Looking at the longbow hanging on her body, she felt that it was a pity that she hadn't been able to use it.
However, Lin Muyu didn't regret it. It wasn't a bad idea to have these weapons. At least in this dangerous Seven Stars Forest, she was no longer defenseless.
…
Chu Yao walked up excitedly and pulled Lin Muyu's hand. "Yu, the Wild Beast's Spirit is a cultivator's most precious thing. Hurry up and refine the Bloodthirsty Tiger's Wild Beast's Spirit. It's a rare treasure. If you don't refine it within two hours, it'll disappear on its own!"
Lin Muyu was dumbfounded. "How do I refine it?"
"You … You didn't comprehend a Martial Soul?" Chu Yao was dumbfounded.
"No …" Lin Muyu was still dumbfounded. "Martial Soul … What's a Martial Soul?"
Chu Yao wanted to die. How could someone be strong enough to torture a Bloodthirsty Tiger to death and not know what a Martial Soul was? She originally thought that Lin Muyu was at least in the second level of the Mortal Realm, but now it seemed that … she was just an ordinary person with a slightly stronger physique.
"Then Yu, you stay here and guard it. I'll refine it."
"Okay!"
Lin Muyu held her longsword and stood guard at the side. Chu Yao sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes. True energy circled around her body. The Wild Beast's Spirit that the Bloodthirsty Tiger produced after its death slowly gathered around her and seeped into her body bit by bit. However, she seemed to only be able to absorb a very small part of it. Moreover, Chu Yao's expression was unusually tired. She was sweating profusely, and not long after, her clothes were almost drenched.
"Sister Chu Yao, are you okay?" Compared to Chu Yao, Lin Muyu was an absolute rookie. She didn't know anything at all.
Chu Yao frowned and didn't say a word.
After waiting for a full two hours, Chu Yao finally let out a breath and opened her eyes. Immediately, she felt as if she had been reborn. Even Lin Muyu could see the change. She smiled and said, "Big sister Chu Yao, did you … did you improve in some way?"
Chu Yao nodded with a smile. "Yes, I've broken through the second level of the Mortal Realm and entered the third level!"
Seeing Lin Muyu's confused expression, Chu Yao couldn't help but laugh, "The martial artists on the continent are measured by numbers. Two hours ago, my strength was estimated to be Level 19, and I won't hide it from you. I've been stuck at Level 19 for two years now, unable to find an opportunity to break through. This time, with the help of the Bloodthirsty Tiger's Beast Spirit, I was able to break through. Speaking of which, when I reached Level 9, it was grandfather who killed a 50-year-old wild boar's Beast Spirit to help me break through! It's just a pity … "
She looked at the large amount of Beast's Beast's soul quickly dissipating and said regretfully, "It's a pity I'm too weak. I can only absorb less than one percent of this 4,000-year-old Beast's spirit energy. It's such a waste. Hurry up, Yu. Use your weapon to pry open this Bloodthirsty Tiger's head. There should be spirit stones inside!"
"Oh …"
Lin Muyu walked forward, pulled out her sword, and slashed at the wound left by Hawkeye several times. Finally, the Bloodthirsty Tiger's head was cut open. The brain, which reeked of blood, flowed to the ground, but there was a stone with a fiery red luster embedded in the skull. Chu Yao smiled happily. "There really is a spirit stone. Hurry up and pry it out!"
With a bang, the spirit stone fell into Lin Muyu's hand. It was warm.
Chu Yao smiled. "A 4,000-year-old spirit stone is a great treasure. Yu, keep it well. Don't let anyone else know of its existence other than my sister."
"Mm."
Lin Muyu stuffed the spirit stone into her pocket. Then, she cut off a piece of the Bloodthirsty Tiger's hind leg with her sword and stuffed it into her pouch. This was their rations when they got out of the Seven Star Forest. If they could find a fire source, they might be able to eat some cooked meat.
