"Master, these are the ingredients for the Huangji Pill. I have been careful and frugal over the years and was able to collect four portions. But they may have been stored for a long time, so I don't know if they can still be used."
Zi Yue gave Xiao Feng a storage ring.
"It's not a big problem."
Xiao Feng checked various medicinal herbs in the ring carefully: "If I pick and choose, I should be able to make two furnaces of pills. You can rest assured about my success rate and quality."
"What about the things I asked you to find?"
"The Xumu root, Yangshen flower, and other materials have been prepared. The rest of the materials have also been ordered for the monsters below to find. There should be results in two days."
Zi Yue looked a little bitter: "But this Seventh Rank Soul Pregnant Branch, I am sorry, master, but I can't snatch it!"
Seventh-level treasures like these are all in other people's hands. If she could defeat them, she would have fled to the depths of the Mountains long ago.
Xiao Feng rolled his eyes and twirled the storage ring in his hand.
"What you just said is... You can't snatch it."
"Oh! Right!"
Zi Yue nodded repeatedly: "There just happened to be a mature plant of this thing. It was born in an abyss nearby a few years ago. However, in the struggle among various parties, the thing was finally taken away by an ugly gorilla."
There actually is some information.
Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows and found this big breasted woman much more pleasing to the eye.
He never expected her to be able to find seventh-grade medicinal materials. Even the system required hundreds of thousands of points for seventh-grade material. Some rare ones even require millions of points.
"Since it's been several years, how can you be sure that it didn't eat it to increase its strength? There's no need to delay taking this."
Xiao Feng was a little curious. How could Zi Yue be sure that the other party would leave it alone?
It is normal to drink this kind of spiritual amplification treasure in one gulp, and there is no need to consider keeping it to break through the bottleneck. Leaving it there will only make you dream for the rest of your life...
"Hey~ so this time, Master needs to take action." Zi Yue shook her head, looking a little scared:
"Withered Owl Ape. My Lord, you should have heard of this kind of magic beast, right? Its strength is roughly that of a seven-star Dou Huang, and its methods are strange. When we fought before, I was completely overwhelmed by it."
"That ugly gorilla has saved up a lot of treasures. I guess he wants to swallow them all in one go to activate that trace of blood and achieve evolution. Now his breath is still very stable. Obviously, he hasn't started trying yet, so he naturally kept the medicinal materials."
Withered owl ape?
Xiao Feng lowered his eyelids, twitched, and recalled the monster book he brought from the system.
In terms of the game, this thing is different from the typical monster. It has high mental attacks and high physical attacks, with thick blood and mana.
But that kind of mental attack is not that strong.
This is purely because most monsters do not have strong enough mental resistance and will not mobilize soul defense.
When they reach the seventh level and above, the defects of their bodies and fighting spirit will become apparent, and they will be suppressed and beaten by other races.
Xiao Feng smiled, stood up, and shook his robe: "Lead the way. It's better to get the herbs now, so as to avoid more trouble at night."
"Good!"
When it comes to advancement, Zi Yue became visibly excited. She changed back to her magic beast form.
After half-spreading her wings and stretching out her claws towards Xiao Feng, she said: "Master, please go ahead! The journey is somewhat long, and transforming wings with Dou Qi is not as labor-saving as growing them on the body."
"Okay. Thank you for your hard work, then?"
"No, no, no! It's really nothing!"
…
"Roar! Ugly ape, get out here!"
Purple flames surged in the sky, sweeping across the clouds like a tsunami, covering hundreds of meters above the head. From a distance, the purple light even overwhelmed the sun in the sky, changing the color of the forest.
Zi Yue, in the form of an Amethyst Winged Lion King, flapped her wings and rushed towards the cave below with the unique pressure of a sixth-level magical beast.
The spiral horn on her head was burning with flames, and she was ready to launch an attack at any time.
Apparently, while her mouth is powerful, her body is indeed scary.
It was really because she had been badly tricked by this withered owl ape before. A mental attack from it directly caused her to recuperate for two or three months before she recovered.
"If you don't come out now, you won't be able to keep your cave!"
Zi Yue kept roaring.
I waited in the sky for a long time, but didn't see any movement at the entrance of the cave. I was a little surprised for a moment.
What's wrong with this ape today?
Normally, this guy has the most violent temper. Anyone who flies over the cave will be caught and forced to fight a duel.
Why are you so depressed?
She looked back at Xiao Feng, and when she saw him nod, she mustered up the courage to gather her fighting spirit.
