27: Chapter 27 Monster Mountain Range

Half a month later, Chen Changqing initially mastered the Cangtian Transforming Dragon Art.

Then, after instructing a few attendants and maidservants, he quietly left Qinghe Market under the cover of night.

His whereabouts could not be known by too many people; if others found out, it might bring him fatal disaster, because back then during the battle between the Chen and Wu families, he had exposed extremely terrifying potential.

At that time, he vaguely sensed malice from Zhao Huaiyi, except that due to the crowd back then, the latter didn't make a move against him. Anyway, after understanding the Chen family's situation, he urgently needed to possess even stronger strength now.

After about several hours, Chen Changqing arrived at the outer perimeter of the Monster Mountain Range. The Monster Mountain Range was located at the southernmost tip of the Eastern Domain, and this section where Great Yan Country was located was actually just a small part of the entire Monster Mountain Range.

Deep within the Monster Mountain Range, it was rumored that various demon kingdoms existed. The reason why they had not invaded on a large scale was precisely because there was the Monster Mountain Range acting as a barrier for the Human Race. Otherwise, given the aggressiveness of the Yao Race, they would have already attacked from over there.

"With my strength, I can probably only hunt Yao Beasts in the outer perimeter. Let's stop here! Otherwise, if I encounter a Tier 2 Monster Beast, it will be troublesome." Standing on a giant tree a hundred zhang tall, Chen Changqing scanned his surroundings while pondering.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from not far away.

Roar!

Chen Changqing looked over and saw a huge dark shadow rampaging through, smashing many trees along the way.

"That is? The Black Bear Demon!" Chen Changqing looked closely and only then discovered that the huge dark shadow not far away was a bear demon. As for the reason why it was so enraged, it seemed to be chasing something?

Roar! Crunch!

When the Black Bear Demon was less than a hundred zhang away from the giant tree where Chen Changqing was located, he finally discovered what the Black Bear Demon was chasing. It turned out to be a mouse demon. Judging solely by the color of its fur, it was just an ordinary mouse, but when Chen Changqing saw that its tail had golden fur, a trace of surprise and joy appeared in his eyes.

"To think it is actually a Treasure-Seeking Mouse! What incredible luck. It is rumored that the Treasure-Seeking Mouse is skilled at finding Heaven And Earth Treasure, and its earth escape technique is even more masterfully executed. Even without using the earth escape technique, running on the ground alone is enough to make many Yao Beasts flinch and turn back.

In the Immortal Realm, no one doesn't love it. Many High Grade Cultivators are even willing to offer astronomical amounts of Spirit Stones as a bounty just to get such a Treasure-Seeking Mouse." Chen Changqing thought to himself.

Then, waiting until the Treasure-Seeking Mouse was less than ten zhang away from him, he suddenly flew out. Driven by him, the qingyang sword slashed towards the Black Bear Demon, while at the same time he pulled out several golden sword Talismans and struck it with them. Then, while both the Black Bear Demon and the Treasure-Seeking Mouse were stunned, he reached out one hand to grab the Treasure-Seeking Mouse. However, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse was extremely slippery, instantly burrowing into the ground and escaping right from his palm.

Chen Changqing widened his eyes in disbelief as it actually escaped. Bastard!

Swoosh!

The Treasure-Seeking Mouse materialized not far away. When looking at Chen Changqing, its pair of eyes carried a trace of anthropomorphic amusement, as if mocking Chen Changqing.

Roar!

The Black Bear Demon was completely enraged by these sudden moves. Chen Changqing had no time to look elsewhere and had to deal with the Black Bear Demon in front of him first.

"Go." Driven by him once again, the qingyang sword that had already returned continued to slash towards the Black Bear Demon.

Clang!

As expected of a Tier 1 High Grade Monster Beast, the fur on the Black Bear Demon's exterior was as hard as iron. Even the qingyang sword, which was also of Tier 1 High Grade, only left a shallow bloodstain on its body. However, this was also because Chen Changqing had not used his full strength.

