Chen Ning returned to the fierce battle site to remove the space on those jackal mercenary groups one by one, and then counted all the things in his belt on the ground next to him in a slightly hurry.

In the end, Chen Ning obtained hundreds of Xuanshi, dozens of gold coins, and some essential things for survival in the wild in these ten days, and he didn't have much gain.

And among them, there are more than a dozen second-order demon cores and a third-order demon core, just from the number of them, it can be seen that these must be jackal mercenary groups searching for their own hunting demon beasts in the mountain range.

It's a pity that because of the greed in their hearts, not only was their hard-earned income all the way in Chen Ning's pocket, but even their lives were lost in the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

"I really hope that mercenary can send my news, so that many mercenaries will be moved. Chen Ning muttered to himself.

Then a smile of expectation appeared on his face, and he said, "I hope that the number of Xuanshi in their hands will not be small, so that I will be able to obtain a large number of cultivation resources, as the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, since you can't help but tempt me to kill me, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Speaking of the back, a killing intent flashed from Chen Ning's eyes.

"In the past two days, I have continued to work hard to improve my strength, otherwise once I encounter a team that is too strong, although it will not be killed, it is also quite difficult to deal with them, and I also have to guard against the temptation of some great Xuanshi who can't stand the temptation of huge rewards, with my current strength, there is no problem in dealing with high-level people of Xuanshi, but once I meet a master of the great Xuanshi level, it will be very tricky, and I will run for my life again. ”

After thinking about it in his heart, Chen Ning made up his mind, he didn't continue to hunt demon beasts, but came to a mountain wall, gently brushed away a dense weed, revealing dark holes.

This cave was accidentally discovered by Chen Ning hunting a demon beast a few days ago, Chen Ning took out some wooden materials from the space ring, simply made a torch and lit it with Xuan Qi, and walked towards the cave.

The passage of this cave is very narrow, only one person can pass through, and the ground is also uneven, and under the light of torches, it can be seen that the cave was dug by hand, not natural.

After walking along the trails of some rock areas for a distance of about 30 meters, Chen Ning finally came to the end of the cave, at the end of the cave is a space more than ten meters large, the ground is different from the passage, very flat, and there is this one-meter-high stone table and stone bench on one side.

When he discovered this cave two days ago, Chen Ning knew in his heart that this cave should have been occupied by someone before, and it seemed that the stay time was not short, but judging from the stone table and the dust on the ground, it was obvious that no one had visited this cave for a long time.

Chen Ning used his divine sense to check the surrounding environment, and after making sure that it was safe, he stuck the torch on the wall of the cave, then sat cross-legged on his knees, took out a few second-order demon cores and began to cultivate.

Cultivating in this cave with hidden terrain, Chen Ning could devote himself wholeheartedly to it, and he didn't have to worry about the attack of demon beasts outside.

Chen Ning now has a part of the demon core in the spatial ring, plus the people who attacked and killed the Pan family before and the Xuanshi that he just scavenged from the members of the Jackal Mercenary Group, the demon core and Xuanshi that Chen Ning has now are enough to support his cultivation for more than a month, so at present, Chen Ning doesn't have to worry about the lack of cultivation resources at all.

The energy in the demon core was continuously sucked into Chen Ning's body at a very terrifying speed, and the intense energy gathered around Chen Ning's body, and it had gradually formed a faint light, enveloping his body in it.

Due to the Qingmang and Purple Frost Sword in his body, Chen Ning's energy to absorb the demon core has always been dozens of times the normal speed, but most of this energy has been snatched away by the Qingmang and Purple Frost Sword in his body, and what Chen Ning can absorb is only a small part.

Despite this, Chen Ning's cultivation speed was also several times faster than others.

In Chen Ning's dantian, under the impact of the rich Xuan Qi, the green mang gradually formed a vague shape of a "sword" suspended there, this sword was very similar to the purple frost sword in Chen Ning's body, but it was very vague, and even the hilt of the sword could only vaguely see a rough shape.

As the energy in the demon core was continuously absorbed by Chen Ning, the "sword" in his dantian that was completely formed by Xuan Qi was also condensing at a very slow speed, and the energy contained in it was also rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Moreover, the Xuan Qi in his body has become more and more refined, at this rate, Chen Ning estimates that if he wants to reach the Great Perfection of the Xuan Master, it is estimated that it will take at least a month.

"No, that's too slow. ”

Chen Ning's brows furrowed slightly, the energy snatched by the green mangs and purple small swords in his dantian was too much.

"Let's see if we can snatch them up. ”

Suddenly, Chen Ning's mind moved, and he immediately tried his best to concentrate and calm down, and began to forcibly seize the energy that was absorbed by the cyan light in the dantian and the purple sword in his body.

However, the speed at which Qingmang and Purple Little Sword absorbed energy was very fast, so fast that even if Chen Ning did it with all his strength, he could only snatch a little bit of Dao energy, but despite this, Chen Ning also felt extremely satisfied, because this little bit of energy was enough to increase his cultivation speed by one-tenth or two.

If he had maintained such a speed, Chen Ning believed that his speed of breaking through the high level of the Xuan Master would be greatly advanced.

In the cave, Chen Ning completely sank into a state of cultivation, but in the Peach Willow City outside the Demon Beast Mountain Range, it once again became extremely lively because of one thing.

A piece of news came out of the mouth of a mercenary, although this news did not know whether it was true or not, and there was no way to verify it, but it made many mercenary groups and some forces who claimed to be not weak moved.

