Chapter Eighty-One: Mount Mica

  Just logged in, sorry for keeping everyone waiting.

  Ready with the materials, Huo Hai immediately returned to his own courtyard and began to distill. In this world, there were not so many precise instruments, and Huo Hai could only make a simplest still.

  Or rather, it was just a pot that had been modified, fortunately this world had such things, Huo Hai let out a helpless sigh. Firewood wasn't so troublesome, Huo Hai set up a simple high-temperature spiritual array and solved the problem. However, this method couldn't be used by people without a large amount of spiritual stones. Afterwards, Huo Hai began to cultivate and recover.

  Time slowly passed, and day after night went by. When Huo Hai woke up again, the bucket for distilled water was already filled to the brim. Huo Hai was very satisfied with this.

  "Alright, let's get going." He slung a large, opaque bucket over his back and poured in the preservative solution for storing live organs. In some ways, the Tianling Continent was much more convenient than Earth.

  Then, Huo Hai set off with a large backpack. "Hey, isn't it said that there are many spatial rings in the other world? Why didn't I have good luck and encounter one, or else I wouldn't be so miserable." Huo Hai muttered to himself in frustration. For such a long time, let alone seeing a spatial ring, he hadn't even heard of anyone having such a thing.

  Fortunately, as a master of the Linggu Bone Realm, he was now carrying a large water bucket and a large backpack. It was just like carrying a small bag on Earth, not hindering him at all. Looking at the map, Huo Hai set off in the direction of the Super Mi Ga Mountain.

  His entire body shook with the black cloak, and no one recognized Huo Hai. It's likely that those guys who discovered his disappearance had already arrived at Miga Mountain by the time he did, Huo Hai sneered in his heart. The disguise of a lone traveler was just an extra large water bucket. On this continent, there were countless people with strange attire, and Huo Hai's getup didn't count as anything unusual.

  Nor did it attract the attention of others, before dark, Huo Hai had vaguely seen the outline of Miga Mountain. "That's Miga Mountain, and it doesn't look small either. Forget it, rest today and we should be able to get there tomorrow."

  Huo Hai glanced at the sky, and it was already late. Continuing on the road would be dangerous. He casually took out the tent tied to his backpack, which was made with great precision. Moreover, there were simple temperature control and soundproofing arrays on it. With just one spirit stone, the array could be maintained for a very long time. When he bought this item initially, more than half of the money spent was on this tent.

  He casually sprinkled some powder used to ward off evil spirits around him, and then crawled into the tent. In the wilderness, Huo Hai would not be able to sleep soundly. Using shallow cultivation to replace sleep was a very good method.

  When the sky was slightly bright, Huo Hai walked out of the tent, packed up his things, and set off again. The Bone Refining Pill needed to be obtained as soon as possible. As long as he recovered to his peak state and his soul stabilized, he would have to start cultivating the Bone Refining Spirit Array as soon as possible.

  Huo Hai has always had a sense of crisis in his heart, this sense of crisis, from the time he was still in Xizang, already existed.

  Looking at the sky, it seems that the time of dawn here is about the same as in Western China. After such a long journey, I haven't found any significant difference in time zones between the two places. Huo Hai secretly felt a sense of awe in his heart, the Tianling Continent was much larger than he had imagined.

  All the way north, when the sun had completely jumped out of the horizon, Huo Hai had unknowingly arrived at the foot of a great mountain. The only great mountain here was Miga Mountain. Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Huo Hai found that it wasn't as clear as when he saw it from afar. It wasn't until he noticed many trees around him that he finally realized he had entered Miga Mountain.

  "This is Miga Mountain, be careful not to get ambushed." Huo Hai gently patted the gourd on his waist. This was something he had put back on after returning home, and such an obvious thing couldn't always be carried around.

  In the gourd, clusters of light spots flew out, which were the star worms that had transformed into the spiritual bone realm. After transforming, the star worms' abilities in all aspects were greatly enhanced, but they still refused to really contend with the high-ranking masters of the spiritual bone realm.

  Insects are just insects, with inherent limitations from birth. As long as they don't evolve towards gigantic size, they will never be able to directly confront large creatures of the same rank. Of course, if an insect has a very special ability, this special ability will also be amplified to the extreme. Far beyond ordinary spirit beasts, the star wasp's ability is simply eating.

  A portion of the Star Gu worms dispersed according to Huo Hai's command. The remaining ones surrounded Huo Hai, protecting him from harm at all times. After their transformation, the Star Gu's defense also greatly improved, especially against spiritual power.

  With the Star Gu's scouting and protection, Huo Hai felt a lot more at ease, but he still proceeded with caution, his speed slowing down significantly. In a place like this, one had to be constantly on guard. Huo Hai certainly didn't want to let his vigilance slip just because of the Star Gu's presence.

  When Hao Hai was completely immersed in the forest, the sun had already risen high. "It's time for breakfast." Hao Hai looked at the sky and then casually took out a piece of dry rations and started chewing on it. "Not bad taste, worth the high price." Hao Hai thought to himself as he ate. This dry ration was the most expensive among all dry rations.

