Chapter 456 Qi Han, Who Doesn't Play by the Rules

"Whoo~"

Stepping out of the portal, the surrounding scenery was completely different.

At this moment, Qi Han was in a somewhat desolate and peaceful valley, where there was not a single other person in sight.

"Ruyi, bring up the map."

Upon arriving on the Sun and Moon Continent, figuring out your current location is naturally the most important thing.

As Qi Han finished speaking, a very detailed, high-definition map covering the entire Sun Moon Continent appeared before Qi Han's eyes, marking his current location and the location of his destination, Mingdu.

The distance between the two is not far; at the speed of chasing clouds, it would take at most an hour to get there.

"Are you going to set up a barbecue stall in Mingdu?" Ruyi's expectant voice echoed in Qi Han's mind.

"Heh!" Qi Han merely smiled dismissively, slowly shifting his gaze from Mingdu to searching the surrounding area.

Soon, Qi Han spotted a spot on the map where a special area resembled a spider. The central mountain range formed the spider's torso, while the eight branches formed its eight legs.

That was a gathering area of ​​spirit beasts called Jingyang Mountain Range, which was also the closest gathering area of ​​spirit beasts to him at the moment.

Soul Masters can possess far more wealth than ordinary people. Although a small number of Soul Masters obtain their wealth through illegitimate means such as plunder, the majority of Soul Masters are able to possess more wealth because of hunting Soul Beasts.

Many parts of a soul beast's body can be used for forging medicine and refining pills, and once a soul beast develops a soul bone, it becomes extremely valuable.

This is the main source of wealth for many Soul Masters.

How difficult would it be to earn enough gold soul coins to buy a shop by setting up a street stall?

But if he's lucky enough to get a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, he can sell it for more than 100,000 gold soul coins.

In the process of running the restaurant and cooking, Qi Han had cooked hundreds of thousands of soul beasts, but he had never encountered a soul beast with a soul bone. This was not because the probability of a soul bone appearing was so low, but because the extraction of soul rings and soul bones would affect the essence of the ingredients themselves. Therefore, under Ruyi's control, cooking ingredients could not extract soul bones and soul rings.

Otherwise, Qi Han could have made a fortune just by cooking the soul bones produced by so many soul beasts.

"Ruyi, didn't expect this, did you?" Qi Han said, as he sat on Zhuiyun's back and guided Zhuiyun toward the Jingyang Mountains, he communicated with Ruyi in his mind with a sense of pride.

"Hmph!" Ruyi rolled her eyes, clearly very dissatisfied with Qi Han's unpredictable behavior.

However, side quest ten only required Qi Han to buy the shop, and it didn't specify where the money would come from, so she had no reason to object to Qi Han's choice.

Qi Han made this decision not only because hunting soul beasts was a faster way to make money, but also for other reasons.

The previous underwater battle with the Azure Scaled Eel seemed incredibly brave, but as Ruyi analyzed afterward, she realized that she still lacked combat experience. Otherwise, she would never have ended up falling into the sea and fighting a swarm of eels.

Although he had a small training experience in the Infernal Corridor before, that training was too simple and could not help him quickly accumulate combat experience. Therefore, this trip to the Jingyang Mountains to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul beast materials and soul bones was destined to be a difficult training experience for him.

On the other hand, he also needs to readjust to his soul rings and soul skills.

When he fought the Azure Scaled Dragon Eel, Qi Han had four spirit rings: black, purple, purple, and purple. Except for the first spirit ring, which reached the ten-thousand-year level, the other three spirit rings were all at the thousand-year level.

Now, Qi Han's spirit rings have undergone significant changes in both level and number.

He silently revealed his martial spirit in his hand, and five deep, ten-thousand-year spirit rings slowly emerged. The ten-thousand-year level of power even made the Cloud Chaser beneath him feel somewhat uneasy for a moment.

After the carving skill bound to the second spirit ring reached the perfect level, the second spirit ring naturally reached the ten-thousand-year level. As for the subsequent three spirit rings reaching the ten-thousand-year level, it was thanks to the peony fish slices.

Whether it's controlling the heat or breaking down the ingredients, these are the key points in the cooking process of Peony Fish Slices. As Qi Han practiced Peony Fish Slices more and more, his proficiency in these two skills also increased. Finally, at the moment of completing the cooking of Peony Fish Slices, he made a qualitative leap and stepped into the perfect level, which promoted his third and fourth soul rings to ten thousand-year soul rings.

As for the fifth soul skill, which is bound to the skill of thickening and drizzling sauce, it immediately reached the point of almost breaking through to the perfect level upon acquisition. After a hundred days of daily cooking and management, it has gained a lot of experience and, with the help of the breakthroughs in the other two skills, it has also broken through to the perfect level.

Now all five of his spirit rings are at the ten-thousand-year level, and once these spirit rings are activated, he will feel even more domineering.

Although it was still a little different from the scene of the chef showing off with nine 100,000-year soul rings that he had initially envisioned, Qi Han was still very satisfied.

The upgrade of his soul rings also led to an improvement in the quality of his soul skills. The effects of his last four soul skills have changed to some extent and are stronger than before. He needs to adapt to this as soon as possible.

Therefore, going to the spirit beast gathering area called Jingyang Mountain Range to hunt spirit beasts at this moment can be considered as killing three birds with one stone for Qi Han.

Speaking of which... doesn't the Jingyang Mountains sound familiar?

Qi Han pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered.

Isn't this the place where Huo Yuhao killed the Six Element Silver Wolf?

As far as I can remember, there are quite a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts in that area, but no trace of one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts, so the danger level is relatively low.

