In the end, Xia Weiwei happily accepted Xu Fan's high-grade Qi Returning Pill.

However, after her excitement died down, Xia Weiwei immediately reacted. Her beautiful face flushed red, and she fiercely asked Xu Fan, saying, "Since you know this lady is a girl, why did you still deliberately touch her hand?"

Suddenly, Xu Fan was covered in cold sweat. He hurriedly said it wasn't intentional and even apologized.

However, Xia Weiwei refused to budge. In the end, Xu Fan had no choice but to take out another high-grade Qi Refining Pill and give it to Xia Weiwei. He even promised to help Xia Weiwei concoct pills in the future, so Xia Weiwei let him go.

However, Xu Fan's face was filled with grief and indignation as he lowered his head and walked forward. This brat didn't know that behind him, Xia Weiwei was waving her little fists, revealing a complacent smile like a fox that had succeeded in his treachery.

After the contact and the pill gift incident, Xu Fan and Xia Weiwei quickly became familiar with each other. Xia Weiwei also believed in Xu Fan as a cultivator. She told Xu Fan that she was going to go to the Spirit Peak Mountain to hunt some demon beasts and then sell them in the market.

Under Xia Weiwei's lead, the two of them walked along the mountain range into the depths.

After walking for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Xia Weiwei suddenly took a step forward and called out to Xu Fan, "Country bumpkin, we're going to enter the place where the demon beasts frequently come from. It's best if you follow behind me and don't run around.

Xu Fan didn't have much of an idea of what Xia Weiwei was talking about, so he curiously asked, "Are the demon beasts here very powerful?"

Xia Weiwei had a serious expression on her face as she said very cautiously, "Yes, most of the demon beasts here are from the first to second stage and are very powerful."

Xu Fan frowned. He didn't have any concept of demon beasts. He didn't know what a demon beast was from the start, nor did he know how powerful Rank One or Rank Two demon beasts were. He asked, "How strong are they?" Can you handle it? "

Xia Weiwei wrinkled her nose, seeming to be very unsatisfied with Xu Fan's question. She unhappily said, "Are you a cultivator or something? You don't even know Level 1 or 2 demon beasts? What a fool. If I can't deal with them, then why are you hunting them? Isn't that just throwing your life away?"

"Ugh …"

Xu Fan laughed in embarrassment. Xia Weiwei then said, "I really don't know how you cultivate. Don't tell me you don't know anything and only know how to refine pills?"

Xia Weiwei's words weren't wrong. In reality, besides being able to refine pills, Xu Fan was just as she had said. He was muddle-headed. Even the Brahma Monarch's Stellar Body Tempering Scripture and the three to nine times divine forging techniques he cultivated were cultivated on his own.

It was rare for Xu Fan to be modest for a bit. He embarrassedly said, "Weiwei, other than refining pills, I really don't understand many things. Why don't you tell me more about the cultivation world?"

Xia Weiwei also did not notice the change in address of this guy. She rolled her eyes and explained, "Rank 1 beasts are equivalent to our level 4 Qi Disciple stage, and rank 2 beasts are equivalent to level 8 Qi Cultivation stage. Level 3 beasts are equivalent to great circle of perfection of the Qi Cultivation stage."

"Ah?!" "So powerful!"

Xu Fan was slightly surprised as he calculated in his heart. Wouldn't that mean that he was even inferior to a Rank 1 Demonic Beast? However, this Xia Weiwei was indeed powerful. Since she could deal with Rank 2 Demonic Beasts, didn't that mean that her cultivation was above the eighth level? No wonder this girl was so daring to come here and hunt Demonic Beasts by herself.

"Right."

After pausing for a moment, she explained, "What I just said is just a general idea. In fact, demon beasts are more powerful than cultivators of the same realm like us, after all, demon beasts are very powerful in defense, especially some mutated demon beasts or special demon beasts. They are far more powerful than us, human cultivators of the same realm."

"Alright, I'll follow behind you. I'll be responsible for finding the Spirit Grass. If you find any demon beasts, you can deal with them."

Xu Fan didn't try to be brave. He thought to himself that with such a high-level fighter by his side, he would find some more spiritual herbs to plant in the Seven Chaos Tower. He would wait for the Earth Fire to be found before refining some more pills.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, Xu Fan was able to find a few stalks of spirit grass. Although they were all very young, with the Chaotic Seven Stars Tower that could speed up time, age wasn't a problem for Xu Fan.

