Cultivation begins with harvest.

"It seems we all want to choose a main battlefield that we like, and he's moving faster."

The purple mist enveloping Chen Guang and Wan Longjing thinned slightly, and Chen Guang could barely suppress the smirk that was now wide open. However, he still cautiously scanned Dongfang Hunshan's corpse again and again with his clear spiritual eyes, looked around the surrounding environment again and again, and then used a few ordinary spells on Dongfang Hunshan. Only after seeing the other party's shattered body did he finally lower his guard.

"After all, judging from our route of action, he thought we were trying to escape. Our deep-seated hatred made him anxious."

"Is that so?" Zhao Qiuxian's blank mind began to turn again. He looked at Dongfang Hunshan, then exchanged glances with his clansmen, blinking.

Is this the fourth level of Qi Refining?

Even if we both reach the fifteenth level of Qi Refining combined, we're not as fierce as him.

In fact, Zhao Qiuxian and his companion were quite confident when they played it safe, but they became somewhat uneasy after the Golden Flame Flying Serpent Curse appeared. By the time they finally killed Dongfang Hunshan, they had completely lost their competitive spirit.

The gap between Qi Refining realms can be large or small. While there hasn't been a complete qualitative change in magical power, the quantitative gap isn't insurmountable. This outcome is something they both accept and reject.

"Let's see if his storage artifacts are still there." Chen Guang called everyone forward, glanced at them, and quickly took down a brocade pouch and a gourd from Dongfang Hunshan's waist.

Two storage artifacts—Dongfang Hunshan's resources are truly impressive.

As for Dongfang Hunshan's body, Chen Guang intended to hand it over to Zhao Qiuxian for disposal, but Zhao Qiuxian waved his hand and wrapped it all up and threw it into the forest fire.

Even the deepest sorrows and anxieties of life seem light and airy at this moment.

Zhao Qiuxian witnessed everything that happened. He stared intently at the spot where Dongfang Hunshan's corpse had been thrown in for a long time before finally coming to his senses. Seeing that the forest was starting to burn because of the Golden Flame Flying Serpent Curse, he hurriedly said, "Let's leave first. It wouldn't be good if the commotion here attracted other cultivators."

Chen Guang nodded and hung the two storage artifacts on his waist, slightly concealing them with his clothes.

As for the Five-Colored Disc, Chen Guang naturally put it away. Although it was a low-grade spiritual artifact, it was versatile in both offense and defense, possessed all five elements, and could play a role in any situation. It was truly handy, and there was no reason not to use it.

This thing is complicated to make and therefore prone to failure, so it's not very common on the market. Chen Guang was quite satisfied to have obtained such a magical artifact here.

As for whether this five-color disc belongs to Dongfang Hunshan?

Chen Guang didn't have any psychological issues; he just wanted to burn and clean it up later.

The four people quickly left.

Chen Guang was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Even after taking another Star Leaf Powder, his mana was not enough to support him in continuing such a fierce battle. Chen Guang only discovered Dongfang Hunshan's whereabouts halfway through his fight with Blood Tiger. He made several moves along the way, and after several attempts, Chen Guang truly seized the weakness and acted swiftly and decisively, successfully launching a counterattack, which led to his victory.

As for the flames, no one cared. Fang Lin had a special way of operating the fire, and the wildfire would naturally extinguish itself once it spread to a certain extent, so it wouldn't have much impact on the Blood Tiger Road.

No one is allowed to destroy Fanglin at will.

As everyone was retreating, Wan Longjing suddenly said, "It's a pity that the Blood Tiger escaped."

Throughout the Blood Tiger Road, the number of Blood Tigers is not very large. Cultivators generally do not deliberately deal with them. If they cannot kill them quickly, chasing after Blood Tigers that have fled into the mountains may attract attacks from other Blood Tigers. They may not be protecting their own kind, but they will definitely see such cultivators as prey. Therefore, over time, the Blood Tigers of the Blood Tiger Road have gradually formed a large population and have cleverly adapted to this situation. They consciously help other Blood Tigers when they flee. As a result, the materials from a Blood Tiger are more valuable than one might imagine.

Chen Guang wasn't too concerned: "There's nothing we can do about it. Even if it survives, the damage caused by my magic will prevent that blood tiger from leaving behind much of value."

The flesh of the Blood Tiger is exceptionally tender, a rarity among demonic beasts, and its essence lies precisely in its flesh and blood.

The only problem is that the Blood Tiger's flesh and internal organs need blood to remain. Blood left in the Blood Tiger's corpse will not spoil for a long time and can maintain the quality of the Blood Tiger's flesh. However, under Chen Guang's fierce attack, most of its blood has already been burned off, and its quality has obviously decreased. Even if it is killed, the harvest will be smaller than expected.