The person who was offered a high reward of 5,000 Xuan Shi by the Pan family was actually still in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and he was still alone, and the mercenary also said that this person was seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced.

The mercenary said that his mercenary group collided with Chen Ning inside, and after a fierce battle, his regiment commander and brothers were killed and injured countless times, but Chen Ning was also seriously injured because of this, if he was not seriously injured, he would definitely kill Chen Ning and come back to receive the reward.

The true situation of this news cannot be verified, but it has made many mercenary groups set off from the Demon Beast Mountain Range one after another, all with the idea that they would rather believe it than believe it, after all, five thousand Xuanshi can be a very large number, and the target is still a young man who is only in his twenties, and his strength is comparable to the middle level of the Xuanshi.

In the eyes of many mercenary groups and forces, this is a very simple task, the only trouble is that the terrain of the Demon Beast Mountain Range makes it difficult for them to find Chen Ning, and now that the target has been seriously damaged, this information suddenly made the mercenary groups and forces that were originally afraid of Chen Ning's strong combat power ready to move.

In just a few days, Chen Ning was still in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and the news that he had been severely injured was like the wind blowing all over every corner of Peach Willow City, so some local mercenary groups and forces began to advance towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and even some foreign forces and mercenary groups gathered in Peach Willow City also rushed to Peach Willow City, making more and more mercenaries and forces gathered in Peach Willow City all of a sudden.

Seeing that things have developed to such a point, some lone rangers who are quite confident in their own strength also followed into the Demon Beast Mountain Range with the mentality of trying their luck and watching the excitement, and there are still some people who want to fish in troubled waters.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed quietly, and at this time, in a cave in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, Chen Ning was still sitting cross-legged on the ground absorbing the energy in the demon core to cultivate, the torch inserted in the cave wall had long been extinguished, and the entire cave was pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers.

In the past few days, Chen Ning seemed to have completely sunk into the pleasure of cultivation, and as the Xuan Qi in his body continued to increase, Chen Ning could clearly feel that his strength was also growing rapidly.

In the past few days, Chen Ning has been sitting cross-legged on the ground, rarely moving, except for taking out the demon core from the space ring and moving his body and limbs, the rest of the time is spent in cultivation.

He hadn't eaten or drunk for seven days, and he couldn't feel half of his hunger and thirst at all when he sank into a state of cultivation, in the past few days, one-third of the demon core in Chen Ning's space ring had been used, and around his body, the demon core powder on the ground had formed a thin layer of dust, and even a lot of it was sprinkled on his legs sitting cross-legged.

After a few days of this situation, the pitch-black cave was suddenly shrouded in a dazzling purple light, and a powerful energy fluctuation emanated from around Chen Ning's body, at this moment, the speed at which he absorbed the energy in the demon core actually accelerated a few points again, and as the energy in the demon core flowed into his body like a wild horse that had escaped from the horse, the rich energy had formed a purple mist visible to the naked eye around Chen Ning, illuminating the dark cave as if it were day.

At the same time, all the pores of Chen Ning's whole body suddenly opened at this moment, and they suddenly seemed to have become a child who had been hungry and thirsty for a long time, opening his big mouth, and greedily absorbing the rich energy that had formed a light purple energy around him with hungry movements.

The pores of the whole body were so crazy to absorb energy, which also brought a slight feeling of swelling and pain to Chen Ning's body, as if there were countless thorns piercing into the pores all over the body.

Chen Ning sat on the ground with a calm face, as if he was like an old monk in a state of meditation, and he didn't notice the swelling pain coming from all over his body, and in his body, the rich and pure energy turned into ripples of energy that converged towards his dantian, and finally the fuzzy sword fetus suspended in the dantian was absorbed.

After absorbing this huge amount of energy, the sword fetus was not only slowly changing in color, but even the small purple sword suspended in Chen Ning's body outside the dantian was trembling slightly, emitting purple qi, as if it was extremely happy, helping the sword fetus in the dantian to accelerate condensation.

And Chen Ning was already at a critical moment when he was about to break through the Great Perfection of the Xuan Master, and after such a scene lasted for two hours, the demon core energy in Chen Ning's hand was consumed again, without the slightest pause, Chen Ning immediately took out several second-order demon cores from the space ring again, held them in his hand and quickly absorbed the energy in the demon core into his body.

Time passed quietly in silence, and soon, half a day passed, in the dark cave, Chen Ning still maintained his original posture in cultivation, around his body, the layer of light purple mist completely formed by rich energy has become thicker and thicker, and the faint light emitted by it seems a little brighter.

At this moment, an invisible momentum suddenly emanated from Chen Ning's body, filling the entire cave, and the momentum gradually increased as the purple mist around his body continued to inhale into his body, and finally gradually evolved into a violent wind, the wind roared in the narrow cave, rolling up the thick layer of dust on the ground and blowing wildly in the cave.

The layer of light purple mist condensed by energy around Chen Ning's body was being sucked into his body by Chen Ning at a speed like a long whale absorbing water, and in the blink of an eye, it was absorbed by Chen Ning.

At the moment when Chen Ning broke through the high level of the Xuan Master, the sword fetus in his dantian and the purple sword in his body magically did not snatch energy from Chen Ning.

After a stick of incense, Chen Ning, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, and at the moment when his eyes opened, a faint divine light shot out of his eyes, and disappeared in a flash, although the divine light was faint, but in this dark cave, it was so obvious.
