What do you mean by my awakened profession being Monster Hunter?

"Ah...you beast, I'm going to kill you!"

The true god was enraged, his body bursting with intense light, his aura suddenly becoming much stronger, like a sleeping lion suddenly awakening.

The next moment, Qi Shi'an's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace, leaving only one sentence behind.

"Old thief, this is the karma you beasts have sown, and you will have to pay for it slowly in the future."

"Thieves, please leave!"

The true god quickly chased after him out of the Bone Forest, only to find that the person had left without even a trace of his presence. He had killed someone, stolen something, and run away right under their noses—how could they possibly save face?!

"You despicable beast, no matter where you hide, the Beast Sea will hunt you down to the very end!"

The true god roared angrily, filled with endless killing intent and hatred, his forehead veins bulging, but alas, he could only stand there in powerless rage.

Two deities followed closely behind, carrying Chi Xieluo's mutilated corpse, and chased after him.

"Elder, what should we do? Xie Luo is dead. I'm afraid we will also be punished by the sect leader."

The two deities were filled with fear and unease. They knew their leader's temper better than anyone, and now that Chi Xieluo had been killed, they too were partly to blame.

What the two of them could think of, how could the true god not think of? But could they escape? They would likely be captured and brought back before even leaving Beast State, at which point they would only suffer an even more terrible death.

"Go back and say that you encountered a disciple of the Demon Dragon Sect, and that Xie Luo fought with him but unfortunately perished."

"We are only hindered by the true gods of the Demon Dragon Sect and cannot break away to provide support."

The true god gritted his teeth and used all his brain cells to fabricate such a lie, just to save his own life.

A deity said tremblingly, "I'm afraid the leader won't believe me if I do this."

"That person used the Immortal Binding Rope, a fact that is obvious to all, who can argue against it!"

……

"Wow, I didn't expect to get the qualification so easily."

Qi Shi'an said with a grin that the bone talisman he obtained was ranked in the top thousand, which was very high. With this token, he could directly enter the Immortal Ancient Realm without having to participate in the selection of the Spirit Realm.

How do I get to the no-man's-land?

Qi Shi'an's bone talisman was ranked too high, so the people of the Beast Sea would definitely search for it thoroughly. How to get to the no-man's land quietly was a big problem.

"Forget it, there's still some time before the Immortal Ancient Era opens, so let's take this opportunity to travel around."

Having made up his mind, he changed his appearance and immediately escaped from the Beast Continent via a teleportation array.

This place is no longer safe. The people of the Beast Sea will soon learn of Chi Xieluo's death, and once they realize it, they will immediately seal off the Beast State.

At that point, it will be even more difficult for him to leave and head to the no-man's-land.

In the heart of the Beast Sea lies the Ten Thousand Beast Ridge.

Thirty-six main peaks rise abruptly from the ground here, each one resembling a ferocious beast, its mouth open to swallow the essence of the sun and moon.

Located in the central area is the ancestral land of the Beast Sea—the Ancestral Hall of a Hundred Beasts, the place where the progenitor of the Beast Sea passed away, and also a sacred place.

This grand hall was nothing like the exquisite palaces of ordinary human beings; instead, it was filled with a primordial and domineering aura.

Inside the hall, three people knelt on the ground, their bodies trembling and cold sweat pouring from their foreheads.

"What crime have you committed for Xie Luo's death!"

The Lord of the Beast Sea was shrouded in chaotic mist, making him indistinct, with only a pair of fierce eyes visible.

Those were not ordinary eyes, but two ancient beast abysses containing endless ferocious beasts, with various fierce lights rising and falling in their depths.

The true god prostrated himself, his soul trembling, and stammered, "Beast Lord, it's...it's someone from the Demon Dragon Sect. That person...that person used some kind of secret technique, and their speed was astonishing."

"Yes, yes, that person also possessed a secret treasure that only the first generation could obtain, the Immortal Binding Rope," the powerful deity said tremblingly.

The Lord of the Beast Sea exuded an invisible pressure, causing the entire Ten Thousand Beast Ridge to rumble. Whether they were ancient remnants or pure-blooded beings, they all collapsed to the ground, trembling like leaves, without even the courage to raise their heads.

This oppressive force is not simply divine power, but rather an absolute crushing force originating from a higher level of life.

"From this day forward, all teleportation channels from Beast Continent to other major continents are to be closed. Entry is permitted, but exit is not!"

"The three of you will be imprisoned in the Avici Hell for five hundred years."

