About eight hundred miles away from Xinbo County was the Spirit Beast Forest. The original body had never been to the Spirit Beast Forest, so Ren Zhiling did not have any memories of the Spirit Beast Forest. She was looking forward to it.

The carriage traveled for a day and a night. At noon the next day, she arrived at the village closest to the Spirit Beast Forest.

Although it was called a village, it was more like a market.

There were people selling things, forming teams to hunt Spirit Beasts, and a lot of people were shouting together. It was very noisy.

Speaking of hunting Spirit Beasts, it was the fastest way for warriors in the Lingwu Continent to earn money. Even though they knew that it was a profession with the highest mortality rate, warriors still came one after the other.

There was no other reason other than the fact that each Beast Core of a Spirit Beast was very expensive.

Most of the warriors in the Lingwu Continent were commoners and did not have that much money to buy cultivation resources.

Forming teams to hunt Spirit Beasts could increase the survival rate to a certain extent. It was a pity that the loot could not be divided evenly, so killing people was common.

Ren Zhiling did not care about the noise around her and ordered the coachman to let the carriage go straight ahead.

The carriage traveled for another half an hour and arrived at the edge of the Spirit Beast Forest.

The carriage could not enter the forest, so Ren Zhiling asked the coachman to stop at the side. She then paid the money and walked into the forest alone.

The edge of the forest was mostly filled with low level Spirit Beasts. The closer to the center of the forest, the higher the level of the Spirit Beasts. Under normal circumstances, high level Spirit Beasts would not take the initiative to walk to the edge of the forest.

Spending the night in the forest was a very dangerous thing, but it was also a matter of luck for warriors to meet suitable Spirit Beasts.

In order to train Ren Zhiling's ability, Ling Danzi did not come out of the Lingzhu space. He only told Ren Zhiling to let him out if there was any danger.

The forest was very beautiful, but the more beautiful the place, the more dangerous it was. Ren Zhiling carefully walked into the forest.

The Scarlet Jade Flame Beasts usually liked to live in places with plenty of sunlight. They would hide before the sun went down and only come out to bask in the sun the next day when the sun was high.

Now was the time when the sun was at its brightest. Ren Zhiling hoped that she would be lucky enough to find the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast today. She did not want to spend the night in the forest.

However, perhaps Ren Zhiling's luck ran out after picking up the Lingzhu space, she did not see the shadow of the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast for three days.

Ren Zhiling found that her body couldn't take it anymore after three days of constant tension.

"Teacher, can I leave the forest and rest for a while?" Ren Zhiling asked Ling Danzi.

Ling Danzi pondered for a moment before replying, "Go to the village outside the forest and rest for a day."

"Miss Xie."

When they left the forest, the moon had quietly climbed to the top of the sky. Ren Zhiling casually found an inn to stay in.

The conditions of the inn were not good, but Ren Zhiling did not mind. She was content to have a safe environment for a good night's sleep.

Ren Zhiling took out some Xiao Zhu's Lingquan from the Lingzhu space and poured it into the bathtub. Then, she took a nice bath.

When she woke up the next day, Ren Zhiling was full of energy. After a simple breakfast, she left the inn and headed to the Spirit Beast Forest again.

She was actually a little hesitant about whether or not she should have taken Ling Danzi as her teacher.

She was a Buddhist girl. When she came to this world, she planned to grow spirit plants, refine pills, eat and drink, and live a carefree life.

But now … as a brittle alchemist, she had to enter the Spirit Beast Forest for a second time.

Forget it, she did not want to think about it. There was no point in thinking about it.

Casting aside these annoying thoughts, Ren Zhiling cautiously walked in the forest. Suddenly, she noticed that there was movement in front of her. A spirit beast was attacking her.

Most spirit beasts would not take the initiative to attack martial artists. However, there were also spirit beasts with bad tempers like the Hidden Poisonous Spider in front of her.

Ren Zhiling was just an ordinary girl. She also had the same weakness as ordinary girls. That was, she was afraid of insects.

Seeing the spider spitting poisonous silk at her, a Flaming Vine Whip suddenly appeared in Ren Zhiling's hand. Her eyes were full of disgust. With a swish, the Flaming Vine Whip in her hand whipped the spider away.

The Flaming Vine Whip was the innate ability that the original body had obtained from absorbing the first beast core — the Giant Flaming Vine.

This was the first time Ren Zhiling encountered a spirit beast that took the initiative to attack her. Fortunately, it was only a first rank spirit beast.

Following this, Ren Zhiling became more careful. Who knew if she would be so unlucky as to encounter another spirit beast that took the initiative to attack her.

Fortunately, her luck was not bad this time. In the afternoon, when the sun was full, she happened to encounter a Scarlet Jade Flame Beast that was basking in the sun.

The Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's entire body was blood red and its body was petite. The premise was that one had to ignore the small flames that came out of its nose every time it breathed.

