The next day, early in the morning,
Jiang Liu slowly woke up from his meditation.
A long howl came from Jiang Liu's mouth. He then got up, put the package on his back, and leaped to the top of a tree. He moved Elusive Shadows. In a flash, he was on another tree and continued to leap forward.
As Jiang Liu moved forward, he used his Divine Sense to explore his surroundings and soon saw two Exotic Beast doing morning exercises.
Jiang Liu ignored them and continued on his way. The main reason was that these two Exotic Beasts were not of a high level.
Jiang Liu then continued flying forward, and looking at the colorful lights, Jiang Liu suddenly felt an unusual sense of excitement.
Without paying attention to direction, he wandered aimlessly when suddenly a tiger's roar reached his ears. Jiang Liu listened carefully and flew towards the direction from which the roar came.
Soon they saw the Exotic Beast that had roared earlier. It turned out to be a Three-Eyed Flying Tiger with the strength of a Lesser Beast King hunting. What a coincidence! Last time they encountered that Three-Eyed Flying Tiger, it got away. This time, it wasn't so lucky.
Immediately, Jiang Liu released his mental pressure and enveloped the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger. The Three-Eyed Flying Tiger immediately became alert, put down the Exotic Beast Meat in its mouth, and let out a roar!
Jiang Liu was prepared. He calmed his mind, stabilized his spiritual sea, and used the Eight Steps of Trampling to take six steps in the direction of the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger.
An invisible pressure, a mixture of the body's vital energy and spiritual power, pressed down on the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger.
The Three-Eyed Flying Tiger roared repeatedly, but unfortunately, this mental attack was useless against Jiang Liu. Instead, the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger was unable to move due to the pressure from Jiang Liu's Eight Steps of Trampling.
With six quick steps, Jiang Liu was already close to the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger. He flicked his hands, sending two Ice Blade flying in two directions towards the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Two consecutive sounds of air being cut rang out as two Ice Blade pierced through the air, one plunging straight into the back of the three- Three-Eyed Flying Tiger and the other piercing its mouth.
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!" The Three-Eyed Flying Tiger roared three times in succession with all its might. Instantly, Jiang Liu felt that his mental sea was not very stable.
He quickly withdrew the Eight Steps of Trampling and retreated rapidly.
Three-Eyed Flying Tiger felt the pressure on his body ease and quickly got up to fly away, but his body swayed and he couldn't release his vital energy.
It turned out that the Ice Blade that Jiang Liu had shot into its body had taken effect, and in the end, the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger could only collapse to the ground unwillingly.
Jiang Liu waited a while longer before the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger finally fell completely silent.
Jiang Liu leaped forward, drew his broadsword, dissected the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger, and found the Exotic Beast's core inside its skull. He then put it away.
Then, with a leap, it flew into the air and sent a signal to the Frostwing Dragon. After waiting for a while, the Frostwing Dragon's huge body flew over from a distance.
The Frostwing Dragon flew closer, flapping its wings lightly, and sent a vague message to Jiang Liu, saying that it had made a discovery.
Jiang Liu fell to the ground, picked up the corpse of the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger, flew into the air, and placed it on the back of the Frostwing Dragon.
Then send a message to the Frostwing Dragon, asking it to lead the way to the location it discovered.
The Frostwing Dragon turned around, flapped its wings, and increased its speed, heading back in the direction it had come from.
Jiang Liu sat cross-legged on the back of the Frostwing Dragon, looking at the scenery below: from the forest to the grassland, the swamp, and finally to another mountain range.
Jiang Liu hadn't expected the Frostwing Dragon so far, and that he could still contact it via the mental imprint. Jiang Liu 'd tried before in Wind City, but couldn't contact the Frostwing Dragon from within the city.
It seems the Frostwing Dragon's mental power has increased. Could it be because of the mental imprint I planted? I should test the maximum contact distance of the mental imprint when I have time.
After reaching this mountain range, the Frostwing Dragon slowed down and flew straight towards a cliff.