"Ruyi, could you please give me another map showing the distribution of spirit beasts in the Jingyang Mountains?"

"Price: 10 Gold Soul Coins. I'd like the Sun and Moon version. Thank you for your patronage."

"Huh?" Qi Han's face twitched slightly. "You've changed. You gave me the soul beast distribution map for free before!"

"Because it's necessary for the ingredient acquisition mission, it's a mission item, so it can naturally be given away for free." Ruyi snorted. "This time there's no ingredient acquisition mission, so of course there's a charge?"

"Then why did you accept Sun and Moon Gold Soul Coins?" Qi Han asked, heartbroken. "Weren't these ten Sun and Moon Gold Soul Coins supposed to be a friendly gesture? How can you have the nerve to take them back now?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about? That was to support your street vending!" Ruyi snorted. "You're already hunting soul beasts, making money is a piece of cake for you, right? I guess you don't need any more friendly support."

"Actually, I think I still need it..."

"No way!"

"Alright..." With a sigh, Qi Han took out the ten gold soul coins that Ruyi had given him.

The gold soul coins of the Douluo Continent are engraved with the map of the entire Douluo Continent and special patterns on the back, while the gold soul coins of the Sun Moon Empire are engraved with a very cool-looking logo on the back.

According to Ruyi's introduction, this symbol is the national emblem of the Sun and Moon Empire.

As the ten gold soul coins disappeared, a new light screen appeared before Qi Han's eyes, which was a detailed map of the soul beasts gathered inside the Jingyang Mountains.

With this map, Qi Han's training within the Jingyang Mountains will be much safer in the coming period.

As he watched the spider-shaped mountain range draw ever closer in the distance, a hint of eagerness flickered in his eyes.

Chapter 457 Golden Silk Demon Ape

"Zhuiyun, go down over there."

"Hiss!"

Zhuiyun let out a neigh and slowly descended as instructed by Qi Han.

This place is about five kilometers away from the Jingyang Mountains. The reason he chose to land here is because there seem to be traces of humans not far ahead on the edge of the Jingyang Mountains.

Having just arrived, Qi Han wasn't very familiar with the situation on the Sun and Moon Continent, so he decided to play it safe.

After all, flying in the air is quite conspicuous.

After communicating with the landed Zhuiyun and returning it to its initial state, Qi Han held Zhuiyun's hand with one hand and carried Gulu in his arms with the other, and walked towards the Jingyang Mountains.

"Stop right there, what are you doing?"

Soon, the man and the two beasts were stopped by a man who was holding a strange-looking metal weapon in his hand and carrying another metal weapon on his back.

The uniform he wore bore the emblem of the Sun Moon Empire on the chest, clearly indicating that he was a soldier of the Sun Moon Empire.

So what he has on his hands and back are soul tools?

Qi Han became curious in an instant and examined the weapon in the other person's hand with great interest.

Although he had heard of it many times, this was the first time he had ever seen a soul tool.

The soldier's weapon was tightly clamped to his wrist at one end, with a hollowed-out handle in the middle for easy gripping, while the head of the weapon had a structure somewhat similar to a hemispherical antenna.

The entire surface of the metal weapon is covered with intricate metallic patterns. Although the overall structure is not complex, these metallic patterns give it a sophisticated and high-end look.

As for the metal weapons carried on the soldiers' backs, they looked somewhat like rocket launchers without rockets.

The cylindrical cannon barrel had the same intricate patterns and two handles for easy gripping. Although it was silent at the moment, Qi Han could still sense a threat emanating from the deep muzzle.

"What are you looking at? Never seen a soul-guided ray gun before?" The soldier's face showed a hint of impatience as he raised the soul-guided ray gun in his hand, its antenna-like head pointed at Qi Han's body. "This is the Jingyang Mountain Range ahead. Retreat if there's nothing to do!"

This scene left Qi Han somewhat bewildered.

He had never encountered such a situation before on the Douluo Continent.

However, seeing the other soldiers looking in their direction, Qi Han didn't want to cause trouble and took the initiative to explain, "I came to Jingyang Mountain Range to hunt soul beasts."

"Hunting soul beasts?" Upon hearing this, the soldier's expression softened somewhat, and he slowly lowered the soul-guided ray gun in his hand. "Wait a moment, I need to scan you."

scanning?

As Qi Han was wondering about this, he saw the soldier take a strange-looking metal device from his waist and scan Qi Han's body.

This metal device is quite small, only slightly larger than the palm of a hand, so Qi Han had overlooked it earlier. Now, looking at it this way, it is clearly a kind of soul tool.

As the soul tool emitted a burst of blue light that swept across Qi Han's body, a mechanical voice quickly followed, "Soul power level, level 53."

So this is a soul guide device used to measure soul power?

Qi Han then understood.

Upon hearing the scan results, the soldier in front of him immediately became more respectful. "Respected Level 5 Soul Master, I apologize for my previous neglect. You may enter now."

Level 5 Soul Master?

Qi Han chuckled inwardly. He didn't even know how to make a soul tool, yet he could now be considered a level five soul master.

However, he couldn't be bothered to correct the soldier's statement.

As long as you can get inside, that's fine.

Having just arrived on the Sun and Moon Continent, he still didn't want to cause too much trouble.

Wouldn't it be better to just survive, make money, and then leave?

Qi Han flipped over and sat back on Zhuiyun's back, guiding Zhuiyun to travel quickly into the Jingyang Mountains.

Only after Gu saw Qi Han leave did the soldier who had stopped him breathe a sigh of relief and stand with the other soldiers.
