The next day, early morning,
Jiang Liu didn't rest all night because it was his first time Soul Refining Technique, and his mental strength increased so much that he felt extremely excited.
Although I've only practiced the Soul Technique for an hour, I'm already close to mastering it (360/460). With this kind of efficiency every day, won't I reach perfection soon?
Jiang Liu was overthinking it. This Soul Technique was only effective so quickly because it was the first time he was practicing it. It became increasingly difficult to cultivate as one progressed. Otherwise, the people of Soul Valley would have long been on par with the Three Sects.
Jiang Liu stood up and looked around. Although this was a good place to Soul Refining techniques, it was too strange. Not a blade of grass grew here, and there was no breakfast to be found. Helpless, he randomly chose a direction and left.
Jiang Liu flew for seven or eight miles without finding anything edible. Since entering the Ten Thousand Mountains, he had been eating either Seventh Grade- or eighth-grade Exotic Beast every day. His palate had become picky, and he could no longer stomach Exotic Beast Meat of lower grades.
Although the enhancement wasn't very obvious, Jiang Liu could always feel that only high-grade Exotic Beast Meat could continue to forge his body.
Jiang Liu spotted a large grove of low trees in the distance. Jiang Liu had never seen such a large, dense grove of trees since entering the Ten Thousand Mountains, and he approached it with great curiosity.
There was a grove of trees—no, it should be an orchard—with fruit trees that weren't very tall, only slightly taller than the Jiang Liu. The branches were laden with fruit, but the fruit was dry and flat, as if it were malnourished.
Jiang Liu casually picked one and took a bite; immediately, a sour and astringent taste filled his mouth.
"Pooh!"
Jiang Liu looked at the orchard in front of him, his eyes filled with regret. He had originally wanted to try something different.
The Jiang Liu quickened its pace, trying to pass through the orchard. Suddenly, among these low-lying fruit trees, a different kind of fruit tree appeared. How was it different?
It's not that it's tall or anything different, it's just that at first glance, it gives people a feeling of vitality, with dense branches and leaves.
Jiang Liu quickly stepped forward and looked up. He saw that the fruit tree only had one fruit on it, and it was located just below the top of the tree, so small that it was almost invisible unless you looked very closely.
Jiang Liu leaped up, picked the fruit, and examined it. The fruit must have weighed over a pound; it was crystal clear and tempting to take a bite. He wiped it off casually and took a bite.
Juice overflowed, and a rich fruity aroma filled his mouth. He swallowed it in one gulp, and immediately a surge of vital energy burst forth from the fruit. Jiang Liu quickly sat down cross-legged and circulated his inner energy.
It took a while to completely refine that primordial energy. Looking at the panel, the primordial energy storage had increased by more than 150. This bite of fruit pulp contained more primordial energy than one day's worth of primordial energy refined through daily meditation and cultivation.
Jiang Liu's eyes lit up as he looked at the remaining fruit pulp. This was much better than beast cores. It was a pity there was only one. If he could have more, he could reach the eighth rank very quickly. Jiang Liu couldn't help but think greedily.
Finally, Jiang Liu refined all the fruit pulp. Seeing that his Yuan Qi reserves had increased by more than a thousand, he felt a surge of joy. He thought of the Frigid Yin Fruit in his bag, wondering if it would have the same effect.
However, my strength increased a bit too quickly after refining this fruit today, so I'll refine it again in a couple of days! As for the Celestial Star Grass, Jiang Liu plans to keep it since he doesn't know if it has any other uses.
Before leaving, Jiang Liu took one last look at the orchard. Such fine fruit trees, how often would they bear fruit? You must know that even at the Grandmaster level, martial artists still cultivate Yuan Qi, only the amount of Yuan Qi they can store is incomparable to that of Ranked Martial Practitioner.
The most important thing is that consciousness has evolved into Divine Sense. Few martial artists can withstand the pressure of a single Divine Sense. However, we'll have to test it on a freak like Jiang Liu to find out.
Jiang Liu walked for a while, and then an eagle with a wingspan of more than a meter, pure black feathers, sharp claws, and a beak that gleamed with an eerie light appeared in the sky above.
Fluttering its giant wings, the eagle flew towards the special fruit tree. As soon as it approached, the eagle let out a scream. It flew back into the air, its eyes wide open, surveying the area before finally choosing a direction and flying over it.
The Jiang Liu through a grove of low trees, and the towering trees that had been familiar before reappeared before. With a flash, it leaped onto a tree and skillfully hopped from tree to tree.
After advancing for a while, Jiang Liu encountered a fifth-grade Exotic Beast. He glanced at it casually, ignored it, and continued forward. Now, the fifth-grade Exotic Beast core could only provide a small amount of vital energy for cultivation, so there was no need to waste time on it.
After careful searching, they finally discovered a Seventh Grade Exotic Beast, a monkey-like Exotic Beast.
However, it looked different from the other monkey- Exotic Beast I had seen before. Its fur was fiery red, its eyes were very lively, and its back was bulging, as if it were carrying something. It was also thinner and smaller than ordinary monkeys.
Jiang Liu, intrigued, drew his broadsword and slashed at the monkey, which dodged to the side with a shriek.
Jiang Liu suddenly felt a buzzing in his head, as if he had been pricked by a sharp thorn. He felt dizzy for a moment, but then his mind cleared up immediately. It seemed that the Soul Technique was taking effect.
This monkey can use mental attacks? Jiang Liu's expression immediately turned serious.
Jiang Liu's consciousness dispersed, and he condensed an Ice Blade in his left hand. With his right hand, Demon Suppression Blade Technique, Suppressing Demons into Imprisonment. The blade light enveloped the monkey, shoving it into the ground.
The monkey dodged to the left, let out a shriek, and swung its right hand, unleashing a burst of fire-attribute energy towards Jiang Liu.
Hey! Not only can it use mental attacks, but it can also use energy attacks! This monkey is really something else! Jiang Liu was amazed.
Jiang Liu dodged the attack, flicked his left-hand Ice Blade forward, and "whoosh!" "bang!" The Ice Blade melted before it even pierced the monkey's body, and the Essence Particles inside exploded!
This time, Jiang Liu was not only surprised, but also filled with interest.
