I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

They traveled through the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain for several days.

Su Changming discovered a terrifying fact: he was lost.

"Could it be that I didn't distinguish the directions?"

Su Changming's expression was rather unpleasant.

Having used too much sword intent previously, it was indeed somewhat depleting of one's spiritual sense, which explains the confusion about direction.

"You beast, cease your disorderly conduct!"

Suddenly, the sounds of fighting broke out.

Upon hearing this, Su Changming immediately used his Cloud Body technique to flee towards the direction of the sound.

After these days of rest, his injuries have mostly healed.

It wouldn't be a problem for him to fight against a typical Qi Refining Perfection cultivator.

So when he heard the noise, his first thought wasn't that the other party would harm him, but rather that he was overjoyed.

"Hmm? What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

As he approached, Su Changming switched to walking. Upon getting closer, he discovered that the group consisted of three men and two women, who were expertly dealing with the corpses of the demonic beasts.

After examining their attire, it was discovered that one of the group was an outer disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, while the rest were likely independent cultivators.

The male cultivator who was in the lead asked Su Changming warily as he approached.

The male cultivator with the highest cultivation level was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and Su Changming could easily take his life with a single spell.

"Greetings, everyone. I am also a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect. This is my first time entering the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain to hunt beasts, and I have unfortunately lost my way."

Su Changming cupped his hands and said.

"So you got lost... You're quite skilled and daring, daring to venture deep into the Beast Mountain alone."

One of the female cultivators, who looked somewhat young, spoke up.

"Since you're lost, why don't you join us? We've almost finished hunting the beasts."

Upon hearing that Su Changming was a disciple of the Liuyun Sect, the leading man nodded.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain is located near the Flowing Cloud Sect, so it's perfectly normal to encounter disciples of the Flowing Cloud Sect there.

The only abnormal thing is that the other party dared to venture deep into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain all by himself.

He simply assumed the other party was arrogant because he came from the Liuyun Sect.

"Hey, what's your name? My name is Zhao Ling'er."

The female cultivator who had spoken earlier walked over happily and asked when Su Changming joined in.

"My name is Li Ming."

Su Changming made up a name at random.

At this moment, his face was unremarkable, far less attractive than his usual appearance, yet the female cultivator remained so friendly, suggesting she was naturally outgoing.

"Li Ming? That's such a common name..."

Zhao Ling'er pouted.

"Ling'er, how can you so casually slander someone's name?"

Another woman in the group couldn't help but speak up.

She wore a light blue dress, looked exquisite, and had a certain elegance.

"Sister Yu, I was just saying it casually~"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ling'er covered her mouth and laughed.

As for the owner of the name, Su Changming, he had no complaints.

After all, it was a name I made up on the spot, and it was indeed a rather common name; in my previous life, nine out of ten textbooks used the name Li Ming.

"Fellow Daoist, are you cultivating under a manager in the outer sect?"

"The leader of the Flowing Cloud Sect disciples asked."

"Manager? I am an inner disciple, cultivating at the foot of Purple Bamboo Peak."

Su Changming shook his head upon hearing this.

Outer disciples who are promoted from menial tasks are generally required to work under the steward. This serves two purposes: firstly, it helps with the sect's production, and secondly, it provides these disciples with resources for their cultivation.

However, Su Changming, being a member of a clan, came to the Liuyun Sect with a letter of recommendation, but was not assigned a position.

The original owner originally planned to find a manager to work for after the resources were used up.

However, he died one day after making a mistake while practicing his internal energy, and Su Changming's soul transmigrated into his body.

"Fellow Daoist is actually an inner disciple?!"

The disciple from the Flowing Cloud Sect was immediately startled upon hearing this.

To become a disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect, one must at least reach the late stage of Qi Refining cultivation, and also have a certain level of strength to support them; otherwise, it will be difficult to defeat those family members who practice their family's inherited techniques.

Unexpectedly, this "unremarkable" fellow was actually an inner disciple of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

"Fellow Daoist, my name is Xiang Xian. I often hunt beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain. If needed in the future, we can travel together."

Upon hearing that Su Changming was an inner disciple of the Liuyun Sect, the group, who were not particularly fond of him before, suddenly became uneasy.

"My name is Jiang Wei!"

Everyone began to introduce themselves, afraid of displeasing Su Changming.

This is the difference that comes from strength and status.

Even without revealing his strength, Su Changming's mere status as an inner disciple of the Liuyun Sect was enough to command the utmost respect from these low-level cultivators.

"Ling'er, why aren't you apologizing to your fellow cultivator...?"

The woman whom Zhao Ling'er called Sister Yu hurriedly spoke.

Zhao Ling'er wasn't oblivious to the gravity of the situation; she quickly and humbly apologized, fearing that what she had just done might have displeased Su Changming.

"It's alright, my name is indeed very ordinary. Fellow Daoist Zhao is just stating the facts."

Su Changming waved his hand, appearing completely unconcerned.

Seeing that Su Changming was easy to get along with, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the atmosphere remained somewhat somber throughout the journey.

Even when they speak, they only say things that are necessary.

Seeing this, Su Changming couldn't help but sigh slightly.

This is the true face of the cultivation world.

Even within the Flowing Cloud Sect, the status gap between high-level and low-level cultivators is significant enough.

In the outside world, the situation is completely different.

After all, it's not uncommon for someone to accidentally offend a high-level cultivator and be killed.

Therefore, the first thought of a low-level cultivator when facing a high-level cultivator is to curry favor.

"Senior Brother Li, this is a fox demon that we killed together a few days ago. After dissecting it, we found that it had actually condensed a demon core. Although it is not yet fully formed, it must be extraordinary. Since it has been gathering dust in our hands, we are giving it to you."

Jiang Wei took out a broken yellow demon core from his storage bag and presented it as if it were a treasure.

The others were somewhat dissatisfied upon seeing this, after all, this was the spoils they had jointly obtained, and this guy had simply offered it up to this inner disciple.

I should have known better than to let him keep the spoils...

"This thing..."

Su Changming took the demon core, his expression shifting in shock.

[Fox Demon Core (Incomplete): Contains Yin and Yang energies, possessing the effects of accelerating cultivation and healing injuries.]

I never imagined that even the inner core of a demon beast could be appraised.

He had always believed that living things could not be identified and upgraded.

So I didn't think of it as a monster.

But now that I think about it...

Once a monster dies, doesn't it become an inanimate object?

So wouldn't the valuable parts of them be available for him to appraise and upgrade?

These past few days I've been concealing my presence and haven't fought any demonic beasts, but I've lost quite a few resources...

"This item is quite good. I won't treat you unfairly, so I'll give you two spirit stones."

Su Changming pondered for a moment before speaking.

Jiang Wei was initially excited upon hearing this, but his expression froze when he heard that there were only two spirit stones.
