C9 The Ninth Chapter
He had just finished washing up and changed into a gray robe.
At this moment, an urgent voice came from outside the door. "Senior Brother Yang, you finally came back from Back Mountain! How is it? Your harvest is not bad, right?"
Yang Ying joked, "Not bad, Junior Brother Wang. You are quite well-informed!"
"Yes. When I heard that someone sold a large amount of demon beast materials in Mission Hall, I knew it was you who came back! "
Wang Mingxuan calmed his breathing and said, "Senior Brother Yang, there's news about your new sword!"
He took the cup and drank two cups of water. He patted his stomach and said with satisfaction, "I contacted Senior Brother Zhao. Senior Brother Zhao said that he wants to try refining a Magic Tool Long Sword recently. He has collected all the materials."
He said with distress, "It's just that Senior Brother Zhao wants to try and break through to the advanced craftsman. The requirement to become an advanced craftsman is to refine a top grade magic weapon. And if he used an ordinary Cold Spring Fire, he might not be able to create a high grade magic weapon. Hence, he wants to try using the blood of a demon beast with the cold attribute."
"A cold attribute demon beast?" Yang Ying lowered his head and thought deeply. He carefully recalled the demon beasts in the demonic beast illustrated handbook, "The demon beasts with the cold attribute that a Qi Refinement warrior can hunt are the Frost Toad and the Water Cloud Beast."
The Frost Toad was located in the northernmost region. No one in the Back Mountain had seen it before.
The Water Cloud Beast had a trace of the Water Kirin's bloodline, although it was only a little. However, the Water Kirin was a divine beast that came from the Ten Thousand Year Cold Pond. It liked to devour demons, and it could control water and deter demons. He had heard that the Water Cloud Beast had once appeared near the cold pond in Back Mountain.
"The Water Cloud Beast is a Rank Eight demonic beast, and because it possesses the bloodline of a divine beast, its combat strength is not something ordinary Rank Eight demonic beasts can compare with. It is an existence that even a Ninth Order Qi Refinement can't defeat." When Wang Mingxuan heard Yang Ying's words, he couldn't help but sigh.
"I want to give it a try!" Yang Ying said firmly, "Wait for me for ten days."
Wang Mingxuan was shocked. He knew Yang Ying very well. He knew that Yang Ying had made up his mind, and it would be very difficult for him to convince him.
However, he still advised, "Senior Brother Yang, we can think of other ways to get the Magic Tool Long Sword! The Water Cloud Beast has the bloodline of a Divine Beast. You must be careful!"
At night, Yang Ying called out his system interface.
Name: Yang Ying
Identity: A disciple of the Green Cloud Sect's Outer Sect
Grade: Red Level
Realm: Qi Refinement Eighth Level
Cultivation Technique: Profound Essence Spell (Perfection), Basic Sword Arts (Perfection), Soaring Movement Arts (Perfection), Gale Fast Sword (Perfection)
Origin Strength: 0
Next level up Origin Strength you need: 0/900；
He looked at the System Interface and silently calculated.
"Qi Refinement Level 7 to Qi Refinement Level 8 requires 600 source energy. Qi Refinement Level 8 to Qi Refinement Level 9 requires 900 source energy. Then Qi Refinement Ninth Level to Qi Refinement Tenth Level might require 1,200 source energy. If I want to enter the inner sect this time, Then I need to get into the top three in the Trial Assembly. Within 20 days, I need to get at least 2,100 source energy."
He secretly sighed in his heart. "And I have to go and find the Water Cloud Beast. Time is of the essence!"
"The Cold Pond is in the northwest direction of the Back Mountain. After I enter the mountain tomorrow, in order to save time, I will first move to the northwest. I'll hunt and kill Tier 7 demonic beasts as I walk. After I advance to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement, I'll head straight for the Cold Pond!"
The next morning, in a mountain forest northwest of the Back Mountain's entrance, Yang Ying was walking forward with his sword in hand.
He had just found traces of a demon beast nearby.
Judging from the marks on the ground and the teeth marks on its body, it should be a tiger demon beast about five meters long. Judging from the traces of food on the ground, the bite force of the tiger demon beast was extremely shocking.
Yang Ying ran forward for half a quarter of an hour and saw a huge white tiger standing on the huge rock in front of him. It was facing Yang Ying from the side, looking majestic and domineering.
The white tiger heard the movement on its side and turned its head to look at Yang Ying.
Yang Ying saw a pair of red eyes staring at him. A pair of red eyes, combined with a white body, gave people a strange feeling.
An illustrated handbook flashed in Yang Ying's mind. Comparing it to such an obvious characteristic, he immediately understood that it was a Red-eyed White Tiger.
The Red-eyed White Tiger stared at Yang Ying and slowly bent down. With a howl, it flew down from the huge rock.
Seeing the Red-eyed White Tiger lunging at him, Yang Ying focused his mind and calmed his mind. He circulated the Soaring Movement Arts and appeared behind the tiger. The tiger placed its front paw on the ground and lifted its hips.
Yang Ying dodged to the side, and at the same time, he raised his sword and stabbed at the Red-eyed White Tiger.
The Red-eyed White Tiger was in pain and immediately became ferocious. Yang Ying was prepared for this, so he flashed again and slashed at the Red-eyed White Tiger at the same time.
Yang Ying used all his strength in this attack, and the long sword stabbed deeply into the white tiger's head.
"Ding! Congratulations to Host for killing a rank 7 beast Red-eyed White Tiger. Obtained 50 source energy!"
Yang Ying quickly obtained the tiger whip, as well as its fur, and continued to rush forward.
Five days passed.
This morning, Yang Ying stood at the foot of a small mountain. On the mountainside of this small mountain, there was a pond called Cold Pond. And this was also his destination for this trip.
It was rumored that someone had once found a Water Cloud Beast in this Cold Pond. At this time, he had also successfully advanced to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement.
Yang Ying rested at the foot of the mountain, and only after he had fully recovered did he walk towards the waist of the mountain. When he arrived at the waist of the mountain, he didn't encounter any other demon beasts.
Seeing this scene, Yang Ying thought to himself, there might be a powerful demon beast in front of me! This area is all its territory?"
He looked at the mountain waist and saw a ten meter square pond in front of him. A thin layer of mist formed above the pond.
Yang Ying compared this place with the Cold Pond in his memory. In such a strange pond, even if there were no Water Cloud Beast, other demon beasts would still appear.
He carefully walked towards the pond. Until he arrived at the pond, he did not find any demon beasts.
He came to the edge of the pond and carefully observed the surroundings of the pond. He used his mind to sense the surroundings, but did not find any traces of other demon beasts.
He didn't know if it was because he had obtained the memory of the original owner of this body, but when Yang Ying used his mind to sense the surroundings a few days ago, he found that his senses were much more sensitive than those of cultivators of the same level.
This was also one of the main reasons why he had been able to escape danger time and time again in the forest.
Only then did Yang Ying focus his attention on the cold pond. The water in the cold pond was clear. Occasionally, small drops of liquid would form on the surface of the pond. This must be the origin of the mist above the cold pond.
