The black bear's fate was naturally to be skinned and its flesh cut off. Its thick fur wasn't damaged at all. After washing it, Li Yue placed it on a nearby tree to dry, while the black bear's flesh was to be used for dinner.
But there was too much meat. The black bear weighed nearly five hundred kilograms, and was three meters tall. He naturally couldn't finish it all by himself. He could only take a portion with him, and leave the rest here for the other magical beasts to clean up.
"Bear paw, bear gall, several kilograms of bear meat …"
Squatting on the ground, Li Yue was still busy dealing with the black bear's corpse.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, Li Yue felt a hard object in the black bear's belly.
He clenched his fist and took it out. After opening his bloody palm, a sparkling and translucent black jade-like bead was reflected in his eyes.
"This is … a magic core?"
Magical beasts had magic cores. These were precious magical materials with many uses. The higher the grade of the magic core, the more expensive it would be. This black bear was a magical beast of the fifth rank, so its magic core was naturally of the fifth rank as well.
"Good stuff!"
Li Yue laughed. Putting the magic core into his clothes, he continued to deal with the corpse.
After spending a full hour, he finally left. The only thing left behind was the tattered corpse of the black bear. Lying there, dripping with blood, the entire area was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
…..
Night slowly descended. Within a small canyon in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, Li Yue was sitting on the ground. In front of him was a pile of firewood. Above the fire, a bear paw was sizzling with oil. This was his dinner.
This canyon wasn't very large. Rather than calling it a canyon, it was better to call it a large crevice. It was a crevice formed when the mountain rocks split apart. Thus, at the end of the canyon was a dead end. But there was no wind or rain here, and it was very quiet. Not far away, there was a puddle of water. It was a good place to stay for the night.
Perhaps, until he found a better place to rest, this crevice could be used as a temporary residence for Li Yue. After all, he would be living in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts for a long time.
Deep into the night, after Li Yue had eaten his fill, he closed his eyes and leaned against the wall. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fall asleep.
After entering the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts and encountering magical beasts, coupled with his current mood, he didn't feel the slightest bit sleepy.
"Then … I'll cultivate the 《River Wind Secret Manual》!"
Li Yue murmured. Since he couldn't sleep, he wasn't tired. Instead of wasting time, he might as well use it to cultivate. Since he obtained the River Wind Secret Manual, he hadn't cultivated it even once. He didn't have time to cultivate it, and now was the time.
He had long memorized the secret canon and stored it in his heart.
Li Yue recalled the various aspects of the River Wind Secret Manual in his mind. Naturally, he assumed a posture and sat cross-legged on the ground. He closed his eyes and began to cultivate.
The night was cold and a faint breeze blew past. Li Yue's eyes were tightly closed as he sat cross-legged on the ground. His hands intertwined with each other, forming a strange shape in front of his chest. He began to breathe in and out rhythmically.
His chest rose and fell rhythmically, forming a unique rhythm. Every time he breathed, the hand seals formed by his hands would change slightly. He was adjusting and feeling the most suitable rhythm for himself.
Gradually, without knowing how much time had passed, Li Yue felt as if there were countless ants slowly wriggling around his body. This feeling became more and more intense, and finally turned into a bone-chilling electric current that surged through his entire body.
Suddenly, streams of invisible energy from the heaven and earth rushed into his body like snakes. Following the rhythm of his breathing, the energy entered his body and turned into thin streams that shuttled back and forth. They unceasingly flowed from every part of his body into his limbs and bones, circulating throughout his entire body.
At this moment, Li Yue was still completely in a state of cultivation. The streams of colorless energy from the heaven and earth turned into Dou Qi and unceasingly flowed into his body, tempering and filling it.
His body was like a drain that had been dried up for many years, crazily and greedily absorbing these streams of energy. Then, they converged and transformed, finally turning into streams of colorless Qi and gathering in his lower abdomen.
Li Yue, who was quietly cultivating, had a clear mind. The Dou Qi in his body unceasingly circulated throughout his body. It was as if his entire body was completely soaked in a cool pool of water. Under the gentle nourishment of the energy, his entire body became more comfortable. It was incomparably carefree and comfortable.
Very comfortable.
Very satisfying.
In the night, Li Yue closed his eyes and became more and more serious. His face was solemn as he concentrated his Qi and maintained the best state of cultivation for his body. He continued to greedily circulate the mysterious Qi in his body. Gradually, as time passed, a strange fluctuation slowly circled around his body, forming circles of sound waves that drifted in all directions.
As he breathed in and out, streams of free energy from the heaven and earth were like rivers flowing into the sea. Little by little, they crazily drilled into Luo Feng's body through the pores on his delicate skin. In the blink of an eye, they exploded inside his body and turned into streams of pure and lively heat, warming his bones, washing his meridians, and tempering his muscles …
… …
However, when Li Yue opened his eyes again, it was already seven days later.
At this moment, the sun had just risen. The golden sunlight penetrated through the layers of trees, hitting the rock walls and shining on his face.
And it was at this moment that Li Yue woke up.
"Hoo!"
He opened his eyes. His black and white pupils looked incomparably clear and pure, as if they had been completely washed away. Clear and bright, there was a special charm to them.
His mouth was slightly open, and his breath was like thunder. A muffled sound exploded in the air. That sound was like firecrackers stuffed in a jar, low and powerful.
"Is this Dou Qi cultivation? Sure enough … it's completely different! "
Li Yue stood up and stretched out his arms. All the bones in his body crackled. He waved his hands in a carefree manner, and without warning, he fiercely punched the rock wall beside him.
Bang!
With one punch, the rock wall directly exploded. A deep hole the size of a basketball was smashed out, and debris flew everywhere.
And Li Yue's fist was completely fine. There was not even a trace of red mark. His fist even emitted a faint white light, looking incomparably magical.
"Dou Qi … sure enough, it's powerful!"
Compared to pure physical strength, the power of a punch combined with dou qi was much stronger and fiercer.
Li Yue sensed it slightly. He could easily sense that within his dantian, streams of faint white dou qi were flowing like streams of water, slowly rotating.
"Transforming dou qi into liquid. This is the symbol of a warrior of the seventh rank. So … I've already become a warrior of the seventh rank? This … "
In a single session of training, he had actually risen from the fifth rank to the seventh rank. This sort of speed made Li Yue speechless.
But after thinking it over, he understood a few things.
"Most likely this is because this is my first time training. In the past, I had always trained my physical body. Thus, when I first absorbed the energy of nature, every single part of my body, every single cell, madly absorbed it, madly transforming. Thus … my progress was so great!"
It was understandable that Li Yue would have such an effect on his first cultivation session. Although it was shocking, Li Yue was a cultivation genius in the field of warriors. How could he not improve by leaps and bounds in a single session?
In addition, the abundance of natural energy in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was one of the reasons.
But the next time, there probably wouldn't be such an astonishing effect.
"Rumble."
Right at this moment, Li Yue's stomach suddenly emitted a clear sound.
He was hungry.
And, very hungry.
"This … how many days have passed? This feeling of hunger … I'm about to starve to death!"
Rubbing his shriveled belly, Li Yue didn't say anything else. He immediately pulled out a piece of bear meat from a nearby bundle. Not caring whether it was cooked or raw, he began to gulp it down.