… …
"Yu, let's go?" Chu Yao pulled Lin Muyu's hand and said with a smile, "What are you looking at? This place is too dangerous. There are all kinds of Spirit Beasts over a thousand years old. If we meet another one, we won't be able to leave. "
"No, we can't just leave like this …" Lin Muyu frowned. "Sister Chu Yao, I want … I want to find the Bloodthirsty Tiger's cave. You should go back first!"
"Cave?"
Chu Yao said, "What's there to find in a tiger's cave?"
Lin Muyu smiled. "As far as I know, the Bloodthirsty Tiger's favorite hobby is to collect rare treasures. The stronger the Bloodthirsty Tiger, the better the treasure it collects. This Bloodthirsty Tiger is 4,000 years old, so it's already an old monster. We can't let it go."
Chu Yao couldn't help but laugh. "You little brat, you really aren't afraid of death. Fine, but do you know where the Bloodthirsty Tiger's cave is?"
"Before the Bloodthirsty Tiger dies, it is very fond of its cave, so it will run in the direction of its cave. Just now, when the Bloodthirsty Tiger died from blood loss, it changed its direction, and its head was facing the direction of the cave."
"Really?"
"Mm." Lin Muyu nodded confidently. This was indeed the setting in Conquer. From the herbs to the Bloodthirsty Tiger, everything in the game had been verified here. This convinced Lin Muyu without a doubt.
Chu Yao nodded silently and said, "Alright then. Help me break through to Rank 20, Yu, and I'll go with you."
"Is a Rank 20 Battle Spirit very powerful? Sister Chu Yao is so happy … "
"Of course. Although there are countless martial practitioners above Rank 20 in Silver Fir City, but … but the War Holy Temple's rules state that Battle Spirits between Rank 20 and Rank 29 can receive one Gold Coin from the War Holy Temple branches every month. It's not much, but it's not a small amount either. If I can get this one Gold Coin, my grandfather will be very happy."
Lin Muyu couldn't help but smile when she saw that Chu Yao was as happy as a little girl. Then, she walked towards the tiger's cave with her longsword in hand.
… …
After running madly for an hour with Falling Star Steps, Qin Lie's legs were a bit tired, and his crooked gait was quite comical. Even Chu Yao couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lin Muyu didn't mind and continued to walk in this comical manner. Chu Yao felt a bit bad and supported him as they walked. She said softly, "Spirit beasts often appear at night, so we need to find the tiger's nest before sunset. Then, we'll spend the night in the nest and leave at dawn tomorrow. We'll return to Silver Fir City before sunset."
"Mm."
Chu Yao was a smart girl. She knew that this area was the territory of the Bloodthirsty Tiger, and that the Bloodthirsty Tiger's lair was a place that other low tier spirit beasts wouldn't dare to challenge. Thus, spending the night in the tiger's lair was relatively safe.
Fortunately, the two of them were quite lucky. After walking for less than two hours, they found the Bloodthirsty Tiger's lair. It was a lair inside a cave. Using the principles of flint-wood and resin to make a torch, they lit it up and entered the lair. Immediately, a fishy smell wafted into the air. The lair was filled with bones. There were beast bones, human bones, and even a corpse wearing armor. The flesh and blood had been ripped out of the armor.
"Ugh …"
Chu Yao looked a bit terrified, but Lin Muyu gripped her hand and gestured for her not to panic.
After entering the depths of the cave, it was very dry and warm. The Bloodthirsty Tiger's bed was covered with hay, but the treasures seemed to be some useless stones. There were also a few Gold and Silver Coins, which were probably left behind by the 'hunters'. Other than that, there was also a pair of daggers. They were sparkling and translucent. One look and anyone could tell that it was no ordinary item.
Lin Muyu waved the dagger and smiled. "Not bad. Big sis Chu Yao, it's yours!"
Chu Yao was pleasantly surprised. "You're really giving it to me?"
"Mm. I don't like short weapons."
"Alright!"
Chu Yao gripped the dagger with an indescribable joy in her heart. The dagger looked extremely exquisite, and she could sense the sentience within it when she held it in her hand. It was clearly a soul-refined weapon that contained a beast soul. Although Chu Yao didn't know much about the classification of weapons in the empire, she knew that soul-refined weapons were no ordinary items. At the very least, they were far superior to the weapons of Eagle Eye and Hua Wan. Given Hua Wan's status, even the young lord of Cathaya City didn't have a weapon like this. It was enough to show the value of this dagger.
