On the way back, Shi Jiu was still vigilant about the surrounding environment, but the excitement in his heart could not be calmed for a long time, and today he really experienced a good show of a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finch in the back, and became the final big winner, full of harvest. Recalling the battle between the Shadow Leopard and the opponent, Shi Jiu also benefited a lot, any carelessness could be overturned by the opponent, and the strength of the two was obviously stronger than himself, if he was tough head-on, he had no chance of winning. The strength shown by the two also forced Shi Jiu to want to improve his strength as soon as possible.

After returning to the cave, one of the things Shi Jiu did was to cook the ingredients, as the so-called people take food as the sky, and only when they have a full stomach can they have the strength to work. This time, instead of skewering the meat into the fire with branches like before, Shi Jiu planned to roast the meat over charcoal.

Charcoal grilled meat or heating, there are many benefits, and the grilled meat is even more fragrant, and a few days ago, Shi Jiu had already made some charcoal out of wood and set up a simple grill. Shi Jiu placed the cut meat on the grill, and it didn't take long for the aroma of charcoal roasting to come out. After a few flips, the roast meat was almost medium-rare, and Shi Jiu couldn't wait to taste a piece.

"It's still charcoal barbecue, no wonder those barbecue restaurants in the previous life used charcoal to grill, it really makes sense." Biting into the fragrant barbecue, Shi Jiu couldn't help but admire.

It didn't take long for the first wave of barbecue to be eaten, and Shi Jiu followed the second wave of roasting. After eating the third wave, Shi Jiu burped contentedly. After briefly handling the remaining food, Shi Jiu began to check today's harvest.

In addition to money, the main ones are a Xuanfeng palm, a jade box, the shadow leopard's underworld core, and a long knife, which is mainly used for self-defense and hunting.

Shi Jiu first opened a delicate small jade box, the jade box came from his enemy, and saw a spar with the brilliance of a gem lying quietly on the cushion inside the box. Shi Jiu picked up the spar in the box and began to look at it carefully. However, at the moment of entry, Shi Jiu clearly felt the fluctuation of the underworld element in the spar.

"Is this the epimeter?" Shi Jiu said curiously.

The Lushan Canon is not only a book of exercises, but also introduces a variety of strange things that are beneficial to cultivation, such as pills, underworld cores, crystals, heaven and earth treasures, etc., and this crystal is a treasure that is very suitable for cultivators to absorb.

The crystal is produced from the crystal vein mine, and the amount of the underworld contained in it is several times or even tens or hundreds of times that of the external environment, plus it does not have the ferocity of the underworld core, it can be directly absorbed and refined without any side effects, so it is the most popular treasure for cultivators. Jingyuan can not only help people absorb cultivation, but also the top currency, you must know that ordinary money cannot buy heaven and earth treasures, but Jingyuan can, so the more high-quality Jingyuan, cultivators will not use it for cultivation, but as currency to buy other treasures. However, the Crystal Yuan Vein Mine between Heaven and Earth is already scarce, and the mined Crystal Yuan is used up by one less than one, so there are no ordinary cultivators, and only those big sects and forces can see it, but it is generally given to meritorious disciples as a reward.

According to the quality, the crystal can be divided into ordinary crystal, high-grade crystal and the best crystal, after feeling the energy fluctuation in the crystal in his hand, Shi Jiu judged that this is an ordinary crystal.

"Yes, I can get a Epimeter, this time I make a lot of money." Shi Jiu was happy in his heart.

"Since the other party can have a crystal element, presumably his status is not low, and the sect he is in should not be weak, at least stronger than the city lord of Liushan." Shi Jiu secretly guessed in his heart.

Shi Jiu guessed correctly, the person he killed was the junior brother of the Liushan City Lord, and it was the Liushan City Lord and his junior brother who chased the horse bandits together, and even knocked Shi Jiu, who was in danger, off the cliff. And the Dark Heaven Pavilion where he is located is the largest sect within a radius of thousands of miles, and many cities such as Liushan City are the sphere of influence of the Dark Heaven Pavilion.

Although Shi Jiu killed the other party, he was not worried, after all, no one knew that he did it, but a sense of urgency still rose in Shi Jiu's heart.

