The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

Time flew by and the year was drawing to a close. Another transaction had been completed, and Li Bing's cultivation had now reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

He should be very happy about his improved cultivation, but he is currently feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Because they repelled another wave of siren attacks, the siren obviously realized that continuing to stay here would only be a waste of manpower, so they planned to break through from other places.

This is good news for the others, since they're safe as long as the siren doesn't come.

But for Li Bing, who desperately needed the essence of demonic beasts, this was hindering his progress!

In particular, he also learned that the Burning Blood Sect offered a service to guarantee the production of Golden Core pills, although there were quantity restrictions.

But don't forget that the Burning Blood Sect has just become a righteous sect, and most people are skeptical of them. So as long as he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, he can basically get the spot if he meets the conditions.

Even if he has to pay back more, he can accept it!

But then another problem arises.

At first, Li Bing did indeed do as he had said before: kill a few monsters, pay off the debt, and that would be the end of it. Therefore, the coast patrol team was a perfect fit for him.

But now that his goals have changed, this position has become a shackle binding him. It's clearly impossible for him to change it on his own, so he had no choice but to seek help from Lu Changfeng, who was treating a patient.

"Hey, Li Bing, what brings you here!"

"Huh? You've actually reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!"

Because Lu Changfeng is now at the Golden Core stage, he quickly noticed Li Bing's weak spiritual power and the smell of blood essence pills on his body.

However, Li Bing immediately came up with the excuse he had prepared long ago.

"Hehehe, I unexpectedly found a few spirit fruits while resting, and this is what happened after I ate them!"

Lu Changfeng didn't expose this obviously fake excuse; instead, he nodded.

As a friend, you should maintain a certain distance. Unless it involves your own affairs, you shouldn't interfere in other people's decisions.

Besides, I had already told him that before, and he promised to live a good life after paying off the loan.

In the end, he still did it, so what else can he say?

"Alright!"

"By the way, what brings you here?"

Hearing that Lu Changfeng wasn't dwelling on the matter, Li Bing breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Lu Changfeng had never laid a hand on him, he was inexplicably afraid. Luckily, he didn't realize it, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to explain it.

Seeing that the conversation had finally reached this point, Li Bing immediately became excited.

"Hehehe, Brother Lu, I want to ask you for a favor this time!"

"I want to go to the front lines, but I'm currently on coast guard patrol, so I'd like to ask you to help me transfer to the front lines!"

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng immediately understood Li Bing's idea, but still couldn't help but remind him.

"It's very dangerous over there right now, are you sure you want to go?"

Don't be fooled by their previous high status at the Foundation Establishment stage. Remember, in this war between humans and demons, Foundation Establishment is just the lowest level. So, if Li Bing goes there, he'll just be cannon fodder.

"I'm sure!"

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng didn't say anything more, and immediately took out his communication jade slip to send a message to Ma Changshou.

After receiving confirmation from the other party, Lu Changfeng then looked at Li Bing.

"Alright! Go report for duty now!"

Li Bing was overjoyed.

"Hehehe, thanks, Brother Lu! Thanks, Brother Lu, I'll treat you to dinner when I get back!"

He waved and prepared to leave, but watching his departing figure, Lu Changfeng finally couldn't help but speak.

"Li Bing, is it worth it?"

However, upon hearing this, Li Bing assumed that Lu Changfeng was worried about his safety! So he simply gave a perfunctory reply.

"Of course it's worth it!"

Seeing this, Lu Changfeng sighed, then waved his hand.

Although Li Bing was puzzled by what he saw, he quickly forgot about it because his attention was now entirely focused on becoming a Golden Core expert.

The naval front has now been divided into zones based on the activity range of the sea creatures.

Li Bing, on the other hand, was assigned to the weaker side of the Mirage Clan.

In the next moment, countless sea monsters flew out of the sea.

Upon witnessing such a terrifying scene, the newcomers panicked and even Li Bing couldn't help but begin a frenzied attack on the sea monsters.

However, as his axe, imbued with an aura of strange phenomena, fell, he knew it was an illusion since he felt no resistance whatsoever.

However, just as he relaxed, a cultivator in the early Foundation Establishment stage next to him had his body severed by a single pincer strike from a true sea monster that was mixed in with the phantom.

This immediately made my relaxed heart jump again.

"The siren is coming! Kill!"

In an instant, the surrounding cultivators also joined the battle.

This war between humans and demons sounds like a large-scale military operation, but in reality it's still a normal demon-hunting mode.

Simply put, no matter where you are, all you need is proof of killing the siren.

Not only can you earn spirit stones from the bodies of monsters, but you can also get bounty rewards.

As for the battle lines, this was simply because it made it less likely to be surrounded, thus creating a passive situation.

The real progress still depends on that group of Golden Core stage cultivators.

They won, advancing their battle lines. Foundation Establishment cultivators cleared out the remaining sea monsters. They lost, and naturally, the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the human side were also hunted down.

Aside from being a bit flustered at first, Li Bing quickly adapted to the current fighting rhythm.

After becoming familiar with the fighting style of the jellyfish clan, he was even able to kill the real sea monsters hidden among countless indistinguishable phantoms.

In just six months, he became the captain of a demon-hunting team and a powerful cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage.

As his cultivation level drew ever closer to qualifying him for the Golden Core advancement, Li Bing's behavior became increasingly reckless.

"Damn it, what are you all doing hiding in the back? Come and fight with me!"

Suddenly, a teammate behind him watched as his friend died in a siege by sea monsters. His eyes finally welled up with tears. During a break from a major battle, he looked at Li Bing...

"Captain, what are you doing?"

"Why do you always have to be at the front? Do you know that this can lead to casualties among your teammates?!"

However, Li Bing remained unconcerned about the criticisms from his teammates.

"Heh, if you don't have the ability, don't come here. Just go back to Tianxing City and be a good boy, going to get off work and coming home every day. What are you doing here!"

"If you're too weak to survive, don't blame others!"

He himself had risen to this point through countless battles. If these people couldn't even do that while following him, what were they doing here?

At this moment, he was completely unaware that this was because he had rushed too far in, and instead simply attributed the deaths and injuries of his teammates to their poor skills.

The end result was that all the loose cultivators who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage under Li Bing's command were transferred to other teams, and now Li Bing's team was left with only him!

Li Bing didn't care about this at all, because he had already reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment and was about to reach the peak of Foundation Establishment.

With the Golden Elixir within reach, he was already impatient.

But he didn't notice that dark clouds had already gathered over the sea!
