Three days later.

The night was dark.

In the depths of the Red Fire Forest, a demon beast the size of a wild dog that looked like a domestic cat was moving rapidly in the forest, its golden eyes looking back from time to time, and its eyes were full of panic.

"Whoosh!"

In vain, a white shadow swept by, hitting the body of the house cat demon beast, and a hoarse cry came out of its mouth, and the figure fell from a tree.

The white shadow that hit the domestic cat demon beast turned a corner in the forest, and then fell into the palm of the flesh, and it was a nail magic weapon in the shape of a bone. At the same time, with the sound of small footsteps, a fat man in a blue loose robe stepped out of the shadows of the woods.

"Meow!"

The house cat monster screamed at the fat man like a warning, and all the swarthy hair exploded, and a large needle-like light shot out.

Seeing this, the fat man calmly raised his hands, only to see that the golden light covered the skin of his hands, and there was a faint metallic light.

The needle-like light was blocked by the fat man's waving hands, making a "ding" sound, and finally all fell to the ground.

After the attack failed, the aura of the house cat demon beast became weaker, and the abdomen was pierced by the nail magic weapon and bled nonstop, and after trying to escape a few steps, it quickly collapsed and fell to the ground.

The demon beast is cunning by nature, the fat man did not approach recklessly, but sacrificed the nail magic weapon and aimed at the head of the domestic cat demon beast, and after the magic weapon pierced its head and confirmed that it was no longer lifeless, the fat man put away the magic weapon and stepped forward.

"Finally got you." Lifting the corpse of the domestic cat demon beast on the ground, a sincere smile appeared on the fat man's face.

This fat man who appeared in the Red Fire Forest in the middle of the night was Lao Tan after leaving the Xiao family.

That day, after saying goodbye to Xiao Ao, Lao Tan left Chiyun City.

Although it was a pity that he couldn't find the old man who sold the Guiyuan Sword Formation, Lao Tan still decided to leave Chiyun City first, not because he was afraid of the people of the Xiao family, but because Lao Tan had his own plan since he decided to become a casual cultivator.

The status of scattered cultivation in the world of cultivating immortals is not high, and the main reason is that the resources of cultivating immortals are far inferior to those of the immortal cultivation sects that occupy vast resources.

Coupled with the thinness of the scattered cultivators, it is even more impossible to compare with the Immortal Cultivation Family and the Immortal Cultivation Sect. However, there are naturally benefits to casual practice. There are no restrictions on casual cultivation, you can go wherever you like, and the benefits you get outside do not need to be handed over to the family or sect.

After leaving the Xiao family, in order to continue his cultivation, Lao Tan came to the Red Fire Forest to obtain suitable "ingredients" by hunting the demon beasts here.

Now the carcass of the civet cat that Lao Tan is carrying in his hand is tonight's dinner.

The Red Fire Forest at night is more dangerous than during the day, and although this place is only located on the outskirts of the Red Fire Forest, Lao Tan doesn't dare to stay here longer.

Carrying the corpse of the civet cat back to the cave where he had hunted the flame marten with Zhao Ganglie, Lao Tan sat on the ground, and then skillfully skinned, disemboweled, and pulled out the internal organs of the civet cat.

Because he was not sure if the internal organs and fur of the demon beast were of any other use, Lao Tan just washed the internal organs and fur he took out and put them into the system backpack, and then used a steel fork to skewer the meat of the civet cat and burn it on the fire.

This civet cat is only a first-order low-grade demon beast, equivalent to a monk from the first to the third level in the Qi refining period, and although its skin and flesh are tough, it is not as good as the previous flame marten.

After burning for more than half an hour, the meat on the steel fork began to bubble up with oil and water, and the whole body turned golden brown. Seeing this, Lao Tan immediately took out some salt and bee pulp from the system backpack and applied it.

These cooking props, steel forks and salt bee pulp used, were all bought by Lao Tan in Chiyun City, and he planned to live in the Red Fire Forest for the next few days, so he made some more preparations before coming.

Then another quarter of an hour passed, and the civet cat meat in front of him was finally cooked, and the system immediately popped up a message that made Lao Tan feel happy.

System: You have completed a new dish, please name it.

Lao Tan thought about it and gave it a domineering name called "braised tiger meat".

Braised tiger meat: aura dish, price: yellow grade, edible.

Lao Tan was not afraid of burning his mouth, he lowered his head and took a bite, and after chewing a few bites, a sweet fragrance burst out of his mouth, making his eyes light up.

System: You devour braised tiger meat and gain 0.7 units of aura.

A bite of braised tiger meat has nearly 1 unit of aura, Lao Tan couldn't help but sigh that the meat of the demon beast is really a great tonic, so he lowered his head and ate wildly, and soon ate a civet cat the size of a wild dog into his stomach.

Wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouth with his hands, and burped with satisfaction, the taste of the monster meat is good, probably because of the addition of salt and bee pulp, the taste is even better than the monster meat I ate last time.

Eating the whole braised tiger meat into his stomach, Lao Tan obtained a total of 45 units of aura, and the effect was many times stronger than a bowl of Huo Geng crucian carp soup.

Then it was meditation and refining, and it took two hours, and after refining Lao Tan exhaled a large amount of steam from his mouth for the last time, and opened the exercises, there was still a lack of more than 700 units of spiritual energy from the fifth layer of qi refining.

"For the next period of time, I'll just stay in the Red Fire Forest, there are rich resources of demon beasts here, and there are a lot of spiritual herbs and elixirs that grow everywhere, these resources are very suitable for being used as 'ingredients', the only trouble is that the Red Fire Forest is too dangerous at night, I don't know if the cave where this flame marten lives is safe?"

Lao Tan had thought about going back to Chiyun City to live at night, but when he thought of those old players in the foundation building period, Lao Tan was still worried that they would go and return, in case they really came back, Lao Tan's current cultivation would not be able to resist at all, so after weighing it again, Lao Tan still decided to stay in the Red Fire Forest.

The cave where the flame marten lived was underneath the leylines, and although the environment in the cave was very hot, for safety, Lao Tan still endured the heat and rested in the cave for a night.

Until the next day, Lao Tan walked out of the cave in good spirits, ready to look for "ingredients", but as soon as he came out of the door of the cave, Lao Tan met a person who was expected to appear.

Lao Tan was slightly stunned at first, and then smiled, "You can't bear to come to me, Zhao Han." ”

The person standing outside the cave was Zhao Han, he was stunned when he saw a bloated fat man walking out of the cave, until he saw the name on Lao Tan's head, he was sure that the fat man in front of him was Lao Tan.

Although I don't know what happened to Lao Tan during this time, there will be such a big change in appearance, anyway, Zhao Han doesn't care about this at all, and when he finds Lao Tan, he just sneered: "You are still in the mood to hide here, don't you know that you have a catastrophe?" ”

Zhao Han's words were so scary, but Lao Tan was still there, and he had already calculated why Zhao Han came, so he said with a grin: "You said that I am in trouble? Well, tell me how I got into trouble? ”
