Xu Chuan did not take the corpse of the Monkey King. He only took the corpses of two monkeys in the early stage of foundation building. If it were not for Li Shiming's request, he would have been embarrassed to accept even these two monkeys in the early stage of foundation building.

The corpses of spiritual beasts have many uses. Their fur is the material for making armor. Considering the defensive power of the spiritual monkey in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the armor made from it should be at least a defensive spiritual weapon of medium or above quality.

Even though Li Shiming and Xu Chuan both used top-level spiritual weapons, in fact, there were not many of these spiritual weapons.

Needless to say, Xu Chuan is a true disciple of the Shushan Sect. He has an elder master and a very high status in the Shushan Sect. Naturally, the spiritual weapon he uses is not bad.

The spiritual weapon used by Li Shiming was obtained from the descendants of the Jindan cultivators of the Mingxin Sect, and was also made by a Jindan elder.

It is good enough for ordinary sect monks to have a spiritual weapon. Medium-quality defensive spiritual weapons are definitely in great demand and have great value.

The most valuable part of the monkey is not its fur, but its sharp claws. Even without any auxiliary materials, these claws can be made into good attacking spiritual weapons. Not to mention that in the hands of a good weapon maker, they can even be made into top-notch spiritual weapons.

Li Shiming didn't say anything polite. After distributing the spoils, they set off again.

After several days of traveling, they went deep into the territory of the spirit beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and their speed slowed down significantly.

"We have to go around the mountain ahead!" Xu Chuan looked at the terrain, took out the jade slip to confirm it and said.

This time he hesitated for a moment, but still took out a blank jade slip, copied the information in the slip and handed it to Li Shiming.

"Brother Li, try to remember this information and don't let it leak out. The sect paid a heavy price for this information!" Xu Chuan whispered.

Li Shiming took the jade slip and placed it between his eyebrows. A large amount of information flowed into his brain and was recorded by IBMz15.

"Give me three days, and I will destroy it in three days!" Li Shiming promised solemnly after knowing the information in the jade slip.

The jade slip contains a lot of information about the Hundred Thousand Mountains, including detailed information about some cultivators who own mountains with spiritual veins, information about these independent cultivators, and even detailed information about the various outposts of the Senluo Sect.

Even in the area of ​​​​the Ten Thousand Mountains Spirit Beasts, there is a lot of information, such as the possible location of the Golden Core Demon and so on.

Li Shiming also saw the defense line between the Ten Thousand Mountains and the outside world. It was a long border of tens of thousands of miles, but it was separated by a series of formations, forming a connected defense line.

No wonder the Senluo Sect almost unified the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but still lacked cultivators. How many cultivators would be needed to defend such a long border line!

He knew even more clearly that it was almost impossible for the jade slip in his hand not to have been leaked by someone within the Senluo Sect, but he didn't know how to escape the questioning of the demon.

Xu Chuan gave this jade slip to Li Shiming because he thought that if something really happened to him, Li Shiming would still be able to go to Shushan Sect alone with the information in the jade slip. Otherwise, without knowing the information, Li Shiming might not even be able to leave this spiritual beast area.

Even though they have safely entered the spiritual beast area these days, in fact, Xu Chuan and Li Shiming avoided many extremely dangerous areas, which is why they were able to be so safe.

This jade slip arrived just in time. At least it was very useful to Li Yuanba who was coming from behind, so he wouldn't run into the territory of the Jindan demon.

"Brother Li, the information here is not very accurate. It is just for reference. Especially where we are, who knows whether there will be any new big monsters appearing in the past few decades!" Xu Chuan reminded softly.

Li Shiming nodded, and the two of them went around the mountain ahead.

"Hey, there is no such lake on the map!" When the two returned to their original route, they were both stunned, and Xu Chuan said with a frown.

The route they were taking was planned by Xu Chuan long ago and was considered a relatively safe route, so even if they detoured somewhere, they would return to the original route.

But the situation they encountered at this time was something they had never encountered before. A lake appeared on the route they thought was safe.

Both of them were in the early stage of foundation building, and the lake had little impact on them since they were flying close to the water surface anyway. However, the unexpected lake was a huge trouble.

Many spiritual beasts live in water, so they deliberately avoided many water areas along the way.

"Go around it?" Li Shiming asked.

"It's not safe on either side!" Xu Chuan said with a wry smile and shook his head.

