Chapter 59: Don

Mountain belly world.

It had already turned into a land of frost, with ice crystals everywhere.

A scarred demonic beast dodged and moved in the cold air.

But the next moment.

A huge frost giant sword suddenly rushed out from the thick cold air, pinning it fiercely to the earth.

Roar!

The demonic beast whimpered.

But the cold air entered its body, quickly turning it into an ice sculpture, completely shattering it.

Meng Zhangqing’s figure appeared slowly, landing in front of the demonic beast’s corpse.

His situation didn’t look very good either.

The clothes on his upper body were almost completely shattered, with only threads hanging, and there were many claw marks on the surface of his skin.

Fortunately, they weren’t deep.

It could be considered minor skin injuries.

“Truly speak of the devil.”

Meng Zhangqing took out new clothes to change into.

This demonic beast was called the Silver Wind Purple Luo Marten.

Its specialty was the art of assassination.

Its speed could be said to be extremely fast.

If he hadn’t upgraded his *Sword Steps* to the realm of perfection, plus the cold air affecting its speed, he really wouldn’t have been able to react.

But even so.

His body was still grazed a few times.

“Must hurry to upgrade my body-refining cultivation.”

Although his own offensive power was already very fierce, when encountering this kind of assassination style, he still had to rely on his own defense.

To meet all changes with constancy.

Thinking this, Meng Zhangqing walked to the jade platform.

Seeing a box placed on the jade platform.

It looked quite large.

Meng Zhangqing opened it, and what came into view were two stones emitting white light.

“What is this?”

Meng Zhangqing was stunned.

Until now, what he had encountered were basically elixirs and spirit herbs.

Stones?

It was his first time seeing them.

“Ores?”

Meng Zhangqing frowned slightly.

He picked up one to observe carefully.

It looked a bit like an ore, but it seemed to contain strange power.

“Forget it, I’ll study it later.”

Meng Zhangqing put it away, then turned and left, preparing to go to another opportunity point.

Not long after he left.

Two figures walked into the mountain belly world.

Both were very tall.

Their physiques were even more vigorous and strong.

It was the Shi brothers that Meng Zhangqing was ‘thinking about’.

“How come this place has also been patronized?”

Shi Yao looked at the gradually melting ice crystals around him, broke off a piece with his right hand, and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it with a crunch. “Along the way, there have been three or four already, and they are all empty inside.”

“It should be the work of the same person; those places all have some residual cold air, consistent with this one.”

Shi Guang scanned left and right.

Perhaps feeling a bit thirsty, he also broke off a piece and ate it.

“Then this person is quite powerful, being able to slaughter so many third-level demonic beasts alone.”

Shi Yao felt he hadn’t eaten enough and broke off a few more pieces.

“Hmm, he is a strong one.”

Shi Guang nodded.

Then his nose twitched, as if he had sensed something.

The ground under his feet exploded violently.

He ran forward and arrived at the jade platform.

Shi Yao also followed quickly.

“This is...”

The jade box was wide open; although it was empty inside, Shi Guang’s eyes lit up. “The smell of marrow stone!”

“Marrow stone!”

Shi Yao took a deep breath. “It really is!”

“It seems this is the place the stinky old man wanted us to come, but it has already been monkey-stolen.”

Slap!

“Don’t misuse idioms; it’s ‘first come, first served’!”

Shi Guang slapped him to correct him.

“Is that so?”

“Of course.”

“Fine, you’re the smart one.”

Shi Yao muttered a few times. “Then what now? The things have been taken away; do we want to go and snatch them back?”

“Pay attention to quality; Mom said we can’t point our fists at our own people.”

Shi Guang said. “We can exchange other things with him.”

“What if he doesn’t want to exchange?”

Shi Yao asked.

“He shouldn’t; for ordinary people, marrow stone is just an ore and has no use, but we are stone people, and this thing is much more useful than elixirs.”

Shi Guang thought for a moment and said.

“Okay.”

Who let his brother be smarter than him; he could only listen to his brother in everything.

“Let’s go; this person shouldn’t have gone far, we might be able to catch up.”

“Good!”

The two rushed toward the entrance.

――

The fourth day.

Although the secret realm was dangerous and the demonic beasts had become exceptionally powerful.

But those who entered were disciples cultivated by the Taixuan Sect.

Not some loose cultivators from outside.

The foundation of strength was there.

If one person couldn’t do it, they would team up, so the light red opportunity points also began to be cleared quickly one by one.

By now, almost all had been cleared.

It was just that when they arrived at the deep red opportunity points, they found that they were gone too.

Clean.

They just assumed they had been taken by those top geniuses, so they rushed to the last opportunity point one after another.

After all, on the map, the color of this opportunity point was even more vivid than those deep reds!

It belonged to dark red.

Clearly, the difficulty was greater.

It should not have been taken yet.

Even if it probably had nothing to do with them, at least they could join in the fun.

――

A remote valley.

The ground here was fragmented, with deep pits everywhere.

There was residual true qi, and demonic qi that hadn’t dissipated.

“It seems this place has also been taken.”

Meng Zhangqing’s figure appeared slowly.

He looked around, feeling some regret.

But this was also within his expectations; how could he swallow them all alone?

The other top geniuses weren’t here to sleep.

Basically, they had all broken through to the Sea Opening Realm.

“One cannot be greedy.”

Meng Zhangqing’s mouth curled slightly.

His harvest was actually already very high.

Nine deep red opportunity points, and he had taken five!

Also including some light red opportunity points.

As long as he passed by, he would clear them along the way.

So there were many resources lying in Meng Zhangqing’s storage ring.

Even if he gained nothing later, it was a trip worth it.

“Now it’s time to go to the last one.”

Meng Zhangqing took out the map.

The point in the very center had a color even deeper than deep red.

Clearly, the demonic beast guarding it must be very powerful.

So Meng Zhangqing didn’t go when he broke through to the Sea Opening Realm.

In case he couldn’t beat it, it would be a waste of time.

But now he could go and try.

And he guessed that quite a few people were already there.
