Chapter 1400: Chapter 1371: The Girl on the Desolate Mountain
Perhaps Li Chen does not know much about the Celestial Demon Beasts and some realms that Cang Ku mentioned.
But he understands the power of the Mid Heaven Realm.
Back then, Ling Canghai also claimed to be a Mid Heaven Realm expert, and Ling Canghai’s strength left him shocked.
Li Chen is well aware that although he is now truly a Sky Approacher, back then he only caught Ling Canghai off guard with a sneak attack, and he was in an injured state.
Even if he were to fight Ling Canghai again now, he wouldn’t dare to speculate who would win in the end.
But now, is the strength of this so-called Celestial Demon Beast in front of him equivalent to a Mid Heaven Realm expert?
“But you’re quite lucky.” At this time, Cang Ku’s voice came again: “This Cloud Patterned Leopard seems to be just in its infancy, at most comparable to an average Sky Approacher. With your strength, it shouldn’t be too difficult to slay it.”
Upon hearing this, Li Chen felt slightly relieved, but facing the beast in front of him, he dared not be careless. As his pupils contracted, the Cloud Patterned Leopard had already pounced at him.
The speed was so fast that even he only felt a blur before his eyes.
“In a place like this, it can have such speed?” Li Chen’s expression suddenly changed.
Bearing in mind that here, he felt the gravity was at least ten times that of the Main World! If an ordinary person were here, they wouldn’t be able to walk; they’d be crushed into a pancake immediately. He had only come this far due to his strong cultivation and robust physical body.
But after just one day, he was so exhausted he didn’t want to move, yet the sudden burst of speed from the Cloud Patterned Leopard was even faster than when he previously unsheathed his sword!
“Clang!!”
A claw scraped across Li Chen’s Red Moon, sparking a blinding flash, and Li Chen’s body flew back again.
“If it were scorching heat or even great scorching heat, this claw might have torn a person to shreds directly.” Feeling the numbness in his hand, Li Chen’s gaze grew colder.
In the short exchange, he realized Cang Ku hadn’t lied; although this Cloud Patterned Leopard looked like a typical beast, apart from its slightly larger size, it wasn’t particularly noticeable, but its strength definitely approached that of the Behemoth from before.
“Unsheathing the sword!”
With a twist of his body, Li Chen suddenly slashed out, aiming at the Cloud Patterned Leopard that charged again.
The Cloud Patterned Leopard was struck by the attack and knocked back.
Li Chen’s steps moved in several bizarre angles, swiftly slipping and catching up with the Cloud Patterned Leopard in that brief moment.
“Wordless!”
“Crack!”
The Cloud Patterned Leopard’s body stiffened briefly and then collapsed softly.
On its neck, a long skinny wound appeared; Li Chen’s slash directly cut open the Cloud Patterned Leopard’s neck, blood splattering everywhere.
“Of course, it has this thing.” After messing around in front of the Cloud Patterned Leopard’s corpse for a while, Li Chen found a white, jade-like bead, which should be the Cloud Patterned Leopard’s Beast Pill.
“Skin it; this thing can fetch a good price.” Cang Ku reminded.
“A good price?” Li Chen was curious.
“You’ve just arrived in the Heaven Realm and don’t have a dime on you. Do you plan to stay here as a recluse?” Cang Ku said somewhat speechlessly.
Li Chen nodded: “That’s right, but what does the Heaven Realm use for money?”
“Of course, it uses Spirit Crystals; otherwise, do you think they print useless paper like you do?” Cang Ku said, speechless.
Scratching his head, Li Chen suddenly took out a stone: “Is it this thing?”
“Yes, this is a Spirit Crystal, but it’s the lowest-level Spirit Crystal.”
“If it’s this thing… I actually have some, probably a few hundred pieces.” Li Chen said.
“Where did you get these things, and where are they stored?” Cang Ku hurriedly asked.
But this time, Li Chen did not answer his question.
He vaguely felt that his cultivation method seemed somewhat different from others.
When forming the Power of the Five Elements, Li Chen’s True Qi became a cycle, and soon, Li Chen discovered his Power of Space.
After blending together the Power of the Five Elements and Power of Space, Li Chen strangely perceived a space.
Although he didn’t know why, he could indeed sense the existence of that space, as if it belonged to him personally, usable for storing items.
After discovering this space, Li Chen even threw his Red Moon and Heavenly Pearl into that space. Originally, his body could nourish the Heavenly Pearl and Red Moon, but oddly, he thought that doing so wasn’t good.
He had stumbled upon this space by accident, but back then, he told no one about it. Now, that space wasn’t empty; besides Spirit Crystals, Li Chen had also thrown many collected Herbs inside.
And those Spirit Crystals were collected by him in the past, later thrown into that space.
“Alright, let’s not talk about this now.” Li Chen waved his hand, ignoring Cang Ku, and focused on dealing with the Cloud Patterned Leopard.
This thing was not just to be sold; it was his dinner.
Oddly, at his level of strength, his need for food should not be significant, but after a day in the Heaven Realm, Li Chen found himself starving.
Seeing Li Chen didn’t respond further, Cang Ku stopped asking.
He knew Li Chen did not completely trust him; similarly, he had his own purpose for attaching to Li Chen, mainly not wanting to be casually crushed by Li Chen.
Li Chen needed his information, and he needed Li Chen to help him achieve certain goals.
Thus, they formed a certain tacit understanding and mutual use, but that had nothing to do with trust.
“Alright, let’s make do here for today.” Gathering some branches, Li Chen set up a simple grill and placed the cut Cloud Patterned Leopard meat on it, grilling it.
He was not doing this for the first time, hence seemed very skilled.
Soon, a rich aroma of grilled meat filled the air.
Just as Li Chen was about to eat, he suddenly frowned, looking toward the distant shrubs.
“Come out!”
As Li Chen shouted, the previously still bushes suddenly swayed gently a few times.
Soon after, a young girl with a somewhat tender face stepped out from the bushes.
Looking at the girl, Li Chen’s expression changed slightly.
Despite her young age and somewhat messy appearance, the girl was very beautiful.
The most important thing was that Li Chen sensed nothing from the girl.
Generally, there are two possibilities for this situation.
The first is that the person is just an ordinary person without cultivation.
The second is that the person’s cultivation far exceeds his own.
