Now was the time to reap the fruits of victory. Lin Xun took a deep look at Li Li's back as he gradually left. His eyes were filled with sympathy as he turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
As the distance was not far, it did not take long for them to reach this place. After all, time was short, and even though this was the outer region of the Cross Mountains, it had not been discovered by outsiders. Lin Xun immediately began to search carefully.
First, he put away the three iron swords on the ground. Then, under Lin Xun's expectant gaze, they slowly disappeared in front of the small sword box. Although the small sword box did not change much, it only continued to increase the black color a little, but Lin Xun's face was full of confidence.
The only pity was that the sword case did not devour the saber. This made Lin Xun feel quite regretful, so he could only give up.
As of now, these small fries were already worthless. After all, they were weak. Even if they received the reward of the Body Tempering Pill, they would either consume it as quickly as possible or sell it. A weapon was their greatest asset. They had no other treasures at all.
Lin Xun immediately walked towards Lu Jian's corpse. As a leader, his value was definitely far beyond ordinary people.
The final result made Lin Xun quite surprised. Although the other party only had one bottle of pills, it contained a total of 12 Body Tempering Pills. This also meant that it was equivalent to four months of Lin Xun's supply. It was really not a small number.
After confirming that there was no more value, Lin Xun immediately turned around and left. After all, this was the outskirts of the Cross Mountains, and people often passed by. Furthermore, Lin Xun was already at the end of his rope. Although he could still walk, he could not withstand a battle.
Most of the people who could come here only cared about benefits. Even if the disciples of the other two families came, they wouldn't mind taking his head to increase their gains. Therefore, it was not good to stay here for long.
It just so happened that the place just now was deserted, and it could prevent Li Li from escaping. It was a good place to go. Immediately, Lin Xun dragged his weak body forward slowly. As for the corpses on the ground, there were many wild beasts in the Cross Mountains. They would deal with them when the time came.
Not long after, Lin Xun arrived at the place. He carefully checked his surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, he slowly sat down. Although he had no strength in his body, this was a good time to cultivate.
Because he was exhausted, not only could he recover by cultivating, but he could also perfectly fuse the power he had obtained from cultivating. Lin Xun immediately took out a Body Tempering Pill.
"It's true that a man can't get rich without a windfall, and a horse can't get fat without grass at night.”
Lin Xun sighed again and immediately consumed the pill. As the medicinal effect erupted, his strength slowly recovered.
About an hour later, Lin Xun's eyes suddenly opened, and a bright light flashed in them. He was sure that he was much stronger than before. He could feel the vigorous power in his body, and this made Lin Xun's serious face reveal a smile.
Although the two battles today were filled with danger and he might even die if he was not careful, he had gained quite a lot. In the first battle with the Multicolored Snake, he had obtained the precious natural treasure Vermilion Fruit. As for the second battle, he had obtained so many Body Tempering Pills.
Moreover, even if he did not talk about these external objects, the two battles had allowed him to completely control the strength of his body. Every move contained 100% of his strength, and there was no waste. Moreover, his foundation was solid, which also laid the foundation for his subsequent advancement.
He had gained a lot of experience in the battle, including experience in fighting enemies, control of human nature, and even a deeper understanding of sword techniques. At the same time, he felt that he was lacking. The moves in his hands were still a little lacking. Most importantly, Lin Xun felt that he lacked a footwork secret manual.
If he had the footwork, he wouldn't have been so passive today. If he wanted to catch up, he wouldn't have to spend so much time. Unfortunately, Lin Xun had no way to obtain the footwork.
The Lin family's cultivation technique hall might have it, but Lin Xun did not see it on the first level. Even if there was, he did not have the qualifications to enter and take a look. As for those itinerant cultivators, it was already quite good for them to have an incomplete secret manual. How could they casually choose it?
Lin Xun could not help but let out a long sigh. The future was still very long. Lin Xun firmly believed that he would obtain these things.
Feeling that he had completely recovered, Lin Xun looked into the depths of the forest. Although he was certain that Li Li would definitely die, it was better to see it with his own eyes. Lin Xun did not want to meet Li Li in the future. If he was unlucky, he would die.
Immediately, he waved the wooden sword in his hand and felt his own strength. He walked into the depths of the forest alone with his sword. In this environment, even he could not help but be cautious.
To be honest, even Lin Xun himself was puzzled. How did he enter for the first time? He didn't encounter any danger along the way. It was as if he had passed by naturally. Instead, he encountered a Multicolored Snake halfway and then a Five-Colored Spider on his way back.
Because they were prepared, they could see some differences along the way. For example, some trees were already covered with these poisonous creatures, but the other party did not have any intention of attacking, as if they wanted to let you in.
This made Lin Xun shiver involuntarily. Were all the poisonous creatures nowadays so smart? This was completely a trap. First, the prey would feel that there was no danger in entering, and then they would surround them. This way, the prey in the center would become a turtle in a jar. It would not be able to escape even if it wanted to. Thinking of this, Lin Xun could not help but feel his scalp go numb.
Immediately, for his own safety, he walked over and cleared the path along the way. Even though the Multicolored Snakes and Five-Colored Spiders were poisonous, their defense was really low. Basically, all of them were killed with a single slash.
Unknowingly, Lin Xun had already arrived at the location where he was collecting the Vermilion Fruit. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile because there was a figure lying on the ground not far away. Judging from his clothes, it was very obvious that it was Li Li, who had already escaped.
Just as Lin Xun had guessed, even if the other party was an experienced hunter, under the siege of the Multicolored Snake, he had no ability to counterattack at all. After all, he was good at long-range attacks, not group attacks.
He slowly walked over and saw Li Li with his eyes closed and his face black. It was obvious that he had been poisoned. Even if he had the antidote, he would have no chance of survival.
This made Lin Xun sigh. The path of a cultivator was indeed filled with countless dangers and hardships. If one did not cross one path, it meant death. This was not a game. Once one died, there would be no more opportunities.
After confirming that the other party was dead, Lin Xun's goal had been achieved. He even wanted to turn around and leave. However, he suddenly saw that the other party's chest was faintly bulging, as if there was something else.
This piqued Lin Xun's interest, but when he looked at the other party's dark face, he still felt a lingering fear. Lin Xun was not afraid of demonic beasts like the Multicolored Snake and the Five-Colored Spider, but their poison was something that even a Mortal Realm expert would avoid.
He carefully stretched out his wooden sword. After ten years of polishing, the wooden sword was no worse than an ordinary refined iron sword. The layer of clothes was cut open like tofu, revealing the true appearance inside.
It wasn't a highly toxic object as Lin Xun had imagined. Instead, it was wrapped in a brown animal skin, as if something was hidden within.
This scene made Lin Xun smile. It seemed that he had another income today. Although he was a little excited, he did not act rashly. In the forest surrounded by poison, he had to maintain absolute calm.
The wooden sword slowly moved, and when he found that there were no poisonous creatures, Lin Xun let out a sigh of relief. He slowly picked up the beast skin and opened it without hesitation. Immediately, a pleasantly surprised smile appeared on his face.
He had never been so happy even when he had broken through to Body Tempering Stage Four. There was a small bottle wrapped in the beast skin, which contained the Body Tempering Pills. However, this bottle did not have as many as Lu Jian's bottle. There were only three pills. It was better than nothing.
What made Lin Xun ecstatic was another reward. This was a book-shaped item, especially with the words "Floating Light and Shadow" written on the cover.
Obviously, this was the legendary movement technique manual.
