Wang Ruoxie quickly walked out of Wuyi County City and then sped straight towards the Tongyun Mountains.
The Tongyun Mountains are located in the northwest region of Wuyi County, about a few miles from the Commandery City.
With Wang Ruoxie's speed, he reached the outskirts of the Tongyun Mountains in about half an hour.
This was his first time coming to the Tongyun Mountains. Previously, he had been weak and bedridden for years, rarely going out, let alone to the beast-infested Tongyun Mountains, which even contained true demon beasts.
However, his goal in coming to the Tongyun Mountains this time was not those true demon beasts.
With his current cultivation and strength, he could not even contend with the most ordinary Tier One demon beast, so his targets this time were those wild beasts.
Yet even ordinary wild beasts were still extremely fierce.
Of course, because the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi on the Yuanwu Continent is extremely dense, the beasts have been nurtured by the Spiritual Qi for years, so their blood and flesh have some supplementary effects for martial cultivators in the early stage of the Body Tempering Realm.
"Here will be my starting point to re-enter the Celestial Human Realm."
Gazing at the vast and mysterious Tongyun Mountains ahead, Wang Ruoxie murmured softly.
Then, without hesitation, he lifted his foot and walked towards the depths of the Tongyun Mountains.
Although the Tongyun Mountains are located in the region of Wuyi County, they are considered the largest mountain range in the entire Southern Prefecture, especially in the depths of the mountains, where demon beasts are extremely numerous.
Therefore, among the dozens of counties governed by the Southern Prefecture, besides Wuyi County, people from other counties also come to the Tongyun Mountains to hunt demon beasts.
Moreover, in addition to demon beasts, there are also many spirit herbs in the Tongyun Mountains, which is one of Wang Ruoxie's objectives.
Although he can purchase herbs through Jisheng Hall, many of the more rare herbs cannot always be obtained, or it takes a lot of time to acquire them.
The reason is simple: near many rare spirit herbs, there are often demon beasts guarding them, or in other words, demon beasts also want to obtain these spirit herbs.
Opportunities are accompanied by danger, and almost every day, to some degree, some martial cultivators die at the mouths of powerful demon beasts to obtain those rare spirit herbs, their bodies never to be found.
Soon, Wang Ruoxie entered the Tongyun Mountains. Although he was still on the outskirts, he could already sense the dangerous aura in the air, and faint beast roars could be heard around him.
In the dense forest, towering trees stood one by one, making the surrounding space rather dark, with only slivers of sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves.
After moving forward for a while, a black wild wolf appeared in Wang Ruoxie's sight.
"Roar!"
At this time, the wild wolf seemed to have also noticed Wang Ruoxie. It let out a furious roar and then directly charged at Wang Ruoxie.
Its sharp claws and terrifying fangs seemed as if they wanted to tear Wang Ruoxie apart. Clearly, this wild wolf must have been starving and couldn't wait upon suddenly discovering prey.
Feeling a ferocious aura rushing forward, Wang Ruoxie's body immediately surged forward, lifting his fist, and directly struck at the charging wild wolf.
"Bang!"
A punch landed heavily on the wild wolf's body, sending its rather large body flying out.
With this punch, Wang Ruoxie unleashed his maximum strength, a force of five hundred pounds, the strength of one tiger.
After the wild wolf's body landed on the ground, it convulsed violently a few times, then stopped moving, dead.
Wang Ruoxie calmly walked over to the wolf's corpse, then leaned down.
Killing a wild wolf with one punch was nothing to him. Although he couldn't yet contend with real demon beasts, with his five hundred pounds of great strength, plus his combat experience and skills from his previous life, killing ordinary wild beasts posed no problem.
Moreover, in that punch just now, he had incorporated the technique of the Ninth Layer, which, while seemingly an ordinary punch, divided the force into nine layers, each stronger than the last, a punch of nine harms.
Although his current cultivation wasn't enough to exert the extreme strength of all nine layers, the punch contained a strength of three layers, already enough to easily kill the wild wolf.
On the outside, this wolf seemed unscathed, but its bones and internal organs were actually shattered.
Wang Ruoxie took out a dagger from his bosom, then pierced it straight through the wild wolf's heart vein, immediately causing crimson blood to slowly ooze out.
He then took out a porcelain bottle and collected the blood.
From the large wolf corpse, only a dozen or so drops of blood flowed out, and then no more.
"With my current cultivation, I can't yet perform most of the techniques from my past life, nor can I refine essence blood, so I have to use heart blood as a substitute."
Wang Ruoxie put the porcelain bottle into his bosom, muttering quietly to himself.
This blood, of course, was not ordinary blood but the heart blood taken from the wolf's heart vein.
The heart vein, referring to the main vein of the five viscera, directly concerns life and death. If the heart vein is broken, death is certain.
However, it's generally difficult for people to locate the heart vein. If not for Wang Ruoxie's previous life's transformation into a Blood Demon and his profound knowledge of the anatomy of many beings, he would have difficulty accurately piercing the wolf's heart vein to extract its heart blood.
With Wang Ruoxie's current cultivation, and his body having been transformed by the Blood God Essence Blood, the blood and flesh of ordinary beasts can hardly improve him anymore, so he can only collect their heart blood.
Although heart blood doesn't match true essence blood, it still contains a trace of the beast's vital essence, greatly aiding his cultivation.
However, the most a beast can yield is just a dozen drops of heart blood, which is rather scarce.
Afterward, Wang Ruoxie began to focus on hunting beasts. With his strength, hunting beasts was practically a slaughter. Whether tigers, leopards, wolves, lions, bears, bulls, or deer, none could withstand his punch.
And the beast heart blood in his porcelain bottle continued to increase.
"Hunting about ten more beasts should be enough for me to cultivate once."
Wang Ruoxie thought to himself, then continued towards the depths of the mountains.
However, he had to remain cautious, as not only beasts but also true demon beasts inhabited the mountain depths.
"Roar..."
Just then, a beast's roar suddenly resounded as an incredibly large bull blocked Wang Ruoxie's path.
This bull was different from ordinary bulls, as there was a silver stripe on its back.
"Tier One demon beast, Silver-Backed Bull."
Wang Ruoxie's eyes narrowed. The Silver-Backed Bull was an evolved Tier One demon beast from an ordinary bull, with an exceptionally strong body. Even a martial cultivator at the Sixth Layer of the Body Tempering Realm would find it hard to easily injure it.
Moreover, when the Silver-Backed Bull charges with full force, it can exert at least a thousand pounds of strength, the measure of one bull's strength for martial cultivators. Add in its extremely sharp horns, and even a typical cultivator at the Seventh Layer of the Body Tempering Realm might have to retreat when facing it.
Without any hesitation, Wang Ruoxie immediately turned and sprinted in the other direction.
He wasn't foolish. Engaging in battle with the Silver-Backed Bull with his current cultivation and strength would be certain death.
"Boom!"
The Silver-Backed Bull seemed unwilling to let Wang Ruoxie go, tightly pursuing him from behind.
