Chapter 9: Entering Ironwood Mountain
The Ironwood Mountain was located in the State of the Water Cloud Country. It was one of the most dangerous places. Ordinary people did not even dare to approach the foot of the mountain. Otherwise, they would be attacked by wild beasts.

However, for cultivators, this was a treasure house. This mountain range was boundless, with an altitude of several thousand meters. Moreover, there were a few small subsidiary mountain ranges nearby.

This mountain was perpetually green all year round, and it was commonly known as the Divine Mountain.

The Divine Mountain was filled with wild beasts. It was said that the strongest wild beast was at the ninth rank of the mystic stage. Cultivators mostly traveled in groups, and only experts dared to travel alone.

Chu Qianye’s eyes turned sharp as he gazed at the spreading forest.

In such a dangerous place, he did not dare to play around with his life. Thus, upon arriving at Ironwood Mountain, he had put forth a hundred and twenty percent of his attention.

As he stepped on the fallen leaves, Chu Qianye’s perception slowly spread to a radius of fifty kilometers.

He walked less than 100 meters forward, and the woods around him became lush.

The more dangerous it was, the more likely it was that the wild beasts would be hiding in the depths of the woods, waiting for their prey.

When he still wanted to go forward, his sharp perception alerted him to the danger, and he almost subconsciously rolled on the ground.

Boom!

The place where he had been standing was directly attacked, and the tall old tree was broken in half.

Chu Qianye raised his head in bewilderment and immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.

A small, golden-colored beast in the shape of a little pig with tusks stared at him with ferocious eyes.

Goldsplitter Pig, Second Order Yellow Realm!

This savage beast was unusually savage and aggressive to the point that even a third level Yellow Realm cultivator wouldn’t dare go head on against it.

Chu Qianye looked serious.

With his current strength, it was hard to say if he would truly be able to fight the Goldsplitter Pig. After all, his cultivation level was only at the second tier of the Yellow Realm.

“Roar!”

Seeing that Chu Qianye wasn’t afraid at all, the pig immediately let out a couple of threatening growls and stared at him with an ominous glint in its eyes. It seemed like it would pounce on him at any moment.

He did not dare to neglect it and quickly activated his Mystic Qi.

The pig could no longer hold back. With a furious roar, it pounced toward Qianye with extraordinary speed.

Chu Qianye stepped lightly and stepped back lightly. The Mystic Qi in his body was flowing rapidly in his body.

"Bastard, get lost!"

With that, Chu Qianye threw a punch forward.

The Dragon Elephant Fist was like roaring thunder as it transformed into a shadow that fiercely collided with the Goldsplitter Pig.

“Bang!”

The Goldsplitter Pig Pig was sent flying by his punch, and a huge fist print appeared on its body.

The Goldsplitter Pig crashed heavily onto the ground and howled in rage.

It shook its head, revealing a cruel expression as it stared fixedly at Qianye.

In the face of the defense of the Goldsplitter Pig, he couldn't help but frown.

The Dragon Elephant Fist he executed just now contained the strength of two cauldrons, yet it actually injured this beast to such an extent that it was infuriated instead.

"This beast has thick skin and flesh. If I were to clash head on with him, I am afraid that I would not be able to gain any advantage."

With that in mind, Chu Qianye began to change his strategy.

Calmness and stillness were needed to deal with myriad changes.

Chu Qianye was handsome and elegant. His white robes fluttered in the wind, and the only thing in his eyes was the Goldsplitter Pig.

Indeed, the Goldsplitter Pig still couldn’t endure it any longer. After two angry roars, it once again chose to attack.

Chu Qianye’s punch was as clean as ever and landed squarely on the body of the Goldsplitter Pig.

Roar!

The Goldsplitter Pig was enraged. This tiny human in front of it had actually sent it flying several times. Even though his strength was clearly inferior to its own, he was still able to accurately attack it every single time.

Accompanied by an angry roar, a golden glow flickered on its body, and its voice was like a thunderclap that shook the forest. The nearby weaker savage beasts anxiously let out a low roar in response.

Chu Qianye’s eyes gradually narrowed.

This beast was finally going to get serious...

Chu Qianye didn’t move. Instead, his dark pupils flickered with a sharp light.

The Goldsplitter Pig's entire body was shimmering with golden light, and it was covered in tiger patterns, giving it an extremely ferocious appearance.

After discovering that Chu Qianye wasn’t weak, the Goldsplitter Pig was finally enraged.

