C37 Eighth Stage of the Extreme Mortal Realm

A month later, the thirty fine iron swords were finally completed.

After thirty consecutive days of artifact forging and cultivation, Su Jue's cultivation had also improved quite a bit; he was only a step away from breaking through to the mid seventh stage.

Putting away the oven and weapons, Su Jue moved his gaze to the other side of the lake, where there was a passage.

He remembered that last time, those two mysterious people had entered through that tunnel.

"I wonder which passageway will lead to where?"

Curiosity made Su Jue dispel his plan to return to the Tianwu City.

Sticking close to the fiery hot stone wall, Su Jue slowly made his way to the other side of the lake.

Although it did not seem very far, Su Jue still took an entire hour to get outside the tunnel.

The passage was similar to the passage of His Highness, the Sky Fire Qi Refining, and there was also a flow of lava flowing into the magma lake.

Since he had come, Su Jue naturally could not retreat.

Once they entered the passage, Su Jue was on guard against the flowing lava as he looked above his head.

"There are traces of something crawling here?"

There were some very thin scratches on the wall above his head, and there were more than one of them.

He was wondering what exactly the thing that left the claw mark was. Suddenly, he heard a hissing sound coming out from the cave, before Su Jue could react, hundreds of fiery red bats rushed out from the cave.

"Fire Bat!"

Su Jue's expression froze. Although Fire Bats were low levelled beasts, they lived in groups and ate blood and fire as food. Even those with high cultivation would have to back off when facing a group of Fire Bats.

Thinking about that, Su Jue anxiously retreated, but the Fire Bat had already appeared in front of him.

Hundreds of fire bats was more than enough to kill Su Jue.

In a moment of desperation, Su Jue released her Black Turtle Armor, but it was clear that these fire bats treated him as food, and continued to attack her Black Tortoise Kai.

"F * ck!"

The anger in Su Jue's heart could not be quelled. He, a dignified Wild Emperor, was trapped by the little flying insect in this cave. It was simply a disgrace.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a small red snake flew out from the lava. Its long tongue instantly picked up a fire bat and returned to the lava.

"Fire Lizard!"

Su Jue was overjoyed. The Fire Lizard was the fire bat's natural enemy.

swish swish swish *

Small snakes continued to fly out from the lava flow. Very quickly, the fire bats beside Su Jue fled as if they were dead.

"Not good, hurry up and leave."

Even though the fire bat had left, the fire lizard was still alive. The fire lizard loved life forms rich in fire elemental energy, and as the Sun God, he was a great tonic for the fire lizard.

Whoosh.

Su Jue was already prepared for this. He did not even put a Fire Lizard in his eyes, and took out his Star Sword to touch it.

"Buzz!"

The fire lizard split into two, and a fire red bead fell from the sky. Su Jue reacted quickly and kept the fire red bead.

"Fire Pearl!"

The Fire Bead was in fact the Fire Lizard Core, it contained a strong and pure fire elemental energy, which was a good thing for Su Jue to raise his cultivation.

The death of one of the giant lizards caused the lava to calm down.

Su Jue retreated a few steps and leaned against the stone wall. He guessed that the Fire Lizard should be the leader of the Fire Lizards, and now that its leader was dead, they had to choose another leader. They wouldn't be searching for food until now.

However, this process would be very quick. It would likely only take a few breaths of time.

"First, absorb this fire bead."

Su Jue was really unable to resist the enticement of the Fire Pearl, his right hand crushed the Fire Pearl, and then activated the Flame God Incantation.

A surge of pure fire elemental energy entered the Divine Sun Tree. On the Divine Sun Tree, the fruits were even redder than before.

Rumble …

The dantian trembled and the Grand Sun Primordial Flame, which was already stable, started to churn.

"It's a seventh level middle stage martial artist. This fire bead is truly something good." Su Jue revealed a happy expression.

However, what made Su Jue suspicious was that the Fire Lizard had actually stopped attacking him, which made him a little disappointed.

"Looks like there's something to tempt me."

In order to increase his strength, Su Jue made up his mind. He took out his Star Sword and cut his own hand, then took out a jade coin.

The jade coin contained the power of heaven and earth to begin with, so it was extremely alluring to the Fire Lizard. With the addition of his own blood, he believed that the Fire Lizard would definitely appear.

Throwing the jade coin into the air, Su Jue raised his sword and prepared to attack.

swish swish *

Two consecutive sounds rang out, and the two fire lizards simultaneously flew up from the lava, their long tongues flying towards the jade coin.

