Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World

Chapter 49: Hiding

Ye Jingyun let out a sigh.

Then, she propped herself up, took out her flying sword, and used it to slash Yu Yuehai's body into numerous pieces before stopping.

She walked closer, used her flying sword to pick up the storage bag, and then used the Fireball Technique to burn the corpse into ashes.

Finally, she let out a sigh of relief.

Next, she went to the location where the five clan leaders were, took out a round spiritual treasure, and used it to scan the area. Then, she started digging with her flying sword and soon uncovered a complete body.

This person was also extremely miserable, with blood and flesh all over their body. After a closer inspection, she realized it was Han Yuhe, the head of the Han family.

Using her spiritual power to scan him, she discovered that he was still alive, likely due to a passive defense-type treasure.

However, if she didn't hurry to save him, he would likely die soon.

Looking at the storage bag on Han Yuhe's waist, Ye Jingyun's eyes sparkled, but in the end, she chose not to kill him and take his treasure. Instead, she took out a pill and fed it to him.

Next, she repeated the process, using the round spiritual treasure to find the remaining five clan leaders.

They were not in the center of the explosion, and were not buried too deeply.

After checking, she discovered that they were all dead, with gruesome injuries.

Ye Jingyun took their storage bags without hesitation, then went to the Xia sisters' location and took a look.

The two girls were only in the Qi Refining stage and didn't have any defensive spiritual treasures. They had already been blown to pieces.

She let out a sigh, shook her head, and thought that the people were already dead, and even the greatest hatred would be forgiven.

Feeling that her magical powers had recovered somewhat, Ye Jingyun didn't dare to linger. The explosion's power was too great, and it would easily attract demonic beasts. She might not have the ability to fight them off.

She hastily buried the dead, then grabbed Han Yuhe and used a flying spiritual treasure to escape.

The area returned to silence.

For a long time…

From the mud beside the giant pit, another person crawled out.

It was Zhao Zhengyuan!

His situation was even more miserable, and after crawling out, he looked around before leaving.

Finally, the area became completely silent.

…

Chen Lin ran wildly, not knowing how long he had been running, until he finally found a hidden spot to hide.

He hid for three days and three nights.

During this time, he didn't move at all, not even to go to the bathroom.

Luckily, he had been eating spiritual rice, which didn't produce much waste, and as a cultivator, his body was different from ordinary people, so he wouldn't die from thirst or hunger.

In those three days, several cultivators appeared in the sky, and some demonic beasts passed by, but none of them discovered his existence.

As time passed, the cultivators disappeared, and the demonic beasts occasionally appeared.

At this moment, he was being stalked by a demonic beast.

It was a large tiger with black stripes on its body.

This creature was a black-striped tiger, and he had eaten its meat with Zhao Zhengyuan before.

Thinking of Zhao Zhengyuan, Chen Lin felt a pang of sadness, not knowing if the other could survive the explosion. His location was relatively far from the explosion center, so if he had a defensive spiritual treasure or talisman, he might be able to survive.

He also wondered about the five clan leaders and Ye Jingyun, not knowing if they were dead or alive.

However, he had no choice at the time, and his only option was to escape, which he couldn't have avoided. Even if he didn't escape, those people would have died at Yu Yuehai's hands and been refined into pills, which was even worse than being blown to death.

Thinking about it, he felt a bit better in his heart.

As for the Xia sisters, it doesn't matter anymore; they're dead and that's what they deserved.

What he's most concerned about is actually Yu Yuehai's life or death, but based on his guess, it's likely that he's dead.

Because after he hid for a while, he felt a change in the Black Essence Gu within him, not only could he clearly sense its existence, but it also seemed to have weakened significantly.

The Black Essence Gu is connected to that demonic bloodline, and this anomaly suggests that the other party is either dead or severely injured.

Chen Lin thought to himself as he gazed at the black-striped tiger not far away.

If the other party didn't attack him, he would continue to hide for a while, and the longer he hid, the safer he would be.

However, things didn't go as planned.

"Roar!"

This black-striped tiger must have been starving for a long time and finally found a prey, so it wouldn't give up; it let out a roar and pounced.

Chen Lin immediately released a Golden Armor and used the Royal Wind Technique to rise into the air.

Although the black-striped tiger looked quite large, it was actually a low-level demonic beast; a Qi Refining initial-stage cultivator might be worried about their life, but for a Qi Refining mid-stage cultivator like him, it was nothing to fear.

Because the opponent couldn't fly and wouldn't attack from a distance, he was safe in the air.

It was a good opportunity for him to practice his combat skills, which were lacking.

Chen Lin controlled his flying sword and attacked the black-striped tiger with various postures, slashing, chopping, and stabbing repeatedly.

The black-striped tiger's defense was strong, its skin thick and rough, and it let out angry roars, but it didn't suffer much damage.

Chen Lin then used the Fireball Technique and the Shocking Technique, but the damage was still minimal.

This made him realize that his methods were insufficient.

Even dealing with a low-level black-striped tiger was so difficult; if he encountered other demonic beasts, he might have to flee in defeat.

Of course, if he used the Thunderbolt Bead, he could definitely kill it instantly.

However, the Thunderbolt Bead was only effective against low-level demonic beasts; against high-level beasts or cultivators who could use defensive techniques, its effect would be greatly reduced.

Especially against those ghostly creatures that existed in special forms, it was uncertain whether it would work or not.

He secretly decided that when he reached a place with cultivators, he would definitely buy some high-level techniques to cultivate.

Although the damage wasn't strong, the black-striped tiger was eventually killed on the spot.

Chen Lin was exhausted, sweating profusely, and only recovered after eating a Qi Restoring Pill.

The most valuable part of the black-striped tiger was its skin, but it had already been sliced to pieces by his flying sword, making it worthless.

In the end, Chen Lin only took the tiger's leg and stored it in his bag, burying the rest and quickly leaving the area.

Stop, walk, stop, hide.

Days passed again.

Chen Lin was like a wild man, but his mental state was still okay.

These past few days, he hadn't encountered any demonic beasts, and he didn't lack food or water; he even dug up two medicinal herbs, one of which was the main ingredient for the Initial Yuan Pill, making him very happy.

He originally had nine materials, and with this one, he only needed to find two more auxiliary herbs to start alchemy!

With the pill, he could cultivate anywhere, and there was no need to hurry to leave.

The key was that he had been wandering in this wilderness for so many days, completely losing his way, and didn't even know where he was; it was unlikely he could find a path to leave anytime soon.

Luckily, this direction had sparse spiritual energy, and there were few high-level demonic beasts, so it wasn't too dangerous.

From now on, he spent his days searching for a way out and searching for spiritual herbs.
