Cultivation Begins with Daily Intelligence Reports

5: I picked up a monsterThe beaten path under their feet had disappeared before they knew it.

It had turned into unyielding mountain rocks and layers of fallen leaves.

Every so often, Lin Jingxia and Little Miss would leave a mark, imprinting it with their Qi.

These marks, containing only a tiny amount of Qi, could only last for three to five hours before dissipating, but it was enough to recognize the path they had come by and walk back out.

The two immediately began digging for some wild vegetables and medicinal herbs.

If ordinary medicinal herbs were gathered in large quantities or were of high age, they could also be worth some Spirit Stones.

Lin Jingyu followed behind like a dullard, not saying a word. Lin Jingxia had asked him several times to catch up so the three of them could be together.

He wouldn’t listen, insisting on keeping his distance, because he tried his best not to get involved in matters predicted by his Golden Finger, unless it was something where the outcome absolutely had to be changed.

It was truly enough to make Lin Jingxia furious.

Lin Jingxia thought that when three people were traveling through mountains and rivers together, holding hands for support or helping each other by the arm were all very normal actions, weren’t they?

If things kept going like this, wouldn’t the warmth between her and Little Miss rise rapidly!

Following behind, what kind of opportunities could there be?

Lin Jingxia rolled her eyes in anger and simply stopped paying attention to him, focusing on digging for herbs instead.

Lin Jingyu wasn’t idle either; upon seeing some decent bamboo shoots, he dug up a few, and he also gathered some wild chestnuts.

It had to be said that the resources in the back mountain were very abundant.

It was enough to support thousands of ordinary people.

It was just that within the immortal cultivation circle, these ordinary, mundane items were worth next to nothing.

It was said that some professional herb gatherers would venture dozens of miles deep, entering the territory belonging to the Black Mountain.

Inside, there were all kinds of treasures, Spiritual Plants, and even high-rank Spiritual Veins.

It was also filled with great danger, with Yao Beasts at the Qi Refinement Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, and even Golden Core Yao Beasts.

Unless they were highly experienced mountain travelers or herb gatherers, ordinary Cultivators would not dare to go inside.

”Boom!”

A huge crashing sound came, and Lin Jingyu’s heart tightened as he quickly looked over.

He saw Lin Jingxia with her hands on her hips, looking proud.

About ten meters away, a Roe Deer had been struck on the head by two stones the size of fists and had immediately stopped breathing.

Needless to say, it was definitely her achievement.

”Haha, Brother, Little Miss, now we have Roe Deer meat to eat.”

The voice carried far into the empty mountain forest.

Lin Jingyu’s gaze froze. Could it be that the bloody smell from killing the Roe Deer had attracted that Yao Beast Baboon?

However, he did not feel too much worry in his heart.

After all, since the two of them could escape it, it wasn’t a very powerful Yao Beast.

Before he could move closer, he heard a howl.

Accompanied by the continuous cracking of branches, a silver-white Baboon, over five feet tall, charged over.

With a push of its feet, its demonic power erupted, and it charged toward Lin Jingxia.

Lin Jingyu sensed it; the intensity of its demonic power was only equivalent to the Qi Refining Second Layer.

However, Yao Beasts grew through slaughter, and their combat experience was far beyond what ordinary Cultivators could compare to.

”Yao Beast! Run!”

Lin Jingxia was startled, her face showing visible panic. She gripped the hoe in her hand tightly, pouring her Qi into it as if it cost nothing, and smashed it fiercely toward the Baboon’s skull.

”Dong!!” A sound rang out.

It was like striking iron or stone.

The hoe shattered into several pieces, and the webbing between Lin Jingxia’s thumb and index finger was shaken until it was bleeding profusely.

The Baboon also fell to the ground, shaking its head, trying to climb back up.

Seeing this, Little Miss immediately threw away useless items like the basket on her back and grabbed Lin Jingxia, running for their lives.

The Baboon, having regained its senses, had a bump the size of a bowl on its head and roared in anger.

It chased after the two young women.

Lin Jingyu did not step in to stop the Baboon; instead, he followed behind it, running forward quickly.
