A Qi swallowed the pill, and his expression became strange. Suddenly, he let out a painful cry and fell to the ground with a thud.
"A Qi! A Qi!" Xu Feng shouted in panic, rushing over to hold A Qi. "What’s wrong, A Qi? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Quickly, spit out the pill!" While speaking, he hurriedly tried to pry open A Qi's mouth.
What went wrong? How could A Qi be poisoned?
A Qi pushed Xu Feng away and made a funny face, suddenly leaping out of the stone cave with incredible speed and agility, showing no signs of being poisoned at all.
Once again, he had been fooled by this Birdman...
Seeing A Qi's antics, it seemed that the pill had a good effect. A Qi must have approved of it; otherwise, he wouldn't be so happy.
In less than ten minutes, A Qi flew back into the cave, his feathers slightly ruffled and showing signs of a struggle. He had a bloody monster core clutched in his beak.
Xu Feng saw this scene and understood immediately. A Qi was clearly very satisfied with the effects of the pill and had gone out to hunt a Fifth-Grade Monster to provide Xu Feng with a monster core.
"Now you know the benefits, huh? You pretentious show-off! You looked down on me taking the pill before, but now you're here trying to curry favor with me?" Seeing A Qi so pleased with the pill, Xu Feng teased him casually.
A Qi flapped his golden wings happily. Xu Feng quickly softened his tone. "Just kidding! Just kidding! I didn’t know you guys from the demon race don’t like jokes. I’ll pay attention next time." He then handed A Qi two more large pills while keeping one for himself.
A Qi smiled broadly as he swallowed both pills in one gulp. Xu Feng had a harder time; the egg-sized pill was too big to swallow whole, so he had to split it in half.
This was a dual-purpose medicine. Xu Feng was willing to invest; each one cost more than his previous Super Concentration Pill. Once ingested, powerful spiritual energy spread throughout his body.
The addition of the monster core made the potency of the pill much stronger. It seemed to retain the wild nature of the beast, forming an unsettled Fire Spiritual Power within Xu Feng that roamed back and forth without calming down for a long time.
Xu Feng was overjoyed; the properties of the monster had altered those of the pill, transforming what was originally an all-purpose Fifth-Level Concentration Pill into a single-attribute Super Spirit Pill.
In other words, this was a batch of Super Fire Spirit Pills!
He hadn’t expected that monster cores would have such benefits. No wonder their prices were so high in the Fairy Market. He wondered if those Yuan Ling Dan formulas also used monster cores to control the properties of their pills.
By chance, Xu Feng had created Yuan Ling Dan. He was so excited that he danced around. With this batch of Yuan Ling Dan, not only would Xu Feng's cultivation speed increase significantly, but A Qi could also simultaneously engage in medicinal cultivation. With one person and one beast helping each other, their progress would surely accelerate greatly.
A Qi ate three Super Fire Spirit Pills at once, looking very satisfied as it flew out of the cave. Xu Feng knew that A Qi was going to find a place to refine the pills; he had never seen A Qi cultivate, and he couldn't fully understand the cultivation of a beast.
This was A Qi's first batch of Yuan Ling Dan. To prevent any accidents, Xu Feng only used Fifth-Grade Monster pills. Now that the medicinal effect was confirmed, if he switched to using Sixth-Rank Demon Pills, the efficacy would definitely be stronger. However, obtaining Sixth-Rank Demon Pills was not easy, and with Xu Feng's current strength, hunting Sixth-Level Monsters was quite difficult. Fortunately, he had a good stock of Fifth-Grade Demon Pills, and even if they ran out, A Qi could always go out to hunt more.
The wound Xu Feng received from the black panther had already healed; in a few days, it would be completely restored without leaving any scars.
Xu Feng began refining pills. Dozens of Fifth-Grade Demon Pills of different attributes were thrown into the Dan Furnace, transforming into hundreds of Yuan Ling Dan. This Super Spirit Pill was more targeted and potent than the Super Concentration Pill; one pill was equivalent to five of the latter.
