Cultivator With Modern AI

Chapter 500 Dark Creatures

"We are really lucky! We were sent to this place again." As he picked various herbs in the vast field, an old man exclaimed excitedly.

Another old man nodded in agreement, and he also picked various kinds of rare herbs. "You're right, Du Jian. This is truly a great opportunity for us, and with these herbs we can make the finest pills to match Liu Ying."

"Sect Master Yan, wasn't that young man from before Liu Ying's son?" Du Jian asked.

"Yes, he is indeed Liu Ying's son."

"Don't you feel strange about him? I tried to detect his cultivation, but I can't see it."

"Maybe he used a certain artifact to hide his cultivation from us." Yan Jin then sighed heavily before continuing. "Compared to her son, I am more curious about Liu Ying's pills, and even the quality of her basic pills is far above ours. Apart from the basic pills, her other pills are also of superior grade, and their effects are also amazing."

"Where exactly did Liu Ying get all his pill recipes from?" Du Jian asked curiously. "To make matters worse, since she started selling his pills, people have become reluctant to buy pills and potions in our shops, and sales in our shops have continued to decline."

Yan Jin did not immediately answer Du Jian's question, and he had many things going through his mind while picking the herbs. A few moments later, he said. "A few months ago, I had several people investigate her. They reported to me that she met an old alchemist from the Holy Central Continent, and that person gave her a recipe to restore Xia Tian's spiritual roots, so I think that person also gave her all the pill recipes. Moreover, Liu Ying once held the title of genius young alchemist, and her talent in alchemy was second to none in her generation, so I would no longer be surprised if she could concoct superior-grade pills."

Du Jian sighed heavily after hearing that. He himself still clearly remembered Liu Ying's past alchemy abilities; she could even concoct high-grade pills at the age of 15, and she became the mainstay of the Vermilon Imperial Sect.

Unfortunately, by the time Liu Ying was nearly 20 years old, she had run away from her sect and family with her lover, and they ended up getting married.

Since then, Liu Ying never appeared in public as an alchemist again and chose to focus on her family, so her name became more and more forgotten as time passed, and only a few people still remembered her and her alchemy abilities.

But now, Liu Ying has reappeared before the public as an alchemist, and her alchemy skills have not faded in the slightest; instead, her alchemy abilities have become even more terrifying, thanks to the Ancient Alchemy Secret Technique that Xia Tian gave her and added to the guidance of the only Alchemist God, Qiao Xiao.

Du Jian then came up with an idea and conveyed it to Yan Jin. "Sect Master Yan, what if we force Liu Ying to share the pill recipes with us? That way we can also concoct the same pills, and we can share the market with her, or else our alchemy guild will be looked down upon by people."

But Yan Jin shook his head; he himself also had such an idea before, but he immediately abandoned the idea after he remembered about the people with close ties to the Xia Manor family. "Unfortunately, we can't do that, Old Du. You yourself know that Xia Tian is the son-in-law of Zhu Yuhe and Bai Zhongyu, and he is also the future son-in-law of Murong Feiyan and Xiang Yin. Our alchemist guild is strong, but if we force Liu Ying to share her recipes with us, then we won't be strong enough to face their wrath at the same time."

Du Jian took a deep breath after hearing that. "I don't know how that brat got so lucky; in this southern continent, no one would dare to go against him and his family, especially since the four great men supported them."

"One more thing, Old Du." Yan Jin's expression turned ugly, remembering the past incident. "Back then, you were still in seclusion, so you didn't witness the destruction of the Luo main family. A very strong man and two women suddenly appeared to help Liu Ying and the others destroy them, and they were much stronger than Zhu Yuhe."

? Du Jian was shocked to hear that, and he immediately pushed his plan out of his mind. Because destroying a main family like the Luo family is not a trivial matter, and they are not strong enough against such people.

After they finished harvesting so many herbs, Yan Jin and Du Jian suddenly saw a portal appear in the middle of the field, and they immediately entered it.

However, the moment they exited the portal, they were immediately surrounded by countless living skeletons, so they immediately drew their weapons to fight the enemies.

"Watch out!" Yan Jin yelled as he grabbed Du Jian, and he brought him flying up the tree behind them to avoid the attacks that were coming their way.

*boom*

A huge explosion occurred, and a small crater appeared in the area where they had been standing before, and they could see a dark creature in the center of the crater.

The creature itself was really gigantic; it had a cat-like head with very long horns on top of its head; its four legs were muscular; and its claws were also sharp and long; even all over its body, it had lots of sharp black hair like porcupine quills.

"What the hell is that creature? I have never seen such a big creature before." Du Jian said in shock, and he gripped his weapon tightly, while his eyes glanced at the living skeletons, trembling at the presence of the creatures.

Yan Jin immediately enveloped his body with energy; he felt the hairs on his body stand up, and the aura of the beast in made him feel unprecedented fear. "Old Du, you have to be careful; this monster's aura is really unusual, and I have never felt this kind of fear before."

The dark creature stared at them with blood-red eyes; its nose released jet black smoke, and the smoke moved towards Yan Jin and Du Jian at a fast speed.

Seeing that, the two men immediately flew into the air to avoid it, and as they expected, the smoke couldn't reach them.

*Roar*

Suddenly, the dark creature roared so loud as it stomped its forelegs onto the ground, and its action made the ancient ruin tremble violently.

In the next instant, Yan Jin and Du Jian's eyes widened in shock as they saw two enormous wings appear on the creature's back, and it glared at them disdainfully.

"Fuck!"

"Run!"

The two men shouted and flew away with all their might, but the creature immediately flew after them. Despite its humongous body, its flight speed was extremely fast, and the movement of its wings sent the living skeletons flying apart.

"Let's split up, Old Du!"

"Okay!"

They immediately flew in opposite directions, the creature immediately stopped flying and glanced at them in turn while sniffing their scent, and it finally decided to chase after Du Jian.

"What the fuck! Why is that creature chasing me!?" Du Jian cursed and accelerated his flying speed. "Fuck! If I keep flying at this speed, then my energy will be drained quickly."

Meanwhile, Yan Jin suddenly discovered a gap in one of the area's walls; he then flew towards the gap and sent a voice transmission to Du Jian.

After listening to his voice transmission, Du Jian immediately flew towards him at great speed, and the dark creature kept following him from behind.

Unfortunately, Du Jian's fate was so bad that just as he was about to arrive at Yan Jin's place, another dark creature suddenly appeared before him. It was like a huge bat, but its head was that of a fox, and its eyes were also blood red.

"No way!" Du Jian could no longer avoid the second dark creature, and it immediately opened its mouth wide and ate him alive.

Seeing that, Yan Jin felt a pang in his heart, and he immediately walked down the pass.

The two dark creatures stared at each other for a moment, then turned into black smoke, and the two entered the pass and followed Yan Jin.
