Under normal circumstances, this bear demon Zhao Siyao cannot be killed alone.
If not restrained multiple times, this bear has rough skin and thick flesh, and is extremely powerful. The stones thrown can penetrate the body-protecting air shield in the foundation-building stage.
It can also soar into the air relatively quickly and let out a sonic roar.
With the assistance of Lu Changan and the Earth Rock Rat, he was killed relatively easily.
The loot is quite rich. Bear skins, bear bones, bear bile, monster cores, and monster blood are all good second-level materials.
"This bear demon is of upper-middle grade bloodline. The demon core is impure and the evil spirit is too strong."
Unfortunately, the bear demon does not meet the requirements for a special demon core.
The special demon core that replaces the Xuanling Fruit must at least start with a high-grade bloodline, and the demon core attributes must be pure and neutral.
Lu Changan didn't expect that the first second-level monster he killed would meet the requirements.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, I only want the bear skin and bear fairy blood, and you take the rest."
Lu Changan took the initiative to give up the majority.
"Yeah." Zhao Siyao did not give in.
It's not that Lu Changan didn't contribute enough and could only take the small head. This was to pave the way for the follow-up.
The second-level monsters that meet the requirements are stronger and require Zhao Siyao to resist the pressure head-on.
By then, the extremely valuable special demon core will be returned to Lu Changan.
The two did not elaborate on this point in advance, but they had a certain tacit understanding at this time.
…
Whizzing!
The two were dividing the spoils, and in the distance there was the mana aura from the foundation building stage, flying over at low altitude.
Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao looked alert and stood up to take precautions.
In the Black Mist Mountains, the danger of monsters is only part of the story.
Every year, countless monks die not from monsters, but from their own kind.
Lu Changan made the rock rats hide underground in response.
After a few breaths.
In the light gray mist, two foundation-building monks, a man and a woman, flew in from low altitude.
A prosperous middle-aged man wearing a big cloak, with a bright forehead and a mid-stage foundation-building cultivation.
A woman in a skirt, elegant and quiet, full of charm, with early foundation building skills.
"You two fellow Taoists, are you monks from the Qingzhu Sect?"
Zhao Siyao turned her beautiful eyes and saw a banana leaf magic weapon at the feet of the woman in the skirt.
She showed a pale golden token.
"It turns out to be the foundation-building Taoist fellow from Jinyun Valley."
The wealthy middle-aged man glanced at the corpse of the bear demon on the ground, smiled warmly, and his eyes fell on Zhao Siyao.
"Deacon of Qingzhumen, Chen Fuhai."
"The green bamboo gate, the flute reflects the snow."
The woman in the skirt had a soft voice and looked at the extremely beautiful Zhao Siyao.
The two foundation-building stagers ignored Lu Changan's Qi-refining stage, thinking that he was Zhao Siyao's junior or follower.
"Jinyun Valley, Zhao Siyao. This is my good friend, Lu Changan."
After the introductions were completed, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
In the world of immortality cultivation in Liang Kingdom, several major immortality cultivation sects are considered to be in the same circle, and they are superior to many immortality cultivation families.
According to Lu Changan's understanding, the immortal cultivating sects in the Liang Kingdom are generally neutral and lawful, at least openly observing the rules.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, can you sell the bear bile of that second-level bear demon to Chen? And that bear... Little brother Lu, you know."
Chen Fuhai smiled broadly and gave Lu Changan a suggestive look.
"If Fellow Daoist Chen needs it, he can sell it according to the market price of Huanglongxian City."
Zhao Siyao nodded, his face slightly flushed.
"It's easy to talk about."
Chen Fuhai took out a bag of spiritual stones and threw it to Zhao Siyao.
He originally hinted to Lu Changan to cut off the bear whip, but the latter had a slight mysophobia and ignored it.
We can't let Fairy Zhao do such dirty work.
Chen Fuhai had no choice but to do it himself, taking out two tonic medicines and putting them in a jade box for storage.
The deal was completed, and the foundation talks between the two sects were harmonious.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you should pay attention: there is a piece of land five hundred miles to the north, occupied by a late second-order scorpion-armored beast. This beast's bloodline is close to that of the earth, and its strength is terrifying."
Before leaving, Chen Fuhai revealed a piece of news.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chen, for reminding me."
Zhao Siyao's heart shivered and she thanked him.
The late second-order monsters are beyond the scope of ordinary foundation building to deal with.
In the Black Mist Mountains, the territory of monsters is not static. The location information of dangerous monsters is very important to human monks.
This information about Chen Fuhai can be regarded as selling a favor.
…
Two months later.
After killing the second-order bear monster that time, Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao cooperated with the rock rats to capture two more early-stage second-order monsters.
The parts and materials of these second-level monsters can be exchanged for a large amount of spiritual stones.
Such an achievement is very encouraging.
But half a month later, the two encountered some setbacks.
In the Black Mist Mountains, on an open-air boulder.
Zhao Siyao, dressed in a white dress, sat cross-legged and adjusted her breath. Her slightly pale face returned to a rosy color like a light cloud.
The temples are slightly messy, with a few strands of burnt black hair.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, are you okay?"
Lu Changan was protecting the law and two puppets were patrolling nearby.
