The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 026
Chapter 026 Hunting Activities (4)
The powerful strength of the Snow Ape made many demonic beasts feel threatened. They finally began to work together.
A Demonic Tiger pounced over and ambushed the Snow Ape from behind. Its claws landed on the Snow Ape’s back. Another giant snake rushed out from the front, opened its mouth and bit on the snow ape’s foot…
One demonic beast after another rushed forward and attacked the Snow Ape.
There were simply too many demonic beasts. Although the Snow Ape was the strongest and fought with all its might, it was difficult to defeat four hands with just one punch.
Its entire body was bathed in blood and it was extremely tenacious. It killed several powerful demonic beasts, but in the end, it was unable to withstand the attacks of the group of beasts and fell unwillingly.
After killing the snow apes, the battle did not stop. They began to kill each other and compete for the fruit of victory. A fierce battle between demonic beasts had begun. The scene was bloody, with limbs flying everywhere. It was extremely tragic.
After an unknown amount of time, in the end, only one demonic beast remained, and it became the final winner.
This was a demonic beast that looked a little like an alligator. Its entire body looked like it was made of azure gold, and it carried a cold metallic luster. It was twelve to thirteen meters long, with dense scales and a horn on its head.
This was the Azure Scaled Crocodile. Its defense was extremely strong, so it was able to survive until the end. However, its current appearance was extremely miserable. In this battle, it had won tragically. Many scales had fallen off, and its flesh was bloody.
It struggled to crawl towards the Clear Spirit Flower, its eyes flashing with longing.
“Mantis is catching cicadas. The yellow sparrow is behind us. It’s time to go out.” Li Qing and Liu Ke’er walked out of the shadows.
Liu Ke’er is very proud: “These demonic beasts are really stupid, how can they be as smart as us humans?”
Li Qing was speechless. Looking at her appearance, he muttered in his heart. “Why do you suddenly feel that you are a little sinister …”
The azure-scaled crocodile saw the two humans, and a trace of astonishment flashed through its eyes. Then, it suddenly accelerated and charged towards the Clear Spirit Flower.
Li Qing took a step forward and used the Eight Desolates Movement Technique. With a flash, he arrived in front of it and slashed out with his saber.
The Azure Scaled Crocodile didn’t dodge at all and directly rushed towards the Clear Spirit Flower regardless. Perhaps it felt that its defenses were strong enough to withstand this strike.
However, it was obviously wrong, because this saber was not an ordinary saber, but a heavenly saber that was invincible.
The Heavenly Saber directly broke through the hard scales on the Azure Scaled Crocodile’s body and slashed it in half.
The Azure Scaled Crocodile let out an unwilling cry of sorrow. It did not die immediately. Its vitality was extremely tenacious, and its upper body could still move. It struggled with all its might, and even opened its huge mouth to bite Li Qing.
Li Qing slashed out another knife and directly broke open its head, killing it.
With the death of the last demonic beast, the battle finally ended. The ground was filled with the corpses of demonic beasts, and the remains of their limbs were everywhere, extremely tragic.
“I’m rich!” Liu Ke’er immediately shouted out, extremely happy. These demonic beast corpses are all useful materials. How many demonic beast inner cores and materials do you have in front of you?
Of course, the main harvest was the Cleansing Spirit Flower!
Their eyes lit up as they looked at the Clear Spirit Flower. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the flower emitted a charming light.
Too beautiful!
Li Qing involuntarily walked forward and reached out to gently pick the flowers.
The plant instantly withered and turned into ashes. He knew that every Clear Spirit Flower Tree could only bear one flower in its lifetime. It only bloomed for half a day, and its life was short and gorgeous.
“Come, half of us.” Li Qing gave half to Liu Ke’er. The Clear Spirit Flower had a total of twenty-four petals, and each of them had twelve petals.
“Find a safe place and take it immediately.”
The Cleansing Spirit Flower could not be preserved for a long time, so it had to be consumed immediately. Otherwise, the life essence contained within it would quickly dissipate and wither very quickly.
The two of them immediately found a comfortable and safe place to sit cross-legged and then swallowed the petals.
The petals immediately transformed into a clear stream and merged into his body. Li Qing began to circulate the Eight Desolate Demon Subduing Technique to refine this pure spiritual energy.
