Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

The nostrils of the Panshan deer are wide open, and the heavy breathing they exhale is especially noticeable on the cold mountain.

Instead of approaching, it carefully observed the human in front of it.

Although it is not a particularly powerful demon, it possesses more spirituality than ordinary creatures, thus enabling it to recognize some simple situations.

It felt that the human in front of it was different from any of the humans it had encountered before.

In the past, the humans I encountered either ran away when they saw me or were killed after fighting me; in short, it was relatively easy.

But the human I met today is completely different. If I was angry at first because of the other party's provocation, now that anger has gradually turned into suspicion.

It felt as if it was being treated like a toy.

A vague sense of unease crept into my heart.

Lin Sheng twisted his neck, his body radiating heat, and the white smoke emanating from his body was more noticeable than that from the Panshan deer.

He stomped his feet, feeling lighter, but in reality, he had gained a deeper understanding of the Dragon-Walking-Tiger-Step technique.

"It's been about half an hour, and the effect is quite good."

As he bent down to pick up the stone again, seeing the deer stop again, he saw it turn around and run away without hesitation.

Lin Sheng was stunned; this was something he hadn't expected.

The deer turned and ran, deciding to abandon its conflict with the human before the unease in its heart grew stronger.

However, then they heard an approaching sound, like a whistling wind or a piercing arrow.

It quickened its pace and burrowed deeper into the jungle.

Anxiety and fear filled my chest.

Bang!

It saw the bark of the tree in front of it suddenly split open, the mark looking as if it had been stomped on.

Then a blinding light appeared before my eyes, and then my vision disappeared.

thump.

The deer's head fell to the ground, spraying blood several meters across the surface. Its charging body also slammed heavily onto the ground after traveling a short distance.

Lin Sheng appeared, wiped his knife with the fur of a Panshan deer, quickly put the corpse into his storage bag, and then swiftly left the place.

He knew that even in the depths of winter, and even though Wuzhi Mountain had been pacified, he could not be careless.

"It's time to leave and go to the next place."

Just as I got up, I heard a familiar sound coming from the Cave Mystic Furnace.

[Obtain the complete Panshan Deer Qi Mechanism, which can be refined into Rare Essence/Mysterious Essence]

[Refine or not?]

Without hesitation, Lin Sheng decisively chose to refine it into a precious essence.

What he needs most right now is precious essence to improve and restore his body, not some mystical substance.

Besides, he didn't really care about the mysteries of the Panshan deer.

Through these several refinements, he also figured out the origin of the mystery: it was the extraordinary nature of the demons themselves, which was refined by the Cave Mystery Furnace, thus making it possible for him to bear.

The previous Erosion and Obstacle Removal techniques were the same, so he had no intention of wasting the Dongxuan Furnace's refining time on a single Panshan Deer.

But when Lin Sheng arrived at the next location, he was surprised to receive feedback from the Cave Mystic Furnace.

They've actually finished refining the Qi of the Panshan Deer.

"So fast?"

"Doesn't it usually take several days?"

He didn't realize it was real until the precious gem slowly floated out of the furnace.

The surrounding area is filled with strangely shaped rocks and stone peaks, interspersed with several tall trees, creating a very peculiar environment.

Lin Sheng picked a rock to sit on and quietly absorbed the energy.

The body's Qi and blood have recovered somewhat, and even the previously damaged foundation has been somewhat replenished.

But more than the physical changes, Lin Sheng was concerned about why the Cave Mystic Furnace had refined the items ahead of schedule, as this was crucial to him.

"It took several days to refine before, and the three-eyed bear even caused some trouble. Now, refining the Panshan deer was completed extremely quickly. Why is that?"

As he pondered, Lin Sheng noticed something he had already realized before: strength.

"The Three-Eyed Bear possesses the strength of the Pure Blood Realm, which significantly affected my energy when I refined it."

Now, the Panshan Deer doesn't even have a first realm, and my recent fight with it was just for training purposes.

