"It's my fortune to be in such a cool breeze, and the sun has no boundaries. To think that my mood is like a year's worth of time …"

In the dense forest, a handsome youth was humming an unknown tune as he looked around. His pair of big black eyes were nimbly moving around the plants on the ground, as if he was looking for something.

This young man was Xu Fan!

Xu Fan continued to admire the scenery as he walked, constantly humming a song from his previous life. At the same time, he didn't forget to collect spirit grass and herbs everywhere, so he was quite free and at ease by himself.

Overall, this fellow's luck was quite good. After searching around for a few kilometers, he found another three to four Spirit Accumulation Grass that were around fifteen years old.

However, his biggest gain was that this kid actually discovered a ten-year Seven Leaf Mushroom Grass and a twenty-year Silver Flower Grass. These two spirit herbs were the main ingredients to concoct the Body Refining Liquid, and with these two spirit herbs, as long as he found a few ordinary medicinal materials, he would be able to concoct the first layer of the《 Brahma Monarch Stars Body Tempering Scripture》.

In addition, Xu Fan also unexpectedly found a few Green Pellet Grass and Purple Fox Orchid for Qi Replenishing Pills. Although these two spirit plants weren't very old, they were still enough to be used to refine the lowest grade Qi Replenishing Pills.

"NND, this valley is simply a super spiritual medicine garden!"

Xu Fan was extremely excited, carefully planting the newly discovered Purple Fox Orchid into his Primal Chaos Tower.

In reality, the spiritual herbs Xu Fan had found in the valley weren't very old, and were also the most common spiritual herbs in the cultivation world. However, they were extremely precious to Xu Fan, causing him to feel as if his happiness had suddenly arrived.

As far as Xu Fan was concerned, as long as it was something he needed, then it would be a treasure.

At this moment, Xu Fan's mind was filled with all sorts of spiritual medicines and herbs. He had completely forgotten that he was in danger of being attacked by demon beasts.

While searching for spirit plants in all directions, he walked into the valley. Unknowingly, Xu Fan seemed to have completely forgotten himself as he walked a few dozen more kilometers into the mountain range.

"Roar … Roar …"

Suddenly, a deafening sound came from within the valley. The sound seemed to have come from beyond the clouds, sudden and terrifying.

Immediately afterwards, the roars seemed to come from all directions, causing Xu Fan's eardrums to hurt. His ears began to buzz, and the Qi and blood in his body began to churn uncontrollably.

"F * ck!"

Xu Fan turned pale with fright. He immediately calmed himself and began to adjust his breathing. At the same time, his pupils shrank as he looked toward the source of the sound.

At the edge of his vision, he could faintly see a faint black wave roiling about. Amidst the demonic Qi, Xu Fan discovered a black shadow quickly rushing towards him.

"Master, what kind of monster is this?"

Xu Fan's heart was filled with a feeling of fear and danger. He didn't dare to stay there any longer, so without thinking, he used the Lighten Technique, turned around, and ran along the path.

As he ran, that terrifying sound continued to come from behind him, as if it was a demonstration of strength. Although Xu Fan didn't understand what monster it was, he knew he definitely wasn't its opponent.

What a joke, just his voice alone was enough to make his vital energy and blood boil. How could he continue to fight?

Xu Fan ran like a madman. In one breath, he kept running for fifty to sixty li. Only then did the terrifying sound slowly disappear.

At this time, Xu Fan had no choice but to stop and rest because he had consumed most of his true essence. After all, even though the Lifting Body Technique wasn't slow, it still consumed a lot of true essence.

"Thankfully, I saw the opportunity quickly, or else I would have gone all out!"

Xu Fan let out a breath of relief and looked for a big tree to climb. Only after climbing up the tree did he feel at ease to meditate and recover his true essence.

In fact, what Xu Fan didn't know was that the monster he had just encountered was a mid-Second Order Monstrous Beast, the Single Horned Bearer. This beast's strength was comparable to a Qi Disciple level 8 cultivator, and it had lost Xu Fan by a few blocks.

Demonic beasts also had their own rules, so they each had their own range and territory.

The Rhinoceros and the Black Wood Ash Wolf that Xu Fan had killed were in their respective territories. The two of them had always been calm, but Xu Fan had been completely engrossed in his search for spiritual herbs today. He had unknowingly entered the Rhinoceros' territory, which was why the Rhinoceros had given chase.

Under normal circumstances, Demon Beasts wouldn't easily cross the border because Demon Beasts had their own territory. Xu Fan just happened to be running towards the location of the Black Wood Blue Wolf, so the single-horned brown bear didn't continue chasing him. Otherwise, Xu Fan wouldn't be able to escape.

After two hours, Xu Fan had finished cultivating and recovered most of his spiritual energy. He hid in the tree and carefully looked around. When he didn't find any traces of that terrifying monster, he couldn't help but secretly sigh in relief.

Looking at the results of his battle in the Chaotic Tower, Xu Fan shook his head, thinking to himself, No wonder this place was called the forbidden area. Aside from spirit plants, there was also such a terrifying monster. F * ck, now that I have found a lot of spiritual herbs, it should be enough for me to cultivate for a while. It seems like I shouldn't risk my life for now.

Thinking of this, Xu Fan made a prompt decision. He turned his head to look in the direction the terrifying monster had appeared from, then immediately strode out of the valley.

"..."

Yan Xia City was the middle ranked city in the most eastern region of Chu Yun Country. It was a city thousands of miles away from the empire's forbidden area, with its back against the Spirit Peak Mountain. Because this place was close to the Spirit Peak Mountain and also had the barrier of the forbidden area, there wasn't a large army stationed here to defend. The entire city only had a small team of several hundred soldiers to maintain order within the city.

Although the Spirit Peak Mountain was filled with dangers, there were quite a few rare flowers, spirit herbs, heaven and earth treasures. These spirit herbs were worth quite a bit, and were all things that cultivators would dream of.

The Chu Yun Empire was founded on martial arts, and worshipped martial arts. In the entire country, martial arts cultivation was like the wind, from the emperor to the merchants, almost every single one of them cultivated. As a result, even though they knew that there was a forbidden area in the Spirit Peak Mountain where one would most likely die inside, there were still people who would venture into the mountain from time to time to search for treasures.

Even though Yan Xia City was a middle-class city, it was one of the most famous trading places in the Chu Yun Country. Every year, there were countless of precious spiritual medicines and herbs, as well as all kinds of expensive beast skins that flowed out from Yan Xia City.

Therefore, there were many shops here. Not only were there shops of small families, but all the big families of the empire set up shop here as well. Every day, there were endless streams of merchants and travelers passing by from this small city.
