On the way back, Shi Jiu was still wary of the surrounding environment, but his inner excitement could not calm down for a long time. Today, he really experienced a good show of a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind it, and he became the final big winner and gained a lot. Recalling the battle between Shadow Leopard and his opponent, Shi Jiu also benefited a lot. Any carelessness may lead to a comeback by his opponent, and the strength of the two is obviously stronger than his own. If he fights head-on, he has no chance of winning. The strength displayed by the two also forced Shi Jiu to want to improve his strength as soon as possible.
After returning to the cave, one of the things Shi Jiu did was to cook ingredients. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people, and only with a full stomach can one have the strength to work. This time, Shi Jiu did not string up branches and grill the meat in the fire like before, but planned to use charcoal to grill the meat.
There are many benefits to charcoal barbecue or heating, and the grilled meat is even more fragrant. In the past few days, Shi Jiu had made some homemade charcoal from wood and set up a simple grill. Shi Jiu placed the chopped meat on the grill, and soon the aroma of charcoal grilling came out. After flipping it several times, Shi Jiu couldn't wait to taste a piece after the barbecue was almost medium-rare.
"It still smells like charcoal barbecue. No wonder those barbecue restaurants in the previous life used charcoal barbecue. It really makes sense." Biting into the fragrant barbecue, Shi Jiu couldn't help but admire.
It didn't take long for the first wave of barbecue to be eaten, and Shi Jiu continued to roast the second wave. After eating the third wave, Shi Jiu burped with satisfaction. After briefly disposing of the remaining food, Shi Jiu began to inspect today's harvest.
In addition to money, the main items are a Mysterious Wind Palm, a jade box, the Shadow Leopard's core and a long knife. The long knife is mainly used for self-defense and hunting.
Shi Jiu first opened an exquisite small jade box. The jade box came from his enemy. He saw a crystal with the brilliance of gems lying quietly on the lining inside the box. Shi Jiu picked up the crystal stone in the box and began to look at it carefully. However, the moment he took possession of it, Shi Jiu clearly felt the fluctuation of Ming Yuan within the crystal.
"Could this be Jingyuan?" Shi Jiu asked curiously.
Po Shan Dian is not only a secret book of exercises, but also introduces various rare objects that are beneficial to cultivation, such as elixirs, nether cores, crystals, treasures of heaven and earth, etc., and this crystal is a kind of treasure that is very suitable for cultivation. A treasure that people absorb.
Jingyuan is produced from Jingyuan Vein Mine, and the amount of Plutonium contained in it is several times or even dozens or hundreds of times that in the external environment. In addition, it does not have the viciousness of Pluto Core and can be directly absorbed and refined without any side effects. Therefore, it is the most popular treasure among cultivators. Crystal Yuan can not only help people absorb and practice, but it is also the top currency. You must know that ordinary money cannot buy the treasures of heaven and earth, but Crystal Yuan can. Therefore, the more the best crystal Yuan, the cultivators will not use it for cultivation. Instead, it is used as currency to purchase other treasures. However, crystal vein minerals are scarce in the world, and every crystal mined is used up. Therefore, ordinary cultivators do not have them. They can only be found in those big sects and forces, but they are usually given out as rewards. A disciple with meritorious service.
Crystals can be divided into ordinary crystals, high-grade crystals and top-grade crystals according to quality. After feeling the energy fluctuations in the crystal in his hand, Shi Jiu judged that it was an ordinary crystal.
"Yes, I can get a crystal. This time I will make a lot of money." Shi Jiu felt happy in his heart.
"Since the other party has a crystal, he must have a high status, and his sect should not be weak, at least better than Liushan City Lord." Shi Jiu secretly guessed.
Shi Jiu's guess was correct. The person he killed was the junior brother of Liushan City Lord. It was Liushan City Lord and his junior brother who jointly hunted the horse bandits and knocked Shi Jiu off the cliff when he strayed into danger. The Antian Pavilion where he is located is the largest sect within thousands of miles, and Liushan City and many other cities are within the sphere of influence of the Antian Pavilion.
Although Shi Jiu killed the other party, he was not worried. After all, no one knew that he did it, but a sense of urgency still rose in Shi Jiu's heart.
