Hu Xianfeng squinted, a slight smile playing on the corners of his mouth. However, anyone could see a hint of maliciousness lurking within that smile.
He leaned towards Wang Zhan and whispered, "You know, you're right. You've reminded
of a thod that could better refine your skills; it's just a bit tricky."
"If you have the guts to give it a try, then I will hand it over to you. But if you're just all talk, then forget I said anything. After all, I don't want to waste any more ti."
These words were clearly ant to provoke Wang Zhan.
After all, when had the word 'fear' ever appeared in Wang Zhan's dictionary?
Wang Zhan quickly replied, "Just tell
directly. What thod can increase the success rate of refining elixirs? Even if it ans walking through fire and water, I'll do it, as long as I can complete the elixir refinent, that's enough."
Hu Xianfeng imdiately smiled with satisfaction. "It's simple, really. As long as you can acquire five demon cores from level 9 beasts, I have a way to increase the success rate of your elixir refinent. And no, I'm not joking. The demon cores of demonic beasts are extrely hard and are a major component in elixir preparation. The elixirs you've just started making are all entry-level and don't require many demon cores to augnt them. However, when you start refining higher-level elixirs in the future, the importance of these demon cores will beco apparent."
Wang Zhan instantly understood. He smiled and hurriedly said, "I get what you an. So, with the aid of those demon cores, the success rate of refining elixirs will gradually increase?"
Hu Xianfeng, at his side, nodded and added with a smile, "Exactly, that's the idea."
Wang Zhan's expression changed, and then he said with a smile, "In that case, let's go find those level 9 beasts right now."
Hearing this, Han Junxiong's eyes widened. He quickly walked over to Wang Zhan and asked, "You're not joking, are you? Level 9 beasts are not easy to deal with, and you need five of them! That's completely wishful thinking."
Actually, Wang Zhan was well aware that even if he encountered a single level 9 beast, he would have to fight with his back against the wall. Therefore, obtaining more demon cores from level 9 beasts would naturally require more ti. During this period, he would also need to continuously improve his cultivation or, rather, constantly recover his energy. Only by doing so could he maintain his peak state at all tis. After all, Han Junxiong was with him. If they fell into a difficult situation, he first had to find ways to ensure his own safety; he couldn't possibly lead Han Junxiong deep into danger.
"Alright then," Hu Xianfeng said. "I know dealing with those demonic beasts isn't easy for you, and I can guess what you're really up to, but I can't be bothered to waste any more ti with you."
As he spoke, Hu Xianfeng reached into his clothes, pulled out several elixirs from a pocket, and tossed them directly to Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan grinned. Indeed, Hu Xianfeng understood him quite well.
Nearby, Han Junxiong watched this scene, longing in his eyes. After all, even if he wanted those elixirs, he couldn't bring himself to ask. His own limited strength was all too clear, and these items were extrely precious; how could they possibly be wasted on him?
But what Han Junxiong never expected was that Wang Zhan suddenly took out an elixir, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "You take this elixir for now. When things get truly desperate, take the elixir first and leave quickly. After all, if even I am no match for the opponent, your staying on the battlefield would only result in the pointless sacrifice of your life. So, it's best we avoid that kind of situation."
Hearing this, Han Junxiong's face was filled with shock. He glanced at Wang Zhan gratefully but did not take the elixir.
After all, he knew very well how important and extrely rare this elixir was. Therefore, he naturally felt that all these things should be left for Wang Zhan. Only then could both of them reach their optimal state and minimize sacrifices.
Wang Zhan was about to insist, but seeing Han Junxiong's resolute attitude, he didn't say anything more. After all, once he was able to refine elixirs himself in the future, there would be no need for such fuss; he could then simply give Han Junxiong whatever he possessed.
"I say, are you two done yet?" Hu Xianfeng said impatiently. "I'm planning to go to sleep. If you're leaving, then hurry up and go. Don't waste any more ti here."
