13: The Beast Tide

“Revered Master, there’s a Spiritual Plant here.”

Ji Yue'er, like a spirit from the mountains, left a wisp of fragrance by Li Luo’s side, her figure already appearing in the distance.

She excitedly handed a magnificent Spiritual Plant, shimmering with starlight, to Li Luo.

From running, Ji Yue'er had a hint of sweet sweat on her, and her pretty little face was flushed, as she appeared before Li Luo.

Especially after breaking through to the Innate Realm, who would have thought this little girl would develop further?

Up close, he could even smell her faint body fragrance, which made Li Luo’s heart race.

“This girl is truly becoming more and more enchanting.”

Li Luo quickly suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind.

“A third-rank Star Grass is an excellent Material for refining third-rank Spirit Pills.”

Li Luo shifted his gaze to the Star Grass, a slight smile on his lips, and said happily.

Upon hearing this,

Ji Yue'er wrinkled her delicate nose slightly, muttering in her heart, “Hmph, stinky Revered Master, don’t you know how to look at me properly?”

“Aren’t I your little darling?”

“Bah, bah, bah, Ji Yue'er, what are you thinking? He’s your Revered Master!”

Ji Yue'er’s pretty face flushed, and she spat.

“Hmm, something’s not right…”

Suddenly, Li Luo murmured softly.

Hearing this, Ji Yue'er’s eyes sparkled, and she lifted her head, puffing out her budding chest, full of anticipation.

“Did you notice?”

By now, Ji Yue'er had also realized that as she continuously broke through, her figure was becoming increasingly better.

“Yue'er, logically speaking, there should be Vicious Beasts guarding these Heaven And Earth Treasures, but it seems we’ve been too lucky all this way.”

Li Luo said with a hint of confusion.

They had already crossed Blackwind Ridge and entered the Black Abyss Mountain Range.

Logically, there should be Vicious Beasts inhabiting the areas around these Heaven And Earth Treasures.

She sighed slightly, feeling a little disappointed in her heart.

However, Ji Yue'er quickly adjusted her state, placing her fair, jade-like hand above her brow, in a posture of looking out.

“Yes, it’s strange, Revered Master, it seems too quiet all the way…”

“Rumble.”

Just as Ji Yue'er’s voice fell.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble.

Li Luo raised his gaze, and then suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Because, from the direction of the commotion, he actually saw an astonishing phenomenon.

Unlike Heaven And Earth Treasures, that should be a kind of Opportunity Qi, and it was extremely astonishing.

“Yue'er, let’s go, let’s quickly go and see.”

Li Luo said excitedly.

After speaking, the two quickly rushed towards the source of the commotion.

“Hiss.”

When Li Luo and Ji Yue'er crossed a mountain ridge, they saw a massive jade tablet standing and emerging from the Black Abyss below.

Of course, this was not what surprised them the most.

Instead, in front of that jade tablet, countless Vicious Beasts were gathered, and at this moment, they were frantically surging towards the jade tablet.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

At the same time, many Cultivators were also swarming towards the jade tablet like locusts.

This led to an unavoidable clash between Human Race Cultivators and Vicious Beasts.

“Kill these evil creatures! The Treasure Art on this jade tablet will be ours!”

Suddenly,

an old man with white hair and a youthful face roared.

His aura was vast, and he subtly had the demeanor of a leader.

“Pfft.”

As his long sword danced, Vicious Beasts were torn apart by Sword Qi.

“Charge! This is a Treasure Art! If we can cultivate it, its power is boundless!”

Some Cultivators went mad.

They fought frantically with the continuously surging horde of Vicious Beasts.

Li Luo looked up at the jade tablet.

Vaguely, he could feel traces of sharp Qi, and with the Qi Observation Technique, he saw that Qi soaring into the sky.

“Revered Master, what is a Treasure Art?”

Amidst her shock, Ji Yue'er didn't expect these Cultivators below to be so frantic for some Treasure Art.

Li Luo’s eyes also flashed with a fervent light.

