I Can Extract Everything

"Since it's a contest issued out by the Xu Clan, that means this information is already known by everyone, right? Don't you think you're making an effortless profit here?"

The middle-aged man choked at Qin Yi's words and explained.

"Although the contest to heal the Eldest Lady of Xu Clan is open to the public, only a few people know that the Eldest Lady of Xu Clan has a Mystic Beast egg in her hands."

Qin Yi received the answer doubtfully and asked again.

"How can you be sure that the egg is a Mystic Beast egg?"

He already had seen what the Mystic Beast egg looked like. They look no different from ordinary Magical Beast eggs. In fact, they are plainer and it is difficult to judge whether it is a Mystic Beast egg or just regular Magical Beast egg from their outside appearance alone.

"Oh brother, you are underestimating the Myriad Beast Sect too much. They are basically a group of people who are proficient at taming beasts. Naturally, they excel in distinguishing which are Magical Beast eggs, Mystic Beast eggs, and even Divine Beast eggs."

When he mentioned the Myriad Beast Sect's name, his expression was full of awe and longing.

Qin Yi couldn't refute this middle-aged man's words.

The Myriad Beast Sect's strength depended on their tamed beasts. They are not only proficient in terms of taming, but they are also good at identifying anything related to beasts.

Therefore, identifying the Mystic Beast eggs is not impossible for them.

Qin Yi looked at the middle-aged man sitting in front of him and asked another question.

"What about the other Mystic Beast-related information?"

"It also came from the Myriad Beast Sect. I heard that the Sect Master of the Myriad Beast Sect also has a Mystic Beast. As for what kind it is, I'm not quite clear. However, from what I heard, he holds his Mystic Beast very dearly to the point he doesn't allow others to touch or even see it."

Qin Yi nodded after listening to this.

In the end, everything revolved around the Myriad Beast Sect.

If he wanted to collect Mystic Beasts, he should at least go to the Myriad Beast Sect's site.

However, he's not in a hurry. For now, going to that place could only be his next goal after he had finished all his unfinished business.

Besides, he also needed to accumulate many Cultivation Points and increase his cultivation base before he decided to set a journey.

"Any other information?"

"That's all. The existence of Mystic Beasts is sporadic and it is very difficult to lock in their whereabouts, let alone collect their information." The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders.

Qin Yi didn't say anything else as he immediately paid the remaining unpaid payment and left the Black Crow Tavern.

After that, he did not stay in the city for too long for fear that Li Hai would catch him off guard like the last time.

Hence, he decided to leave the city immediately, but he did not return to the sect right away. Instead, he wanted to go somewhere to experiment since he still had some free time before going to Spirit Flower Mountain.

It had been more than two and a half years since Qin Yi officially plunged into the cultivation world and started his life as a cultivator. Even though his cultivation base had already reached the Fifth Stage of Qi Condensation Realm, he realized that he had no experience in fighting except for the time when he faced Lu Yun.

However, it was hardly considered actual fighting.

Even though he wasn't particularly fond of fighting, it is a necessary skill to learn in order to survive in this world as a cultivator.

Therefore, he might as well try to gain some experience fighting and new techniques so that he could reach his full potential.

However, real battle skills are hard to obtain. Qin Yi couldn't casually just pick a fight with other fellow disciples like a fool.

Thankfully, he didn't have to fight with an actual person to experience real fighting. There were many Magical Beasts in this world for that matter.

Since Magical Beasts could actively or passively train themselves like humans, they were classified into different ranks: Rank 1 Beasts are comparable to the Qi Condensation Realm. However, if they mature early, their strength is close to the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Rank 2 is comparable to the Foundation Establishment Realm; Rank 3 is comparable to Core Formation Realm; Rank 4 is comparable to the Golden Core Realm; Rank 5 is comparable to Nascent Soul Realm, and higher are extremely rare in this world and they would only appear in those deep ancient forests or up high in the mountains.

