C6 (1/2)
They finally arrived at the ape's cave. It was cool and refreshing, somewhat secluded, but the danger was gone.
After arriving at the ape's treasure trove, Shaoqing was dazzled by what she saw. Needless to say, there were several tens of thousands of taels of gold. Although the ape didn't need them, it had still killed quite a number of humans and had accumulated a lot of wealth.
No wonder someone said that the Demonic Beast Mountain Range was a treasure trove, with many people suddenly getting rich in one night. That's right, if they did a few more tickets, they would earn a lot.
”Big Brother, these things are not bad, right?” ”Eh, actually, I lied to you. Actually, this monkey knew that I found its treasure and chased after me.” Tian Rong scratched his head in embarrassment.
”I know. Otherwise, how would you know there are so many good things here? ”
”Originally, I was here to steal something to eat, but when I heard this monkey mutter to itself, it turned out that it had stolen a treasure trove belonging to the King of Purgatory. No wonder he wanted to kill me. Once the news was leaked, it would have no place to die.
”However, these things still belong to us!” Shaoqing also laughed happily.
There weren't any trash in this world, only resources were placed in the wrong place. This was truly a famous saying. Furthermore, why would there be trash here? It was just a bit lacking compared to the other trash.
After spending an entire day, Shaoqing was finally able to compile a list of treasures.
There were a lot of things in the white and yellow color, many Demonic Beast Cores, all Demonic Cores of the Spirit Stage. There were a lot of things in the white and yellow color, a lot of Demonic Beast Cores, all of them Demonic Cores of the Spirit Realm.
There were also many herbs, broken weapons, broken weapons, and even low-grade spirit stones. Although there were only a few dozen of them, they had never eaten pork before or seen a pig run before. A low-grade spirit stone was worth ten thousand gold taels.
”Eh?” A light suddenly flashed across Li Shaoqing's eyes. It turned out to be a ring.
Li Shaoqing hurriedly went to find it. He looked it up and down and carefully examined the ring. However, he was unable to find any traces of it.
”Tian Rong, come here. What use does this ring have?” Xiao Qing shouted at the mischievous rat.
”Let me see.” Tian Rong ran over. ”Give it to me.”
Shaoqing tossed the ring to Tian Rong. Tian Rong clenched his teeth so hard that his teeth nearly broke. ”Ah! So hard!”
”Sigh, let's put this thing away first. We'll think of a way to get it in the future. ”How could the collection of the demonic beasts be ordinary?” Shaoqing put the ring back into his pocket.
”That's right, big brother, you haven't even brought your weapon. Since there are so many materials here, there are also quite a few broken weapons and not much damaged weapons. Although with your strength, you won't be able to forge any good weapons, but it's still better than not using any weapons at all.”
”Yes.” Since Shaoqing's soul body had already entered into his sea of consciousness, it was much easier for him to think and his spiritual nature was much stronger.
The saber was too domineering, not good. The spear was too sharp, but it lacked the temperament of someone who would rule the world.
The staff was already famous for its toughness. Even though he had used it for a month and felt a little about it, he still felt that it was not good. It was not agile. The axe was famous for its berserk attacks.
After getting rid of the numerous weapons, Shaoqing felt that the sword was a good weapon.
A swordsman, a king, and an imposing figure, standing in the face of the heavens and the earth without losing any of the majesty of an emperor, unfettered and unrestrained, yet possessing the might of an overlord.
Shaoqing thought to himself, I'll just use the sword. I'll search for the usable items from the refining materials as well as the damaged sword. Although I've already gathered most of the things, there are still some things that I haven't finished preparing.
As for Shaoqing, he would do the best if he wanted to do it. This was also his goal.
”Tian Rong, stay here and look at the materials. Don't run around.” Li Shaoqing said to Tian Rong, ”Don't leave them to steal food.” After saying that, Li Shaoqing threw a few pieces of meat to him. Li Shaoqing prepared three months' worth of food and ate it himself for one month. The other two months were spent by Tian Rong during these few days.
”Oh, can't I go out with you?” Tian Rong was a bit depressed.
”No.”

After Shaoqing left the ape's cave, he released his spiritual sense and began to walk on the edge of the inner and middle walls one step at a time.
He didn't relax at all. He was bitten by the demonic snake because he was relaxed. Therefore, even if it didn't look like he was in any danger, he still needed to be on his guard.
”Young friend, please stop.” A rather flirtatious looking young master walked over. He wore white clothing, a silver hat, and a feather fan in his left hand. He had a smile on his face as he spoke.
This caused Li Shaoqing to have a good impression of him.
However, even so, Li Shaoqing still did not let down his guard. He said in a lukewarm tone, ”What do you want?”
”Fellow Daoist, your concealing skills are really good. You've given birth to a strong expert of the Spiritual Energy Realm, yet you've hidden your cultivation so well that even my bodyguards could not discover it. If we didn't see you moving around in the inner circle, we wouldn't have known about such an expert.”
”Then I should say that I'm still at the Spiritual Awareness Realm.” A trace of amusement appeared in Li Shaoqing's eyes, while his face also revealed a trace of a smile.
”Haha, you must be joking. You're just walking here without a cultivation of the Spiritual Energy Stage. Furthermore, my bodyguards have already discovered your Spiritual Sense.” The young master's eyes revealed a hint of gloom, but he hid it well. He quickly revealed a smile and said, ”Fellow Daoist, are you looking down on us?”
Since he didn't believe it, Li Shaoqing couldn't be bothered to explain. After all, with his own strength, he could fight against someone at the Spiritual Energy Realm who was weaker than him.
However, he didn't say anything else. Li Shaoqing was about to leave.
”Hold on, at the edge of the inner circle, although you are not too ostentatious, but you are also very cautious, and the probability of death is not too high. Even so, you are at most a first or second level spirit beast. It is very difficult to kill a demon beast here. Sometimes, if the target is wrong, the hunter and the prey will switch to another direction. ”Therefore, I hope that you can join my team. The bodyguards here are all in the Spiritual Qi Realm, and there's still a fourth heaven senior. I hope you can reconsider.” The young master's face revealed a sense of admiration and recruitment, ”With your cultivation level at the spirit realm, you're also extremely talented. As long as you follow me, sooner or later, you'll be able to eat good food.”
”No.” Li Shaoqing was slightly disgusted by his tone, ”I like freedom.”
The smile on the young master's face disappeared, as if he had stepped in dog shit.
”I'll give you two choices. If you join us, you'll die.” The young master harrumphed coldly.
Li Shaoqing was about to resist when an old man said angrily, ”Yang Meng, don't go overboard. ”We are all cultivators, and little brother's strength and talent are not weak either. We are both cultivators on the path of martial arts, don't go too far.”
”Hmph, you old fogey won't die.” ”Scram for me.” He didn't even have the slightest thought of respecting his elders and cherishing his children.
When Li Shaoqing heard this, his brows tightened. Why was there such a huge contrast in a person's actions in an instant?
Shaoqing didn't say anything else as he pondered over the pros and cons.
