The Tianluo Forest, which Xia Muge and Qin Wanning were heading to, was not far from the Divine Will Sect.
For cultivators, the Tianluo Forest is full of dangers, but also full of opportunities.
Inside the Tianluo Forest, there are many high-level demonic beasts. Even the sect leader and elders of the Divine Will Sect would not enter casually, otherwise, it would lead to an earth-shattering battle.
Because it is difficult for capable people to enter, this place has become a treasure trove for the weak.
The medicines and the hides and flesh of low-level monsters inside can fetch a good price on the market.
Although many people flocked in and became food for the monsters, many still flocked there.
After all, not everyone can resist the temptation of getting rich quick.
There is a transit town called Tianluo Town, located 30 miles outside Tianluo Forest.
This is where many families open their markets for trade, and many people buy equipment here for added security.
Afterwards, the people who came out would sell them their skin, flesh, herbs, and other items.
When Xia Muge saw these markets and inquired about their prices, he was speechless: "Sure enough, no matter what world you're in, being a middleman is the most profitable."
Qin Wanning looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything we need to buy?"
She paused for a moment, then said, "I am now at the fourth level of martial arts. Although I can't deal with ordinary demonic beasts, I will try my best not to hold you back."
Xia Muge smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't need to buy anything."
Xia Muge's original strength was close to that of a Martial Master, but now that he has arrived, he can directly cultivate techniques and his strength has long since broken through to the level of a Martial Master. He can even fight against Spirit Masters with the help of his special abilities.
It's fair to say that he's quite capable now.
Martial arts master is the limit that ordinary people can reach, while spiritual master is someone who breaks through the limitations of ordinary people.
The two walked into the Tianluo Forest.
They encountered quite a few adventure groups.
Clearly, these adventure groups were a spontaneously formed organization based on long-term cooperation. They looked at Xia Muge and Qin Wanning with some wariness.
Inside, besides the monsters, the danger also lies in people's hearts.
Beautiful women can be dangerous too.
However, they had no intention of joining these people.
Qin Wanning said, "There are many mercenaries outside the Tianluo Forest, even more people than monsters. We need to complete the mission as quickly as possible, either wait until night or go deeper inside."
"My suggestion is to wait until night, when it won't be too dangerous to go deeper inside..."
"Don't worry."
Xia Muge said to Qin Wanning, "I will protect you."
"Um."
Although she didn't know Xia Muge's strength, she was convinced by him.
Or rather, this was the first time she had met someone like Xia Muge who cared about her so much.
Although the girl had an exceptionally beautiful face, she was ridiculed both at home and when she joined the Divine Will Sect because of her talent.
Xia Muge's few words of concern were enough to touch her heart.
The two went deeper inside.
Just as Qin Wanning said, because so many people came here, many low-level demonic beasts have disappeared.
After all, monsters are not stupid.
The two could only go deeper inside.
Soon, Xia Muge spotted a monster that resembled both a wolf and a tiger.
It wasn't as big as a tiger, but it still let out roars.
Upon seeing this, Xia Muge immediately urged his sword to attack.
His sword, sharp as a cold star, cleaved it in two.
Qin Wanning, standing to the side, revealed a hint of admiration and longing in her eyes.
Xia Muge said calmly, "Wanning, prepare this meat. We'll eat it tonight."
Qin Wanning was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said, "Shouldn't this be handed over to the sect?"
Xia Muge smiled and said, "Sects? There's no need."
"Why work for the sect? We're doing it to become stronger, aren't we?"
"The flesh of these demonic beasts can strengthen bones and muscles, and expand meridians, which is good for the body and aptitude."
Qin Wanning's biggest problem right now is that her meridians are blocked by spiritual energy, making cultivation difficult.
However, it's different with demon beast meat. Demon beast meat is rich in qi and blood, which can widen the meridians. It's like a highway that was originally congested, but now the road has been widened, so the congestion is naturally relieved.
Qin Wanning was somewhat tempted, but subconsciously said, "But, wouldn't that mean I'd be taking advantage of you?"
"You should think of it this way."
Xia Muge smiled and said, "I'm making an investment, an investment in you. If we become stronger because of the monster meat, wouldn't we gain more benefits? If you feel you're taking advantage of me, you can repay me after you become stronger."
Xia Muge's words made Qin Wanning nod: "Thank you."
So the two of them began to process the monster's meat.
Then, grill the meat.
As for the fur and such, just let it dry and store it away.
After taking a bite of meat, Xia Muge felt that the meat was really dry.
In an era when spices were unavailable and salt was the only seasoning available, this meat was indeed quite unpalatable. Moreover, due to inadequate technique, it was also somewhat undercooked in the middle.
However, the flesh of demonic beasts contains special energy.
Xia Muge's expression brightened slightly.
After eating it, he felt his spiritual roots begin to absorb the energy.
He subconsciously looked at Qin Wanning.
But then he saw Qin Wanning eat a piece of meat and then eagerly begin cultivating.
To her surprise, she broke through to the fifth rank of martial artist and her cultivation speed was faster than before.
The problem could have been solved with some monster meat, but because she wasn't valued at home before, she's been tormented until now.
She hugged Xia Muge excitedly: "Thank you, Xia Muge."
"From today onwards, you are my benefactor."
Xia Muge was both amused and exasperated: "It's not that exaggerated, eat more meat."
"Um."
Qin Wanning nodded: "Thank you."
The man and woman quickly finished off all the meat.
After that, the two went even deeper inside.
...
At the same time, many disciples of the Divine Will Sect also entered the Tianluo Forest.
However, these outer disciples did not possess the strength of Xia Muge.
Some people dared not venture inside, only daring to stay on the periphery, and then got into conflicts with others, resulting in them being beaten up.
Others ventured deeper, only to be chased away by powerful monsters, fleeing in panic and some even getting injured.
Some were even more unfortunate, being murdered and robbed of their treasure.
These outer disciples are just expendable resources; even if they die in the Tianluo Forest, no one from the sect will stand up for them.
The first lesson for outer disciples is how to survive.
Guo Yang, however, did not belong to these unfortunate disciples.
He's the type to suck up to powerful figures.
"Senior Brother Holy Son, this demonic beast is my mission. Thank you for your help."
Guo Yang looked at Zhang Haoran with a look of surprise and delight.
His back was covered with many herbs.
And all of these were picked by Zhang Haoran for him.
Guo Yang only realized now that Zhang Haoran was actually a kind-hearted person.