They were savage beasts that roamed freely in the forest, so how could they allow a little human to hop around in front of them?

A black shadow rushed over.

Chu Qianye’s foot stomped on the ground without the slightest hesitation or cowardice.

“Yellow Spring Finger!”

Just as they were about to collide, Chu Qianye let out a long whistle as the Mystic Qi in his qi pool surged out and swiftly flowed through his muscles and veins. Meanwhile, the three fingers on his right palm were folded together, leaving only his index and middle fingers.

Om!

Enormous amounts of Mystic Qi rushed out of Chu Qianye’s right arm as waves of azure light suddenly exploded from his index and middle fingers...

The Goldsplitter Pig seemed to have sensed a great crisis and desperately tried to escape.

However, Chu Qianye had been accumulating power for a long time, so he naturally couldn’t let it escape.

“Bastard, prepare to die!”

His fingers glowed brightly with a green light!

Puchi.

Two fingers poked between the pig’s eyebrows. Blood spurted out from its weakest point. It struggled for a moment before dying with an unwilling roar.

The Yellow Spring Finger did live up to its reputation!

Chu Qianye was exceptionally shocked.

He’d never imagined that this was the renowned martial technique of the Demon Saint of Yellow Springs after all, and it was only a step away from the final ethereal realm of Martial Gods.

Countless peak experts had died under the Yellow Springs Finger.

Chu Qianye produced a dagger, cut off a few pieces of spirit meat from the Goldsplitter Pig’s body, and placed it into his personal bag.

Spirit meat was the refined meat refined by Mystic Qi. When a warrior ate it, it could improve his cultivation and temper his body.

Looking at the bag full of spirit meat, Chu Qianye shook his head with a wry smile.

The children of high officials and wealthy families used Universe Rings or Sleeves. These divine weapons had a huge space that could store mountains and rivers. Most importantly, they were easy to carry.

However, because the materials for the Universe Ring were precious, only artificers were capable of crafting it. Thus, it was simply priceless.

With his present wealth, not to mention buying Universe Ring, even buying a Blood Pill was difficult.

Chu Qianye dug out the Goldsplitter Pig’s core and put it in his bag.

The value of a second level Yellow Realm Barbaric Beast core wasn’t low. If he sold it in the martial market, he would be able to earn at least two to three thousand gold coins.

Gold coins were currency used in the Mystic Qi land, applied to the four major realms, dynasties and counties. In addition, in addition, there were silver coins and copper coins. The value of the three was 1:10, which meant that one gold coin was 10 silver coins and 100 copper coins.

Two to three thousand gold coins was not enough to purchase two Blood Pills. Hence, being an alchemist was a career that reaped a huge profit. However, due to the harsh conditions, most people could only lament the situation.

Chu Qianye continued deeper into the Ironwood Ridge after tidying up.

...

A few days later, Chu Qianye appeared by the riverside. The aura on his body grew stronger and stronger, and there were faint signs of him stepping into the third rank of the Yellow Realm.

During this period of time, he had fought savage beasts in the day and made use of Eternal Divine Technique at night to seize fortune from the heavens and the earth, swallow the spirits of all things, and stabilize his cultivation in the Ironwood Ridge.

The spirit flesh was completely absorbed by him, and he obtained a second grade Yellow Realm Core and four first level Yellow Realm Cores.

“With my current physical body, I don’t need to borrow the enormous strength of two cauldrons with the help of the Yellow Spring Finger.” Chu Qianye quietly thought in his heart.

It was time to go back and sell these savage beast cores to the martial market. He could exchange them for some Blood Pills and Universe Ring and get the spiritual herbs from the Sword Marquis Estate.

With a tap of his feet, Chu Qianye swiftly flew toward the county city. The first thing he did was buy medicinal pills and Universe Ring from the martial market. These two were both necessities.

"Now that I have a Universe Ring, it will be more convenient in the future," Chu Qianye said with a faint smile as he toyed with the Universe Ring on his finger.

This Universe Ring of his belonged to the lowest grade, but it was much more convenient than storing the core of the Barbaric Beast in a bag.

Although it was the lowest grade, he spent most of his gold coins on it. He only shook his head with a bitter smile after some time. This Universe Ring could be considered an investment. In the future, he could buy even better Universe Rings.

“It’s time to return to the Sword Marquis Estate,” Chu Qianye said. He then flew toward the Sword Marquis Estate.
