Xu Ran landed in front of the giant tree corpse and carved out a section of the scar. Some of the tree scars turned into burls, while some strange types of wood could turn into incense, like agarwood.

The scar in front of him was as thick as a baby's small arm.

Completely red like a gemstone.

[Detected a devourable strange wood core that can be devoured into Venerable Golden Blood.]

[Extraction successful: Venerable Golden Blood +0.05 drops, currently possessing 5.05 drops.]

Xu Ran was astonished for a long time.

"Just 0.05 points for such a good guy? Cutting down 10 trees like this would only give me 0.5 drops, cutting 100 trees would give me 5 drops. Does this mean one tree equals 500 Qi Blood Value points?"

"If I want to get rich, won't I have to turn into Bald Qiang and crazily chop trees?"

"Alright then, considering it's not particularly good wood. I'll explore further inside; maybe I'll find good wood that gives me 0.1 drops of Venerable Golden Blood in one go, then that would be awesome!"

Xu Ran's eyes gleamed.

"Finding devourable treasures that turn into Venerable Golden Blood is a huge gain!"

"I don't even know the patterns of these giant trees; perhaps all unique plant creatures can be devoured into Venerable Golden Blood."

"If that's truly the case, then the Contaminated Area is a super gold mine."

Xu Ran suddenly laughed very happily.

This trip wasn't in vain!

So what if I turn into Bald Qiang, it's still all about chopping, chopping, chopping.

Chopping monsters is no different from chopping wood!

Besides, he can chop wood and monsters at the same time, two birds with one stone!

Laughed softly.

Xu Ran shuttled through the mountain ranges.

He caught a few less contaminated hazel-grouse-like creatures, posted a Purification Talisman to extract the contamination from them, and roasted them in the mountains.

The taste was not bad.

Chomped away happily.

Xu Ran felt satisfied and continued to roam the mountains.

And on a secluded mountain top.

He stopped and lowered his gaze, showing a satisfied expression.

Here, the strange woods were thriving, and dense grass concealed a narrow cave. Inside the cave, there seemed to be water flowing, which appeared to be not too severely contaminated.

Xu Ran nodded and landed in front of the cave. He expanded the cave with a knife, carving out a room and a hall, and carved out a pool to collect the water flow.

After finishing all of that.

He blocked the cave entrance with a stone, leaving only three small ventilation holes.

By this point.

From outside, it was impossible to see into the cave through the messy trees and grass. Even if powerful monsters passed by, they wouldn't realize someone was hiding inside. Even if they sensed it, they'd just assume it was some other monster.

They wouldn't pay too much attention.

He placed a few Little Purification Treasure Talismans around the lair and pool, and the air quickly became fresh. Drops of Spiritual Qi gradually enriched the cave, making it particularly comfortable.

The water in the pool also gradually became clear.

Xu Ran smiled faintly.

He dug out an escape passage over a hundred meters long inside the mountain.

Then placed a few papermen at the cave entrance.

After all the preparations were complete.

Xu Ran took out 5 drops of Venerable Golden Blood and slapped them into his heart. His cultivation quickly soared to 450,000 points.

"Very good."

Xu Ran began his daily discipline…

Two hours later, he started carving talismans. With enough backup talismans, the rest were fed to the Light Turtle Shell.

After being busy for a while.

Xu Ran took off his clothes, took a bath, and washed his clothes as well. It's a bit troublesome to bathe in the Contaminated Area, but Xu Ran had pretty good methods. It's just that he hadn't learned the Life Talisman, otherwise his quality of life would improve even more.

Finished washing the clothes.

Xu Ran lay down naked.

Slept for six hours.

Suddenly, in the distance, a tremor arose, the cave shuddered, and the stones above seemed like they would shatter at any moment and crush Xu Ran to death!

"There's a super strong combat going on!"

Xu Ran quickly got up, swiftly put on his half-wet clothes, and disappeared from the cave in the blink of an eye…

Standing on the high mountain peak, the boy in an invisibility state, his gaze directed towards the source of the tremor…
