The noon sun shone on the vast and boundless forest. A touch of golden color unconsciously appeared in the verdant green, which made the endless mountain range, which was full of danger, look a little warmer.
On the Yingchou Mountain, there was an ancient mountain that spanned more than ten small towns. The wild beasts and evil beasts within were enough to make a true qi realm practitioner flinch. However, the treasures of heaven and earth and various resources within the mountain still made countless people willing to risk their lives to enter the mountain and find a way out for themselves.
Every day, the Eagle Worry Mountain had to welcome countless visitors. Therefore, every moment, this ancient mountain forest would put on a show of hunting and counter-kill. The winner would get the resources or food to survive, while the loser would have to pay the price of his life...

The gurgling stream gave off a pleasant sound among the mountains. The stream was very clear and could completely reflect the whole sky, but the reflection was the reflection. The fish in the water could never soar in the vast sky.
A silver python with silver light all over its body slowly climbed out of the dense forest beside the stream. It was more than three meters long and almost as thick as the mouth of a bowl. However, its body did not make the slightest sound when it moved forward.
The Silver Python was very vigilant. Its dark green eyes were full of danger and caution. Every time it moved forward, it would stop and observe the movement around it until it was sure that there was no danger, and then it would continue to approach the stream.
Not long after, the Silver Python came to the stream and found a comfortable position as usual to clean its scale that was about to transform. However, it did not find that there was a hollow grass on the stream today, which was more upright than usual.
The Silver Python belonged to the category of ordinary wild beasts. However, the top of the Silver Python's head was slightly bulging. Obviously, it was going to evolve into an evil beast. Once it evolved into an evil beast, it would have the wisdom of a human and become an existence like a human warrior.
There would be a lot of impurities expelled from its body during the process of evolution. If the impurities were not cleaned up in time, it would be very unfavorable to its evolution. Therefore, the Silver Python cleaned it very carefully, so that it did not notice that the hollow grass not far away was a little closer to it.

"Hua la la la!"
At a certain moment, the sound of splashing water suddenly broke the silence of the air. As the water dispersed, the figure of a young man jumped out of the water.
"Hahaha, little snake, I have been waiting for a long time."
The youth jumped out of the water. With a whistling sound, he had already arrived in front of the Silver Python. The dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light, just in time to pierce the Silver Python's head.

