Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

The combat sounds could be heard in the distance. Someone must have encountered the beastkins. The impact sounds were very lively like a concert. Qin Yi walked leisurely walked into the forest through the bushes.

Celestial fruit was a kind of natural treasure, which matured every sixty years. It would not spoil quickly when matured and would hang on the tree for a long time. Therefore, in previous years, they usually waited until the few other things matured before harvesting them.

This fruit could replenish and strengthen vitality. If it was refined into an elixir, it had many effects. Qin Yi was interested in the effects of expanding lifespan and recovering vitality.

For example, an elixir, that originally could only increase one's lifespan by ten years, could extend to fifteen years after adding the celestial fruit, while the loss of vitality could be replenished.

Qin Yi's mind was drifting as he thought about the icy elixir wrapped in blood in his ring.

Since arriving in this Geo Secret Realm, he had thought of Cheng Cheng from time to time. The nature of celestial fruit made him associate it with this elixir.

Qin Yi still didn't know that this elixir had shortened Cheng Cheng's lifespan, but that didn't stop him from guessing that the blood in this elixir belonged to Cheng Cheng. He wouldn't consume it unless it was necessary. The grudges he had at the beginning have long since disappeared over time, and he was still wearing the clothes and jade pendant she made...

Instead, some memories were lingering. The infinite charming but gentle girl with white clothes, golden rings, and bare feet… and the words 'take the pill and you stay'.

This elixir was the biggest token, carrying a very memorable past.

If it could be refined again with other ingredients, this elixir would bloom with higher value. He would definitely get the celestial fruits even if it were not for the competition.

"Swoosh!" A green snake shot out from a nearby tree like lightning and attacked Qin Yi on the back of the neck.

"Bang!" The human suddenly turned into a white snake with two wings. Its eyes were fierce.

The green snake was startled and ran away instinctively.

The white snake turned back into Qin Yi who was laughing to himself.

Before encountering a high-level beastkin, even a Morphing Stage beastkin would inevitably be affected by such a vivid transformation. This was Qin Yi's most advantageous technique in this kind of primitive ecology. It was much more convenient than fighting along the way...

It was a pity that Qin Yi's transformations had many limitations. For example, he couldn't even if transformed into something that could fly. When he transformed into Ye Ling just now, he was only floating in the air for a moment and would fall down soon, so he immediately transformed back. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to have a Flying Serpent crawling on the ground.

Even though Ye Ling herself was embarrassing enough.

Another example was that he couldn't transform into something he hadn't seen before. For example, Cheng Cheng had never revealed her true form, so he couldn't transform into Shenghuang. After thinking about it, the only high-level beastkin he had come into contact with was Ye Ling.

What a shame.

After thinking for a long time, it wasn't right to turn into a Blood Scaled Dragon and crawl on the ground... So he turned into King Guo, a ferocious tiger with extremely sharp claws.

A tiger swaggered into the primitive jungle, looking invincible. All the nearby beastkins were frightened away.

He might have tough battles against some of them, but now he didn't even have to move his finger.

Fortunately, the people outside couldn't see inside, otherwise they would be dumbstruck. This was a shameful act, which was against the way of the Myriad Tao Immortal Palace.

He carefully followed the route marked by the 'navigation' and avoided the stronger beastkin areas, then he arrived at a rock in the forest.

There were several branches growing diagonally high on the rocks with red round fruits hanging on them. They were no bigger than apples. The fruits exuded a strange fragrance. Several snakes raise their necks at the foot of the cliff, salivating.

This was the celestial fruit, and the beastkin snakes staring at the fruit under this ecology.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Each snake was as thick as a human body, and their strength was at the peak of the Morphing Stage.

At this stage, they could transform into a human form, but it didn't mean that they had to transform into a human form. If they didn't live in human society, there was no need to transform at all. Maybe they hadn't seen what a human looked like, so they couldn't transform.

