Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Yang Ling pointed them out. At this time, Ying Zheng walked up to Yang Ling and noticed the wound on his body, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Your wound has split open. Rebandage it quickly. Excessive blood loss is not good for your body." Yang Ling realized it after Ying Zheng reminded him. He tore off the cloth strips on his body and rebandaged the wound. These demon crystals were enough for them to use temporarily, but they were still short of one.

However, they overlooked one problem. They had killed all the monsters, but the remaining monsters were afraid of them and hid themselves, refusing to come out. What should they do?
"Those monsters have all escaped, how are we going to find the rest?" someone asked worriedly.

"It's easy. We just need to take the initiative. Don't worry, if we can't find it here, we can find it somewhere else." Liu Xiaoxiao shrugged, thinking it was not a big problem. Going forward, they would leave the monster zone. There would be more monsters waiting for them after they got out. The more they got, the more beneficial it would be for the rest of their journey.

Why worry about not being able to find what you need? It's just a matter of time. Yang Ling took a deep breath and decided to make a quick decision without delaying any longer.

"Let's get this resolved quickly and talk about other things later. What do you think?" They all nodded, agreeing with Yang Ling's idea.

After a short rest, they continued on their way. Not long after they went forward, they found a small river winding along the way. Just as Yang Ling felt a sense of crisis, he heard the sound of running water. He looked up and saw a monster running towards him.

Looking at the monster, they looked at each other in bewilderment, as if they had accidentally entered the monster's territory. It was just right to practice with this monster, and it was the last target.

Yang Ling had no time to think, he concentrated all his strength on the sword, flew into the air, and fiercely knocked the monster into the water. The monster shook its head and stood up again.

Ying Zheng followed closely behind, drew out his long sword and swung it at the monster's head, but the monster cleverly avoided it. He only felt a sharp pain in his hand and a slight numbness. This was not the power that an ordinary monster could exert. Yang Ling also rejoined the battle.

When he saw the monster clearly, he was stunned. It turned out to be a giant turtle. No wonder it was so strong. After becoming a monster, its speed became very fast. This is its territory. There is nothing they can do. Who let them meet?

The monster glared at Yang Ling, obviously still remembering the attack. Yang Ling tried to outsmart him and went behind the monster. The monster saw that Yang Ling had disappeared and was curious about where he had gone.

Yang Ling came behind the monster, and seeing that it hadn't noticed yet, he raised his sword, and burst out all his strength, slashing at the monster fiercely. At the critical moment, the monster seemed to have noticed something, and quickly turned around to look at Yang Ling, narrowly avoiding the attack.

It retreated into its shell, and Yang Ling couldn't do anything about it. He was so angry that he led a few people to surround the monster. The monster's defense ability was stronger than the ones they had encountered before. They used all their strength to attack it, but only caused a little damage to it.

Now they could only find the monster's weakness as quickly as possible and then get rid of it. But they circled the monster again and again and didn't find any weakness.

"Why don't we change another monster? This one is too hard to deal with." Someone suggested. But Yang Ling decisively refused. Backing down was not his character. He guessed that the monster's weakness might be at the bottom, so he decided to attack its belly first.

Yang Ling gathered his strength and simply knocked the monster away. Seeing that Yang Ling had been silent for a long time, the monster poked its head out to check the situation, and ended up facing Yang Ling's sword. It hurriedly retracted into its shell, and Zhang Minyu was amused by its behavior.

"It's hilarious how this monster even knows how to retreat into its shell."

"Let's just watch from the side. It looks like Yang Ling should have a way to deal with it, otherwise he wouldn't do this." Yang Ling nodded. Indeed, he now has a way to deal with the monster. He sneered: "This monster still wants to hide, no way!"

His previous move was just a feint, but he didn't expect the monster to be fooled. Now it's not that easy, he struggled to turn the monster's body sideways. Looking at the monster hiding, he thought it was a little funny.

