Chapter 436

"But he feels that he cannot absorb a second drop of peak Foundation Establishment essence blood in a short time."

"He must first polish his dantian and physique to be more powerful."

Lumine and Paimon looked at each other, and Paimon scratched her head and said:

"Lumine, I seem to have heard of this cultivation method somewhere."

"Isn't this the cultivation method of those Xuanjia Liuli Beasts in the Jiu You Secret Realm? It's not much different, but basically the same. It's also about polishing a powerful physique."

Hearing this, Paimon clapped her hands excitedly.

"That's right! Xuanjia Liuli Beast! The Sect Master said that the meat of that kind of demon beast is the best in the entire cultivation world!"

As she spoke, Paimon started drooling.

Aether was somewhat interested in the Xuanjia Liuli Beast and said softly:

"Is this Xuanjia Liuli also an existence that polishes the physique?"

Lumine nodded.

"The Xuanjia Liuli Beast is a freak among demon beasts. It doesn't cultivate spells or demon power, only the flesh."

"It can even cross tribulations purely by relying on its flesh."

Aether's eyes lit up.

"Doesn't that mean that the blood energy of this kind of demon beast is full to an unimaginable degree?"

"More than that."

Lumine spread her hands.

"The Sect Master said that the Xuanjia Liuli Beast has a powerful physique, and its bones are even the best materials for refining many spiritual treasures."

"Its scales cannot be injured without magic treasures."

"It's also a top-tier medicinal material for alchemy. The most critical thing is that this guy has the demon core of a demon beast and the physique of a fierce beast."

Aether swallowed his saliva, already imagining how suitable the Xuanjia Liuli Beast was for their Fierce Beast Martial Arts.

If you eat this meat, wouldn't you be able to fly to the sky?

However, before Aether could speak, Lumine waved her hands repeatedly.

"... Don't ask me to hunt Xuanjia Liuli Beasts for you. Those guys are in the Jiu You Secret Realm, not to mention that the Jiu You Secret Realm itself is now in turmoil because of the Seven Kings of Jiu You."

"The Xuanjia Liuli Beast is in the forbidden zone of life in the secret realm. Even the Seven Kings of Jiu You don't dare to go to that place."

"I'm just a small cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. Am I going there to die?"

"In the Xuanjia Liuli Beast herd, there are existences at the late stage of Qi Refining. Even Senior Seeing Zhongli would have to kneel if he faced them."

"You'd better not torture me. I still want to live for a few more years."

Hearing Lumine say this, Aether felt a bit regretful.

But then he let go of his obsession with the Xuanjia Liuli Beast. No matter how good that thing was, he couldn't risk Lumine's life.

He knew very well what kind of place the Jiu You Secret Realm was.

What's more, it was the forbidden zone of life in the Jiu You Secret Realm.

Aether pondered in his heart and said softly:

"No need for Xuanjia Liuli Beasts. Just help me hunt some basic fierce beasts and demon beasts."

"There are quite a few peak Foundation Establishment fierce beasts here in Jueyun Karst, but we don't dare to enter rashly."

"For one thing, Jueyun Karst is Liyue's territory, and you also know that the Abyss Order is not welcomed in Liyue. Large-scale actions might be seen as a thorn in Liyue's side."

Lumine shook her head with a smile.

"You're being too euphemistic! Your Abyss Order is not welcomed in the entire Teyvat, and most importantly..."

"There are many people eyeing the fierce beast resources in Jueyun Karst. Liyue is the big head, and they still need to use fierce beasts to cultivate martial artists."

"Your Abyss Order competing with them for fierce beasts is equivalent to you running to Liyue to rob them in their eyes."

"If Senior Sister Lady Ningguang and the others find out, they will definitely send a martial arts army to crusade against you."

"Tens of thousands of acquired masters, thousands of innate masters, plus a bunch of cultivators—even if you grew four pairs of wings, you wouldn't be able to fly away."

"You don't want to be chased by a Shushan acting head at the late stage of Qi Refining, do you?"

Aether's face darkened. He ignored Lumine's mockery and continued:

"In short, the most important thing is that peak Foundation Establishment fierce beasts are the most important to us, but such fierce beasts are basically in the depths of Jueyun Karst."

"It is estimated that there are hundreds of such existences in there. Even if I were surrounded by this pile of peak Foundation Establishment fierce beasts, it would be a bit troublesome."

"What's more, I can't just take action in Teyvat."

"The Abyss Order hasn't had any harvest for a long time since that peak Foundation Establishment fierce beast."

"But in the future Teyvat, where the situation is changing, we need Fierce Beast Martial Arts."

"So, I want to ask you to help me hunt some fierce beasts in Shushan."

Lumine curled her lips and waved her hand:

"That's not a problem. The Sect Master asks me to go find fierce beasts and demon beasts to fight every day."

"Anyway, those things wouldn't exchange for many contribution points if I sold them back. Giving you some is fine."

"But in Shushan, fierce beasts are at least at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and the most common ones are at the peak of Foundation Establishment."

"Now, with the continuous abundance of spiritual energy, fierce beasts and demon beasts at the early stage of Foundation Establishment have become the mainstream."

"If I want to kill, I will basically only look for fierce beasts and demon beasts at the Foundation Establishment stage. Can you handle them?"

Hearing this, Aether was overjoyed.

"That couldn't be better."

259. Giving Aether a little bit of "cultivator shock"

"Good?"

Lumine rolled her eyes and complained:

"Do you know what level Foundation Establishment fierce beasts and demon beasts are at?"

"Your subordinates can absorb the essence blood of peak Foundation Establishment, but if they get contaminated with a trace of essence blood from a Foundation Establishment fierce beast, they will directly explode and die, with no room for turning back."

"If your subordinates dare to touch the demon core of a Foundation Establishment demon beast, they will be eroded to death."

"Foundation Establishment and Foundation Establishment are completely two types of life."

"Don't think that creating a Fierce Beast Martial Arts is worth being proud of."

"In the final analysis, no matter what kind of martial arts it is, it's just a mortal. Fierce beasts and demon beasts are things that cultivators have to face."

Lumine's words didn't dampen Aether's enthusiasm too much.

Instead, it made Aether yearn for the Foundation Establishment level even more.

"In short, if you can, please help me hunt some Foundation Establishment fierce beasts and demon beasts."

"Of course, the most important thing is still peak Foundation Establishment fierce beasts, and late Foundation Establishment is also fine."

Seeing him so persistent, Lumine didn't try to persuade him anymore.

Anyway, it's Aether's subordinates who are unlucky, not himself.

With Aether's strength, even if Foundation Establishment demon beasts and fierce beasts have an impact on him, the impact won't be too great.

As for those Abyss people...

She is only responsible for providing resources. Whether they die or not, Lumine is too lazy to care.

"Whatever you want. But you guy are really annoying when you order people around. I'm a dignified Divine Body cultivator, and I actually have to work for you?"

Lumine complained unhappily, and Aether felt a bit helpless.

This matter, in the final analysis, is indeed what he owes Lumine.

After thinking about it, Aether still said:

"I won't let you work for nothing. If you need anything, you can tell me. With the ability of the Abyss Order to cover all of Teyvat, collecting things is still quite easy."

"Forget it."

Lumine curled her lips.

"What can you help with regarding the things I want?"

"I want third-grade spiritual pills to cultivate, I need spiritual treasures, and I need a spirit beast like Senior Sister Miss Ganyu and Little Qingluan."

"Can you help me with that?"

Aether was silent for a moment and said faintly:

"Except for things for cultivators, if we could get these things, why would we need your help to hunt fierce beasts?"

"Then don't talk about it."
