0It was impossible to return by the same route. No one knew if the sixth level Xumi Stage wolfman had returned. If Chen Qing had encountered him, then he would only be able to run for his life.

Therefore, there was only a road in front of him. He had to pass through the valley in front of him, climb over a few hills, and finally pass through a desolate mountain range. He was about to reach a safe zone.

After putting away the map, Cheng Qing walked into the valley.

By the clear river bank, Chen Qing washed his face and tidied up his personal hygiene. The blast from the explosion sent him tumbling down the hill, causing him to get covered in dust.

After crossing the river, they continued to move forward. Not long after, Cheng Qing encountered a fierce beast.

There were many wild beasts in the dense forests of the mountains. One of the lucky ones was born with an affinity with heaven and earth origin energy. He could absorb heaven and earth origin energy for his own use, thus he could evolve into a vicious beast.

According to legends, there were animals with heaven-defying luck that were born with an intelligence root that could absorb the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. After painstakingly cultivating, their wisdom would be broadened and they could take on human forms. This kind of animal was called a demon.

The beast in front of Cheng Qing was a six feet long black-furred cat. Its eyes were dark green, and its fingernails were over a foot long. As soon as it appeared, it bared its fangs at Cheng Qing and pounced on him like a bolt of lightning.

With a wave of the Heaven Lake Sword, Cheng Qing placed the black fur in front of him. This was just a low-level Zong Stage fierce beast, it was not a threat to Cheng Qing.

After that, Cheng Qing continued on his way. On the way, he met many vicious beasts, most of which were in the skyrocketing realm, with quite a few in the Xumi Realm.

When encountering these berserk beasts, as long as it wasn't something he couldn't beat with a single glance, Cheng Qing would usually start attacking with his sword. Sometimes, he would even put away his Heaven Lake Sword and engage in close combat with the Vicious Beasts.

In the intense battle, Cheng Qing's vitality was being consumed quickly. Every time a fierce battle ended, he would enter Nine Phoenix City to cultivate and quickly recover. After that, he would come out to continue fighting.

Of course, injuries couldn't be avoided, but Chen Qing had the Nine Phoenix City Medicine King Valley, so he wasn't afraid of getting hurt.

Continuously battling and tempering not only allowed his battle skill to improve once more, but also tempered his muscles and bones.

As the battle progressed, Cheng Qing's cultivation speed also increased.

Initially, he still needed some time before he could advance to the second level of the Xumi Stage. However, after returning to Qi Lianshan, he first hunted the wolfwalker, and now he was constantly battling fierce beasts. He was only a step away from the second level of the Xumi Stage.

Early one morning, Cheng Qing climbed to the top of the mountain and looked into the distance.

In front of him was a barren mountain that spanned for hundreds of miles. It was gently rolling up and down. There was basically no forest, only small shrubs and weeds. Even under the morning sunlight, it seemed desolate and lonely.

Going down this mountain would mean leaving the forest deep in the mountains. That would also mean that the chance to encounter a berserk beast would fall in a straight line.

But Cheng Qing didn't want to stay any longer. Even if he had a steady stream of spiritual medicines, he wouldn't be able to keep fighting with the beasts. Once the training exceeded the limit, it would be a burden to the body, causing permanent damage. Thus, after training, one would need to rest for a period of time.

Cheng Qing found a cove and set up a simple trap around the area. He then started to meditate and cultivate. Today was the day he would break through to the second level of the Xumi Stage. He planned to leave the forest after his advancement and enter the desolate mountain range.

As the Nine Phoenix City on his palm lit up, Cheng Qing entered the city. This time, he went straight to Pill King Valley.

Pill King Valley was still the same, no different from when Cheng Qing and Zhao E Mei came in.

In the valley, there were a lot of colorful medicinal fields. Any of the medicinal herbs that grew there could be sold at an astronomical price in Spirit Martial County.
