Refine the soul

  The city of Huiyin lies to the south, and this is a must-pass place to enter the barbaric outer domain. Although it's early in the morning, many cultivators have gathered here.

  Almost every master had a tame beast with the body of a lion and two humps on its back, about one zhang in length, tied to his side.

  The desolate outer domain was once laid down with a great seal by the ancient true immortal of the lower realm, and even if the refined god entered it, it would be difficult to escape the light of the Yu Sword. The outer domain is slightly better, where one can use a fierce beast called "Luo Shi" as a mount, traveling hundreds of miles in a day is not a difficult task.

  But the inner domain is completely different, like Luoshi and other weak beasts, they don't dare to set foot in the inner domain at all, unless you have the ability to subdue extremely powerful demon beasts, otherwise you can only rely on your own two legs.

  Upon arrival at the gathering point, Xie Pianpian and several cultivators she had summoned with the Great Profound Sun Gate also arrived one after another.

  Xie Pianpian was in high spirits today, so he rode a "Luo Lion" first, clamped his feet on the lion's belly, and galloped towards the distant, desolate and wild outer domain.

  Including Chu Yi, the other six people all had bitter smiles on their faces and shook their heads as they chased after him.

  Entering the barbaric outer domain, seven people rode on "Luo Shi" and followed the route map bought by Xie Xiangxiang with a large sum of money to head towards the first resource gathering point.

  All the way, with Chu Yi's ability, he has already been able to chat and laugh with others, getting along well. Although it can't be said that they are "friends", at least for now, their relationship seems to be very harmonious.

  After a conversation and understanding, Chu Yi had a brand new cognition of this so-called "adventure team".

  Xie Pianpian's forcibly assembled adventure team had a total of seven members, including herself. Among them, the one with the deepest cultivation and strength was Lu Wanzhan from Zihua Peak. Not to mention his personal cultivation of the third realm of Lingdong, just his "Instant Slash Technique" that had been cultivated to perfection was enough to make people take notice.

  "Instant Slash Technique" is not a skill, but a low-level divine ability. Although it's labeled as "low-level", the fact that it's a divine ability means it's absolutely not to be underestimated. It's worth noting that cultivators can't cultivate divine abilities before the Spiritual Movement stage. Lu Wanjian was able to cultivate this divine ability to perfection at the third boundary of the Spiritual Movement stage, which shows just how strong his innate talent is.

  Apart from Lu Wan Jian, there was another Ling Dong Chu Jing cultivator in the team. This person was not a member of the One Hundred and Eight Peaks, but rather Wang Bei Kong, an outer sect disciple who had been promoted to become an inner sect disciple.

  This person's taciturnity has reached an extreme, from entering the barbaric outer domain to now, he hasn't said even half a word, even if someone talks to him, the response is at most just nodding or shaking his head. As for information about this person, Chu Yu had all been learned from others' mouths.

  Disregarding Xie Yanyan, the beloved daughter of Tianxuanzi, the rest of them, except for Chu Yu who was only at the initial stage of opening his spiritual aperture, were at least at the fifth stage of cultivation after merging.

  "It seems that this Xie Qianqian, although unruly, has a good eye for talent. The people he's chosen are all top-notch. With this group of people wandering around in the wilderness, the safety index should be sufficient."

  Chu Yixin's voice was accompanied by an uncontrollable curiosity, and she activated the Yuanli Tower, sweeping her gaze over several fellow disciples who were hastily advancing in front of her with no signs of the green mark on their foreheads.

  This look, however, gave Chu Yi a big shock. Among the six people in front of him, the one with the highest combat value was not Lu Wan Jian, but Xie Pianpian, who had only just entered the initial stage of fusion, and this value was not just high, it actually reached 8,000.

  "This little girl must have refined some extremely sharp treasure on her body. Is it an ultimate spiritual artifact? Or is there more than one?"

  Chu Yi couldn't help but have a new understanding of Xie Pianpian, this spoiled girl, "This little lass is crazy, but she's not a brainless little servant girl."

  At the same time, Wang Bei Kong, who had always been taciturn and rarely spoke, possessed a combat value of 2,300. He was slightly higher than Lu Wan Jian's line, which made Chu Yi pay extra attention to him.

  Just as Chu Yi was pondering, the seven "Luo Lions" that were galloping forward suddenly stopped without warning and let out a strange roar. No matter how hard they whipped them, they refused to take another step forward.

  "There is a situation."

  Lu Wanjian was the first to jump down from Luo Shi's back, his brow furrowed as he said, "Generally, something that can make a fierce beast like Luo Shi tremble with fear is likely to be a demonic beast lurking nearby."

  Lu Wan Jian was not the first to enter the barbaric outer domain, and his analysis was met with unanimous agreement. The crowd nodded in unison and cautiously scanned their surroundings.

  "In the south......" Lu Wan Jian raised his hand and grasped a handful of air, sniffing several times as if he had detected something.

  As soon as his voice fell, he had unfolded his body and swept into the dense forest of Nan Shou with a stunning speed.

  "Wait for me."

  She followed suit with a carefree and playful heart, the kind of rebellious and arrogant personality that ran in her bones made her feel not even slightly tense, to her, this was going to be an extremely entertaining thing.

  "This young lady can't have a three-long-and-two-short...". With a sense of resignation, knowing that there were monsters ahead, the others could only grit their teeth and follow her forward.

  The dangers of the untamed outer realms are mostly due to the various types of ferocious beasts, which possess spiritual intelligence and innate divine abilities.

  For example, the tiger demon in "Beast Soldier Symbol" is one of the countless demons and beasts, and at the same time, it is also the most basic existence.

  According to the strength of innate divine abilities, differences in bloodline inheritance, and the length of time it takes for a demon beast to grow up, people in the Cultivation Realm divide the myriad demon beasts into nine grades.

  The weakest is the first-level demon beast in "Beast Soldier Token". By analogy, according to legend, the strongest ninth-level demon beast is not a strong creature that can rival the Golden Elixir True Man. Even those alien demon beasts who inherited a thread of ancient blood can rival the Yuan Ying True Lord.

  The desolate outer domain is not comparable to other places, where even the weakest and smallest demon beasts are above the fifth stage, which is equivalent to the existence of a spiritual movement period cultivator. If you're unlucky, it's possible to encounter eighth or ninth stage demon beasts that are on par with Golden Core period cultivators here.

  Lu Wan Jian sprinted forward, his body seemingly generating a whirlwind of blades around him. Any object that dared to block his path would fall apart and open up to the sides two zhang away from him before he even approached.

  With him leading the way, the speed at which the crowd followed the demonic aura increased several times.

  Chu Yi knew that his cultivation was insufficient, so he followed at the back with a steady pace, and also conveniently used a "Divine Movement Symbol" to be prepared for any situation.

  "Huh? It was clearly just here." Lu Wanzhan stopped in his tracks on the empty ground covered with yellow earth, a puzzled expression spreading across his face.

  "What about the demonic beast? I'll catch it and make it my mount!" Xie Xianxian muttered, not knowing when a strangely-shaped jade token had appeared in her hand.

  "Suppressing Demon Seal!"
