Living as a Mortal: Grinding Experience Starting from the Underworld

All the famous shops in Tianxing City have recently encountered a distinguished guest.

This customer had an ordinary appearance and was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, but he was very generous and swept away all the pills in the store that were used to help with Core Formation.

Even pills that enhance cultivation levels were sold in considerable quantities.

As a result, each shop presented their own VIP token.

This person was Zhang Feng. Within a month, he changed his appearance in various ways, mingled in various shops and markets, and bought a large number of pills, three sets of defensive formations, and other cultivation resources.

Back in his cave on the thirty-third floor, Zhang Feng immediately set up the defensive formation he had purchased.

Splash!

Zhang Feng pulled out a series of VIP tokens, including those from Miaoyin Sect, Liulian Hall, Fengle Merchant Alliance, Taozhu Merchant Alliance, and so on.

He spent nearly 50,000 spirit stones, with the largest expenditure being on various pills, followed by formations, then cultivation techniques, puppets, and spirit-feeding pills for raising demonic beasts.

After exchanging these VIP tokens, you can keep them for now and sell them to your monster materials and other materials once you successfully form your core.

Back in his cave, Zhang Feng specially prepared a quiet room for Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong, who were fast asleep, and placed a puppet to guard them.

Zhang Feng returned to his cave dwelling, preparing to switch to cultivating the "Thousand Waves Technique".

First, he dispersed the "Langshui True Essence Technique" that he had mastered to perfection, and then he studied the "Thousand Waves Technique".

One month to master the basics, one month to learn the fundamentals.

After that, Zhang Feng began a long process of grinding for experience points.

Proficiency +1 +1...

One month, two months, three months...

One year, two years, three years...

Finally, in the seventh year, with the help of elixirs and his liver, Zhang Feng successfully cultivated the "Thousand Waves Technique" to perfection.

His cultivation level also rose accordingly, reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Zhang Feng gave himself two days off, during which he checked on Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong inside the cave.

The two star frogs remained asleep, but their auras gradually grew stronger, faintly showing signs of breaking through to the fourth level of demon beasts.

Zhang Feng then calculated Han Tianzun's progress in forming his core.

We should be in the time when Han Tianzun is trying to form his core for the first time, and there are still about forty years left before Han Li successfully forms his core.

Ding!

Zhang Feng was drinking alone in the courtyard when he saw a wisp of wood spirit energy condense in front of him, gradually rising and gathering.

Zhang Feng turned his head and saw a thick, dark blue cloud gathering above the mountain peak on the thirty-ninth floor of the Emperor's palace.

The dark clouds blocked out the sky and even shrouded Zhang Feng's thirty-three-story cave dwelling.

A moment later, the clouds dissipated.

This is the celestial phenomenon that occurred when Han Li failed to form his core for the first time and his cultivation was scattered!

Zhang Feng swallowed the last mouthful of wine and strolled back to his cave.

The sky is overcast, it's going to rain, time to bring in the laundry.

For some reason, Zhang Feng did not feel anxious; instead, he felt increasingly relaxed, as strength brought stability.

His cultivation has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, his body refinement has reached the peak of the second stage, and his soul refinement has also reached the peak of the second stage. He is only one step away from forming his core.

Although he possesses a pseudo-four-elemental spiritual root talent, the perfection of his various spells and skills has brought his main cultivation technique, the water spiritual root talent, to the level of an ordinary three-elemental spiritual root.

In addition, with thorough preparations, the reserves of medicinal pills even exceeded expectations.

Core formation became his next easily attainable goal.

Calming himself down, Zhang Feng swallowed three Dust-Reducing Pills and began his first attempt at Core Formation.

……

Thirty years later, a wisp of mist suddenly appeared above the thirty-three-story mountain peak, and light blue clouds gradually gathered.

A trace of black energy was mixed in.

Amidst the misty haze, gray soul mist also emerged from the clouds.

The originally clear and bright light blue cumulus clouds were tinged with black and gray.

Gradually, it turned into a cloud of mixed three colors, with faint sounds of ghostly howls.

"Such a heavy aura of malevolence! You must have slaughtered quite a few Netherworld Beasts, young friend Zhang!"