"Good job."

When the sword was unleashed, both Fire Lizards died at the same time. But unfortunately, Su Jue only managed to obtain one Fire Pearl, and the other one fell into the lava flow.

After he absorbed another Fire Pearl, Su Jue estimated that he would be able to reach the late seventh stage by absorbing another four or five of them.

"Continue!"

The Fire Lizard seemed to yearn for Su Jue's blood very much. As Su Jue tossed out more and more blood, the amount of Fire Lizards that flew out from the lava also increased.

The highest number reached dozens.

Su Jue's cultivation continued to increase.

Ten days later.

On the wall, there was a piece of jade coin held in the mouth by a fine iron thread. The Fire Lizard kept flying out of the stream of lava, but without any surprise, its body was cut by a long sword.

This jade coin had already been used by Su Jue for five days. In these five days, it was unknown how many fire lizards died to Su Jue because of this jade coin.

And at this time, Su Jue's cultivation had already reached the peak of the seventh level, and the Stacked Fire Seal had also reached the fifteenth level.

The fifteen to seventeen stages of Stacked Fire Seal were able to refine third stage Star Soldier s.

Although not everyone who had reached the fifteenth stage of the Stacked Fire Seal could refine a third stage Star Soldier, Su Jue could. Not only was the grade of the Stacked Fire Seal higher than that of an ordinary artificer, because the Stacked Fire Seal was something that he had created for his own Grand Sun Primordial Flame.

"It's about time to leave."

These animal core could not only be used to cultivate, but they could also be used to refine spirit inject materials.

After keeping the jade coins on the stone wall, Su Jue walked into the cave. After walking for four hours, he finally reached the end.

"According to the route, we will be leaving the Tianwu City behind."

Su Jue raised his head and looked at the sky above the cave entrance, his heart calculating.

The cave entrance was over thirty meters from the ground, so it was naturally impossible for him to rely on his movement technique to fly up. Fortunately, there was a vine on the cave wall, so Su Jue managed to reach the ground very quickly.

"It's actually the Spider Monkey Forest!"

Su Jue never thought that he would be in the Spider Monkey Forest, and that it was an extremely secretive place. He was surrounded by many huge trees that reached into the sky, and even some secret manuals that were hidden in the brambles.

"Perfect, I can go to the Monkey Clan."

Su Jue, who originally wanted to go to the Monkey Clan, could not help but be happy.

Soon he would be rich.

Along the way, they travelled very fast. When they met demon beasts, Su Jue would also avoid them on his own, and would not take the initiative to fight them.

Finally, before sunset, Su Jue arrived at the monkey clan.

The little monkey was the first one to find him. Su Jue took out a fine steel rod that was at the Quasi-Star level that he specially prepared for the little monkey.

It was the little monkey's own wish to have the stick.

"Squeak squeak squeak." The little monkey continued to swing the heavy stick; it seemed to be very happy.

After playing for the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the little monkey finally had enough of it, and brought Su Jue to the monkey race's territory.

This time Su Jue did not see the giant ape, and it was still the gibbon chief who received him.

With the previous experience, the communication went much more smoothly.

Su Jue gave a total of ten bottles of Silver-ranked Monkey Wine to the leader and two other Star Soldier warriors.

Ten bottles of Monkey Wine was worth at least a hundred thousand jade coins. To the current Su Jue, this was a huge amount of wealth.

After the trade was completed, Su Jue drank wine and played around with the monkeys until deep into the night before returning to his living quarters. At this time, the little monkey came in with a gourd.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The little monkey exaggeratedly pointed to the bottle gourd in his hand, and then handed it over to Su Jue.

Su Jue opened the bottle gourd and smelled what was inside.

Gold rank Monkey Wine.

In terms of value, Gold rank Monkey Wine was comparable to ten bottles of Silver rank Monkey Wine. Furthermore, it had a price that was priceless, and probably did not even have a single bottle in Tianwu City.

Those that were lucky enough to drink the Gold Monkey Wine were undoubtedly all people with good fortune.

Although Su Jue had drank it before in his previous life, he still bought it.

But now, it was given to him by the monkey clan. This feeling was completely different.

Hugging the bottle gourd, a cool and refreshing liquid instantly flowed into Su Jue's throat.

Gold Monkey Wine was completely different from silver. Silver Monkey Wine was extremely strong and spicy, but it gave one the pleasure of stimulating the body.

On the other hand, the Gold rank Monkey Wine was very plain, very cool and even had a sweet taste.

