Chapter 118: Chapter 45 Mountains, Bear Demon, Mountain God_1
Outside Yunfu Mountain, a yellow taxi slowly pulls up in front of the ridge.
Shen Yuan and Bai Xue get off the vehicle and close the door behind them. As they step out, the worried driver steps on the gas and disappears quickly on the winding road.
Shen Yuan isn’t surprised by the driver’s nervousness for they are nearing Yunfu Mountain where, if unlucky, one might encounter mbers of the monster tribe.
During the month Shen Yuan spent in secluded cultivation, the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge has intensified, and even ordinary life has started to see the ergence of the monster tribe.
At first, curiosity outweighed fear among humans. Many had seized this curiosity, and video platforms started featuring a large number of monster tribe mbers. There were even internet celebrity agencies that signed contracts with mbers of the monster tribe to promote live streaming sales.
This strategy ignited an overwhelming enthusiasm among the public for the monster tribe. The live streaming sales were a huge success, earning the company a fortune and making it a favorite in the live streaming industry.
But then, the company’s boss, used to exploiting his employees, forced the monsters into 3996 work culture. In a fit of rage, one of the monsters murdered him live and fled to Yunfu Mountain.
This caused a major uproar and made people reevaluate their knowledge of the monster tribe. It also introduced Yunfu Mountain, a territory under the control of the monster tribe, into the public’s view.
Shen Yuan, who had been in deep cultivation for a month and was not keeping up with the online world, had little knowledge of these events. It was only the driver who had just inford him of the news related to Yunfu Mountain.
Following the driver’s tip, Shen Yuan looked up related news. However, when he saw the monster who chose to rebel, an odd feeling stirred within him.
Because the monster who was being exploited in live streaming sales, and who eventually killed the boss before fleeing to Yunfu Mountain, happened to be a giant panda.
In Great Xia, there’s no such thing as a national treasure. So even a giant panda can be pulled in for sales, leading to this ridiculous farce.
“What happened to the idea of ‘bear people will never be slaves, unless they are given food and shelter’?
Or is it that being exploited by capitalists is worse than being a slave?”
The giant panda’s situation evokes sympathy, but it has indeed led to significant negative repercussions.
All videos and promotions related to the monster tribe were banned. Furthermore, frequent reports of monsters attacking humans had led the public to perceive the monster tribe as dangerous entities, making their fear sowhat justified.
Looking around the environnt, it was apparent from the driver’s account that they were near Yunfu Mountain.
The area was surrounded by dense jungle, with a winding road cutting through it towards the depths of the mountains.
“ow-!”
Bai Xue, who had not been out for a month, was weirdly crouched on Shen Yuan’s shoulder, pleasantly surveying the surroundings. Curiosity filled her heterochromatic eyes.
However, Shen Yuan’s travel party was missing a mighty tiger-like cat this ti.
The Maine Coon had chosen to leave a month ago. Its original purpose of sticking around Shen Yuan was to protect Bai Xue and ensure she wouldn’t get hurt.
After interacting with Shen Yuan for a while, the Maine Coon felt reassured about Shen Yuan’s protection of Bai Xue and decided to return to the wilderness peacefully.
Shen Yuan respected the Maine Coon’s decision and did not attempt to stop it. Even Bai Xue, who was closest to the Maine Coon, did the sa.
With its tiger heritage, the Maine Coon was destined to beco a Demon King, commanding the wilderness, rather than stay with Shen Yuan as a mount.
As for a certain lazy one at ho, it was still growing and needed the Natural Spirit Pool to supply Spirit Energy. Plus, it hadn’t ford into shape yet and was inconvenient to move, so Shen Yuan didn’t bring it along.
This ti on their journey to Yunfu Mountain, Shen Yuan only brought Bai Xue along.
Shen Yuan identified the uphill path. He manipulated his Mana to levitate amongst the jungle, blending in as if a stream of breeze.
This was an unexpected reward that Shen Yuan had gained from sorting through books and scriptures during the past month and a half.
Among the many cultivation books, there was one nad “Basic Magic and Spells Compendium”. This book records many basic spells that can be used after achieving the Qi Transformation Stage.
For instance, the Clothing Cleaning Technique, the Fire Summoning Technique, the Levitation Technique, the Spiritual Shield Technique, and many other basic spells. Among these, the technique Shen Yuan used for levitation was also one of them.
Although these spells are quite common within the Cultivation World, and so of them have even been phased out with ti, for Shen Yuan, who had no foundation in magic, they were precious treasures.
This filled in the gap as Shen Yuan had no other techniques outside of attack spells.
For example, the Levitation Technique is to manipulate the breeze using Mana, enabling one to levitate for a temporary span.
Although it couldn’t achieve full flight, it had the advantage of conserving Mana and also proved to be quite speedy.
Among these spells, aside from the highly valued Levitation Technique, another spell known as the Breath Concealing Technique piqued Shen Yuan’s curiosity.
This spell could hide the cultivation realm, and if mastered, could even conceal the Mana fluctuations, making the opponent unable to detect any traces of magic thereby obtaining an advantage in battle.
This spell was quite practical; however, the main difficulty lied in mastering it. But for Shen Yuan, there was no worry in this regard.
During his experintation with cultivation, Shen Yuan finally realized the true power of the Sainthood Attainnt Enlightennt Array Formation in comprehending spells.
