Yunying took in all the changes in everyone's expressions and shook her head inwardly.
Seeing that Jiang Che's expression was calm and he seemed quite interested, not at all frightened by the gloomy atmosphere around him, he felt a little relieved.
Without thinking much, Yun Ying stood with her gun in hand, surveyed everyone present, and spoke loudly.
"Now that we've reached our destination, it's time for you to split up and hunt down the monsters."
"The beasts active on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Mountains are mostly first- or second-tier monsters; there shouldn't be too much danger..."
"Remember, don't leave this forest, don't venture too far into the heart of the forest!"
"A first-tier monster's core can be exchanged for ten points, and a second-tier monster's core can be exchanged for twenty points..."
"The spirit boat will stay here for the next three days."
"Your task is to obtain enough monster cores within these three days!"

020: The Arrogant Yun Ying Begins the Hunt! (Please give flowers and add to your favorites!)
After Yunying finished giving her instructions, everyone dispersed.
The forest was extremely vast, with lush and verdant foliage that seemed to stretch endlessly. It was home to a considerable number of demonic beasts, more than enough to sustain the ten travelers on their mission.
Jiang Che's figure flickered a few times and quickly disappeared into the dense forest, heading deeper into the forest.
"Elders, I entrust the care of this disciple to you..."
After Jiang Che left, Yun Ying looked at the two white-bearded old men not far away, her tone slightly respectful.
Both of them are elders of the academy and protectors who safeguard these new disciples.
Considering that the disciples who came to train this time were all newcomers, Yun Ying invited these two elders.
"Miss Yun, rest assured, these are all our duties..."
One of the elders stroked his gray beard and smiled faintly.
Although Yunying was also a disciple of the academy, he dared not act arrogantly because of his seniority.
After all, Yun Ying was the eldest daughter of the prestigious Yun family, and her status was far higher than theirs.
Having received the assurance, Yun Ying didn't say anything more. In a flash, she had already climbed to the top of the towering tree.
His gaze swept around the dense forest, and he quickly determined Jiang Che's approximate location.
"You're pretty fast, aren't you..."
Seeing that Jiang Che had traveled dozens of miles in just a short time, Yun Ying was somewhat surprised.
Ordinary Qi Refining stage cultivators do not possess such speed and agility; even some ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot achieve this.
"I'm a woman of my word..."
"Since I promised to protect you, I certainly won't go back on my word!"
Yun Ying muttered something, then transformed into a streak of light and chased after Jiang Che's location.
………………
After entering the dense forest and wandering around for about fifteen minutes, Jiang Che encountered the first demonic beast of his journey.
It was a porcupine, huge in size with sharp tusks, leisurely drinking water from a stream.
Judging from the aura emanating from it, Jiang Che quickly came to a conclusion.
It is a late-stage second-tier demon beast, equivalent to a human cultivator at around the seventh level of Qi Refining.
They are at a lower level than me and pose no threat whatsoever.
Very well, little piggy, you're doomed now that you've met me!
Let the hunt begin today!
Jiang Che's gaze was intense, and he seemed eager to try.
He had been cultivating for nearly a month, but he had never fought anyone before. His usual sparring with Ali was always just a friendly exchange.
Now we finally have the chance to have a great, satisfying battle!
The porcupine, which was drinking water from the river with its head down, suddenly shivered and sensed a deep malice. It instinctively looked toward the dense forest path.
He then saw a human cultivator staring intently at him, as if he were already his for the taking.
Although second-tier demonic beasts are not particularly intelligent, they have developed sentience and naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Che's gaze.
"Roar!"
The wild boar was furious, and in its anger, it lashed out.
Since it gained sentience and began cultivating, it has always been the overlord of the surrounding area. When has it ever been so looked down upon?
The human cultivator's gaze had thoroughly enraged it, and it was determined to teach him a lesson.
and……
It has been a long time since it tasted the wonderful flavors of human food...
Monster meat is an extremely nourishing food for cultivators, and it is very beneficial to their cultivation.
Conversely, the flesh of human cultivators is also a great tonic for demonic beasts.
"Roar!"
