Chapter 4 Spirit Stone, Roasted Meat

Holding a long saber in his hand, Zhang Yuhe cautiously shuttled forward through the mountain forest.

Although he had no wilderness survival experience, didn't know how to hunt, and didn't know how to look for prey.

But a living person couldn't possibly be suffocated to death by urine.

Besides, at this point, he could at least be considered an immortal cultivator.

He might not be able to beat powerful Yao Beasts, but hacking to death a small monster that could fill his stomach should definitely not be a problem.

Thinking this, he shuttled through the mountain forest.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from not far away.

Zhang Yuhe's heart tightened, and he quickly hid behind a large tree, sticking his head out to observe forward quietly.

Not long after, a huge wild boar appeared in his field of vision.

"Damn, are the wild boars in Yu Fantian this huge?"

Upon seeing the wild boar, Zhang Yuhe was completely dumbfounded.

A wild boar that grew larger than an ox, it must have become a spirit.

At this moment, he hesitated a bit about whether to treat this wild boar as his dinner.

Through observation, he discovered that although this wild boar was very large, the aura it emitted seemed to be a bit weaker than his own.

If he quietly sneaked over to launch a sneak attack, there should be a chance to hack it to death.

"Forget it, wild boar meat doesn't taste good, let's change the target."

After some inner struggle, Zhang Yuhe quickly found an excuse for himself and abandoned the idea of recklessly rushing in.

The main thing was that although he currently possessed the cultivation base of Qi Refining Level 4, he had never learned any spells or Divine Abilities.

The flashy spells that an immortal cultivator should have, along with mountain-moving and sea-overturning Divine Abilities, currently only existed in his imagination.

Zhang Yuhe currently only had brute strength; if he wanted to hack monsters, he could only rely on the long saber in his hand or use his fists directly.

To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in his long saber that cost 50,000 Blue Coins.

Could an ordinary mortal saber forged on Blue Star hack to death a Yao Beast in Yu Fantian?

Zhang Yuhe expressed doubt.

Holding the long saber in his hand was entirely to bolster his own courage.

That was all.

After bypassing the large wild boar, Zhang Yuhe successively discovered a few more Yao Beasts.

However, he still chose not to make a move, because the auras emitted by these Yao Beasts were either similar to his own or even stronger than him.

It made his heart palpitate with fear just looking at them.

"Let's leave them be for now. After my strength improves in a few days, I'll come back to slaughter them and eat meat."

After some self-consolation, Zhang Yuhe continued on his way to look for his dinner.

"Eh, this one is not bad. Yellow sheep meat should taste good, right?"

The number of Yao Beasts in the mountain forest was truly not small, and Zhang Yuhe quickly found his target.

This was a Yao Beast that looked like a yellow sheep.

Let's tentatively treat it as a yellow sheep.

The yellow sheep was not very big, about the same as the ones over on Blue Star. The key was that the aura emitted by this yellow sheep was very weak.

It was about the same as when he had just broken through to Qi Refining Level 1.

"It's this one."

Making a move in Yu Fantian for the first time, Zhang Yuhe felt that he should play it safe.

So he found the weakest monster.

He quietly crept toward the yellow sheep.

At this time, the yellow sheep did not yet know that its Life was about to come to an end, and it was still leisurely eating tree leaves.

Clang…

Zhang Yuhe suddenly leaped up, his long saber leaving its sheath, and the Spiritual Qi within his Dantian rapidly surged toward the long saber in his hand.

A piercing blade light hacked straight down toward the yellow sheep's neck.

Due to the gap in strength, and because it was a sneak attack, the yellow sheep didn't react at all.

The blade light flashed past, separating the sheep's head from its body. On the ground, only the corpse of the small yellow sheep was left, along with two glowing wooden boxes.

"Haha, items dropped! What kind of good thing could it be? Will it give me a Divine Artifact?"

Killing a monster in Yu Fantian for the first time and instantly dropping two items made Zhang Yuhe extremely excited.

He quickly opened the first box, and a stone brimming with Spiritual Qi presented itself before him.

