Yuan Ming followed Hagong all the way through the forest and the stream, walked for more than half an hour, and finally came to a hidden valley.

As soon as he arrived at the mouth of the valley, Yuan Ming wrinkled his nose and stopped.

"What's that weird smell?" He asked, covering his nose.

He smelled a smell like sulfur, but it was more complicated.

"The taste of animal repellent powder can drive away some poisonous insects and fierce beasts, so that they do not come near here." Hagon explained, pointing to the red and white powder on the ground not far ahead.

"Can I get this thing in there?" Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, yes, but it's useless to have this thing, it's good to be able to drive away some poisonous insects and beasts, and it's easy to expose your hiding place. Sometimes, people are more dangerous than beasts. Hagon said.

The entrance to the valley is quite narrow, like a natural pass, but when you enter it, it suddenly opens up and becomes quite wide, as if from the mouth of a toad to the stomach.

As soon as the two entered the valley, they had not walked a few steps before several rough stone houses made of stone appeared in front of them.

The stone house had no door, only an empty doorway was open, and a human figure could be faintly seen inside.

Around these stone houses, there were also some people who were also dressed in animal skins, and there were not many of them, all of them with numb expressions and no emotions on their faces.

As soon as Yuan Ming wanted to go up and take a look, he was stopped by Hagong.

"Be careful when you talk for a while, don't mess with those named disciples, most of them don't have a good temper." Hagon reminded.

Hearing this, Yuan Ming nodded silently.

He walked to the first stone house, and when he looked inside, he saw that it was very shabbyly furnished, with only a wooden table and a chaise longue.

A young man in a turquoise cloth robe was lying on a chaise longue, wandering gracefully, holding a paper cyan scroll in his hand, covering half of his face, looking extremely comfortable.

On the table in front of him was a wooden sign with white paper pasted on it, which read, "Purchase full-term spirit grass, all kinds of ores".

There is only a simple sentence, the name and specific years of the acquisition, and nothing is written.

In the stone house adjacent to him, there was also a table with a wooden sign on it, on which was pasted the same white paper, which read, "Purchase Spirit Grass, Ore, Animal Bone, Blood Food".

The difference is that this room is empty and there is no one in it.

The other two stone houses are in a similar situation, each with its own display, but both look a little crude.

In a stone house at the back, Yuan Ming happened to see two furry beast slaves trading with the registered disciples inside.

The disciple looked impatient, picking and choosing between two pieces of dark red ore brought by the furry beast slave and a sallow herb that looked like ginseng.

Eventually, a white porcelain vial was used to send the furry beast slave.

The furry beast slave thanked him for his kindness and left with the vial and a happy face.

"Two pieces of fire pattern iron ore, and one piece of red yellow essence, just exchanged for a bottle of blood tonic pill, these guys are really getting darker and darker." Hagong, who was following Yuan Ming's side, couldn't help but mutter.

His voice was so soft that almost no one could hear him but himself.

Yuan Ming listened to it really.

It was only here that he didn't ask more, but waited until he had walked away with Hagon before he asked:

"Why, that hairy beast slave suffered a loss in that deal just now?"

"It's common to suffer losses, but this time the price is too hard. Just two pieces of fire pattern iron ore are enough to exchange for a bottle of blood tonic pill, that red yellow essence, that thickness level, no matter how you look at it, it will be at least fifty years, just like giving it to him in vain. Hagon was surprised at first, and then indignant.

Yuan Ming didn't know the way to do this, so he consulted Hagong more, and learned from him the names and characteristics of some elixirs and ores that those named disciples collected all year round.

"I'm quite surprised that Biluo Cave would allow this trading place to exist." Yuan Ming was amazed.

"After staying for a long time, you will know that the management of these registered disciples in Biluo Cave is very loose, and as long as they complete the tasks of the sect, the sect will not care about other things." Hagon tugged at the corners of his mouth and said.

Yuan Ming felt that these were still too far from what he was doing now, and he didn't care too much about it.

After walking around the valley, Yuan Ming said goodbye to Hagon and left on his own.

Hagon simply said goodbye, and the two parted ways, without mentioning whether they would see each other again in the future.

……

Time flies, more than three months have passed.

It was noon, but the sky was overcast, and the low-hanging canopy pressed against the ancient trees of the forest, which seemed a little oppressive.

In the dense mountain forest, a sturdy white ape is stretching its long arms and swinging between the towering ancient trees, each swinging is ten zhang away, and the speed is very fast.

Naturally, this is not a wild ape in the mountains, forests, but Yuan Ming's use of the technique of draping.

At this moment, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and there were still a few shocking blood marks on his body, but his eyes were very bright, and he had been looking around vigilantly, and from time to time he turned back to look behind him.

Less than thirty zhang away from him, the earth shook, the trees shattered, and the road was full of smoke and dust.

