Treasure Hunting

He casually found an inn to stay in, washed up a little, then sat cross-legged and began cultivating. It was already night, and he planned to enter the Magical Beast Mountain Range tomorrow to train.

The night passed in a hurry. Su Yun straightened his clothes and opened the system.

"System, transmit Yao Chen's experience regarding medicinal herbs, cultivation, and tempering to me."

"Ding, organizing Yao Chen's memories."

"Ding, organization complete."

"Ding, transmitting."

Medicine Elder's memories were enormous. Even with some selection, Su Yun still spent two hours before he finished digesting them.

Su Yun got up and loosened his muscles, then walked toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

After the system's transmission, it was as if he had taken Medicine Elder's place and experienced the course of Medicine Elder's life.

His overall grasp had also reached sixty to seventy percent, which gave him a little more confidence for his trip into the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Arriving at the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Su Yun drew in a deep breath.

This time was different from cultivating in Wutan City. Countless people had lost their lives in this Magical Beast Mountain Range. No matter how confident he was, he was still nervous.

In the end, he was only an ordinary person who had transmigrated from an age of peace. Faced with the threat of life and death, how could he not hesitate?

Su Yun adjusted his mindset and stepped into the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Without trials, how could there be growth!

Cultivation knew no time; a traveler counted no years.

On the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, a figure draped in a black robe and holding a longsword leaped across trees and rocks.

The figure seemed to discover something. His speed rose, and the longsword swept out in a horizontal slash from a tricky angle.

"Pfft!"

The sword sank into flesh and bone.

A Flame Leopard resting in the forest let out a wail, struggled for a while, then stopped moving.

Su Yun pulled the longsword free, stored the Flame Leopard in the System Space, looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then with a thought, entered it as well.

"Finally finished gathering everything."

After entering the System Space, Su Yun took off his black robe, joy showing on his face.

He drew out the Flame Leopard's blood, took out all kinds of herbs, as well as the blood of other Fire Attribute Magical Beasts.

Then he took out the medicinal cauldron, and Su Yun began refining.

Since entering this Magical Beast Mountain Range, cultivating Dou Qi and practicing Dou Techniques, more than seven months had already passed.

He had also learned alchemy during these seven months.

With Medicine Elder's memories instilled in him, learning alchemy was much easier for him than for others.

With Medicine Elder's memories as a foundation, he only needed a little practice to become a First Grade Alchemist. As for higher grades, due to the limitations of his Dou Qi cultivation, he could only stop there for the time being.

What he was refining now was a First Grade Pill called Flame Blood.

This Flame Blood was made from several different fire-attribute medicinal herbs and the blood of two first-tier fire-attribute Magical Beasts. It could speed up the cultivation of fire-attribute Dou Zhe.

This thing was a simplified version of Burning Blood. Burning Blood was a Fourth Grade Pill. When Xiao Yan came to Green Mountain Town for training, Medicine Elder had mentioned preparing it for Xiao Yan to speed up his cultivation.

He did not have such good conditions, with an old grandpa backing him up. Even the system's Fusion Function was too expensive to use. After all, a Fourth Grade Pill required a Fourth Tier Magic Core. He could only use a simplified version like Flame Blood.

His Fennel Cold Art cultivated both fire and ice, and when only running fire-attribute Dou Techniques, it was also effective.

This thing was rather special. It was said to be a pill, but in truth, it was not. It was a "pill liquid."

It was roughly the same principle as Foundation Establishment Spiritual Liquid.

This was already his third time refining it. Naturally, he was very familiar with the process, and finished refining it in half an hour.

After smearing Flame Blood over his body, Su Yun let out a hissing cry of pain.

This damn thing really was not something a human could endure.

He sat cross-legged and began cultivating.

After cultivating for a night, Su Yun left the System Space and once again appeared in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

In the seven months he had cultivated here, he had never entered the inner parts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

He could not be blamed for that. The Magical Beasts that could appear inside were at least third or fourth tier.

With his current little body, he would not even be enough to get stuck between their teeth.

Even when he ran into second-tier Magical Beasts on the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he had to hide inside the System Space.

After seven months of cultivation, even with his talent and the aid of Flame Blood, he had only reached five-star Dou Zhe.

Dou Qi cultivation was the foundation.

In seven months, with the Fennel Cold Art comparable to Mysterious Tier Low Grade, plus the Mysterious Tier Dou Techniques he had chosen to study,

it was not difficult for him to face seven- or eight-star Dou Zhe. But against a second-tier Magical Beast, which was equivalent to a Dou Shi, that would be rough.

"It's time to go to that cave." The heat in Su Yun's eyes was almost undisguised.

Putting everything else aside, just that Mysterious Rank High Grade Purple Cloud Wings was already extremely precious.

Even Medicine Elder did not have a Flying Dou Technique, and its refining method had nearly been lost in the current Douqi Continent.

Those Purple Cloud Wings had been taken from the Fifth-Tier Magical Beast, the Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagle.

According to the original work's description, the owner of the cave had spent three years capturing it.

From that, it could be seen that his strength should also have been at the Dou Wang level. In the Jia Ma Empire, he would have been among the top group.

Moreover, the era he lived in should also have been quite distant.

It was only a pity that he had not passed down the refining method.

Su Yun thought greedily, still unsatisfied.

With Green Mountain Town as a supply point, he had trained in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for more than a month. The description in the original work was also very clear, and Su Yun had long since figured out the cave's location.

Arriving atop the cliff, Su Yun's shadow appeared and vanished under the moonlight.

Matters like treasure hunting still had to be handled carefully. Compared with daytime, there were indeed fewer mercenaries in the Magical Beast Mountain Range at night.

Taking out several Medicine Pouches from the System Space, Su Yun scattered them over the cliff, then his figure flashed and returned to the System Space.

As a Peak Dou Venerate expert, Medicine Elder had abundant training experience. The contents of these Medicine Pouches had been prepared according to Medicine Elder's memories.

They could drive away weaker snake-type Magical Beasts. Su Yun was familiar with the original work, so he naturally would not overlook the Rock Snakes at the cave entrance.

"Hiss..."

Not long after Su Yun scattered the medicinal powder and entered the System Space, the hissing of snakes came from below the cliff.

Afterward, over a dozen Rock Snakes shot into the air and flew into the distance.

With a thought, Su Yun once again appeared atop the cliff. No longer hesitating, he took out a rope, tied it to a tree, and climbed down the cliff.

The Rock Snakes had already been driven away, and the process of reaching the cave was very smooth.

A moment later, Su Yun landed at the cave.

He came to the stone door, searched around a little, then reached out and pressed the small protrusion beneath the stone door down slightly.

A creaking sound rang out. The stone door gradually moved upward.

If he had not wanted to avoid making any noise, Su Yun would have laughed wildly a few times to show his excitement.

Entering the cave dwelling, he stored the Gold Coins on the ground in the System Space.

Then he looked toward those medicinal herbs, among them the grass leaves in the center that alternated between white and red.

Over these seven months, he had gradually absorbed Medicine Elder's memories, and he had long since committed the parts concerning medicinal herbs to heart.

Even without the system's scan, Su Yun knew the name of this medicinal herb.

Ice Spirit Flame Grass!

The grass leaves were divided into white and red. On the white branches, there were specks of ice-crystal-like objects, while atop the fiery-red crown, it was like a ball of flame was burning. Two completely opposite colors and attributes strangely grew on a single plant.

After storing all the medicinal herbs in the System Space, Su Yun walked toward the three boxes.

"Thud!"

"Mm! Someone's here..."
