Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

Several three-foot-long "Soul-Shocking Thorns" appeared outside Zhang Feng's body. He held the Black Shadow Sword in his right hand, while blood gushed from his left hand, converging into the "Blood Demon Slash".

Zhang Feng waited quietly for the Fang family father and son to emerge from below.

Although Master Zhang Guihe was unwilling to discuss the past, it can be seen from the fact that the Fang father and son subsequently obtained the positions of island lord and deputy lord of Suihan Island:

These two individuals contributed significantly to the fight against the beast tide during the previous battles fought by their master, father, and grandmaster.

Due to pressure from the two of them, the master had no choice but to take the spirit stones and stand on the front line against this beast tide.

If it weren't for the Level 6 Yinming Beast and the Ghost Mist, these two would probably have already planned to exert the same "force" as forty years ago.

Fortunately, this place is a dark and gloomy place, and Zhang Feng is a second-level peak cultivator of soul and body refinement.

Only then did they have the confidence to fight against a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation and a cultivator in the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Whoosh!

Upon seeing the two, Zhang Feng gave them no time to react and immediately launched a sneak attack.

Several "Soul-Shocking Spikes" were aimed at the two and fired simultaneously, while the "Blood Demon Slash" in his left hand was already unleashed.

Zhang Feng landed on both feet and leaped high into the air!

"Oh no! Watch out, someone's already reached the summit!"

Feng Xianghan, who had just peeked out from below, saw a burly man with a sword descending from above and couldn't help but shout a warning.

"What?!"

Feng Zhengxing was startled, his eyes just focusing on what was above.

Pfft!

The Blood Demon Slash cleaved their bodies in two, the sword flashing as their heads flew high into the air; the Soul-Shocking Thrust then pierced their bodies completely, silently erasing their souls.

Sever the body, behead, annihilate the soul.

All in one go.

Boom!

Zhang Feng landed on the head of the flying Yin Beast, his arm moving swiftly to snatch the backpacks from the two men's backs before their corpses could fall.

Then, Zhang Feng stomped on the flying Yin Beast's head and used the rebound force to jump back to the summit.

Haha, I made it!

After receiving the two backpacks, Zhang Feng couldn't help but feel excited as he opened them.

The backpack contained a large number of magical artifacts and treasures, as well as storage bags.

It turns out that the two of them took away all the relics of the cultivators in Hongtu Village.

However, after going around in circles, it still ended up back in Zhang Feng's hands.

With the battle over, Zhang Feng began the long wait for the spatial rift to open.

During this time, Zhang Feng could calculate his gains from this trip.

First, the experience panel:

Name: Zhang Feng

【灵根天赋：水（54/100）、火（21/100）、土（25/100）、木（25/100）】

[Cultivation Level: Late Foundation Establishment (500/1) (Sealed) Peak of Second-Order Body Refinement (&) Peak of Second-Order Soul Refinement (&)]

【功法：琅水真元诀（&）冥王诀（精通1/100）万法剑诀（精通1/100）御妖术（入门50/100）】

[Spells: Water Escape Technique (&), Object Manipulation Technique (&), Shadow Step (&), Blood Demon Slash (&), Soul-Shocking Thrust (&), Soul Sensing Technique (&), Soul Fixing Technique (&), Soul Refining Technique (&)]

[Skills: Fishing and Hunting (&) Swordsmanship (Proficiency 1/100)]

[Supernatural Ability: Blood Demon Body (Mastery 30/100)]

In terms of cultivation: By consuming the corpses of demonic beasts, Zhang Feng pushed his body refinement to the peak of the second-tier body refinement, just one step away from reaching the third-tier body refinement.

The same applies to soul refinement; the large number of soul beads directly caused Zhang Feng's soul refinement to rise sharply, reaching the peak of the second-tier soul refinement.

In terms of cultivation techniques: The "Ten Thousand Laws Sword Art" was not something that could be practiced in the Yin-Yang Land, but because Zhang Feng used the Shadow Sword to exchange moves with the Yin Beast, he learned the sword skills and even got started.

In the following period, Zhang Feng deliberately worked hard to improve his sword skills, directly reaching the proficiency level, which led to a chain reaction that resulted in him mastering the "Ten Thousand Laws Sword Technique".

