Chapter 253 - 112: Fourth Grade! Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect

Chapter 253: Chapter 112: Fourth Grade! Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect

He then walked toward the enormous stone vat in the center of the cave.

The mouth of the vat was sealed tightly with damp mud and broad leaves.

Lin Yi carefully peeled away the layers of covering.

With a soft POP, the seal was broken.

Instantly.

A ferocious Demon Qi, so dense it was almost tangible and mixed with a vast, vital essence, erupted forth. It instantly filled the entire cave, making the very air feel thick.

Lin Yi’s Spirit was roused. He moved closer to the vat’s mouth to inspect it carefully. Inside, he saw a viscous, dark red liquid, as thick as mercury, with a faint golden glow shimmering within it—it was the precious blood of a Demon King Level beast!

’Good! The essence is perfectly preserved, with very little lost!’

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, a look of satisfaction on his face.

He was already prepared. He immediately took out the specially made Jade Boxes from his Space Ring.

Carefully, using a special jade ladle, he scooped out the viscous, scalding precious blood and transferred it, ladle by ladle, into the Jade Boxes.

He filled a full ten Jade Boxes before the enormous stone vat was finally empty.

He quickly sealed each filled Jade Box. The jade material prevented the essence from dissipating.

’With these Jade Boxes to lock in the Spiritual Qi, plus the nearly stagnant flow of time inside the Space Ring, the essence of this precious blood will last for a very long time.’

Satisfied, Lin Yi stored the ten heavy Jade Boxes away, his mind at ease.

Finally.

He walked to the other side of the cave.

There, the Mosquito Avatar had used loose stones to create a small, simple herb garden. In the damp soil grew over twenty plants of various forms.

Some had leaves like jade, emitting a cool aura. Others had crimson stalks topped with Vermilion Fruits. Still others bore inconspicuous little flowers that filled the air with a delightful, unique fragrance...

These were all Spirit Medicines the Mosquito Avatar had found in the uninhabited depths of the mountain range using its Tracking skill, which it had then carefully transplanted or collected.

Lin Yi crouched down, his movements gentle and practiced, and took out more Jade Boxes.

He carefully dug up the Spirit Medicines one by one, soil and all, taking care not to damage their roots. He then placed them reverently into the Jade Boxes and quickly sealed them.

Soon.

The small herb garden was completely empty.

All the Spirit Medicines had been safely transferred into his Space Ring.

He looked around.

The once treasure-filled cave was now bare.

All his spoils, all his accumulated gains, were now safely stored in the Space Ring.

Lin Yi dusted the dirt from his hands, a self-satisfied smile on his face.

"All set!"

He turned and strode out of the cave.

The supplies in his base had been moved.

Next, it was time to hunt.

...

Deep within the Taihang Mountain Range, ancient trees towered into the sky. Their gnarled branches intertwined like giant umbrellas, shattering the sunlight into scattered fragments.

Lin Yi’s figure moved swiftly through the dense, primeval jungle, the layer of decaying leaves rustling softly under his feet.

Above his head.

The cloaked Mosquito Avatar hovered silently like a Ghost, following his every move.

It blended perfectly into its surroundings, becoming the jungle’s most hidden hunter.

’Tracking, activate!’

At Lin Yi’s thought, the Tracking skill instantly activated.

In that instant.

A translucent Energy Map unfolded deep within his consciousness, covering a twenty-li radius!

On the map, countless points of light—some bright, some dim, some large, some small—flickered as densely as the stars on a summer night.

From the rabbits darting through the grass and monkeys leaping between the canopies, to the ferocious Demon Beasts lurking in caves and by streams, nothing could hide. It formed a vibrant yet perilous ecological map of the jungle.

’Found one!’

Lin Yi’s sharp gaze instantly locked onto a point of light on the map. It was exceptionally bright, its energy fluctuations as intense as a small torch!

Those surging energy fluctuations far surpassed any of the other points of light. It was definitely a Fourth Grade Demon Beast!

Without a moment’s hesitation, Lin Yi flipped his left hand over, and a cold light flashed.

The Star Spear, its entire body shimmering with a deep, star-like luster, was already clutched in his hand.

He pushed off the balls of his feet, and his entire body shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. With the Mosquito Avatar overhead, he sped toward the Fourth Grade Demon Beast’s location, his figure leaving a blurry afterimage in the dense forest.

Finally.

By a crystal-clear, babbling stream, Lin Yi locked onto his target.

It was a tiger demon of astonishing size!

It was nearly five meters long, its colorful fur glittering with a metallic sheen under the dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy.

Most terrifying were the two ferocious, exposed fangs in its mouth. They were like giant scimitars—ghastly white, razor-sharp, and over half a meter long, radiating a chilling, malevolent aura.

It looked exactly like a saber-toothed beast straight out of a primeval, savage era!

ROAR!!!

The saber-toothed tiger’s perception was extremely sharp; it discovered the intruder the instant Lin Yi appeared.

It let out a deafening, furious roar. The sound wave sent ripples across the stream and caused the surrounding leaves to fall in a flurry.

Its massive body exploded with terrifying speed that belied its size. Wreathed in a foul wind, it was like a moving mountain of flesh as it fearlessly pounced at Lin Yi!

Fangs aimed, claws tearing through the air!

"Bring it on!"

Faced with this incomparably ferocious pounce, Lin Yi felt no fear. Instead, a blazing fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

He snorted coldly. His Qi and Blood surged, and he abruptly channeled power into his feet!

CRACKLE!

A piercing crackle of electricity exploded forth!

Dazzling blue lightning instantly coiled around his legs like two violent thunder serpents.