After taking the slash from the qingyang sword, the Black Bear Demon quickly charged towards Chen Changqing, slamming a massive bear paw at Chen Changqing's forehead. Chen Changqing immediately took out several water wall talismans while simultaneously casting the Azure Wood Shield to block in front of him.

Although he had made so many defensive preparations, the outer water wall talismans only lasted for a short moment before being completely shattered by the Black Bear Demon.

Seeing that the bear paw was about to strike him, Chen Changqing activated an earth escape talisman he had been holding in his hand all along. Instantly, he tunneled more than ten zhang away, narrowly dodging this attack.

Then, he lifted his finger and gave a light tap. A fingertip blast wrapped in a large amount of wood-attribute spiritual power struck the Black Bear Demon. With just a single strike, it pierced right through the Black Bear Demon. He then sacrificed the qingyang sword to slash at its head.

However, although the Black Bear Demon's body was huge, its movements were very agile. It narrowly dodged this attack and turned around to charge at Chen Changqing once more.

Chen Changqing pinched out several Fireball Talismans and wind blade Talismans, throwing them all out at once.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Immediately, several Talismans all hit the Black Bear Demon, kicking up a cloud of dust that obscured the Black Bear Demon's vision. Seizing the opportunity, Chen Changqing drove the qingyang sword to circle behind it and slashed down with a sword.

In an instant, the Black Bear Demon's huge head soared into the sky, and a thick pillar of blood spewed from its neck.

Boom! When the Black Bear Demon fell to the ground, that Treasure-Seeking Mouse was still observing there without any intention of running away. Judging by its appearance, it wasn't worried about being caught at all.

However, Chen Changqing did not look at it, and instead collected some of the most valuable Materials of the Black Bear Demon. First, he used the qingyang sword to cut off the Black Bear Demon's skin piece by piece, then gathered some flesh and blood, and finally closed his eyes, mobilizing the dao bead within his body.

An azure-blue bead flew out from Chen Changqing's glabella and hovered beside the Black Bear Demon's corpse. Then, under Chen Changqing's hand incantations, this azure-blue bead rapidly absorbed the Black Bear Demon's flesh and blood. In just a split second, the Black Bear Demon completely turned into a skeleton, leaving not even a scrap behind.

This phenomenon made the scalp of the Treasure-Seeking Mouse not far away go numb. Just as it wanted to flee immediately, a voice that made its soul tremble reached its ears.

"What are you trying to run from?" Then, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse's eyes glazed over for a moment before it was grabbed in Chen Changqing's hands. Immediately performing incantations to make it acknowledge him as master, although Chen Changqing could still sense its rebellious consciousness, he released it anyway. Anyway, since this Treasure-Seeking Mouse had already acknowledged him as master, he wasn't worried that it would run away.

After recalling the dao bead back into his glabella, Chen Changqing felt that the dao bead within his body was filled with majestic blood Qi. Immediately, he circulated the Cangtian Transforming Dragon Art, guiding the blood Qi to flow through the Meridians all over his body. After a while, as the blood Qi inside his body gradually dried up, he found that his physical body had also grown much stronger, approximately approaching the growth-stage level of a Tier 1 Low Grade Monster Beast.

If general Yao Beasts were categorized by their growth stages, it would be from the nursing period, then entering the infancy period, followed by the growth period, adulthood, prime years, and finally old age.

The Yao Beasts encountered in the Immortal Realm were all in adulthood and prime years, and these two periods lasted the longest.

After finishing his Cultivate, Chen Changqing finally looked at the Treasure-Seeking Mouse hopping around not far away. He could now feel that the Treasure-Seeking Mouse did not have the same hostility as before, but instead possessed a sense of intimacy towards him. Thinking of this, Chen Changqing took out a qi gathering pill and gave it to the Treasure-Seeking Mouse to eat.

"Squeak squeak!" After taking it, the Treasure-Seeking Mouse wolfed it down clean in two or three strokes, and then kept making a series of strange cries. Chen Changqing didn't know whether it was happy or disgusted, so he immediately took out several more qi gathering pills for it to eat. Although qi gathering pills were not made from spiritual rice, their taste far surpassed ordinary spiritual rice.