The stone was not big, only about the size of a mahjong tile.

"This gadget should be a Spirit Stone, right?"

Zhang Yuhe quickly picked up the Spirit Stone.

"Not bad, dropping a Spirit Stone can be considered a pretty good harvest."

Spirit Stones had wide uses in the cultivation world; they could not only assist with Cultivate, but also be used to set up formations and the like.

Of course, the most primary use of Spirit Stones was still as currency; they were the universal currency of the cultivation world.

Traveling in Yu Fantian, if one didn't have Spirit Stones on them, it would be just like having no money on Blue Star—hard to move even a single step.

Putting the Spirit Stone away, Zhang Yuhe opened the second box, and a wave of meaty fragrance rushed toward his face.

"Uh, a plate of roasted meat?"

Looking at the items in the box, Zhang Yuhe was somewhat speechless.

He had thought of many things, such as Cultivation Techniques and Secret Manuals, or Magical Artifacts and Magic Treasures.

He was even fantasizing about whether he could unbox a Divine Artifact.

However, placed inside the box was a fragrant plate of roasted meat, something he completely hadn't expected.

"My imagination still isn't big enough."

That works too; directly unboxing dinner was precisely what he needed.

Zhang Yuhe took the roasted meat out of the box.

He had to admit that the settings of the game System were still quite considerate.

The roasted meat was actually served to him on a plate, so he didn't have to grab it directly with his hands.

"Go back to eat and Cultivate."

Holding the long saber in his left hand and carrying a plate of roasted meat in his right hand, Zhang Yuhe quickly returned in the direction of the Taoist temple.

As for the corpse of the yellow sheep on the ground, he didn't even bother to take another glance at it.

Because Zhang Yuhe suddenly remembered that he hadn't brought any seasonings, nor had he brought a fire source.

Having a yellow sheep for nothing, it was completely impossible to eat; surely he couldn't eat it raw.

He wasn't Bear Grylls; he really couldn't bring himself to eat it raw.

Not long after, Zhang Yuhe returned to the dilapidated Taoist temple. He used his long saber to cut the roasted meat into small pieces, and then slowly enjoyed it.

A piece of roasted meat went down his stomach, and his entire body felt comfortable.

"It smells so good. Let's see what everyone else is doing."

While eating the roasted meat, Zhang Yuhe opened the chat channel.

At this moment, the people bubbling up on the chat channel were no longer as many as when it first started.

However, it was still spamming the screen, just not as fast as before.

"I'm so hungry. Do any big bosses have food? Can you add me as a friend and give me a portion?"

"Haha, before coming in, I carried a box of instant noodles, enough to eat for several days."

"There are wild monsters everywhere outside, can you still starve? Go out and hack monsters to eat meat."

"Hack my ass, can you beat them? If I had known, I would have brought an AK in."

"What the hell is the use of an AK? It won't fire at all here."

"No way, there's such a thing?"

"Yeah, your daddy brought a large sniper rifle in, but as a result, it couldn't fire at all. It's not even as useful as a firewood stick."

"Indeed. Not only are firearms useless here, even lighters can't be used."

"Then we're done for, are we going to starve to death here?"

"What is there to be afraid of? At worst, we'll go out and fight it out with the wild monsters. Anyway, it doesn't matter if we die; dying just means going back to sleep, and coming in tomorrow makes us a hero again."

"Don't think too much. If you really can't hold on, log off. Today is only the first day; just understand the situation, and come back tomorrow after making more thorough preparations."

"That's right. Anyway, it won't delay much time. Immortal cultivation is a matter of hundreds or thousands of years, a hundred days more or less doesn't matter."

"Brother above is entirely correct. I'll log off first, bye-bye."

"Sigh, I'll hold on for a bit longer."

"It's getting dark soon, so scary. My location is an abandoned village, there won't be any ghosts at night, right?"

"If there are ghosts, isn't that just right? Think of Ning Caichen, it feels fucking awesome."

"Holy shit, bro, I respect you as a man."
