Ordinary person: What to do with unused treasures? (On Zhuanzhuan)

Chapter 119 Breakthrough of the Great Evolution Technique

The Great Evolution Manual did indeed enter the mortal world once.

Logically speaking, only after mastering the third level of the Great Evolution Technique should one enter the world to temper one's mind, which is the so-called "refining the heart in the mortal world".

In the beginning, in order to forge his natal magic weapon, the Nine Netherworld Hundred Forging Hammer, he had, in a sense, begun his journey into the mortal world ahead of time!

When Qin Fang was refining magical artifacts, he chose to blend in with ordinary people to avoid attracting attention.

After all, he needed to forge iron for many years, which was rather strange among cultivators.

Unexpectedly, those years in the blacksmith shop led him to meet the conditions for entering the world!

The general outline of the Great Evolution Technique only states that one must enter the world to temper one's mind before breaking through to the fourth level! But it doesn't say that it must be done after breaking through to the third level.

Therefore, Qin Fang, who was only at the peak of the second level of the Great Evolution Technique, unexpectedly met the conditions for entering the world ahead of schedule.

And in the darkness, it seemed as if he sensed that something had happened to his old friend.

This is why the strange feeling in Qin Fang's heart was gradually soothed after he returned to this place.

Qin Fang originally thought that the warmth and life of the mortal world were the most comforting thing.

Half a month later.

On a solitary peak, a middle-aged man with a large scar on the corner of his mouth was practicing breathing exercises.

Suddenly!

The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes.

"Which fellow Daoist has arrived? I don't seem to recognize you."

Looking up into the sky, a man dressed in a blue robe was floating steadily high above.

"Lin Dong?"

The visitor asked.

"It is indeed me, fellow Daoist—"

"I was just passing through this place on my way back to my sect. My magical power was somewhat depleted here, so I came down to the peak to recover a bit."

"If this is where your cave dwelling is, I may leave immediately."

Lin Dong found it strange. He didn't know the person in front of him, but he could feel a slight hostility coming from the other person.

They thought they had accidentally wandered into the other party's cave, which is why they showed some hostility.

His internal magical power was currently in disarray, making it the best time to fight. Otherwise, in this desolate wilderness, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to!

"Hehe~"

"It's you, that's all that matters—"

"Sigh~ I never thought I'd be meddling in other people's business and doing the work of eliminating demons and protecting the righteous!"

"Such a strong aura of malevolence and the stench of blood suggest that other cultivators may have recently fallen victim to this horrific attack."

"Fine! I'll send you on your way!"

Qin Fang sighed, and several dazzling spiritual lights instantly appeared around him.

Chant, chant, chant!

In an instant, five ferocious dragons appeared beside Qin Fang.

"How is this possible!"

"escape!"

Even in just a moment, Lin Dong was able to clearly see the cultivation levels of the four spirit dragons.

Without exception, they were all level five demonic beasts! He might be able to hold his own against a single one, but if he were to be attacked by four level five demonic beasts at once, even a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator would probably have no choice but to flee in panic!

Not to mention, one of the most powerful silver dragons had reached the peak of level five and looked like it could break through to level six at any moment.

Why don't they run away? Are they just going to stay put and wait to die?!

Who exactly is this unfamiliar young cultivator?

Was it some old monster suppressing his cultivation? Otherwise, how could he possibly be raising four level-five spirit beasts at once?

Has the fact that I killed the female cultivator from the family two months ago been exposed?

Is this person his elder?!

No—I did it perfectly, even she didn't know!

Could it be... the incident three days ago?

That late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator didn't seem to have any powerful backers, so how did he end up being targeted by this person?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Dong's mind.

But he didn't slow down either. After his five fingers flashed with bloody light, a large cauldron emitting a foul, bloody glow appeared beneath him, with flesh and bones churning inside.

A large portion of his magical power vanished instantly, and he transformed into a streak of bloody light and disappeared.

Although Lin Dong had no intention of staying to fight them, unless he cultivated demonic arts to the point of losing his mind, he did not believe that he was a match for five Core Formation cultivators!