Upon hearing the name of the Beast Prison of No Return, the three of them trembled with fear and turned pale.

The Infernal Beast Prison is a place where anyone who enters will either die or have their bones scraped off, even if they are a god.

"Yes."

The three of them, looking dejected and wilted, retreated.

Chapter 144 Heavenly Meteor Academy

Beast State has entered a state of full martial law.

Not long after leaving the Forest of White Bones, Qi Shi'an rushed to the nearest city at top speed. He used the inter-domain teleportation array to flee for several days and finally arrived at the neighboring Tianyun Prefecture.

"The air is so fresh."

Qi Shi'an took a deep breath of fresh air, a blissful smile on his face. He had escaped Beast State, and from then on, the world was his oyster.

He hadn't felt this relaxed and carefree in a long time, and only because the Immortal Ancient Realm hadn't opened yet could he be so carefree.

Where should we go?

Qi Shi'an pondered that Shi Yi happened to be at Tianyun Academy, so perhaps he could infiltrate the academy and use the route to enter the vast uninhabited area.

Tianyun Prefecture is one of the most powerful prefectures in the Upper Realm. Tianyun Academy is located here, as are several ancient sects, making it extremely famous.

Several days later, he learned a lot about the situation in Tianyun Prefecture and discovered that Tianyun Academy was located at the intersection of Beast Prefecture, Tianyun Prefecture and Ying Prefecture.

Coincidentally, the plain where Qi Shi'an was located was near this area.

He traveled north, following the border into a lush, verdant region teeming with ferocious beasts and birds of prey.

"Roar... Boy, hand over any spiritual herbs or treasures you have, and I'll spare your life." A ferocious beast resembling a lion appeared, blocking the way.

Qi Shi'an's eyes gleamed as he carefully examined the beast's body, drool unconsciously dripping from the corner of his mouth.

He hadn't had sex in a long time; the last time was in the Donghua Secret Realm.

"Ah..." A scream, a beastly roar that shook the heavens.

Half an hour later, the aroma of meat wafted from the riverbank. Qi Shi'an roasted the ferocious beast, which was at the Array Realm, over the fire until it was golden and glistening, savoring the simple pleasures of life.

"I wonder if Shi Yi is at Tianyun Academy." Qi Shi'an muttered to himself.

On the ground lay a pile of ashes. He had eaten a whole ferocious beast and cooked a pot of soup, slowly savoring the meal while pondering how to infiltrate the Heavenly Meteor Academy.

Is it about revealing one's identity? Or is it about disguise?

Anyway, he made up his mind that he would rely on Tianyun Academy to enter the vast no-man's land.

A few days later, after passing through the dense forests, Qi Shi'an finally arrived at this bustling and sacred place of cultivation.

Tianyun Academy, located on the edge of the state, is exceptionally magnificent and imposing, covering a vast area that far surpasses that of ordinary megacities.

There, the clouds and mist rise and fall, the buildings of various ethnic groups are magnificent and tall, and there are even many sacred mountains and waterfalls in the academy, and a great river runs through it, which is very beautiful.

It enjoys a great reputation. Although the upper realm is vast and boundless, this academy is famous throughout the three thousand states for its long history and strength. It is on par with the Heavenly Immortal Academy in Heavenly Immortal State and is the most prestigious lineage.

"A painting of the Seven Fairies bathing at Tianyun Academy, anyone want it? The seven most stunning fairies!"

"The precious technique left behind by the Chongming Bird will be acquired by the highest bidder. Although it is incomplete, it points directly to the pinnacle of the Path of Light. A glimpse into its essence will allow one to understand the true meaning of the Great Path of Light and forge one's own path."

"A rare and precious medicine, an ancient medicine that is 9,999 years old, just one year away from becoming a 10,000-year-old medicine. Those interested are welcome to compete for it!"

……

As soon as Qi Shi'an stepped into this area, he heard the cries of vendors on both sides of the street. There was a huge market here, with a dense flow of people, and all kinds of treasures were being exchanged.

In fact, looking around, there are many satellite cities in the outer area of ​​the academy. When connected together, they surpass the giant city and cover a terrifyingly vast area.

"This city is even more vast than Blue Star in my previous life. It's truly terrifying," Qi Shi'an thought to himself.

These external areas were developed because of Tianyun Academy, and together they formed a spacious urban area, or ward area, which is much larger than Tianyun Academy itself.

It has been estimated that all satellite cities combined have a combined floating and permanent population of hundreds of millions.

