In the wilderness, where human presence is rare, even wild beasts are seldom seen.
Aside from the sound of leaves rustling, it is eerily quiet. It seems as if the air is stagnant and unmoving.
Lin Qiubai checked the map again.
The treasure was close at hand, but it could also be fraught with danger.
Yet no matter what danger lay ahead, it could not deter Lin Qiubai's determined steps.
After encountering the Evil Cultivators, Lin Qiubai felt acutely aware of his own weakness. The lowest among those Evil Cultivators had a cultivation level at the high stage of the Yuan Dan Realm.
Meanwhile, Lin Qiubai was merely at the eighth level of Body Refinement. Although he had the support of the Sacred Bone Body and was accompanied by the Heavenly Dao Payment System, his actual combat power was still negligible!
Not only could Lin Qiubai not defeat a strong practitioner of the Yuan Dan Realm, but he was also no match for high-level Origin Realm warriors, let alone someone as formidable as Wei Sanjie from the Creation Realm.
Being able to escape from that Old Evil Demon Wei Sanjie was largely due to luck...
Lin Qiubai did not believe he would have such fortune again next time; even if he did, he would not rely on chance.
He only believed in strength!
If he were a Nirvana Realm expert yesterday, with a wave of his sleeve, hundreds of Evil Cultivators would have turned to ashes—there would have been no need for such theatrics for so long!
With this thought in mind, Lin Qiubai's martial will seemed like a piece of uncut jade, being polished by a sharp blade, gradually revealing a glimmering edge.
"Eh? There's actually a corpse."
Lin Qiubai was startled by a faint metallic gleam that pierced his eyes. He instinctively crouched down.
Better to be cautious than sorry.
Seeing that there was no movement around and no other strange signs, Lin Qiubai approached the corpse, intrigued by the earlier metallic glimmer.
Could it be a rare treasure?
"Hiss..."
Suddenly, a wisp of black smoke surged from the corpse, and within the smoke, something strange seemed to shoot toward Lin Qiubai's eyes at lightning speed.
This thing is suspicious!
"Demon Wugui."
Lin Qiubai felt a chill run down his spine as his hair stood on end. He quickly summoned Demon Wugui.
Demon Wugui revered Lin Qiubai and obeyed his commands without question. It materialized from the Treasure Chest, positioning itself in front of Lin Qiubai. Its mouth opened and closed rapidly, creating a high-frequency clattering sound. The malevolent aura from the strange entity in the black smoke instantly dissipated, causing it to fall to the ground, trembling.
"It turns out to be a type of Gu..."
Lin Qiubai remembered that the "Beast Taming Techniques - The Gu Cultivation Chapter" mentioned this type of Gu.
The Misty Smoke Cicada.
This is a very cunning Gu that uses black smoke to create a false sense of danger and launches surprise attacks.
However, it always pretends to be knocked away by its opponent and retreats far away. Many martial artists who managed to drive away the Misty Smoke Cicada believed that the danger was over.
They became complacent about the black smoke, merely waving it away casually.
But in reality, that black smoke is the Misty Smoke Cicada's most lethal weapon.
Once triggered by a martial artist's vital energy, it transforms into a colorless and odorless gas.
Then it enters the martial artist's body through the respiratory tract...
Once inhaled, the martial artist's muscles will become paralyzed, and even their vital energy may be depleted.
In the end, they can only wait for death.
The corpse of the strong practitioner from the Yuan Gathering Realm Ninefold on the ground is clear evidence of this.
"Bring me that storage ring."
Knowing the true nature of the Misty Smoke Cicada, Lin Qiubai naturally would not be fooled. Standing at a distance, he commanded Yaowu to search and loot.
Demon Wugui obediently climbed onto the corpse and pried off the peculiar ring from its finger, presenting it before Lin Qiubai.
This was a Black Storage Ring.
It appeared plain and unremarkable, showing no signs of anything special.
However, when Lin Qiubai held it in his hand, an unexpected change occurred!
The small ring suddenly levitated, hovering in front of Lin Qiubai.
A wisp of pale white smoke emerged from the ring and gradually transformed into a Crane-Haired Elder.
