"If I'm not mistaken, that seal is far more powerful than my top-tier magic weapon, and that person is definitely a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Lin Xiaofei said in a low voice and continued to observe.

An hour later, the momentum of the battle between the cultivator and the giant snake gradually weakened, and both sides were clearly exhausted.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaofei observed from a distance while slowly approaching, picking up herbs along the way and tossing them into his spatial bead.

The cultivator and the giant snake were engaged in a fierce battle, causing trees in the valley to collapse and branches to fly everywhere. They did not notice that a young man was approaching them from a distance.

"There are already more than 500,000 wild herbs inside the space bead, it seems there's no room left."

Lin Xiaofei was secretly overjoyed.

He enjoyed watching the battle between humans and snakes while picking herbs; it felt amazing.

Then, Lin Xiaofei looked at the battlefield in the distance and found that the combat power of both the human and the snake had greatly decreased.

The giant serpent had hundreds of deep, bloody gashes on its body, and most of its scales had fallen off. The cultivator's face was purple, and he was swaying precariously, clearly suffering severe injuries.

"That cultivator has been poisoned by the giant snake's venom. If this continues, he will probably die soon."

After glancing at it, Lin Xiaofei muttered something and quickly slipped inside.

Just as Lin Xiaofei was about to approach the man and the snake, the cultivator activated the great seal in his hand, but then fell to the ground, motionless, and died.

However, the flying seal landed heavily on the giant snake, leaving it barely alive, as if it were about to die at any moment.

"Um?"

Lin Xiaofei's eyes flashed, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he thought to himself:

That giant snake was a first-tier demonic beast, its entire body a treasure trove. Now it's been smashed to the point of near death. Should I go closer and kill it?

After thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he looked eager to try.

Then, Lin Xiaofei gradually approached the giant snake.

He knew in his heart that the giant snake was a treasure from head to toe. If he could obtain the flesh and blood of the first-level demon snake, he could eat its flesh to increase his strength and strengthen his physical body.

Whether one is a martial artist or a cultivator, consuming the flesh of demonic beasts over a long period of time can enhance one's physical constitution.

Lin Xiaofei quickly approached, condensed a violent flame, and slammed it hard onto the giant snake's head. However, it did not burn the giant snake to death until he threw out more than twenty flames.

Looking at the dead giant snake, Lin Xiaofei first picked up the large seal, and then cut off all the important parts of the giant snake's body and put them into his storage bag.

At this moment, in front of the cat-beast, there was a pool of snake blood that looked like a small stream. It was lying on the ground, sucking the snake's blood in large gulps.

To the little cat beast, this blood was even more delicious than the flesh and blood of a high-level alien beast.

After Lin Xiaofei disposed of the demon snake's corpse, he suddenly noticed the little cat beast. Its eyes turned red, its aura surged, and its body rapidly grew larger.

Has it transformed again?

Lin Xiaofei's eyes flashed, and he whispered something.

He knew that the little black cat had devoured the blood of a first-tier demonic serpent, which contained extremely high energy.

That's why the little black cat grew up and transformed so quickly.

"Meow!"

As its aura grew, its body rapidly increased, and it devoured the blood of the demon snake even faster, appearing extremely excited.

"There's still at least half the amount of that serpent's blood left in the pond. If the little cat beast were to consume it all, would it grow into a first-tier cat demon?"

Lin Xiaofei thought to himself.

Suddenly, the little black cat's eyes flashed red light, and it opened its mouth wide. Immediately afterward, a pool of demon snake blood on the ground flew up and went straight into its mouth.

"What happened?"

Lin Xiaofei had a slight doubt.

In the span of seven or eight breaths, the pool of demonic snake blood was completely devoured by the little cat beast.

Then its aura surged again, it opened its mouth wide, and a black light flashed out, striking a tree trunk.

Whoosh!

A tree as thick as an arm suddenly shook.

"The little cat beast can actually use magic."

Lin Xiaofei was startled, not expecting that the little black cat would awaken magic after swallowing the blood of the demon snake.

The little cat was stunned, surprised by the spell it had just cast.

Then, it jumped up, looking very happy, and quickly ran to Lin Xiaofei's legs and rubbed against them, indicating that its master was giving it some of the demon snake's blood.

Lin Xiaofei smiled, took out a piece of the demon snake's flesh and blood, and tossed it to the little cat beast.

Turning his gaze, Lin Xiaofei looked at the corpse of a cultivator lying in the grass not far away.

The cultivator's purple Daoist robe was tattered, and his face, resembling that of a young man, wore an expression of pain, yet his body remained motionless.

Seeing that the cultivator remained motionless, Lin Xiaofei knew that the man was dead, and only then did he approach the body.

"Storage bag".

Lin Xiaofei squatted down and took a storage bag from the corpse's waist. However, this storage bag was more exquisite and of higher quality than the one he was about to wear.

Then, he took a book from the corpse's clothes.

This book is the cultivation notes and some daily records of this purple-robed cultivator.

Lin Xiaofei flipped through it for a while, then was startled and muttered to himself:

This guy is indeed a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Zhou Xingdao, and he's a member of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

"With my father's help, I, Zhou Xingdao, finally broke through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment."

My father promised me that once I reached the Foundation Establishment stage, I could go out and train on my own for three months.

However, thinking about how some of my senior brothers in the Stone Sword Peak under my father's command have raised their own demonic pets, which look very majestic and domineering, I feel quite envious.

On this trip, I also want to capture a demon beast and raise it as a demon pet.

......”

By browsing the contents, Lin Xiaofei learned some information.

He guessed that Zhou Xingdao originally came out to train, but because he wanted a powerful demonic pet, he searched everywhere and ended up here, fighting a first-tier snake king.

Because Zhou Xingdao overestimated his strength, he was eventually poisoned to death by a first-tier demon snake.

However, judging from Zhou Xingdao's notes, Lin Xiaofei also discovered another piece of information, namely the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

This alliance of rogue cultivators is a powerful force that is more than ten times stronger than a family of immortal cultivators, and it is very likely to be a force similar to those immortal cultivation sects.

The content wasn't written in great detail, and Lin Xiaofei couldn't guess anything.

However, one piece of content particularly excited him, and he read it several times.

"The Mountain-Turning Demon's Hand!"

Lin Xiaofei was overjoyed; he had already memorized the cultivation method of a spell.

This Mountain-Turning Demon Palm is a powerful spell. Once mastered to its peak, a single strike from it can be as powerful as a mountain.

"This Mountain-Turning Demon Palm is divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower. Unfortunately, the cultivation methods for the latter two volumes are missing."

Learning that the Mountain-Turning Demon Palm was a very powerful immortal technique filled Lin Xiaofei with both excitement and a sense of helplessness.

He estimated that this immortal technique was no weaker than the Dewdrop True God Technique.

If one could successfully master all three volumes of the Mountain-Turning Demon Palm technique, and then integrate them, it would become a powerful immortal art capable of cleaving mountains and rivers with ease.

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Xingdao only recorded the first volume of the cultivation method, without the rest.

Immediately, Lin Xiaofei took out a palm-sized golden seal. According to the description in his cultivation notes, this seal was a spiritual artifact called the Golden Mountain Seal.

When Zhou Xingdao went out to train, the other party's father was worried about his safety, so he lent Zhou Xingdao his only spiritual weapon for self-defense. Unexpectedly, the other party relied on his spiritual weapon and tried to catch a first-level demon snake as a pet, which led to his death.

This immediately filled Lin Xiaofei with joy, for spiritual artifacts were treasures even more powerful than top-tier magic weapons.
