Fellow Daoist, I gladly accept this heaven-defying opportunity.

The rules of the Sutra Repository are strict; secret manuals must never be taken out of the repository.

Without saying a word, Xu Mofeng memorized the entire "Tiger Subduing Body Essence Technique" into his mind, then crumpled the yellowed paper into a small ball and swallowed it.

The books were destroyed to cover up the crime, cleanly and efficiently, leaving no trace.

The moment I swallowed it, a familiar mechanical voice echoed in my mind:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully acquired another's opportunity. The opportunity conversion is complete! Reward: High-grade Human Rank Tiger-Taming Body Refining Pill x1]

"Another unexpected bonus?"

Xu Mofeng's eyes lit up even more.

The matching Body Refining Pill!

This system is incredibly thoughtful; it even provides the initial funding for cultivation.

Estimating that half an hour had passed, Xu Mofeng, carrying the "Dragon Subduing Palm" manual, a bellyful of top-grade cultivation techniques, and the pills rewarded by the system, calmly walked to the door.

The black-robed elder took the manual and token, casually registered them in the register, and said without even looking up, "Alright, let's go."

"Thank you, Elder."

Xu Mofeng bowed and took his leave, then steadily departed from the Sutra Repository.

No one could tell that this ordinary outer disciple, who had just broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, was carrying a great opportunity that could drive the entire outer sect crazy.

This "playing dumb to fool the enemy" move is so satisfying!

Upon returning to his courtyard, he immediately closed the doors and windows, set up a simple soundproof barrier, and then took out the Tiger-Taming Body-Refining Pill that the system had rewarded him with.

The pill was the size of a longan, dark red in color, and had a faint smell of blood when you got close. Its medicinal power was so strong that it was almost overflowing. It was clearly not an ordinary product.

"The 'Tiger-Taming Body Essence Manual' says that cultivation requires drinking tiger blood and swallowing tiger marrow raw. It's a bit barbaric, but the effect is powerful. This pill is made from the essence, blood, and marrow of dozens of adult tigers. Its effect is definitely a hundred times stronger than drinking it raw, saving me the trouble of eating raw meat and drinking blood."

Xu Mofeng no longer hesitated, put the pill in his mouth, and immediately assumed the tiger-subduing posture according to the method of the "Tiger Subduing Body Refining Technique".

With its body leaning forward and back taut, it resembles a lurking tiger, ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a scalding hot current that flowed down the throat and into every part of the body.

Xu Mofeng felt as if hundreds of tiny mice had crawled under his skin, causing numbness and swelling. The violent drug power was frantically washing over his meridians, muscles, and bone marrow, tearing and reshaping every inch of his body under its influence.

It hurts, but it feels amazing to the core.

He could clearly feel his strength increasing wildly, and the spiritual energy in his dantian was also growing rapidly under the stimulation of the medicine. The bottleneck was as thin as paper, and he could break through it with a single poke.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

"roar--"

In the low-ceilinged training room, a punch was thrown out, the force of which howled and faintly carried the sound of a tiger's roar. The wind from the punch swept across the ground, stirring up a layer of dust.

Xu Mofeng withdrew his fist and stood up, feeling the surging power within his body, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

A single high-grade Human Rank Tiger Subduing Body Refining Pill directly boosted the "Tiger Subduing Body Refining Technique" to a slightly advanced level, granting the user the strength of two tigers and a total of ten thousand jin of fist power!

With this immense power as a foundation, even the seemingly ordinary "Dragon Subduing Palm" can unleash power approaching that of a mid-grade human-level martial art, essentially granting someone a free high-level offensive technique.

Even more surprisingly, his spiritual power also broke through the bottleneck with the help of the medicine, and he steadily stepped into the seventh level of Qi Refining!

From the sixth to the seventh level of Qi Refining, it usually takes an ordinary outer disciple at least three to five years of arduous training, and it's normal for someone with poor aptitude to endure seven or eight years.

In just a few days, he broke through two minor realms. This speed would shock everyone. He deserves the treatment of a monstrous genius in any sect.

"Opportunity is indeed the number one shortcut in martial arts."

Xu Mofeng sighed.

If you cultivate step by step, you shouldn't even think about reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining in less than three to five years.

Unfortunately, there was only one pill. If he wanted to further improve the "Tiger Subduing Body Essence Technique," he would have to rely on tiger blood and marrow to slowly accumulate more, as the technique stated.

We can't always rely on the system to provide benefits; we need to be strong ourselves.

"Tiger blood and tiger marrow... We don't have these in our sect, so we'll have to go down the mountain."

Xu Mofeng was making plans in his mind.

With over a thousand disciples in the outer sect of the Biyou Sect, in such a tiny place, encountering a blue-level opportunity is already incredibly lucky; finding another such opportunity is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Why not go down the mountain for a stroll? Firstly, you can look for tiger blood essence materials, and secondly, the world outside the mountain is vast, and you might even encounter more opportunities.

Having made up his mind, he quickly packed his belongings, pocketed the few spirit stones he had left, turned around and left the courtyard, heading straight for the mountain gate.

Twenty miles outside Biyou Sect lies Beixi Market.