“Rumble!”
His cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds. He had consumed twelve petals in a row, and the effect was extremely remarkable. He had actually directly broken through to the eighth level of the Houtian realm!
Liu Ke’er was even more formidable. It was as if she had opened the door and died. She had directly cultivated to the peak of the Houtian ninth layer. She was only one step away from reaching the Houtian Great Perfection stage.
In fact, although the Clear Spirit Flower Petal contained rich spiritual energy that could increase one’s cultivation, this was only its smallest function.
Its main function is to detoxify, can detoxify most of the toxins during death. After consuming it, one would be able to obtain a Spirit Cleansing Body and be immune to most poisons in the world. Apart from some peerless poisons, they could be considered invulnerable to all poisons.
“It feels so good.” After Liu Ke’er finished cultivating, she stretched and felt refreshed. She looked at Li Qing with a smile and felt that she had been too happy with him during this period of time.
“Let’s go.” Li Qing also finished cultivating and stood up. It’s getting late, it’s time to go back.
…
Because there were too many corpses of demonic beasts this time, they could only bring them back with their spatial rings and did not carry them through the streets.
After they returned to the camp, everyone raised their heads and looked over.
“Look, the two of them didn’t get anything today.” These people were gloating when they saw that they were empty-handed today.
“Looks like they were lucky a few days ago. Today, they finally revealed their true colors.” Someone sneered.
“I told you, they are indeed deceivers. Their strength is about the same as ours. How can they kill demonic beasts as easily as they kill chickens?”
Liu Ke’er’s ears were sharp, and when she heard these words, she was extremely displeased. She didn’t want anyone to underestimate Li Qing anymore, so she immediately took out the Snow Ape’s corpse from her interspatial ring.
With a “rumble”, the giant beast fell to the ground and shook.
‘”Uh, this” Everyone was stunned and a little embarrassed. They didn’t expect that she would actually put the demonic beast in her spatial ring, causing a fuss. Everyone was not too surprised that Liu Ke’er had a spatial ring, because her backstage was too hard. It would be strange if she didn’t have a spatial ring.
“This is a Snow Ape! It’s a natural mutant! It’s comparable to a Houtian Great Perfection Realm expert!” Someone recognized this kind of demonic beast and was shocked!
“It can’t be!” Everyone was dumbfounded.
“Humph!” Liu Ke’er raised her head high like a proud swan. Li Qing smiled bitterly at the side.
“Speaking of which, she has a spatial ring. Then why did she carry it back a few days ago?” Someone reacted and asked this question.
“Yeah, I didn’t think of that until you said it.”
“Why else? Isn’t it just showing off?”
“What a naughty girl. We were all tricked by her, haha.” They laughed dryly.
…
Liu Ke’er put away the Snow Ape and kept it when she saw that it was good. She did not continue to show off and followed Li Qing to find her grandfather.
“Eh? Why have you become so strong? There’s still a strange fragrance.” Elder Liu’s eyesight was so strong that he could tell the changes in the two of them at a glance.
“Grandfather, we found a Clear Spirit Flower today.” Liu Ke’er was very happy and told Elder Liu what had happened today.
“Good, good. You guys are really lucky to be able to find such a heavenly treasure.” Elder Liu was very gratified and laughed happily.
Liu Ke’er seemed to have thought of something and suddenly patted her forehead and said, “Aiya, why did I forget about Grandpa? If I had known earlier, I would have brought some petals back for you to eat.”
“It doesn’t matter. Li Qing’s method is correct. The Clear Spirit Flower must be eaten immediately after picking it. If there is no special jade box to preserve it, it will wither very quickly. Besides, the Clear Spirit Flower is no longer of much use to me. It doesn’t matter whether I eat it or not.”
Xiantian experts could already be considered invulnerable to all poisons, so they didn’t really need the Cleansing Spirit Flower.
“Right, Li Qing.” Elder Liu turned around and said, “I heard that someone picked a Blood Essence Fruit today. You can contact that person and see if you can exchange it.”
“Blood Primordial Fruit!” Li Qing’s eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.
How could he not know about the Blood Essence Fruit? His father’s death had a lot to do with the Blood Origin Fruit, so he was naturally deeply impressed by this strange fruit.