"It's okay, it just consumes more mana."
Zhao Siyao opened her beautiful and clear eyes.
"Friend Daoist Lu, your decision is right. We don't need to fight that salamander head-on."
Not long ago, the two of them encountered a mid-level second-level salamander.
The fire lizard attacks fiercely and its fire spells are powerful.
Zhao Siyao and the Earth Rock Rat join forces and have a 50% to 60% chance of winning. With Lu Changan's assistance, they have a chance to win.
Lu Changan was unwilling to fight head-on and retreated while fighting. He threw two second-level water talismans to make the fire lizard give up the pursuit.
In that battle, the rock rat's fur was also burned.
"Although we can kill the fire lizard together, Daoyou Zhao and the rock rat may be injured. This is what I don't want to see."
Lu Changan analyzed rationally.
In the Black Mist Mountains, there are all kinds of monsters with strange abilities, as well as immortal cultivators with complex human nature.
It is best to stay in top condition at all times so that you can cope with unknown variables.
The important thing is that the demon core of the fire monster has violent attributes and is not suitable to replace the mysterious spirit fruit.
…
It’s the third month since I came to the Black Mist Mountains.
Lu Changan finally found clues to the special demon core.
In a forested canyon.
Squeak!
The rock rat came to Lu Changan with a piece of white scale skin in its mouth.
Lu Changan took the white scaly skin, the surface texture was like jade, and it felt cool and delicate to the touch.
Zhao Siyao took a look and pursed her lips and smiled:
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Lu! This should be the shed skin of the 'White Jade Python'."
The White Jade Python is a top-grade bloodline demon beast with pure demon core quality, neutral attributes, and no outstanding five elements.
As long as it reaches the second level, its demon core is suitable to replace the mysterious spirit fruit.
"It should be around here."
Lu Changan knew the art of tracking and cooperated with the rock rat to search in the canyon.
…
Half an hour later.
Between the vine-covered mountain walls, a hidden cave entrance was first discovered by the rock rat.
The rock rat looked fearful and lingered at the entrance of the cave, not daring to get close.
Snakes and pythons have natural restraint against rats.
Lu Changan felt happy that he could make the Earth Rock Rat fearful, at least the second-order white jade python.
"It's best to be a white jade python at the early stage of the second level."
Lu Changxin agreed.
If it is a mid-level second-level White Jade Python, its strength is similar to that of the previous Fire Lizard, which is barely acceptable.
As for the late second stage, Lu Changan turned around and ran away.
Looking at the previous shedding, the White Jade Python is either in the early stage of the second stage or in the middle stage.
"Friend Daoist Zhao, get ready."
Lu Changan stepped back some distance and let the heavily armored puppet stand in front of him.
The left hand secretly holds the second-level escape talisman.
With his right hand, a fiery snake about ten feet long entered the hidden cave.
After counting the interest.
The mountain wall shook slightly, the demonic power surged, and an angry "hissing" sound was heard.
Amidst the howling wind and sand, a giant python about six to seven feet long and completely crystal white rushed out of the cave.
Lu Changan felt reassured and took back the second-level escape talisman in his hand.
Good luck!
This white jade python is the peak of the early stage of the second level, which is equivalent to the third level of human foundation building.
It is in the breakthrough stage, so it sheds its scales.
Being interrupted from practicing, the white jade python was extremely angry, its dark green eyes flashed with cold light.
Boom!
The white jade python had just half of its body out of the cave when the surrounding rocks collapsed and dust flew up.
Lu Changan cast an approving look at the Earth Rock Rat.
Bang! Click!
The white jade python, like an earth dragon, turned over and smashed the rock into pieces, opening its bloody mouth.
Lu Changan activated a second-level talisman.
Suddenly, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply.
A whirlpool of nearly ten feet of freezing air, accompanied by hail, wind and snow all over the sky, bombarded the white jade python.
Second level low-grade talisman, Ice Roar!
A layer of snow-white frost formed on the body of the white jade python, its body movements appeared stiff, and large ulcers appeared on the scales on its abdomen.
Ice Roar has high lethality and stronger control.
The demonic power of the white jade python exploded, and white crystal patterns flashed wildly on its body. It struggled violently, and the frost condensed on the python's body shattered inch by inch.
"go!"
The "Iron Umbrella" controlled by Zhao Siyao turned into a sword form, passing through a sharp sword light, leaving a bloody mouth about a foot long on the python's body.
Bang! Bang!
The white jade python completely exploded, dragging out an afterimage from its tail, knocking the iron umbrella away, and falling with dim light.
At the same time, it spit out a dazzling white beam of light from its mouth, heading towards Zhao Siyao, who was the most threatening person.
Zhao Siyao lost control of his magical weapon, grunted, and hurriedly lifted up a transparent protective shield.
puff!
The dazzling white beam was so powerful that it instantly melted a hole in the shield.
Zhao Siyao scolded and held out a bronze mirror, which illuminated a deep blue light and engulfed the dazzling white beam.
When Zhao Siyao fought fiercely with the white jade python.
Lu Changan took out a charm plate and used magic power to activate it.
Bah!
Sixteen talismans flew out, flashing with lightning, weaving into a thunder and lightning formation, covering the white jade python.
