Chapter 56: Unexpected Encounters and Confusion

“Boom.”

The corpse of a massive monster fell heavily. With a swift move, Li Su extracted its core. It was another demonic beast at the second level of the Golden Core.

The quality of the spiritual herbs guarded by the golden core stage monster beasts was excellent, and a considerable quantity of them was suitable for refining elixirs for the golden core stage. It was such a good harvest.

This secret place seemed to be a den of monsters but also contained many valuable spiritual herbs and two golden core stage demonic beasts. Their inner alchemy and other items valued for alchemy and refining purposes.

Li Su’s cultivation increased to the sixth level of the Golden Core after absorbing the accumulated power for 1000 years. He continued searching with Qin Xiaoyue.

As the night wore on, they approached the central area. Though vast, the secret place wasn’t boundless. Li Su’s spiritual consciousness covered about half of it, facilitating their search for treasures and herbs.

However, Li Su’s consciousness hit an obstruction, alarming a powerful monster. Thousands of birds flew into the sky, and the trees shook violently around the monster.

“Roar!”

A monster surrounded by purple lightning emerged and charged directly at Li Su. The sky darkened as dense black clouds appeared, concealing the faint light of day. Lightning crackled within the clouds, brewing its fury.

“Be cautious, Senior Brother! It’s a Purple Lightning Spray Cloud Beast, and its purple thunder is extremely powerful!” warned Qin Xiaoyue, who recognized the creature.

Li Su hadn’t heard of this beast before, but its name suggested it excelled in using thunder and lightning. As Qin Xiaoyue spoke, a bolt of lightning struck from a distance.

When Li Su raised his head, a dark iron shield blocked the attack.

“Boom.”

The black iron shield trembled, and it was charred. It was impressive. A few more strikes and this high-grade spiritual weapon Black Iron Shield won’t hold up.

“This guy is approaching the later stage. Qin, you should retreat first!”

“Okay!” Qin Xiaoyue knew she would only be a burden and quickly stepped back.

Li Su activated his true energy, facing a formidable monster for the first time.

In battles between cultivators, many factors came into play, such as cultivation level, combat techniques, manuals, magic tools, and talismans, among others, all of which could influence the outcome. Spellcasting speed, reaction time, the application of techniques, and skillful use of magic tools were also crucial.

When facing monsters, sometimes the fight could be relatively simple. However, monsters were born fighters, and though they might not have many skills or magic tools, their combat experience was vast. Therefore, Li Su remained vigilant.

His most potent magic tool was the set of low-grade spiritual weapon-level flying immortal swords. Li Su wielded them, launching relentless attacks.

The Purple Lightning Spray Cloud Beast closed in quickly, releasing powerful purple lightning that occasionally struck Li Su from the black clouds in the sky. Furthermore, its claws were razor-sharp, but Li Su’s Flying Immortal Sword kept it at bay.

Li Su’s 24 flying swords kept attacking continuously. His first-grade golden elixir provided ample true energy, and Li Su went all out.

Brother Li is truly powerful! Qin Xiaoyue thought from a distance, having realized the immense strength of the monster.

Despite battling for some time, Li Su uttered a long cry, and his 24 flying swords moved in unity. Although the Purple Lightning Spray Cloud Beast reacted swiftly, it couldn’t defend or evade this time and was beheaded by a sword.

Watching the corpse of the Purple Lightning Spray Cloud Beast fall from the sky, Li Su smiled.

After absorbing the cultivation of 1000 years, Li Su broke through to the seventh level of the Golden Core in one fell swoop!

He was just short of making the breakthrough, but the recent battle enlightened him. After realizing he was almost there, Li Su took out a decent spiritual herb and consumed it directly. By converting the herb’s essence through the battle, Li Su reached the seventh layer of the Golden Core.

Ideally, the spiritual herbs should be refined into pills, as their efficiency would be low when eaten raw. Moreover, they were difficult to preserve once picked. Therefore they were usually used as alchemical materials. Only monsters preferred to eat them raw as they didn’t know how to make pills.

Li Su was the genuine Golden Core Late Stage elder. He approached the corpse of the Purple Lightning Spray Cloud Beast and stored away its inner alchemy.

“Senior Brother Li, there’s still a Thunder Pill inside the Purple Lightning Spray Cloud Beast’s body.” Qin Xiaoyue said.

“What’s that? Thunder Pill?” Qin Xiaoyue quickly found the Thunder Pill, took it out, and handed it to Li Su.

“Besides that, there are quite a few valuable items on the Purple Lightning Spray Cloud Beast,” Qin Xiaoyue gathered all the usable things and gave them to Li Su. Finally, she retrieved an item from the beast’s body.

“Brother Li, this is the love capsule of the Purple Lightning Spray Cloud Beast. After some processing, it could be used to refine a pill that enhances physical fitness. Oops, it broke! No wonder it smells so good.”

Halfway through her sentence, Qin Xiaoyue realized something was wrong. The Purple Lightning Spray Cloud Beast’s love capsule had already broken, and a strange fragrance filled the air.

Trouble, she thought.

She suddenly realized something, but it was too late. Her eyes became confused, and a strange feeling spread throughout her body. At this moment, Qin Xiaoyue was overwhelmed with intense feelings for Li Su. On the other side, even Li Su was affected without any defenses.

“Brother…” Qin Xiaoyue’s affection for Li Su surged, and then she threw herself into his arms.