It seemed that they weren’t the only ones who had good luck. Other people could also find heavenly materials and earth treasures.
The Blood Primordial Fruit was extremely precious. It was a sacred fruit of a body refiner, and could greatly increase the strength of the body. However, this item was not only useless to Qi Practitioners, it was also extremely harmful. Because a Qi Practitioner did not cultivate his physical body, if he consumed the Blood Essence Fruit, he would definitely not be able to absorb the energy within it, and his body would explode to death.
This was also the reason why Elder Liu had asked Li Qing to exchange for the Blood Essence Fruit, because he knew that Li Qing also cultivated the Body Technique.
Li Qing couldn’t wait any longer and left in a hurry. After inquiring all the way, he finally found the person who had picked the Blood Essence Fruit.
He walked forward and calmed down his excitement. He politely asked, “Excuse me, did you pick the Blood Primordial Fruit?”
“Li Qing! It’s you!” The man was shocked and recognized him. Li Qing could be considered a celebrity here. Many people knew him.
“That’s right, the Blood Essence Fruit is in my hands. What do you want?” He asked vigilantly.
“I want to exchange for this Blood Essence Fruit. May I know if I can exchange it?” Li Qing straightforwardly stated his purpose.
“What price do you plan to exchange?” The man refused to comment. The Blood Primordial Fruit was a heavenly treasure and was extremely precious. However, it was worthless for a Qi Practitioner to be unable to consume it. If Li Qing needed it, he would naturally be happy to sell it.
“Can you take out the Blood Essence Fruit and take a look first?”
“Alright.” He took out a box from the bag and opened it. A blood red fruit appeared in front of him.
“Indeed, it is the Blood Primordial Fruit!” Li Qing’s eyes lit up. The darker the color of the Blood Essence Fruit, the longer the age it represented, and the better the effect. The Blood Primordial Fruit in front of him was red and purple. It was evident that it had been around for hundreds of years.
“I’ll take this. Give me a price.” Li Qing was very direct.
The man hesitated for a moment before estimating the value of this item. He thought for a long time before finally offering a price: “Ten high-grade inner pills, plus a thousand spirit stones.”
He was very smart, and the price he offered was just within Li Qing’s tolerance.
Sure enough, Li Qing readily agreed, “Deal.”
He immediately handed over ten high-grade inner pills and a thousand spirit stones to that person, and both sides completed the transaction. Everyone was happy.
In fact, this price was extremely low, because for body refiners, hundreds of years of Blood Primordial Fruits were simply priceless treasures. If it weren’t for the fact that there wasn’t a good buyer in the Eight Desolate Sect and the mountains, that person wouldn’t have sold it so easily.
Li Qing picked up a slip and was very happy. He couldn’t wait to return to his residence and immediately ate the Blood Essence Fruit.
He bit down as if he had eaten a ball of flame, and it was incomparably hot.
Rumble!
His blood boiled and flowed at an extremely fast speed, as if it had transformed into a galloping river that washed away all of his flesh and blood. Li Qing hurriedly stood up and practiced the Purple Sun Fist, digesting this energy.
Due to the huge amount of energy, his breathing was extremely rapid. His face was like blood, blood vessels sprayed out, his skin was bright red, and a bit of blood-colored light overflowed from his body, as if he was on fire.
His strength was rapidly increasing, and his muscles were like pythons, swelling and twisting, strong and powerful.
After a full two hours, his body gradually calmed down and the flow of blood returned to normal.
The Blood Essence Fruit’s energy had been completely absorbed by him, transforming his body and greatly improving his strength. At this moment, his entire body was incredibly powerful, and his eyes shone brightly. With a slight force, the muscles and bones in his body rumbled, and with a single step, the ground trembled.
He estimated that this time, he had increased his strength by nearly 4,000 jin. In addition to his original strength of more than 6,000 jin, he now possessed 10,000 jin of strength.
Ten thousand kilograms of tremendous strength! What a terrifying power it was. Moreover, he still had the eighth level of Houtian Qi Refining cultivation. Perhaps no one below the Houtian realm would be his opponent.
“With my current strength, practicing the Purple Sun Fist has no effect.” He was a little annoyed and wanted to find a way to further refine his body.
