No doubt this is a level one Contaminated Area, though it's just the edge.

But there are many high-strength monsters, and early in the morning, monsters were already fighting over the territory and corpses of the beautiful snake.

Those were two giant monsters.

Both had skull heads, flames rising in their eye sockets, with a Qi Blood Value of around three million.

"Disturbing my dreams, a sure path to death."

Xu Ran floated over and killed them with two slashes; three million Qi Blood Value was nothing in Xu Ran's eyes.

And they couldn't be eaten.

Even in the unpolluted old era, large animals were not popular for food. The bigger they were, the more toxic heavy metals accumulated. For example, a bear's internal organs, even hunting dogs wouldn't eat them. And a wild boar over three hundred pounds, once its yellow hair was gone, the stench couldn't be suppressed no matter what spices were used.

That was during the old era; now in the Contaminated Area, the pollution in their bodies was even more severe. They started rotting not long after dying.

Of course.

They weren't completely useless.

The progress of [Super Explosion Slash] +1…

The progress of [Super Explosion Slash] +1…

Taking down two dumb creatures.

Xu Ran chopped some ordinary wood and caught several hazel chicken-like creatures. These creatures weighed only about half a pound, covered in feathers, and were short-lived, with a certain resistance to pollution, though not as good as a Light Turtle Shell.

But in the Contaminated Area, they were excellent food.

However.

Long-term consumption is not advisable, as it would harm the body. Therefore, usually, the Godslaying Squad brings compressed biscuits, eating a roasted hazel chicken and hot food every three to five days to recover their state.

Of course.

With the [Little Purification Treasure Talisman], the Godslaying Squad no longer worries about pollution. Just stick a Talisman on the hazel chicken, in over ten minutes, the pollution is completely purified, with a touch of sweet Spiritual Qi.

The Godslaying Squad and exploration teams couldn't thank Xu Ran enough.

The principal often said, "When you go out, everyone outside is your connection. Just say you're Xu Ran, and the Godslaying Squad will immediately take good care of you!"

Thinking of this, Xu Ran smiled faintly.

He cleaned and washed the two hazel chickens in the bath, placed the Talismans on them, then roasted them to perfection in the valley and enjoyed a meal.

He then started his mountain-searching and demon-subduing operation.

On one hand, he wanted to chop exotic tree species to steal Venerable Golden Blood; 20 trees equaled one drop of Venerable Golden Blood. With some effort, securing several drops a day would feel fantastic!

In 100 days, his Cultivation level would skyrocket!

On the other hand, he also needed to find altars and Array-like structures to learn from them.

In summary.

After discovering that reading could bring wealth, Xu Ran couldn't stop.

Full and satisfied, he set off.

Exotic trees were particularly noticeable, generally about a hundred meters tall, standing prominently among the mountains, some even red with eerie mist around them.

And under such trees, there were often monsters guarding them, rubbing the trunks with Crystal Armor, stripping the bark bare.

The progress of [Super Explosion Slash] +1…

[Obtained Venerable Golden Blood +0.05, currently possessing 0.1 drops of Venerable Golden Blood…]

With one slash, the tree split in half, and Xu Ran devoured the core.

"I don't even know what species these trees are. Would cutting too many trigger pursuit by Divine Level creatures?"

Xu Ran frowned slightly.

"Never mind, chop first and worry later; as for being chased… that's a problem for another day."

Xu Ran stood high, surveying the land-forming mountains. In the distance, there was a giant tree, as if it held a unique territory.

Running around was quite troublesome.

In one day, from six in the morning to six in the afternoon, twelve hours, he managed to chop exactly 20 trees.

The level of one drop of Venerable Golden Blood.

All the time was spent on traveling…

"But it's still okay… a net gain of one million Qi Blood Value in 100 days, so satisfying!"

Pressing one drop of Venerable Golden Blood into his heart.

Xu Ran's Qi Blood Value rapidly rose to 460,000 points.

At almost nine years old, with a Qi Blood Value of 460,000 points, he was creating legend.

After dinner.

Following the rhythm of last night, he dug a cave dwelling, and Xu Ran cultivated and inscribed Talismans inside.

At ten thirty.

He took a bath and went to sleep as planned, without washing clothes today.

Directly utilizing Invisibility, he hung upside down on the air wall.

In the following period, Xu Ran frantically chopped trees, engaged in combat with Crystal Beasts, with Qi Blood Value exceeding one million. Just like tigers, these Crystal Beasts preferred solitude, giving Xu Ran opportunities to launch surprise attacks.

Of course, some Crystal Beasts, like bears, lacked strong territorial awareness and would gather in groups of three or five.

Encountering this type, as long as their Qi Blood Value didn't exceed four million, they were like chicks in front of Xu Ran, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

In a flash, 60 days passed.

The crazed tree-chopping Xu Ran had felled 960 Exotic Giant Woods.

Though it seemed an insignificant number, in reality, Xu Ran had traversed an area the size of two provinces, battling in the level one Contaminated Area forests…

One drop after another pressed into his heart.

His Qi Blood Value soared, reaching the million-point threshold, namely the Mountain Realm peak!

In his juvenile period for 3,358 days.

Xu Ran found a cave, developed a cave dwelling, set up Paperman Guardians, and in a perfect Invisibility state, sat cross-legged.

Pressing a drop of Venerable Golden Blood into his heart.

The surging golden drop stirred Xu Ran's meridians, the Qi Blood within rushing, breaking open acupoints in his body. As acupoints opened, they transformed into abyssal ancient pools, allowing Xu Ran to wildly accumulate Qi Blood Value, leading to an exponential increase in Cultivation speed.

"A Yue Realm master now! Qi Blood like a mountain!"