Her heart thumping wildly, Chu Yao looked at Lin Muyu's handsome profile and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look again.
Aside from the dagger, there was also a metal box in the corner of the cave. Using the dagger to pry it open, there was a book covered in dust. Chu Yao pursed her lips and blew on it. Immediately, the book's name and half of the rotted binding were revealed. On the cover, there were three ancient characters — 《Divine Medicine Canon》!
… …
"God of Medicine Codex?" Lin Muyu smiled. "It looks like we've really picked up a treasure. Sister Chu Yao, grandpa hasn't been able to break through to the grandmaster realm. He must need a book like this, right?"
Chu Yao nodded repeatedly. "Yes, I probably won't be able to understand it with my current level of cultivation. Bring it back to grandpa!"
"Alright!"
Chu Yao flipped open the tattered book. As expected, she couldn't understand the words on it. The changes in medicinal essence and formulas were also extremely profound. She stuffed it into her clothes and brought it back for Chu Feng to study. As for Lin Muyu, she was a grandmaster alchemist and knew all the formulas from level one to god level. This God of Medicine Codex was nothing to her. After a few glances, she realized that there were many words she couldn't understand. She felt that she needed to read more.
… …
As night fell, they could no longer continue their journey. After a brief discussion with Chu Yao, they decided to set up camp outside the cave. There were simply too many corpses in the tiger's lair. Chu Yao was worried that she wouldn't be able to sleep at all.
They hadn't rested since the night before. Now, they finally had a chance to rest.
It was unknown where Lin Muyu got a steel helmet from. She started a bonfire outside the tiger's lair and filled the helmet with water. Then, she cooked the tiger's meat. The meat of a 4,000-year-old spirit beast was extremely rare, so it was extremely difficult to cook it. After two whole hours, the fragrance of the meat permeated the air. The two had long been starving, so they shared the meat and took turns drinking the soup. After a full meal, they laid down dried grass under a tree in the marsh as a bed for the night.
Very soon, the exhausted Chu Yao fell asleep.
Lin Muyu applied a layer of his own medicine on the wound, and it had basically begun to heal. He lay there and looked at the stars in the sky, recalling everything that had happened since he came to this world. Fortunately, grandpa Chu Feng and Chu Yao had taken him in. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to survive in this world where the strong preyed on the weak.
But now, Lin Muyu discovered that not only had he mastered the art of weaponsmithing, but he had also awakened the Fallen Star Step. Moreover, the true qi in his body was expanding day by day. He was confident that he could become a powerful warrior, so what he needed to do now was to become stronger and stronger. He needed to protect grandpa Chu Feng and sister Chu Yao. Perhaps he couldn't go back anymore, but in this world, they were the only people he could rely on.
At this time, Chu Yao let out a soft moan. Probably because she felt cold, she buried her face in Lin Muyu's bosom. Suddenly, a wave of fragrance rushed into his bosom. Even Chu Yao's warm breath hit against Lin Muyu's neck, making him unable to help but let his imagination run wild. Looking down, he saw Chu Yao hugging him, a pair of snow-white breasts pressing against his chest. Under the illumination of the firelight, the breasts moved up and down with each breath, like a pair of translucent, warm, and soft jade rabbits.
In a daze, Lin Muyu also fell asleep. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt Chu Yao move in his bosom. He opened his eyes and was just about to say something, but his mouth was covered by Chu Yao's hand. Chu Yao's pair of beautiful eyes looked at him, then she slowly raised her head and gestured upwards. Lin Muyu looked up and was immediately scared out of his wits. He saw a giant wolf covered in green fur standing on a rock above the depression, and its merciless eyes were staring at the two of them.
That was the eyes of a predator that wanted to enjoy its prey!
Swift Wolf!
Lin Muyu's heart skipped a beat. Swift Wolves were very agile beasts, and their attacks were like lightning. If they appeared in a group, it would be even more terrifying.