"Right, Weiwei, what are your uses in hunting demon beasts? Could it be that the demon beast meat is very delicious? "

Xu Fan suddenly remembered that he still had the corpse of a giant four-winged python and a black wolf in his Primal Chaos Tower. Although he had eaten most of the meat from the two demon beasts, he still had a lot of bones and leather left, so he casually asked.

Xia Weiwei rolled her eyes and said speechlessly, "It can't be, bumpkin. You don't even know this?"

Seeing Xu Fan's embarrassed appearance, she couldn't help but laugh. "You really are a bumpkin. Luckily, you met me. If you met someone else, they would sell you for a sum of money."

"Eh …" Xu Fan was embarrassed and said in embarrassment, "If I didn't meet you, I wouldn't even be bothered to ask him."

Xia Weiwei pouted and said, "Okay, since you are so silly and stupid, let me tell you, this demon beast's entire body is filled with treasures, like bones, leather, teeth, sharp claws, these things can be used to refine demon cores, blood, demon beast meat, and so on. However, there are very few people who know how to use demon beast blood and meat to concoct pills, and there are a few who know how to use demon cores to refine pills."

Xia Weiwei suddenly looked at Xu Fan and said, "That's right, bumpkin. Don't you know how to concoct pills? Then do you know how to use demonic pills to concoct pills?"

"Demonic Core?"

Xu Fan searched through the Alchemy Scripture's various alchemy methods and recipes, and found that there was indeed such a alchemy material, but he didn't know what a demonic pill was, so he replied, "Using demonic pills to refine pills, I do know a few methods and recipes."

"Really? "Great, I'll give you the beast hunting demonic core this time. But, you must give me one of the demonic core that you refined. How about it?"

Xia Weiwei was overjoyed. She had heard that using beast cores to refine pills was very useful in breaking through bottlenecks. Now that she was at the peak of Qi Disciple level 10, she naturally hoped to have a beast core to refine pills to break through bottlenecks.

However, just as Xia Weiwei was looking hopefully at Xu Fan, this fellow spoke with a confused tone, "No problem. But can you tell me what a beast core is first?"

Xia Weiwei was speechless. She looked at Xu Fan as if she was looking at a monster. "You don't even know about beast cores?"

"This... Can't you? "

Xu Fan looked innocently at Xia Weiwei and asked weakly.

"Sure, why not?"

Xia Weiwei was both annoyed and amused by his expression, and then she suspiciously asked, "Stinky bumpkin, you aren't lying to me, right? Since you know how to use demonic cores to refine pills, why don't you know what that is? "

This time, Xia Weiwei had wronged Xu Fan. Although he knew how to use demonic pills to concoct pills, that was only because he had read about it in the Alchemy Scripture. As for the ingredients in the Alchemy Scripture, he had no idea what they were and where he could get them from.

As for the demonic core, there was basically no cultivator that didn't know anything about it. Thus, the scripture didn't have much information on this sort of thing, unlike spirit plants. The scripture also had an explanation of it that Xu Fan would be able to recognize if he saw the shape of the spirit grass.

Xu Fan innocently said, rolling his eyes, "I know how to use beast cores to refine pills, but that's what I read in some ancient books. How would I know what a beast core is, and besides, there are so many ingredients to make it.

Xia Weiwei stared at Xu Fan for a long time. Finally, she said doubtfully, "Okay, even if you're right, I'll tell you this. This demonic core is where demon essence is stored. Demonic beasts are different from us humans. They absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and convert it into demonic spiritual energy to store in demonic cores. Therefore, this demonic core is similar to our dantian.

Xu Fan suddenly understood. "Understood. You should have told me earlier. I thought it was some sort of heavenly material or earthly treasure."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly said in his heart, "So using demonic cores to refine pills is actually refining demonic spiritual energy into the spiritual energy that we can absorb when we cultivate. However, the Alchemy Scripture says that refining a demonic pill requires one to be able to cultivate an inner flame or some special flame that can help a cultivator break through."

In reality, the Alchemy Scripture recorded down to ten different types of medicinal pills. For example, Demon Spirit Pills and Berserk Pills, these were all refined using Demonic Pills. However, Xu Fan had only studied a few crude pill recipes and methods.

Suddenly, Xu Fan remembered that when he was dealing with the corpse of the giant python in the Seven Chaos Tower, he seemed to have thrown away something the size of a ping pong ball in front of his internal organs. Could that thing be a beast core?

