The late-phase rank-one Monster Beasts were hard to kill.
Even with the help of the Earth Fire Formation, hunting them required quite an effort.
By the time Mo Hua arrived, the timing was just right, and in most cases, there was even time to spare.
He didn’t need to join the fight, only to find a safe place to hide and wait for the Monster Hunting to end, then come out and draw some Monster Blood with a small bottle.
Occasionally, there would be tense battles or a Monster Beast faking death; in those cases, he would cast a few Fireball Techniques, either to harass the Monster Beasts or to test whether they were really dead.
Since he had a breakthrough in his cultivation, and his Heaven Yan Jue had improved, Mo Hua’s Fireball Technique was now faster, more accurate, and more powerful.
He could form a Fireball Technique the moment he thought of it.
As Monster Hunters were at a standoff with Monster Beasts, Mo Hua’s Fireball Technique could provide a lot of help.
Most Monster Hunters were very grateful to Mo Hua and quite enthusiastic.
Generally, the Monster Hunters’ prey was not to be touched by others, but Mo Hua was an exception.
The Monster Beasts belonged to them, but all of the Monster Blood was Mo Hua’s.
Some Monster Hunters, after killing a Monster Beast, wouldn’t immediately strip the materials but would wait for a while for Mo Hua to come over to bleed it.
If Mo Hua didn’t show up, they would be rather upset, feeling that it was a pity to waste the Monster Blood.
In this way, Mo Hua was thriving in the Inner Mountain.
Being one of the Monster Hunters, his fortunes were tied to theirs, for better or worse.
With so many Monster Hunters helping him, his activities in the Inner Mountain naturally became much more convenient.
The Inner Mountain was far more dangerous than Outer Mountain.
But with formations at his disposal, Mo Hua felt that the Inner Mountain and the Outer Mountain were not so different after all.
Gradually, Mo Hua stockpiled more and more Spiritual Ink, and the strength of the Monster Hunters also grew.
With the help of formations, while their cultivations might not have increased, their combat power had significantly improved, and the time spent on Monster Hunting greatly decreased.
At the same time, the materials of the rank-one late-phase Monster Beasts obtained from Monster Hunting also increased.
These materials were sent to the Refinery Shop and Alchemist’s Business in Southern City, where they were refined into Spiritual Artifacts and Pills, then sold to cultivators in the city or to foreign merchants, earning a substantial amount of Spirit Stones.
These Spirit Stones were then distributed proportionally among the Loose Cultivators.
The Loose Cultivators of Tongxian City gradually became wealthier, and the entire city prospered without anyone noticing.
And as Tongxian City prospered, more and more cultivators of various stripes and unclear origins began to arrive…
