My cultivation level increases by one year every day!

At the critical moment.

Knowing its chances of survival were slim, the Frost Python decided to make a desperate attempt and swallowed the unripe Frost Essence Fruit.

Fang Yuan clearly wouldn't let it succeed, so he threw the spirit sword, which sliced ​​through the water and went straight for the ice python's eyes.

at the same time.

True essence surged in his palm, gradually weaving into a vast net of profound lightning, which suddenly pounced on the body of the ice python.

Some cultivators might experience a significant reduction in strength when they enter the water, but Fang Yuan was completely unaffected, his true essence blazing like a beam of light, and his lightning blazing brightly.

hiss!

The severely injured Frost Python was unable to break free from the lightning net's restraints and could only watch helplessly as it came within a step of the Frost Essence Fruit.

Finally, the spirit sword pierced its pupil, and under Fang Yuan's divine control, the sword light tore apart its brain and nerves.

"A Foundation Establishment level demon is nothing special."

Fang Yuan flicked his fingertips, controlling the spirit sword to fly out, washing away the demon blood on it with his true essence, and then storing it back in his spatial ring.

He looked into his dantian, where he still had 30% of his true essence in his qi spring, and the jade cup floating above the qi spring had not yet been used.

"I wonder to what extent refining this great demon will transform my physical body?"

Fang Yuan was somewhat expectant. He then used his true essence to drag the great demon to the edge of the pool, activated the Demon Refining and Transformation Technique, and prepared to begin refining it.

the other side.

Wu Huai-ren and the others, who were heading towards the Cold Spring Pool, noticed that the fighting had subsided and their expressions changed slightly.

"The battle ended so quickly, it hasn't even been that long!"

Wu Huai-ren was worried that the precious medicine would be stolen, so he was in a semi-airborne state and moved very fast.

"Judging from the momentum just now, the one who made the move is probably a Grandmaster, with a very high level of skill in swordsmanship and martial arts," the old man said.

The sword energy, stretching for hundreds of feet, caused such a commotion that cultivators within a ten-mile radius could sense it.

Not to mention, the group from Fuhu Manor had already set foot in the northeastern region of the Luowu Mountains, giving them even more precise perception.

"Master, doesn't that mean the item is no longer there?" Wu Huai-ren frowned.

"Great True Man" is a title of praise for cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage, describing them as having extremely powerful strength, comparable to elders of the three major clans.

Such a person has already risen to the top of the power structure, wielding authority and holding a high position.

"It's unlikely." Cao Chuang shook his head, his tone resolute. "The Foundation Establishment Grandmasters near the county town are all well-known figures. Even if I haven't met them, I've heard of them."

Cao Chuang was the Grand Elder of Fuhu Manor, a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the ninth level. His status and knowledge were considerable.

"The Fang family does have a sword master at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, but he's been out recently, probably looking for a stronghold of Tingxuelou."

Wu Huai-ren couldn't help but ask, "Could it be a rogue cultivator, and their cultivation level might not even be at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment?"

Cao Chuang nodded, his tone calm and confident, and analyzed, "What you said is all possible."

"If it's a powerful rogue cultivator who happens to appear at this exact moment, without any bias, I can only say it's too much of a coincidence."

Wu Huai-ren nodded secretly. Upon receiving the news, he immediately summoned the experts from the manor to come over.

That's because he knew beforehand that there were traces of precious medicine in the cold pool.

If a powerful outsider knows in advance that a great demon is lurking in that area, they will usually avoid it.

It is human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm.

"You've been at the Foundation Establishment stage for quite some time now. Have you noticed that the further you progress, the greater the obstacles to cultivation become, and the slower it gets?"

Wu Huai-ren nodded.

This is all normal. Cultivation is like climbing a mountain. The higher you go, the fewer people there are. Only a handful of people can stand on the mountaintop, overlooking all the mountains and taking in all the magnificent scenery.

