You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"Picking peaches?" Chen Huai'an looked completely taken aback.

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.

Chen Huai'an never intended to take advantage of the other party. He was simply passing by and, having heard of fighting nearby, came to investigate.

"You're not here to pick the peaches, what are you doing hiding here so suspiciously? And who is your accomplice? Bring him out right now." Old Luo stared at his surroundings warily. He didn't believe that Chen Huai'an alone could take their peaches.

"Old Luo, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and finish this quickly, we can't hold on any longer." Zhang Song frowned when he saw that Old Luo and Chen Huai'an weren't fighting.

The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for them.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Luo also wanted to kill Chen Huai'an. However, during their previous exchange, he had already tested Chen Huai'an's true strength. This man was probably hiding his true power and wasn't just a late-stage seventh level Body Refinement cultivator as he appeared.

This person is likely at the eighth level of the late stage of Body Refinement, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to injure him in a single encounter. Although he was already injured, it was a surprise attack, and the opponent's reaction speed was also superior to his.

This guy may seem like an easy target, but he's actually a tough nut to crack.

"I have a heart that appreciates talent, so I'll give you a chance. Leave now, and we won't pursue this matter." Old Luo thought for a moment and decided that it was still not the right time to clash with Chen Huai'an.

Even if they wanted to deal with this guy, they would first have to eliminate the bear demon, and then the three of them would work together to kill him. Right now, all he had to do was keep Chen Huai'an calm and prevent him from doing anything malicious.

"Go? Why should I leave? Is this your home? If you just leave like that, I'll lose face." Chen Huai'an stared coldly at the other person.

These people were very wary of him. Before he even made a move, they wanted to kill him first. These three guys were no good.

If the three of them didn't make a move, he would just watch and observe how they killed the demon.

But now, Chen Huai'an isn't going to let it go so easily.

In reality, this world is a dog-eat-dog world; if you want to survive, you have to be ruthless enough.

If others are bullying you and you still want to settle things peacefully, then that's your problem.

"Kid, do you really want to go against us?" Seeing that Chen Huai'an was unmoved, Old Luo took a deep breath and said coldly.

"It's not that I want to oppose you, you attacked first." Chen Huai'an sneered. He was going to take the bear demon's corpse today.

The corpse of the bear demon is a highly nutritious food.

Chen Huai'an also discovered another problem: the flesh and blood of demonic beasts have different properties, and the benefits he gets from eating them are also different.

Chen Huai'an possesses five elemental spiritual roots. Although his spiritual root aptitude is not good, he consumed the demonic beast meat of the Green Wood Wolf, which makes him much more compatible with wood-type spiritual power when circulating the Azure Cloud Body Refining Technique.

Upon reaching the peak of the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm, one must convert the spiritual energy within the body into magical power.

Those with a wood-elemental spiritual root will have their spiritual energy converted into magical power that leans towards the wood element. Cultivating wood-elemental techniques will be twice as effective with half the effort.

Chen Huai'an set a goal for himself: to possess the power of the five elements within his body.

Therefore, he must eat as much monster meat of various attributes as possible so that he can convert it into corresponding magic power more quickly and break through to the Qi Refining Realm.

The more magical power he masters, the stronger he becomes.

Chen Huai'an's thinking was very simple.

The more attribute-based techniques he cultivates, the stronger he becomes, and he no longer needs to worry about attribute incompatibility or being targeted by others.

Seeing that Chen Huai'an wouldn't even let go of the cooking fumes, Old Luo also felt that things were getting a bit tricky. He was already injured, and this guy was at the eighth level of the late stage of Body Refinement. If he made a move, he had no chance of winning. He could only send a telepathic message to Zhang Song to appease the guy first.

Just then, Zhang Song shouted directly to Chen Huai'an, "Young man, this bear demon is powerful. If it attracts other hunting teams, we won't be able to protect it at all. How about we join forces to kill this beast together, and then we'll split the bear demon's carcass equally?"

Now that they're joining forces to deal with this bear demon, although they'll get a smaller share of the spoils, it's definitely in their best interest.

Upon hearing this, Chen Huai'an could tell what the other party wanted to do: to recruit him into their group.

Since we can't beat him, we're now thinking of recruiting him into our group.

This is not impossible.

But since Old Luo attacked him for no reason, he immediately ruled out the possibility of them joining forces.

If he were strong enough, he wouldn't be afraid; but if he were weak, he would probably have been killed in Old Man Luo's sneak attack.

Chen Huai'an naturally wouldn't cooperate with people like that.

They thought he was there to steal the spoils and plunder the fruits of their labor, so they decided to let him have his way.

"Young man, have you thought this through? If we risk our lives now and attract other hunters, we won't get any benefits. If we join forces and kill this bear demon, you can get twenty or thirty low-grade spirit stones, and you won't have to take any risks." Zhang Song said quickly when he saw that Chen Huai'an didn't say anything.

"Give me twenty or thirty low-grade spirit stones. You say I'm here to pick the peaches? Well, that's exactly what I'm here to pick the peaches. I want this bear demon. If you don't want to die, disappear from my sight immediately," Chen Huai'an said coldly.

"What? You want this bear demon and then tell us to get lost? You really think we're easy targets? Do you think the three of us are easy to bully?" Zhang Song was furious when he heard this. This guy was simply shameless. He took advantage of our kindness.

"If you don't leave, you'll have to bear the consequences." Chen Huai'an stared coldly at the other party.

The strongest person here is Zhang Song. Once the fight starts, he will severely injure Zhang Song immediately.

As for Old Man Luo and Ma San Niang, they are nothing to fear.

"If we want to take down this bear demon today, we can't do it without dealing with this kid first. Third Sister, you hold this bear demon back for a moment, and I'll deal with this kid and then come back to help you," Zhang Song transmitted to Ma San Niang.

He would never give up a lucrative position worth over a hundred spirit stones to Chen Huai'an, even if it meant getting injured.

By eliminating Chen Huai'an, they might even be able to make a small profit.

Old Luo also received a telepathic message from Zhang Song. Instead of trying to persuade Chen Huai'an, he brandished his long sword and charged at Chen Huai'an.

If they don't obey, just kill them.

As Old Luo moved, Zhang Song also broke away from the battlefield. He kicked off the ground and charged towards Chen Huai'an like a cannonball. His axe slashed at Chen Huai'an with the force of a mountain crashing down.

Faced with the two men's fierce attack, Chen Huai'an swung his long sword and took the initiative to meet them.

As he leaped up, he kicked at Old Man Luo, who was rushing towards him.

Chen Huai'an met Luo Laotou's attack with his foot. A ferocious glint flashed in Luo Laotou's eyes. He was still a young man after all, but he lacked any sense of judgment and actually tried to withstand Chen Huai'an's spiritual weapon with his body.

That one strike of his could definitely cut off his leg.

Just as Chen Huai'an's foot touched the spiritual weapon in Old Man Luo's hand, he spun around and struck the opponent's blade at an impossible angle with his toe. A terrifying force erupted from his toe, and with one kick, he sent the opponent's spiritual blade flying. His body paused, and he slashed at Zhang Song's axe with his longsword. Then, using the force, he kicked Old Man Luo.

"Pfft!" Old Luo spat out blood, his face filled with terror.

How can you be so strong?
