Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

After collecting the demon core from the Sea King Beast's body and stripping away its usable resources, Chen Liang used a wisp of three-colored flame to refine the Sea King Beast's corpse.

Meanwhile, the gold-devouring insects on the other side also had a feast, devouring the remaining monster corpses on this remote island completely.

However, although this remote island has been cleared away, it is unlikely to attract any other level 5 or higher demonic beasts in the short term. Therefore, Chen Liang put away the 400-year-old Rainbow Grass and planted it again in another place to hunt demons.

This time, Chen Liang used a three-hundred-year-old Rainbow Grass to lure two groups of demonic beasts.

They were the Flying Fish Clan, a water-attribute race, and the Sea Urchin Clan, a fire-attribute race, led by two level-five demonic beasts. These two demonic beast clans were mortal enemies, and the special aura of the Rainbow Grass had further agitated them, so they started fighting as soon as they met.

In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses, with the two leading level-five demonic beasts perishing together, and the remaining low-level demonic beasts retreating in scattered numbers.

Chen Liang was stunned by the scene. In the end, he had no choice but to laugh and cry as he collected the corpses of the two level-five demonic beasts, while the Gold-Eating Insects enjoyed a free feast.

In his subsequent demon-hunting adventures, Chen Liang encountered even more bizarre and strange monsters of level five and above. However, for Chen Liang, these were generally just a matter of two moves.

He started with a move of Five-Colored Spiritual Light, and then let the Green Locust Sword and the Dry Sky Spear enter the fray to reap the rewards, causing most of the monsters, which belonged to the five elements, to perish on the spot.

It's likely that Green Locust Sword and Gan Tiange themselves never imagined they would personally kill so many demonic beasts in their lifetime.

However, this was only the beginning. In the days that followed, Chen Liang refined the materials from level 5 and above monsters into flying swords one by one, and used them to form a sword formation. The Green Locust Sword and the Heavenly Halberd were relegated to the second line.

This sword formation was a natal magic weapon conceived by Chen Liang's second avatar.

After sharing his idea, Chen Liang decided to make a set for himself as well.

In addition, Chen Liang would occasionally engage in hand-to-hand combat with some powerful or tough-bodied monsters, which served as a way to temper his physical body.

After this continued for some time, Chen Liang returned to Tianxing City, brought Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin to Biling Island, and moved his herb garden there.

Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin's cultivation levels were already close to the Pseudo-Core Realm, and their seclusion on Biling Island was just the right time for them to form their Cores.

Han Li, on the other hand, has already restored his cultivation and advanced to the Pseudo-Core Realm.

After failing to break through to the Core Formation stage, Han Li discovered that his elixirs were no longer sufficient to support him in rebuilding his cultivation.

So he purchased several sets of advanced formations from Xin Ruyin, and before Chen Liang broke through to the mid-stage of Core Formation, he asked Chen Liang to upgrade all the magic weapons he had to the level of rare treasures.

After Chen Liang broke through to the mid-stage of Core Formation, Han Li, feeling deeply envious, took advanced formations and rare treasures and went out to sea to hunt demons.

He needs a large number of demon cores to refine new pills in order to complete another round or even two rounds of rebuilding his cultivation.

Therefore, Han Li is currently setting up a trap in some unknown area of ​​the open sea, waiting for the monsters to come to him.

With the Rainbow Grass that can accelerate ripening and several sets of advanced formations, Han Li's gains are bound to be substantial.

On the other hand, Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin secluded themselves on Biling Island for several years and successively broke through to the Core Formation stage.

Once their cultivation had stabilized, Chen Liang took them out to hunt demons, allowing them to gain combat experience.

Several more years passed, and Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin returned to Tianxing City.

Unlike Chen Liang, who was focused on cultivation, the women who had lived in Tianxing City for many years were quite attached to life in the city, and they had even developed their own networks of relationships.

Moreover, their return this time was not solely for life in the city; they also carried the mission of purchasing rare and exotic monster materials for Chen Liang.

The sword formation conceived by the second clone was extremely grand, and each flying sword required different main materials. Even if Chen Liang and the second clone hunted demons together, they could not meet such needs, so they needed to spend spirit stones to purchase rare demon beast materials.