Looking at the crystal in his hand, Shi Jiu did not immediately start to absorb the crystal, but planned to use it at a critical moment.
Then, Shi Jiu took out the shadow leopard's core. This core was about the same size as the previous turtle core, but the texture on it was more complex, natural and beautiful. Just as Shi Jiu was looking at the Nether Core in his hand, the black spoon jade hanging on his chest seemed to know Shi Jiu's thoughts and randomly emitted a soft light that shone on the Nether Core. The original viciousness emitted by the Nether Core immediately disappeared quickly. Looking at the softly glowing black spoon jade, Shi Jiu knew that it seemed to be harmless to him and had good intentions.
Although he had been wearing this thing for as long as he could remember, Shi Jiu had no idea where it came from. When he was a child, he asked the teacher at the orphanage, but the teacher told him that it was an amulet and that wearing it would keep him safe. Until Shi Jiu had a car accident in his previous life, and then woke up in this underworld for no reason. Although Shi Jiu guessed that it was the black spoon jade that took him to the underworld, he still had many questions that could not be answered. Perhaps these questions might be answered when his strength becomes unmatched one day.
Shi Jiu shook his head and no longer thought about the questions that could not be answered at this stage. Instead, after the viciousness of the Nether Core was completely eliminated, he began to use his energy to absorb the pure Nether Energy within it.
As time passed, Shi Jiu's skill and realm slowly improved as he continued to absorb the pure energy in the Nether Core. Suddenly at a certain moment, there was a sound like the breaking of an egg shell, and Shi Jiu opened his eyes. At this time, his eyes were more alert than before, and his whole person seemed to be completely new.
Shi Jiu clenched his left fist and struck forward. The surging fist wind instantly split the air in front of him, and a harsh wind sound was heard.
"Is this the Soul Realm?" Shi Jiu muttered to himself as he felt the surge of power throughout his body. At this time, the Hades Core, which had absorbed all the energy, had already been broken into slag and fell to the ground.
"The Nether Core of the third-level Nether Beast is really powerful, and it can actually help me rush into the Soul Realm." Looking at the Nether Core that was broken into pieces, Shi Jiu couldn't help but sigh.
He was in a good mood, then took out the captured Xuanfeng Palm and started to look through it.
Xuanfeng Palm is not of a high level and has no special requirements for those who practice it. It can be practiced by those in the heroic realm. Its biggest advantage is that it can help people with lower realms initially feel the artistic conception of the wind. Previously, Liushan City Lord's junior brother used this palm technique to knock Shi Jiu off the cliff.
Looking at the introduction of Xuanfeng Zhang, Shi Jiu was quite satisfied. Although he was not as good as Po Shan's Plum Breaker, after all, he had just reached the second level of cultivation. Now he could fully practice. At the same time, he lacked the attack type. Secret skills are what he needs most at the moment.
After learning the Xuanfeng Palm by heart, Shi Jiu began to practice according to the instructions in the book.
After an hour of repeated practice, after a palm movement, the powerful palm wind hit a stone on the stone wall, making a crisp impact sound. Shi Jiu nodded with satisfaction.
Shi Jiu knew that he had initially mastered the Xuanfeng Palm and had a vague sense of the artistic conception of the wind. He believed that with diligent practice in the future, he should be able to fully master this palm technique.
After practicing, Shi Jiu walked out of the cave.
It was already night, and Shi Jiu looked up at the sky. The sky was full of stars, which was very beautiful.
"I didn't expect that I could see the sky full of stars. It's so beautiful!" Shi Jiu admired from the bottom of his heart. In the previous life of the earth, due to various pollutions, the visibility of the atmosphere was low, and only very few stars could be seen at night. Different environments create different scenes, and also grow different people.
"Now that I am in the underworld, God has given me a chance. I have a different goal in life. I want to become a strong man and be free in the world!" Shi Jiu's heart became hot.
At this time, the Hengduan Forest was still vast and deep, but in Shi Jiu's eyes, there was a different scenery at this moment. The vastness is no longer vague, and there is still light in the depth. The light of the soul permeates all around Shi Jiu. At this time, Shi Jiu is still unable to detect it, and the fire in Shi Jiu's heart continues to burn.