Li Shiming pulled up the map and found danger warnings marked on both sides. It seemed that there were many big monsters in this area.

"Let's pass through carefully!" Xu Chuan calculated the time and risk of going back to change the route, and decided to just pass through here.

Li Shiming did not object, he did not sense any danger.

The two used sword escape to fly over the lake. The lake was extremely large and extremely quiet.

The more this happened, the more worried they became.

"Something is wrong. If we really encounter a big monster, I will lure it away and we will meet at the target!" Xu Chuan said gritting his teeth.

Li Shiming looked at him, and a look of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not committing suicide. I have ways to save my life!" Xu Chuan continued with a smile.

As they were talking, they were all startled and sensed a terrifying aura.

Seeing the aura of a golden elixir monster, Li Shiming even doubted whether Xu Chuan's mouth was blessed. How come he encountered a golden elixir monster just after he expressed his plan?

There was a flash of light on Xu Chuan's body, and his aura suddenly increased. In comparison, his aura made Li Shiming's aura seem insignificant.

As the lake water rolled, Li Shiming vaguely saw a snake-like figure flying out of the water.

Then his scalp went numb and his whole body felt cold. It was not a snake at all, but a dragon. At least in his eyes, it was not much different from the legendary dragon.

"Take care, Brother Li. Damn it, how could we encounter a four-clawed dragon monster!" Xu Chuan's voice came.

Only then did Li Shiming discover that the dragon-like monster had unbranched horns on its head, a snake-like tail, and four toes on its claws.

Although it is not the legendary dragon, this Jiao is definitely the one with the most powerful bloodline among the golden elixir monsters.

Xu Chuan's character is still very good. Even when he encountered the four-clawed dragon monster, he still used all his strength to mobilize his own aura to attract the attention of the four-clawed dragon monster.

His figure accelerated towards the distance. Li Shiming noticed that there was a talisman with scattered spiritual light in his hand, but it was not activated.

The four-clawed dragon monster let out a long roar, and Li Shiming felt that he was almost unable to use the sword to escape. Although it was very far away, the long roar still affected him.

The four-clawed dragon monster didn't pay any attention to Li Shiming at all. In comparison, it was obvious that Xu Chuan was the one who attracted the four-clawed dragon monster the most.

Especially Xu Chuan's obviously provocative aura, which the four-clawed dragon, as a big demon, could not tolerate.

Just as the four-clawed dragon monster flew out of the water and was about to chase Xu Chuan, Xu Chuan activated the talisman in his hand, and his figure almost turned into a phantom, fleeing into the distance at an exaggerated speed.

How could the four-clawed dragon monster let him go? It twisted its body in the air, leaving a trail of afterimage and disappeared on the spot.

This was the first time that Li Shiming felt the horror of the spirit beast area of ​​the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Before he encountered the Golden Core Demon, he had not worried much even if he encountered a spirit beast in the late foundation building stage. He knew that escaping would not be a problem if he could not defeat it.

He has many methods. At the very least, he can let Nezha delay for a few seconds, giving him time to use the talisman, and the battle can be resolved.

But when facing the Jindan demon, he didn't even have the courage to fight. The aura of the four-clawed dragon demon was more terrifying than any Jindan cultivator he had encountered.

He took a deep breath, and the golden thunder spiritual power in his body was drawn out of the spiritual lake. He activated the thunder escape technique, and his figure turned into a golden lightning light and flashed in another direction.

When he was close to the lake shore, he stopped his lightning escape. In a moment he left the lake, but most of the lightning spiritual power in his body was consumed.

"Five breaths of time!" Li Shiming whispered to himself.

In this kind of environment, his Thunder Escape could only last for five breaths at most. If he escaped for one more second, his spiritual energy would be completely consumed. Then, his combat power would be greatly reduced, and he would not even have the ability to protect himself.

He did not stay to observe Xu Chuan's situation. It was impossible for a true disciple of a large sect to not have a means to save his life.

After knowing that there was a four-clawed dragon monster in the lake, Li Yuanba needed to replan his route of action.

Li Yuanba and Jiang Chen are together, and they are not afraid of any spiritual beasts with the strength of building a foundation, but they are still helpless when facing the golden elixir monster.

He spent some time designing a new route for Li Yuanba. That route was much longer than this one because it took too many detours.

But safety is the most important thing. He can't let himself and Li Yuanba die here for Xu Chuan's mission.