In a direct confrontation, Ren Zhiling was definitely not a match for the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast. The flames on her Vine Whip were also not as strong as the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's.

Thus, she asked Ling Danzi for help.

Ling Danzi only wanted to train Ren Zhiling's ability. Knowing that it was impossible to let Ren Zhiling throw her life away, she did not hesitate to come out of the Lingzhu space.

Looking at the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast that was still basking in the sun and unaware of the danger, Ling Danzi only lightly flicked her finger. The Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's entire body was surrounded by flames.

The Scarlet Jade Flame Beast struggled in the flames, letting out heart-wrenching howls.

While Ren Zhiling was still in a daze, Ling Danzi said, "Lingling, use your Vine Whip to viciously whip the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's head."

Ren Zhiling quickly came back to her senses. A Flaming Vine Whip suddenly appeared in her hand. Then, she waved the Vine Whip in her hand and forcefully whipped the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast.

Ling Danzi saw that Ren Zhiling's expression showed that she could not bear to see the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast like this. He sighed and comforted her, "I know that you feel that the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast is very pitiful. However, no matter how harmless a spiritual beast looks, it is still ferocious. If I was not here today, the person surrounded by flames would be you."

Ren Zhiling nodded and said respectfully, "Teacher is right."

She was just not used to it. After all, she was not a native of the Lingwu Continent.

Ling Danzi still wanted to say something, but when she remembered that Ren Zhiling was still a little girl, she pursed her lips and did not say anything else. She waved her hand again and the flames on the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's body disappeared.

The Scarlet Jade Flame Beast lay on the ground, no longer breathing.

Ling Danzi said, "Go and take out the beast core. Also, put the spiritual beast's blood essence into this bottle."

After speaking, he handed a bottle to Ren Zhiling.

Ren Zhiling took the bottle and walked over to the Scarlet Jade Flame Beast's corpse with a serious expression.

After a while, Ren Zhiling endured the discomfort in her heart and returned to Ling Danzi's side with a pale face.

Seeing that Ren Zhiling had put away the beast core and spiritual beast's blood essence, Ling Danzi sighed again, "Your temperament is really not suitable for cultivation. Fortunately, you have a talent for alchemy."

Ren Zhiling did not say anything. She was still trying to endure the churning in her stomach.

In the modern era, she had never even killed a fish before. If she did not have the memories of her original body, she probably would not have dared to do it today.

Then, the two turned and walked back in the direction they came from. Ling Danzi did not mention the idea of returning to the Lingzhu space. It seemed that he saw that Ren Zhiling's condition was not right and was afraid that her consciousness would be injured by the spiritual beast.

After two hours, Ren Zhiling's expression finally improved. She said softly to Ling Danzi, "Thank you, Miss Xie."

Ling Danzi nodded proudly and then disappeared in front of Ren Zhiling's eyes.

After another two hours, Ren Zhiling suddenly saw a person not far in front of them. That person was lying on the ground and looked like he was seriously injured.

In the spiritual beast forest, many people would choose to kill and rob someone who was seriously injured. Even if there were martial artists who chose to save them, they might not be trusted by the injured person.

Ren Zhiling hesitated again and again, but still decided to go ahead and check it out.

When she was about three meters away from the man lying on the ground, she saw that the man suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment.

Ren Zhiling did not notice this trace of astonishment. She knew that the man was wary of her. She asked gently, "Do you need my help?"

Under these circumstances, it was normal for the man to be wary of her. She thought that if the man did not need her help, she would just leave him a healing pill and leave.

But she did not expect that the man would actually say, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Ren Zhiling: "…" He really was not afraid of death.

Since the man was not afraid that she would hurt him, then she had nothing to worry about. She quickly walked forward and took out a healing pill from her storage ring. She was about to hand it to the man.

But the man in front of her opened his mouth very naturally and said in an apologetic voice, "Miss, I can't move right now. I'm sorry for the offense."

Ren Zhiling did not suspect anything and directly threw the pill into the man's mouth. She then asked, "What else do you need me to do?"

The man was not polite at all. He used his eyes to signal Ren Zhiling to look in the other direction.

Ren Zhiling followed his gaze and saw that there were two dead spiritual beasts on the ground not too far away.

Perhaps it was because he had eaten the pill, but the man's voice did not sound as weak as before. He said, "I'll have to trouble you to help me extract the spiritual beast core and blood essence."

Ren Zhiling: "…"

She regretted it. What was going on? She had just recovered …

Ren Zhiling did not want to help, but once the spiritual beasts had been dead for too long, the coagulated blood essence in their bodies could no longer be extracted.

She sighed faintly. She realized that ever since she came to this spiritual beast forest, nothing good had happened to her.

With no other choice, Ren Zhiling stood up and walked towards the spiritual beasts with heavy steps.
