1434: C1434 Wailing

C1434 Wailing

With a muffled sound, the wolf howled and its body twisted as it retreated. Its body was burnt black and its fur had fallen off. It was covered in blood and it was extremely pitiful.

"Hmm, this wolf's strength is equivalent to the third level of the Martial Master Realm. It should be about there." Zhou Yan muttered to himself.

"Since you want to eat me, I'll eat you."

Immediately after, Zhou Yan's eyes turned cold as he dashed forward like a ferocious beast. He pounced forward, grabbed the neck of the giant wolf, and tore it apart.

* Aghhh! *

A series of sharp howls came out from the mouth of the wolf, causing one's scalp to go numb.

Very quickly, the demonic wolf was completely silent. It was bitten to death by Zhou Yan and its flesh and blood essence was eaten alive.

Rumble ~

Suddenly, a thick bloody aura filled the air from the wolf's corpse, turning into a cloud of bloody mist that surged like a waterfall.

Zhou Yan was overjoyed and hurriedly opened his mouth to devour the bloody mist.

The Blood Qi was a great tonic for any martial cultivator.

Especially since Zhou Yan's cultivation technique was special, it was extremely efficient to swallow the Blood Qi.

Not long after, the Blood Qi dissipated, and Zhou Yan's cultivation improved further, reaching the ninth level of the Martial Disciple Realm!

"Haha...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Zhou Yan laughed towards the sky, feeling extremely carefree in his heart: "I never thought that cultivating here for a day would be two or three days worse than cultivating in the outside world."

"No wonder those martial cultivators are willing to fight for it with their lives on the line."

Under normal circumstances, it would take a year of hard work to reach the ninth level of the Martial Disciple Realm, and perhaps only then would one be able to advance to the Martial Master Realm.

But here, it could be done in just a few days, and the speed of cultivation was even faster.

"But..."

After calming down a little, Zhou Yan frowned again and revealed a puzzled expression: "Why is this ruins space not under my control?"

According to his memories, this place should have been sealed, preventing martial disciples from entering.

However, from the looks of it, there was no seal placed here.

Zhou Yan carefully observed and confirmed that there were no problems before walking out of the tomb.

* Crack! *

Just as he stepped out of the door, a shadow suddenly appeared and enveloped Zhou Yan.

"What the hell is this?!"

With a low roar, Zhou Yan stretched out his hand and slapped down. The force of his palm was incomparably sharp.

Bang!

In an instant, a ferocious wolf head smashed into the hard wall. Blood splattered everywhere as the wolf head shattered.

"This..." Zhou Yan was shocked. Only after taking a closer look did he let out a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a gray mouse. Furry and chubby, it jumped around and looked at Zhou Yan warily.

This mouse had shiny black fur and a pointed tail. It appeared to be disdainful. After squeaking a few times, it entered the cave and disappeared without a trace.

"Hmm... This rat is pretty smart."

Zhou Yan burst into laughter and continued to venture deeper into the forest to look for prey.

Not long after, Zhou Yan stopped in his tracks as he felt a strange sensation.

This forest was filled with vitality. The trees were lush and green, and flowers and grass were everywhere. All kinds of birds were chirping and the scenery was beautiful. It was like a paradise.

However, Zhou Yan noticed that the plants in the vicinity had withered, turned yellow, and even decayed, emitting a foul stench.

"What's going on..."

Zhou Yan frowned and looked around, making a guess.

"Could it be that I accidentally barged into a forbidden area..." Zhou Yan muttered to himself.

Forbidden area, this was the Secret Realm space left behind by the ancient sects. It was specially used by the disciples to train. It was far more dangerous than the wild, filled with poisonous insects, beasts, and all kinds of rare treasures.

According to the rumors, every forbidden area had a peerless enemy guarding it, and it was extremely terrifying.

"Forget it, I won't care for now."

"Let's get out of here first..."

With that thought in mind, Zhou Yan raised his head and looked at the sky, only to see the sun hanging high in the sky. The scorching sun was already approaching noon.

"Today is the last day of the Hunting Contest. There's only half a day left before the start of the selection," Zhou Yan muttered.

The Hunting Contest was an exchange of pointers held by the experts of Martial Disciples and Martial Masters in the Green Cloud County City.

Before this, Zhou Yan had heard that some of the more famous young experts had already arrived at the hunting grounds and were preparing to participate in the selection.

After all, the champion of the Hunting Contest would receive generous rewards. Only by obtaining a good ranking could one exchange for cultivation resources.

Furthermore, these youths were all prodigies of the big families of the Green Cloud County and they all had powerful backgrounds. They were extremely wealthy and could be said to be the richest of the rich.

"Not only that, these young experts are all future pillars of the Green Cloud County."

"As long as one wins the first place, they can definitely enter a big family and be nurtured."

"If one can become friends with these young experts, their future will be limitless."

Zhou Yan's eyes turned, his mind was active, and he quietly headed towards the hunting ground.

During this process, Zhou Yan encountered many fierce beasts, but they were all easily dealt with by him.

"Eh? There's actually a Spiritual medicine here?"

Along the way, Zhou Yan's harvest was quite bountiful, and he discovered that many of the Spiritual medicines were all at the level of a hundred years old. They were expensive and made him ecstatic.

"Hmm? Why is there a Rank Five Spiritual medicine here?"

Suddenly, Zhou Yan's eyes focused and noticed a beautiful red lotus.

"It's really easy to find it after wearing out iron shoes and searching for it." Zhou Yan was extremely excited as he immediately rushed forward to pick it.

A Rank Five Spiritual Medicine was rare and precious. If it was placed on the market, it would be worth at least five thousand taels of silver, which was enough to buy a bottle of Body Tempering Pills.2

"Wait, why is this Spiritual medicine so familiar..."

Suddenly, Zhou Yan's heart trembled, and his expression changed. He stared at the red lotus, revealing a shocked expression.

"Isn't this the Scarlet Flame Grass?!"

Zhou Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Scarlet Flame Grass was a fifth grade Spiritual medicine. It was extremely beneficial to the forging of the body and had a gentle attribute.

However, due to its rarity, it was usually refined by cultivators into Body Tempering Pills to strengthen their physique.

In Zhou Yan's memories, his grandfather, Zhou Heng, had once told him about the Body Tempering Pills.

It was said that the Body Strengthening Pill was made by a martial artist using the power of the fire element. It contained the pure power of the fire element and after consuming it, it could increase one's fire element and increase one's talent in martial arts, allowing one to become an alchemist.

This point was explained in the Body Tempering Technique and couldn't be ignored.

However, the recipe for the Body Strengthening Pill had been lost for many years.

"The difficulty of creating the Body Tempering Pill is extremely high and one must have strong strength or else they won't be able to make it!"

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment before shaking his head and throwing the Scarlet Flame Grass back onto the ground. He did not plan to refine the pill.

Although, Zhou Yan's current strength was quite strong, enough to crush all of his peers except his father. Even Second Uncle Zhou Hongyuan felt inferior.

However, Zhou Yan still knew that there was still a gap between him and his opponent.

"Right now, I'm still too weak. I have to hurry up and increase my strength."
