"So, tell me, what are you hiding from me?" Yang Zhai asked the screaming cultivator.
"Ahaaa! I promise, Ahhhhhhh, I am not hiding… anything,"
Aahhhhhhhh!
The cultivator was in pain and hardly replied.
Yang Zhai did not say anything. After a while, he slashed the cultivator's head. The blood gushed out of the cultivator's neck. Yang Zhai jumped backward to avoid the blood from spilling on him.
After that, he killed the remaining mortal, who was injured and lying on the ground. Then he checked their bodies and found nothing of value, except for seven essence stones. After doing all of this, he sat down and absorbed spiritual energy from the essence stones.
His essence water was only eight percent left. He needed to absorb more essence water to go any further. After all, he could not just rely on his body and physical strength. A person would always be in danger as some unexpected situation may arise at any moment. And Yang Zhai did not want to rely on chances; therefore, he wanted to restore his essence water first.
Even though Yellow Sun had the ability to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world and convert it into essence water, its absorbing speed was too slow. It would take almost ten hours to fill an empty aperture fully. So, it would take five hours for Yang Zhai to fill his essence water in the aperture to sixty-two percent with the help of the Yellow Sun. It might seem useless, however, Yang Zhai knew just how important this Sun was. This Yellow Sun was no small thing, as it had the ability to almost replace essence water.
A cultivator needed essence water to activate cultivation methods. Techniques, Ka, and treasures, all of these needed essence water for a cultivator to activate these methods. So, it could be imagined just how much of valuable was the Sun to be able to replace even essence water.
There were three main methods for a cultivator to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside world. One was through the body, the second was through the aperture and the third was through the Sun.
Yellow Sun was so tough that no method in the world could break it or damage it, not even the immortals. Only the owner himself could destroy their own sun, just one thought from the owner was enough to break it. It was one of the biggest mysteries in the world of cultivation, even bigger than Blue Gem. Even Yang Zhai did not understand it fully or what it was, except for the fact that it was a Sun. Yellow Sun, a thing so tough that even immortal methods could not destroy, was so fragile that even a single thought from the owner could destroy it. However, cultivators still preferred to use essence water. Even if the Sun could replace the essence water, it was still not as convenient as essence water. Essence water was much easier to use than the Sun. At Rank three, it will awaken more abilities that were more useful.
Yang Zhai took ten minutes, after which, he went to look for the Moon Bull.
After walking for fifteen minutes, he saw a Bull, that was eating moon grass. Moon Bull was of red color with red eyes. Moon Bulls had many colors, just like the moon. It had two horns on its head. Moon Bull had a very special ability and that was that at night, it becomes stronger. So strong that it could even cross one or two ranks at night to fight a higher-rank beast or cultivator.
However, during the day, Moon Bulls become like normal bulls. It's just that their skin was tougher than normal bulls, and their strength was also slightly higher than normal bulls. And as the rank of the Moon bulls increases, their strength also gets stronger. Such as a rank two moon bull could rival two normal bulls during the day and a rank three Moon bull could rival four normal bulls. However, at night, their strength increases tremendously.
That was the reason Yang Zhai wanted its ability. To Yang Zhai, it was not just limited to just increasing his strength during the night, but much more. He could use this ability in many different ways.
Yang Zhai looked around to see if there were other bulls around as well.
"No other Moon bull is around. It would have been nice if there was. Sigh, whatever, I can take care of it myself." Yang Zhai heaved a sigh.
It was because Moon bulls would usually stay away from each other if there was no leader, meaning a high-rank Moon bull that could lead many low-rank Moon bulls. They were not the beasts to live in groups. If even a single disagreement occurs between them, they would fight to the death. Such as, if they even accidentally touched each other slightly, they would start fighting, or if one bull mistakenly eats the Moon grass that some other Moon bull was about to eat, there were many more small things like this, on which these Moon bulls would start fighting. They were aggressive beasts. If there were two Moon bulls, Yang Zhai could have made them fight each other until one died. This was one of the reasons mortals were able to hunt these bulls easily.
Yang Zhai knew what he needed to do. Thus, he jumped on a tree and started to close the distance between himself and the Moon bull by jumping over the branches of the trees. He did not use long-range techniques because he did not want to injure the Moon bull heavily and waste its essence by corrupting it with the power of the techniques, which were considered corrupted powers to begin with. It would have been fine if he had more Moon bulls, this way, wasting a little bit of the essence of the Moon bulls would not matter. However, he didn't have the time or the resources to hunt more Moon bulls.
After arriving above the Moon bull, Yang Zhai used the Wooden Fists Ka and his hands turned brown. After doing this, he jumped from the tree and hit the bull's head heavily with his right fist, and its head struck heavily on the ground.