"The Qi spring of the Foundation Establishment Realm is shaped like an inverted funnel, and there is a significant difference in strength between those who are one level apart."

Cao Chuang began to instruct, saying, "For a Grand Master in the late Foundation Establishment stage, the accumulation required to go from the seventh to the eighth level of Foundation Establishment may be greater than that required to go from the first to the fourth level. The difficulty is unimaginable, and the difference in strength will be enormous."

Wu Huai-ren nodded earnestly, looking as if he had been taught something, but his mind had already drifted to the cold pool.

"Judging from the aftershocks of the battle just now, I estimate that the Foundation Establishment Grandmaster either perished in the belly of the great demon or escaped." Cao Chuang could easily see through Wu Huai Ren's thoughts, and said unhurriedly, "Even a Foundation Establishment Ninth Level cultivator couldn't end the battle with a Foundation Establishment Grandmaster so quickly."

"Yes, the battle just now didn't even last a quarter of an hour!" the Foundation Establishment cultivator who was traveling with them chimed in.

Only then did Wu Huai-ren finally relax completely, and he slowed down his pace slightly as he took a step.

Whether the great demon and that mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivator are alive or not is irrelevant.

He only cared whether that precious herb was still there.

the other side.

Beside the Cold Spring Pool, Fang Yuan sat upright on the corpse of the Frost Python, which resembled a small mountain, with pure white true essence emanating from it.

Hundreds and thousands of blood threads appeared in the air, emerging from Fang Yuan's limbs and bones, covering the surface of his meridians and acupoints.

"The essence blood of a great demon is indeed incredibly pure, containing immense energy!"

Fang Yuan slightly raised his eyes, a comfortable smile appearing on his face, as his divine sense guided the Great Demon Blood Tempering Body.

In just a short time, his physical strength has increased by several hundred kilograms again, and it continues to rise.

"It will take at least an hour to completely refine it!"

Fang Yuan's choice to refine the great demon in the Falling Mist Mountains was not very safe, but unfortunately the corpse was too big to fit in his spatial ring.

The main reason is still...

The Han Yuan fruit will be fully ripe in three days, which will be the best time to harvest it.

Roar……

As time passed, Fang Yuan refined more and more of the Frost Python's essence blood, which gathered in his body and vaguely formed a smaller version of the Crimson Frost Python, emitting a ferocious low growl.

This does not mean that the Frost Python still has any lingering resentment; rather, it is the ferocity emanating from the instincts of a great demon.

This is also the biggest problem that many cultivators encounter when refining and processing essence blood.

When the refined essence blood reaches a certain level, it will condense the ferocity of the beast in its previous life.

If you don't find a way to dispel it, it may not seem to have much of a substantial impact on your body at first glance, but over time it will affect your mood and even make you more prone to irritability, rage, and bloodlust.

"We can only take it one step at a time."

Previously, the ferocity emanating from the innate realm demon beast had no effect on Fang Yuan at all; his cultivation was sufficient to suppress it and easily obliterate it.

But now that it is a Foundation Establishment stage demon, we cannot be careless.

Fang Yuan's consciousness sank into the Nine Tribulations Green Lotus, trying to draw out strands of divine sense to dispel the fierce intent of the great demon's blood.

But at this moment, the true essence in the body's acupoints suddenly surged out, flashing with white light, like the mysterious thunder born from the silence of heaven and earth.

Boom... Boom... Bang...

In the blink of an eye, the overwhelming true essence and profound lightning completely obliterated the ferocity of the blood-red ice python, like a giant millstone turning.

An aura of righteous indignation, wielding the power of heaven and earth's punishments, emanated from the earth...

"As expected of the profound lightning from the Heavenly Tribulation, it is indeed incredibly powerful!"

Fang Yuan was slightly amazed. Xuan Lei represented the highest and purest destructive power, which was just right to suppress all evil spirits and malevolent intent.