Thinking of this, Xu Fan couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being blind and not being able to recognize the jade inlaid with gold. Otherwise, he could have taken it out for Xia Weiwei to see now.

"How can there be so many treasures?"

Just when Xu Fan was secretly upset, Xia Weiwei glared at him and said, "Being able to obtain a beast core is already good enough. Usually, only peak rank 2 beasts or higher have a beast core like this, because the beast's essence contains a large amount of violent demon essence. So, for us cultivators to consume it, we must refine it into a pill." In addition, the higher the rank of a demonic beast, the better the demonic core would be, and the more valuable it would be. After that, the most valuable thing that remained on the demonic beast was the materials needed for refining. "Hunting a Rank 1 Demonic Beast can usually be sold for about 500 Spirit Stones; the better ones can be sold for about 700 to 800; and a Rank 2 Demonic Beast can be sold for at least 2000 Spirit Stones. If one is lucky, then this Rank 2 Demonic Beast will have a Demonic Core, which is even more valuable."

When Xia Weiwei mentioned spirit stones, Xu Fan's eyes lit up. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Weiwei, do you really need spirit stones?"

Xia Weiwei said snappily, "Of course there's a shortage. Do you need any pills for cultivation? You don't need to buy the pills with spirit stones? Do you really think that others can refine their own pills like you? Besides, if you want to exchange for a better magical equipment, don't you need spirit stones to do so? "

Xia Weiwei glanced at Xu Fan with a bit of envy and suspicion, "Oh right, the pills you refined are all top quality. Xia Weiwei looked at Xu Fan with a bit of suspicion and envy," Oh yeah, the pills you refined are all high quality.

Xu Fan chuckled, "Actually, it's not all high-grade, it's just that the one I gave you was high-grade."

This sentence was not wrong, but he had forgotten that the majority of the pills he refined were of high quality. Even if they weren't of high quality, they were usually of medium quality.

Xia Weiwei's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard Xu Fan.

"Eh? There's a stalk of Seven Stars Grass there! "

Suddenly, Xia Weiwei pointed at a clump of trees in front of them and shouted excitedly. But before she could dig up the place, she heard the low roar of a demon beast coming from the clump of trees.

Xia Weiwei immediately stopped and took out a flying sword and a shield. She called out to Xu Fan, "Country bumpkin, hurry behind me. There's a demon beast in front."

Xu Fan didn't dare to be careless after hearing Xia Weiwei's call. He quickly took a few steps back and walked behind Xia Weiwei. Just as he was about to step back, a black shadow jumped out from the bushes and pounced toward the two of them.

"Divine Light Sword, go!"

Xia Weiwei let out a tender shout, and with a wave of her hand, a sword light slashed towards the black shadow. At the same time, she raised her shield to block Xu Fan and herself behind her.

"Puchi!"

The flying sword streaked past the black shadow's body, bringing with it a trail of blood, obviously having killed the black shadow. The black shadow landed on the ground with a plop, its lantern sized eyes staring coldly at Xia Weiwei, its whole body emitting a ferocious aura.

However, because of the previous strike, the demonic beast that suffered a loss seemed to be somewhat afraid of the flying sword in her hands.

Xu Fan stood behind Xia Weiwei and saw very clearly that the black shadow was actually a huge spider. This spider had eight feet long, arms and mother legs, and its body was several times the size of a basin.

"Level 2 Ice Serpentine Spider!"

However, in the next moment, her face also became serious. She turned around and said to Xu Fan, "Retreat a bit further, this Level 2 Ice Serpent Spider is very powerful, not only is its legs extremely hard, but it also has venom spewing out of its body. Only under its neck is it the weakest.

Xu Fan couldn't help but be moved. He thought to himself, This girl really cares about me, but if I want to kill this spider, I can just throw it a grenade or just use a gun to kill it.

Of course, this was just a thought on Xu Fan's part. This fellow didn't want to easily expose his ability to survive. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he decided to use fewer grenades and less handguns. Hearing this, he obediently took a few steps back.

At this time, perhaps because it had discovered that Xu Fan was showing signs of running away, the Ice Snake Spider suddenly let out a long hiss. Its ugly big mouth roared, and it actually pounced towards the retreating Xu Fan.

"Be careful!"

Xia Weiwei was shocked. She moved to protect Xu Fan behind her, and with a thought, her flying sword once again slashed at the Ice Serpentine Spider.