But he didn't panic too much either.

Demonic cultivators are not universally hated in the Chaotic Star Sea. Only those who cultivate evil arts like him become targets for extermination by both the righteous and demonic paths.

However, these kinds of evil cultivators are extremely difficult to kill!

The reason is simple: these cultivators usually possess a method for escaping at an extremely fast speed.

Without these incredibly efficient but highly effective escape techniques, it would be impossible for evil cultivators to be wiped out indefinitely!

Whether it's the righteous or the demonic paths, or the super power of the Star Palace, they all kill these evil cultivators on sight! There's absolutely no room for mercy.

Even the demonic cultivators were more concerned.

This is partly because evil cultivators often enjoy devouring the flesh and blood of demonic cultivators, but also because the magical artifacts wielded by evil cultivators are highly effective against demonic cultivators.

For cultivators, it is an absolute treasure.

"Hmph~"

"With my Myriad Spirit Cauldron here, even if this person is hiding some of their cultivation, as long as they are not a Nascent Soul stage monster—"

"Then there's absolutely nothing they can do to me!"

"However, I can't go home—"

"It's time to find that person! He's the only one with the means to teleport to the outer sea. We can't stay in the Inner Star Sea any longer; I need to go out and hide for a while!"

Lin Dong spoke with arrogance.

However, the next moment! The sky suddenly darkened.

Lin Dong looked up at the sky in utter astonishment.

Then they saw a black giant hammer, thousands of feet in size, inexplicably appear above their heads, only three or five feet away, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression!

Rumble~

A loud bang caused the dark sea below to surge violently.

A few breaths later, the black hammer in the sky disappeared, and the sea returned to its azure color, leaving only ripples forming waves.

Tianxing City.

Zhang Xiaobai, with his white hair, sat on the wooden bed, his gaze complex as he looked at the small table by the window.

On the table, there was a small, black hammer and four or five small bottles of different colors.

In Zhang Xiaobai's wrinkled hands, he tightly gripped a crimson jade slip.

"Little White~"

"Your enemy has now fallen, and you have nothing to worry about now."

"The decision of where you go is yours to make."

"This Nine Nether Hammer was originally intended to be given to you, so there's no need to take it back."

"This is a replica of my natal magic weapon, and it's of little use to me, so I'll leave it to you as a memento."

"Don't try to find out my identity—who in the cultivation world doesn't have a couple of enemies? If you ask recklessly, you might bring disaster upon your entire family!"

"The path of cultivation is inherently difficult, if—"

"Fine! You decide for yourself—"

"Never again."

Uncle Qin's voice still seemed to echo in my ears.

When he woke up this morning, he found several items by his bedside.

Although he is now a cripple, he was once a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator! He was even a genius who almost broke through to Core Formation.

Even though his dantian was destroyed, he was unable to use any magical power.

However, he could still use his divine sense to some extent, although not as much as in his prime, but at least not much different from a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

This is why their family is able to live a relatively comfortable life in Tianxing City.

Zhang Xiaobai also examined the bottles of pills on the table.

It seemed that only two bottles contained pills for the Qi Refining stage, while the remaining bottles contained pills that could only be taken by those in the Foundation Establishment stage, which were things he had longed for back then.

But these pills were not mentioned at all in the jade slip by his mysterious Uncle Qin!

It was as if the pills had absolutely no effect on him.

"Sigh~"

Zhang Xiaobai sighed, walked over and carefully put away the items. If these things were exposed, he, now a cripple, would have no chance of protecting them! On the contrary, they could easily attract a deadly disaster.

After putting his things away, Zhang Xiaobai pushed open the door—

"Ouch~"

The grandson's voice rang out from the doorway.

"That's exactly what I was looking for, Little Tiger! Come with me!"

Zhang Xiaobai bent down, helped his grandson up, and patted the dust off his clothes.

In the forty-seventh floor of the Sacred Mountain in Tianxing City, Qin Fang returned to his residence once again.