Fighting against a Magical Beast is not as easy as people would expect. On the Contrary, Magical Beasts are more powerful than human beings. However, as long as your strength is higher than them, you'll have a higher chance of defeating them.

With that in mind, Qin Yi decided to go to the Desolate Hills. That area is always filled with some low-rank Magical Beasts around.

Since he never went there personally, using Void Jump was out of option. Hence, he could only walk there.

The Desolate Hills is in the western part of Ancient Dragon Mountain, and it is not far from the foot of the sleeping Dragon Mountain. Sect disciples usually went to that area to hone their fighting skills and experience life and death situations.

Qin Yi climbed down to the bottom of the mountain, and after finding the right direction, he sped up.

Around an hour later, he arrived at the entrance of Desolate Hills, where he started to sight a Rank 1 Magical Beast.

Normally, an ordinary Qi Condensation Realm would never dare to come to this kind of dangerous place. Even Qin Yi was quite cautious about his surroundings. Fortunately, he is wearing the Hidden Night Cloak so that that beast couldn't notice his arrival.

Silently stalking forward, Qin Yi recognized the Magical Beast. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be a Rank 1 Poison Saw-Toothed Tiger; its power is equivalent to a middle-stage of the Qi Condensation Realm cultivator.

Its teeth carried a deadly poison that, once touched, would cause your skin to decay and can only be cured by a single antidote; otherwise, once the poison spread to your heart, even a late-stage of Qi Condensation Realm cultivator would lose their life.

He soon found a tall tree and climbed it up.

Everyone has their own way of fighting.

Meanwhile, Qin Yi's way of fighting is by hiding in hidden places that provide a great view to lock onto his target with his deadly arrow. After all, this is how a Hunter hunts.

Squatting on a tree branch, he began to pull the bowstring. Within a few breaths, he finally let it go.

Shoot!

The arrow shot straight to the Saw-Toothed Tiger, but it was unexpectedly able to dodge it.

"As expected, Magical Beasts have greater instincts than humans." 

As Qin Yi mumbled silently, he jumped from tree to tree while looking for a suitable place for the next shooting spot.

The Saw-Toothed Tiger was immediately alerted by the sudden attack. It looked around and found no one. It was flustered but it didn't dare to lower its guard.

However, when it heard a whooshing sound from behind, it reflexively jumped to the side and successfully dodged the second arrow.

Even though it had low intelligence, out of its instinct, it realized that if it stayed still, sooner or later, it would be shot dead by the arrow.

Therefore, it started running while tracking that hateful shooter.

"Great!"

With the Poison Saw-Toothed Tiger's speed like this, he could train his arrow skills with all his heart.

A few minutes later, Qin Yi finally managed to shoot it. Though, he didn't hit it dead.

He just shot its thigh and weakened it with the [Weak] power from the PowerBox.

Since they have no grudge, there's no point for Qin Yi to kill this Magical Beast. Whether it was life or death, it made no difference in his eyes.

His primary purpose in coming here is to hone his fighting skills and conduct some experiments on living things.

Qin Yi walked over to the Poison Saw-Toothed Tiger, and it let out a faint roar when it saw the culprit appear.

It felt grieved and wronged because it suffered injustice due to something it hasn't done.

Qin Yi squatted down by the Poison Saw-Toothed Tiger and pinched his chin.

'It seems that even Magical Beasts are not immune to the power of the PowerBox.'

Even though he had already tried it on the Willow Tree before, it was a consumable power as he couldn't bear to experiment with it using negative powers such as [Weak], [Confusion], and so on.

Hence, he could only find another guinea pig.

Noticing the big cat's pitiful look, he reassuringly said.

"Don't worry, I didn't put too much power on your wound. You'll get better soon."

If it was a human, it might take half a day to recover to its peak state. However, since it was a Magical Beast, it would only take an hour to recover.

After that, Qin Yi performed an extraction on it.