At the same time, she raised the shield in her hand to seal off the attack of the Ice Snake Spiders.

The Frost Snake was able to sense the power of the flying sword so it retracted its body in mid-air and swung a four feet long leg at the flying sword.

"Bam!"

The flying sword collided with the Ice Serpentine Spider's thick and solid leg. The huge force forced the Ice Serpentine Spider to take a step back, but Xia Weiwei's flying sword was also blocked by the Ice Serpent Spider.

Although Xia Weiwei had blocked the attack of the Ice Serpent Spider, allowing Xu Fan to safely retreat far away, this fellow was still greatly shocked. His expression became somewhat ugly.

"NND, do you think it's a sick cat if the tiger doesn't show its might?! This attack from the Ice Serpent Spider immediately angered our great deity Xu."

Originally, this fellow had planned to stay at the side and watch the fun while also looking at Xia Weiwei's strength, but who knew that the smell from her body would attract the attention of this Ice Serpentine Spider. Furthermore, once this fellow took a step back, the Ice Serpentine Spider immediately thought that he was afraid of being bullied, so it immediately launched an attack on him.

In reality, ever since Xu Fan had broken through to the first layer of the Brahma Monarch's Body Tempering Scripture, not only had his muscles and marrows been washed, all of his meridians had been greatly strengthened and expanded, and his body had undergone an earth-shattering change because of the massive amount of spiritual energy and star power he had absorbed.

At the moment, Xu Fan's skin was crystal clear, like beautiful jade, and his strength and tenacity had reached a very abnormal level. On the other hand, his body had a very special and pleasant smell after being cleansed by spiritual energy. This smell was not very obvious to cultivators at the moment, but it had a fatal attraction to demon beasts with a keen sense of smell.

This was the reason why the Frost Snake Spider had taken the initiative to attack Xu Fan.

However, he didn't know much about Xu Fan, who was treated as a delicacy by the demon beasts. He was only very angry.

If Great Immortal Xu became angry, the consequences would be grave!

"Stupid spider, this young master is so easy to bully!"

Having been blocked by Xia Weiwei, Xu Fan was immediately enraged. Without saying anything further, two fireballs shot out like the blazing sun. These two fireballs were as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, they smashed into the Ice Serpent Spider on the ground.

The Ice Serpent Spider bared its fangs at Xu Fan as if it disdained his attack. It raised its two sturdy legs to block the incoming fireball.

The next moment.

"Boom boom!"

The inconspicuous fireball collided with the giant leg of the Ice Serpent Spider in an instant. The flames spread and created a loud explosion.

The Ice Serpent Spider had clearly underestimated the fireball Xu Fan had shot out. It was instantly disfigured by the scorching flames, and even more miserably, it was knocked into the air by the fireball's huge impact.

"Ah?!"

Xia Weiwei, who was standing at the side, was completely dumbfounded. Such a great opportunity, she had completely forgotten about waiting for the opportunity to release her flying sword and attack the Ice Serpentine Spider. After a long while, she opened her big watery eyes and asked curiously, "Bastard, you …" "What spell is this?"

"Fireball!"

Xu Fan rolled his eyes. Without even looking at the curious baby, he immediately shot out another three fireballs at the Ice Serpent Spider before it could even roll over.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The Ice Serpentine Spider screamed miserably as it was burnt by the fireball. Its eyes revealed a look of fear as it swung its eight giant legs in the air in an attempt to flip over.

"Is this still Fireball?" How could there be such a powerful fireball technique? "

Xia Weiwei had a look of disbelief on her face as she muttered to herself. At this moment, she had become a spectator who was just about to put on some soy sauce.

Xu Fan didn't use his flying sword or the Eight Wave Breaking Sword Technique he had just learned. Instead, he continued to use fireballs to attack the Ice Snake Spider.

However, this fellow soon discovered that the fireball, which could have burned a hole in the stone wall, was now out of order. The fireball could only leave a faint white mark on the hard armor of the Frost Silk Spiders, and although the neck area of the Ice Silk Spiders was its weakness, because of the tight armor and only a tiny crack on it, the fireball he shot out was unable to deal any effective damage to the Frost Snake Spider.

"Hey, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and help kill him!"

Xu Fan saw that it wasn't going to work, and immediately called out to Xia Weiwei, who was standing there in a daze.

"Oh, oh!"

