If he relied on resources to advance his cultivation, it would be far too wasteful. Jiang Chen's situation was different from that of ordinary cultivators—the amount of spiritual energy he needed to advance was simply too great.

Although he consumed a lot of resources, Jiang Chen's strength far surpassed that of others at the same level.

Even the geniuses of the same level from some Great Sects were not necessarily Jiang Chen's match, despite his low birth.

Advancing by devouring the power of blood qi was more convenient, and it also saved resources.

Now that Jiang Chen's cultivation had risen, advancing to the Martial Master Realm, Eighth Level would require even more resources. Jiang Chen did not want to spend so many resources on himself. After all, the quantity was simply too great. If he continued advancing through resources, Jiang Chen would not be able to withstand such enormous consumption.

After all, he had only managed to build up his fortune with great difficulty. He could not use it all up in one go.

Jiang Chen moved the rocks blocking the cave entrance aside, then walked out.

Jiang Chen discovered that the Dragon King Secret Realm was quite vast. At the very least, after entering, he had not seen any other cultivators, even though three hundred people had entered.

Jiang Chen's figure flashed rapidly. He no longer suppressed his cultivation, and the aura of the Martial Master Realm, Seventh Level spread out, creating a tremendous deterrent to some demonic beasts.

After all, if demonic beasts discovered that their opponent was too powerful, they would not attack.

Low-level demonic beasts might not possess much intelligence, but they were not fools.

Jiang Chen ran swiftly when he suddenly heard the sounds of fighting from nearby.

"Someone?" Jiang Chen thought.

He had been inside for some time, yet this was the first time he had discovered anyone. Perhaps it was not a person?

It might even be a battle between demonic beasts.

Along the way, Jiang Chen had also slain several second-tier demonic beasts.

The materials from these demonic beasts were quite valuable, and Jiang Chen needed the power of blood qi. Although the power of blood qi from second-tier demonic beasts was of little use to him now,

even the leg of a mosquito was still meat. He could not waste it.

As the saying went, small gains accumulated into great wealth.

When Jiang Chen arrived nearby, he happened to see two geniuses of the Martial Master Realm, Seventh Level fighting each other.

Not far away stood a fourth-tier spirit herb: the Star Soul Grass.

The Star Soul Grass could increase a person's soul power and reduce the likelihood of a cultivator entering a demonic state.

This kind of spirit herb was extremely rare. Although it was only fourth-tier, its price outside reached an astonishing twenty thousand spirit stones per stalk.

That was right—twenty thousand spirit stones. Many Martial Master Realm experts might not even possess twenty thousand spirit stones as their entire fortune.

It was clear how tempting the Star Soul Grass was to the two people before him, who possessed only Martial Artist Realm cultivation.

As the saying went, people died for wealth just as birds died for food. Wasn't the purpose of everyone entering this place to obtain more resources and opportunities?

It was perfectly normal for the two to fight.

The two had originally been teammates. When they met, they had decided to join forces.

But after discovering the Star Soul Grass, they immediately turned on each other.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen sneered. He flashed rapidly toward the Star Soul Grass.

With a sweep of his hand, he directly took the Star Soul Grass into his possession.

Jiang Chen's appearance also startled the two people who were fighting.

When they saw that Jiang Chen had taken advantage of the opportunity to steal the Star Soul Grass, they immediately flew into a rage.

"Damn it! The two of us were fighting here, and some brat actually made a move from the shadows and stole our Star Soul Grass."

"Damn it, you're courting death! How dare you steal our things?" one of them shouted furiously.

The two tacitly stopped fighting and charged straight at Jiang Chen.

Now that the Star Soul Grass had been taken by Jiang Chen, what reason did they have to keep fighting each other?

"Today, I'm going to kill you!" the other person also shouted furiously.

"Soul Luo Sword Art."

"Nine Yang Fist."

The two unleashed their martial techniques one after another and charged straight at Jiang Chen.

"Hmph. Such trifling skills, and you think they can kill me? How naive." Jiang Chen sneered.

Both of them were at the Martial Artist Realm, Seventh Level. In Jiang Chen's eyes, they were pathetically weak.

Jiang Chen still had not released his full aura, so the two did not know that he had already reached the Martial Master Realm.

They only saw Jiang Chen unleash the Eight Desolations Palm, and a powerful aura erupted.

"Not good! He's actually a Martial Master Realm expert!" The two men's expressions changed.

But by then, they had already unleashed their martial techniques and could not withdraw them. It was too late to turn around and flee.

Before entering, they had carefully memorized the Martial Master Realm geniuses who had appeared.

But Jiang Chen had not been a Martial Master Realm expert, had he?

Before entering, Jiang Chen had suppressed his cultivation to the Martial Artist Realm, Tenth Level.

In the eyes of the many geniuses, as long as someone was not at the Martial Master Realm, they would not pay much attention to them.

Now that a Martial Master Realm genius had suddenly appeared, how could the two not be shocked?

The Eight Desolations Palm sent two palm shadows crashing directly into the two men's martial techniques, breaking them apart.

Then the palm shadows continued forward without losing momentum and struck the two men.

"Pfft."

"Pfft."

The two suffered heavy blows and spat out large mouthfuls of blood before being blasted away.

They slammed heavily into rocks dozens of meters away, then collapsed limply.

By then, the two had already lost all signs of life.

Jiang Chen had not held back at all. Dealing with two opponents at the Martial Artist Realm, Seventh Level was far too easy for him.

After killing the two, Jiang Chen felt no guilt whatsoever.

If Jiang Chen's strength had been insufficient, he would have been the one to die.

He had taken the Star Soul Grass, and these two men had been trying to kill him.

"Overestimating yourselves." Jiang Chen looked at the two corpses and snorted coldly.

Then he took the two men's spoils, absorbed the power of blood qi, and left directly.

Fights like this could break out at any time in the Dragon King Secret Realm.

Everyone fought tooth and nail to seize resources.

Here, strength was supreme. The weak could not even control their own lives.

It could be said that entering the Dragon King Secret Realm was like entering a miniature cultivation world.

In the Dragon King Secret Realm, many people did not even know whose hands they had died by.

Killing was tacitly permitted.

Jiang Chen continued forward in search of new opportunities. His speed was quite fast, and he actually found three more fourth-tier spirit herbs.

The combined value of the three was no lower than that of the Star Soul Grass.

"Dragon King Secret Realm—truly worthy of being a secret realm. In just over a day, I've already gained so much. It's practically faster than the Lineage earning spirit stones through business." Jiang Chen sighed.

Including the materials from the demonic beasts, the materials and spirit herbs Jiang Chen had obtained were worth at least fifty thousand spirit stones.

Moreover, killing the two geniuses at the Martial Artist Realm, Seventh Level had also brought him an additional gain.

The sky was about to darken. Left with no choice, Jiang Chen found a safe place and hid himself.

Night was when demonic beasts were most active. Moreover, his vision was limited in the darkness, and he might not notice some shadowy places. If a dangerous demonic beast launched a sneak attack, he would be at a considerable disadvantage.

Therefore, Jiang Chen would not venture out lightly at night.
