Longevity Begins With The Birth Of A Daughter At An Old Age

Chapter 49: Third Tier Monster Beast Meat

After a day of traveling, Su Qing entered the tent to rest after eating. She took out a talisman and slapped it on her body, instantly making her dusty and grass-stained clothes clean as new.

"It's a pity I can't take a bath!" Su Qing sighed in her heart. Ever since they started traveling, she hadn't had a bath for a long time.

She reached for the storage bag at her waist, intending to take out the bedding inside, but was suddenly startled. There was an extra storage bag on her waist.

Taking off the storage bag, she quickly used a spell to examine it carefully. What she saw made her shudder in fear.

This storage bag actually belonged to Xiao Yi!

She had known Xiao Yi for a long time, but like Xu Mu, their relationship was purely that of a client and a merchant. Later, when she heard that the Soul Refining Sect was coming, the Chi family didn't want to take her in, and the Song family was struggling to protect themselves, so she took the initiative to find Xiao Yi.

Having known each other for so long, she naturally recognized Xiao Yi's storage bag. There was a red flower embroidered on it.

"Didn't Xiao Yi already die? How did his storage bag end up with me? Could it be a gift from Xie Chong?" Su Qing's gaze flickered, and she felt a little scared. She wanted to throw it away, but she was also curious to see what was inside.

If it really was Xiao Yi's storage bag, then she would be lucky!

"Just take a look! If there's nothing inside, then throw it away!" Su Qing secretly thought.

There was no mark on the storage bag, so she easily refined it. She opened it and found that there were no magical artifacts or spirit stones she had imagined, only a secret manual and a black jade token.

"The Heaven-Replenishing Technique? Isn't this the cultivation method Xiao Yi practiced? What does this mean?" She felt that it wasn't given by Xiao Yi, but by someone else, most likely someone who knew her.

After flipping through the secret manual, she became even more certain of this.

"Someone wants to help me but doesn't want to reveal their identity? Who could it be?" Su Qing suddenly felt a little excited.

Originally, she was completely lost about the future, but now that she knew there were experts secretly protecting her, she immediately became full of confidence.

"The person who killed Xiao Yi is at least at the Qi Refining Late Stage. Tomorrow, I'll test the Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators in the team!"

"No, when Xiao Yi had an accident, all the Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators in the team were together. It shouldn't be them. It's very likely that it's someone from the other teams!"

"Regardless, I'll try them all. As long as they have the intention to protect me, it shouldn't be difficult to find out!"

Afterward, she picked up the Heaven-Replenishing Technique and started studying it, preparing to modify her cultivation method. She had almost reached the limit of the Cauldron Furnace Method, and if she didn't modify it soon, it would be too late.

As for the Qi Gathering part, she didn't pay much attention to it because Xiao Yi had told her that before the cultivation method reached a profound realm, recklessly gathering Qi would result in impure internal Qi, which would be harmful and useless. Moreover, the person from whom Qi was gathered must not have leaked Yang Qi and must have a pure body. It couldn't be used casually.

Even if she wanted to gather Qi, she had to prepare in advance.

...

Late at night!

The sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rumbling, and raindrops fell like pearls, making the leaves rustle.

Xu Mu and his group of more than twenty people had cast a spell to avoid the rain and were patrolling around the camp behind two Qi Refining Late Stage cultivators.

"There's a monster beast!" In the pitch-black darkness, a green light suddenly appeared, and Lu Zhen, who was in charge of leading the team, immediately reminded them.

Xu Mu and the others immediately used their spells to release green wind blades, shooting them towards the location of the green light.

Roar!

A low roar came from the forest, and a black shadow dodged the attacks and rushed towards them at high speed.

"Beast! You're seeking death!" Lu Zhen flicked his sleeve, and a green light flew out, instantly hitting the approaching black shadow.

The black shadow let out a scream and tried to turn around and escape.

At this moment, several wind blades shot out from the team, completely killing the black shadow.

A team member responsible for collecting the bodies stepped forward and used a spell to examine the situation.

Xu Mu noticed that it was a black leopard the size of a calf with white fur on its hooves.

After confirming its death, the team members began to divide it.

"It's a Second Tier monster beast, the Cloud-Stepping Leopard!" Lu Zhen frowned.

"This is already the third one we've encountered!" Wu Lan beside him sighed lightly.

As the team ventured deeper into the area, the large number of people became a strong attraction for the monster beasts. They encountered a dozen or so monster beasts every day, and the proportion of Second Tier monster beasts was increasing.

Xu Mu's gaze flickered, knowing that it was almost time to split up.

The next day, Ouyang Ying found him.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, we can't continue following the team. Right now, we're only attracting some low-level monster beasts, which we can barely handle. If we attract Foundation Building Stage ones, it will be troublesome!"

With the current number of teams, it is certain to attract Foundation Building stage demonic beasts.

After all, even ants can fill their stomachs!

"I understand! Let's leave the team today and take another route to Liyang Sect!"

Xu Mu nodded and then took the opportunity to lead everyone out of the team and headed towards the southwest.