However, in the next moment, a feeling of floating began to spread through Su Jue's body, as if his body was slowly floating up to the sky.

Immediately after, Su Jue staggered, and his entire body fell crookedly onto the bed.

"Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak!" The little monkey fell to the ground and continued to pat its belly while laughing maniacally.

This time, Su Jue slept soundly, as if he had passed away. It was only until the morning of the next day that he woke up.

After waking up, Su Jue felt that his head had become much clearer. This was the sign of his mental strength increasing.

More importantly, his cultivation had actually broken through.

"The eighth level of the Extreme Mortal Stage!"

Su Jue's heart was full, he only slept for a short while before breaking through, the Gold rank Monkey Wine was indeed strange.

The eighth stage of cultivation was already at the middle stage of the Refinement Realm, but Su Jue's five visceras were now even more powerful.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Just then, the little monkey came and carried the refined iron rod that Su Jue had given him.

"Zhizhi!"

The little monkey said loudly while holding the stick.

Su Jue frowned, because the little monkey's call meant that it wanted to fight.

Very quickly, Su Jue was pulled away from his territory by the little monkey and arrived on a patch of grass.

"Earth Spirit Fruit!"

Su Jue looked at a small fruit on the ground in surprise, and then, something even more surprising happened.

On the grass in front of him, there were all kinds of strange flowers and fruits.

"Tiger Tail Grass, Blood Clotting Flower and Soul Gathering Grass, this is a natural spirit garden!"

Just as Su Jue was startled, he heard the sound of battle coming from afar. Su Jue immediately ran forward, and from afar, he saw a group of monkeys fighting with more spiders.

"Monkey and Spider Clan!"

These were the two largest races in the Spider Monkey Forest. These two races were actually fighting.

"No wonder they wanted to trade with me for a weapon. So it's because they want to fight with the Spider Race for the Spirit Garden."

The natural spirit garden was extremely rare, making it the best territory for any kind of demon beast.

And in this Spider Monkey Forest, there were naturally two races that had the qualification to own this territory: the Monkey Tribe and the Spider Tribe. However, it seemed that these two races did not intend to own this spirit garden together.

In the world of demon beasts, there are no compromises to territory, only battles.

In terms of numbers, these two species of monkeys were obviously not as numerous as the spider race, but the monkeys had stronger combat capabilities and were even smarter. Now, they even had weapons.

The balance of power did not last for a quarter of an hour. Soon, the Spider Tribe was at a disadvantage.

"Ruff."

Just at this moment, dozens of terrifying black spiders appeared one after another. The monkey tribe didn't show any signs of weakening. Several large apes flew down from the trees and began to fight with the spiders.

Although the strength of a few big apes had greatly increased, they were clearly outnumbered and were soon at a disadvantage. One of them was even injured and was about to be killed by the black spider.

"Roar!"

Su Jue immediately took action.

Since he was doing business with the monkey, it was reasonable for him to protect his business partners.

Although the Black Spider was strong, it was nothing to the current Su Jue.

"Tiger Slaying Fist!"

The sword cut down and a black spider was instantly cut into two halves.

Facing the monkey clan's sudden reinforcement, the Spider Race quickly retreated.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The leader started to thank Su Jue and asked him what the reward was.

Su Jue looked around, and then picked up a Spirit Gathering Grass from the ground and said: "I'll take this."

"Creak!"

The monkey clan seemed to be extremely disdainful, obviously looking down on this Soul Gathering Grass.

Su Jue laughed, and did not try to explain, the Spirit Gathering Grass was extremely useful to him.

After returning to the Hou Clan, the Monkey King took out another bottle gourd of Gold rank Monkey Wine as a reward for Su Jue's battle achievements.

Su Jue did not refuse, and after a discussion with the Monkey King, he set a number for the next transaction.

Twenty first stage Star Soldier s, five second stage Star Soldier s, one third stage Star Soldier, and five hundred fine iron weapons.

This was a very large number. Ordinary refiners would need to spend at least three months in this world even if they had the materials. If they didn't have the materials, then they might need at least a year or so.

However, Su Jue did not care, his refining skills were much better than ordinary equipment forgers.

On the other hand, the price given by the Monkey Clan was 150 bottles of Silver Monkey Wine, 10 bottles of Gold Monkey Wine, and a single bottle of Jade Monkey Wine.

Su Jue had earned a lot now.

A single bottle of Jade Grade Monkey Wine was worth millions, much more precious than a Star Soldier of the third step.

As for the remaining gold and silver products, they could be sold for at least two million.

It could be said to be extremely profitable.
