Leng Shiqi didn't look at the carcass of the Iron Hoof Beast. He adjusted the spirit energy in his body and prepared to leave.
Such a strong smell of blood would soon attract other beasts.
Even though he wasn't afraid, there was no benefit in killing the beasts. It was purely a waste of effort.
Moreover, the two people who died didn't have anything valuable on them. It could be said that he gained nothing from this battle.
Just as he was about to leave, Leng Shiqi's body paused, as if he remembered something.
Walking to the headless carcass of the Iron Hoof Beast, Leng Shiqi called out the system. A line of words appeared in front of him:
"Worth 11 System Coins. Sell?"
"Yes."
Then the carcass of the Iron Hoof Beast suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only a large, ferocious head.
"So it can be like this. It's not like I didn't gain anything." Leng Shiqi muttered and immediately left.
As he walked, he felt the spirit energy in his body.
"Mesmerizing Flowers" consumed about 30% of his spirit energy. In addition, it put a lot of burden on his body.
However, he wasn't dissatisfied. Instead, he was even more excited.
Because this could be said to be a technique that he created himself!
Although the foundation was the Wicker Swordsmanship and Confusion Footwork, combining them was still a self-created technique, wasn't it?
At this moment, Leng Shiqi was thinking about more.
The reason why he was able to cultivate several spiritual techniques to perfection was because of the system's help.
Even though he had witnessed the cultivation process in the gray space, he still felt that it was unreal.
For example, the Wicker Swordsmanship and Confusion Footwork. His understanding of these two spiritual techniques was deeper than the system's. This was something that truly belonged to him!
This was even more so for the technique he comprehended.
This technique was completely his own!
From the beginning, Leng Shiqi was a bit wary of the system. If he didn't have the system now, and it took away what he obtained from the system.
But it couldn't take away his own understanding and understanding. It couldn't take away what he comprehended.
Yes.
He could still use this technique.
When Leng Shiqi thought of this, the haze in his heart dissipated a lot. He was very happy and almost wanted to laugh a few times, but he held it back.
Soon, Leng Shiqi crawled into the dark, damp tree hole. His heart, however, calmed down, as if he had returned to a warm home.
Leng Shiqi casually put aside the water bag and the bag of food, then took out two stones that were glowing with a faint light from his bosom.
They were spirit stones.
Leng Shiqi gently rubbed the two spirit stones in his hand and said to himself, "There are only twelve or thirteen days left until the one-month agreement with the Delta Aurigae. I have to hurry."
When he comprehended the move "Mesmerizing Flowers", although he did not wholeheartedly devote himself to cultivation, every time he used up his Spiritual Qi and recovered it, his cultivation would improve a little. It was actually faster than meditating and cultivating.
With a rank 1 technique, Leng Shiqi's spirit qi was not far from the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
As long as he absorbed these two spiritual stones, he would be able to advance to the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm!
Eleven days later.
The black robe on Leng Shiqi's body suddenly fluttered. Then, he stopped cultivating and opened his eyes, revealing a hint of joy.
"Success!"
At this moment, his cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm!
"At least I didn't break my promise. It's about time to prepare to leave." Leng Shiqi muttered and simply packed up.
Actually, there was nothing much.
He wrapped up the food and tied the water bag to his waist.
Then, he carried the fine iron sword on his back, tied the dagger to his ankle, and hid the five silver needles in his sleeve. Finally, he hid the card, Golden Sore Medicine, and Spirit Recovery Powder close to his body.
As for the steel ingot … it would be a treasure to guard the house.
At this moment, Leng Shiqi opened the system and saw his own information:
Name: Leng Shiqi (Liu Xingzhi)
Cultivation: Ninth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm
Technique: Rank 1 technique "Mountain Shattering Force"
Spiritual Skill: Unranked spiritual skill "Triple Water Ripple Palm" (Peak)

System Coins: 12
Before leaving, Leng Shiqi decided to draw another prize. Perhaps he could get something good.
Not long after, Leng Shiqi left the tree hole. There was an extra book called "Intimate Paradise" in the tree hole.
There was only a little more than a day left until the appointed time. Leng Shiqi planned to go to the Barren Land and scout the area.
At the same time, he was also puzzled because he couldn't think of anything good in the Barren Land.
Just like its name, the Withered Lands were called Withered Lands because that area was completely barren, with only wild grass left.
Of course, it wasn't that there were no traces of people. Some cultivation resources would occasionally fall there. Naturally, there would be people fighting for them.
Speaking of which, in two days, it would be time for the Barren Land to erupt with cultivation resources. If there were any items nearby, he could try to fight for them.
After leaving the tree hole, Leng Shiqi first went to the pond to bring enough water. Along the way, he also picked some edible fruits. This time, it went very smoothly.
Not long after, Leng Shiqi arrived at the Barren Land.
The entire Barren Land was overgrown with weeds that were half a person's height. A few withered trees stood scattered around. It was a desolate place.
"There's not even a place to hide?" Observing the surroundings, Leng Shiqi couldn't help but frown.
"Who's there?!" Suddenly, Leng Shiqi heard footsteps behind him and immediately went into battle mode.
"So it's you." Leng Shiqi turned around and saw that it was Delta Aurigae.
Delta Aurigae's expression was a little strange. She looked like she was making a fuss about nothing.
Leng Shiqi could only cough lightly. "Ahem, it's never wrong to be cautious."
"You didn't miss the appointment and came early." Delta Aurigae walked over and said softly.
"Of course, now can you tell me what it is?" Leng Shiqi was very concerned about what he was about to do.
"It's a long story. Let me ask you first, have you ever been to the inner area of Blood Mist Island?" Delta Aurigae walked in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
"Inner area?" Leng Shiqi's eyes widened slightly.
Blood Mist Island indeed had outer area, inner area, and central area. The central area was the small mountain where the blood-colored tower was built.
There was actually no obvious boundary between the outer area and the inner area. Everyone was divided according to the rank of the monster beast.
The area where low-level monster beasts appeared could be said to be the outer area. If a true rank one monster beast appeared in an area, it would be considered the inner area.
A rank one monster beast was equivalent to a Spirit Cultivator in the Pure Spirit Realm.
Moreover, monster beasts were naturally stronger than humans. An ordinary Spirit Cultivator in the Pure Spirit Realm would not be able to face a rank one monster beast alone.
Leng Shiqi had only heard of it and had never gone too deep. He had only been wandering around the outer area. He immediately shook his head.
Delta Aurigae pondered for a moment and said, "There are indeed many rank one monsters in the inner area. This is something that many people know, so they shrink back.
But they don't know that other than the powerful monster beasts, there are even more precious resources inside!
Just the cultivation resources that fall into the inner area are not small. This is only secondary. What's more precious is that there will be some heaven and earth treasures! "
"So that's how it is, hmm?
You, you've been to the inner area?! "Leng Shiqi could not help but be shocked when he heard this and asked.
"That's right. Otherwise, where do you think my cultivation came from?
By bitter cultivation? "Delta Aurigae tilted her head slightly and said indifferently.