Some have lived here for generations, some came here specifically to do business, and a large number of young people came from other states just to enter the academy for spiritual practice.

Qi Shi'an was in high spirits as he wandered through the satellite city and market. He had to admit that there were indeed treasures here, and rare treasures could be exchanged.

Just from what I can see, there are several kinds of ancient ferocious beast techniques, all of which are clearly priced and available for purchase.

Of course, that was an astronomical price, enough to bankrupt some large families, because it was too expensive for ordinary people to afford.

Qi Shi'an walked to a shop, picked up a piece of precious bone and examined it carefully. The Myriad Dao Tree within his body unconsciously inscribed the precious technique into the rune leaf.

This is the original precious bone of the Pixiu, although it is somewhat incomplete, but that doesn't stop it from getting things for free.

He asked, feigning interest, "How much does this precious technique cost?"

The shopkeeper gestured a number, and Qi Shi'an shook his head slightly, pretending to be unable to afford it, before leaving.

Qi Shi'an walked and stopped along the way, and finally arrived at a place called Linlang Pavilion.

Unlike the surrounding markets, Linlang Pavilion is a huge auction house backed by Tianyun Academy. It is said that many gods and elders from Tianyun Academy sell and consign their spoils and magical treasures there.

Because this is one of the highest cultivation holy lands in the upper realm, many scions of great families come here, gathering countless talents, with countless powerful families behind them, and many young people's families have the ability to purchase priceless treasures.

These precious techniques were obtained by super strong individuals through their travels and fortuitous encounters. They do not belong to the academy and are supernatural abilities that they no longer need and have discarded.

In addition, the supernatural abilities that the academy's outstanding talents acquire through their experiences in the outside world can also be consigned here if they are not needed.

Qi Shi'an searched around for something that interested him, intending to use the same trick again, but everything here was sealed and could not be touched.

Moreover, he discovered that good things and bad things coexisted here, with counterfeit goods being the most prevalent, which he found utterly distasteful.

"How about we consign the Xiangliu Precious Technique?"

Qi Shi'an had fully comprehended the innate treasure bone that he had taken from Chi Xieluo. Keeping this treasure bone on his body would only be a burden, so he might as well exchange it for some better things.

Incidentally, it would also be a chance to humiliate the beast sea. Imagine their expressions if they knew that their prodigy's innate treasure bone had been sold off cheaply. Just thinking about it is exciting.

"I wish to consign my precious bone, is that possible?"

At this moment, Qi Shi'an appeared at the counter, now dressed in the black robe he wore that day, his voice still hoarse.

"What kind of ferocious beast's precious bone?" At the counter, an old man, a true god, didn't even look up, busy with his work.

With a "smack," Qi Shi'an took out the Xiangliu Treasure Bone, slammed it on the counter, and said in a low voice, "Xiangliu!"

With a snap, the old man suddenly looked up, his pen broken in his hand. His eyelids twitched, and he asked, "Xiang Liu?! Do you really intend to consign this precious bone for sale?"

It should be noted that the Xiangliu Treasure Technique is a top-tier treasure technique. Even if it is incomplete, people will still be willing to pay a high price for it. It is a rare item that is priceless and has no market.

"This bone is no longer of any use to me. I would like to barter it with something else, or sell it to your Linlang Pavilion," Qi Shi'an said slowly.

"really?"

"Absolutely true!"

Qi Shi'an's words made the old man of the True God fall into deep thought. If he could obtain this precious bone, he would not only have a chance to comprehend it, but also receive a treasure bestowed by the Pavilion Master.

"Name your price," the old man said without much thought.

"A precious bone of equal value, or ten precious bones less valuable than the Xiangliu Precious Technique, or rare divine gold or ore!"

"Turn left after you leave, don't bother coming back!"

Upon hearing the price, the old man refused without hesitation. Although the Xiangliu Treasure Technique was precious, it was not worth the price.

"Don't rush, I'll name a price, you can bargain, as long as the price is reasonable."

Clearly, Qi Shi'an knew he was asking for an exorbitant amount, but he remained unhurried.

The old man, a true god, held up three fingers and said softly, "Three precious bones whose value is lower than that of the Xiangliu Precious Technique."

Nine pieces.

Four pieces!

"Eight dollars!"

Five yuan!

"..."

After a fierce round of bargaining...

In the end, Qi Shi'an sold the Xiangliu Treasure Bone to Linlang Pavilion in exchange for five pieces of remnant treasure bones and three rare minerals.