"It was an unexpected success."

Qin Fang sighed repeatedly.

Right after he crushed that evil cultivator, he instantly mastered the third level of the Great Evolution Technique, which was only a thin barrier away from being completed!

And the strange feeling in his body also disappeared without a trace.

"Refining the Heart in the Mortal World —"

"Even if I break through to the fourth level of the Great Evolution Technique later, I won't need to go through another journey into the mortal world."

"But it seems that Ping is not of much use to me? At my current level of cultivation of the Great Evolution Technique, I probably won't even be able to reach the peak of the third level before I condense my Nascent Soul."

Qin Fang shook his head.

However, having successfully refined his heart in the mortal world, Qin Fang was now willing to focus more on the Great Evolution Technique.

What if! What if I manage to cultivate it successfully?

"This way of engaging with the world seems to have some other entanglements."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so easily swayed by Zhang Xiaobai's affairs—"

"cause and effect?"

"Or something else? Why did the Great Evolution Divine Lord leave behind this method of entering the mortal world before the fourth level? What cultivation technique did this method draw upon?"

Qin Fang was still somewhat curious.

However, these problems are clearly beyond his ability to solve at present.

one year later.

Qin Fang left Tianxing City again!

However, this time, due to the threat from the Suanni royal family, Qin Fang does not plan to go to the outer sea to hunt monsters and obtain their cores.

Instead, they chose the Inner Star Sea!

The Inner Star Sea was originally the domain of the demon race, but it was defeated by powerful human beings and gradually became the territory of human cultivators.

Therefore, there are also demonic beasts in the Inner Star Sea, and their numbers are quite large.

Compared to the cultivation world of Tiannan, this Inner Star Sea is undoubtedly a sea of ​​demons! In particular, there are countless first-order demonic beasts, which are impossible to kill completely.

High-level demonic beasts—especially those at level five or above that have reached the Core Formation stage—also exist in the inner sea.

Every few hundred or even a thousand years, a great demon would appear in the inner sea, transforming into human form! However, it only successfully transformed...

Afterwards, these powerful demons were either surrounded and killed by numerous Nascent Soul cultivators, or they fled to the outer seas.

Of course, the number of Core Formation demonic beasts at levels five to seven is nowhere near that of the outer sea.

Only when these monsters actively harm people are they occasionally discovered, and only then do the cultivation forces in the Inner Star Sea become aware of them.

In the Inner Sea —

A demon beast without the ability to conceal its aura will never reach the fifth level and will die at the hands of a Qi Refining Foundation Establishment cultivator long ago.

If Qin Fang hadn't had the ability to reveal himself by "shifting his vision," he wouldn't have wasted any time in the Inner Star Sea!

Eight years later, Qin Fang returned to Tianxing City.

It wasn't a huge success, but he managed to gather enough demon cores to meet his needs.

At least it should be enough to support him in raising his cultivation to the mid-stage of Core Formation!

Upon returning to his cave, Qin Fang immediately approached Nangong Wan and handed her dozens of demon cores.

Under Nangong Wan's surprised gaze, Qin Fang expressed his desire to ask her to help him refine pills.

Nangong Wan did not refuse.

If it were someone else, Qin Fang would never have revealed the fact that he had so many demon cores. But back then, in order to go to sea and hunt demon beasts as soon as possible, Qin Fang had taken Nangong Wan with him when he went out to sea.

The other party also knew that he had a special method for tracking demonic beasts.

As for Nangong Wan, in order to have Qin Fang take her to sea to hunt demons and obtain pills in the future, she naturally could not refuse Qin Fang, and agreed with a confident gesture.

However, this time, Nangong Wan alone was not capable of refining the pills—

Her cultivation level has not yet recovered, so she is unable to use the Dan Fire at all. Therefore, she can only invite Qin Fang to come with her!

Qin Fang naturally wouldn't refuse—the pills he refined were originally his own, and Qin Fang was also very curious about Nangong Wan's pill refining, wondering how she managed to guarantee such a high success rate!
