Earning money was the first reason.
The second reason was to temper oneself in actual combat.
Hunting Demon Beasts in the wild would temper one’s will and heart in life-and-death battles. It would also increase the success rate when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Otherwise, if one continued to lie low and never participated in battles, one would only become a giant infant.
In the market, Lu Xuanji walked around, buying the items he needed when he went out.
The Heavenly Silk robe. It was made of Heavenly Silk and was mixed with more than ten kinds of spirit herbs. After wearing it, one could avoid harassment of poisonous insects, snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the mountains.
The Clean Clothes Talisman. When it was activated, it immediately turned into mist and washed the dirt on the user’s clothes, cleaning the user’s body.
The Fire Starter Talisman could be used for cooking or burning things.
The True Water Talisman could absorb the water and store it in the talisman to be used later.
The Hemostatic Talisman had medicinal power and could treat all kinds of wounds.
The Antidote Talisman contained medicinal power and could treat common poisons.
There were also all kinds of other talismans, mainly for living in the wild.
He also bought three bottles of Fasting pills, two bottles of White Yang Pills, one bottle of Detoxification Pills, and one Blood Qi Pills.
He also bought a book. In the book, he could read about the types of Demon Beasts he often met in the wild, their characteristics, collectible materials, some pictures of spirit herbs, and so on.
Going outside, one of the objectives was to hunt Demon Beasts, and the other was to pick some spirit herbs.
After two days of preparation, Lu Xuanji and Ye Feixue left the market city and headed towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Just a moment after they left, someone had already set their eyes on them and was relaying the news.
Killing was forbidden in the Wu Clan Market. Anyone who fought within the market city would be severely punished by the Wu Clan. However, after leaving the market city for 30 miles, they would enter a desolate area where people lived and Demon Beasts roamed freely. If they killed people and stole treasures there, their deaths would be in vain.
…
Just as they left the market city, Ye Feixue felt many pairs of eyes looking at her. She could not help but say, “Brother, someone has set their eyes on us.”
“Ignore them.” Lu Xuanji said calmly, “They won’t make a move. They might test us first. They will test our strength and how many spirit stones we have in our pockets. Only then, they will prepare to act. First of all, they won’t make a move against cultivators who are too poor because they won’t make any profits. They also won’t make a move against people who are too strong because the risk is too great.”
“If the Foundation Establishment cultivators make a move, we won’t be able to defeat them,” Ye Feixue said worriedly.
“Haha, don’t worry. The Foundation Establishment cultivators won’t make a move.” Lu Xuanji said, “The Wu Clan, Ye Clan, and the Lu Clan of the past have all warned the Foundation Establishment cultivators not to make a move to kill Qi Refinement stage cultivators. Otherwise, think about it, if there is a foundation establishment cultivator who is watching the entrance of the Wu Clan Market and constantly hunting Qi Refinement stage cultivators, how would the business in the market continue? The clans would never allow it.”
“After an unaffiliated cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they have two choices. One is to join some cultivation clan and become a Guest Elder. The other is to go out alone and open up a spirit vein and establish their own cultivation clan. If they don’t choose either, they will be expelled.”
“A cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refinement can kill people and steal treasures outside the market. However, a Foundation Establishment cultivator can not. The stronger the cultivation, the greater the power, and the greater the restrictions.”
His figure flashed as he ran into the distance. While he was running, he displayed a movement technique. His speed was so fast that it reached 100 meters per second.
It was as if he was sending a message: My speed is very fast. Without a certain speed or a certain level of cultivation, you will never be able to catch me.
When those who were watching saw that Lu Xuanji had displayed such an evasive technique, their eyes were filled with shock as they began to plan again.
“Boss, do you want to make a move?”
“No need, not for the time being. These two used to be Lu Clan cultivators. However, after Mount Ziyang was conquered by the Flaming Sun Patriarch, these two little guys became unaffiliated cultivators and don’t have much money in their pockets. They are thin and weak sheep. We can still wait for five or six years before killing them. It would be more profitable then.”
Although the boss said this, he was already calculating in his heart how he could kill these two people.
The two cultivators of the Lu Clan had very fast escape techniques. They needed at least seven or eight Qi Refinement stage cultivators to catch and defeat them.
Good, they needed to use some strategies to lure these two people into the danger zone and capture them.
They also needed a Breath Concealing Talisman to conceal their aura and approach these two people to give them a fatal blow.
…
Whoosh whoosh.
After traveling for about 30 miles between the mountain ridges, Lu Xuanji stopped.
Opening the jade slip, he pulled out a map of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
On the map, there was the terrain of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Hunting Demon Beasts meant entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there were all kinds of Demon Beasts. There were Qi Refinement Demon Beasts, Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts, Zifu Demon Beasts, Golden Core Demon Beasts, and even Nascent Soul Demon Beasts. It was said that in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there was a Black Dragon Demon Emperor. It was extremely terrifying.
Within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, there were the outer regions, the mixed regions, the inner regions, the core regions, and the forbidden regions.
In the outer regions, there were mainly Qi Refinement Demon Beasts and Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts.
If one was not careful and encountered a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast, they could only blame their bad luck.
However, if one encountered a Qi Refinement Demon Beast, one should not be happy, because one could also be killed.
For example, rabbits, rats, bees, and so on were considered the weak amongst Demon Beasts. Human cultivators at the first level of the Qi Refinement stage could easily kill them. However, when the number of Demon Beasts reached a few hundred, a few thousand, or even tens of thousands, even Zifu disciples would have to flee.
Swish swish!
Putting away the map, Lu Xuanji and Ye Feixue headed towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The Heavenly Silk robe on their bodies was changing colors, like a chameleon, perfectly fusing with the surrounding scenery. If one did not look carefully, one really would not be able to see them.
After walking for ten miles, they saw a stone tablet in the distance.
On the stone tablet were three big words, ‘Hundred Thousand Mountains’.
Near the stone tablet, there was a pile of skulls, looking ferocious and terrifying.
It was like a warning that as long as one took a step forward, they would enter Hell.
Lu Xuanji crossed the stone tablet and entered the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
When the Lu Clan existed, they could use spirit stones to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills. At most, they would pay a few generations of hard work to repay the clan for those pills.
However, after the Lu Clan was destroyed, they could not obtain Foundation Establishment Pills through the normal channels, they could only obtain them in a life and death struggle.
The moment they crossed the stone tablet, the phone sent out a warning.
[Ding dong. Be careful, host. At this moment, you are being targeted by a Nascent Soul stage demon.]
[Be careful, host. If a Nascent Soul stage demon so much as blows on you, you will die.]

[The Nascent Soul stage demon shifted his spiritual sense and no longer paid attention to you. Clearly, in the eyes of a Nascent Soul stage demon, you are just an insignificant insect on the ground. The Nascent Soul stage demon would not even bother to trample you to death.]
At this moment, a voice came from the phone.
Lu Xuanji was slightly shocked and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
Being weak had its benefits.
Tigers could hunt rabbits for food, but they would not kill the ants on the ground..