By contracting two star-shaped frogs, Zhang Feng successfully mastered the basics of "Demon Control Techniques".

In terms of techniques: Zhang Feng completed all the techniques that came with the "Underworld King's Manual" in the Underworld, and he worked on them to perfection.

Perhaps because the techniques were more advanced, they generated more spiritual root points than ordinary techniques. The six perfect techniques provided nearly twelve points of spiritual root talent, which were all allocated to the spiritual root of Zhang Feng's main cultivation technique.

This immediately brought Zhang Feng's water elemental root talent to fifty-four points.

In terms of technique: he learned sword skills and improved his proficiency in sword techniques in a chain reaction.

Regarding supernatural abilities: Zhang Feng had mastered the Blood Demon Body technique, but because he dared not suffer fatal injuries, the progress of gaining experience with this method was still too slow.

The gains in resources are even greater.

Submerged water: Zhang Feng filled nearly 100 jin (50 kg) of it with an animal skin water bag.

Zhang Feng kept thirty second-tier Yin-Yang Beast Crystals. Although Zhang Feng unilaterally voided his agreement with Wan Qing, he would inevitably be questioned. Before breaking through to the Core Formation stage, it was better to have some in reserve.

Nearly a hundred Tier 3 Netherworld Beast Crystals were stored inside Xiao Qing's belly.

Nearly fifty fourth-tier Yin-Yang Beast Crystals were placed inside Xiao Qing's belly.

Regarding the Soul Beads: Zhang Feng and the two Horned Star Frogs ate all the ordinary first and second level Yinming Beast Soul Beads, leaving only one hundred third level Yinming Beast Soul Beads and fifty fourth level Yinming Beast Soul Beads.

There are also various relics of cultivators obtained from the Fang family father and son. Since we lack spiritual power, we cannot open them and their value is currently unknown, but we imagine they are quite numerous.

In addition, there were the monster materials obtained from hunting in the open sea.

Zhang Feng is now incredibly wealthy, more than enough to support his Core Formation.

After you get out, find a safe place to slowly sell off these items, then go into seclusion to cultivate and break through to the Core Formation stage in one fell swoop.

……

Ugh!

About a month later, a spatial rift opened in the sky above the peak, breaking the abyss of spiritual energy and restoring spiritual power. Zhang Feng quickly packed his bags, putting all his items into his storage bag, and storing Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong into his spirit beast bag.

Using the Yin-Yang Pearl given to him by Wan Qing to determine the direction, Zhang Feng exerted his strength and flew towards the spatial rift after a surge of gravity.

Inside the space tunnel, Zhang Feng felt a strong gravitational pull coming from behind him, as if it wanted to keep him there.

With the sudden exertion of his second-stage body refinement, Zhang Feng activated "Shadow Step" and, using the help of the broken rocks in the space, broke free from the gravity behind him and quickly approached the space exit.

Boom!

As if breaking free from a clump of sticky glue, Zhang Feng stepped into the outside sky.

Without hesitation, Zhang Feng decisively discarded the Yin-Yang Pearl, stepped onto his flying sword, and soared into the sky. At the same time, he combined his soul power and divine sense to carefully perceive the tracking marks on his body.

The "Soul Sensing Technique" greatly enhanced Zhang Feng's perception ability, and he finally discovered the tracking mark that Wan Qing had left on him.

There is a small golden sword mark on his left arm.

Using both his soul power and spiritual power, Zhang Feng slowly eroded the mark.

He had to be quick, otherwise if Wan Qing caught up with him again, he would be at a disadvantage and face a dialogue and transaction that crossed power levels.

A day later, Zhang Feng finally managed to erase the mark.

Midway through the journey, Zhang Feng abandoned the Lingyun Boat given to him by Wan Qing in the opposite direction from where he was traveling.

Zhang Feng was relieved and focused on his journey.

A month later, Zhang Feng finally found a small island inhabited by cultivators. After making inquiries from various sources, he was able to pinpoint his location.

This time, after being teleported out, I actually arrived in the Five Dragons Sea region, and the small island here is called Fog Sea Island.

The Five Dragon Sea and the Chaotic Star Sea are adjacent, and there is a teleportation array that leads directly to the Heavenly Star City in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Zhang Feng didn't linger. After purchasing the sea chart, he flew to a large island with a teleportation array and teleported directly to Tianxing City.
