Chapter 731: Chapter 677: Advanced Divine Light (Additional Moon Ticket Requested)_1

"A group of Wild Beasts ’Wood Minks’?"

Fairy Pu slightly pursed her lips, "Sir’s luck is truly..."

"Hehe, as they say, blessing and misfortune come hand in hand. Wood Minks are purely Wooden Element Wild Beasts, and the land they inhabit abounds with all sorts of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Medicine..."

Xu Qingzi, still dressed in a slovenly robe, stroked his beard, "Moreover, their Inner Core, skin, antlers, deer blood... are all exceedingly rare materials, especially the antlers. They can be used to refine the ’Deer Origin Pill’, and as for the deer blood, hehe..."

Master Kuantao looked at Fang Xi and also revealed an ambiguous smile.

Fang Xi was somewhat at a loss for words.

As a Grandmaster in pill concoction, he naturally knew that the blood of a Wild Deer greatly nourished the Yang energy. If a male cultivator accidentally encountered a demoness or a spirit creature that practiced Charming Skills and drained his Yang energy, leaving him feeble and at death’s door, consuming a pill made from Monster deer blood could vastly increase the chances of turning a desperate situation around.

It could even enable a male cultivator to maintain his virility indefinitely, permitting him to fight off dozens of ladies skilled in seductive arts and emerge victorious...

"I wonder what everyone thinks. If you lend your assistance, the materials from the Wood Minks’ bodies and the surrounding Spiritual Medicine will naturally be distributed according to one’s contribution..."

Master Kuantao spoke, "I can also offer the recipe of a pill that enhances the magic power of Transcendent God cultivators... Most of the primary materials can be found near where those Wood Minks reside..."

"There’s actually such a Pill Recipe? I definitely want to go," said Fairy Pu, her face brightening with excitement.

"Pill Recipes for Transcendent Gods are of no use to me," Xu Qingzi stated calmly, "But I am quite interested in getting some of that Wood Mink blood to brew wine..."

As a not-so-skilled brewer himself, Fang Xi was aware that several kinds of ’Deer Blood Wine’ recipes existed in the Cultivation World, mainly used in the brothels and taverns of the Mortal Realm’s markets.

’I didn’t expect that the Earth Immortal Realm also has this custom... It seems that Immortal Cultivators are not immortals, but humans after all?’

He made eye contact with Fairy Yunxi and said, "If that’s the case, we are also willing to lend a hand..."

"Good, there’s no time like the present. Let’s set out immediately!" Master Kuantao exclaimed joyfully.

"Right now?" Fairy Yunxi seemed surprised.

"Sigh... I’ve just returned on short notice. After I find helpers, I still need to go to that savage jungle!" Master Kuantao’s face showed a trace of worry.

...

The Wilderness Jungle.

A Wood Mink here and there strolled leisurely and grazed...

Not far away, a Nascent Soul cultivator, draped in a light veil, shivered behind an Ancient Tree.

’Damn it... Just because my cultivation technique excels at concealing my aura doesn’t mean they should send me as a scout.’

’A group of Transcendent God-level Wild Beasts, if even one of them discovers me, I’m as good as dead...’

This black-armored cultivator secretly cursed, ’When will the captain bring reinforcements?’

Just as he was brooding, a chilling panic unexpectedly rose in his heart.

A Wood Mink looked up, glanced in his direction, and then, as if nothing had happened, continued to graze.

"I’ve been discovered?"

The color drained from the Nascent Soul cultivator’s face, ready to escape with his soul leaving his body at the first sign of trouble.

Escaping by soul-separation was effective against Wild Beasts because they commonly lacked acute spiritual wisdom. If a Nascent Soul cultivator performed soul-separation right in front of them, they might get distracted by the energy-filled body, allowing the escaping soul to slip away.

Yet the Wood Mink made no other moves as if the plants on the ground that resembled Spirit Ganoderma were far more attractive than a Nascent Soul cultivator.

’I’ve been... overlooked... To a fifth-tier Wild Beast, a Nascent Soul is indeed nothing special.’

A thought struck the Nascent Soul cultivator, ’Or is it that my Exotic Treasure is indeed effective at concealing my aura?’

He had purchased this veiled Exotic Treasure from a minor Qi Refining cultivator in a market, never expecting to have stumbled upon such a great bargain.

If he managed to escape with his life today, he certainly owed it thank to its efforts.

At that moment, he suddenly saw several streaks of Escape Light appearing in the sky not too far away.

It was Master Kuantao, leading a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, who together formed a Great Array.

"Rise!" Master Kuantao bellowed, waving a huge, pitch-black Array Flag in his hand.

This flag instantly emitted a shocking spiritual radiance, and lines of black Radiance soared into the sky, coalescing into a dark cloud.

Within the cloud, an Alien beast with a ferocious face, resembling both a tiger and a wolf, appeared.

This Alien beast had a third vertical eye on its forehead, shining brightly with red light.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, a line of Red Runes lit up from the third eye, striking a Wood Mink with the speed of lightning before it had a chance to react.

"Moo!"

This Wood Mink let out a mournful cry like a mix of a cow and a frog, as a large chunk of its grand antlers was sheared off and a savage, bloody wound appeared on its body.

At the site of the wound, streaks of green light appeared, as if trying to heal itself anew.

Wood Minks, as Wooden Element Wild Beasts, commonly possessed Divine Skills like ’self-healing’ and ’indestructibility.’

Yet, the Red Runes on its wound spread, seemingly suppressing its natural healing process.

Boom!

The injured Wood Mink collapsed thunderously.

However, the rest of the Wood Minks, as if driven mad, conjured dark green gales and charged fiercely towards Master Kuantao.

"Retreat!"

