Chapter 575

The cultivation world is also about human relationships...

Watching a demon beast stronger than the Mangya Elephant being erased by such a strange method, Himeko opened her mouth, feeling a bit shocked in her heart.

No wonder everyone says that in the Shushan world, only cultivating immortality is the way out.

Sure enough.

Only cultivators have the qualifications to talk to the various dangers of the cultivation world on an equal footing.

In the cultivation world, the weak have no human rights.

After solving the Black Feather Shadow Leopard, Yun Qing pointed his finger, and the spiritual energy that was repulsive to Himeko just now gathered around them obediently.

In a short while, everyone's physical strength and internal energy were restored, and even Himeko's Honkai energy was fully recharged.

"This fierce beast attack was due to the inadequate supervision of the outer sect disciples guarding Shushan Village. I will hold an outer sect elder meeting to hold them accountable later."

"However, you solved the fierce beast at the Essence Refining and Qi Transformation stage without cultivating immortality, which also gave me a surprise."

"In this battle, you have shown the courage and means you should have, suppressing the fierce beast at the Essence Refining and Qi Transformation stage with the body of a martial artist."

"This kind of feat, I will report to the inner sect elders later, which can also be considered as accumulating merit for you to participate in the next Mountain-Opening Ceremony."

Hearing Yun Qing's promise, everyone was extremely excited.

Especially Delamont.

Jiang Xue and Himeko are both inner sect reservations, only he has to wait honestly for the mountain to open.

Being able to record this will be of great help to him entering Shushan by then.

He immediately said gratefully:

"Thank you, Elder Yun Qing."

After saying this, he looked at Jiang Xue and said softly:

"Elder Yun Qing, this Mangya Elephant..."

Yun Qing smiled brightly and shook his head.

"Since it is your spoils of war, you must make the decision. Shushan doesn't look down on a mere Mangya Elephant."

After saying this, he looked at Himeko in a friendly way, and then said:

"Since the matter is solved, I will leave first."

"You did a good job this time, but it was still a bit reckless. If it were a demon beast at the Essence Refining and Qi Transformation stage, I'm afraid you would have been wiped out."

"Most of Shushan's seniors are in seclusion now, and the clearing of demon beasts and fierce beasts in the Shushan world is not as frequent as before."

"Next time you encounter this kind of problem, it's best to activate the great formation and notify the Shushan outer sect disciples to deal with it."

Delamont and the others answered in unison.

Yun Qing didn't say much, stepped on the flying sword, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Himeko looked at the other party with some emotion, and couldn't help but fantasize that she could also be as dashing and powerful as this cultivator in the future.

"Outer sect Great Elder..."

Himeko muttered and asked curiously:

"Mr. Delamont, how is this Elder Yun Qing's strength?"

"This... I don't know very well either."

Delamont shook his head awkwardly.

"Perhaps it is the middle stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, perhaps the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, but it will not be lower than the middle stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation."

"Elder Delamont is also a powerhouse in Shushan, just always responsible for the affairs of the Shushan outer sect."

Himeko blinked and added:

"What about compared to Elder Alice?"

"Do we need to report this to Shushan?"

Drummond shook his head.

"No need. Elder Yun Qing knows about this, and he will probably send someone to handle it. Besides, the seniors of Shushan are all in seclusion."

"They are about to carry out a more dangerous exploration, so we can't disturb them at this critical juncture."

Hearing this, Miss Yinger had no other choice and could only leave it at that.

"In any case, this crisis isn't a big problem. At the very least, we didn't lose any personnel. Those who were injured have pills, and we'll repair the buildings ourselves after they are damaged."

As she spoke, Miss Yinger smiled.

"Facing an attack from an early-stage Essence Refinement beast, being able to achieve this much would likely earn praise even from Lady Lady Ningguang."

"As for repairs and such, we'll talk about those chores later."

Drummond braced himself and looked with burning eyes at the Mang-Tooth Elephant, which still exuded a fierce aura even in death.

"Now, it's time to harvest! I'm sure everyone can't wait."

"Indeed."

Miss Yinger glanced at the fiery gazes of those martial artists and nodded with a smile.

"Although we suffered quite a few injuries, this time we really made a huge profit. This is the first Essence Refinement beast in Shushan Village that completely belongs to us."

"I'll arrange for people to come and butcher it right away."

Having said that, Miss Yinger called over a martial artist and gave a few instructions. Immediately, the martial artist nodded excitedly, took quite a few people, and left in a hurry.

Himeko watched their actions with curiosity and said softly:

"It seems that a beast is of extraordinary significance to you."

"That's for sure!"

Drummond nodded decisively and said in a deep voice:

"Any beast is a precious cultivation resource, which is why we often take the risk to go out and hunt them."

"But the Shushan world belongs to immortal cultivators after all, so we don't dare to leave Shushan Village by more than a thousand miles."

"The beasts we hunt are at most at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Occasionally, we can get Essence Refinement beasts, but only when Captain Jean and Lady Lady Ningguang send us some."

"We have never obtained a whole Essence Refinement beast before. This beast is too important to us."

Himeko became interested and asked curiously:

"Can you tell me about it now?"

Drummond nodded and said:

"Beasts are creatures that have evolved by absorbing spiritual Qi; strictly speaking, they are products of failed evolution."

"Those that succeed in evolution and awaken their bloodlines are called demon beasts."

"Beasts contain a large amount of spiritual power, so they are one of the favorite ingredients for immortal cultivators and demon beasts."

Himeko realized and muttered:

"I thought demon beasts were the favorite ingredients for immortal cultivators."

"That's why I said, just one of them..."

Drummond pursed his lips and continued:

"Demon beasts are more valuable than beasts, whether it's their fur, bones, flesh, internal organs, inner cores, etc."

"All can be turned into something magical by immortal cultivators and become many alchemy materials."

"By the same token, immortal cultivators are also the favorite food of demon beasts..."

"This has also led to a situation in the immortal cultivation world where humans and demons cannot coexist. Of course, this is not absolute. I don't know the specific explanation, but when Miss Himeko joins Shushan, someone should be able to tell you."

Himeko nodded thoughtfully.

To put it simply, immortal cultivators and demon beasts are each other's food chain, and beasts are the existence at the very bottom of the food chain.

This understanding also gave Himeko a deeper understanding of the power of immortal cultivators.

"For immortal cultivators, beasts are ingredients that replenish True Essence and taste delicious."

"And for martial artists, beasts are treasures from head to toe."

"The weapon Miss Himeko used just now was forged from the bones of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment beast."

Drummond added, and Himeko was a bit surprised.

"Mid-stage Foundation Establishment bones?"

"And it wasn't even the hardest spine or skull."

At this, Himeko suddenly realized.

"Beast bones are the best materials for forging martial artist weapons. My Flying Rainbow Sword was forged from the bones of an early-stage Essence Refinement beast."

"It was also a treasure given to me by True Monarch Moon-Carver back then. Although it's not a magical treasure, it is the ultimate weapon that mortals can use."