"This monster actually wants to hide, how can it be that easy!" He thought to himself. Yang Ling struck hard, knocking the monster away. The monster's body was severely injured, and its back was facing the ground. It seemed to know what Yang Ling was going to do, and it panicked and began to shake its body to escape.

How could Yang Ling give it this opportunity? A surge of spiritual power suddenly gushed out, instantly knocking the monster away. The swiftness of the action was jaw-dropping. Seeing Yang Ling's swift blow, it instantly penetrated the body of the biting monster, blood gushed out, and a pungent smell of blood filled the air. After a short breath, Yang Ling sighed, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

"The last demon crystal should be easily obtained. You go get the demon crystal first, I need to adjust my condition." His words were full of unquestionable determination, and everyone nodded. Yang Ling's strength was so strong that they had to be convinced. It was no wonder that such a master could achieve such an achievement, it was not easy.

Thinking back, everyone's admiration for Yang Ling was spontaneously generated. His strength was indeed astonishing.

After taking the last piece of demon crystal, everyone was so excited that they couldn't express it in words. They all turned their eyes to Yang Ling. If it weren't for him, how could they have been so successful?

"Great! Finally got it out! What should we do next?" Liu Xiaoxiao shouted excitedly, while Yang Ling coughed lightly and signaled to leave.

"Everyone, take a break first. We can talk about anything after we have rested." He looked around and felt something was a little strange. How could there be only one monster here? Logically, such a powerful monster would have other monsters around its territory.

The silence at this moment made him feel suspicious. Liu Xiaoxiao noticed that Yang Ling was different and walked over quickly.

"What's wrong with you? You look absent-minded. Are you thinking about something?" Yang Ling came back to his senses, turned to look at Liu Xiaoxiao, and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it. It shouldn't be a big problem." Liu Xiaoxiao nodded, hoping so.

However, no one can be sure of the specific situation now.

"We successfully obtained the demon crystal and can leave smoothly. This is always a good thing, isn't it?" Yang Ling responded softly. It was indeed so.

Zhang Minyu at the side counted the demon crystals on his body and found that the number was enough. Who would have thought that they would successfully obtain what they needed in such a short time? It was really hard-won. Yang Ling coughed again and broke the silence.

"Then everyone, pack up and get ready to go. There's no need to stay here any longer." Everyone nodded in agreement, thinking that what he said made sense and it was time to leave. "That's right!" Just as they were about to leave, Yang Ling suddenly pushed Ying Zheng away. His premonition was right, there were other monsters lurking nearby. This monster had been hiding before, waiting for them to show their weakness. Yang Ling clenched his fists and looked around vigilantly.

Ying Zheng also reacted quickly, and several people drew their swords, ready to deal with the monsters that might appear at any time. However, the monsters suddenly disappeared. Where did they go? How could they disappear for no reason?
"It seems to have really disappeared. Should we look for it again?" someone suggested cautiously. Yang Ling quickly pulled himself together and without hesitation, he injected strength into the sword, leaped up, and prepared to search again.

At the moment he made his move, the monster hidden in the bushes suddenly opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced towards Yang Ling.

Yang Ling was suspended in mid-air, about to be swallowed by the monster. At this critical moment, Ying Zheng intervened in time and saved him from danger.

The sword in Ying Zheng's hand flew out and slashed fiercely at the monster's body. The monster's shell was extremely hard, and Ying Zheng only felt numbness in his palm, but the sword still landed steadily on the ground.

The next second, a powerful force rushed towards him, and Ying Zheng was blown away. Yang Ling took the opportunity to display his skills, using the power of the monster to rush forward quickly.

The monster failed to hit Yang Ling, and roared, but did not stop there, and continued to chase in the direction of Yang Ling. Yang Ling frowned, wondering: What kind of monster is this? Why have I never seen it before?

He quickly dispelled his doubts, knowing that it was not advisable to stay here for long. With their strength, it was more than enough to deal with this monster, but they still had to maintain their strength and leave here as soon as possible.

