Hunting Demonic Beasts

Hearing the corpse's words, Song Wen felt a slight disappointment.

He had initially thought the rotting corpse held some great secret, but it turned out to be nothing more than a ghost cultivation Cultivation Method.

Holding the Black Frost Blade, Song Wen approached the rotting corpse and slashed out with his blade.

The rotting corpse had lost control of the Origin-Returning Sha Qi and its head was severed with a single blow.

Song Wen gently beckoned to the head, and the head flew into the air and was captured in Song Wen's hand.

The rotting corpse's soul felt a powerful suction force pulling it toward Song Wen's Sea of Consciousness.

A bad feeling rose in his heart, and he hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Fellow Daoist, I am Peak Golden Core Stage cultivator from the inner sect of Limitless Island. I know many secrets of Limitless Island and am familiar with many of Limitless Island Secret Method. Keeping me around will be of great use to you."

"Grandpa? You're not qualified."

Song Wen said something the other person couldn't understand at all.

Then, the corpse's soul was devoured by Song Wen and disappeared from this world forever.

Song Wen searched the entire rotting corpse and finally found a stone bottle inside its abdomen, exactly the same as the one that had exploded earlier.

However, this stone bottle contains the Origin-Returning Sha Qi.

The amount of Sha Qi inside this bottle is enormous; the rotting corpse had only mobilized a small portion of it previously.

The rotting corpse must have gone to great lengths to obtain this bottle of Origin-Returning Sha Qi Evil Energy. Originally, it wanted to enhance its self-defense capabilities, but unexpectedly, it brought about its own demise.

The affairs of this world are unpredictable; every sip and bite is a matter of fortune and misfortune, and they are truly intertwined.

Song Wen took out the stone bottle, and after a simple refining process, activated the bottle to collect all the Sha Qi within the formation.

Besides the stone bottle, Song Wen also found a storage ring inside the corpse's belly.

The storage ring contained some spiritual materials from the Ghost Dao and two Jade Slips.

The materials for cultivating the Ghost Dao are worth approximately several hundred thousand Spirit Stones, including four Netherworld Stones, which were likely prepared by the rotting corpse for cultivating the Ghost Dao.

The two Jade Slips contained Ghost Dao Cultivation Method called the "Profound Nether Canon," which contained a complete Cultivation Method from the initial ghost level to the fourth-level ghost emperor. Such a complete Ghost Dao Cultivation Method was not common.

What truly surprised Song Wen was another Jade Slip, which contained his Alchemy Jade Slip. It turned out that the corpse had actually been an Alchemist in his previous life.

After burning the rotting corpse to ashes, Song Wen turned and left the tomb.

On his way back to Extreme Yin Island, Song Wen made a detour to Limitless Island to buy some spirit medicine needed for Alchemy, as well as some daily necessities.

The daily necessities were prepared for the two sisters, An Tong and An Yin. Since they had been kept around, it was necessary to use some methods to win them over.

The two women were overjoyed when they received these everyday items.

"Thank you very much, senior." The two women said with great joy.

"No need to thank me. Thanks to you all, I was able to obtain the Origin-Returning Sha Qi. I also have some unused pills here, which I'll give you as well."

Song Wen threw over a dozen jade bottles.

"Congratulations, Senior, on obtaining the Origin-Returning Sha Qi. We sisters will definitely cultivate diligently and will not let you down."

"Remember, keep an eye on the <Starline Formation>."

After saying this, Song Wen vanished without a trace.

In the days that followed, Song Wen spent his time in ascetic practice.

When he cultivated the Corpse King Reincarnation Art, he replaced ordinary Corpse-Baleful Qi with Origin-Returning Sha Qi. As his cultivation improved, the Origin-Returning Sha Qi was gradually refined into his body.

The refining speed of the Origin-Returning Sha Qi was much slower than he had expected.

Song Wen estimated that at his current cultivation speed, it would take him at least twenty or thirty years to completely refine all the Origin-Returning Sha Qi.

Every month, he would dedicate ten days to refining various third-tier pills.