After finishing the pill refinement, three days had passed, and A Qi returned to the cave after being out for three days. Its eyes sparkled with energy, and the bump on its head had slightly increased in size. A Qi looked invigorated; clearly, Xu Feng's Super Fire Spirit Pills were very effective for it.
As soon as A Qi entered the cave, it saw the freshly refined pills and nearly drooled. Xu Feng smiled wryly, knowing that A Qi's demand for pills was much greater than his own. He quickly grabbed a handful and offered them to A Qi. However, A Qi ignored him and went straight to the stone platform where the pills were placed, eating them without a care for anyone else.
"Thank you," it said after eating just two pills this time.
"Go ahead and eat as much as you want, but remember that I've run out of Fifth-Grade Demon Pills. Let's see what you'll eat in the future," Xu Feng said with frustration. A Qi nodded in agreement to help Xu Feng solve the demon pill issue. This Birdman finally showed some conscience and stopped eating for free.
With this batch of Yuan Ling Dan, Xu Feng began his cultivation at the later stage of the second layer of the Five Element Cultivation Method.
Xu Feng's five Earth-Level Cultivation Methods—Thousand Miles Kill, Earth King Shock, Mu Ling Dao, Weak Water Three Thousand, and Dragon's Fury—were all at level six and could push him toward reaching the Nascent Soul Stage. As long as he cultivated to the third layer, he could break through to the Golden Core Stage.
Currently, Xu Feng's Five Elements Technique was at the later stage of the second layer; his overall realm had reached Foundation Establishment Late Stage, just one step away from Golden Core. This round of cultivation was aimed at breaking through to Golden Core Stage.
In the following days, both man and beast entered a grueling and bloody state of cultivation.
Breaking through to Golden Core required an immense amount of spiritual power; many cultivators spend their entire lives stuck at Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Those who can form a Golden Core are all exceptionally talented individuals who often have their own fortuitous encounters and significant external support. Relying solely on meditation and practice to reach Golden Core Stage is akin to chasing a dream.
Once one forms a Golden Core, their status changes dramatically. In Liuxiang Kingdom, as long as they don't provoke an attack, they can come and go freely without many people causing trouble for them because being at Golden Core Stage is like carrying a bomb—if angered, they might self-destruct in mutual destruction.
Years ago, Lu Dishi was burned to death by A Qi without ever having a chance to self-destruct. The Silver-Haired Cultivator suffered severe injuries and had exhausted so much power that he lost even his ability to self-destruct, allowing Xu Feng to benefit from it.
Among thousands from the Six Major Sects over these decades, only Cai Shujun has recently advanced to Golden Core Stage, highlighting just how difficult it is to achieve this level.
The powerful Yuan Ling Dan was consumed one by one, and Xu Feng's cultivation gradually improved. Every month, he had to perform Alchemy, and the days leading up to each Alchemy session were a nightmare for the Fifth-Grade Monsters in the Beast Wasteland. A Qi and Xu Feng, one human and one beast, slaughtered everywhere, harvesting with abandon. The Fifth-Grade Monsters in the Beast Wasteland fled in terror at the sight of them.
In the end, all the Fifth-Grade Monsters within a fifty-mile radius were wiped out. Fortunately, the Beast Wasteland was vast, and there were many beasts; it wasn't long before new monsters advanced to the fifth grade or wandered into A Qi's territory from elsewhere, becoming the next "Catalyst."
A Qi's strength also grew stronger; the flesh on its head became larger and taller, threatening to burst forth at any moment.
The path of Xian Dao was vast and unfathomable; five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Over these five years, Xu Feng's cultivation advanced significantly, reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment Late Stage. As long as he found a slight opportunity, he could break through his shackles and advance to Golden Core.
A Qi was also on the verge of a breakthrough, its power terrifying. It had grown so strong that it no longer even bothered to look at Fifth-Grade Monsters; for nearly two years, it focused solely on hunting Sixth-Level Monsters. Naturally, Xu Feng's Super Spirit Pill now used Sixth-Rank Demon Pill as its Catalyst.
