Bang… Bang… Bang…
The Yellow Turban Warrior didn't need to be controlled; he self-reliantly chose one of the Green-Eyed White Toads and attacked it.
He Pingsheng, on the other hand, confronted the other one.
At this moment, he finally had the leisure to carefully examine the Yao Beast before him.
A Green-Eyed White Toad.
Only its eyes were emerald green, while its body from head to toe was white.
Moreover, this creature was massive, a full five feet in size.
It looked as large as a calf, which was quite terrifying.
Its gaping maw could directly swallow a sheep.
He Pingsheng had never seen such a gigantic toad or frog in his life, and for a moment, he was even somewhat horrified.
But as the battle continued, the terror in He Pingsheng's heart gradually disappeared.
Because he discovered that although this Green-Eyed White Toad was enormous and looked intimidating, and its Cultivation was equivalent to a human Cultivator at the Peak of the Qi Refinement Stage, around the twelfth layer.
But in reality, its combat power was limited.
Firstly, because He Pingsheng was immune to all poisons.
And this creature's main attack method was poison.
If the poison was useless, then the threat to He Pingsheng was basically gone.
Secondly, the Green-Eyed White Toad's intelligence was not high; apart from attacking and defending, it basically had no strategies or methods to employ.
Unlike the Senior Brother and Junior Sister of the Zhuang family that He Pingsheng had encountered before, who were both incredibly insidious and cunning.
“Slash…”
After about half an incense stick's worth of entanglement, He Pingsheng easily plunged his top-grade Flying Sword into the White Toad's body.
Pfft…
Bright red blood gushed out.
After suffering such severe injuries, the White Toad directly turned its head, trying to retreat back into the water.
He Pingsheng naturally wouldn't give it this chance.
“Slash…”
Pfft, pfft, pfft…
After several consecutive flashes of sword light fell, the Green-Eyed White Toad rolled its eyes and breathed its last.
Although the other Green-Eyed White Toad, which was fighting the Yellow Turban Warrior, was not injured, seeing its companion die like that, it also developed an intention to retreat.
However, He Pingsheng wouldn't give it a chance either; he raised his hand, and the sword fell, slaying it with one strike.
The simple battle ended.
There was no heart-stopping suspense, nor any twists.
It was a very straightforward one-sided affair.
“Collect!”
He Pingsheng lightly shouted, and the Yellow Turban Warrior immediately dispersed, transforming into countless golden Spiritual Qi that returned to He Pingsheng's body.
Looking at the two poisonous toad corpses before him, He Pingsheng naturally wouldn't give up on them.
He was currently Cultivating the Divine Ability of the Nine Poison Golden Body, so the toxins within these poisonous toads naturally had to be utilized.
Walking over to the poisonous toad's corpse, he infused a trace of Spiritual Power into his small Flying Sword, and the Flying Sword transformed into a dagger-like size, a foot long.
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…”
With a light cut, the poisonous toad's flesh was directly sliced open by him!
Whoosh, blood, along with internal organs He Pingsheng didn't recognize, flowed all over the ground.
He Pingsheng discovered that the poisonous toad's skin was not white, but green.
The reason it appeared white just now was because a layer of white, waxy substance was attached to its skin.
He Pingsheng gently scraped the poisonous toad's skin a few times with his Flying Sword, and chunks of white toad venom fell to the ground.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…
When the toad venom was thrown on the ground, the unknown plants growing on the ground instantly withered, then turned into ashes.
“Good heavens…” He Pingsheng said in shock, “This thing, is it that poisonous?”
Toad venom is also a type of poison!
“Collect it!” He Pingsheng became excited, “This is good stuff! Keep it to use for Body Refining!”
Body Refining requires various poisons, the more the better.
Currently, He Pingsheng had only just begun to Cultivate the Qi Refining chapter of the Nine Poison Golden Body, reaching merely the first layer.
There was still a long way to go!
In no time at all, he scraped off all the poisonous venom from both White Toads, piling it together into a large chunk, weighing a full ten pounds or so.
After collecting the poisonous venom, He Pingsheng continued to cut open the poisonous toad's corpse.
Because his Cultivation was too low, it was impossible for a Yao Beast of this level to have a Demonic Core, but it certainly had a Poison Core.
After a few breaths, He Pingsheng found a white Poison Core within the poisonous toad's body.
It was about the size of a fist, felt cool to the touch, and wisps of white poisonous Qi were still emanating from it, making it appear as pure white as ice from a distance.
“A white Poison Core, that's quite rare!” He Pingsheng naturally didn't stand on ceremony and collected both the white Poison Core and the poisonous venom.
Two Poison Cores and over ten pounds of poisonous venom; this would be enough for a long period of Cultivation.
These creatures were large; they were much bigger than the Poison Cores from the Tiger-striped Golden Bees, with one being worth tens of thousands of those poisonous bees.
After taking the Poison Cores and poisonous venom, He Pingsheng then peeled off the skins of these two poisonous toads.
These were good things.
The skin of a Yao Beast, once cut, could directly become talisman paper, and if sold at a merchant association, it could fetch a good number of Spirit Stones!
So, they couldn't be discarded!
With everything done, the sky gradually darkened.
The setting sun withdrew its last ray of light.
He Pingsheng found an open space beside the pond and arranged the top-grade Formation Materials according to a specific pattern.
Soon, a Defense Array was opened.
Staying within a Defense Array at night; this was how He Pingsheng had spent these past few days!
Most of the Yao Beasts in the Secret Realm were First Grade Qi Refinement Stage Yao Beasts; even if these Yao Beasts discovered the Formation, they wouldn't be able to break through it.
No need to worry.
As for Second Grade Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beasts?
He had heard of them before, but they were extremely rare, basically impossible to exist.
If such a creature existed, it would definitely be a nightmare for Qi Refinement Stage Disciples.
Once one appeared, the Dao Xuan Alliance would dispatch Cultivators in groups to enter and eliminate that Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beast.
Upon entering the Formation, the first thing to do was to take out his gathering treasure basin.
And also put the Poison Cores, poisonous venom, and other items into it.
In these past few days, he had gained quite a lot in this Secret Realm.
Excluding the slaying of the two Zhuang family members and the bee jelly he obtained, He Pingsheng also acquired many First Grade Spiritual Plants.
But these things gradually made him feel somewhat uninteresting.
First Grade Spiritual Plants were not very valuable.
Moreover, these things could basically be bought with Spirit Stones, without much effort.
He suddenly felt like going to the location of the zhu yu fruit marked by the Zhuang family.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was something he would need sooner or later.
There were three Bottlenecks in the Qi Refinement Stage: breaking from the tenth to the eleventh layer, from the eleventh to the twelfth layer, and another was breaking from the twelfth layer to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
This Foundation Establishment Pill was not a mandatory item.
For some Genius Disciples, they could enter the Foundation Establishment Stage without a Bottleneck even without a Foundation Establishment Pill.
But for most people, there was at least one Bottleneck, and that was Foundation Establishment.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was one of the Heaven And Earth Treasure for breaking through Bottlenecks.
And to break this Bottleneck, only the Foundation Establishment Pill could be used.
For He Pingsheng, who had a Five Elements Spiritual Root, the importance of the Foundation Establishment Pill was self-evident.
Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Pill was a Second Grade Medicinal Pill, and both the Medicinal Pill itself and its Materials were extremely precious.
If he could obtain the zhu yu fruit, whether to sell it or keep it for Alchemy, it would be a good choice.