"Cough, cough. Young man, meeting you is fate... Do you wish to become stronger? Do you desire extraordinary power? Do you want to be revered by others?"
The transparent Crane-Haired Elder feigned profundity and solemnly asked the way.
Lin Qiubai looked at the elder with interest. Upon hearing these words, he couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain, thinking to himself:
This routine is so old...
"Don't be so frightened that you can't speak, young man. Encountering someone from my sect is a tremendous opportunity for you. In my lifetime, I once looked down upon an entire era. With my guidance, your cultivation can soar to new heights. How about it? Aren't you incredibly excited?"
Lin Qiubai forced a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Is this ring an old grandfather?
Cheat Device?
If it were anyone else, they would have already bowed down to the old man. However, Lin Qiubai possesses the [Heavenly Path Payment System]...
I dare say, in this world of Cheat Devices, who can compare to the Heavenly Path Payment System?
Once you've seen the vast ocean, nothing else can compare.
For an old Grandfather like this, with such a low-level Cheat Device, Lin Qiubai couldn't care less. He scoffed and shifted his gaze to the corpse of the Unlucky One.
It was clear that the old man had been the Cheat Device for this Unlucky One. Perhaps due to too much trust in the old man, combined with his manipulation, the Unlucky One took a risk and came here, only to meet a glorious end...
And the old man couldn't even protect the dead Unlucky One.
He couldn't even safeguard someone at the ninth level of Yuan Qi, yet he had the audacity to boast?
Lin Qiubai laughed out loud and turned to leave.
The old man, pretending to be profound and calm, was left dumbfounded.
What was going on?!
Are young people nowadays really this impressive?
So strong that they can overlook such an opportunity?
The old man activated the ring, blocking Lin Qiubai's path.
He still needed something from Lin Qiubai and could not let this lifeline slip away...
"Hmph, I was once a Beast Master! The leader of a mid-tier sect, many people flattered and fawned over me. Yet here you are, unable to recognize greatness. I see your talent is exceptionally poor; if you continue to cultivate step by step, it’s uncertain whether you can even break through to the Origin Realm."
The old man's displeasure was evident as he began to speak alarmingly.
Lin Qiubai was taken aback, then looked at the old man with a strange expression.
"My talent is exceptionally poor? Breaking through to the Origin Realm is a major issue? This is simply ridiculous."
"Oh, you are a Beast Master..."
Lin Qiubai asked while flipping through the recording paper.
"Naturally."
The old man held his head high, appearing quite pleased with himself.
"Then let me ask you: there is a ferocious beast that is a king beast in its juvenile stage and can rival Nirvana Realm experts in its adult stage. After the mother beast gives birth, it often abandons its young, allowing them to perish on their own. Additionally, this beast has purple fur, feeds on lightning, possesses wings behind its ribs, moves as fast as thunder, and is incredibly powerful. What is this ferocious beast called?"
"There’s no such ferocious beast!"
The old man scolded, feeling that Lin Qiubai's lack of reverence was unacceptable.
He continued to pose questions to test him.
More importantly, Lin Qiubai spoke with great seriousness, but the old man had never heard of such a Fierce Beast. Wasn't this a slap in the face?
The old man felt insulted; if it weren't for his difficult situation and his need for Lin Qiubai, he would have certainly lost his temper.
"You are just sitting in a well and watching the sky. This type of Fierce Beast is called the Purple Wing Thundercloud Beast, and it is rarely seen by humans. However, it can be found in the Great Wilderness of Northern Liang Province. Perhaps there is one nearby."
Lin Qiubai said with calm sarcasm.
The old man was so angry that he was jumping up and down; as a Beast Master, he had never been humiliated like this.
But suddenly, the old man looked as if he had lost his voice, staring wide-eyed at something behind Lin Qiubai.
"Young man, you are my brother! You are my real brother! There really is such a Fierce Beast?!"
Lin Qiubai turned around abruptly and saw not far away a purple Fierce Beast with wings growing from its ribs. He nervously swallowed.
There was no escaping; once targeted by the Beast King, there was no way to run away for the rest of his life...
Lin Qiubai felt a pang of anxiety; having just escaped from an Evil Cultivator, encountering a Beast King now meant that his life was truly in danger.
