Chapter 335: The Return of the Saint Heir
With the aid of a map, Shi Nian spent three days and found another mountain top.
On this mountain top, most of the demon beasts were at the Qi Cultivation Stage, with those at the Foundation Establishment Stage entrenched in the core area.
The country she was in was relatively remote, and it was rare to see a proper cultivator on a normal day. The presence of a Foundation Establishment Stage demon beast on this mountain immediately turned it into an absolute Forbidden Land.
Even though humans rarely ventured here, these demon beasts, out of boredom, would descend from the mountains to hunt humans, plaguing the area for thousands of miles.
Since that was the case, there was no need for courtesy.
This was a natural leveling ground!
She had already leveled up to level ten on the previous mountain, which according to the system's conversion, was already at the Foundation Establishment standard.
It was just right to start practicing with the Qi Cultivation Stage demon beasts.
Fairly safe!
"Xiao Tong, once I enter, seal this mountain." Shi Nian said, "I want to keep these demon beasts here to hunt gradually."
They liked hunting humans outside, right?
Well, she liked hunting demon beasts too.
She had all the time in the world, so this time she would take it slow, aiming to grind Experience Points until she couldn't any more.
Xiao Tong was somewhat speechless, "Host, you don't have any Crystal Stones, how can I help you seal this mountain."
Shi Nian waved her hand grandly: "Put it on credit!"
Xiao Tong: "???"
"I am now your major creditor, and if you can't pay back the debts, I will die a miserable death. What about you? Won't you end up with nothing?" Shi Nian gently persuaded, "You know? When you owe me a thousand, you are the boss, when you owe me ten thousand, I am the boss."
Xiao Tong: "???"
"Are you really worried that I won't be able to afford the Human Realm's Crystal Stones?" Shi Nian urged, "Stop dawdling. After killing these demon beasts, I can exchange their Spirit Cores for Crystal Stones."
Xiao Tong had no choice but to reluctantly set up a Barrier.
She felt like she had gotten on board a pirate ship.
Shi Nian kept borrowing more and more, it seemed like she was about to empty out her own little treasury, right?
But now, there was no other way.
Once the Barrier was up, this place became Shi Nian's exclusive leveling ground.
She found a cave dwelling to live in, and then began to slowly hunt the demon beasts on the mountain top.
Her progress was slow, mainly because she had plenty of time.
Three months later.
The proficiency of Sky Escape Technique and Destructive God Finger rose to 2% for the first layer, and her level also reached twenty.
This was already equivalent to the upper levels of Foundation Establishment, and she was about to break through to the Golden Core Stage.
It was only then that Shi Nian went to look for that core area's Foundation Establishment Stage demon beast.
After descending the mountain, she began to search for the next leveling holy site.
After getting used to this rhythm, Xiao Tong actually started to feel satisfied.
Folks at home, it's not that she is easily fooled.
Just compare with before!
Previously, Shi Nian would just perform daily tasks and reached level twenty, which took her two full years.
This proactive approach, although still cautious, has significantly sped up the progress.
She had somewhat shown the prowess of her invincible system.
After reaching level twenty, Shi Nian realized that she seemed to be invincible in this region.
This small world was much larger than the one she was originally in, and the Western Region she was in was the most barren and had the fewest cultivators. So a Foundation Establishment Stage demon beast became a scourge to the area, known as a Great Demon.
If it were other cultivators, they would leave as soon as possible to find resource-rich places.
But Shi Nian was overjoyed.
The fact that other cultivators were reluctant to come here guaranteed her safety, and even if she couldn't gain a lot of Experience Points from battling, there were still daily tasks to do.
Take it slow!
If need be, just like her previous life, she could hibernate for ten or twenty years before emerging.
What is it but time?
She had plenty of it!
Xiao Tong had just inwardly praised that there seemed to be some progress in managing time when the next moment, she was stunned.
Damn it!
She was back to relying on the system's welfare again!
"Host! There are not many demon beasts here, why don't you leave this region? The Eastern Region here is a gathering place for cultivators, we could just go there and level up at will, couldn't we?" Xiao Tong couldn't help but persuade.
"No rush, no rush!" Shi Nian had no intention of leaving this region.
She found a wilderness mountain to stay in, and if she discovered any misbehaving demon beasts nearby, she would make a trip out, if not, she just diligently worked on daily tasks.
These days were both steadfast and safe.
Shi Nian was practically becoming addicted.
After several unsuccessful attempts at persuasion, Xiao Tong simply went to sleep.
Out of sight, out of mind!
In this desolate land of the West, Shi Nian stubbornly stayed for ten years, gradually increasing her level to fifty.