Although Master Kuantao looked like a mountain of flesh, his Escape Light was exceptionally fast.

He let out a roar and turned into a bolt of black light, shooting back rapidly.

The other Nascent Soul cultivators scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.

"Moo!"

Two Wood Monsters chased after the Nascent Soul cultivators, while the remaining five continued their frenzied pursuit of Master Kuantao.

Witnessing this scene, Master Kuantao’s face was expressionless.

The purpose of having so many Nascent Soul underlings was to tie down those two Wood Monsters.

Though he was flying expertly, he occasionally gave the five Wood Monsters behind him hope, inducing them to chase him relentlessly.

Suddenly!

Dust rose from all directions, transforming into an impregnable array!

The five Wood Monsters let out consecutive roars but found themselves isolated in separate spaces!

"Is this the Wood Monster?"

Upon seeing the Wood Monster opposite him, Fang Xi’s eyes immediately brightened.

This beast resembled an elk, but its hide was lush as jade, with split giant antlers that grew various rare spirit medicines.

"Moo!"

The Wood Monster opposite had an aura that could compare with a fifth-rank superior Monster beast.

Upon seeing Fang Xi, it immediately let out an angry roar. Numerous mysterious lights flickered from the antlers on its head before converging into a beam...

"Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light?!"

Fang Xi was slightly startled and then quickly raised his hand.

A few ’Demon Yin Thunder’ burst forth, exploding in mid-air and turning into a black-red blood cloud.

Strand after strand of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light shot into the blood cloud, becoming endlessly eroded and extinguished...

Until at last, they completely disappeared without a trace...

’Should I say, the myriad Dao all converge in the same way? Whether it’s the human race or the Wild Beasts, when developing Wooden Element Divine Skills to the end, do they all have similar divine lights?’

’Or is it that the Great Power who created ’Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light’ got inspired by the innate Divine Skills of the Wood Monster species?’

Fang Xi pondered for a moment, found no clue, and stopped thinking about it.

His eyes shimmered as he observed the Wood Monster’s teeth, bone structure, and the vital spot in the middle of its hind leg. "Hmm, not bad at all... Young and strong, quality beast teeth."

Such a gaze only infuriated the Wood Monster even more.

It let out a fierce roar, and from its forest-like antlers, creatures resembling hummingbirds flew out.

They kept singing, actually spitting out fresh blood. It was somewhat reminiscent of a cuckoo’s weeping blood.

Strands of red lines entered the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light, causing the divine light to become a mix of green and red, and inside numerous red runes emerged, suddenly slashing through the blood cloud and crashing down!

"Good!"

"Very good!"

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up; he cast the ’Mysterious Dark Banner’, and waves of Mysterious Dark Heavy Water surged, catching all the advanced Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light.

He looked at those hummingbird Monster beasts, which were mostly of the second and third tier, and for some reason, he thought of rhinos and oxpecker birds.

Although the oxpecker birds were extremely fragile, they were good helpers to rhinos.

These low-tier Monster beasts were the same!

The power within their blood could actually help the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light to evolve?!

"It is indeed worth studying, and maybe it could be combined to display an even more powerful Divine Skill..."

Ever since he studied deeply in The Nine States, Fang Xi had acquired a bit of a scholar’s temperament and thought process.

With the convenience of the ’Eternal Green Body’ and such a good subject for research, he was very confident about researching a variant Divine Skill of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light!

"It’s a pity that this one is male, if I could catch a female for breeding... It would be even better for research and observation."

He sighed, then cast a Magic Spell into the ’Mysterious Dark Banner’.

Rustle rustle!

Nine Nether Underworld River Endless Sands!

A long black river appeared in an instant, submerging the Wood Monster’s massive body...

Struck by countless Mysterious Dark Divine Sands, the Wood Monster’s Magic Power dissipated instantly. It cried out pitifully, swept away by the current, and was suppressed to the bottom of the ’Nine Nether Underworld River Mysterious Sand Array’.

Fang Xi retracted the Mysterious Dark Banner, and the vast expanse of black water, along with the Wood Monster, disappeared without a trace.

Only then did he have the leisure to survey the other Transcendent God cultivators.

Although on the same level of Transcendent God, the fighting power of Wild Beasts often fell short of human and Demonic Beasts cultivators.

Relying solely on innate Divine Skills and physique, this was a path even the Monster Clan had abandoned.

After all, when Monster cultivators reached higher tiers, they also needed to practice techniques like ’Sky Demon Slaying Immortal Tactics’, refine magical artifacts, and learn Secret Skills.

Although Monster Clan cultivation techniques were mostly simpler, combined with their innate Divine Skills, they could be quite effective.

Fang Xi’s gaze shifted and soon spotted Fairy Yunxi dealing with a female Wood Monster. He couldn’t help but smile slightly, "Yunxi, I’m here to assist you!"

He flicked his finger, and the Divine Infant Sword emitted an extremely mournful wail, suddenly vanishing.

When it reappeared, it was behind the female Wood Monster.

Whoosh whoosh!

Strands of red lines crisscrossed, piercing through the Wood Monster’s thick fur.

With a terrible scream, the Wood Monster’s blood flowed freely.

Seeing this, Fairy Yunxi felt much more at ease and brought out a blue ribbon-like treasure.

This treasure flickered with Radiance, looking like a blue Flood Dragon, that quickly wrapped around the Wood Monster.

Fang Xi approached the Wood Monster, casting a demonic light into its eyes.

The Wood Monster let out a bewildered cry and fell unconscious.

"Yunxi, I have other uses for this Wood Monster. How about I buy it from you?" Fang Xi turned around, smiling at Yunxi.

"Since Mr. Fang desires it, I shall give this Wild Beast to you," Fairy Yunxi said with a restrained smile. "There is no need for such politeness between us..."