  The mountains of Meijia are steep and treacherous, not as easy to climb as the southern mountains. Even a master who has not reached the spiritual blood realm would find it difficult to walk on this surface. Huo Hai had to jump up and down from time to time, sometimes even borrowing the help of large tree trunks.

  This way, Huo Hai's speed became even more sluggish. Similarly, along the way, Huo Hai also collected some spiritual medicine. These were all required for his next permanent task. Not his main goal, but still useful for earning some points and contribution. Jumping down from the tree, Huo Hai used his dagger to dig out a spiritual medicine from the ground and put it into his backpack.

  "Hmm, found the target, not bad. The kind with a big reminder, should be a Striped Deer, finally found it." Huo Hai's eyebrows rose, knowing what Xing Huang was referring to. Striped Deer, is one of the relatively stronger ones.

  A large group of striped deer, even the spiritual beasts in the Spiritual Realm, do not dare to provoke them easily. Hao Hai had investigated earlier that each horn of the striped deer can be exchanged for a contribution point from an academy. Ten eyes of the three-eyed toad can be exchanged for one contribution point. The turtle pearls and blood-red dragonflies are more difficult to obtain, so each turtle pearl and each blood-red dragonfly can also be exchanged for a contribution point.

  It's not difficult to get contributions from 200 academies. However, Hao Hai knew that what he needed was not just the Bone Refining Pill, but also a spiritual mantra that suited him once he reached the peak of bone refining.

  Adding up, there's also the various spiritual techniques and battle techniques that his sister needs, as well as a large amount of resources. Thinking about these things, Hao Hai furrowed his brow. Without sufficient contribution, he can't even get these things, the upper echelons of the academy are truly clever.

  In the blink of an eye, Huo Hai had already arrived at the place where the striped deer were touching. Perhaps because this place was close to the periphery, there weren't many striped deer here. This group only had three. They were all ordinary Linggu Bone Boundary striped deer. A pair of horns from a Linggu Bone Boundary striped deer was worth one college contribution, and several college points. With just these few, Huo Hai took a glance and ordered the Star Beasts to take action.

  Upon receiving the command, Xing Huang charged forward without hesitation towards the striped deer. The spiritual beasts had a keen sense of danger. The three striped deer sensed the danger and immediately took on an alert posture, but they didn't discover any threats.

  Just as they were somewhat perplexed, a severe pain came from their own head. It turned out that at this time, the fastest flying star worm had already hit the forehead of the Jiewenlu. The hard skull was also unable to stop the piercing of the star worm.

  Breaking through the skull, the star worms immediately ran amok in the brain of the striped deer, constantly gnawing away. At the same time, some of the star worms, following their usual rules, directly attacked the striped deer's throat. The attack was too sudden, and the striped deer had no reaction at all, and was hit. Rolling on the ground in pain, but unable to make a sound.

  After struggling for a while, the striped deer finally died on the ground, losing its voice. "The spiritual beast's vitality is indeed strong, and humans can't struggle for so long." Huo Hai sighed as he ordered Xing Juan to eat the corpse clean.

  Huo Hai didn't have that much time, and bringing back these low-value materials was of no use to him. He wanted to bring back the most valuable materials he could, in order to exchange for as many contributions to the Academy as possible. As for the Lynx, just leaving its horns behind would be enough.

  The star worm quickly swallowed the striped deer clean, without leaving a single drop of blood on the ground. There was no need to worry about the smell of blood attracting other spiritual beasts. Only three pairs of striped deer horns were left. Huo Hai took out the thin rope he had prepared early and tied the horns together in twos. The striped deer were not small in size, but their horns were not large either. It wasn't until they were dug up that Huo Hai discovered that the horns were only as thick as his fingers.

  "Open the door red, continue, strive to return early." The harvest is not big, but it's the first time to enter the account today. With the first time, the second and third times are still far away. Continue to move forward, Huo Hai feels that his footsteps have become much lighter.

  All the way, Huo Hai only found some small groups or solitary lynxes, other spiritual beasts, Huo Hai directly ignored them. If you can't earn college credits, there's no need to pay attention. When Huo Hai saw these spiritual beasts, he directly bypassed them and didn't even bother to face them. If they blocked his way, sorry, Xing Huang would directly devour them.

  After a whole day, due to the terrain here, Huo Hai didn't make much progress. The regular tasks of the four were only encountered with a few lynxes. After a day, Huo Hai counted his gains and found that they were not as many as he had imagined.

  "There are a total of twenty-three pairs of antlered deer horns, which means that only twenty-three colleges have contributed. I hope there will be more tomorrow, if it's like this every day, at least ten days will be needed to earn enough for the Bone Refining Pill. Time is not long, but what Ho Hai lacks most is time. The sense of urgency in his heart, he doesn't know why, is getting stronger and stronger."
