Chapter 451: Visiting
After returning to Yunxia Mountain from Liu Changsheng's place, Wang Hong found Sloppy Old Daoist already in the midst of arranging a formation. It would likely take another ten days to two weeks to complete it entirely.
In the newly cultivated spirit fields, under Hu Jian's supervision, a group of miscellaneous cultivators were tending to Mortal Planting Spiritual Herbs and Spirit Grains.
The spirit ore within the mine was continuously producing, and Wang Hong's subordinates were refining it into high-quality materials for refining tools. Once they had accumulated enough, they would be used to craft Spiritual Weapons for the newly recruited Foundation Building disciples.
After organizing some items in his cave mansion, Wang Hong left Yunxia Mountain. His first destination was the Red-Haired Demon Bull's territory, which Liu Changsheng had marked for him.
Transforming into the appearance of a green-skinned Demonic Beast, he set out with Little Peng, both taking on the identity of Demonic Beasts to visit their neighbors.
They had previously killed a Demonic Beast on Yunxia Mountain, and news of it had been suppressed. Internal conflicts and power struggles within the Yao Clan were commonplace and didn't draw much attention. However, if a group of Human Clan members were to kill a Demonic Beast and occupy a Spirit Vein, it would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the Yao Clan, possibly leading to endless retaliation.
Currently, there were many Human Clan members on Yunxia Mountain, but this wasn't surprising. Many Demonic Beasts enslaved humans to work for them. As for exterminating all the Demonic Beasts in the vicinity, Wang Hong believed that with more effort, it was achievable. However, doing so would expose him completely.
They quickly arrived at the Red-Haired Demon Bull's territory.
"Could you please inform them that neighbors from Yunxia Mountain have come to visit?" Wang Hong said to a somewhat silly-looking Demonic Beast with the body of a bull.
"Wait a moment!" The bull-headed Demonic Beast replied in a gruff voice and walked inside.
Soon, a three-zhang-long (approximately nine meters) monster bull came out. Upon seeing Little Peng and Wang Hong, it visibly hesitated. It had encountered Demonic Beasts from Yunxia Mountain before, and these two were clearly not among them.
"Haha! Fellow Daoists, you've come from afar, and I apologize for not welcoming you earlier!" The bull bellowed heartily and approached them with great enthusiasm.
This particular Demonic Beast was accustomed to the conflicts among Yao Clan members and didn't care as long as it didn't affect itself. Moreover, the fact that they had defeated the Three Demonic Beasts and seized the Spirit Vein indicated their strength.
The bull warmly welcomed them, even arranging a feast where two three-tier Red-Haired Demon Bulls also attended. Wang Hong presented his prepared gifts, and after the banquet, they parted on friendly terms.
A Lifebound Magical Treasure, once successfully refined, would stay with its owner for life, nurtured within their dantian, becoming more powerful as time passed. Given its importance, Wang Hong didn't want to rush and hoped to use the best materials to create the most formidable Magic weapon.
At that moment, he suddenly remembered something and swiftly entered his Space.
He did have some top-quality materials in there.
The unidentified Greenish Little Tree in his Space had grown to over a zhang (approximately three meters) in height after these years. It was a slow-growing tree, highly resistant to damage, and covered with natural Runes.
Wang Hong approached the tree, carefully inspecting it for a while before shaking his head in disappointment. This tree was solely of the wood attribute and lacked the fire attribute necessary for the combination he envisioned.
With a sigh, he temporarily abandoned the idea of using this tree to create a Magic weapon. Since he couldn't currently refine a Lifebound Magical Treasure, he decided to set it aside and look for suitable materials in due time.
As for the "Heaven and Earth Sword Technique," he was eager to practice it thoroughly, considering the formidable combat power he had witnessed. He was also envious of the shield-like Sword Qi technique within the art.
After consuming a Green Spirit Peach, he immersed himself in studying this sword technique.
Since reaching the Golden Core stage, the Green Spirit Peach's assistance in raising his cultivation level had diminished significantly, but it was still better than nothing.
In the Golden Core stage, cultivating each tier required accumulating a substantial amount of Spirit Qi through natural absorption, which took a long time. Furthermore, despite having Pill Recipes suitable for the Golden Core stage, he lacked the corresponding Spiritual Herbs.
For a Golden Core Cultivator, it was common to rely mainly on meditation to absorb Spirit Qi, as pill supplements were scarce. Wang Hong's current cultivation involved meditation to absorb Spirit Qi and occasionally consuming third-tier spirit fruits as supplements.
In his Space, he had several varieties of third-tier spirit fruits, including Dragon Scale Fruit, Jade Ginseng Fruit, and Ink Jade Spirit Lotus, which had become his daily snacks.
