Fang Ruotang tilted her head to listen for a moment, then asked Gu Yanjin beside her.

"Brother Yan, did you hear anything?"

Gu Yanjin not only heard it, but he even took out his magic weapon and stood in front of Fang Ruotang to protect her.

Fang Ruotang peeked out from behind to take a look.

After a while, the wild beast that had made the noise finally appeared.

"Is that a wild boar?" Fang Ruotang's eyes widened in astonishment. "How can there be such a big wild boar? What does it eat to grow so big?"

The wild boar in front of me looked like a giant, mobile house.

Its black fur was like sharp swords, and its fangs were even more terrifying; whoever it stabbed would die, exuding immense pressure.

"His eyes are all green; he might have eaten people."

Gu Yanjin felt that this wild boar was too beastly, completely different from the wild boars he had caught in the past, and the expression on its face was also too vivid.

"Cannibalism?"

Fang Ruotang was stunned.

She wasn't surprised that a wild boar would eat people; after all, she knew that pigs were omnivores, especially wild boars that lived deep in the mountains.

She was astonished that someone would be so incomprehensible as to deliver takeout to their door, as if they were worried about wild boars going hungry.

The wild beast charged forward madly, then stopped just before reaching Fang Ruotang and the others, observing them from a distance.

Gu Yanjin was now even more certain.

"This wild boar has become intelligent."

"It's normal for them to gain intelligence! After all, spiritual veins have been formed here. Living on a spiritual vein, how could they not benefit at all?"

"Okay, you stay here and don't move. I'll go take care of it first."

After Gu Yanjin finished speaking, he hadn't moved yet when the wild boar opposite him moved first. It must have been that after sizing up the little guy, the wild boar thought that he was nothing to be afraid of.

Too.

Even high-level cultivators couldn't detect the cultivation levels of these two individuals, let alone a wild boar that had just gained intelligence.

Just as Gu Yanjin began to exert his power, spiritual energy leaked from the tip of his sword. The wild boar sensed the danger, stopped abruptly, and pawed at the ground, trying to escape, but it was too late.

With spiritual energy flowing into the sword, Gu Yanjin easily cleaved the wild boar in two, splitting it straight in half from head to tail.

Fang Ruotang gagged, pinched her nose, and darted to the other side.

"Be civilized! Killing a pig and getting blood all over the place is disgusting! And the stench is so strong. You...you didn't get any blood on you, did you? Go wash up right away."

Gu Yanjin always used spiritual power to protect himself, so it was impossible for him to let such filth splash on his body, but Fang Ruotang's shout made him feel a bit disgusted.

He used several Cleansing Techniques before reaching Fang Ruotang.

"Let's not keep this wild boar; it's probably eaten people."

"No, no, I don't want this kind of wild boar. It smells so bad, it must taste really pungent. Besides, it's eaten by humans, I won't eat it."

Fang Ruotang waved her hand dismissively, as if Gu Yanjin would have fed her the wild boar meat if she had been a second too late.

The two did not linger there. The wild boar had died a gruesome death, with blood everywhere, which would soon attract other wild animals.

They weren't afraid of these newly awakened wild beasts, but they didn't want to waste their energy, and most importantly, the wild boars smelled too strong.

Even standing this far away, the stench can still waft over.

Cultivators naturally have heightened senses.

Fang Ruotang couldn't stand it any longer, so she pulled Gu Yanjin inside and told the other five people about their situation.

"Then go to an upwind spot, don't get overwhelmed by the stench. I've already set off and will be there soon. Wait for me, just in case I run into a wild boar too..."

Ye Wuxia left her words unfinished, leaving room for imagination.

The other five people scoffed when they heard that.

But Fang Ruotang thought her husband was too weak to take care of himself.

"Okay, come on over! When you arrive, I'll come pick you up. Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Even though Ye Wuxia on the other side couldn't see it, Fang Ruotang patted her chest to assure her, and she didn't hold back at all, patting her hard.

Gu Yanjin couldn't bear to watch any longer and reached out to pull Fang Ruotang back.

That's only because she has good natural attributes; otherwise, with that kind of force, she would have been flattened.

He knew Fang Ruotang was susceptible to this, but he couldn't quite pull it off. Sometimes, seeing Ye Wuxia so smoothly flirt with Fang Ruotang, he felt a little envious.

While waiting for the other five people, Gu Yanjin, worried that Fang Ruotang would be bored, brought out a recliner for her to rest and set up a grill to roast meat.

Most importantly, they used spiritual power to isolate a space, preventing those newly awakened beasts from disturbing them.

Fortunately, the beasts are currently on the outskirts and their killing power is very weak. Gu Yanjin used his spiritual power to draw a circle to isolate the scent, so these weak beasts could not detect it.

As he roasted the meat, he could see wild animals running out from the deep mountains, their destination probably the wild boar carcass from earlier.

But when passing through their protective shield, they will take a detour.

Fang Ruotang, meanwhile, was looking at something and laughing heartily, occasionally punching the recliner.

Gu Yanjin suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility. It would be wonderful if the two of them could live together in this deep mountain forest forever.

Unfortunately, given Fang Ruotang's personality, she probably wouldn't be able to stay even a day longer.

Watching a movie while eating barbecue.

Fang Ruotang and five other people arrived.

The five people arrived around the same time, and none of them asked Fang Ruotang about her elopement with Gu Yanjin. They were all people who were attentive to their surroundings and knew how to serve Fang Ruotang well.

"Everyone's here, let's continue walking!"

Fang Ruotang was ready to set off after she had eaten and drunk her fill.

She hadn't forgotten that she came to find the spiritual vein, not to have a picnic.

As if they had received special training, the six of them methodically gathered all the items and put them into their storage bags. In the blink of an eye, the place, which was just littered with decorations and food, was now spotless, and the group was able to set off with ease.

"Don't you guys feel that it's much more comfortable here than outside? Although these tall trees can feel oppressive, and it's even a bit scary because the sunlight can't reach inside, the spiritual energy around us is pure and abundant. It's a sacred place that cultivators dream of!"

“After all, there’s a spiritual vein underground.” Huo Zhige stomped his foot and said with some curiosity, “It has such abundant spiritual energy even before it’s been mined, so the quality of this spiritual vein must be extremely high.”

"I think so too. After all, this place hasn't been mined for thousands of years. Through the evolution of nature, the spiritual veins that have emerged here must be of good quality."

[It's a top-grade spiritual vein, capable of yielding top-grade spirit stones. However, sir, please be careful. The better the quality of the spiritual vein, the stronger, more numerous, and more dangerous the demonic beasts it attracts and nurtures.]

Fortune favors the bold, I know that.

Whether it's awakening intelligence, advancing in cultivation, or strengthening their physical bodies, spirit beasts cannot do without pure and rich spiritual energy. Demon beasts are naturally sensitive to spiritual energy, and in order to cultivate, they will instinctively be attracted to places with abundant spiritual energy.
