Zhang Yuhe, long saber in hand, cautiously traversed the mountain forest.
Although he had no wilderness survival experience and didn't know how to hunt or find prey.
Still, a living person couldn't just let himself be starved to death, right?
Moreover, he was, at the very least, a Cultivator now.
He couldn't defeat powerful Yao Beasts, but killing a small monster to fill his stomach should be no problem, right?
He thought as he moved through the forest.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from nearby.
Zhang Yuhe's heart tightened. He quickly hid behind a large tree, peeking his head out to observe quietly.
After a short while, a huge wild boar appeared in his sight.
"Damn, are the wild boars in Yu Fan Heaven that big?"
When he saw the wild boar, Zhang Yuhe was completely stunned.
A wild boar bigger than an ox, it must have become a spirit, right?
At this moment, he hesitated whether to make this wild boar his dinner.
Upon observation, he found that although this wild boar was huge, the aura it emitted seemed to be weaker than his own.
If he snuck up and ambushed it, he should have a chance to kill it.
"Forget it, wild boar meat isn't tasty. I'll find another target."
After an internal struggle, Zhang Yuhe quickly found an excuse for himself and gave up the idea of a reckless charge.
Mainly, he currently had the Qi Refining fourth-layer Cultivation, but had not learned any spell techniques or Divine Abilities.
The flashy spell techniques and earth-shattering Divine Abilities that a Cultivator should possess currently only existed in his imagination.
Zhang Yuhe now only had brute strength. To kill monsters, he could only rely on the long saber in his hand, or directly use his fists.
To be honest, he didn't have much confidence in his long saber, which cost fifty thousand blue coins.
Could a mortal saber forged on Blue Star kill a Yao Beast in Yu Fan Heaven?
Zhang Yuhe expressed doubt.
Holding the long saber was purely to embolden himself.
That was all.
After bypassing the large wild boar, Zhang Yuhe successively discovered several more Yao Beasts.
However, he still chose not to act, because the auras emitted by these Yao Beasts were either similar to his own or stronger than his.
It made him tremble with fear.
"Leave them be for now. After my strength improves in a few days, I'll come back and butcher them for meat."
After comforting himself, Zhang Yuhe continued his journey to find his dinner.
"Oh, this one's good. Yellow goat meat should be delicious, right?"
There were indeed many Yao Beasts in the mountain forest, and Zhang Yuhe quickly found a target.
This was a Yao Beast that looked like a yellow goat.
Let's just call it a yellow goat for now.
The yellow goat wasn't large, similar to those on Blue Star. The key was that the aura emitted by this yellow goat was very weak.
It was probably similar to when he had just Broken Through to the Qi Refining first-layer.
"This is it."
For his first Take action in Yu Fan Heaven, Zhang Yuhe felt he should play it safe.
So he looked for the weakest monster.
He quietly approached the yellow goat.
At this moment, the yellow goat still didn't know that its Life was about to end, and it was still leisurely eating leaves.
Clang...
Zhang Yuhe suddenly leaped up, his long saber unsheathed. The Spiritual Qi in his Dantian quickly surged towards the long saber in his hand.
A sharp saber light slashed down directly towards the yellow goat's neck.
Due to the disparity in strength and the sneak attack, the yellow goat didn't react at all.
The saber light flashed, and the goat's head separated. On the ground, only the little yellow goat's corpse remained, along with two glowing wooden boxes.
"Haha, it dropped items! What good things could they be? Will it give me a Divine Artifact?"
For his first kill in Yu Fan Heaven, two items dropped, and Zhang Yuhe was extremely excited.
He quickly opened the first box, and a Spirit Stone filled with Spiritual Qi appeared before him.
The stone wasn't large, only about the size of a mahjong tile.
"This thing should be a Spirit Stone, right?"
Zhang Yuhe quickly picked up the Spirit Stone.
"Not bad, dropping a Spirit Stone is a decent harvest."
Spirit Stones have wide uses in the Immortal Realm. They can not only assist in Cultivation but also be used for setting up formations and the like.
Of course, the most important use of Spirit Stones is their currency function; they are the common currency of the Immortal Realm.
Traveling in Yu Fan Heaven without Spirit Stones is like being penniless on Blue Star, making it impossible to move an inch.
Putting away the Spirit Stone, Zhang Yuhe opened the second box, and a scent of roasted meat wafted out.
"Uh, it's a plate of roasted meat?"
Looking at the item in the box, Zhang Yuhe was a bit speechless.
He had thought of many things, such as Cultivation Technique Secret Manuals, or Magical Artifacts and Magic Treasures.
He even fantasized about opening a Divine Artifact.
However, what was in the box was a plate of fragrant roasted meat, which he had not expected at all.
"My imagination still isn't big enough."
Well, it was fine. Directly getting dinner was exactly what he needed.
Zhang Yuhe took out the roasted meat from the box.
It had to be said that the System's settings were very thoughtful.
The roasted meat was actually served on a plate for him, so he didn't have to eat it directly with his hands.
"Go back to eat and Cultivate."
Zhang Yuhe held the long saber in his left hand and a plate of roasted meat in his right, quickly returning towards the Daoist temple.
As for the yellow goat's corpse on the ground, he didn't even look at it again.
Because Zhang Yuhe suddenly remembered that he hadn't brought seasonings or a fire source.
He had a yellow goat, but he couldn't eat it at all. He couldn't eat it raw, could he?
He wasn't Bear Grylls; he really couldn't bring himself to eat it raw.
After a short while, Zhang Yuhe returned to the dilapidated Daoist temple. He used his long saber to cut the roasted meat into small pieces, then slowly enjoyed it.
With one piece of roasted meat in his stomach, he felt completely comfortable.
"It's really delicious. Let's see what everyone else is doing."
Zhang Yuhe opened the chat channel while eating roasted meat.
At this time, the number of people chatting on the channel was no longer as numerous as when it first started.
However, it was still scrolling, just not as fast as before.
"So hungry. Do any of you big shots have food? Can you add me as a friend and send me some?"
"Haha, I brought a box of instant noodles before I came in. Enough to eat for several days."
"There are wild monsters everywhere outside. How can you be hungry? Go out and kill monsters for meat!"
"Kill what? Can you even beat them? I should have brought an AK."
"What good is an AK? It won't even fire here."
"No way, is that true?"
"Yes, I brought a large sniper rifle in, but it wouldn't fire at all. It's not even as useful as a fire poker."
"Indeed. Not only are firearms useless here, even lighters can't be used."
"Then it's over. Are we going to starve to death here?"
"What are you afraid of? At worst, go out and fight the wild monsters. It doesn't matter if you die anyway. If you die, you can just go back to sleep, and you'll be a good man again tomorrow."
"Don't think too much. If you really can't stand it, just go offline. Today is only the first day. Understand the situation, and come back tomorrow more prepared."
"That's right. It won't delay much time anyway. Cultivation is a matter of hundreds or thousands of years, so these hundred days don't matter."
"The brother upstairs is right. I'm going offline now, bye bye."
"Sigh, I'll hold on a bit longer."
"It's getting dark. I'm so scared. I'm in a deserted village here. There won't be ghosts at night, will there?"
"If there are ghosts, isn't that just right? Think about Ning Caichen, he was thrilled."
"Holy crap, buddy, I salute you, you're a real man."
