Chapter 371
"Why is there a group of large snakes?"
Li Fuchen12Li Fuchen
Main Protagonist didn't act recklessly. His intuition told him that the giant water jar-sized snake wasn't going to be easy to deal with. It was probably at the strength level of the Reincarnation Realm.
Hiss Hiss Hiss…
The snakes had noticed Li Fuchen. The giant snake which was the boss had raised its head high like a pillar. It glared intently at Li Fuchen with its snake eyes that were filled with terrifying murderous intent.
"This group of large snakes is probably having astonishing physiques due to this mystic yang land. But all their demonic qi has been cleansed."
The mystic yang qi had the ability to dispel evil qi. Demonic qi was also considered a kind of evil qi. After residing in this place for a long period of time, the demonic qi within the demonic beasts were gradually dispelled. Of course, Li Fuchen reckoned that these snakes weren't of high classes in the beginning. If they were class 5 demonic beasts, the mystic yang qi wouldn't be able to dispel their demonic qi, let alone cleansing them without them knowing.
But the Spirit Cleansing Herb was different. For demonic beasts and demons, the Spirit Cleansing Herb was a dose of poison. After they consumed it, even if they didn't die, they would shed a layer of skin. This was why the Spirit Cleansing Herb could only grow in places with high levels of mystic yang essence. The mystic yang qi contained within was shockingly concentrated.
"I must obtain the spirit cleansing herb. Let me try out the strength of that boss snake."
Li Fuchen walked over step by step.
Hiss Hiss Hiss…
Apart from the boss snake, the rest of the orangish-yellow snakes had moved and they lunged at Li Fuchen like a storm.
"Get lost!"
With a wave of his hand, a whole group of orangish-yellow snakes were swept away. The weaker ones were immediately turned into blood mist while the stronger ones were cut up into segments. In the face of a Reincarnation Realm strength, all those weaker than Reincarnation Realm were just like ants.
Rumble!
The boss orangish-yellow snake moved. When its water jar-sized body moved, it was like a meteor blasting over. This power was definitely at the 3rd or 4th level of Reincarnation Realm.
"What strength."
The boss snake attacked with a speed so fast that Li Fuchen's awareness had reacted but his body reacted a little slower. Forming a fist with his right hand and bursting out with dragon elephant power, Li Fuchen blasted with his fist.
There was a ripple and Li Fuchen was sent flying back. When he landed, his foot broke the surface of the valley.
"It has the strength of a 3rd level Reincarnation Realm."
Earlier on, Li Fuchen didn't activate the Metal Bone Fist. After bursting out with the dragon elephant power, his strength was also at the 3rd level of Reincarnation Realm. But he was slightly weaker than the boss snake.
Li Fuchen's fist was enveloped by a layer of dark gold qi. He stomped on the surface and rushed at the boss snake again.
The boss snake flailed its tail to whip at Li Fuchen.
Bang Bang Bang…
A man and a snake started a frenzied battle.
Overall, Li Fuchen's strength was stronger than the boss snake, but due to the excessively large size of the boss snake's body, Li Fuchen's fist was only able to cause some superficial injury.
"Metal Bone Soul Split!"
The skin of the fist cracked while dark gold molten qi gushed out. Li Fuchen then slammed his fist at the forehead of the boss snake.
Crackle!
The head of the boss snake dented inwards and its consciousness got a little stunned.
Crackle Crackle!
Striking while the iron was hot, Li Fuchen launched a barrage of fist strikes on the head of the boss snake. Each of his fists contained large amount of dragon elephant power.
Hiss!!!
The boss snake lifted its head and hissed out loud. Its body burst out with a layer of yellow light.
"Not good, this extraordinary strength."
Li Fuchen considered his own qi power to be regular strength, while the dragon elephant power was considered as extraordinary strength. It was obvious that the boss snake also possessed extraordinary strength. Once the boss snake activated its extraordinary strength, Li Fuchen was no longer a match.
Boom!
There was a violent qi wave explosion that sent Li Fuchen flying and crashing into the side of the valley.
After activating the extraordinary strength, the boss snake's overall strength increased from 3rd level Reincarnation Realm to 5th level Reincarnation Realm. Its strength could easily crush Li Fuchen.
After vomiting a mouthful of blood, Li Fuchen jolted his body and jumped out from the side of the valley.
If he didn't have the Silver Scale Armor, that attack earlier would have claimed half his life.
