Just as the Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast reached three zhang away from them, two streaks of red light arrived in an instant.
The Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast tilted its head, its eyes filled with genuine confusion this time.
Did they specifically come to be my food?
What a good person!
It roared excitedly. Li Feiyu looked at the three people's miserable state, condensed a drop of one-hundred-year longevity liquid on his fingertip, and shot it into Crimson Crow's mouth.
"Don't swallow it, burn it, and then block the Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast!"
Crimson Crow burned the longevity liquid, and boundless crimson-gold light bloomed around its body. It unfurled its third foot in the air, emitting a sharp sound as it confronted the beast.
Originally, the Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast had somewhat looked down on Crimson Crow, but after the latter swallowed that liquid which inexplicably tugged at its nerves, its aura immediately erupted, becoming uncontrollable. It directly surged into the Fourth-Grade Demon Beast category, then ascended all the way, nearing Fifth-Grade.
However, it ultimately did not cross the threshold, stopping at the peak of the Fourth-Grade.
Is that all?
The Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast's eyes showed disdain, unimpressed.
But the next moment, a third foot shot out between its two feet, and its aura surged again. The Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast's expression changed, and it began to take the matter seriously.
Roar, roar, roar ~
Ya ya ~
While they were in a standoff, Li Feiyu had already checked everyone's condition. The young Cultivator was beyond saving, but the other two still had some vitality.
How nice!
The old man and Steward He slightly raised their hands, uttering faint, hoarse sounds, "Save... me..."
Li Feiyu smiled coldly, condensed two arrows of flame, his eyes as icy as a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg. With a flick of his finger, the two flame arrows directly pierced their hearts.
"I told you, bullying my Spirit Beast will cost you your Lifespan!" Li Feiyu said indifferently.
Their eyes were wide, filled with incomprehension.
Seeing Li Feiyu actually touch its spoils of war, the Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast immediately roared and galloped towards him on all fours.
Li Feiyu activated his Dharma power to lift the two corpses away and shouted, "Crimson Crow!"
Crimson Crow's third foot Divine Ability successfully brewed, and it stomped on the Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast's head. The immense force directly crushed the ground, burying its head in the earth.
A circle of dust around them rose nearly ten meters high from the ground!
Li Feiyu plundered the Storage Pouches from their bodies, then searched them thoroughly. Seeing no other items, he threw the two corpses down and then ascended into the air.
Roar, roar ~
The Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast was enraged. It suddenly exerted force, raising its head and directly flinging Crimson Crow away.
Its golden horn once again condensed Azure Water Divine Lightning, intending to kill Crimson Crow and Li Feiyu.
However, at this moment, Li Feiyu stood on Crimson Crow's back and smiled slightly at him, "Fellow Cultivator, I will be back!"
Crimson Crow activated the Golden Crow Transformation Divine Ability, and in an instant, it vanished without a trace, while the Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast's Azure Water Divine Lightning had just finished condensing.
It furiously stomped its four feet, causing the surrounding earth to tremble.
The Azure Water Divine Lightning had already condensed, should it be released or not?
Its eyes were filled with rage. To vent its anger, it fired the Azure Water Divine Ability next to the human corpses, electrocuting them again.
As a Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast with the excellent virtue of saving food, even though the human corpses were electrocuted into bloody, unrecognizable messes, it still devoured them.
After eating, its eyes lit up, it was quite tasty.
In the future, when it catches human Cultivators, it will also electrocute them with Azure Water Divine Lightning.
Thinking this, its mood calmed down. It looked in the direction Li Feiyu had departed, then suddenly, it crawled towards the edge of the island, plunged into the seawater, and swam towards the distant sea.
This Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast had eaten special thousand-year Spiritual Plants and possessed high intelligence. Considering that it was no longer safe here, it immediately departed to find a new residence and fish again.
If Li Feiyu saw this, he would definitely call it "the Han Li of the Demon Beast world," very magnanimous.
Crimson Crow used the Golden Crow Transformation Divine Ability, flying hundreds of miles in just a few breaths. However, such a great Divine Ability could not be used lightly; its Realm was still low, and using it had a significant impact on itself.
Seeing its aura decline, Li Feiyu summoned the Clear Wind Boat and had it rest on it.
He piloted the Clear Wind Boat towards Kui Star Island.
Over a month later, Li Feiyu safely returned to his Spirit Peak and immediately entered seclusion.
In the Storage Pouches of the old man and Steward He, Li Feiyu found a large number of Spirit Stones, totaling around twenty thousand combined.
