Chapter 8 - Demonic Boar
🕑 Added 2024-06-14 03:51:59 +0000 UTCAfter he recovered from the shock, Leyvi laughed and immediately lifted Anda and spun around together. Anda who was initially feeling down for her husband cheered up again. She swore in her heart that she would refine the best pills for her husband.
Leyvi was happy for Anda. When there were more suitable talent appeared later, he would give it to her. If not, he would find people that deserved it.
Right now, he needed to find more spirit herbs first.
"Anda, I'm going down the mountain to find the spirit herbs first. You get familiar with the new talent, alright?" Anda nodded.
Leyvi went back to his house first to get his usual bag for storing spirit herbs, and then he immediately went down the mountain toward the sect gate. Along the way, he heard multiple complaints from other sect disciples about their missing spirit stones and alchemy products.
From the beginning to now, nobody ever knew who or what stole from them. As a result, more and more disciple decided to give their belongings to the sect and exchange them for contribution points. It was much safer than being stolen. If they needed anything, they could just trade again and use it right away.
Leyvi was dumbfounded. What kind of heaven-defying abilities does the small monkey have actually? They still didn't know that a small monkey was the culprit the whole time.
After a while, Leyvi arrived at the gate. Every time a disciple of the sect went in and out, they needed the sect ID card to be scanned by the array scanner. This was a part of the security of the sect. The array scanner would scan the card and the person.
If the blood and the qi imprint of the ID card did not match the holder, the sect elder stationed at the gate would immediately be alerted, and then come and arrest the suspect.
Once in a while, there would be some rogue cultivator who was not affiliated with any sect, clan, or organization who would kill or steal from the disciple of the Mountain Dew Sect.
Those without the knowledge would use the ID card to infiltrate the sect, get caught, tortured, and killed miserably. The corpse would be hanged outside the sect gate to warn the other evildoers.
Leyvi went out of the northern gate of the sect without any problem. He was heading north of the sect toward the biggest forest area in the southern region of the Cloud Continent, Triad Forest.
Although it was the biggest forest in the southern region, it was relatively safe compared to other places because it was surrounded by three tier-1 sects which were Mountain Dew Sect, South Armament Sect, and Mystical Array Valley.
A tier-1 sect must have at least a Core Formation realm cultivator to be considered as one. South Armament Sect which was located northeast of Mountain Dew Sect was a sect that specialized in making spirit weapons. While Mystical Array Valley, which was located northwest of Mountain Dew Sect, specialized in array formation.
Only Mountain Dew Sect did not specialize in anything as it operate on different kinds of values. Mountain Dew Sect preferred their disciple to pick their own path. The real heritage of Mountain Dew Sect was the countless manuals, books, skills, and different kinds of knowledge stored in The Scripture Hall.
As long as one was able to accumulate enough contribution points, most of the time, they would be able to get their hand on the thing that would allow them to start their path.
After walking for a while, Leyvi arrived at the periphery of the Triad Forest. He immediately took the usual path he always treads on to the area where he found the spirit herbs.
He traveled for 10 kilometers in the forest and finally reached the place where the wild spirit herb had grown the last time he went here. It was almost dark.
Since he already picked the wild spirit herbs here less than 2 weeks ago, obviously there won't be any left for now. It usually took at least a year for any common grass and plant to be able to absorb spiritual energy and become a spirit herb.
"Huh? Weird." He definitely picked everything here last time, but there was a spirit herb left here.
"Probably missed it." Leyvi picked it up and threw it in the bag.
He decided to go deeper into the forest this time.
After walking a few kilometers north, he suddenly sensed something. He immediately climbed a tall tree next to him. His climbing movements were so smooth, that he looked like a real monkey, just without a tail.
The trees in the forest were quite big and tall. The average trees here were around 30 meters tall. Leyvi landed on a branch 25 meters high. He looked below and saw a demonic beast moving in the area.
It was the demonic boar that chased him last time!
Leyvi was excited. This demonic boar would be the first target of his Fiery Trailblazer martial skill.
Suddenly he hesitated. Was he strong enough to kill it? What if it didn't die? The demonic boar would be enraged and retaliate.
Leyvi had no time to think for long, he steeled his resolve.
