Chapter 24: Spirit Beast Demon Dan (Part 1)

  In the misty valley, there were only mountains and dense forests. Li Ran's knife followed the clear stream of the mountain torrent and entered the depths of the forest. The ancient trees shaded the sky, their trunks strong and twisted, looking forward, a vast expanse of green stretched out before him.

  After five days of searching, Li Ruo had gone deep into the Misty Valley. He stopped and looked at a few feet away, a Dendrobium growing on an ancient tree. He shook his head slightly in disappointment, quickly walked over, and dug out a small section of thin Dendrobium about the thickness of a finger from the trunk of the ancient tree.

  This is just an ordinary wooden stake, with a weak spiritual power. If it were to be used as medicine, it could cure many stubborn and complicated diseases, but for Li Ruo Dao, it was like a chicken rib.

  After some thought, I decided to untie the bundle and put the wood in it.

  Look up at the sky, and the light is just the brightest time of the day. However, the sunlight penetrates through the thick fog, and then comes down from the dense branches and leaves above the forest, becoming very dim in the woods.

  Li Ruo had been advancing in the valley for five days, but he had gained nothing.

  It's not surprising that the spiritual medicine is born with the spirit of heaven and earth, even in a large area of ??foggy valley with dense spiritual energy, there is only a 10% chance of giving birth to a spiritual medicine, so how can such a precious thing be picked up easily.

  What's more, he searched alone and the area covered was very narrow. A large group of people had already plowed through from the front, so Li Ran's harvest can be imagined.

  Li Ran sighed and quickened his pace, another day passed, ordinary herbs were picked up by him quite a lot, adding the clothes changed during disguise to the bundle, it looked bulging.

  Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of me, and this day finally emerged from the forest. In front of me, I saw a narrow stone path that seemed to lead to the sky, with steep and dangerous cliffs on both sides. The path was so narrow that only one person could pass through at a time, and it was also very slippery, making my heart beat nervously.

  Li Ranno had heard others say that the Misty Valley was divided into outer and inner valleys, with a single line of Heavenly Stone Ridge as the dividing mark. It was said that the inner valley was more vast in area and had more spiritual objects, but Li Ranno's previous life had not even reached the inner valley.

  Although Li Ruo Dao has now reached the fourth level of Jingyuan Jin, and has stronger self-protection abilities in the Misty Valley, his goal is not just that. His goal is the selection match for new disciples of the Xuanji Sect six months later.

  Without joining the Mystic Sect, there was no great backing, and Li Ruo's knife saving his father from suffering would have had no hope at all. However, Li Ruo knew that in half a year, many people would flock to participate in the Mystic Sect's disciple selection competition, with numerous talented youths of extraordinary strength, and Li Ruo's current abilities were still insufficient.

  The more medicine he takes, the better.

  He walked quickly towards the stone path, and a bloody smell suddenly came over, Li Ran's heart skipped a beat, seeing not far away under the mountain cliff, a snake corpse of more than one zhang long was bloodily overturned and curled up there.

  "Who killed such a big python?"

  Li Ran Dao cautiously looked around, the surrounding terrain was in plain sight, except for the towering cliff that pierced the clouds, there was no place for anyone to hide, he put his mind at ease and quickly walked over, when he got closer, he couldn't help but take a cold breath.

  This giant python was nearly three zhang long and as thick as a bucket, its belly had been cut open by some sharp blade, revealing a deep pit the size of a goose egg in the snake's abdomen.

  Li Ruo raised his head and looked up at the mountain, only to see that the rocks in the clouds were in disarray, with many of them shattered. It was clear that a fierce battle had taken place there.

  Li Ran sighed.

  Giant pythons have always liked to guard the strong energy of alien grass, and spiritual snakes live with alien grass. Spiritual snakes can borrow the heavenly spirit of the alien grass to cultivate.

  Such a powerful spiritual snake was killed, it must have been defeated by a strong cultivator who went to the top of the mountain and collected that rare grass, then cut open the snake's belly and took out the demon dan from its abdomen.

  "Could it be that a cultivator from the Heavenly Movement period has arrived here?"

  Li Ran's knife was quietly contemplative, his hand gently stroking the giant python's scales, hard as steel. His heart was filled with melancholy.

  Such a large spirit snake, in the valley for many years of cultivation, its demon pill must be quite high-grade.

  Thinking of the demon pill, Li Ran's throat swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

  The demon core condensed the essence of a spiritual beast's countless years of cultivation, which could be used as medicine and also for refining elixirs. For Li Ruo Dao, if such a demon core fell into his hands, he could use it to do many things. Under sufficient conditions, one demon core could allow Li Ruo Dao to extract energy even more powerful than spiritual medicine.

  If Li Ran could also obtain the demon pill, with time, the power of Jingyuan's five layers would be within sight.

  Li Ruo Knife stood up with a sense of loss, walked through the One Line Sky Stone Path, and quickly swept towards the inner valley. He felt a little anxious in his heart, the desire for strength growth, the desire for Ling Yao's demon pill, made Li Ruo Knife feel that he had to speed up his actions in the Misty Valley.

  Entering the inner valley, the fog is thicker, and the mountains and forests are even more lush.

  Li Ran Dao plunged into the forest, not going in the right direction, but instead hastily turning to one side. He wanted to avoid the path that others had taken so that he might have a chance of finding what he was looking for.

  I don't know how far I've gone in, the ancient trees are getting more and more vigorous, while the distance between adjacent ancient trees is getting bigger and bigger. The forest looks more empty, and the silence in the forest makes people feel a little nervous.

  Just then, a strange beast let out a loud roar, causing the leaves to quiver and shattering the silence. Li Ran's eyes lit up in an instant when he heard this.

  "Huh, is it a spirit beast?"

  Li Ran's heart was stirred, he clenched his fists tightly, and he didn't know what kind of spiritual beast's cry it was, but it sounded like it was still in a very distant place.

  He sprang up and ran at top speed in the direction of the cry.

  Passing through one ancient tree after another, Li Rou did not know how far he had gone in, but felt that the earth was shaking, and the lowing calls were even louder.

  Hurriedly passing through a vast expanse of open land, then turning past the shelter of several ancient trees, what appeared before his eyes made Li Ran's knife pause in an instant.

  Among ancient trees, seven people with flashing knives and swords, joined forces to attack a strange beast.

  Li Ran's gaze was fixed intently on the strange beast, seeing that this spiritual beast resembled a water buffalo, with legs as thick as a man's height, robust and powerful physique, jet-black fur, and a sharp horn growing on its forehead. At this moment, the beast's eyes were bright red, and it was fiercely clashing with the seven people in one place, its body covered in countless bloody wounds, letting out a long, mournful cry.

  Those seven men were already exhausted, panting and gasping for breath, but their swords became even more ferocious and sharp, each strike having the power to shatter rocks, making it impossible for that strange beast to break through.

  "Is it Iron Beast?"

  Li Ran's eyes lit up as he recognized this spirit beast, a creature from legend that fed on minerals and grew by absorbing the essence of the minerals.

  Legend has it that the demonic pellet of the Iron Beast is mainly gold in nature. As far as Li Ruo Dao knows, there are several powerful spiritual pellets that require this attribute of demonic pellet as a supporting ingredient. More importantly, among the packages behind Li Ruo Dao, there are already some auxiliary medicines that can allow Li Ruo Dao to extract the energy from this demonic pellet for his own use.

  Li Ruo's heart was burning slowly.
