After she found some things she needed, Zhang Lingxue went to the deserted valley again, but she was surprised because a giant octopus beast suddenly came out of the hole not far from the teleportation device. Polypus was also surprised by Zhang Lingxue's presence, but he remembered that Zhang Fei had already set up a barrier around the area, so no one else could enter the place. He then returned to his human form before asking her. "Are you Big Brother's wife, Big Sis?" "Yes." Zhang Lingxue answered before moving in front of him and lightly patting his head. "You're Polypus, right? My husband has told me about you, and I hope you can help me." "Hehe." Polypus seemed pleased with Zhang Lingxue's actions, and he nodded repeatedly to her. "Don't worry, I will help you, Big Sis. So which herbs do you want to pick? I will help you pick them, but you have to tell me the correct way to do it first." "I will teach you how to harvest the herbs, so their effects will not decrease, and the results will be maximized when I use them as alchemy ingredients." Polypus happily followed behind Zhang Lingxue as he listened to her explain to him the benefits, care, and harvesting of each herb. "Are you interested in alchemy?" Polypus nodded to Zhang Lingxue. "Big Sis, I am really interested in herbs, but I do not have the fire element, so I can't possibly learn about alchemy, right?" "You are right about that." Zhang Lingxue then told him. "Actually, you can still do alchemy even if you don't have the fire element, but it will be much harder for you than for humans or beasts with the fire element, especially since you have to rely on external fire to do it." After all, each herb requires a different heat intensity; some require low heat, some require medium heat, and some require intense heat. If you're interested in alchemy, I can teach you the basics, and I will also teach you how to regulate the heat when performing alchemy." Polypus pondered for a while before agreeing to that. "Big sis, I want to learn about alchemy, so please teach me everything about it." Zhang Lingxue immediately took out a book about alchemy and gave it to Polypus. "While I pick the herbs I need, you can read all of the writings in this book and ask me directly if there is anything you do not understand." "Yes, Big Sis." Polypus immediately sat on the ground and read the book seriously. He also repeatedly asked Zhang Lingxue if he found anything difficult to understand. In the end, Zhang Lingxue decided to do alchemy in the deserted valley, so she could accompany and teach Polypus about alchemy at the same time. . . . In the Yin-Yang Pavilion, Zhang Fei [1]'s six partners were gathering with several others, but several of them looked surprised when they saw Yun Kexin's presence among the women, especially since she was previously Yin Tong's partner. "All right, you guys don't need to be so curious about their relationship." Lin Dong'er shouted to Nanxuan Luoyue, Xia Bing, and Lian Chengyu. "The three of you may not know about this matter, but Yin Tong and Ni Weiwei are dead, and you should be able to guess the culprit based on Yun Kexin's presence among them." After hearing Lin Dong'er's words, the three of them took a deep breath, and they turned to Yun Kexin, who confirmed it with a nod. "It would be good if both of them are dead now, so our competition in disciple rank will widen." Nan Xuan Luo Yue suddenly spoke. "Moreover, Yin Tong has always been arrogant, and Ni Weiwei's arrogance is much worse than hers, so I've never liked them." Xia Bing shook his head before speaking to his partner. "They're dead now, so you don't have to badmouth them anymore, okay? I never liked them myself, but we shouldn't waste time discussing the dead; instead, we should concentrate on our own affairs. "Well, that's true." Nanxuan Luoyue then asked them. "Are we really going to take on a group mission with this many people? The point rewards from group missions are big, but we will only get a little bit if we split them between the twelve of us." "Haha." Lin Dong'er laughed upon hearing that. "Hey, you're right if we only take on one mission, but we won't just take on one mission this time; we'll take on several missions at once." Nanxuan Luoyue and the other three were surprised by this, and Du Yuan immediately explained it to them. "Fei asked us to go on an adventure to gain experience, so we will be away from the sect for a long time. That's why we have already