Xia Weiwei came back to her senses and immediately released the flying sword in her hand. She combined it with Xu Fan's attack to attack the Frost Silk Spiders that were still spinning on the ground.

Although the Ice Serpent Spider was a spider type demon beast, its entire body was like a turtle's thick armor. In fact, it was much stronger than a turtle's armor.

In addition to the solid armor on its back, the Icy Silk Spiders also had a layer of hard armor on its belly and below its belly. Its eight legs were extremely sharp, and only a small part of the armor was exposed, which was the Icicle Spider's only weakness.

Although Xu Fan's fireball was powerful, it wouldn't be able to break through the hard armor of the Ice Serpent Spider in a short period of time. Although Xia Weiwei was a bit unreliable, she had a good understanding of the Ice Serpents Spider, so she immediately ordered her flying sword to slash towards its neck.

"Puff puff puff!"

The flying sword quickly slashed across the Ice Serpent Spider's neck. Every time it did, it would leave behind a deep bloody wound and a spray of blood that filled the sky. Although the Ice Serpent Spider roared in anxiety, it didn't have any other choice. It could only transfer the arrow on the ground to Xia Weiwei as a target.

With the help of the powerful Xia Weiwei, Xu Fan stopped continuously releasing fireballs. Instead, whenever he saw that the Ice Serpent Spider was about to flip over, he would quickly release a fireball and accurately spin the Ice Serpent Spider on the ground, continuing to maintain his turning over state. Under the clever cooperation of the two of them, a moment later, the rank two demon beast's head was chopped off by Xia Weiwei's flying sword.

Xu Fan and Xia Weiwei simultaneously let out a sigh of relief, especially Xia Weiwei, whose pretty face was filled with excitement.

All of this took a long time to describe, but in reality, from the appearance of the Ice Serpent Spider to being killed by the two of them, not even an incense stick of time had passed.

During the entire hunting process, Xu Fan and Xia Weiwei didn't dare to breathe too loudly. The entire body of this Ice Serpentine Spider was extremely hard. Its eight thick legs were like eight sharp sabers; a single mistake could take a person's life at any time.

"We killed this Level 2 Icy Serpent Spider just like that?"

Xia Weiwei looked at the motionless corpse as if she was in a dream. She rubbed her eyes and asked in disbelief.

Xu Fan said unhappily, "Isn't that nonsense?" Didn't you see that the head of this demon beast was chopped off by you? "

"We're rich! Country bumpkin, we're rich!"

Hearing Xu Fan's confirmation, Xia Weiwei was so happy that she almost jumped up and shouted at him.

"Isn't it just two thousand spirit stones?" is it even worth your excitement? "

Xu Fan rolled his eyes and said with extreme disdain.

Xia Weiwei didn't seem to care about Xu Fan's contemptuous gaze at all. She excitedly said, "What 2000 spirit stones? This Icedream Spider is worth at least 10,000 spirit stones."

Xu Fan's face was full of doubt. "Didn't you say rank 2 beasts are only worth around two thousand spiritual stones?"

Xia Weiwei smiled like a flower as she looked at Xu Fan, then giggled, "Who said that this Frost Snake Spider was a Rank Two demon beast?"

"Eh …"

Xu Fan was speechless, "Didn't you say that earlier?" You said it could be a mid-Second Order demon beast. "

"Hee hee!" I was wrong! This Ice Serpent Spider is actually a Rank 3 Demonic Beast! "

"…"

Xu Fan staggered and almost fell to the ground.

How could a demonic beast's rank be so easily judged? If this demonic beast was a Fourth Order or even more powerful demonic beast, wouldn't the two of them be unable to kill it? Instead, they would become its food? Damn, it seemed like this girl was really unreliable. She had no experience at all, but she was still an expert at Qi Disciple level 9. She couldn't even compare to a rookie like him.

Seeing Xu Fan's gloomy expression, Xia Weiwei stuck out her tongue and made a face, then said embarrassedly, "Hey, bumpkin, what kind of expression do you have on your face? You can't blame me for that. This Frost Silk Spiders probably just advanced not long ago, so the aura it releases isn't very obvious, so …" That's why I was wrong. "

Xu Fan curled his lips and asked curiously, "Then how do you know it's a Rank 3 and not a Rank 2 demon beast?"

Xia Weiwei said happily, "Just now when I saw you knock it down, I saw that its abdomen was covered with armor. In this case, only the third stage Ice Serpent Spider would appear.

"..."
