Chapter 78: Spotting the Target
Under normal circumstances, this Bear Demon Zhao Siyao could not be killed alone.
If it wasn't for the multiple constraints, this bear's skin was thick, its strength was boundless, and the stones it threw could penetrate the body shield of a Foundation Stage.
It is also able to take to the air with relative swiftness and emit a sonic roar.
With the assistance of Lu Chang'an and the Ground Rock Rats, they were killed with relative ease.
The loot was quite generous, bear skin, bear bones, bear bile, demonic cores, and demonic beast essence blood, all of which were good second-order materials.
"This bear demon is a middle grade upstream bloodline, the demon core is impure, and the fury is too heavy."
Unfortunately, the bear demon doesn't meet the demand for special demon cores.
The special demon core that replaces the Xuan Ling Fruit should at least start with an upper grade bloodline, and the demon core attributes should be pure and neutralized.
Lu Changan didn't expect the first second-rank demonic beast he killed to meet the requirements. "Fellow Daoist Zhao, I only want the bear skin and bear demon essence blood, you take the rest."
Lu Changan took the initiative to give up the big head.
"Uh-huh." Zhao Siyao didn't give in humbly.
It wasn't that Lu Chang'an didn't contribute enough and could only take a small amount, it was for the follow-up.
The second-stage demonic beasts that met the requirements were much stronger, and they still needed Zhao Siyao to resist the pressure head-on.
At that time, the extremely valuable special demon core will go to Lu Changan.
The two of them didn't talk about this in detail beforehand, but there is a certain tacit understanding at this time.
......
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two of them were dividing the loot, when in the distance, there was a mana aura of the Foundation Establishment Stage, flying low and sweeping in.
Lu Chang'an and Zhao Siyao looked alert and got up to take precautions.
In the Black Mist Mountain Range, the danger of demonic beasts is only part of the story.
Every year, an unknown number of cultivators die not from the mouths of demonic beasts, but by their own kind.
Lu Changan had the Ground Rock Rats hide underground as a response.
A few breaths later.
In the light gray mist, a male and a female Foundation Establishment Cultivator flew in at low altitude.
A rich middle-aged man wearing a cloak, with a bright forehead and mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.
A woman in a dress, elegant and tranquil, full of charm, early Foundation Establishment cultivation.
"Fellow Daoist, are you the cultivators of the Green Bamboo Sect?"
Zhao Siyao's eyes turned and saw a banana leaf artifact under the woman's feet.
She flashed out a light golden colored token.
"So it's a fellow Foundation Establishment Fellow of the Golden Cloud Valley."
The rich middle-aged man glanced over the bear demon corpse on the ground and revealed a warm smile as his gaze landed on Zhao Siyao.
"Green Bamboo Sect Deacon, Chen Fuhai."
"Green Bamboo Sect, xiao Ying Xue."
The Luo skirt woman's voice was soft and moist, and she also looked at the stunningly beautiful Zhao Siyao.
The two Foundation Establishment Stages ignored Lu Chang'an, a Qi Refining Stage, thinking that they were Zhao Siyao's juniors or followers.
"Golden Cloud Valley, Zhao Siyao. This is my good friend, Lu Changan."
After both sides were introduced, the atmosphere was much more relaxed.
In the Immortal Cultivation world of Liang, several major Immortal Cultivation clans are considered to be in the same circle, overriding the many Immortal Cultivation clans.
To Lu Changan's understanding, Liang's Immortal Cultivation Sects are generally neutral and orderly, at least in the open.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, can you sell the bear bile of that second-stage bear demon to Mister Chen? And that bear...... Lu junior brother, you know."
Chen Fuhai smiled brightly and gave Lu Changan a suggestive look.
"If Fellow Daoist Chen needs it, sell it according to the market rate of Yellow Dragon Immortal City."
Zhao Siyao nodded, her face slightly flushed.
"Good to say good to say."
Chen Fuhai took out a spirit stone bag and threw it to Zhao Siyao.
He had hinted at Lu Changan to cut off the bear whip, but the latter had a slight cleanliness fetish and ignored it.
He couldn't let Fairy Zhao do this kind of dirty work.
Chen Fuhai had to do it himself, taking down two great tonic medicines and putting them into a jade box to seal them.
After completing the transaction, the two sects' foundations were able to talk to each other.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, you need to pay attention: there is a piece of land 500 miles to the north that is occupied by a late second-stage Scorpion Armor Beast, this beast's bloodline is close to Earth Grade, and its strength is terrifying."
Before parting, Chen Fuhai leaked a piece of news.
"Thank you for reminding me, Fellow Daoist Chen."
Zhao Siyao's heart and mind fluttered as she thanked.
Late second stage demonic beasts were beyond the realm of what an ordinary Foundation Establishment could deal with.
In the Black Mist Mountain Range, the territory of demonic beasts is not static. Information on the location of dangerous beasts is very important to human cultivators.
Chen Fuhai's information is considered to be a favor.
......
Two months later.
Since that time when they killed the second-stage bear demon, Lu Changan and Zhao Siyao worked with the ground rock rats to take down two more early second-stage demonic beasts.
The parts and materials of these Second Stage Demonic Beasts could be exchanged for a considerable amount of Spirit Stones.
This is a very encouraging result.
However, after half a month, the duo encountered a slight setback.
Black Mist Mountain Range, on an open-air boulder.
Zhao Siyao, in a white dress, sat down to regulate her breathing, and her slightly pale face recovered a light haze-like rosy color.
The cloud temples were slightly messy, with a few strands of burnt green silk. "Fellow Daoist Zhao, are you alright?"