There weren't many Magical Artifacts, most of them damaged by the Golden Horned Scarlet Scale Beast's Azure Water Divine Lightning.
Steward He's Storage Pouch contained the Dragon-patterned greatsword seen earlier. It had a very powerful Divine Sense on it, which should belong to a Core Formation stage stage Cultivator.
Li Feiyu spent nearly half a month to grind away that Divine Sense, and just at this time, a vigorous white-haired old man on an island hundreds of thousands of miles away sensed something and instantly became furious.
He flew into the sky towards the direction where the greatsword's Divine Sense had disappeared.
Li Feiyu at this time was completely unaware, still tallying his spoils of war.
Besides the greatsword, Steward He's items also included a portion of Snow Spirit Water and sky fire liquid, which greatly surprised Li Feiyu.
Indeed, Steward He was also at the Late Foundation Establishment stage, already able to attempt a Breakthrough to Core Formation, so naturally, he would prepare for it.
He was a Steward of the Tianyu Commerce Alliance, so he must have many connections, making it not difficult to acquire them.
Then there was a water-attribute Cultivation Technique, named "Taiyin Mysterious Water Formula," and next to it was a porcelain bottle labeled "Profound Yin Spiritual Liquid."
Judging by its name, this Cultivation Technique should be a top-tier water-attribute Cultivation Technique. Li Feiyu looked at it; it went up to the Early Stage Core Formation. The Cultivation Technique stated that Cultivating the "Taiyin Mysterious Water Formula" for Core Formation could increase the Core Formation rate by ten percent.
Presumably, Steward He had purchased it from somewhere, intending to switch to this Cultivation Technique to increase his Core Formation rate.
His own Realm had already reached the required level, so switching Cultivation Techniques would have almost no Bottleneck. With the Profound Yin Spiritual Liquid, he could probably master it in about ten years, or even less for those with better Aptitude.
As for the old man's Storage Pouch, it contained three sets of Formation Flags: illusion, mist, and killing array types, all belonging to Third-Grade Formations, capable of blocking a Late Foundation Establishment stage Cultivator for a period of time.
In addition, there was a copy of "Artifact Refining Insights" and "Formation Explanation."
After reading them, Li Feiyu realized that the old man was actually a master of Formations. His Formation Flags, Formation Plates, and Formations were all crafted and set up by himself.
At the end of "Formation Explanation" was the method for setting up an ancient great Formation called the "Two-Phase Micro-Dust Annihilation Array," along with the required Formation Flags and Materials.
The main Materials were all exceptionally rare, such as Taiyi Geng Essence, ten-thousand-year Hengsha, Taiyin Stone, Taiyang Stone, and so on.
"This great Formation is so terrifying, I wonder what kind of existence it was created to deal with back then?"
"Is there anything in the Human Realm that matches it?"
There was a little over a year until the next Spirit Land competition. Li Feiyu did not plan to go out to sea again but instead focused on Cultivating and consuming his current gains.
[Spiritual Root: Gold, Water, Earth Pseudo-Spiritual Root; Fire, Wood High Grade Spiritual Root]
[Innate Lifespan: One hundred thirty-eight years]
[Human Lifespan: Four thousand eight hundred fifty years]
Li Feiyu checked his information. Now Core Formation was in sight. After this Spirit Land competition ended, he planned to permanently reside in the outer sea. He would not return until he achieved Core Formation.
After some thought, he released the Soul Devouring Golden Cicada and the Golden-backed Demonic Mantis, letting them play with Crimson Crow. They were reluctant.
Seeing that his Lifespan was currently sufficient, Li Feiyu purified his water-attribute Spiritual Root to a High Grade Aptitude Spiritual Root, then began to Cultivate the "Taiyin Mysterious Water Formula."
Over a month later, Li Feiyu suddenly flew out of the great Formation and went to Kui Xing City, the largest city on Kui Star Island.
Cultivating one Cultivation Technique was Cultivating, and two was also Cultivating. He planned to find another top-tier wood-attribute Cultivation Technique to Cultivate.
As for the other gold and earth attributes, that could wait until after Core Formation.
He had only visited Kui Xing City once or twice before, so he wasn't unfamiliar, but not very familiar either.
There was an anti-flight Formation here, prohibiting flying.
Li Feiyu walked directly, arriving before a seven-story pavilion paved with jade bricks.
The pavilion was named Star Plucking Pavilion.