The potency of the pills had increased another level.
In terms of refining spiritual power, Xu Feng no longer needed A Qi to "forge" it. The two of them directly ventured into the territory of Sixth-Level Monsters, engaging in fierce battles with various Sixth-Level Monsters. To ensure safety, they stayed close together; if one side was overwhelmed, they would immediately come to each other's aid or retreat.
Over five years, Xu Feng experienced countless brutal battles. These monsters were as cunning as humans but far more ferocious and powerful. Years of hunting had accumulated vast combat experience for them while greatly enhancing and refining their own spiritual power.
A Qi's flesh began to ooze blood; Xu Feng did not know what lay inside. However, once it broke free from its cocoon, it would undoubtedly be extraordinary. A Qi had been at Sixth Level for over two hundred years and was a rare beast among beasts—the Vermilion Bird Variant. This flesh could very well signify its advancement to Seventh-Level Monster. Once it broke through to seventh grade, no one in Liuxiang Kingdom would likely be able to contend with it.
A large quantity of medicinal materials emerged from the Blue and White Porcelain and burned in the Four Dragon Alchemy Furnace. This time, alongside the Sixth-Rank Demon Pill being burned, there was another item: It Mountain Spring.
In the medicinal garden of New Moon Sect, a high-level invisible formation covered a certain area. Qiu Wuling and Chu Wushang looked joyfully at a cluster of herbs on the ground while an elderly man with white hair stood respectfully beside them.
"Elder Qiu, these Square Leaf Grasses will mature in two years. If all goes well, we can produce a large quantity of 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' Antidote," Chu Wushang said excitedly. For years they had been pressured by Wuhua Island due to their concern over "One Hundred Years of Solitude."
Qiu Wuling nodded without saying much.
This cluster of Square Leaf Grass was entirely cultivated from a seed planted by Xu Feng. The grass had strong regenerative abilities; once a sprout emerged, its roots expanded and produced several more plants. After seven years of cultivation, this single seed had grown into over twenty plants and continued to expand.
The regeneration of Square Leaf Grass did not require ten years; it could be harvested for transplantation after five years. However, if it was to be used for alchemy, it was best to wait until ten years had passed before harvesting.
"What about Qinglong Mountain?" Qiu Wuling asked as he stroked the leaves of the Square Leaf Grass.
The position of sect leader held by Chu Wushang was passed down to him by Qiu Wuling's father. Qiu Wuling rarely interfered with his management, but sometimes he would inquire about certain matters, and Chu Wushang still dared not act arrogantly.
"I have already arranged for the authority to go to Qinglong Mountain. Soon, we will have a foothold there for the New Moon Sect. As long as the Square Leaf Grass matures and we refine a sufficient amount of Antidote, we can establish our presence at Qinglong Mountain and develop the Spirit Mine there," Chu Wushang said confidently.
"Well, conflicts are inevitable at that time. Let's have the Star River Sword Sect take the lead," Qiu Wuling said, still troubled by Lu Xianhe injuring Jin Liaoyuan. "We should give the Star River Sword Sect a heads-up in advance and send them an Antidote; I’m not worried about Lu Xianhe not taking action."
Chu Wushang broke into a sweat. Most of the time, Qiu Wuling was in seclusion, focused on pursuing Xian Dao. He never expected that in recent years, his temperament had changed significantly, occasionally participating in sect management and using schemes; even Chu Wushang, this old fox, felt outmatched.
Qiu Wuling turned to an elder beside him and said, "Sixth Uncle, thank you for your hard work."
The elder replied calmly, "This type of grass seed is very vibrant; it doesn't require much effort from me; it grows well on its own." Though he said this, everyone knew that such important Square Leaf Grass must have been cared for with considerable effort.
It had been seven years; how had that dual-cultivating disciple progressed? Hua Du had already advanced to the fifth level of Golden Core for five years. Could he defeat Hua Du?
If he couldn't even defeat Hua Du, how could I dare entrust my precious disciple to him...