"It didn't use its extraordinary strength at the beginning and only used it when it was nearly killed by me. It seems like its extraordinary strength is limited."
How could Li Fuchen have known that the orangish-yellow snakes didn't have any cultivation techniques and could only rely on gathering extraordinary strength? It was obvious that they would have a much lesser capacity for such extraordinary strength.
Taking advantage of the fact that he had the Silver Scale Armor, Li Fuchen rushed at the boss snake again.
Just as Li Fuchen expected, after sending Li Fuchen into flight a few more times later, the boss snake's extraordinary strength started to weaken. The yellow light was getting dimmer and at the latter part of the battle, it was already negligible.
"Die!"
Li Fuchen leaped high and used the downward momentum to blast his fist on the head of the boss snake.
Crackle!
The originally injured head of the boss snake instantly burst out and died on the spot.
"Such concentrated blood. What a pity." Li Fuchen's face flashed with an extreme dilemma.
Without qi, he couldn't extract the orangish-yellow snake's essence blood.
This boss snake was a class 5 demonic beast that possessed extraordinary strength, its essence blood was definitely filled with energy. Class 5 high-tier demonic beasts might not be comparable with this boss snake. It was truly a waste of resources if one didn't extract the essence blood.
Just as Li Fuchen was feeling regretful, the Spirit Cleansing Herb on the high land suddenly emitted an extremely resplendent bright yellow light. In the next moment, the boss snake's blood was turned into streaks of crystal yellow qi.
Li Fuchen could see that this crystal yellow qi was the extracted essence blood.
"The Spirit Cleansing Herb is absorbing the boss snake's essence blood?" Li Fuchen was surprised.
After a few breaths, the yellow qi from the boss snake body was absorbed while the Spirit Cleansing Herb on the high land was experiencing some changes. The color had turned from bright yellow to crystal yellow. It was just like a stalk of yellow crystal herb.
"The Spirit Cleansing Herb has ripened. So that is why." Li Fuchen was enlightened.
This Spirit Cleansing Herb wasn't ripe yet, thus, the orangish-yellow snakes didn't consume it. Now that the Spirit Cleansing Herb had devoured the essence blood of the boss snake, it had ripened in advance.
A Spirit Cleansing Herb that had yet to ripen could also be used to refine the Spirit Cleansing Elixir, but the effects were definitely weaker than the Spirit Cleansing Elixir with a ripened spirit cleansing herb. A Spirit Cleansing Herb that had yet to ripen could also be used to refine the Spirit Cleansing Elixir, but the effects were definitely weaker than the Spirit Cleansing Elixir with a ripened Spirit Cleansing Herb.
This trip was extremely worth it for Li Fuchen.
Walking up, Li Fuchen reached out to harvest the Spirit Cleansing Herb and stored it inside a jade box.
"Done. I can return to Raging Inferno City now." Li Fuchen smiled.
Once the Spirit Cleansing Elixir was refined, the evil intent from the Blood Corpse Elixir in his body should be completely dispelled and his bone frame would upgrade by at least one star. It would be extremely helpful for his future growth.
One day later, Li Fuchen walked out of the Mystic Sun Mountains.
In regards to the life and death of the sinister man, Li Fuchen couldn't be bothered.
In his opinion, it was impossible for the sinister man to survive.
***
Raging Inferno City's Inner City, Ten Thousand Pills Pavilion.
"Young Hero Li, you have obtained the Spirit Cleansing herb?" Elder Huo was surprised.
It had been just a few days, but Li Fuchen had obtained the Spirit Cleansing Herb.
Could the Mystic Sun Mountains be covered in Spirit Cleansing Herbs?
It was obvious that it was impossible.
It seemed like Li Fuchen's luck was heaven-defying and had obtained a stalk of Spirit Cleansing Herb due to his fate.
"Young Hero Li. Since you have obtained the Spirit Cleansing Herb, you can follow me to the Mystic Yang Master's residence." Elder Huo smiled and said.
"Sure." Li Fuchen nodded.
The Mystic Yang Master's residence was on the main road of the inner city.
Raging Inferno Road was the no.1 road of the Raging Inferno City. This road was established with various blazing heat array that could extract the underground's burning qi to refine elixirs. Those that resided in this place were all earth class Concoction Masters. The Mystic Yang Master was just one of them. Of course, it was also one of the most famous Concoction Masters.
In just a short moment, the duo arrived at the Mystic Yang Master's residence.