As for Su Qing, it seems that she has attached herself to other Qi Refining stage cultivators, and he has already given her the secret manual, so he can be considered to have done his utmost.

He just doesn't want to bother anymore!

Regarding Xu Mu and the others leaving, most of the people in the main force didn't have much reaction except for taking a few more glances.

Because since a few days ago, there have been people leaving the team one after another.

However, those people are all very strong, either led by a Qi Refining stage cultivator or all of them are experienced in battles at the Qi Refining stage.

All of these teams have the ability to hunt down third-stage demonic beasts, as long as they don't have the misfortune of encountering fourth-stage demonic beasts or certain dangerous situations, there is a high chance of reaching the Liyang Sect area.

Although Xu Mu's team also has three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, they obviously don't seem to have much combat power.

But that has nothing to do with them!

They made their own decision and will bear the consequences themselves!

Most people were indifferent, but there were also a few who had ulterior motives.

Soon, another pair of people left, all of them at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, each with a fierce aura and a fierce gaze. They obviously were experienced hands who often entered the jungle. The direction they chose was the same as the one Xu Mu and the others had left.

Pity could be seen in the eyes of the crowd, as the same situation had happened several times before.

Not long after.

Deep in the dense forest!

The surroundings were in a mess, with traces left by spells and magical artifacts everywhere.

"I knew there would be some short-sighted fools!"

Xu Mu put away his storage bag, turned around, and left, with ashes flying in the air behind him.

...

In the evening!

The setting sun was going down in the west!

Several people set up their tents, while on the other side, Ouyang Ying had already prepared the food.

A whole roasted leg of a third-stage horned deer and a large pot of wild vegetable and mushroom soup.

"Ouyang Fellow Daoist is really skilled!" Xu Mu couldn't help but praise after taking a bite.

No one expected that Ouyang Ying, who only had one hand left and looked terrifying, would have such a high culinary accomplishment.

"Just something I do when I'm bored!"

Ouyang Ying cut off a small piece of roasted meat and fed it to the flame rat on his shoulder, continuing, "And thanks to Fellow Daoist Xu's hunting of the third-stage demonic beast, otherwise, even with good culinary skills, it would be impossible to achieve this taste with ordinary meat!"

Speaking of this, Ouyang Ying and Zhang Shouren both looked at Xu Mu with astonishment.

Other teams would avoid third-level demonic beasts, and even if they encountered them, they would mainly rely on scare tactics. But this person, on the other hand, actively went hunting.

And he succeeded!

This also made the two realize that Xu Mu's strength was not simple.

Although Lan Shijin and Leng Yuening were surprised, they weren't too surprised because they knew Xu Mu's strength.

Xu Mu tore off a piece of meat and wanted to feed it to Xiao Ling'er, but unfortunately, the little girl was not interested in meat. She held a half-green, half-red fruit and nibbled on it, with saliva all over her chin.

Then he stuffed it into his own mouth and said with a smile, "Just something I did on a whim!"

In fact, the reason he took the initiative to hunt the demonic beasts was not only to prevent them from approaching and threatening the others, but also for his own purposes.

Recently, he discovered that eating the meat of high-level demonic beasts had a far greater effect than the Fasting Pill, and it could completely be used to improve his Body Refining cultivation.

Now that his Light Body Technique had reached the Grandmaster level, and his Fire Manipulation Technique couldn't be improved for a while, the next step naturally was to improve his Thundering Sword Technique and prepare to elevate it to the Grandmaster level. By then, his strength and lifespan might improve significantly.

"This time, following Fellow Daoist Xu is the right choice! I might not have the chance to eat meat from a third-level demonic beast even once in a year!" Zhang Shouren laughed.

Both of them were very tactful and did not inquire about Xu Mu's strength.

The energy contained in the meat of a third-level demonic beast was enormous. After eating a few pieces, the others couldn't eat anymore and rested, only Xu Mu continued to eat leisurely.

When they were almost finished eating, Xu Mu took out a new piece of demonic beast meat and continued to roast and eat it over the fire.

At the same time, in the system interface, the experience of the Thundering Sword Technique was constantly increasing.

[Thundering Sword Technique +1]!

[Thundering Sword Technique +1]!

[Thundering Sword Technique +1]!

"Let me help you!"

Leng Yuening suddenly emerged from the tent and said in a buzzing voice. Her fair face was flushed in the glow of the fire.

Xu Mu was taken aback for a moment and smiled, "Okay!"

Because she had to stay up for the second half of the night, Lan Shijin had already rested.

Ye Yingying had been feeling sleepy recently, and coupled with taking care of Xiao Ling'er during the day, she also went to bed early.

As for Ouyang Ying, Zhang Shouren, and his grandson, they could be considered non-existent.

By the campfire at night, there was only one man and one woman, one roasting and one eating.

...

Over a month later.

Deep in the Cloud Peak Mountains.

Xu Mu, covered in blood, was forming hand seals, continuously condensing a flame flying knife, and attacking a green figure not far away.