A black-haired wild boar with a body length of one foot and a height of six feet was roaring from its mouth, spitting hot breath from its nose, and chased after Yuan Ming like crazy.

On the side of its mouth, there is a pair of white fangs like a halberd, which shine with a white light, and it is extremely sharp, and it will pass through every time it encounters a tree.

At the same time, an invisible curtain of light loomed between the two tusks, like a triangular shield of light, covering its head, arching it apart when it slammed into the tree pierced by the tusks.

One eye of this wild boar beast was injured by Yuan Ming, and it had become a blur of flesh and blood, and the other eye was also red, and there was a strong hatred and murderous intent in it, and it had to be hunted down to kill Yuan Ming.

Although its speed is not slow, and its strength is also very terrifying, after all, there are countless ancient trees blocking it, and it is frequently blocked under continuous collisions, so it is naturally difficult to catch up with Yuan Ming.

Yuan Ming also seemed to be able to grasp this, and did not rush to escape, but deliberately suppressed the speed, always maintaining a distance that could let the wild boar see him.

Once he finds that the wild boar is slacking off, he will take the initiative to stop and provoke one or two, luring the wild boar beast to keep chasing and killing him.

Of course, Yuan Ming is not idle and has no intention of pastime, but wants to use this method to kill the wild boar's anger, and also consume its stamina, only when its strength is weakened, can it be sure to kill it with one blow.

In this way, an ape and a pig chased in the mountains and forests for more than half an hour.

Yuan Ming listened carefully with both ears, and found that the breath exhaled from the wild boar's nose had begun to thicken, the sound of galloping footsteps had begun to be chaotic, and the speed of hitting the ancient tree had decreased, so he knew that the time had come.

He hung on an ancient tree with one arm, and he was also so tired that he was constantly panting, and he looked like he couldn't escape.

Seeing this scene, the wild boar, which was already a little unable to run, suddenly came to his senses, howled in his mouth, and struggled to collide with Yuan Ming again.

Yuan Ming deliberately slowed down this time, and waited until the wild boar chased after him at a distance of almost four feet in front of him, and then he swung his arm again, twisted the direction sharply, and leaped towards the center of the two ancient trees on the other side.

While the wild boar chased after him, the center of gravity of his body suddenly shifted, and it turned out to be a sharp turn, and he also rushed in the direction of Yuan Ming.

It saw the two old trees standing side by side, and as soon as it was in shape, it was about to pass between the two trees.

The distance between the two trees looked as if it had been made for it, no more, no less, just enough for a boar's body to pass through.

However, in fact, these two trees were really selected by Yuan Ming for it a long time ago.

At the same time as the wild boar jumped up, Yuan Ming's figure had already twisted and stopped.

He picked up a white bone short spear that had been placed here in advance from the ground, and the nine-element technique in his body was running wildly, and the dantian mana turned into a warm current and surged upward, all the way down the meridians to his right arm.

His right arm immediately protruded, his hair rose up, his muscles bulged, and he doubled at a rate visible to the naked eye, becoming a circle larger than before.

This is the second small magical power derived from the white ape skin that he used to use the coat technique after he cultivated the Nine Yuan Jue and entered the second layer of Qi refining, which he named himself as the "Yuan Accumulation Arm".

Once this supernatural power is activated, the form of his right arm will change, and the power that can burst out can also be increased by three times in an instant.

However, such bursts of power are instantaneous and cannot be sustained for long.

In view of this characteristic, Yuan Ming developed a method of charging and throwing and attacking from a distance.

I saw that his palm was clenched in the short gun, his arm tensed instantly, and his strength continued to condense and accumulate, and as his arm turned, a loud cry came out of his mouth at the same time.

"Go"

At the same time as the sound sounded, the white bone short spear in his hand was also thrown, making a sound that broke through the air.

The body of the wild boar beast had just reached the center of the two old trees, and it was sandwiched left and right, and it couldn't dodge at all, so it could only rely on the light shield covered on its head to hard-catch Yuan Ming's charged blow.

It was like a duel of spears and shields, but the moment they touched each other, the battle ended.

The white bone spear pierced the invisible light curtain with a "poof", plunged headlong into the boar beast's head, and then passed through its entire body, shooting out of its hips.

The boar's body flying in mid-air fell and fell impartially, stuck between two old trees.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming's face was overjoyed, on the one hand, he was happy that he had successfully killed this fierce beast, and on the other hand, he was also satisfied with the strength of his Yuan Accumulation Arm.

He walked up quickly, took the blood bag from his waist, and began to collect the blood of the wild boar beast with his hands and feet.

After the collection was completed, Yuan Ming immediately went to pick up the white bone spear, and used the tip of the spear to cut the corners of the wild boar's mouth on both sides, until the roots of the two long teeth were all exposed.

This pair of tusks was also his goal, because it contained a little spiritual power, which was one of the fierce beast spirit materials that the disciples of Biluo Cave needed.
