Slaughter! Twenty Beast Flames!

Slaughter! Twenty Beast Flames!

Moreover, Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy contained the Heavenly Flame known as the Falling Heart Flame.

Although Wang Chen did not need a Heavenly Flame, he still wanted to see whether the Falling Heart Flame could accelerate his cultivation.

If it could not, then he would not care.

But if it could, then he would not yield it to Huohuo.

Although he did not possess the Flame Mantra, subduing just one Heavenly Flame would not be a problem.

It was precisely because of these thoughts that Wang Chen wanted to enter the Inner Academy sooner.

With his strength, he could get by perfectly well in the Inner Academy anyway.

Perhaps he could even establish a faction and recruit some talent.

Even though this was a cultivation world where great power rested in the hands of individuals, having more capable people was still a good thing.

After all, it was impossible for the boss to personally handle every trivial matter that came up.

In any case, Wang Chen had the capital to recruit talent.

Making more friends could not hurt.

If he ever needed to find some special medicinal ingredient, one more friend meant one more avenue.

Besides, once his strength increased, he intended to make a name for himself in the Central Plains as well.

There were members of Central Plains clans within the Inner Academy.

That would also be of some help to Wang Chen in understanding the Central Plains.

At the very least, it would allow him to find a foothold where he could develop during the early stages.

Since it concerned his future development path, Wang Chen naturally did not want to waste time.

That was why he needed to head to Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy as soon as possible.

Therefore, he could not remain in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for too long.

He could only be more precise and search for the magical beasts he needed.

As for those overly weak magical beasts, he would avoid fighting them whenever possible.

If combat could not be avoided, then he would finish it as quickly as possible.

That was the goal Wang Chen had set for himself.

Once Wang Chen began searching carefully, the number of magical beasts he encountered increased rapidly.

However, most of them were First- or Second-Order Magical Beasts, with little value to speak of.

Over half a day of searching, he had encountered only five Third-Order Magical Beasts.

Among them, only one possessed Beast Flame.

Fortunately, that was still fairly good.

At least he had gotten off to a good start in half a day.

A Tier 3 Beast Flame barely met Wang Chen's minimum standard.

He did not dislike it too much and directly strengthened and absorbed it, increasing his own combat power.

After devouring the Beast Flame, Wang Chen continued his search.

With Wang Chen's abilities, he began frantically combing through the area.

He spared all the low-level magical beasts.

Of course, that was only if those low-level magical beasts were not guarding any valuable medicinal ingredients.

If they possessed medicinal ingredients Wang Chen needed, he would not mind making a move.

But Third- and Fourth-Order Magical Beasts were entirely different.

The moment he encountered one, Wang Chen would not show mercy.

After all, Third-Order Magical Beasts already had considerable value.

They were usually guarding special medicinal ingredients.

And Third-Order Magical Beasts themselves were worth quite a bit of money.

As a diligent and thrifty transmigrator, Wang Chen naturally could not let them go.

With his strength, Third-Order Magical Beasts were basically killed in a single strike.

As a result, his battles were overwhelmingly one-sided and did not waste much time at all.

Even when he encountered Fourth-Order Magical Beasts, most could not delay him for long.

After all, Wang Chen was a Dou Ling, and a special Dou Ling with a Golden Finger.

If he could not swiftly kill even a Fourth-Order Magical Beast, would that not be a disservice to the strength he had worked so hard to cultivate?

For Wang Chen, the most time-consuming part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range was actually traveling and searching.

After all, the Magical Beast Mountain Range covered an enormous area.

And the region Wang Chen had entered was an uninhabited central area.

There were no records whatsoever, so he could only search on his own.

Fortunately, Wang Chen's soul perception was quite good. Otherwise, forget finding magical beasts—simply not getting lost in this region would have been impressive.

Time passed little by little, and Wang Chen had already spent fifteen days searching this region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

During those fifteen days, Wang Chen had searched carefully every day.

He had slain nearly a hundred Third-Order Magical Beasts.

Even Fourth-Order Magical Beasts numbered close to ten.

Unfortunately, he had collected only eight Beast Flames.

The drop rate truly was not very high.

Fortunately, two of them were Four-Rank Beast Flames, which was some consolation.

During those fifteen days, Wang Chen searched during the day, then found a safe place to hide at night.

He cultivated the Soul Cultivation Technique to speed up his Golden Finger's upgrade, cultivated Dou Qi to recover and increase his strength, and refined some of the medicinal ingredients he had gathered into Medicinal Pills.

Naturally, he also carefully marked every area he passed through on his map.

It could be said that Wang Chen packed every day full, without wasting a single moment.

The result of all that effort was that he had finished exploring the area he had originally planned to cover.

Now, Wang Chen had begun exploring outward.

This area was no longer close to the region divided by Jia Nan Academy, and its danger level had increased greatly.

At any moment, a Fifth-Order Magical Beast might suddenly leap out. That was entirely possible.

Of course, the increased danger also brought corresponding benefits.

The quality of the magical beasts had also improved considerably.

Compared to an area of the same size from before, he could find at least two more Third-Order Magical Beasts here. That was no small improvement.

It meant that Wang Chen's chances of obtaining suitable Beast Flames had greatly increased.

Naturally, because of the increased danger, Wang Chen investigated more carefully than before.

This reduced his exploration speed somewhat compared to before.

But relatively speaking, this region was still more efficient.

Under Wang Chen's cautious exploration, another ten days passed.

Although the area Wang Chen explored in those ten days was smaller than during the previous fifteen, his gains were much greater.

Not to mention the various Magic Cores and special medicinal ingredients, in terms of Beast Flames alone, those ten days surpassed the previous fifteen.

Over those ten days, he obtained a full twelve Beast Flames.

And among them were four Four-Rank Beast Flames.

Whether in quantity or quality, they completely surpassed the relatively safe region from before.

Sure enough, high rewards required high risks.

Over these twenty-five days, Wang Chen had collected more than twenty Beast Flames in total.

That was more than he had collected throughout all his previous time combined.

After devouring and refining more than twenty Beast Flames, Wang Chen's cultivation technique finally underwent growth and evolution.

It directly evolved from Mystic-Tier High-Level to Mystic-Tier Peak.

This also enhanced the quality of Wang Chen's Dou Qi to a certain extent.

Against opponents at the same level, his combat power had increased by at least thirty percent compared to before.

And that was not even all of Wang Chen's gains.
