The blood of the Azure Scale Demon Bat is of no use to Ye Tian. Even if he lacked Crimson Dragon Golden Blood in his body, he would not consider exchanging it for this kind of blood.
Just looking at this creature is disgusting, let alone having its blood flowing within him; the thought alone is repulsive.
Moreover, according to the Spiritual Treasure Compendium, the Azure Scale Demon Bat is brutal and depraved, a disgrace among demon beasts.
However, despite Ye Tian's disdain for the Azure Scale Demon Bat, it still holds significant value because high-level demon beasts like this one typically contain inner cores that make up eighty percent of their being.
"Sister Ningyue, lend me the Azure Moon Autumn Light Sword," Ye Tian said as he reached out to Cold Moon.
With the sword in hand, Ye Tian directly swung at the head of the Azure Scale Demon Bat. He initially thought it would be as easy as cutting through tofu, but instead, it struck like hitting a hard stone, producing a clang.
The others exchanged glances, surprised by what they saw in each other's eyes.
It is known that the Azure Moon Autumn Light Sword is not made of ordinary iron; it can slice through iron like mud. The fact that it could not cut through the Azure Scale Demon Bat was indeed shocking.
"I only knew that the scales of the Azure Scale Demon Bat were tough; I didn't expect them to be this formidable," Ye Tian remarked, clicking his tongue. He channeled Martial Origin Power into the Azure Moon Autumn Light Sword and swung again.
This time, the demon bat's head fell with a thud, spraying a large amount of blood.
"It seems it was only captured recently," Ye Tian said once the demon bat's blood had drained.
Then, Ye Tian approached the altar and horizontally sliced open the demon bat's chest and abdomen with the sword.
The scene was somewhat bloody; Yun'er and Cold Moon turned away, knowing what Ye Tian was about to do next.
Buzz...
Martial Origin Power vibrated and attached a faint Aura to Ye Tian's arm. He then reached into the chest cavity of the Azure Scale Demon Bat and began to search around.
After a moment, Ye Tian smiled lightly, revealing a radiant object in his hand.
"I got it."
"This inner pill should be quite useful for you," Yun'er said, looking at the inner pill that emitted a blue light and was about the size of a goose egg.
"Yes, at a critical moment, it should help me break through to Ninth-Dan Martial Artist." Ye Tian was quite pleased, and as he withdrew the Martial Origin Power, his arm was not stained with a single drop of blood.
Of course, he did this not just for cleanliness but also because he was afraid that the blood of the Azure Scale Demon Bat might be toxic.
"Hey, there are so many treasure pearls here!"
At that moment, Duan Liu's voice came from nearby. He was squatting in front of some jars on the ground, lifting them one by one to inspect.
Hearing this, Ye Tian, along with Cold Moon and Yun'er, gathered around to take a look, and they couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
Inside those jars shaped like wine vessels, faint lights flickered, all containing Spirit Beast Inner Pills!
This was quite a significant haul. Ye Tian began to check them one by one. Although he concluded that these were merely low-tier inner pills, their quantity could still be quite impactful.
There were five small jars, each containing five to seven Spirit Beast Inner Pills. After counting, they found a total of twenty-eight inner pills!
"It seems I won't need much longer to break through to Ninth-Dan Martial Mastery," Ye Tian said.
He couldn't share these inner pills with others because they did not possess a Spirit Pouch, making them unable to withstand the impact of such spiritual energy.
Moreover, they could not learn Jujutsu because there were no corresponding elixirs to assist them. Forcing themselves to practice Jujutsu would only lead to injuries. This was also the reason why Ye Tian had never taught them Jujutsu.
As for the few basic movements taught to Leng Ping in Spirit Martial Town, they were merely the simplest actions. Persisting in practice could make the body more resilient, but it was still far from reaching the level of Jujutsu.
"I didn't expect the unexpected harvest to be so abundant!" Ye Tian was overjoyed. This time, they had just been idly helping others, and he didn't expect that doing good deeds would truly bring rewards.
"You got the treasure, and we put in the effort. How will you compensate us?" Calm Moon joked.
"You just say it; within my ability, I will definitely agree." Ye Tian replied without thinking, as he was currently immersed in happiness.
It should be noted that advancing from a Four-Stage Martial Artist to a Ninth-Dan Martial Artist was a lengthy process. Even someone as talented as Ye Tian could not complete the breakthrough in less than half a year.
Therefore, it could be said that he directly saved himself half a year's time. How long is half a year? One hundred seventy or eighty days!
There were so many things he could do with that time, so how could he not be happy?
"I don't know what to ask you to do yet, but remember, you owe each of us a promise," Cold Moon said, waving three fingers.
…………
When they returned to the town, it was already dark. However, there were still many people wandering the streets. It was now winter, and he couldn't understand what they were strolling around for.
However, upon closer inspection, one would immediately notice something unusual. These people were walking back and forth within a fixed area. Although they changed faces every once in a while, they still could not escape Ye Tian's keen observation.
