The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Chapter 158 Endless Sea Harvest

"No wonder so many cultivators are willing to come to the Endless Sea to hunt sea monsters."

"Just killing one will earn me 10,000 spirit stones."

"Of course, maybe my Cone God Thorn and magic weapon are too powerful, so I think hunting monsters is easy..."

"In the ordinary foundation-building period, I am afraid that I need to use the array plate, or two-to-one, to kill the sea monster, and prevent the sea monster from escaping."

"The deep sea is so vast that once the sea monster escapes into the deep sea, there will be no trace."

Killing this second-level monster, Cao Rui's consumption is not large.

So, Cao Rui continued to hunt in the Endless Sea.

Flying in the sky above the Endless Sea, Cao Rui's consciousness soon locked onto another second-level monster-the blue-scaled sea lizard!

.Cao Rui chased after it with his sword.

After a slight hesitation, the blue-scaled sea lizard actually ran away directly.

Cao Rui flew into the seabed with his sword. Although the speed was slightly reduced by the seawater, Cao Rui's sword speed still exceeded that of the blue-scaled sea lizard.

After diving more than a hundred meters, Cao Rui caught up with the blue-scaled sea lizard and used a cone-like divine power without hesitation. The blue-scaled sea lizard was stunned in place. The golden sword at Cao Rui's side followed closely and pierced into the blue-scaled sea lizard's mind with a series of bubbles in the sea...

...

Three days later.

On an inconspicuous island reef, Cao Rui rested slightly to recover his magic power.

In the past three days, Cao Rui killed five sea monsters in one breath.

Cao Rui was extremely cautious and did not choose a third-level monster. He only killed second-level monsters.

Including the coral spirit snake before, Cao Rui received a total of six second-level monster pills and the flesh and blood of six second-level monsters.

In total, he earned more than 60,000 spirit stones.

"Hmm? It's like this again."

Cao Rui frowned slightly.

In a dangerous place like the Endless Sea, Cao Rui's spiritual sense is always on alert.

Since yesterday, Cao Rui has found that there are always second-level monsters flashing at the edge of his spiritual sense within the sensing range, and disappearing immediately after being locked by his spiritual sense.

"I killed too much. Other foundation-building cultivators would return to land to rest after hunting a monster."

"But I hunted six monsters in one breath, and I didn't get hurt at all."

In the depths of the Endless Sea, there are terrifying monsters with wisdom comparable to human cultivators, similar to the Beast Ancestor.

"I may be targeted by the monster masters in this area."

Cao Rui figured out the connection, so he didn't dare to neglect it. After recovering some of his mana, he quickly flew his sword towards the direction of the Ten Thousand Islands, ready to rest for a while.

Cao Rui didn't go very deep into the Endless Sea, so the return trip was smooth.

As we entered the Wandao area, the sea water gradually became shallower, and the seabed was clearly visible. The high-level monsters in Cao Rui's spiritual sense began to disappear gradually.

Some low-level monsters replaced them.

These low-level monsters are often weaker and cannot compete with high-level monsters. They can only move in the offshore area. In the sea, low-level monsters will also become food for high-level monsters. They need to find safer habitats and food sources.

Therefore, low-level monsters will appear in the offshore area, which is relatively safe.

This area is also the range for some Qi Refining monks to hunt monsters. They usually form teams to fight against low-level monsters and obtain precious items such as materials and inner elixirs on them.

In this sea area, you can see that there are many Qi Refining monks hunting monsters in groups. Cao Rui used his spiritual sense to slightly scan these Qi Refining monks.

Looking at these Qi Refining monks who are fighting with monsters in front of him, Cao Rui can't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

The spells and magic weapons in their hands had very limited effects on the sea monsters, because the monsters were too tough, and with the protection of demonic power, they could easily resist their attacks.

In this vast sea, the monsters were like fish in water. Once they found a gap, they could easily escape.

It was really difficult for these Qi Refining cultivators to hunt monsters of the same level.

They must first carefully arrange the formation to trap the monsters to prevent them from escaping.

Then, they slowly attacked and consumed its physical strength with various methods, and finally killed it.

This method was extremely inefficient, and compared with Cao Rui's speed of hunting monsters, it was a world of difference.

Moreover, the monsters occasionally hit them with a counterattack, which could easily cause fatal damage.

Cao Rui shook his head and silently prayed for these little guys.

Then, he drove the flying sword and quickly flew through the air to the East China Sea Xiuxian Market.

Not long after, Cao Rui landed in the East China Sea Xiuxian Market.

Cao Rui was already very familiar with the East Sea Xiuxian Market.

The Yun family, the owner of this market, was also very familiar with Cao Rui.

Cao Rui went straight into the Yun family's attic in the market.

In the attic, a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator named Yun Tiankong from the Yun family was waiting early.

"Senior Cao is visiting the market, but what do you need from the mine?!" Yun Tiankong greeted Cao Rui as he descended from the sky and asked respectfully.

Cao Rui glanced at Yun Tiankong: "Your ancestor hasn't come out of retreat yet?" Cao Rui was naturally asking about Yun Changsheng.

Yun Tiankong nodded: "The ancestor is at the seventh level of the foundation building, and will not come out easily. Could it be that Senior Cao came to the market to find my ancestor?"

Yun Tiankong intentionally or unintentionally revealed the fact that Yun Changsheng was about to be promoted to the late stage of the foundation building.

Cao Rui nodded slightly: "I'm not looking for Yun Changsheng, it's okay for you to do this for me."

"Take a look, how much are these things worth." Cao Rui took out a few storage bags and handed them to Yun Tiankong.

Yun Tiankong took the storage bags and was more and more shocked!

The six storage bags contained the flesh and blood of six monsters!

Judging from its aura, it is definitely a second-level monster!

This senior Cao from the southwest of Yunzhou, how powerful is he? He hunted down six second-level monsters without making a sound!

Yun Tiankong is the person in charge of the market and quickly came to his senses.

"Senior Cao, these are all top-quality second-level monster flesh and blood. I estimated the amount and am willing to buy them for you with 20,000 spirit stones. Is that okay?"

"However, the market does not have so many spirit stones at the moment. We need to wait until all the flesh and blood are sold before we can pay you..."

After hearing this, Cao Rui shook his head and said, "I'll give you 20,000 spirit stones."

"You don't have to pay me."

"I have to pay you 30,000 spirit stones in a few months. I'll give you 10,000 spirit stones. I'll pay you this amount in advance."

Cao Rui handed over another storage bag to Yun Tiankong.

"Please inform your ancestor that I have signed a Dao Heart Oath with him."

Yun Tiankong took the storage bag and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately went to inform the ancestor.

Until he felt the contracted spirit insect in his brain move slightly, Cao Rui knew that the contract of 30,000 spirit stones was completed.
