Chapter 118: Obtaining a Second-tier Monster Core, Heaven Does Not Disappoint Those Who Try

Three months later.

The Cloud Mist Mountain Range seemed to have entered the season of September; the autumn air was crisp, and a large number of Monster Beasts were frequently active.

This was also the season when the number of Monster Beasts was at its highest.

If a Loose Cultivator were to enter the Cloud Mist Mountain Range at this time, they could also obtain a massive harvest.

At this very moment, in a certain valley, a Cultivator was fleeing in a panic.

Behind them, a giant snake over dozens of meters long appeared; this was a Second-tier Demonic Beast, the Great Rock Snake Monster, a Second-tier Demonic Beast capable of manipulating soil and rock, possessing formidable strength.

At the same time, the scales on its body were condensed from rock, granting it strong resistance to spells.

Even if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator were to battle it, they would find it an immense headache.

One moment of carelessness, and one would be instantly strangled and turned into food in its belly.

Roar!

At this moment, this Second-tier Demonic Beast had already locked onto this Cultivator, moving at extreme speed, instantly arriving before the other party, flicking its red snake tongue, its body permeated with terrifying baleful Qi.

However, there was no panic on the Cultivator's face; instead, they revealed an expression of a scheme having succeeded.

Before this Second-tier Demonic Beast could even figure out what was happening.

Rumble~~

A large array instantly erupted; this was a First-tier High-grade Ice Array, capable of stimulating the power of ice.

Being within the array, one would be frozen by the power of ice, or have their movements slowed.

Naturally, such a First-tier large array could not kill the Great Rock Snake Monster, but it could slow down the opponent's movements.

In an instant, its massive body was frozen by the ice, and its entire body remained obediently in place, unable to move.

Of course, this Cultivator could not escape either, and was frozen along with it.

"Go to hell."

Just at this moment, a stunning female Cultivator instantly killed her way out, taking out a Superior Magic Treasure, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, in her hand.

Rumble~~

The next second, an incomparably sharp golden light erupted from this Superior Magic Treasure, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, striking solidly onto the body of this Second-tier Demonic Beast.

Immediately, this Second-tier Demonic Beast could not even struggle, and was instantly cut into two halves.

Blood sprayed out like a fountain, splashing all over the ground with a splashing sound.

The Second-tier Demonic Beast, the Great Rock Snake Monster, widened its eyes, seemingly unable to believe that it had actually been slain just like this.

But regardless, it was unable to withstand this fatal blow, and immediately breathed its last.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

Right then, a figure also walked out from the distant jungle; it was none other than Zhou Sui.

"As expected of Senior Leng, this hand of Golden Flood Dragon Scissors is used with such divine mastery, even a Second-tier Demonic Beast was instantly slain by you; truly impressive." The person who acted as bait just now was precisely Zhou Sui's clone.

This clone was responsible for acting as bait, luring the Second-tier Demonic Beast out of its lair.

Therefore, it did not matter even if the clone died.

If it could be exchanged for a Second-tier Demonic Beast, that would be a massive profit.

Clearly, judging from the result, it was indeed a complete victory.

The so-called cost was merely sacrificing a clone; this was an incredibly cost-effective deal.

"How are you not more impressive? Clearly we came out to hunt Second-tier Demonic Beasts, yet you only dispatched two clones."

"Even if it failed, your true body would be completely unharmed, and you could still reap the rewards."

Leng Yuexi looked at Zhou Sui with annoyance.

She had completely surrendered to this man; clearly he came out with her to hunt Second-tier Demonic Beasts, yet his true body had no intention of appearing, instead sending his clones to come; he was simply afraid of death to the extreme, and she didn't even know what to say.

"Senior is too kind, I am merely a Qi Refining Cultivator."

"Facing a fierce and malevolent Second-tier Demonic Beast, one cannot be too cautious."

"Moreover, Senior's cultivation is profound and your strength is formidable; presumably, a mere Second-tier Demonic Beast is no match for Senior."

"Ahem, alright, let us hurry and collect the carcass of this Second-tier Demonic Beast."

"The scales, snake meat, snake heart, and snake blood on it are all good things, and are of great value."

Zhou Sui ignored the trace of resentment in Leng Yuexi's words; he walked straight toward the carcass of the Second-tier Demonic Beast, excitedly inspecting his harvest this time.

"This bastard."

Leng Yuexi clenched her delicate fists; clearly she was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, yet she was being casually ordered around by this bastard man to hunt Monster Beasts everywhere, but for some reason, she was unable to refuse this man's request.

It seemed as if, as long as it was this man's words, she was unable to refuse.

This feeling was truly too strange, and yet too wonderful.

As if she had thought of something, her pretty face flushed red, but she quickly restrained her emotions, fearing being discovered by someone.

"I've struck it rich, I've struck it rich, this time I've struck it rich; this is a Second-tier Monster Core."

"We have finally obtained a Second-tier Monster Core."

At this moment, Zhou Sui's excited voice came over.

One could see that his hands were covered in blood at this moment, but he was holding a golden crystal the size of a pebble, which seemed to contain energy condensed to the extreme.

This was precisely a Second-tier Monster Core.

"Congratulations, you have finally obtained a Second-tier Monster Core."

"It seems you can start the furnace for Alchemy next."

"However, do you really have the confidence to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Leng Yuexi's beautiful eyes also revealed a trace of joy.

After all, for these three months, she and Zhou Sui had been hunting Second-tier Demonic Beasts in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range.

Zhou Sui would personally take action, acting as bait to lure the Second-tier Monster Beast out and lead it to the ambush site.

Then she would suddenly strike, delivering a fatal blow to the opponent.

Over these past three months, at least thirteen Second-tier Monster Beasts had been killed.

However, not a single Second-tier Monster Beast had an Inner Core inside its body.

But now, it could be considered that Heaven does not disappoint those who try, and Zhou Sui had finally obtained a Second-tier Monster Core.

In this way, it could be considered that all the materials for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill had been completely gathered.

"That's right, it's just refining a Foundation Establishment Pill, it's not a big problem."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists, his eyes filled with a look of confidence.

Over these three months, he had reduced a large amount of time spent on cultivation, basically using all his time to improve his Alchemy.

With the help of the Book Gu, he had not only raised his alchemist cultivation to the Second-tier Mid-grade realm, but had also raised the Five Elements Alchemy Formula to the Major Achievement realm.

It could be said that his current alchemist cultivation was not much worse than a Second-tier High-grade alchemist.

If even he could not refine a Foundation Establishment Pill, then no one could refine a Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Alright, since you have confidence, then let's go back."

"Anyway, if you fail, we can just come back and hunt another Second-tier Monster Beast."

"You will definitely have one opportunity after another to practice."

Leng Yuexi looked at Zhou Sui with her beautiful eyes very earnestly.

For some reason, although she was complaining with her mouth, she actually liked being alone with this man in her heart.

This gave her a feeling of being able to monopolize this man.

On the contrary, after hunting the Second-tier Monster Beast this time and obtaining the Second-tier Monster Core, she felt a bit sentimental in her heart.

Perhaps there would not be such opportunities to be alone together in the future.

"Thank you, Senior Leng."

Zhou Sui smiled slightly.

"Hmph, what are you thanking me for? It's just to repay the debt of saving my life."

Leng Yuexi's pretty face flushed red, but she turned her face away so that Zhou Sui could not see her expression.