He circulated his spiritual qi and activated his fiery leg. Leyvi's right foot was burning fiercely. He was pouring as much spiritual qi as he could handle.
When the power in his right foot reached maximum, he dashed downward towards the demonic boar with a very high momentum.
"BOOM!!"
A small bloody crater appeared after the impact! The forest area nearby was shaking, and the leaves were rustling for a few seconds.
Leyvi finally killed a demonic beast for the first time in his life. Although it was just a low-ranked demonic beast, it was not something that could be easily killed by a Qi Refining realm cultivator.
Leyvi sweated a bit. To charge his fiery leg to the maximum, he poured about one-third of his qi to his right foot. That was a huge amount of energy spent on an attack.
That aside, he was still very satisfied. Even though it was a sneak attack that consumed a lot of his qi, it did not take away from the fact that he, Leyvi, killed a demonic beast by himself. He can't wait to go back and brag to his panda wife.
He still vividly remembers the moment the heel of his right foot collided with the head of the demonic boar, it immediately exploded to pieces.
"Looks like the Fiery Trailblazer martial skill is a lot stronger than I thought." Leyvi talked to himself.
"No, that was not entirely the case." He denied himself. When he thought about it, if it was a normal face-to-face battle, it would definitely be very hard to injure the demonic boar.
The only move he knew right now was to jump as high as he could to land a strong kick. However, while he was doing that, the boar might probably have started attacking him too or already dodged his kick.
Not to mention, the highest he can jump right now is just around 8 meters, and he won't be able to charge his fiery leg to the maximum.
After analyzing his battle, Leyvi determined a few factors that enabled his quick victory. Sneak attack, maximum power strike, higher elevation, and extra momentum from the start dash.
"Hahaha!" Leyvi laughed by himself. He was quite amused by the fact that his tree-climbing expertise actually played a big role in his first demonic beast kill. Life was truly unpredictable.
Leyvi was in a good mood.
A few minutes later, Leyvi stared at the dead demonic boar. It was quite big, at the size of a normal adult rhino. How was he supposed to bring it back to the sect? Yes, he can drag it back slowly, but that would need too much effort.
The body of a demonic beast is very precious. Cultivators can get a lot of refined spiritual energy by cooking and eating their meat. Sometimes there are parts of the demonic beast that can be used to make spirit weapons, array formations, or even alchemy ingredients.
The most important thing that comes from a demonic beast is the demonic core. It was the part with the densest and most abundant spiritual energy.
If a cultivator dies, their spiritual energy disperses from their body. However, it was not the same for demonic beast. Most of their spiritual energy remained in their body and demonic core.
There was no way in hell that he would leave the demonic boar carcass behind. It was way too valuable.
Leyvi was conflicted. He still wanted to go and find the spirit herbs, but how was he supposed to carry this carcass? Leyvi sighed. "You caused me trouble even after death."
Leyvi grabbed the leg of the dead demonic boar a tried to pull it. "Damn it! So heavy!" He cursed.
There was no way he could carry this thing around while looking for spirit herbs. He needed to bring it back to the sect first. After he went back, people were going to question him about how he managed to kill it by himself.
So much trouble! He complained.
"If only I have a space bag. My life would be easier."
The moment Leyvi wished for a space bag, the whole dead body of the demonic boar disappeared.
"What? Who is it? Who stole my demonic boar!??" Leyvi immediately shouted. He looked around and there was nobody.
Thinking that someone might kill him, Leyvi swiftly climbed the tree again and went to the top. His heart was pounding hard. He looked below and searched for the culprit, but he didn't find anyone.
Leyvi was sad that his valuable price had suddenly disappeared.
While he was grieving, he heard a familiar-sounding voice in his mind.
[The host has managed to get his hand on a demonic beast carcass and wishes for a storage place]
[Personal internal storage room unlocked]
"Huh? Toy spirit? What do you mean by that?"
[The carcass of the demonic beast is inside the internal storage room]
[The host can log in to check]
"Log in!" Leyvi's consciousness arrived in a familiar, bright room.
"The illuminated space!" Leyvi exclaimed. It was the same empty, bright place he had gone previously. However, it was not empty anymore.
"The demonic boar is here!"
