Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

Lin Sheng put the knife in his hand beside him, then found a seat and sat down in front of the steaming mutton soup noodle stall.

The mutton soup pot was steaming hot, making the surrounding area feel cozy.

The aroma, carrying a hint of oil, tantalizes the senses in your stomach.

"Hey buddy, a bowl of noodle soup, and two pancakes too."

"Alright, sir, please wait a moment."

Lin Sheng looked at the few people slurping noodles nearby; they all looked like they were going up the mountain. He guessed they were probably hunters or some other profession.

The noodle shop is small, located right next to the entrance of Wuzhishan Road, and can also be considered a tea shop.

The waiter worked quickly, and a bowl of soup noodles with oil glistening on it was served, along with two flatbreads.

"Sir, here's your soup noodles and flatbread."

"Okay, here you go."

He took out the silver and handed it to the waiter in front of him.

The waiter wiped his hands on his clothes and took the money. Just as he was about to thank him, he realized something was wrong and reminded him, "Sir, you've given too much money. It's not worth that much."

"It's worth it. I just happened to have something to ask you about."

The waiter became interested, looked around at the few customers and the deserted road, and after confirming that no one would come anytime soon, he accepted the money.

Xiang Linsheng smiled and said, "Sir, feel free to ask me any questions. I will not hide anything from you that I know the answer to."

"It's nothing serious."

"Tell me about the recent situation on Wuzhi Mountain, what has happened, and whether there is any danger or abnormality."

Tell me everything in detail, without leaving anything out.

Although Lin Sheng was also a mountain hiker and had a map, he dared not be careless after his more dangerous experience on the mountain.

Besides, I haven't been to Wuzhi Mountain for a while now, and who knows what might have happened, so I need to find out some things.

"Sir, I can assure you with my own hands that after the commotion a while ago, things have been quite peaceful on this mountain lately."

"A while ago there was fog and roaring, and many people who live near the mountains didn't dare to go up. It's been almost half a month since it calmed down, and seeing that there's no more noise, people have gradually started to come back."

He chuckled, "Only then can my business be revived."

"Have there been many people visiting Wuzhi Mountain recently?"

The man thought for a moment and said, "It's alright, not too much, after all, everyone is still a little worried."

"Hey sir, don't disbelieve me. My shop sells rice noodles in the morning and tea at other times. I know exactly how many people flock up the mountain."

Lin Sheng smiled, chatted with the waiter for a few more minutes, then ended the conversation and quietly ate his food.

He roughly figured out the situation on Wuzhi Mountain; it was relatively peaceful recently, and there was still some profit to be made.

Lin Sheng was more inclined to believe what the man said, since the other party had no reason to lie to him.

"Since things are still relatively peaceful, let's give it a try."

After finishing his meal, Lin Sheng picked up his knife and walked down a path he knew all too well.

His goal today was simple: to go and check the locations marked on the map in person and, depending on the situation, to have a proper training session.

These locations are all marked on the map as places where you can get good results but there are risks.

The risk refers to the presence of demons or monsters in those places.

Besides his day off, he also took an extra day off, so two days was enough.

The mornings at Wuzhi Mountain were still a bit foggy, but it no longer posed a problem for Lin Sheng.

He opened the map, looked around, found a direction, and walked straight ahead.

Just as the noodle shop waiter had said, nothing happened along the way except for the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves; even bird calls were rare.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Sheng heard the sound of rushing water and knew he had found the right place.

He parted the haystack and walked forward.

What comes into view is a waterfall and a long lake, which glistens in the morning sunlight, and occasionally you can see a few fish leaping out of the water. It can be described as a blessed place.

But Lin Sheng didn't come here to see the scenery; he knew exactly where he was.

Fishing or harvesting here can easily feed a family, but the reason why few people come here and it is marked extra on the map is because it is a drinking water source for some people.

He crouched down quietly, staring at the elk drinking water around the pond.

The elk is about three or four meters tall, with strong limbs and a large body. It is leisurely drinking water with its head down.

This is a demon from Wuzhi Mountain, a Panshan deer. Its strength is limited, belonging to the category of those who are not even at the first realm.

It has always been known for its speed. Although as a demon, it is not as powerful as the mountain-toothed wild boar, which is a spirit, the troublesome thing about the Panshan deer is its difficulty to deal with.

Once it sets its sights on you, it's a fight to the death.

"The best way to master the dragon-like stride and tiger-like gait is through practice."

"This plate of deer is just to my liking!"

Putting his thoughts aside, Lin Sheng walked straight out of the bushes.

The noise attracted a Panshan deer that was drinking water. It looked over with a wary expression.

Lin Sheng picked up a stone from the ground, and the Panshan deer stamped its feet on the ground upon seeing this.

The next moment, Lin Sheng swiftly threw the stone at it. The deer tried to dodge, but the flying stone still hit its rump.

Instantly, the mountain deer began to pant heavily, let out a roar, and pawed at the ground repeatedly with its hooves.

"Ah, it works."

Lin Sheng stood up straight, facing the Panshan Deer, and beckoned backward with his index finger: "Come here!"

The provocation worked; the Panshan deer charged directly at Lin Sheng, its footsteps shaking the ground and kicking up clouds of dust with tremendous force.

Seeing the opponent charging straight at him, Lin Sheng moved his body and, just as the opponent was about to collide with him, changed his footwork, his figure moving as smoothly as a swimming dragon to dodge.

The deer missed its first attack, stopped, turned around, snorted, and charged again.

"That was the Dragon Step, this time let's try the Tiger Step."

As the biting wind rushed towards him, Lin Sheng activated his muscles, unleashing his power to leap to the side with incredible agility.

Seeing that it had missed again, the Panshan deer stopped and looked at Lin Sheng with some seriousness.

Lin Sheng felt the surge of muscle and power in his body and couldn't help but nod: "Not bad, it's definitely much better than when I practiced according to the technique before."

"If this continues, it won't be long before I master this footwork, and then I might even be able to combine it with the Bee Shadow."

"Um?"

He noticed that the Panshan deer didn't come over anymore, but was looking at him, seemingly a little wary.

"Isn't this deer supposed to be very stubborn? How come it's giving up so easily?"

Picking up a pebble, he hit the deer again, this time with more force, which enraged the mountain deer.

With a loud roar, he stomped his feet on the ground, making his already prominent limb muscles even more defined.

Bang!

It rushed over at a much faster speed than before!

"Good timing!"

Lin Sheng used Dragon Walk and Tiger Step in succession, his feet moving like the wind, his figure constantly changing as he retreated, finally narrowly avoiding the deer.

Before he could even land properly, he saw the other party approaching with a rumbling sound.

He now truly felt the taste of cultivation; his blood and energy were flowing freely, and his muscles were brimming with power.

My whole body felt like it was getting warmed up and exercising.

"Very good, that's it. Make sure you're proficient in both the Dragon Walk and Tiger Step."

"Only by mastering both techniques can I truly master this footwork!"

He dodged again and landed on a large rock. Lin Sheng's posture was like a tiger descending a mountain. He stared at the Panshan deer, his eyes flashing with sharp light.

Seeing Lin Sheng's condition, the Panshan deer sensed a threat and stomped its feet twice, but ultimately charged forward again.

He accelerated toward Lin Sheng's position and then leaped high into the air.
