Chapter 31: Sneak Attack
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the depths of the secret realm, Zhou Yun stopped after killing another spiritual beast. As he continued to kill spiritual beasts, his sword intent and sword technique also became more and more mature.
Now, he felt that he was invincible among those below the foundation establishment stage. He could even trade one for one above the foundation establishment stage.
At the thought of this, Zhou Yun was a little eager to try. He wanted to fight with a true foundation establishment stage powerhouse and test the results of his sword technique.
Of course, the most important thing was still Qiao’er. There were dangers in the entire secret realm. Although Qiao’er’s cultivation level was high, she lacked offensive means. It was still dangerous for her to walk alone in this secret realm.
However, after walking for such a long time, he had not met anyone. Zhou Yun was a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, although everyone was scattered in various areas, they should have met each other sooner or later because they were all wandering around. However, they had not seen a single person yet.
“Could it be that I’m so lucky that the inner sect disciples can’t find me? Or is the direction I’m going in wrong and I’m getting further away from them?”
Thinking of this, Zhou Yun shook his head and focused his attention on the Spirit-cleansing Liquid he was collecting.
In this short while, he had already killed more than a dozen spiritual beasts. After each spiritual beast died, they would leave behind a drop of Spirit-cleansing Liquid that was like a glass ball. Now, he had more than a dozen drops in his hands.
This spiritual liquid should be able to increase his strength by a certain amount. This way, when he encountered those inner sect disciples later, his chances of winning would be greater.
“I wonder what this Spirit-cleansing Liquid will taste like?”
Zhou Yun stared at the transparent liquid in his hand and felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation. Qiao’er had said that the Spirit-cleansing Liquid had the effect of purifying one’s spiritual energy and strengthening one’s foundation. He wondered if that was true.
According to Qiao’er, the spiritual Qi of this era was much thinner than it was a thousand years ago, and there were more impurities in it. When immortal cultivators absorbed spiritual Qi, they would also absorb these impurities along with the spiritual Qi. The longer the time, the more difficult it was for the cultivator to cultivate, and the slower the improvement.
It was like a car. If gasoline mixed with sediment was added for a long time, the car would be far inferior to a car that had pure gasoline added for a long time in terms of speed and engine wear and tear.
The Spirit-cleansing Liquid was used as a tool to clean the fuel tank of a car.
As Zhou Yun thought about it, he placed the Spirit-cleansing Liquid in his hand into his mouth.
As the Spirit-cleansing Liquid entered his mouth, a cool and refreshing feeling spread from his mouth. In an instant, Zhou Yun felt a portion of the spirit energy within his body being drawn out. This portion was very small, almost negligible. However, Zhou Yun felt that he was a little stronger than before.
“What was being stripped just now, was it the impurities in the spiritual energy? I didn’t think that it could actually purify spiritual energy!”
When he found out that it could really purify and improve the quality of his spiritual force, his eyes instantly lit up and he stared at the other spiritual beasts nearby.
The spiritual liquid he had just taken had purified a part of the spiritual power in his body. As long as he had enough spiritual power, he could completely purify the spiritual power in his body and improve his foundation strength, just like the people a thousand years ago.
This way, the more he cultivated, the more obvious his advantage of having pure spiritual energy became.
Then, Zhou Yun shook his head. “There aren’t many spiritual beasts nearby. Even if we kill them all, the purification effect will be minimal.”
Moreover, although the Spirit-cleansing Liquid had a purifying effect on him, the effect was too small. If he were to kill the spirit beast just for this, it would not be worth it.
The dozen or so drops of spirit illusory liquid he had absorbed just now had only brought him a little change, which was almost negligible.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yun had a headache.
The current amount of spiritual purifying liquid was not enough to purify the whole body and improve one’s aptitude. If he wanted to change, he would need a large amount of spiritual purifying liquid. He only got one drop of spiritual illusionary night from killing each spiritual beast, and the amount he needed was at least enough to fill a bathtub.
“But if that’s the case, we’ll have to kill more spiritual beasts. The deeper we go into the secret realm, the higher the level of the spiritual beasts. Now, some foundation establishment spiritual beasts have appeared, and these spiritual beasts are much more difficult to deal with than those in the Qi cultivation stage.”
At this moment, Zhou Yun suddenly recalled something.
These spiritual beasts would usually only wander around one area, but the further east one went, the more concentrated the spiritual beasts would be.
After realizing this pattern, Zhou Yun immediately thought of a possibility.
“Could it be in the East is where their base camp is? The bigger the base, the more opportunities there are. Danger and opportunities often co-exist.”
After realizing this problem, Zhou Yun’s eyes immediately lit up.
In order to verify his suspicions, he ignored the nearby spiritual beasts and walked toward the East of the trial grounds.
At this moment, in the East of the secret realm, a tall young man in green was walking slowly in the forest.
His name was Fang Ping, and he had just entered the foundation establishment stage. Among the inner sect disciples of the spirit heart Valley, his strength was below average.
He had long received a notice when he was outside the secret realm. After entering the secret realm, he had to keep heading east and finally gather near a Spirit-cleansing Pond.
However, since everyone’s location was random when they entered the secret realm, and he just happened to be teleported to the west side of the secret realm. That was why he had not arrived yet.
“I’ve already entered the eastern side of the secret realm. We shouldn’t be far from the Spirit-cleansing Liquid pool.” Fang Ping walked carefully, trying not to wake up any of the spiritual beasts.
At this moment, he suddenly heard some movement. He, who was already careful, immediately hid and concealed his aura.
Not long after, Zhou Yun’s figure appeared nearby.
At this time, his figure was a little disheveled. Just now, in order to verify his thoughts, he had attracted a lot of spiritual beasts, and he had spent a lot of effort to get rid of them.
Fortunately, these spiritual beasts had their own territorial awareness. After Zhou Yun left their territory, they stopped chasing him.
“It seems like my guess was right. The spiritual beasts here are getting more and more concentrated, and they are also getting stronger,” Zhou Yun said as he walked. At this moment, he suddenly stopped and hid himself.
He found that there was another gathering place of spiritual beasts not far ahead. This group of spiritual beasts was even more concentrated than the ones he had encountered before.
“With such a dense gathering of spiritual beasts, could it be the main camp? I heard from Qiao’er that there’s a clear spirit pond in the base, but I wonder if there’s one. ”
Zhou Yun’s face was filled with surprise.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, and he instinctively rolled to the side to avoid it.
“My friend, why did you attack me when we have no enmity?”
Zhou Yun looked at Fang Ping in front of him, his face full of displeasure.