He said, “A so-called Treasure Art is basically an Innate rune etched onto the bones of powerful Vicious Beasts after they die.”

“If these Innate runes are acquired by a Cultivator, they can be transformed and etched onto their own bones, thereby gaining the attack methods of those powerful Vicious Beasts!”

“Especially some powerful Treasure Arts, their might is astonishing. Moving mountains and seas, flying into the sky, and escaping into the earth are all within their grasp.”

Li Luo explained.

“Ah, that powerful.”

Hearing Li Luo’s explanation, Ji Yue'er’s cherry-like mouth gaped wide, and she was also moved.

“Revered Master, let’s go snatch it.”

Ji Yue'er pulled Li Luo down the slope.

Li Luo didn't resist.

After all, he found that although he had the Qi Observation Technique, from here he could only observe Luck and couldn't truly see the Treasure Art.

To obtain it, he probably really needed to get closer.

“Chh.”

A sturdy young man chopped down a Vicious Beast with a single strike of his saber and looked up.

“Holy cow, what a stunning woman.”

At this moment, his eyes happened to catch sight of Ji Yue'er running down the hillside.

Immediately, his gaze became fixated.

He instantly felt that his Sect’s Junior Sisters and Senior Sisters were no longer appealing.

This girl in front of him was truly a top-grade beauty.

He pushed off with his feet and immediately ran towards Ji Yue'er.

“Fairy, Fairy, going to that jade tablet is truly dangerous. How about we go together? You just need to hide behind me, and I, Niu Er, will clear the way.”

A simp?

Li Luo, who was behind Ji Yue'er, was speechless.

This girl’s charm was truly too great.

“Hm?”

Only when he got closer did Niu Er discover Li Luo behind Ji Yue'er, and Li Luo’s handsome and elegant appearance made him intensely jealous.

He secretly cursed in his heart, could it be that a good cabbage had been spoiled?

Li Luo naturally sensed Niu Er’s hostility. Immediately, as Ji Yue'er was about to refuse, he spoke first.

“Sister, what he said makes sense. Let’s go through it together.”

Li Luo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Niu Er immediately beamed with joy.

This was a brother-in-law.

“Haha, this brother is right, there’s strength in numbers. Moreover, I, Niu Er, am an Inner Sect Disciple of the Dao-Sword Sect, and my strength is quite good.”

“Boom.”

As he spoke, the Innate First Realm aura emanated from Niu Er’s sturdy body.

Ji Yue'er’s Fairy-like beautiful eyes glanced at Li Luo. She really didn’t understand why Revered Master would agree to this guy.

“Okay, big brother.”

However, Ji Yue'er naturally supported Li Luo’s decision unconditionally.

Hearing this, Niu Er was so excited he almost danced with joy.

He discovered that this beautiful and enchanting girl seemed to obey her 'big brother' implicitly.

“Haoran Sect, Li Luo.”

“Haoran Sect, Ji Yue'er.”

Li Luo and Ji Yue'er cupped their hands.

Haoran Sect?

Niu Er’s eyes held some confusion. Was there such a Sect?

Also, something still seemed off?

But he stopped thinking about it since he couldn't figure it out, and gave a hearty laugh.

Feeling Li Luo’s Body Tempering Fifth Realm aura, and Ji Yue'er’s Body Tempering Eighth Realm aura, he thumped his chest, indicating he would protect their safety.

“Pfft.”

Led by Niu Er, a small team of three advanced towards the jade tablet.

Although only at the Innate First Realm, Niu Er’s strength was indeed good.

However, after chopping down a few first-rank Peak Vicious Beasts, his arm also started to tremble slightly.

This made Ji Yue'er find it amusing, and she rolled her beautiful eyes at Li Luo.

Li Luo, however, was looking into the distance.

At the very front.

“Awooo!”

A wolf howl came, and the white-haired, youthful-faced old man, holding a long sword, was already fighting a third-rank Wolf King.

Everyone knew that the outcome of that battle would determine whether their Human Race Cultivators could obtain the Treasure Art Legacy on this jade tablet.
