Next to the bonfire, Lu Ye gorged himself on a large snake. The snake was three meters long and as thick as an arm. Its meat was delicate and white, leaving a lingering fragrance in his mouth.
It had been half a month since his spirit pills were used up. Naturally, the results of his cultivation during this time weren't as good as before, but it was still better than he expected. According to his current progress, he would be able to break through the ninth spiritual aperture's barrier in another month.
The reason for this progress was mainly because he discovered one thing.
That was, the efficiency of refining essence into qi was much faster than the rate of absorbing spiritual qi.
Where did essence come from? Without Qi and Blood Pills, he could only eat!
Previously, when he ate the wolf meat, he noticed this. Later, when he hunted some other beasts, he discovered that the meat produced in the Spirit Stream Battlefield was very nutritious. The larger the beast, the more obvious this was.
He wasn't good at absorbing spiritual qi. Perhaps because of his low innate talent, it was very difficult for him to guide spiritual qi into his body. However, the things he ate were different. As long as he could digest them, they would be able to replenish his blood essence. Then, he could refine his blood essence into spiritual qi, which would have the same effect of increasing his strength.
As a result, in the past half month, the nearby beasts suffered. Originally, after Lu Ye opened his aperture, his appetite had been greatly increased. Now that he focused on refining essence into qi, he ate even more.
As a result, there were no longer any beasts within a few kilometers of the cave. Today, Lu Ye had to search for a long time before he finally found the snake.
Halfway through his meal, the cave's entrance darkened and a fishy smell assaulted his face.
Lu Ye raised his head and saw a huge figure standing at the cave's entrance, letting out a low roar.
Lu Ye hurriedly got up and took out a long sword from his storage pouch. With one hand holding the sword and the other holding a Fire Snake Talisman, he secretly circulated his spiritual qi.
He had lived here for a month and hadn't encountered any other cultivators or powerful beasts. He originally thought that this was a peaceful place, but he didn't expect to be disturbed by an uninvited guest today.
Lu Ye had already anticipated such a situation, so although he was surprised, he didn't panic and quickly made the correct response.
The cave was small and narrow. If the other party dared to attack him, the Fire Snake Talisman in his hand could teach the other party a lesson. If the Fire Snake Talisman didn't work, he still had other talismans. If that didn't work, he could slap a Vajra Talisman on himself. The long sword in his hand wasn't just for show.
Only then did Lu Ye see clearly what this uninvited guest was. It was a big tiger.
It had snow-white fur all over its body, and there was not a speck of dust on its body. There was a huge 'King' (王) character on its forehead, and its amber tiger eyes were soul-stirring.
When Lu Ye's eyes met the pair of tiger eyes, he couldn't help but become absent-minded for a moment, knowing that he had encountered an incredible monster.
During this period of time, he had killed quite a few beasts, some of which were even bigger than this tiger. However, he had never encountered a beast that could give him such an oppressive feeling.
After all, he was a cultivator who had unsealed eight chakras.
This was not an ordinary beast, but a demonic beast with some cultivation!
Demonic beasts were different from ferocious beasts. Demonic beasts knew how to cultivate. Rumor had it that some demonic beasts could take human form if they opened some key spiritual cavities.
This was the origin of the saying that demonic beasts couldn't take human form if they didn't open their chakras, and humans couldn't cultivate if they didn't open their chakras.
Many sects would also take in demonic beasts as disciples because most demonic beasts had strong bodies and were naturally good seedlings to walk the path of body cultivation.
Lu Ye didn't know much about the cultivation world of the Nine Provinces, so he naturally didn't know this information.
He only knew that his current situation was somewhat troublesome. He was in the cave, and the big tiger had blocked the entrance. Unless he killed his way out, there was no way out.
However, he didn't know how strong the big tiger was.
During the confrontation, the big tiger roared at him, making Lu Ye even more nervous. He almost activated the Fire Snake Talisman in his hand!
"Brat, are you the one killing everyone?" A muffled thunderous voice sounded in the cave, shaking the surrounding rocks.
Lu Ye couldn't help but be startled, looking at the big tiger with inexplicable surprise.
As if seeing Lu Ye's confusion, the big tiger said, "It's me who's talking, you little brat!"
Lu Ye's heart sank to the bottom. He seemed to have underestimated the big tiger's strength. This guy could already speak human language. He didn't know how strong it was, but it seemed to be much stronger than him.
"I'm asking you a question. Why aren't you talking?" The big tiger's temper wasn't very good. It roared again, and a threatening growl came from its throat.
If it was a blessing, it wouldn't be a disaster. If it was a disaster, it couldn't be avoided. Lu Ye could only brace himself and say, "It's not me!"
The big tiger raised its claws and slammed the ground angrily, causing the earth to shake. "Who else could it be if it wasn't you? You're the only human in a thirty-mile radius!" It paced back and forth at the entrance of the cave, but its eyes were fixed on Lu Ye. "This is my territory. Without my permission, you dare to wantonly kill my food. It seems that you don't want to live anymore!"
Lu Ye's scalp went numb, and he suddenly felt that his life was hanging by a thread.
However, Lu Ye now understood why the tiger had come looking for him. This place was its territory, and the beasts he killed were all food in its territory. In the past half a month, Lu Ye had killed a lot of beasts, which attracted the tiger's attention. Following some clues, it came looking for him.
"Tell me, how do you want to settle this matter?" The big tiger asked again.
At this point, Lu Ye was no longer as panicked as before. Although it was strange for a Monster Beast to negotiate conditions with him, it was better than the other party killing him without a word.
He frowned and said, "I've already eaten them. How do you want to settle this?"
The big tiger stared at him and said, "Hand over your Spirit Pills and I'll let this matter rest. If you dare to say no, this place will be your burial ground!"
"I don't have any Spirit Pills." Lu Ye shook his head. If he had Spirit Pills, why would he need to kill beasts for meat?
The big tiger said, "Spirit Stones are fine too!"
"I don't have any Spirit Stones either."
The Sect Master didn't prepare any Spirit Stones for him. Perhaps he thought that Lu Ye didn't need them now?
"You don't have this, you don't have that, I think you want to die!" The big tiger was clearly impatient.
Lu Ye sighed, "I really don't have any!"
"Then what do you have in your storage bag?" The big tiger asked.
"Some Spirit Talismans and a bottle of Healing Pills," Lu Ye answered truthfully.
"What a poor bastard!" The big tiger couldn't help but snort disdainfully, "Give me the Healing Pills and I'll let this matter rest."
"What do you want the Healing Pills for?" Lu Ye's expression was a little strange.
"Why do you care what I want? Hurry up and give them to me! "
"Okay …" Lu Ye reluctantly responded and took out the bottle of Healing Pills from his storage bag. After pondering for a moment, he slowly placed it on the ground.
"Throw them over!" The big tiger ordered.
Lu Ye looked at the big tiger, "Why don't you come and get them yourself?"
"I told you to throw them over!" Lu Ye's attitude undoubtedly angered the big tiger, causing it to roar.
"Fine." Lu Ye raised his foot and kicked the bottle on the ground away. At the same time, he activated the Fire Snake Talisman in his hand. Under the surge of Spirit Qi, the Fire Snake Talisman turned into a red light and attacked the big tiger like a fire snake.
But this wasn't the end. He stomped his foot and his body moved like lightning as he charged forward with his sword.
