Hunting Demon Beasts!

Dongfang Bai and his sister, Dongfang Rou, dared to join forces to hunt Demon Beasts, so Ye Chen, Lin Ye's eldest disciple, naturally dared to do the same. He was already close to breaking through to the Body Tempering Ninth Layer, and he cultivated an upper-grade Mystic-rank body tempering technique. His body was incomparably powerful. As long as he didn't encounter a second-tier Demon Beast, he feared them all. Even if he encountered an ordinary second-tier Demon Beast and couldn't beat it, he could still escape!

And so, Ye Chen, Dongfang Bai, and Dongfang Rou all set out to hunt Demon Beasts right away.

"Hunt Demon Beasts?" Han Bing was interested too, but he had yet to master a single offensive martial art. He had spent all his time cultivating. Relying on his bronze body and his Body Tempering Third Layer cultivation, he figured he could defeat an ordinary mid-stage first-tier Demon Beast.

Just then, he ran into his fourth senior brother, Yang Yang.

"Fourth Senior Brother, are you going hunting for Demon Beasts too?" Han Bing walked over.

"Yes. You're going too, Fifth Junior Brother? Then shall we go together?" Yang Yang invited him.

"Sure!"

Han Bing nodded quickly. He really had no combat experience, but his fourth senior brother was different. He had long known that Yang Yang often hunted wild beasts and might even have killed Demon Beasts before. His combat experience was bound to be considerable, so following him would surely let Han Bing hunt down more Demon Beasts.

Just like that, all five of Lin Ye's disciples went off to hunt Demon Beasts.

Lin Ye wasn't worried about their safety. Even if they ran into danger, they could use their identity tokens to call for help. They were only hunting Demon Beasts in the nearby mountains, and with his speed, he could easily reach them in time to rescue them. If they really couldn't hold out long enough to call for help, then that was their fate.

He had taken disciples, not a job as a nanny. They would also go out to gain experience in the future and encounter dangers; he couldn't protect them forever.

Ten li from the Black-Yellow Sect lay the desolate Western Mystic Mountain Range. Towering ancient trees, wild beasts, and Demon Beasts could be found everywhere, but the Demon Beasts each had their own territory and rarely charged into human lands. Even so, Demon Beasts still invaded human towns every few years.

By now, Lin Ye's five disciples had arrived one after another. Only here was it easy to find Demon Beasts.

"That's a mid-stage first-tier Frenzied Pig Demon Beast, Fifth Junior Brother. You cultivate the Supreme Yin Body Refining Technique, and you've even developed a bronze body, so your defense is very high. Hold off the Frenzied Pig Demon Beast's attacks at the front and create an opening for me to attack," Yang Yang instructed.

"Ah, well..."

Han Bing understood now. So his fourth senior brother had teamed up with him to use him as a shield!

"All right!"

Han Bing gritted his teeth and agreed. Then he stepped forward and directly provoked the Frenzied Pig Demon Beast, making a series of gestures and movements. Sure enough, he enraged it, and it charged straight at him.

"Bronze Body!"

A bronze glow radiated from Han Bing's body, which also became much harder. He summoned all his strength to match himself against the Frenzied Pig Demon Beast.

Boom!!!

The Frenzied Pig Demon Beast slammed into Han Bing, driving him back several steps, but he held firm. He soon felt that the beast's strength was nothing special after all.

Little did he know that the Corpse Zombie Body Tempering Technique he cultivated was powerful to begin with, and the corpse zombie body it forged was naturally beyond the reach of ordinary Demon Beasts. Even though his cultivation was slightly lower, it was enough to match the Frenzied Pig Demon Beast.

At that moment, Yang Yang sat astride the Frenzied Pig Demon Beast and knocked it flat with one punch. Then he rained down punch after punch, beating it to death.

After killing the Frenzied Pig Demon Beast, Yang Yang was in a fine mood. "Fifty points in the bag, Fifth Junior Brother. We'll split them evenly."

"All right."

Han Bing nodded.

Yang Yang then stored the Demon Beast's corpse in his Storage Bag and continued searching for a second Demon Beast.

Lin Ye had been keeping an eye on his sect master's identity token. None of his five disciples had called for help, which pleased him greatly.

As evening gradually approached, the five disciples returned one after another and submitted their missions. Each disciple had killed at least three Demon Beasts on average. Most of their time had been spent searching for Demon Beasts; otherwise, they would have killed more than that.

The disciples handed in the Demon Beasts in exchange for points, then went back to bathe and sleep.

Lin Ye took the Demon Beasts' corpses and went to the Devil Spring.

He tossed all the corpses into the Devil Spring, then took out ten Spirit Stones and threw them into its formation, activating the spring.

Hum!

A multitude of blood-red formation markings appeared on the black stones around the Devil Spring. The formation began drawing water from the earth veins and devoured all the Demon Beast corpses, turning them into scarlet Devil Spring water.

Gradually, the Devil Spring water grew more and more scarlet.

"It worked. This Devil Spring water is enough for the disciples to cultivate for a few days, but there still aren't enough Demon Beast corpses. They'll need a large enough supply to keep cultivating."

He could hunt Demon Beasts himself, but he couldn't be bothered. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he naturally preferred to stay in the sect. Wasn't it comfortable to have his junior sister massage him every day?

The disciples could take care of all the fighting and killing.

"Once the disciples have grown stronger, I'll bring out the Illusory Devil Cave." Lin Ye turned and returned to the sect master's hall, then went back to his bedroom to sleep.

Early the next morning.

The disciples were preparing to continue hunting Demon Beasts when Lin Ye stopped them.

"My disciples, don't go hunting Demon Beasts today. Come here."

Lin Ye brought all of them to the Devil Spring.

"What is this?" the disciples asked in confusion.

Lin Ye explained, "This is the Pure Yang Blood Spring. It uses the flesh and blood of Demon Beasts, extracting their essence to help martial artists temper their bodies. If you cultivate in it, it can help you quickly temper your bodies and break through realms. It's many times faster than painstaking cultivation under normal circumstances."

"The Pure Yang Blood Spring! So that's why you had us hunt Demon Beasts, Master!" The disciples were overjoyed.

"Mm, but using the Pure Yang Blood Spring costs ten points a day,"

Lin Ye said.

It was only ten points, so the disciples didn't mind. They had earned quite a few points yesterday. Each of them produced ten points, then they leaped into the Devil Spring and prepared to cultivate.

Yang Yang immediately circulated the Taotie Swallowing Devil Cultivation Method, intending to devour the Devil Spring water, but Lin Ye stopped him. "Yang Yang, you're not allowed to use your Cultivation Method to devour it. You can only temper your body the normal way. Otherwise, you'll swallow all the spring water, and your fellow disciples won't be able to cultivate."

"All right!"

Yang Yang nodded helplessly.

"Aaah!"

Ye Chen screamed in pain, sounding utterly miserable, but the other disciples paid him no mind. When they had first joined the sect, they had thought something had gone wrong with their eldest senior brother's cultivation. Only later had they learned that he was one tough man. He cultivated Pain Dao-Body Forging, a process of incomparable agony that could be called the pain of the ten great tortures.

At this moment, Ye Chen was circulating Pain Dao-Body Forging to absorb the Devil Spring water. He absorbed it so efficiently that he was in several times more pain than when he normally cultivated, making him unable to keep from screaming.

The other disciples entered a state of cultivation one by one. Lin Ye was very satisfied. After this session, perhaps all of them would make breakthroughs, and with the tenfold feedback, his own cultivation would probably increase tremendously!