"Now that our training is complete, shall we go and explore other places?" Zhao Qiuxian asked simply as they moved away from Blood Tiger Road.

"No, I'll come again if I have the chance. The duties of the two seniors don't lie in this." Chen Guang knew that Zhao Qiuxian was grateful to him, but now he also felt that it would be more convenient for him to act alone.

With all the treasures he possessed, Chen Guang's strength had already surpassed that of an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, making him fully capable of working alone; the others would only be a burden.

No matter how much guidance Wei Donglai and the other person had given him before, he had always stayed within the sect, essentially working in isolation. Only after coming out did he realize the true extent of his strength.

At least in the late stage of Qi Refining, ordinary rogue cultivators and ordinary family cultivators can fight against it on their own, and even the Heavenly Fire Fusion Crystal Diagram alone is enough.

But his own shortcomings are obvious.

Firstly, it's a matter of one's cultivation level, which limits one's magical power. This naturally determines the upper limit when facing unexpected situations. In a chaotic situation, no matter how many treasures one has, they may be useless.

Secondly, the Heavenly Fire Crystal Melting Diagram is still suitable as a surprise move. Frequent use will not only cause trouble for oneself, but will also make the enemy more prepared and less likely to succeed.

This move is too powerful, and it's right to avoid using it unless absolutely necessary.

For example, Dongfang Hunshan this time, who has mastered the wind technique, can come and go freely, and is good at ambushes. In addition, he had already suffered from the lack of combat experience in the Blood Tiger Road. So naturally, he cut the Gordian knot.

Chen Guang's attitude was firm, so Zhao Qiuxian didn't insist on anything anymore. However, his attitude changed significantly. He still maintained his previous easygoing attitude, but now he was more willing to listen to Chen Guang's opinions.

They left by the same route they had taken, mounted their horses, and returned to the streets outside Cangshi City.

These horses are all recorded, and it's easy to trace who rode them and where they went. Aside from offending the Cang clan, there's almost no benefit in it, so naturally no cultivator would steal these horses.

Back in his room, Chen Guang called over the other three and, in front of them, opened the Void Gourd and poured out all its contents.

It's a low-grade storage artifact, but it doesn't have any features like recognizing a master. It only has simple restrictions, which can't prevent others from using it immediately after obtaining it.

"Without your intelligence, seniors, I wouldn't have been able to kill Dongfang Hunshan so easily and avenge that arrow wound. Take a look at the contents of this room and see if there's anything you need." Chen Guang waved another storage artifact that looked like a brocade pouch in his hand. "All the good stuff is here, so I won't share it with you."

Although he had committed murder, when it came time to divide the spoils, Chen Guang suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

The death of Dongfang Hunshan was also tragic, and seeing his appearance was even more painful than when Chen Guang killed someone.

Such a thought flashed through their minds, and as Wan Longjing was the first to accept the arrangement and take some spiritual items, Zhao Qiuxian and the other two naturally followed suit.

This storage bag was clearly not Dongfang Hunshan's main storage bag. It also contained some monster body materials and some spiritual plants, in considerable quantities. Wan Longjing and the other two divided it among themselves. With so many spiritual plants, as long as the majority went to the Cang family, they could naturally take the monster materials with them.

Many independent cultivators specialize in harvesting spiritual plants for the Cang clan, rarely keeping any for themselves. Their aim is naturally to acquire materials from the demonic beasts and other spiritual items within Fanglin.

"Wait, is this 'Thunder Jade Emerald'?" Chen Guang, who was just watching the show, suddenly saw six carefully treated grapevines and his eyes lit up.

Lei Yu Emerald is not a type of jewelry, but the name of a precious grape spirit plant. Its fruit is round like a pearl and bright in color like jade, hence the beautiful name. It is the best choice for brewing [Electric Pulp]. So far, no spirit plant master has developed a suitable seed-condensing technique for this spirit plant.

The technique of seed condensation is the main means of getting seeds into the market.

The uncertainty of natural seed formation makes it suitable for individuals to make a small fortune, but not for large-scale market development.

The technique of creating seeds from spirit plants is ultimately only suitable for a small group of people and for spirit plant masters to use themselves. Only truly precious spirit plants are worth using this technique to condense seeds; otherwise, the harvest may not even be worth the plant essence invested.

"I'll take these few Thunder Jade Emeralds." Chen Guang took them directly, carefully examining one vine and the others. Naturally, no one objected. They felt more at ease taking the most precious Thunder Jade Emeralds that Chen Guang had taken.
