecting its body. In addition, the dagger was made of an unusual material. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Old Master Zhong finally managed to cut the dagger open.
The interior was frozen solid. Old Master Zhong rummaged for a while and finally found a silver pearl the size of a fingertip.
Inner Core, the Silver Wolf's Inner Core. The most direct distinction between a monster and a wild beast was the Inner Core. Monster Beasts already had Inner Cores, but wild beasts did not.
Demonic beasts absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon through their inner cores. Similarly, their inner cores were also filled with the essence of the sun and moon. Although in the eyes of other immortal cultivators, this little demon wolf didn't know any spells and its inner core was definitely the worst, to Old Man Zhong, it was a big treasure.
He put it away carefully. Old Master Zhong continued walking towards the mountain.
"Wa ~ ~ ~ ~"
Right at this moment, a sound suddenly rang out from above Old Master Zhong's head.
Hearing this sound, Grandpa Zhong's heart skipped a beat. He looked up. A crow? No, a white crow. A jackdaw? When it spread its wings, it actually reached more than two meters.
Jackdaw? Monster Beast?
At this moment, the jackdaw was staring at Old Master Zhong. Its eyes turned red, as if Old Master Zhong was its enemy.
Seeing this, Old Master Zhong knew that things weren't good. Jackdaw? Cold Qi? This, this Silver Wolf was frozen solid? It couldn't have done it, right?
"Wa ~ ~ ~ ~"
With a cry, the jackdaw spat out a white breath towards Old Master Zhong.
Seeing the white breath, Old Master Zhong instinctively dodged. The cold breath hit a big tree, and in the blink of an eye, the tree was covered in frost. Frozen solid?
Run! Run!
Grabbing his broadsword, Old Master Zhong quickly ran under the trees. This was a dangerous place deep in the mountains, and the forest was dense. It was also very convenient for Old Master Zhong.
Old Man Zhong ran as fast as he could, but the jackdaw chased after him relentlessly. No matter where Old Man Zhong ran, it chased after him. It even breathed out cold air at certain open spaces, as if it wanted to freeze Old Man Zhong to death.
If Old Master Zhong hadn't dodged in time, he would have been corroded by the cold air. However, the cold air brushed past him, and made his arm feel numb.
Oh no, oh no. If this continued, he would definitely be dragged to death by the jackdaw. After running for more than two hours, the jackdaw chased relentlessly. Just as Old Master Zhong was getting anxious.
Suddenly, another jackdaw flew towards him. Two jackdawns?
Two jackdawns chased after Old Master Zhong.
Old Master Zhong didn't know where the broadsword was, but he didn't have the heart to care about it. Run, he could only run now. But could he outrun them? Two jackdawns, two jackdawns.
Thinking of this, Old Master Zhong steeled his heart. As he ran, he reached his frozen right arm into his clothes and took out a black pill.
Miasma Repellent Pill!
He put it into his mouth, turned around, and rushed to the miasma area on the right.
The Miasma Repellent Pill was a pill that Old Master Zhong had invited many medical experts to work together to refine. It was also the limit of what Old Master Zhong could do with mortal means.
The Miasma Repellent Pill could protect one from all kinds of miasma. However, he didn't know if it would work in this area.
Outside, he would either be chased to death by the two jackdawns or even more jackdawns behind him, or he would enter and fight.
As he ran into the miasma area, Old Master Zhong's feet suddenly stiffened. There was a lot of frost on his shoes.
"Whoosh ~ ~ ~ ~"
They rushed in.
"Wah ~ ~ ~" "Wah ~ ~ ~ ~"
As expected, the two jackdawns didn't want to enter the miasma area. They kept shouting outside.
It was safe. Was it really safe?
Old Master Zhong wiped the sweat off his forehead and used his true qi to force the cold air from his arms and legs. He looked at the jackdawns circling outside, unwilling to leave. There was a lingering fear in his heart. This mountain was too dangerous. If he hadn't reached the Xiantian Realm, he would have died.
At this moment, Old Master Zhong felt a little dizzy.
Dizzy? The Miasma Repellent Pill didn't work?
Thinking of this, Old Master Zhong was shocked. He quickly used his true qi to force the poison out. In a short time, the miasma entered his body. Old Master Zhong's arms were slowly turning black.
Looking at his hands, Old Master Zhong was even more anxious. The jackdawns circled outside, unwilling to leave. What should he do?
He quickly used his true qi, but it could only resist the poison to a certain extent. The miasma was still slowly entering his body.
However, Old Master Zhong found that although his arms were numb, his head was only slightly dizzy. He could still feel it.
Could he feel it?
Thinking of this, Old Master Zhong's heart lit up. He quickly activated the Heavenly Scripture of the Red Phoenix. As soon as the Heavenly Scripture of the Red Phoenix was activated, a layer of pink protective shield formed around Old Master Zhong's body. It did not have the slightest ability to resist physical attacks, but it was able to force the miasma outside?
Red Luan Mist? Red Luan Mist could resist the miasma?
Seeing this, Old Master Zhong was overjoyed. He quickly used his willpower and attached it to his true qi, forming the Red Luan Mist to expel the miasma from his body.
In a short while, the poison in his body was completely cured.
Outside, the two jackdawns refused to leave. What should he do? The Heavenly Scripture of the Red Luan was only the first level. It couldn't be used continuously.
No, he had to leave quickly. He had to pass through the miasma area, climb over the small mountain, and leave the jackdawns' line of sight. He had to continue on his way.
As soon as he thought of this, Old Master Zhong quickly ran north.
Soon, he would be out of the jackdawns' line of sight after climbing over the small mountain.
While they were climbing the mountain, Old Master Zhong suddenly heard a thud.
A thud? But it came from the foot of the mountain he was climbing. Old Master Zhong narrowed his eyes, stood still, and looked at it carefully. Building a business empire after decades had made Old Master Zhong understand that a trace of abnormality that was easy to overlook was often a big opportunity. If he grasped it well, he could make a lot of money. Even if he didn't get anything, he wouldn't lose anything.
This was a small hill that was situated in this abrupt valley. At first glance, it looked as if it was man-made. This was because the top of the hill was filled with hard mountain rocks. However, there were very few hard rocks in the soil at the bottom of the hill.
Seeing the uniqueness of this place, Old Man Zhong's previous thoughts became even stronger. Although the Heavenly Scripture of the Red Phoenix could not last for long, Old Man Zhong still searched left and right. Soon, Old Man Zhong found a cave in a very hidden corner.
