Making Igneo/Ice essence bars?

[Myorp]

So for spots where you need fire or ice items I see ice or fire bars being recommended until you get high level stuff, but they take beast blood to smelt. I'm having a tough time finding info on it but as far as i can tell beast blood only comes from large monster animals. So if you didn't start with these bars initially, how to do you approach making a cultivation set up to be strong enough to get the blood for the bars? Or are they easier to get then I'm thinking?

Beast have cultivation state too, those golden core and above may drop soul pearls. But typically you'll only encounter qi shaping or core shaping ones early on.

Beasts respawn in generated maps in world areas. They are typically qi shaping or core shaping so should not be a problem if you are a golden core or have multiple core shaping cultivators. Don't need to be T1 either...T7 golden core is still about 10+ times more powerful than a core shaping in terms of max Qi.

If you want to farm a lot of beast bloods, camp at beast cave near Mt. Hundred Insects and enter it and kill all the beast there, bring more than 1 cultivator as each can only carry 6 items.

Even nearby areas have beasts to kill, from mt fullmoon to nanping village. Camp, enter, kill, loot, leave and repeat.

You don't really need perfect setup at the start as long as it's not negative fengshui (Earth overcomes water). Early, the fire and water feed based ones(Earth and Wood cultivators) are dangerous since it will roast or freeze you if temperature is not properly balanced out in additional of uncommon Qi gathering materials... You should not pick those as starters, Fire cultivator is the recommended...

Just pump out a bunch of medicore inners, only later you start to make suitable T1 golden cores(Fire cultivator is easiest since you only need spirit wood). Write a bunch of spirit travel, foreseer and invisible talisman and farm the world with your army of inners...