Hearing the sound of something approaching, all the snakes turned their heads in unison, and then their slit-like pupils narrowed sharply with fighting intent.

The Guo form couldn't scare them away as if to declare that this was their territory.

In fact, Qin Yi didn't transform purely to avoid fighting. The native beastkin here made him miss a lot, and he didn't want to kill all the beastkins he encountered. So he thought about it and turned into the Flying Serpent again.

A much thicker Flying Serpent, as thick as a Blood Scaled Dragon, with wings and heavenly flames spurting from its mouth. It looked extremely ferocious.

It was not just transformation, but it also involved acting skills.

The beastkin snakes finally ran away in terror.

"The stupid snake form is really a good trick." Qin Yi smiled and transformed back into human form, then he started picking the fruits.

"I didn't expect Junior Qin to have such a method." A voice came from not far away. Qin Yi turned around and saw Zhou Yuncheng leaning on the edge of the mountain wall, smiling at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was not surprised. He said with a smile, "Please tolerate my low skills."

Seeing that his hands were still picking up the fruits, Zhou Yuncheng finally showed a hint of coldness in his eyes. "Using force here is allowed. Does Junior Qin really think I won't attack you?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "But I'm not afraid of you."

"Then are you afraid of it?" Before Zhou Yuncheng finished speaking, a bloody wind surged, and the sun suddenly dimmed.

Qin Yi looked up and saw a ferocious beast with the shape of a tiger and an ox tail charging straight from the sky.

Qin Yi quickly moved away, and the ferocious beast slammed to the ground, causing the ground to sink a foot deep. The ferocious beast raised its head bloodthirstyly and roared at Qin Yi, "Woof!"

Qin Yi instantly thought of what this was.

Tiger shape, ox tail, and barks like a dog. Its name is Tigox(only manage to find the image). But it is not cute at all. It is a typical man-eating beast.

And it is at the Pellet Condensation Stage... which corresponds to the Cloud Riding Stage.

I can't resist this Cheng Cheng-level beastkin.

But it didn't attack Qin Yi immediately. It seemed a little scared. It could be that it saw his Flying Serpent form or some other reason.

Qin Yi stared at the pig and took out the 'navigation map'. He slowly retreated and said, "Senior Zhou, aren't you afraid of being attacked by that beast for leading it here?"

Zhou Yuncheng laughed. "Our medical sect has some medicinal powders that can ward off beastkins. Of course, there are also some medicinal powders that can attract beastkin beasts. When I greeted you outside, I had already secretly sprinkled some medicinal powders on you. Junior Qin, just crush the jade and let your sect master rescue you."

"You guys even do to this extent. So you are not just trying to trick me, but you really want to get first place for the prize?"

"Junior Qin doesn't have to worry about it. You should deal with the beastkin first." Zhou Yuncheng looked at the Tigox that seemed to be hesitating, then he quickly took out a bottle and uncorked it.

The pig seemed to be stimulated by something and charged toward Qin Yi.

Qin Yi quickly tapped on the 'navigation map'.

In the painting, a slender hand suddenly stretched out and slapped its head. The ferocious beastkin fainted to the ground.

A Pellet Condensation Stage beastkin was killed by a slap...

Zhou Yuncheng was dumbfounded. "How… how is this..."

"Your sect doesn't seem to be familiar with the painting world." Qin Yi put away the 'navigation chart' with a smile and said, "What do you think the Tigox is afraid of? It sensed the Radiant Yang Stage power of the Senior Ju, but it wasn't sure. Senior Zhou, even a Tigox is smarter than you?"

Zhou Yuncheng said angrily, "You cheater!"

"We are both the same." Qin Yi took out the jade flute and swirled it on his finger. His eyes gradually became cold, "I haven't fought with anyone for a long time, and I'm itching for a fight. Let's see what your sect can do besides tricking people.”

TL: They wouldn't think a beastkin can handle Qin Yi, right?