The long street was bustling with people. A handsome young man in a gray robe with his hair tied up walked slowly, casually twirling a Primal Spirit Stone between his fingers. He seemed to be idling around, but there was a mystery hidden in his eyes that others could not see.

His awakened divine eye was clearly scanning the aura of fortune emanating from passersby.

"Everyone says this Beixi Market is located next to the Luoxiao Mountains and is a gathering place for martial artists within a hundred miles. Is this all there is to it?"

Xu Mofeng was puzzled, his gaze sweeping over one passerby after another.

Two feet of gray light—a complete passerby, finding a copper coin on the way out is considered extremely lucky;

Three feet of gray light—if you're lucky, you won't go hunting empty-handed;

A foot of white light, two feet of white light—at most, picking up a low-grade spiritual herb from the sky is better than nothing.

He originally wanted to find a blue-level opportunity to go into the mountains and make a fortune, but after walking around the whole street, he didn't see a single blue light, let alone a white light longer than ten feet. It was a gathering place for poor people.

Just as he was complaining, a figure rushed past him.

Xu Mofeng's gaze suddenly sharpened.

The martial artist, of medium build and of average appearance, suddenly emitted a pure white aura of fortune three zhang high, dazzling the eyes.

The White Light opportunity is real, but this size is definitely the ceiling among White Light level items, equivalent to getting a fully equipped item from a soldier's pack.

"Alright, I'll make do. It's better than going home empty-handed."

Xu Mofeng stopped dawdling, his gaze fixed on the semi-transparent lines of opportunity extending towards the Luoxiao Mountains on the other person's body, and he quickened his pace, silently following behind.

This "treasure tracing line" is his exclusive navigation tool. Others can't see or touch it; it specifically points to where the treasure will land, making it even more useful than the treasure-hunting mouse.

Following the path into the mountains, towering ancient trees block out the sun, and the dampness mixed with the pungent smell of grass and trees hits you in the face; it is a place rarely visited by people.

Swish!

There was a commotion in the bushes ahead, and a dark shadow suddenly flashed by.

Xu Mofeng paused, squinting as he looked over.

A black ape the size of a calf emerged from the bushes, its eyes bloodshot, drool dripping from its saliva, staring at him as if he were a plate of braised pork.

This was a starving, level six Qi-refining demonic ape that had taken him for free.

"roar--"

The demonic ape let out a low growl, its four limbs pushing off the ground as it transformed into a black shadow and pounced, a foul stench carrying its breath straight to your face.

Xu Mofeng frowned, turned his head away in disgust, clenched his right fist, and charged straight at the ape's head.

Bang!

A dull thud exploded.

The demonic ape was sent flying several meters away as if hit by a catapult, crashing into three or four large trees with a "crackling" sound. It twitched twice on the ground and then fell silent.

Xu Mofeng stood still, not even loosening the soil beneath his feet, and shook his hands, his expression indifferent.

"A mere beast at the sixth level of Qi Refining, with such little strength? It dares to come out and rob people on the road."

Upon closer inspection, the demon ape's skull was dented, and its head was shattered into pieces.

"They say the Demon Ape has a head of bronze, arms of iron, and a waist of tofu. So even with its hardest head, it can't withstand a single punch from me?"

Xu Mofeng looked at his fist, his smile growing wider.

The immense strength of ten thousand jin cultivated through the "Tiger Subduing Body Essence Technique" is indeed domineering.

With that punch, he finally understood his opponent's limitations: a mere sixth-level Qi Refining cultivator, someone who could be instantly killed with a single punch.

"The fur can be sold for two spirit stones, we can't waste it."

He pulled out a dagger and deftly peeled the skin, his movements fluid and graceful. After cleaning himself up, he clapped his hands and continued walking into the deep mountains, following the path of fate.

As they continued deeper in, they encountered three or four more waves of monsters.

Even those at the fifth or seventh level of Qi Refining, or even a spotted demon leopard at the eighth level of Qi Refining, didn't even have the right to make him stop; they were all knocked down with a single punch.

As Xu Mofeng walked, he estimated: "With this strength, a ninth-level Qi Refining expert would definitely win. Even against a weaker tenth-level Qi Refining expert, it wouldn't be a problem."

So he originally came to search for treasure, but ended up clearing out the mountain along the way, gaining a lot of experience points.

Before long, the line of chance stopped in front of a steep mountain wall.

Hidden halfway up the mountainside was a cave entrance, completely obscured by bushes. The chance thread disappeared completely once it entered the cave.

"The baby is inside."

Xu Mofeng glanced at the protrusions on the mountain wall, preparing to use them to leap upwards, when suddenly alarm bells rang in his mind.

He instinctively dodged to the side.

laugh--

A pool of dark green venom splattered where he had just been standing, white smoke hissed up, and in the blink of an eye, it eroded a half-meter-deep pit in the ground, the fishy and sweet smell hitting his head.

"Playing dirty tricks?"

Xu Mofeng's expression darkened slightly as he looked up.

At the cave entrance, a giant, colorful python, seven or eight zhang long and as thick as a water bucket, was coiled up. Its crimson vertical pupils stared intently at him, and its aura was heavy and dense, stronger than any of the demonic beasts he had encountered before.

This aura is at least at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and it also carries a highly poisonous buff.