reached an agreement with Lingshu and Dong'er to undertake multiple missions simultaneously. We will select missions that align with our destinations, ensuring we earn significant points for everyone involved." "Do you think Elder Min will allow us to take on multiple missions at once?" This time, it was Lian Chengyu who inquired. "Yes." Gu Yan and the others answered him in unison. Mu Lingshu then spoke to Lian Chengyu and the others. "You don't need to mind Elder Min; I believe that he will not forbid us from taking on multiple missions at once, especially since Zhang Fei [1] has already obtained an exception from Mistress Shen, and he himself has also left with several missions." "You guys are Shen Haoran's loyalists, right?" Zhang Fei [1] inquired with narrowed eyes. "I don't understand why he wants to kill me, but he has sent you to meet your deaths." "Braggart!" One of them shouted at Zhang Fei [1]. "Do you think you can fight us all by yourself with your cultivation at the 10-Star Core Realm?" "You know what? Ignorant people are simply too stupid, and you guys act without using your brains." Zhang Fei [1] replied to them with a shake of his head. "Shen Haoran doesn't even know me, so he doesn't know anything about me or my abilities. Two days ago, someone told me that you guys would come here to kill me, and that person also told me about your strengths, so I purposely waited for you all here." "Who told you about us? Ugh!" *Bam... Bam... Bam...* Those people instantly fell to the ground as Zhang Fei [1] activated his bloodline power to suppress them, causing all of them to look at him in shock, and he responded to their expressions with an evil smile. "Do you all believe that I would wait for you here if I did not have the capability to kill you all? Your cultivation is indeed higher than mine, but you guys are mere sea serpents, and my bloodline is much stronger than yours." Just as they were thinking about Zhang Fei [1]'s beast identity, the men suddenly felt a sharp pain on their ring fingers, but their eyes widened as they saw Zefyr floating in front of Zhang Fei with their storage rings circled around her. "You can keep them, Fei." "Thank you, Zephyr." Zhang Fei [1] immediately grabbed their storage rings and stored them in the system inventory before turning his gaze back to the men. "Do you guys still doubt that I have the ability to kill you? If you still doubt me, then I will show you my true form, so you can die without regrets." After he said that, Zhang Fei [1] immediately transformed into his fox form. However, his fox form had changed from its usual white color to an adult, five-tailed black fox with blood-red eyes. He had two demon horns on his head and two large black wings on his back, especially since he merged his two bloodlines, changing his form. 'Demon fox!' The people screamed in shock in their hearts as their bodies trembled intensely under the pressure of Zhang Fei [1]'s bloodline, especially when he activated his demon eyes to instill fear in them. Unlike them, Zefyr was impressed after she learned that Zhang Fei [1] could combine both of his bloodlines, which made him look like a demon fox. 'Hehehe! If he can really reach ten-tailed, I'm sure that he will be able to surpass the previous ten-tailed fox, and he will become the strongest in this universe.' *Tap... Tap...* As he stared at them with his blood-red eyes, Zhang Fei [1] walked towards them while showing his sharp fangs, causing them to feel even more terrified of him. "Ugh!" Two of them groaned in pain as Zhang Fei [1] stepped on them with his front paws, and he wrapped his four tails around the other eight before lifting them up high. "Even though all of you are just following Shen Haoran's orders, you guys are still my enemies, and I will never spare my enemies, so you all can die now." After he said that, Zhang Fei [1] immediately used his Essence Absorption Technique, and he absorbed their beast essences for his own benefit. Zefyr took a deep breath as he watched the beast cultivators' bodies begin to dry up, and their skin shriveled up into a dry shell that eventually turned them into dried skeletons. [You gained 100,000 Beast Essences.] 'Their beast essences aren't bad, but I still need another 100,000 to buy another advanced technique.' Zhang Fei [1] then returned to his human form and turned toward Zefyr. "Let's go; we're going to the second mission location now." - To Be Continued - === My other novels 1.