In a cave on the thirty-eighth floor, a beautiful red figure looked at the sudden appearance of the Core Formation celestial phenomenon and couldn't help but smile.

They chased him from the Chaotic Star Sea to the Five Dragon Sea, and then from the Five Dragon Sea back to Tianxing City.

Young friend Zhang, you're fast enough!

Wan Qing manipulated the Yin-Yang Pearl with her left hand, next to the Lingyun Boat that Zhang Feng had discarded.

Ghost Mist's plan was discovered by Hoshimiya and thus failed.

However, the matter of using the Yinming Beast Crystal to control the Nascent Soul puppet is still under discussion.

Once you obtain a high-level Yinming Beast Crystal and Yinming Water, you can hand it over to the sect's patriarch.

There is still a chance.

……

Bai Chen leaned out of the window and looked towards the direction of the sacred mountain.

In the past few years, there have been two instances of Core Formation celestial phenomena in succession, and he is somewhat unable to distinguish which one is the fool who bought his cultivation technique.

No matter, after years of seclusion, I will definitely come to Baimen Pavilion to investigate the news after I come out of seclusion.

We can observe more closely then.

Thinking of the remaining Nascent Soul cultivator techniques in his hands, Bai Chen smiled.

……

Inside the thirty-third level of the cave, Zhang Feng frowned, his mind and body immersed in his dantian.

The dantian, filled with Foundation Establishment Elixir, was now boiling violently, like water being boiled.

A small black figure sat atop the spiritual liquid, surrounded by a ring of golden crystals.

The spiritual liquid evaporated and rose, gradually gathering on the golden ring, slowly filling the entire ring until it formed a golden circular surface.

Based on this surface, the spiritual liquid gathers again and crystallizes.

The surface was gradually filled into a sphere.

The sphere enveloped the little black figure and sank into the spiritual liquid.

The golden sphere tumbled and rolled in the boiling spiritual liquid, its surface constantly absorbing spiritual energy.

The gold color slowly faded, turning into a light blue, mixed with black and gray.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Feng opened his eyes in surprise.

A four-colored pill with a light blue base, located in the dantian, quietly emitted light.

The Core Formation was successful, and it was achieved in one go!

Finally, they had a sliver of power to protect themselves.

"Croak!"

A vibration came from the Beast Taming Token, and Zhang Feng knew that his two spirit pets had awakened.

Taking out the Spirit Feeding Pill, Zhang Feng prepared to feed Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong, and also to refine the Beast Taming Token again to strengthen its bond with its master.

The sound of ping-pong balls came from the quiet room. When Zhang Feng went in, he saw two star frogs sticking out their tongues and vying to take care of their puppets.

Seeing that the puppet was about to be twisted in two by the two beasts' tongues, Zhang Feng hurriedly stopped it.

"Croak!" "Croak!"

Upon seeing Zhang Feng appear, Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong immediately put down their puppets, which shrank to half a foot in size, and jumped onto Zhang Feng's shoulders, one on each side.

Zhang Feng sensed that the two spirit pets on his shoulders had broken through to the fourth level, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Feng took out Spirit Feeding Pills mixed with his own blood essence from his storage bag and fed them to his two spirit pets one by one.

Then take out the Beast Taming Tokens and extract the soul threads from both of them to refine them again.

Finally, amidst the croaking of the two spirit pets, Zhang Feng took out a soul bead crafted from a level-three Yinming beast and fed it to them.

After consuming several Soul Beads, the two Horned Star Frogs fell into a deep sleep once again.

Even after a day of relaxation, Zhang Feng dared not slack off again.

It took Zhang Feng a full thirty years to form his core, while Han Li was still ten years away from successfully forming his core.

After that, it will be the struggle between the Myriad Sounds Sect and the Extreme Yin Island.

However, these were none of Zhang Feng's business. He decided to go into seclusion and stabilize his cultivation first, and then work on the techniques attached to the "Myriad Laws Sword Art" and the "Thousand Waves Art".

With his skills, he would be able to fight back no matter what battle he was involved in, even if he were to face Wan Qing again.

Even if he can't win, he can always escape by mastering the Thousand Waves Technique, combining it with water escape techniques and physical strength.