The spreading purple sea of fire surged back, gathering into a purple fireball at the tip of the horn and continuously compressing, and the crystals all over the body lit up at the same time.
The sun in the sky seemed to be brighter, resonating with the energy in his body.
"The concentration of this lion's blood is not low?" Xiao Feng became a little curious about Zi Yue, who didn't perform well in the original work and was only a little villain and an experienced player.
"Boom…"
A purple fireball instantly hit the entrance of the cave, and the scorching red flames swept over the mountaintop, burning the entire forest in an instant.
In the middle of the flying ashes, the entrance of the cave had been melted and deformed by the flames and was pushed into a large pit by the energy impact.
But the strange thing is that there is still no movement inside. Why is this...
Zi Yue was inexplicably irritated. Several fragments of thoughts flashed through his mind, and he realized something in an instant, and panic covered her face:
"Master, this is not good!"
"It is about to evolve now, right?" Xiao Feng's eyes were filled with golden flames, and he looked in the direction of the cave as if he could see through the thick rock layers.
"Well?" Zi Yue was stunned.
Since you know this, why don't you just do it?
In a little while, your seventh-level medicinal materials will be swallowed up by others! I wonder where you can cry when that happens!
"Haha... no hurry. Before you cross half of the river, strike in the middle of the stream."
Xiao Feng waved his hand at it and said, "If it can really cross the last step and successfully advance to the Dou Zong level, we will just get a seventh-level magic core. This thing is more useful than that Soul-Pregnant Branch."
He has a lot of experience in refining monsters into pills after this trip to Black Bullet World.
"But Master, what will you do if it fails to evolve?"
Zi Yue was somewhat helpless: "Where can I find another Soul Pregnant Branch for you then?"
"Then just melt its corpse."
Xiao Feng answered calmly, and his calm tone startled Zi Yue.
For Xiao Feng, this task is just more difficult, not impossible.
No loss either way.
"Master is truly a man of great means..." Zi Yue broke out in a cold sweat as he flattered the emperor fearfully.
I thought he was a kind person.
Who knew he was such a kind person?
Fortunately, she surrendered quickly.
Not only did she become stronger, but she also got a good backer.
"Roar..."
A dull beast roar came from the depths of the cave, and violent energy and surging breath rushed towards us.
It was as if something was struggling underground, trying to break free from this bondage.
Waves of blood mist floated out from the cave entrance.
A pressure far exceeding that of a sixth-level monster emanated from it.
"Master! Did it succeed?!" Zi Yue was extremely nervous.
Although the power that Xiao Feng had displayed before was strong enough, it was still hovering at the level of Dou Huang.
If they really faced a seventh-level monster, they would probably be defeated by the opponent in a few hits.
The difference in one level is a huge gap.
"It's shedding its bones." Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes and judged the other party's progress. "Wait a little longer... it will be time to exchange blood soon."
"Yes..." Zi Yue's teeth were chattering.
Monsters are far more sensitive to pressure than humans, and the fear of the strong is deeply rooted in their blood.
Of course, this can help them protect themselves, but it also limits their ability to fight against opponents of higher levels.
Once they encounter beings of a higher level, their fighting spirit will become like lead, and they will be unable to control it effectively.
"Roar..."
The roar coming from deep within the cave became more painful and ferocious, accompanied by the creepy sound of flesh, blood, and bones being crushed and twisted.
And that terrifying pressure gradually stabilized as it floated and swayed.
An almost materialized beam of energy shot up into the sky, and a strange spiritual wave spread out like a cocoon breaking out. The air around was stirred by this mysterious force, causing the bright scene to distort and deform.
"What a strong mental shock!"
Xiao Feng's face changed slightly. Even he felt his soul become heavy, let alone an ordinary strong man?
With just this one wave of movement spreading out, a large number of Dou Huang could lose consciousness on the spot.
This is the power of Dou Zong...
"Whoosh!"
As soon as it came into contact with the wave, Zi Yue flapped her wings in panic and retreated a long way: "Master, didn't you say that we should strike the river halfway across? Now that ugly baboon... ahem, didn't that senior succeed?"
Hit the middle stream?
Aren't they all on shore?!
Return the medicinal herbs and the magic core. Now both of their lives are going to be gone!
Oh, that's not right.
Master is an alchemist, not an ordinary Dou Huang, so he is able to survive.
Zi Yue looked at the sky with great sorrow.
It seemed that after all this time, they were confident that they could protect themselves, but it was the only one present who was at risk of losing his life at any time...