Its strength far surpasses its own.

He came to the conclusion: "Could it be that the refining effect of the Cave Mystery Furnace is based on my strength?"

Refining anything beyond my strength is difficult, and the greater the difference in strength, the greater the impact on me.

"Things under my strength are refined faster, and the impact is much smaller."

Lin Sheng felt this conclusion was very likely, as he had obtained all the demonic energy he knew so far, and it all followed this pattern.

Especially during the cultivation period, his strength was limited, and it took him quite a while to process all his energy.

Now that he is close to the Pure Blood Realm, dealing with these simple demons is no longer a difficult task.

"So, once I truly reach a higher level, or when my strength increases further, won't I be able to easily refine those lower-level demons?"

This discovery surprised him, because if it were true, then as long as he was strong enough, he would be the fastest "demon refining device".

But then he stroked his chin: "I can't be greedy. My strength has increased, but the precious essence refined from the energy of those low-level demons has become less effective for me."

Sensing the effects of the Panshan Deer Essence, Lin Sheng spoke slowly.

After figuring it out, he stood up, dusted himself off, and looked into the distance.

Now that he has figured out some of the rules of the Cavern Furnace, the next step is to make better use of it.

Lin Sheng drew his sword and directly severed a thick branch from a large tree.

A branch fell to the ground with a heavy thud.

Immediately afterwards, a roar came from the big tree, and its canopy shook violently.

A figure appeared, leaped from the tree, landed on the ground with a thud, and looked at Lin Sheng.

"Luckily, we're out now."

"This is the Wood Ape. This is the first time I've ever seen one. Even the camp has no information about it."

A black-haired giant ape raised its fist, even taller and stronger than the Panshan deer from before. Two sharp teeth protruded from its mouth and pointed towards the sky, while its eyes, as big as a clay pot, stared intently at Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng sniffed and complained, "I've never seen this kind of place before, probably because it stinks too much."

Qiu Muyuan emitted a strange smell, like a rotten egg that had been boiled.

Lin Sheng waved his hand in front of his nose, trying to reduce the smell.

But this action enraged the wood ape, which roared at Lin Sheng and slammed its fist down at him!

boom!

When the smoke cleared, the spot where Lin Sheng had just been was now a pile of rubble.

Lin Sheng sat on a rock and looked at Qiu Muyuan provocatively. Just now, he had a rough idea of ​​the other party's strength.

"It's stronger than that Panshan deer from before, and its strength is commendable, but it's not even at the first realm, so it's easy to deal with."

Perhaps it was because he had always fought battles against opponents of higher levels that Lin Sheng developed a good mindset towards battles against opponents of the same level.

Just like he had dealt with the Panshan deer before, Lin Sheng threw the stone he had prepared in his hand and hit Qiu Muyuan on the nose.

The force wasn't heavy, so it wouldn't hurt the wood ape, but it was a devastating blow to its psyche.

How could it tolerate being provoked like this by a small insect that it could easily kill in the past?

"Roar roar roar roar!!"

Two giant fists swung down toward Lin Sheng's location, hammering repeatedly and smashing the nearby rocks into fragments and powder.

When he was exhausted, Qiu Muyuan was panting heavily.

But then its pupils contracted, and it saw that the human from before was standing there completely unharmed.

With its limited spirituality, it didn't understand what was happening. The humans it usually encountered were easily turned into a pile of minced meat that could be digested.

Moreover, the attack is still so frantic.

Lin Sheng dusted himself off, quite satisfied with his training in the Dragon-Walking-Tiger-Step technique.

He was almost hit several times, but he dodged them all with his Shadow Slash. It takes this kind of intensity to effectively hone his skills.

He looked at the wood monkey as if it were a toy or food.

"I'll accept your energy in a moment. With such a large physique, Zhenyuan must be very beneficial to your physical body."

Qiu Muyuan roared and leaped into the air, crashing down heavily.