Moreover, this gives Chen Liang's current wealth room to be put to use, so Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin are carrying a huge amount of spirit stones and materials that even they themselves are terrified when they go back this time.

In this way, Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin traveled between Tianxing City and Biling Island, bringing Chen Liang more monster resources.

At the same time, they would also take some cultivation resources away from Biling Island to meet their own cultivation needs, as well as those of Xiaomei, Yuanyao, and Yanli.

Chen Liang would occasionally return to Tianxing City for a short stay until Xiao Mei, Yuan Yao, and Yan Li were close to forming their cores. Chen Liang then took them to Biling Island to break through to the core formation stage.

However, Xiao Mei achieved Core Formation when Chen Liang was in his sixties, while Yuan Yao and Yan Li started later, achieving Core Formation when Chen Liang was in his seventies and eighties.

During this period, Chen Liang had already taken Yuan Yao and Yan Li into his household and made them his concubines.

In addition, over the years, some Core Formation cultivators have also had designs on Chen Qiaoqian, Xin Ruyin, Xiaomei, Yuan Yao, and Yanli.

However, Chen Liang had prepared a very complete set of rare treasures or magical artifacts for them, and their supernatural abilities and escape techniques were also quite good, so he was able to get rid of those annoying flies on his own.

Only the nephews and nieces of Nascent Soul cultivators could make them retreat voluntarily.

On the other hand, Chen Qiaoqian, Xin Ruyin, Xiaomei, Yuan Yao and Yanli would occasionally stay on Biling Island for a period of time.

Chen Liang's second clone doesn't spend all his time hunting demons; he occasionally returns to Biling Island to recuperate and go into seclusion.

Therefore, Chen Qiaoqian, Xin Ruyin, and Yuan Yao naturally came to know Chen Liang's second clone, as well as Chen Liang's new spirit pet—the Blood Jade Spider.

Therefore, Chen Liang specifically instructed them that the Blood Jade Spider was of great importance and its existence should not be revealed.

In this way, more than thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, a dark blue light and a golden light arrived near Biling Island. When these two lights stopped in front of the Yuanxing Mist Sea Formation, Yuan Yao and Yan Li's figures appeared from within.

Holding the pass tokens for the Celestial Star Mist Sea Array, they smoothly passed through the Starlight Mist Sea surrounding Biling Island and finally arrived at Biling Island.

After spending some time together in the courtyard cave on Biling Island, Chen Liang learned some news from them.

A month ago, Wang Heng, the leader of the Miaoyin Sect, tragically died while visiting a friend. Moreover, his death was completely silent, and no one knew who had done it.

With the death of Wang Heng, a pillar of the sect at the mid-stage of Core Formation, the Miaoyin Sect, though still supported by Zhou Yuan, an early-stage Core Formation cultivator, was already stretched thin.

In order to bring in outside help, Zhou Yuan approached her friends of decades—Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin.

Not long after Chen Liang and his group settled in Tianxing City, Zhou Yuan met Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin through some business matters.

Later, Chen Liang achieved the Golden Core stage and spread the word that he was a rogue cultivator with five spiritual roots and had offended many enemies in order to achieve the Golden Core stage. His resistance to social interaction was obvious in his words.

However, this did not affect Zhou Yuan's friendship with Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin. In fact, as Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin revealed their identities as alchemy masters and formation masters respectively, Zhou Yuan took the initiative to befriend them.

Later, when Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin were collecting rare materials for Chen Liang, Miaoyin Sect also contributed a great deal of effort in this regard.

That's why Zhou Yuan approached Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin, inviting the two women to become guest elders of the Miaoyin Sect.

For Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin, it was difficult to refuse the invitation from their longtime friend.

Moreover, although the current Miaoyin Sect relies on cultivating beautiful female cultivators or using the connections of married female cultivators to do business, and has a slightly more brothel-like atmosphere, it is not like the brothel style in the original work, where female cultivators under its sect would be sent away as furnaces.

In addition, Zhou Yuan offered a generous gift that neither Chen Liang nor Chen Qiaoqian could refuse, so Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin agreed.

And that precious gift was, of course, the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo.