A greedy, bloodthirsty glint flashed in the wild boar demon's eyes. With a roar, its massive body charged directly at Jiang Che!
With each step, he covered ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), and in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Jiang Che.
As it stomped its hooves, the earth began to shake violently.
"Well done!"
With a thought, Jiang Che retrieved the Qiu Li Sword from his system space, a golden glint flashing in his eyes.
With a flash, he easily dodged the boar demon's attack, and then used the Qingfeng Sword Technique to launch a continuous barrage of attacks on the boar demon.
"Breaking Sword Style!"
"Sky-Piercing Strike!"
The cold and domineering sword energy overflowed, its sharpness fully revealed. The sword light pierced through the air, tearing through the void, and relentlessly attacking the wild boar demon's rough skin.
"Roar!"
The boar demon's massive body was swept away by the sword energy, and it roared wildly from its snout, launching a relentless and aimless attack on Jiang Che.
With his agile movements, Jiang Che easily dodged a series of attacks from the wild boar demon.
Suddenly leaping into the air, sword in hand, a chilling sword beam over ten zhang long hurtled towards the wild boar demon with lightning speed!
The sword light pierced the air, dazzling and imposing, carrying an unparalleled momentum, causing ripples to spread through the surrounding air.
The wild boar demon's pupils suddenly dilated, its hair trembled all over its body, and fear and unease filled its heart.
It knew that if it were to be blasted to death by this sword energy, it would truly die!
The wild boar demon turned to flee, but before it could make a move, a chilling sword light had already swept past its body.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, a cloud of dust and stones billowed up, the earth shook violently, the rocks trembled, and the boar demon's enormous body lay stiffly on the ground, lifeless.
Once the dust had settled, Jiang Che walked up to the wild boar demon, used his sword to cut open its abdomen, and with a grab from a distance, the crystal core enveloped in spiritual energy appeared in Jiang Che's hand.

021: Fellow Daoist, your magical power is truly boundless! (Please give me flowers and add this to your favorites!)
Holding the crystal core in his hand, Jiang Che examined it for a moment, and then stored it along with the boar demon's corpse into the system space.
Having done all this, Jiang Che did not stop, but continued deeper into the forest.
You can hand over the crystal cores to earn points, and the boar spirit's corpse shouldn't be wasted either. Go back and have someone cook it; it will definitely taste delicious.
After all, it was a wild boar spirit that had cultivated to a high level, and it was naturally incomparable to an ordinary wild boar.
"This guy is interesting..."
"Your swordsmanship is quite good..."
Perched on a branch of a large tree, Yun Ying gazed at Jiang Che's departing figure with her arms crossed, quite intrigued.
She witnessed the entire battle between Jiang Che and the wild boar demon; she saw everything.
Although Yun Ying knew that this wild boar demon was no match for Jiang Che, she thought that Jiang Che would have to put in a lot of effort to hunt it down, since demonic beasts are physically very strong and it would be difficult for cultivators of the same level to gain an advantage.
To Yun Ying's surprise, Jiang Che had defeated the wild boar demon in just ten moves.
As the eldest daughter of the Yun family, Yun Ying naturally possessed exceptional knowledge and immediately recognized that Jiang Che had just used the Qingfeng Sword Technique stored in the academy's scripture pavilion.
As far as she knew, Jiang Che had only been a member of the academy for a few days.
In just a few days, he mastered a sword technique to the point of perfection.
This guy's swordsmanship talent is truly terrifying; he can definitely be called a prodigy!
Seeing Jiang Che's figure getting further and further away, Yun Ying stopped thinking about anything else and quickly caught up with him.
………………
Jiang Che spent the entire afternoon wandering around the forest, searching for traces of monsters.
In one afternoon, Jiang Che hunted down five second-tier demonic beasts and three first-tier demonic beasts, which was enough points for him to earn.
But Jiang Che showed no intention of stopping.
One hundred points are only used to exchange for monthly cultivation resources. Jiang Chezhi is not interested in that. What he is really interested in are the many divine skills and secret manuals in the Scripture Pavilion.
To borrow the cultivation techniques from the Scripture Pavilion, one needs to earn a massive amount of points, which Jiang Che is far from having enough.