Lu Chang'an was guarding from the side, and the two puppets were patrolling the neighborhood.
"There's no harm, it's just that the mana consumption is high."
Zhao Siyao opened her soulful and clear eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you made the right decision, there is no need for us to fight hard with that fire lizard."
Not long ago, the two of them encountered a mid-second stage Fire Lizard.
The fire lizard attacked ferociously and its flame spells were powerful.
Zhao Siyao and the Earth Rock Rat had a 50-60% chance of winning the battle, and with Lu Changan's assistance, they had a chance to take it down.
Lu Chang'an didn't want to fight hard and retreated, throwing two water-based second-order talismans to make the fire lizard give up its pursuit.
In that battle, the fur of the ground rock rat was also burned a bit.
"Although we can kill the fire lizard with our combined efforts, it is possible that Daoist Zhao and the ground rock rat will be injured. This is something I don't want to see."
Lu Chang'an analyzed rationally.
In the Black Mist Mountain Range, there are all kinds of demonic beasts with strange abilities, as well as Immortal Cultivators with complicated human nature.
It is best to stay in the best condition at all times, so that you can cope with the unknown variables.
Importantly, the core of a fire-type demonic beast has a violent attribute and is not a suitable substitute for the Xuan Ling Fruit.
......
The third month in the Black Mist Mountain Range.
Lu Chang'an finally found the clue to the special demon core.
Inside a heavily wooded canyon.
Zee!
The ground rock rat carried a piece of white scaly skin in its mouth and came to Lu Changan.
Lu Chang'an took the white scale skin, the surface texture was like jade, it was cool and delicate to touch.
Zhao Siyao looked at it twice and pursed her lips and smiled:
"Congratulations fellow Daoist Lu! This should be the skin shed by the 'White Jade Python'."
White Jade Python, a top-grade bloodline demonic beast with pure demon core quality, neutral attributes, and no outstanding five elements.
As long as it reaches the second rank, its demon core is suitable to replace the Xuan Ling Fruit.
"It should be in this neighborhood."
Lu Changan knew the art of tracking, and together with the Ground Rock Rat, he searched for it in the canyon.
......
Half an hour later.
In the vine-covered mountain wall, a hidden hole was first discovered by the Ground Rock Rat.
The ground rock rats were scornful and hovered at the entrance of the cave, not daring to approach.
Snakes and pythons are naturally resistant to rats.
Lu Changan's heart was happy that the rock rat was afraid of the white jade python, at least it was a second-stage white jade python.
"Preferably a White Jade Python in the early second stage."
Lu Chang'an hoped in his heart.
If it was a White Jade Python in the middle stage of the second rank, it would be similar in strength to the Fire Lizard from before, and would be barely acceptable.
As for the late second stage, Lu Changan would turn around and run.
Looking at the previous molting, the White Jade Python was either at the early second stage or the middle stage.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao get ready."
Lu Chang'an withdrew some distance and had the heavy armored puppet block in front of him.
In his left hand, he secretly held a second-stage Transportation Talisman.
With his right hand, a fire snake about ten feet long drilled into the hidden cave.
A few breaths later.
The wall of the mountain shook lightly, the demonic power stirred, and there was an angry "hissing" sound.
The wind and sand whistled wildly, a length of about six or seven feet, the body of the crystal white giant python, rushed out of the cave.
Lu Changan's heart was sure, and he took back the second-order recluse talisman in his hand.
It's good luck!
This White Jade Python is at the peak of the early stage of the first rank, equivalent to a human's third level of Foundation Establishment cultivation.
It was at the stage of breakthrough and thus molted its scale skin.
Being interrupted in its cultivation, the white jade python was furious, and its dark green pupils flashed with cold light.
Rumble!
Half of the white jade python's body had just left the cave when the surrounding rocks collapsed and dust flew up.
Lu Chang'an cast an approving glance at the Ground Rock Rat.
Bang! Ka-ching!
The white jade python rolled over like a dragon, smashing the rock into pieces and opening its bloody mouth.
Lu Chang'an activated a second-order talisman.
In a flash, the temperature around him plummeted.
A whirlpool of freezing air of nearly ten feet, accompanied by hail, wind and snow, bombarded the body of the White Jade Python.
Second rank lower grade talisman, Ice Roar!
The white jade python's body condensed a layer of snow-white frost, its body movements appeared stiff, and the scales on its abdomen appeared to have a large area of ulceration.
Ice Roar, the killing power is not low, and the control power is even stronger.
The white jade python's demonic power erupted, the white crystal lines on its surface flashed wildly, struggling violently, and the frozen frost condensed on the python's body shattered inch by inch. "Go!"
Zhao Siyao's "Thousand Machines Umbrella" transformed into a sword form and swept through a sharp sword aura, leaving a foot-long bloody gash on the python's body.
Boom! Clang!
The white jade python completely exploded, the tail of the python dragged out a residual shadow, and knocked the Thousand Chance Umbrella flying, and the light of the spirit dimmed as it fell.
At the same time, it spat out a dazzling white beam of light from its mouth, straight towards Zhao Siyao, who posed the greatest threat.
Zhao Siyao lost control of her magic weapon and let out a muffled grunt as she hastily put up a transparent body shield.
The dazzling white beam of light was so powerful that it instantly melted a hole in the shield.
Zhao Siyao shouted and offered a copper mirror, which shone a deep green light and engulfed the white light beam.
Zhao Siyao fought with the white jade python.
Lu Chang'an took out a talisman disk and excited it with his mana.
Zzzzzzz!
Sixteen talismans flew out, flashing with electricity, weaving into a lightning formation that covered the white jade python.