"Puff!!"
The silver python's head was the weakest point. This dagger actually pierced through its head. Without waiting for the silver python to give its final struggle, the young man's dagger suddenly slashed out. Immediately, the silver python's head was separated from its body.
"Puff!"
On the other side of his head, the Silver Python jumped a few times in the water before it finally calmed down.
"After more than ten days of preparation, I still managed to hunt down this cunning fellow!"
Shaking his wet hair, Yun Xiao glanced at the dead body of the silver python and couldn't help showing a happy smile.
Even a martial practitioner at the third or fourth level of the true qi realm would find it difficult to kill a Silver Python that was on the verge of evolving. However, as a fifteen year old youth who didn't even have the slightest bit of true qi, it only took him a dozen days or so to kill this fellow. It was likely that not many people would believe him.
"It's time to enjoy the fruits of labor!"
After killing the Silver Python, Yun Xiao did not dare to hesitate. The Silver Python's blood qi was very vigorous. It would not take long for many wild beasts to be attracted by the smell of blood. Before that, he had to leave first.
He took the python's body to the shore, neatly peeled off the snake skin, and put away the silver python's snake gall, snake tendons, and several key scales. Finally, he threw the useless parts into the stream. After that, he carried the parcel and rushed to the periphery of the Eagle Mountain.
Since he started to remember things, he had spent most of his time with his grandfather in the Eagle Mountain. He had been searching for treasures and hunting. Old Master Yun Jin had taught him all the skills he could teach him. Such a level of hunting was really nothing to him...
Yunxiao lived in a small town called Hongluan Town. Because it was next to Yingchou Mountain, the town's living environment was relatively rich. At least, there was no such thing as having nothing to eat and wear.
After coming out of the Yingchou Mountain, Yun Xiao did not go straight home. Instead, he carried his prey on his back and headed straight for the bustling area of Hong Luan Town.
Just like most small towns, the rich people of Hong Luan Town were all gathered in an area. As for the rich people's gathering area, it was naturally the center of the entire town.
It was just after noon, so there were not many people on the street. At the entrance of several tea shops and restaurants, the waiters who welcomed guests huddled on the stools. The usually loud and clear-headed prostitutes of the brothel were now only feebly waving their veil by the window of the pavilion. However, a few blacksmith shops were still knocking on the ground non-stop, which made the town not too dull at noon.
Yunxiao wore an ordinary coarse linen garment and carried a bag of prey that could be seen everywhere on his back. It was not eye-catching for him to walk on the street. As for the fresh scenery on the street, it was not attractive to him.
After passing through several streets and alleys, the clouds finally stopped in front of an antique building.
It was a three-story building, with a bronze plaque with four dark words written on it. It was the Holy Heart Elixir Store!
"Hey, isn't this little brother Yun Yun? I haven't seen him for a long time!"
As soon as he stood still, the shop-boy next to the door was the first to see him and hurried out with a happy face.
"Brother Bai."
With a slight smile, Yun Xiao also greeted him enthusiastically.
He couldn't remember how many times he had been here. There was no fellow in the medicine trade that he didn't know, and every time he came, the fellow here would fight to welcome him.
"Little brother, what treasure did you get? Let me have a look." As he made way for Yunxiao, Brother Bai took the backpack from Yunxiao's back, his eyes full of expectation.
Yun Xiao was Yun Jin's grandson. Every time he brought something valuable, any waiter who received Yun Xiao could earn a small sum of money from it. Today, he was lucky, but the others could only envy him.
"A Silver Python that is about to evolve? Good heavens, this thing can even be obtained by you!"
When he opened the package, the muscles of the Silver Python and the dark green snake gall were all revealed in front of him. When he saw these things, his eyes suddenly became a little green. As for the other fellows, they could only cast surprised and envious eyes at this moment, regretting that they were not the first to find the clouds.
The skin and tendons of the Silver Python were very precious medicinal materials, and the snake gall was a rare life-saving medicine. In particular, this Silver Python was about to evolve into a Magic Beast. Ordinary people really couldn't get such a treasure.
Of course, he would not think that this Silver Python was a hunt by Yun Xiao. Everyone in Hongluan Town knew that Yun Xiao was born with a weak body and many diseases. Not only could he not cultivate, but he even soaked in medicine every day. If it weren't for his great grandfather, he would have died long ago.
"Brother Bai, please help me calculate the number of Spiritual Herbs that can be exchanged for a few days according to the normal price!"
Yun Xiao didn't say much. He had some connections with the Holy Heart Medicine Company. A year ago, when he was hunting with his grandfather in the Yingchou Mountain, he happened to encounter the Holy Heart Medicine Company's herb gathering team being attacked by magical beasts. The grandfather and grandson passing by saved the people of the herb gathering team. Coincidentally, Lin Yue'er, the eldest daughter of the Holy Heart Medicine Company, was also in the team that time.
Since that time, he could always get things from the Holy Heart Medicine Shop in exchange for spirit medicines that were far higher than the market price, and he also became friends with Lin Yue'er, the eldest daughter of the Holy Heart Medicine Shop.
"No problem. Come with me, little brother. We've already prepared what you want."
Brother Bai did not hesitate. He held the bag of prey brought by Yunxiao in front of his chest and walked to the counter with Yunxiao.
When they arrived at the counter, Brother Bai carefully put the bag of prey in it, and then picked out an exquisite package from a pile of goods.
"Little brother, your luck is not bad. You really have saved up a lot of spiritual herbs in the past few days. They should be enough for you to use for more than half a month."
Yun Xiao had been soaking in a medicine barrel since he was young. This was not a secret in the entire Hong Luan Town. Over the years, he had bought almost all of the spirit herbs purchased by the Saint Heart Medicine Company.
"So many?"
Yun Xiao was delighted to see that there were so many Spiritual Herbs in the package.
"Hehe, these are all picked out by First Miss herself. There are a few stalks of spirit grass that are almost all of the age of spirit plant." Brother Bai raised his eyebrows and his smile could not help but become a little ambiguous.
Since Yun Xiao saved Lin Yue'er that time, the spiritual herbs Yun Xiao needed were basically prepared by Lin Yue'er in person. Although Lin Yue'er had always emphasized that she wanted to repay the kindness, only Lin Yue'er knew if there was any deep meaning in it.
"Thank you, Yue'er."
Speaking of Lin Yue-er, Yun Xiao's face lit up and his heart was inevitably moved.
Lin Yue'er was publicly recognized as the most beautiful woman in Hongluan Town. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also gentle and amiable. No man would not be interested in her. Although he could not cultivate, his love for beauty was no different from that of ordinary men.
Everyone in Hongluan Town knew that the hero had saved the beauty that time. Many people envied him for having such a chance to get close to the beauty. Fortunately, he was a "sick" and Lin Yue'er would not have fallen in love with him. Otherwise, he would have become the public enemy of all people.
"Brother Bai, Miss Yue'er..."
"Hey, isn't this the small medicine pot of Master Yun Jin's house? What a coincidence to meet you here."
Yun Xiao still wanted to get some news about Lin Yue'er from the shop assistant. However, before he could finish his words, a sneer suddenly came from outside the door. Before he could stop laughing, a young man appeared in front of the pharmacy with two servants with gift boxes.
