Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 303 - 127: Exploration Complete, Moving to Divine Wood Hall

Chapter 303: Chapter 127: Exploration Complete, Moving to Divine Wood Hall

Li Yuan nodded, took it, looked at it for a while, then turned and handed it to Tang Nian.

This "Ghost Fragrance" is a type of compound incense.

Its formula contains two auxiliary fragrances,

One is "Shadow Fragrance", which is made from the bones of a Seventh Grade Demon Beast. Its function is as a "cultivation item that can be used for longer when demon beast meat is insufficient." Once ignited, it can stimulate the martial artist’s blood and assist in cultivation, though it can’t compare to directly eating demon beast meat. Strangely, this "meat fragrance" has a considerable attraction to demon beasts.

The other is "Fire Fierce Incense", a very rich fragrance that is not easily diluted.

The main fragrance is made from an herb called "Ice Bone Flower".

This "Ice Bone Flower", also known as "Little Ice Stick", is recorded in this formula and is unknown to outsiders.

It is a peculiar white, cold, and extremely fragile plant.

The growth area is in the direction of that small village just pointed out by Gongshan Jun.

Li Yuan suddenly said, "Is that small village the Ghost Realm?"

Mu Gou the Fourth nodded and said, "Gongshan Jun told me, it is the Ghost Realm, but as long as we don’t enter the Ghost Realm, generally nothing will happen. This Ice Bone Grass is picked on the outskirts of the Ghost Realm, using Shadow Blood to resist Yin Qi."

Li Yuan closed his eyes, and in that instant, he understood the pharmacology of this "Ghost Fragrance".

Using plants infused with powerful Yin Qi as medicine, combined with a fragrance that attracts demon beasts, causing the Shadow Blood within the demon beasts to stagnate upon inhalation, making their legs weak, similar to a "normal person being intoxicated."

"What kind of Ghost Realm is it?" Li Yuan asked again.

Mu Gou the Fourth replied, "To report to the master, I didn’t dare to look or get close, I only heard from Gongshan Jun... it’s a small village."

A village?

Li Yuan frowned slightly.

He immediately recalled the village he had once seen.

Desolate, moldy, like a massive corpse.

Inside the village were small bridges and flowing water, with some eerie black dots floating in it.

Back then, an old tiger named Xiaohuang went with him, and then they fled together...

The memory is vivid, and even now thinking about it sends chills down his spine.

He had Mu Gou the Fourth draw a map of the surrounding mountainous terrain and marked the approximate location of the village.

Comparing the route and time, Li Yuan realized it was very likely that village.

He looked at the map.

To the north of the map was the wilderness of Huishan County.

To the west were mountains, and after a long mountain road, it could lead to Qiutang County.

To the north, there would be more and more demon beasts.

And to the east... was this village.

Li Yuan thought for a moment and then dismissed the idea of investigating.

However, this Ghost Realm was quite peculiar, with "Ice Bone Flowers" growing on the outside, a plant that could restrain demon beast Shadow Blood... not seen elsewhere.

It could be considered a local specialty of the Ghost Realm.

No wonder Gongshan Jun set up a settlement here to capture demon beasts. As for Gongshan Jun’s other purposes, Li Yuan did not know...

However, is it possible that there is a force behind Gongshan Jun?

Gongshan Jun gathered demon hunters here, adding to the plans of this force.

Yet, according to Mu Gou the Fourth, Gongshan Jun came thirty years ago and has stayed here ever since.

What force in the world would send a Sixth Grade Expert to stay in the deep mountains for thirty years? Just to catch demon beasts?

After many thoughts flashed by, Li Yuan put these distractions aside and decided to head north to see if there was a place suitable for human habitation.

With the terrain map provided by Mu Gou the Fourth, he had some understanding of the big mountain, so he wouldn’t be running around aimlessly...

"To the south, there are four mountain paths.

The left path cannot be taken, as a section of this path is covered within the range of the Ghost Realm, but the entrant is unaware... Once passed, it’s equivalent to entering the village’s Ghost Realm.

So, it’s a path where anyone who goes dies... but it’s also where demon hunters collect Ice Bone Flowers.

Fortunately, I tamed these demon hunters in advance, otherwise, this place would be a dead end.

Going to explore alone means death.

Asked the demon hunters, they, wanting to keep the Ice Bone Flowers secret, would deceive you into going to your death."

"As for the middle two mountain paths, the paths are similar, leading to the Sunset Rain Plain.

Demon hunters mostly hunt in the open spaces, woods, or by the ponds around these two mountain paths.

These two paths should be very long, and demon hunters only explored the front small section, the latter path should have more powerful demon beasts..."

Li Yuan stared for a long time, feeling these two paths were like "air vents."

But they weren’t venting air, they were venting demon beasts...

Living in such a place, whether penetrating deeply or not, is meaningless because it is destined to face endless demon beast harassment.

"But perhaps I can use my Demon Taming Skill to tame a few formidable demon beasts to help guard the house?"

After brief consideration, Li Yuan shook his head again.

"This path leads to the Sunset Rain Plain.

The Sunset Rain Plain is known as the paradise of demon beasts, with Fifth Grade, Fourth Grade, and even higher grade demon beasts bound to be there.

As long as one comes... it will be a big problem.

And I have no way to tame higher-grade demon beasts.

Living in the human world, at least I can anticipate danger and take preventive measures; living in this air vent means living in constant fear."

Then, Li Yuan looked towards the rightmost mountain path.

"This path is strange, with almost no demon beasts, but it’s unknown where it leads...

Demon hunters have explored the path several times, but either found nothing or... went missing after going deeper."