The Frostwing Dragon landed on the cliff, Jiang Liu flew down, casually tossing the corpse of the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger in front of the Frostwing Dragon.
The Frostwing Dragon immediately opened its massive jaws and began to bite at the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger.
Jiang Liu ignored the Frostwing Dragon and instead looked around, wondering what the Frostwing Dragon meant by bringing him here.
Before long, Jiang Liu noticed something unusual. It turned out that the concentration of spiritual energy here was different. Jiang Liu used his inner cultivation technique to carefully sense it.
Jiang Liu immediately stood up, took a step off the cliff, and plummeted downwards. The Frostwing Dragon, however, paid no heed and continued to devour the Three-Eyed Flying Tiger's remains.
Jiang Liu's figure continued to descend, and the density of his vital energy increased.
Jiang Liu sensed that the spiritual energy was more concentrated on the other side of the cliff, so he flew towards that side, feeling more and more comfortable the closer he got.
Jiang Liu landed at the bottom of the cliff and immediately spread his Divine Sense to search the area. He found no living creatures around him and then headed towards the place with the most abundant spiritual energy.
Jiang Liu walked closer and saw a maze appear before him. He strained his eyes but still couldn't see what was inside.
Jiang Liu then stepped into the illusion, where he was met with a vast expanse of white. The Essence Particles around him flowed into his body without any guidance.
Jiang Liu quickly sat down cross-legged and began cultivating his inner energy, absorbing the surrounding Essence Particles.
Once the mental technique was activated, the surrounding Essence Particles immediately clumped together and surged towards the Jiang Liu, gradually creating a primordial Primal Qi Storm.
Jiang Liu didn't even have time to refine it before the Essence Particles surged into his meridians. Immediately, Jiang Liu felt a throbbing pain in his meridians. You should know that during normal cultivation, let alone the throbbing pain in the meridians, sometimes the Essence Particles couldn't even fill the meridians.
Jiang Liu could only forcibly guide the Essence Particles toward his Dantian, hoping to accelerate the process of refining the Essence Particles through the Dantian and accelerating the complete solidification of the Primal Qi Liquid.
When the Essence Particles enter the dantian, they are filtered through a layer, and then inexplicably decrease in quantity. Finally, they transform into liquid and naturally melt into the primordial energy solid at the very center of the dantian.
After this cycle continued for about half an hour, the storm of Essence Particles subsided slightly. Jiang Liu then focused on cultivating his inner energy technique.
Jiang Liu continued cultivating until nightfall before stopping. Feeling that the solidified Primal Qi Liquid had grown even larger, he felt utterly satisfied.
At this moment, the concentration of vital energy around him was about the same as usual. Jiang Liu stood up and walked towards the place emitting rich vital energy.
In front of them was a small pond about a meter square, with a bead spinning around on the surface of the water.
Jiang Liu reached out his hand toward the bead, and as soon as his hand touched the pool water, Jiang Liu sensed something was wrong. This was not water; it was a liquid formed from primordial energy.
Jiang Liu quickly activated his inner energy cultivation technique to directly absorb the Primal Qi Liquid into his dantian, without needing to refine it.
It wasn't until the moon was high in the sky that Jiang Liu finished absorbing all the Primal Qi Liquid. Looking at the beads on the dry grass, Jiang Liu scooped them up.
It feels warm and smooth to the touch, and the vital energy emanating from the bead is still as rich as ever. It seems that this is truly a rare treasure!
Afterwards, Jiang Liu looked around but found nothing else unusual. He didn't know where the bead came from.
This bead must have been here for a long time, which is why it formed a primordial energy lake, then a primordial energy mist, and finally drifted up the cliff.
Only then did the Frostwing Dragon sense it, and finally it fell into his hands. It was only after this discovery that Jiang Liu began to realize he was being treated like the protagonist.
Jiang Liu didn't want to miss the half-hour allotted for cultivating the Soul Technique, so he immediately began cultivating according to the method.
