The Mysterious Fragrance Forest. Its name might sound pleasant, but it's a place teeming with endless danger!
Lin Xuan had come to this very forest to hunt a specific Demon Beast: a giant bear at the Spirit Refining Stage. These bears weren't considered exceptionally difficult; any Cultivator at the Spirit Refining Stage, as long as they weren't too weak, could hunt one.
The reason Zhang Qi looked down on Lin Xuan was the massive gap between their abilities. While Demon Beasts could be a bit dim-witted, the giant bears had tough hides and thick flesh, making their defenses incredibly difficult to breach under normal circumstances. What's more, these bears were always at the Spirit Refining Stage, almost never appearing at the Body Refining Stage. If a bear at the Eighth or Ninth Layer of the Spirit Refining Stage showed up, Lin Xuan wouldn't even know what hit him.
For Lin Xuan, at only the Ninth Layer of Body Refining Stage, to choose this area was practically a death wish.
