He was only ten breaths away when a swarm of spiders consisting of Seven-colored Ghost-faced Spider Demon covering the sky and the sun surged in. Suddenly, they scattered in all directions. Not long after, they gathered in the air where the spider demon was dead. Then, the demon swarm let out a shrill howl.
The cry reached the ears of Xu Yi, who had escaped several miles away, and almost caused him to fall from the air.
With his senses fully exposed, he found a cave in the dense mountain forest and checked to see if there was any monster living there. Xu Yi held his breath and looked for it. He opened the dry wattle forest and saw a few strands of yellowing mane at the entrance of the cave. He guessed that this cave was the cave abode of a certain monster.
Come to think of it, all the monsters in the mountain were going to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress the human race, so he happened to take this place to hang out for a while.
The cave is nearly ten feet underground and covers an area of nearly half an acre. The damp ground is covered with countless stone scales, and soft grass is also used to pave the corner of the cave, which accounts for nearly half of the cave's area. This shows how huge this monster is.
Xu Yi took out a soft blanket, spread it on the ground, sat cross-legged on it, drank several ordinary Qi Replenishing Pill, ate two pieces of cooked meat, drank two bowls of water, and silently Still Water Art, his mind quickly became as calm as water.
After burning the incense, Xu Yi opened his eyes, and his mental and physical strength returned to peak condition.
He was not in a hurry to get out of the cave and began to think about the future and his way out.
Ordinarily, he is still in danger at the moment, and it is too early to think about the future.
However, he is well aware of the principle that "he who does not plan for the overall situation cannot plan for the moment." The boundary is about to appear, and he must find a piece of it no matter what.
According to what he heard from Marquis Anqing, the boundary sign is the key to stably passing through the dark mountains. The so-called dark mountains are space debris or passages.
If you get the boundary sign, the hidden mountain is not difficult to find. Follow the clues of Old Thief Liu, go all the way north, and you will definitely find something after a little trouble.
In the past, he was not in a hurry to leave this world, but after entering this Monster Hunting Valley, he truly felt the difference between the outside world and the Savage Wilderness place of Dayue.
This is Monster Hunting Valley, where the trial is held, and its spiritual energy is richer than he imagined.
Although his time here is still short, he has truly felt the benefits of spiritual energy nourishing the body.
If nothing else, just comparing the monsters here and those in the whole of Dai Viet, Sapience Stage monsters are already rare treasures in Dai Viet. He still remembers the body of Snake Demon that he captured at the beginning, but Upper Three-Rank Heavenly Demon of Early Enlightenment Stage can pay for millions of gold in the treasure fight for the auction license.
Compared to magic weapons, elixirs, and even formations, there is no doubt that the price of Demon Corpse is sky-high.
The reason why there is such a big difference is not because monsters are hard to find in Dayue, especially monsters that reach Sapience Stage are extremely rare.
The reason why it is difficult for monsters to gain wisdom is not because of the scarcity of spiritual energy, which shows the beauty of this spiritual energy.
In addition to spiritual energy nourishing the human body and the demon body, spiritual energy can also give birth to Precious Medicine and so on. In a word, spiritual energy means the fundamental resource for cultivation.
Compared to this place, Dai Viet is indeed Savage Wilderness.
Now that he has glimpsed the subtleties of the outside world, how can Xu Yi be willing to live in this world and waste his time.
Another big reason why he couldn't wait to leave this world was the Vengeful Embryo in his Qi Sea Realm. After many searches, he had basically concluded that this damn Vengeful Embryo was probably an unsolvable existence in this world.
Vengeful Embryo is here, his cultivation is basically locked, and the only hope is probably in the outside world.
As soon as he entered Monster Hunting Valley, his mood to connect to the outside world was stronger than ever before, and he even made up his mind to search for the hidden mountain with all his strength if he could get the boundary sign.
He is not a guy who likes to fight unprepared battles. Having experienced the edge of life and death many times, he understands the importance of trump cards and strength.
If you rush into the outside world, you may be like a toad that has been sitting in the well for a long time, and suddenly sees the sky. The reliance you thought you had before may not be able to achieve the desired results.
Therefore, he did not dare to think that the so-called Martial Arts cultivation base and the so-called various treasures could be relied upon to dominate the outside world.
The only strength, or the only thing that can be quickly converted into strength, is wealth.
When it comes to the outside world, what is wealth? He would not think of it as the golden tickets issued by the major forces in this world, but only in kind, such as magic weapons, elixirs, Precious Medicine, formations, treasure armor, Sumeru Ring, and even Demon Corpse.
As a guy with outstanding intelligence, Xu Yi quickly made a thorough evaluation of these physical wealth representatives, and quickly selected the ultimate wealth representative-Precious Medicine.
The so-called representative of ultimate wealth, in his understanding, is where the greatest value is brought from this world to the outside world.
To use the simplest analogy, all his wealth at this moment is converted into gold tickets worth 10 million gold.
If you want to go to the outside world, what kind of thing can these ten million gold be exchanged for that has the greatest value? In other words, what thing in this world can be exchanged for the greatest value in the outside world.
Only Precious Medicine.
The reason is very simple. Divine weapons, elixirs, formations, treasure armor, Sumeru Ring are all formed from raw materials under the processing of technology. What best reflects their value is not the raw materials, but the condensation of technology.
Just like elixirs, when broken down into fundamentals, they are just various Precious Medicines and the skills of refining Alchemists. Through the bonus of refining Alchemists skills, these Precious Medicines become existences that exceed their own value several times or even dozens of times.
And in the outside world, with the abundant aura of the outside world, you can imagine how prosperous Cultivation World must be.
The technology in this world is simply incomparable to the outside world. Bringing elixirs into the outside world will naturally cause a significant depreciation of the value of technology condensed into the value of elixirs.
In the same way, magical weapons, formations, Sumeru Ring, treasure armor, and other existences that condense technical components will undoubtedly be greatly devalued by the outside world.
Only raw materials like Precious Medicine will probably be scarce forever. After all, even if the spiritual energy is more abundant, Cultivation World will become bigger. Precious Medicine, which is needed by all cultivators, will naturally be scarce forever.
As for Demon Corpse, it can certainly be regarded as a kind of raw material, but due to its scarcity in Dai Viet, it has formed a super-high price market. Realizing Demon Corpse in Dai Viet and then bringing it back to the outside world as Precious Medicine will undoubtedly maximize profits.
Now that Precious Medicine has been determined to help him create wealth more quickly in the outside world, and then create strength, how could Xu Yi not stop thinking about it.
At this time, he was like a guy who knew that he was about to travel through time. The world where Dai Viet lived, and of course, this trial world, became a huge warehouse for him.
He just wants to stuff as much precious wealth as possible into his Sumeru Ring - Precious Medicine.
Precious Medicine, the world where Dai Viet is located, naturally has it, but it is limited to thin spiritual energy, and there are very few treasures.
Take the elixirs that are almost overflowing here. The outside world has not seen them for a long time. Xu Yi has participated in many auctions, and the level is considered to be extremely high.
However, Danguo was never seen once.
In other words, this trial world is not only a paradise for monsters, but also a resort for Precious Medicine. After all, no one has set foot in it for hundreds of years, so the accumulation must be rich.
