Zhen was tempted by the 200,000 Dollar reward, but even though he was already at the Tenth Stage of the Qi Master Realm, he still thought it was too difficult.
Maybe the prisoners were only guarded by disciples in the Qi Master Realm, but their number surely wasn't small. Killing them would cause many sect seniors to hunt him down.
Still, he wanted to watch, so he followed the crowd to the city park.
News of this seemed to have spread widely. When he arrived at the park, Zhen found many players gathered around a group of people there.
He couldn't see clearly because some people were simply too tall.
Relying on his cultivation, he could naturally slip to the front easily by pushing most people aside.
Then, he saw about five people—three of them were still young, consisting of two young men and a beautiful woman in her 30s, while the other two were an old man and a middle-aged man.
Zhen couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the woman in her 30s, who looked extremely stunning in a simple white dress and long flowing black hair. Her slightly pale white skin seemed to glow.
'Lin Qingxue? What is she doing here?' Zhen wondered.
The woman was Lin Qingxue, whom he had just met in his class and the university canteen.
These five people should be from the Miao Family, yet Lin Qingxue bore the surname Lin.
'Unless her mother is from the Miao Family?'
Zhen suspected as much, as he had once heard that Lin Qingxue's mother came from a super-rich family in Hong Kong.
If that's the case, then the granddaughter Miao Yu mentioned was likely Lin Qingxue.
Zhen saw that the people who wanted to exchange their Spirit Coins would hand them to Lin Qingxue, while the two young men were in charge of transferring the money.
The people he followed didn't need to ask for a price increase anymore, as it had already risen to 2 Dollars per coin from the initial 1 Dollar.
This was inevitable, and it seemed that the Miao Family had no other choice as long as they could gather Spirit Coins.
'Really, going this far just to save that old woman. Hmm, unless her character has some special uniqueness?' Zhen thought.
'What!?'
He was surprised again because even though they were among a crowd, Lin Qingxue had actually noticed him, even though she didn't intentionally look his way at first.
Just like him, Lin Qingxue also looked surprised, then she appeared to frown slightly.
Zhen felt uncomfortable—meeting her here only gave him an awkward sensation, so he turned and left.
"Boy, that beautiful woman has a remarkable innate body," Golden Crow suddenly said.
"What's an innate body?" asked Zhen, unfamiliar with the term since he had only studied scriptures and techniques so far.
"It's a talent, or you could say, a divine gift possessed by some individuals. According to my detection, she has the Heavenly Light Body, an extremely rare physique capable of turning into light. You know, the virginity of women with such innate bodies usually provides great benefits to the man who takes it. And the virginity of someone with the Heavenly Light Body is said to give a man the greatest transformation in his life..." Golden Crow explained.
Zhen couldn't help but roll his eyes at the mention of female virginity.
Lin Qingxue had dated him for quite a while, and he had taken her virginity, so she was no longer a virgin—unless this game had given every player a virgin body.
Zhen shook his head before walking away.
What he wanted now was to raise his cultivation to the Next Stage, but he wanted a quicker method than cultivating for hours just to gather 10,000 Qi.
'I need to find Level 11 Beasts, kill a few, and gather their Spirit Cores which I can use to buy Flowing Qi Pills that directly boost my cultivation,' he thought.
He had been able to kill a Level 11 Beast back when he was at the Eighth Stage. Now that he was at the Tenth Stage, he was confident it would be easy.
Without delay, he headed out of the city and used his flying sword, flying over the vast farmlands surrounding the city before entering the forest once again.
"Are you going hunting?" Golden Crow, who was following him, asked.
"Yes," replied Zhen. "Oh right, can you detect the presence of strong beasts?" he asked.
"Of course I can. My bloodline is noble—capable enough to suppress other bloodlines once I awaken my cultivation. Even now, I can sense the presence of many beasts through their bloodlines," Golden Crow replied confidently.
"Follow me, I'll show you a nest of beasts—all of them quite powerful," it added, returning to its normal size before flying ahead of Zhen.
Zhen followed behind it, heading into an area where the forest was so thick and the trees so tall that passing through was difficult. He even had to cut his way forward.
Fortunately, the obstacles were only dense branches. He didn't encounter any monsters along the path.
After passing through, he was stunned by a wide-open area in the middle of the forest where there was an enormous lake.
From where he stood, the forest on the other side of the lake looked small, but that was clearly because it was too far away.
What was amazing was the sight of many giant red fish leaping above the lake, ranging in length from 10 to 50 meters.
DING!
(Angry Red Fish Level 7, Equivalent to a 7th Stage Qi Master Realm Cultivator!)
(Angry Red Fish Level 9, Equivalent to a 9th Stage Qi Master Realm Cultivator!)
(Angry Red Fish Level 10, Equivalent to a 10th Stage Qi Master Realm Cultivator!)
(Angry Red Fish Level 11, Equivalent to a 1st Stage Earth Master Realm Cultivator!)
Zhen received notification after notification.
The fish that were 50 meters long seemed to be the Level 11 Angry Red Fish. They were smaller than the Level 11 Ancient Forest Serpent, which was over 100 meters long, but these fish were about 30 meters wide.
Moreover, Zhen saw three fish that were each 50 meters long.
Who knew how many more were beneath the lake?
There might even be ones larger than those.
"Hehehe, so, Boy, do you dare now?" Golden Crow asked with a laugh.
"Even with your incredible power thanks to your Dragon Qi, fighting a large number of beasts is still too dangerous for you," it added.
"Hmph, you'll see just how capable I am," Zhen replied, flying straight toward the lake without the slightest hesitation.