Most of these pills were sold to Chu Qian, while some were used to complete missions for the Mission Hall.

He can earn about ten thousand Spirit Stones a month by relying on elixirs.

This left him in a situation where he couldn't make ends meet.

After all, the contribution required by the island each year is worth 100,000 Spirit Stones.

Gradually, he and Chu Qian became acquainted.

In Chu Qian, Song Wen's use of the island was a complete waste of its resources.

Other Golden Core cultivators who occupy Heavenly-level islands will recruit a large number of people and develop various industries on the islands.

For example, planting spirit medicine herbs and trees, or refining corpses, evil spirits, or blood.

Peng Guang had initially considered serving Song Wen.

Song Wen was used to cultivating alone and had no intention of recruiting a large number of subordinates. Therefore, he did not heed Chu Qian's advice to set up businesses on the island.

If it weren't for the relative scarcity of Alchemists among demonic cultivators, making pills more profitable, Song Wen would probably have had to live on a sub-level island.

One year later.

Song Wen obtained a Blood Jade Coral from Chu Qian.

This 500-year-old Blood Jade Coral is half a zhang tall, and its entire body is blood red like jade. It is enough to make Corpse Curse Water for Song Wen to use for several years.

With the Blood Jade Coral, Song Wen had gathered all the necessary spirit medicine for the Corpse Curse Water, giving him another way to enhance his physical strength. However, this also meant he would incur another expense.

During this year, Song Wen purchased a large amount of Dragon-Pattern Grass through several channels, including Chu Qian, markets, and mission halls, and all five Sacred Beetle Gu advanced to the third rank.

This drastically reduced the number of Spirit Stones he possessed, leaving him with only a little over a hundred Superior Spirit Stones.

Song Wen realized that he had to find a way to earn Spirit Stones as soon as possible, otherwise he would eventually run out of resources.

I learned from Chu Qian that the easiest way to earn Spirit Stones on Limitless Island is to hunt Demon Beasts, especially third-tier Demon Beasts, which are treasures from head to toe.

The demon cores, flesh, Essence Blood, and souls of third-tier Demon Beasts, as well as their hides, claws, scales, and other precious materials that can be used to forge Law Treasure, can all fetch extremely high prices.

The value of an ordinary third-tier Demon Beast corpse ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones, while some extremely rare Demon Beast corpses can even fetch a sky-high price of hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones.

However, hunting Demon Beast is extremely dangerous, and the tracks of third-tier Demon Beast are hard to find; they are not easy to locate.

However, this also provided Song Wen with an idea for earning Spirit Stones.

Tier 3 Demon Beast are hard to find, but there are quite a few Tier 2 Demon Beast in the deep sea.

He has six third-tier Gu Worms; if he doesn't make good use of them, wouldn't it be a waste?

The Shadow Gu is a flying type of Gu Worm, not good at water combat, but it is still no problem to deal with second-tier aquatic Demon Beast.

Therefore, Song Wen decided that he could no longer let the Shadow Gu eat for free every day.

The Shadow Gu burrowed into the sea and searched for underwater Demon Beast in the waters near Extreme Yin Island.

Under Song Wen's orders, the Shadow Gu did not damage the physical bodies of the Demon Beasts. Instead, it would enter the Demon Beasts ' bodies through Demon Beast mouths, devour their brains, and kill them, thus preserving the Demon Beasts ' Essence Blood and corpses to the greatest extent possible.

Song Wen only needs to sit in his cave abode to continuously obtain the complete corpses of second-tier Demon Beasts. The only waste is that the souls of these Demon Beasts have mostly dissipated.

The price of a second-tier Demon Beast Demon Beast's corpse is far lower than that of a third-tier Demon Beast, but a single one can still sell for one or two thousand Spirit Stones, Essence Blood can sell for three to five hundred Spirit Stones.

The Shadow Gu hunts aquatic Demon Beast and earns Spirit Stones much faster than Song Wen Alchemy pills.

However, this situation did not last long.