"They should be from Huanggang Ridge," Ye Tian speculated.
"Huanggang Ridge? What are they doing here in the middle of the night?" Duan Liu asked in confusion.
Upon hearing this, Ye Tian seemed to ponder for a moment before suddenly realizing something. He instructed the other three not to move and said he would be back shortly.
He then quietly returned to the inn where they had previously arranged to stay and began to observe carefully once more.
At first glance, everything appeared normal, but with a patient inspection, he quickly noticed some clues.
The inn was still brightly lit, and the innkeeper and the waiter were sitting at a wooden table, occasionally glancing out at the street.
It seemed they were waiting for Ye Tian and his companions to return before closing the door.
However, in reality, it was likely that a Brute from Huanggang Ridge was controlling them, and at that moment, the inn must have been set up with traps, just waiting for Ye Tian and his group to enter.
There were two points that led to this analysis.
First, it was late at night, and their guests had not returned. Since Ye Tian's group was the only one staying there, the innkeeper and the waiter must have been weary from waiting. Yet they appeared very alert and had never left their wooden table, indicating that something frightening was keeping them under control.
Second, even if they were waiting for guests to return, they could have simply left the door slightly ajar and opened it when the guests arrived. Moreover, their table was close to the entrance; given that it was winter and the cold wind was biting at night, it made no sense for them to choose a spot away from the warmth of the fire near the door.
Third, although the entire inn was brightly lit, there were no guests present. While bright places can create a sense of security, was it really necessary to keep all the lights on in every room?
Based on this reasoning, Ye Tian deduced that there must be an ambush in place. Furthermore, after their arrival, it was likely that they had been watched by Huanggang Ridge's hidden spies. Fortunately, just as a large group arrived, Ye Tian and his companions had already set off for Tiger Head Mountain, causing both sides to miss each other.
Then Huanggang Ridge's forces prepared to lie in wait, hiding within this inn.
"Heh heh, this kind of trick has too many flaws," Ye Tian thought to himself. He wondered whether Huanggang Ridge's people were being overly clever or if the innkeeper had intentionally suggested this plan to expose their weaknesses as a warning to him.
If it was indeed Huanggang Ridge's own foolishness, then they could only be considered very stupid.
If it was the suggestion of the Old Shopkeeper, it shows that this person has a kind heart and considerable cunning. Previously, he had already seen the extraordinary identities of Ye Tian and the others.
Soon after, Ye Tian quietly withdrew. Although with his current strength, even if he charged in directly, the people from Huanggang Ridge would probably be unable to do anything to him, he did not want to do that because he already had a more interesting idea in mind.
Before long, Ye Tian returned to the place where they had parted earlier and shared what had happened with everyone.
Upon hearing this, Duan Liu blew on his fist and cursed, "Damn it! They want to ambush us? Let's kill them right back; I haven't had enough fun yet!"
"Not so fast, I have a more interesting plan," Ye Tian said with a smile, teasing them.
"What?" Duan Liu asked, wide-eyed.
"Come here," Ye Tian said mysteriously, gathering a few people together and revealing his plan.
After explaining, Duan Liu laughed heartily and patted Ye Tian on the shoulder, saying, "You're really something; let's do it this way!"
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the four of them appeared in front of the inn that served as a base for Huanggang Ridge in this small town, all wearing mischievous smiles.
This was Ye Tian's plan: while they sent people to ambush their lair and left it vulnerable, they would strike directly at Huanggang Ridge and make them wait in vain.
"Let's go." Ye Tian waved his hand and stepped directly into the inn.
The waiter, who was actually an informant for Huanggang Ridge, was stunned upon seeing Ye Tian. He never expected that Ye Tian and his companions would appear here.
For this calamity-bringer, everyone in Huanggang Ridge knew him well; today was going to be difficult for them.
At this moment, there was no need for him to disguise himself anymore. As an informant, he naturally had keen eyesight and could tell at a glance that Ye Tian already knew this place was still a stronghold of Huanggang Ridge.
This time, it should be the same as last time, aiming to uproot everything!
The waiter wanted to shout, but a trace of blood had already silently seeped from his neck. Yun'er held the Treasure Light Sword Hilt and appeared behind him.
Swish!
Blood sprayed out, and the waiter stared in shock, his eyes wide open. Before he could utter a sound, he collapsed.
Then, a few people quietly went upstairs. Since they had stayed here before, they knew that there were definitely many bandits from Huanggang Ridge on the third floor and in the backyard.
First, they silently dealt with the bandits on the third floor, then headed to the backyard. Everything was done without a sound, causing no disturbance.
There weren't many bandits left in the backyard because most had been sent to ambush Ye Tian and others, while some were patrolling the streets. In any case, within less than an incense stick's time, all the bandits occupying the inn were cleaned out completely.
"Now what? Should we go back?" Duan Liu asked as he wiped the blood from his fists.
"Go back for what? Let's head to the streets and continue," Ye Tian said with a smile.
After saying that, he stepped outside and headed towards where the bandits from Huanggang Ridge were patrolling.