Wang Zhan quickly smiled and said, "Alright, alright. You've at least given us a clear path to follow, so we won't delay you any longer. If you want to sleep, go ahead. If anything cos up, find a way to contact us. Rest assured, even if you don't contact us, we'll be back shortly. After all, I'll soon get my hands on those so-called demon cores from the demonic beasts."
After saying these confident words, Wang Zhan then led Han Junxiong towards the door.
Hu Xianfeng watched their retreating figures and shook his head helplessly.
He had to admit he had grown accustod to the company of these two juniors. This kind of life was actually quite interesting; although usually rather dull, it had its rits. Having people chattering nearby seed to add so color to his existence. If only the two of them could improve their strength, that would be even better. It would save him the constant worry of having to protect them.
After watching them for a good while, Hu Xianfeng shook his head and walked back into his room. This ti, he naturally didn't need to keep watch over Wang Zhan. After all, he had already given all the elixirs in his possession to Wang Zhan. So, even if Wang Zhan encountered so very difficult problems or so powerful demonic beasts, it wouldn't be hard for him to escape. Therefore, there was no need to worry about anything now; he just needed to stay ho quietly and recuperate.
「Soon, ti ticked by.」
Hu Xianfeng had already returned to his room. anwhile, Wang Zhan and Han Junxiong had recomnced their journey.
Since the nearby forests had all been destroyed, as far as the eye could see, not a single demonic beast was in sight, not even an ordinary one, let alone those of higher levels.
However, Wang Zhan was not very familiar with the terrain here. He imdiately looked at Han Junxiong beside him. After all, Han Junxiong's forr identity was a Bounty Hunter, and so-called Bounty Hunters lived a life of constant danger, dealing with demonic beasts daily. So, he naturally knew where in this vicinity one could encounter those higher-level demonic beasts.
With this in mind, Wang Zhan walked over to Han Junxiong and then continued to ask, "Give
so advice. Where should we go to encounter those formidable demonic beasts?"
Han Junxiong was montarily stunned. He looked at Wang Zhan in surprise and asked, "You're not really planning to go look for those formidable demonic beasts, are you?"
"After all, with our strength, finding those demonic beasts is simple enough, but dealing with them is not such an easy matter. And now that Hu Lao isn't with us, if we fall into danger, our situation will beco extrely difficult. I actually have a better idea that would allow us to get what we want without even having to fight."
Is there really such a good thing in this world?
Wang Zhan's eyes widened. He asked with a smile, "Well, do tell. What's the plan?"
Han Junxiong explained, "It's actually very simple. We just need to go to Kui City, find so trading posts, and get those higher-level demon cores from the traders there. However, these demon cores are treated as treasures by them, so getting these things from their hands won't be an easy task. These fellows are all about equivalent exchange. Of course, I'm quite curious if you have anything on you that can be exchanged for these demon cores."
Hearing this, Wang Zhan was stunned. He had only a set of armor and one weapon on him. Whether it was the Deep Fire Blade or the Fire Deity Armor he wore, both were top-tier equipnt. How could he possibly hand them over to soone else so easily? And exchanging other things for high-level demon cores was not as easy as it seed. Moreover, the demon cores of a level 9 beast were extrely important items. Not only could they be used to refine elixirs, but they could also continuously enhance the level of his equipnt and weapons. Who would willingly trade such things away? Even if such items were available at the trading posts, they would surely be for exchanging even better goods. Everyone was just looking to get what they needed, so things were hardly that simple.
Wang Zhan's eyes shifted, landing on Han Junxiong again. Then, he said with a smile, "I suddenly thought of sothing. Since you were a Bounty Hunter before, you must have a lot of treasures on you, right? Can't you take out sothing to help
exchange for those higher-level demon cores?"
Han Junxiong gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "How could I possibly?"
"Can't you see I'm a particularly poor Bounty Hunter? I don't have many treasures on
at all. If it weren't for you and Teacher Hu taking
in, I'd probably be a corpse by now. So, look at the state I'm in; how could I possibly have any treasures? Co on, stop joking with ."