It was a manor that occupied several hectares. To possess a manor in this Raging Inferno City which had expensive land, it was imaginable how wealthy the Mystic Yang Master was.
After being led by the housekeeper, Li Fuchen and Elder Huo walked through a herb garden and arrived at the concoction hall.
"Master, Elder Huo is here." The housekeeper announced.
"Enter then!" A forceful voice echoed from within.
"Please enter." The housekeeper made a gesture with his right hand.
After entering the concoction hall, Li Fuchen saw that the Mystic Yang Master was currently concocting an elixir.
The Mystic Yang Master was wearing a flaming concoction robe. He looked to be around the age of 40 or 50, but his eyes were wise and farsighted, giving off a feeling that he was around 70 years old or even 80 years old.
Apart from this, Li Fuchen could sense that the Mystic Yang Master's cultivation was at the 5th level of Reincarnation Realm. It was an extremely high level, especially for a Concoction Master who spent lesser time on cultivation.
"Greetings to Mystic Yang Master." Elder Huo and Li Fuchen cupped their fists and greeted respectfully.
The Mystic Yang Master looked at Elder Huo before turning to Li Fuchen, "You are the one that wants the Spirit Cleansing Elixir?"
"It is this junior." Li Fuchen nodded.
"You should know about my conditions, right? Let me see the Spirit Cleansing Herb." The Mystic Yang Master reached out.
"Yes."
Li Fuchen took out a jade box and handed it to the housekeeper beside him. The housekeeper then delivered the jade box to the Mystic Yang Master.
After gently opening the jade box, the Mystic Yang Master revealed a smile and said, "Not bad, it is actually a ripened Spirit Cleansing Herb. With this Spirit Cleansing Herb, I will be able to concoct a high-grade Spirit Cleansing Elixir. Your luck is rather good."
Elixirs of the same class were also separated by grades.
Generally, elixirs in the market were basically low-grade, with a rare few high-grade. In comparison, high-grade elixirs were naturally more expensive, thus, the Mystic Yang Master said Li Fuchen's luck was rather good as he had used 500 low-grade spirit stones to obtain a high-grade Spirit Cleansing Elixir. In the market, a mid-grade Spirit Cleansing Elixir would cost 600 low-grade spirit stones, while a high-grade Spirit Cleansing Elixir would fetch at least 700 low-grade spirit stones.
"Come over and collect the Spirit Cleansing Elixir five days later."
The Mystic Yang Master waved his hand and chased the guests out.
Li Fuchen didn't mind the Mystic Yang Master's attitude.
These masters were mostly reclusive and didn't like to have conversations with people. They were already giving you a lot of regards to have a short conversation with you.
After leaving the Mystic Yang Master's residence, Li Fuchen and Elder Huo arrived at the Ten Thousand Pills pavilion.
"Elder Huom I need some body refinement elixirs, one Marrow Cleansing Elixir, and Jade Water Elixir.
For this trip to the Mystic Sun Mountains, Li Fuchen had a great battle with the sinister man and also one with the orangish-yellow boss snake. He had exhausted around 1000 strands of dragon elephant power and required a large quantity of body refinement elixirs to replenish them.
As a body refinement martial artist, Li Fuchen had deeply experienced the awkward part of the body refinement path.
He wasn't able to last long in a battle and there was a terrifyingly high demand for resources.
After every huge battle, resources were required for replenishment.
Unlike qi cultivation martial artists who only had to consume the heaven and earth qi or qi from the spirit stones to replenish themselves.
Furthermore, qi cultivation martial artists could persist longer in a battle by more than 10 times or 100 times.
Li Fuchen felt that he was like an ordinary man who had finished a physical activity and would need food to replenish his stamina. If he didn't replenish himself, he would only get weaker.
One Marrow Cleansing Elixir, one Jade Water Elixir, and a large quantity of body refinement elixirs had cost Li Fuchen 300 low-grade spirit stones.
The Marrow Cleansing Elixir and Jade Water Elixir cost a total of 60 low-grade spirit stones. Meaning that Li Fuchen had bought 240 low-grade spirit stones worth of mystic class peak-tier body refinement elixirs.
In fact, Li Fuchen only required 100 low-grade spirit stones worth of mystic class peak-tier body refinement elixirs to replenish his dragon elephant power. But it was inevitable that there would be more battles in the future. Li Fuchen was simply stocking up in advance.