There were also advantages to him setting out alone. The drone flew into the sky, and it was equipped with a stealth and sound-isolating formation, so that the drone would not be discovered by ordinary birds.

In this way, he had a pair of eyes in the sky and could observe the situation in more distant places.

Instead, he was a bit faster. When he came across suspicious places, he used a large telescope to observe carefully, and then IBMz15 analyzed the observed images.

No matter what level of spiritual beast it is, it will leave some traces.

The sky gradually darkened. In such a place, it was not advisable to act in the dark. For many spiritual beasts, the darkness would enhance their sensing abilities and conceal their existence.

Even though Li Shiming had an infrared thermal imaging drone, he didn't want to operate in the dark.

Under infrared thermal imaging, there is no difference between ordinary wild beasts and spiritual beasts. He can't just dodge when he encounters a wild beast, otherwise he won't have time to travel.

He summoned Nezha from a recessed place. Nezha, with his six arms holding huge weapons, quickly opened up a simple cave.

After putting Nezha away, he entered the cave and sealed the entrance with a huge stone.

Due to the lack of spiritual energy, he could not practice the main technique, and he originally did not want to practice the body-building technique. However, since he had the monkey wine, he wanted to give it a try.

Thinking of monkey wine, he became impatient.

But before that, he took out dozens of spirit stones and arranged a simple formation for the cave to conceal the aura inside the cave.

Using spirit stones to arrange the formation was a helpless act. All the formation flags were used up, and the formation plates obtained in the Qi Refining Stage were not as effective as the formations arranged by him, a high-level formation master, using spirit stones.

After doing all this, he first took out two spirit stones and held them in his hands to restore the spiritual power in his body. He did not stop until the spiritual power returned to normal.

Li Shiming threw away the spirit stone without spiritual energy, stood on the ground with both feet, took out the wine pot and poured the monkey wine into his mouth without swallowing it.

His expression gradually became ferocious, anger rose in his heart, but in his ears he heard the chanting of the Diamond Sutra, and an image of a furious Vajra appeared behind him.

The 'Vajra Body Protection Magical Skill' in the foundation-building chapter transforms spiritual power into Vajra power with the help of Buddha's will, strengthening the whole body of the cultivator simultaneously in motion and stillness.

He swallowed the monkey wine in his mouth, and a stream of hot energy went straight into his stomach from his mouth, and then went to his whole body.

The Vajra force transformed from the thunder spiritual power, under the influence of the angry Vajra's true meaning, seemed even more violent, constantly impacting his whole body.

When he was practicing in the past, he always felt that his body was unable to sustain under the impact of the Vajra Force. It was the Vajra Force that was strengthening the body, but the feeling of emptiness could not be satisfied by the body's energy.

But this time it was different. The Vajra force flowed throughout his body, and every part of his body felt expand under this impact.

The swelling feeling seemed like an illusion, but it accelerated the body's absorption of monkey wine. The hot energy was devoured by the body, as if to solidify the swelling feeling.

Li Shiming let out an unconscious roar, and the true meaning of the angry Vajra seemed to become more agile.

The quality of the Vajra force that was converted again was obviously improved, and the stimulation to the body was stronger. The energy from the monkey wine absorbed by the body replenished the feeling of emptiness caused by the stimulation.

He felt like he had transformed into a furious King Kong, his muscles knotted all over his body and his strength enough to hold up the sky.

Unconsciously, he completed the last move of the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic'. The hot energy generated by the monkey wine in his body was completely absorbed, and the true meaning of the angry Vajra slowly dissipated.

Open your eyes and regain consciousness.

He felt the muscles all over his body bulging, as if there was endless power surging in his body.

His spiritual thoughts swept across his entire body, and his robes and clothes disappeared, revealing his body.

It was not an illusion. His muscles had obviously grown larger. His originally streamlined muscles now looked a little bloated.

"I won't turn into a muscular man, will I?" Li Shiming couldn't help but mutter to himself.

In this world, muscular bodies are not considered beautiful. Most monks who do not practice cultivation have a body that is more like a plump figure.

The so-called plump figure means a slightly protruding belly and a slightly fat body. This form is the most standard illustration form among various exercises.

However, although his muscles have grown, his physical fitness has indeed improved a lot. This time of training has made his 'Vajra Body Protection Magic Skill' suddenly improve by a large step, and he has reached the middle level of the initial foundation building of the 'Vajra Body Protection Magic Skill'.
