Chapter 29 A Small Busy Task in the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts

Mount Wanshou is no more than ten miles away from Julu City.

However, very few cultivators from Julu City went to Wanshou Mountain for training because the mortality rate was too high.

Although the monsters of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain do not wander into the human world to cause trouble for unknown reasons, cultivators who enter Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain will be regarded as enemies.

Unless absolutely necessary, cultivators living in Julu City will not enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, even though the mountain is full of treasures and various materials are readily available.

With Su Xiaoxiao by his side, Chu Feng could only train on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. Deep within the mountain, countless powerful demonic beasts roamed, and entering would be tantamount to suicide.

"Husband, there are so many spiritual herbs and medicines here!" Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed excitedly.

Along the way, the two collected a lot of materials for alchemy and weapon crafting, but they didn't encounter a single monster. Their luck was simply too good.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Little Xiao, when you encounter a low-to-mid-level level one demonic beast, that will be the beginning of your training. As a cultivator, killing is inevitable. Only through killing can one grow quickly."

Monsters are divided into nine levels, corresponding to the nine realms of cultivation. A level one monster is equivalent to a Qi Refining stage cultivator, and a level two monster is equivalent to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

However, each level of a demon beast is only divided into three grades: low, middle and high, unlike cultivators, whose each level has nine sub-levels.

There are nine realms for cultivators, and each realm has nine minor levels, totaling eighty-one minor realms, which is somewhat like the concept of "returning to the origin after ninety-nine".

Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly, "I understand, my husband. I will not only protect myself and you, but I will also protect the Su family. I will become strong!"

"Moo!" Just then, a steel-backed bull, more than one meter tall and three meters long, slowly walked out from the woods ahead.

"Here, Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, I'm here." Chu Feng handed Su Xiaoxiao a mid-grade mortal weapon.

Su Xiaoxiao had not yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, so she couldn't activate a mid-grade mortal weapon at all. Therefore, in Su Xiaoxiao's hands, a mid-grade mortal weapon was just an ordinary longsword.

Fortunately, mid-grade mortal weapons are much more durable than low-grade mortal weapons, making them ideal for fighting demonic beasts.

Actually, when dealing with monsters larger than humans, it's best to use heavy weapons, because monsters have thick hides and are difficult to kill.

However, Su Xiaoxiao is a girl, so we can't expect her to fight with a big cleaver and a big iron hammer, can we?

"Ah!" Su Xiaoxiao drew her longsword and charged out. Chu Feng was speechless at Su Xiaoxiao's actions.

Can a girl fight a bull head-on? Is it possible without using combat skills?

The Iron-Backed Bull was furious when it saw this. How dare a cute little girl provoke it? It charged straight at Su Xiaoxiao.

The Iron-Backed Bull was clearly a mid-level level one demonic beast. As it charged out, a gust of wind swept over, demonstrating the beast's terrifying speed and power!

"So powerful!" The longsword struck the bull's horn, sending sparks flying. Su Xiaoxiao could barely hold onto the sword. It was too late to dodge, so she could only leap behind a large tree.

Chu Feng nodded. Facing the Iron-Backed Bull, the best fighting strategy was to maneuver around it and attack from the side. With him there, Su Xiaoxiao would naturally be safe; Chu Feng could instantly kill the Iron-Backed Bull.

The entire Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is almost entirely covered by giant trees. Even the smaller trees here require two people to hug them. Some of the towering trees are so large that you could hollow them out and put a bed inside.

Su Xiaoxiao hid behind a tree, and the Iron-Backed Bull lost its target. Enraged, it bellowed loudly, turned around, and charged at the tree.

With a loud "bang," the bull's horn pierced the tree. Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed her longsword and slashed at the Ironback Bull's neck, intending to sever its head in one fell swoop!

With a "swoosh," the Iron-Backed Bull's head wasn't severed; the longsword merely made a finger-thick wound on its neck.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the Iron-Backed Bull went berserk, pulling out its horns and charging at Su Xiaoxiao again!

"Xiaoxiao, move around and fight at the same time, turn your Qi into power, force your spiritual power into your longsword, and then use the tip of the sword to cut. If you don't have enough spiritual power, take a marrow-nourishing pill..." Chu Feng instructed from the side.

Su Xiaoxiao used the longsword as a knife, which was completely wrong. Later, Chu Feng planned to teach her a set of sword techniques.

"Husband, I don't like using a sword, it feels awkward," Su Xiaoxiao said breathlessly as she slashed and cut at the Ironback Bull's body as Chu Feng instructed.

Fortunately, the Iron-Backed Ox was rather clumsy, and there were many trees on the mountain. Su Xiaoxiao repeatedly increased its injuries, and gradually, the Iron-Backed Ox became slower and slower.

Low-level monsters are too stupid, they fight entirely on instinct. Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up quickly, and she slashed at the Ironback Bull's neck with each sword strike.

Finally, half an hour later, the Iron-Backed Ox let out a mournful cry and then collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Due to excessive blood loss, the Iron-Backed Ox was worn down and died by Su Xiaoxiao.

"Great, husband, I killed the Iron-Backed Ox! Aren't I amazing? Haha!" Su Xiaoxiao was overjoyed.

Chu Feng wanted to laugh, but dared not. Was Su Xiaoxiao fighting? It was completely chaotic; was she trying to outdo the Iron-Backed Ox in terms of pills?

Su Xiaoxiao is now eating the Marrow Nourishing Pill like candy. When she sees that the spiritual energy in her body is about to be exhausted, she will eat one. If a top-grade Marrow Nourishing Pill is auctioned, one of them will sell for at least 1 billion low-grade spirit stones!

Killing an Ironback Ox would only fetch a million low-grade spirit stones at most, but Su Xiaoxiao ate three Marrow Nourishing Pills—it was practically a complete loss!

"Hmm, not bad, finally killed an Ironback Bull. Little Xiao, are you tired? Take a rest, eat two more pills, and then break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining in one go." Of course, Chu Feng wouldn't criticize Su Xiao Xiao; pills were just a piece of cake for him.

As long as Su Xiaoxiao is happy, that's all that matters.

Elixirs and weapons are valuable, and talismans are about the same price. The blood of demonic beasts is one of the materials for making talismans, so Chu Feng did not hesitate to put the Iron-Backed Ox into his storage bag.

The storage bag wasn't very large, only about ten cubic meters. Fortunately, Chu Feng had ten storage bags in total, so he wasn't worried about not having a place to put his good stuff.

Qi Refining stage cultivators usually take Qi Refining stage pills to break through their realm, but Su Xiaoxiao directly used a second-grade peak Marrow Nourishing Pill to break through her realm, and the effect was countless times better. Moreover, she broke through without any drawbacks.

After all, the Marrow Nourishing Pill is a top-grade elixir for solidifying one's foundation. When cultivating with the Marrow Nourishing Pill, the body expels dozens of times fewer impurities than that of ordinary cultivators.

Half an hour later, Su Xiaoxiao had broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining!

Chu Feng had already investigated and found that Su Xiaoxiao had a high-grade ice spiritual root, making her suitable for cultivating ice-type techniques.

However, he didn't have any suitable cultivation techniques for Xiao Xiao here, because in his previous life, Chu Feng would never have paid attention to anything related to women.

Xiao Xiao is an exception...