Yang Ling steadied himself and fixed his eyes on the monster. He looked at the monster carefully: it was tall, mostly black, and its fangs glowed coldly white.

For a moment, he couldn't tell what kind of monster it was. When he saw the monster's tail, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised: the tail was unusually long, and the monster was good at camouflage, so it was really hard to detect at first glance.

He had been fighting monsters recently, and his sensitivity had improved a lot, but he didn't sense the existence of this monster just now. Thinking of this, he clenched his fists and became more alert.

He knew that he had to be careful and cautious, and things might not be as simple as they seemed. Yang Ling turned to Ying Zheng and said, "You all step back, I have an idea!"

Everyone looked at each other, then turned their eyes to Yang Ling. Finally, they took a step back to make room for Yang Ling.

Just now, Yang Ling thought of a countermeasure: lead the monster away from this place. It is estimated that this area is the territory of monsters. What if there are other monsters? Lead them out first and deal with them individually, and then defeat them one by one.

Yang Ling no longer hesitated, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the monster. The monster was surprised to see that Yang Ling did not retreat, but stared at him with a fierce look.

Yang Ling waved his sword, but the monster did not move. When Yang Ling got closer and closer to it, the monster suddenly attacked. However, Yang Ling had already mobilized the power in his body to lure the monster to attack. The monster originally wanted to swallow Yang Ling in one gulp, but he did not expect that this power would pass through it directly.

Blood splattered everywhere, and everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe their eyes: Yang Ling was so powerful? They were beaten half to death by the monster just now, but Yang Ling solved it with just one move. How could they feel?
Yang Ling found a place to adjust his breath for a while, and opened his eyes when he was almost in a good state. At this time, the demon crystal was also ready.

He observed the surroundings and then led everyone to the road ahead. "Everyone, get ready, let's set off quickly!" They were already very familiar with the rest of the journey, so they could continue on their way after a little preparation.

Of course, now they not only need demon crystals, but also a panacea. Zhang Minyu said calmly: "Brother Yang, I think we can go find the next thing we need."

After hearing his words, Yang Ling said without hesitation: "If we cross here, we can reach another place. There, maybe we can find what we are looking for." The monster area is too dangerous, they must leave as soon as possible before it gets dark.

Zhang Minyu did not hesitate, his idea coincided with Yang Ling's. Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. They can't give up easily, they must stick to it.

Along the way, they did not encounter too many monsters. Even if they occasionally encountered a few, they were quickly dealt with.

After several days, they came to a mysterious place. It was a cave, and when they tried to enter, they were blocked by a powerful barrier outside.

Yang Ling frowned and stared at the barrier in front of him. "This barrier must be broken, otherwise we can't get in..." He said after thinking for a moment.

For a moment, no one could think of a good solution. Yang Ling stood there thoughtfully, and suddenly an idea came to him.

He walked to the barrier, concentrated his mind, and swung out a powerful force. With a loud noise, the barrier began to shake violently, and finally broke into pieces. Everyone looked at Yang Ling, with a flash of surprise and admiration in their eyes.

Although they knew Yang Ling was strong, they were still shocked to see this scene. They didn't expect Yang Ling to improve so much in such a short time. But this also saved them a lot of trouble.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh secretly when he thought about how Yang Ling had taken away his limelight. But then he thought: So what? Yang Ling would protect them anyway.

At this time, Yang Ling led everyone to slowly walk into the cave. The cave was huge and dark, and it was almost impossible to see anything.

Yang Ling lit a candle to illuminate the front, and saw that the walls were covered with various murals. Zhang Minyu was puzzled: Why did they come here?

He couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure what we are looking for is here? We have got the demon crystal, but we are still missing the Ganoderma lucidum. It shouldn't be here!" He looked at Yang Ling doubtfully.

Yang Ling explained calmly: "I have seen records in ancient books before. Generally, rare treasures often appear in the areas where monsters live. (End of this chapter)
