Lingyun Forest

"Tian'er are you heading towards the Lingyun Forest?" She asked

Lingyun Forest was a place in which Demon Beasts resided. But it was also a place in which Animals such as Bears and Serpents could be killed.

By killing them you could sell what they had to offer gaining Spirit Stones. And that's what Aoi Tian needed Spirit Stones.

Without Spirit Stones it would only be a matter of time before his cultivation came to a halt. And he still needed enough Money to buy a Qi Refining Pill.

"Yes" Aoi Tian replied Yao Mei question

Yao Mei's Face grew to one of shock. Even tho she asked him if he were headed to the Lingyun Forest. She wouldn't have thought that her Question would contain the Truth.

"It's to dangerous Tian'er!" She shouted at him

Even tho she believed Aoi Tian to be strongest. He was far to reckless. The Demon Beasts that were in the Lingyun Forest could even kill someone at the Peak of Qi Refining. And Aoi Tian was just at the Beginning of it. It was a suicide mission.

That was the drawback of going to the Lingyun Forest and also the reason as to why People wouldn't dare go there without atleast reaching the Foundation Realm.

The Region they lived in was that of Bai Yuan. It was in the Continent of Yong Ning. Bai Yuan was a Region consisting mostly of Villages. If both of them died it would go unnoticed by the World.

"Don't worry I will come back well and alive" Aoi Tian promised

Yao Mei was still worried as she asked the Boy she loved

"Can you atleast take me with you?"

"No" Aoi Tian answered instantly

He could promise his own well being. But taking care of Yao Mei could hinder him since he had someone to take care off.

"Please I-"

"Mei'er" Aoi Tian said with a cold tone

Aoi Tian understood Yao Mei's worry. It was understandable. But he could handle himself quite well. And he didn't wanted to drag Yao Mei into a mission that could possibly lead up to them both being dead.

Yao Mei understood she wouldn't be getting through the Boy so she asked him one last thing

"Can you promise me you will come back safely?"

"I promise"

As soon as Aoi Tian finished his sentence she kissed him on the cheek blushing madly.

"Don't forget your promise" She said as she left the Room

Aoi Tian couldn't help but chuckle on her attempt in staying calm. With that said he made his Way towards the Lingyun Forest.

It took him a whole day to arrive. Aoi Tian knew he would be staying here for a few days so he prepared himself diligently.

He had prepared enough Food to not starve to death for atleast a Week. And had enough bottles of Water to stay hydrated. Plus he had a smile dagger that should be enough to kill Bears and Snake.

By killing a Bear he could cut their Pelt away and by killing Snakes he could put their Venom into a Sac both selling two Spirit Stones each.

As Aoi Tian walked through the Forest he encountered a Bear. The Bear stared at Aoi Tian. Aoi Tian smirked

'My luck was something I never complained about'

He rushed towards the Bear with his Dagger in Hand as the Bear roared

"ROOOOOOOOOOOAR"

It was Late at Evening and in his Bag Aoi Tian had already 20 Bear Pelts and 10 Venom Sacs. If he were to sell everything he would have 60 Spirit Stones. He needed about 240 more to buy a simple Qi Refining Pill.

But Now he should be looking for a place to sleep. After walking around for awhile he finally found a cave.

'Am getting tired' Aoi Tian thought

The cave was dark as Aoi Tian took a stock of Wood lighting it up with Stones he found essentially made for making Fire.

The cave was filled with Light as Aoi Tian's Face grew to one of shock.

"A Bamboo Demon Beast or for short a Bambuki"

They were the weakest Demon Beasts but at the same Time the most annoying due to the fact they were always in swarms. Aoi Tian couldn't have noticed that the Cave was full of them due to it being filled with darkness.

"This will take awhile" He sighed

He rushed at them as one of them started spinning around and the other threw explosives while from behind another threw Spears at him.

Aoi Tian swiftly dodged all of the explosives as they blowed up behind him. In one attack he cut both of them in half. He continued cutting through countless of them feeling tired.

'With the noise they are creating it won't take long till a Demon Beast will appear but there is no shortage on their numbers no matter how many I kill. Am also losing Stamina I feel like collapsing.' Aoi Tian thought breathing heavily

He needed to end this quickly as he continued without resisting. Slashing through countless Bamboo Demon Beasts without rest. His Body was already going far and beyond it's Limits.

His Reaction Time has also gotten sloppier which each passing second sustaining more and more injuries. But he needed to go through all that to not die against one of them and kill them fast enough before a stronger Demon Beast arrives and kills him.

"I've Done it" Aoi Tian said as he collapsed onto the Ground

There wasn't a single Bambuki left standing. He had killed every single one. It took him two whole hours to kill every single one of them. He would never have thought that he would be struggling this hard against some mere Bambuki's.

He had spend every ounce of Qi he had now that there was nothing left he needed to fill his empty Pool of Qi. He went into a Meditation Position as he started cultivating.

It took him 4 Hours to get back all his Qi as he looked at the torch. The Fire was about to disappear. He wasn't dissatisfied since he wanted to sleep anyway. But then he noticed something at the end of the cave. It was a chest.

"Were they protecting it?" Aoi Tian muttered

He slowly stood up as he growled in pain. He didn't have healing pills so except from replenishing his Qi he couldn't do anything more.

He opened the Chest as he said in surprise

"A Interspatial Ring?"

Those were Rings that were able to store things inside a pocket Dimension. But Aoi Tian sighed in disappointment.

"This is of the lowest grade"

It was a Interspatial Ring of the Qi Refining Realm. Even tho he knew he couldn't use a Interspatial Ring above that he was still disappointed that he got the worst of the worst Interspatial Ring.

Still he had no right to complain atleast he didn't have to carry everything now. Satisfied Aoi Tian went to sleep.