Looking at the spar in his hand, Shi Jiu did not immediately start absorbing this crystal, but planned to use it at a critical moment.

Then, Shi Jiu took out the Shadow Leopard's Underworld Core, which was about the same size as the previous Turtle Underworld Core, but the texture on it was more complex, natural and beautiful. Just as Shi Jiu was looking at the underworld core in his hand, the black spoon jade hanging on his chest seemed to know Shi Jiu's intentions, and randomly emitted a soft light on the underworld core, and the ferocity emitted by the original underworld core suddenly quickly dissipated. Looking at the black spoon jade that emitted a soft light, Shi Jiu knew that it didn't seem to be harmful to himself, and it had good intentions.

Although he had been wearing this thing for as long as he could remember, Shi Jiu had no idea where it came from. When he was a child, he asked the teacher at the orphanage, but the teacher replied that it was a talisman and that he could only keep him safe if he wore it. Until Shi Jiu had a car accident in his previous life, and then woke up in this underworld inexplicably. Although Shi Jiu guessed that it was this black spoon jade that led him to the underworld, he still had a lot of questions that could not be answered, and perhaps when his strength reached unparalleled one day, these questions might be answered.

Shi Jiu shook his head, no longer thinking about the questions that could not be answered at this stage, but after the ferocity of the Underworld Core was completely dissolved, he began to use his power to absorb the pure Immortal Yuan within it.

As time passed, as he continued to absorb the pure energy in the underworld, Shi Jiu's skill and realm also slowly improved. Suddenly, at a certain moment, there seemed to be a sound of eggshells breaking, Shi Jiu opened his eyes, his eyes at this time were more attentive than before, and the whole person seemed to be refreshed.

Shi Jiu clenched his left fist and struck forward. The surging fist wind instantly cut through the air in front of him, and a piercing wind sound was heard.

"Is this the Spirit Realm?" Feeling the surge of strength in his whole body, Shi Jiu muttered to himself. At this time, the underworld core, which had absorbed the energy, had already broken into slag and fell to the ground.

"The third-level underworld beast's underworld core is really strong, and it can actually help me rush into the spirit realm." Looking at the shattered core, Shi Jiu couldn't help but sigh.

He was in a good mood, and then took out the captured Xuanfeng palm and began to look at it.

Xuanfeng palm, the grade is not high, there are no special requirements for cultivators, the cultivation of the heroic realm can be cultivated, and its biggest advantage is that it can help people in the lower realm to initially feel the artistic conception of the wind. Before, the junior brother of the Liushan City Lord used this palm technique to knock Shi Jiu off the cliff.

Looking at the introduction of Xuan Feng Palm, Shi Jiu was still quite satisfied, although it was not as good as Luoshan Folding Plum Hand, but after all, he had just reached the second realm of cultivation, and now he could completely cultivate, and at the same time, this was what he needed most at the moment due to the lack of attack secret skills.

After reading the Xuanfeng Palm by heart, Shi Jiu began to cultivate according to the notes in the book.

After an hour of repeated practice, after a palm was struck in one exercise, the powerful palm wind shot onto a stone on the stone wall, making a crisp impact sound, and Shi Jiu nodded with satisfaction.

Shi Jiu knew that he had initially mastered the Xuanfeng Palm, and he also had a vague sense of the artistic conception of the wind, and believed that he should be able to fully master this set of palms in the future with diligent practice.

After cultivating, Shi Jiu walked out of the cave.

At this time, it was night, Shi Jiu looked up at the sky, the sky was full of stars, it was very beautiful.

"I didn't expect to see the starry sky, it's so beautiful!" Shi Jiu admired from the bottom of his heart. In the previous life, due to various pollution, the visibility of the atmosphere was low, and only a few stars could be seen at night. Different environments create different scenes, and different people also grow.

"Now that I am in the underworld, God has given me a chance, I have a different goal in life, I want to become a strong man and escape the world!" Shi Jiu's heart became hot.

At this time, the Hengduan Great Forest was still vast and deep, but in Shi Jiu's eyes, there was a different scenery at this moment. The vastness is no longer slim, the depth is still bright, and the light of the soul fills around Shi Jiu, Shi Jiu at this time is still imperceptible, and the fire in Shi Jiu's heart continues to burn.
