Chapter 214 - 214: Gains From Seclusion
Fang Hong's figure flickered, and he arrived in a secret chamber.
He cast several powerful restrictions with a backhand, ensuring everything was foolproof, before beginning to take stock of the gains from his trip to the Small World.
Three Divine Transformation Stage puppets, a mysterious golden block, three white feathers, the pill formula for Breaking Void Pill, and the Thunder Fire Divine Art were the most important gains from this trip.
Aside from these treasures, Fang Hong also plundered many good things after killing Wu Feng and Lu Cheng.
In terms of spiritual treasures, as an experienced Divine Transformation Cultivator, Wu Feng naturally had no shortage of spiritual treasures.
He had two low-tier spiritual treasures: one was a pitch-black umbrella, a defensive spiritual treasure.
The other was a Demonic Blade emitting a chilling demonic qi, its blade long and narrow, with faint wails of resentful souls emanating from it.
Lu Cheng had relatively fewer spiritual treasures, only a golden spear, an offensive spiritual treasure.
It is worth mentioning that although Zhao Wenjun narrowly escaped, his spiritual treasure long sword was also confiscated by Fang Hong.
In total, Fang Hong acquired four low-tier spiritual treasures this time, along with many spiritual artifacts he had no use for.
These things were of little use to him, and these spiritual treasures were not very compatible with him, always feeling a bit awkward to use.
Fang Hong already had a plan in mind: he intended to use all these spiritual treasures to nourish his life bound spiritual treasure.
By leveraging the spirituality contained within them, he hoped his spiritual treasure could upgrade again and become even more powerful.
Besides spiritual treasure resources, Fang Hong also highly valued cultivation technique resources.
Wu Feng and Lu Cheng were both Divine Transformation Stage Cultivators, and also Grand Elders of their respective sects, holding noble statuses, so their collection of cultivation techniques was bound to be extremely rich.
When he had free time, Fang Hong planned to comprehend these cultivation techniques one by one, then integrate all the essential parts into his Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art.
The Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art emphasizes absorbing all laws and encompassing everything, constantly integrating the strengths of various cultivation techniques to make it increasingly perfect.
After inventorying all his resources, Fang Hong no longer hesitated and immediately brought out his life bound spiritual treasure, the soul severing sword.
He performed the Spirit Devouring Secret Art, and as the incantation sounded, countless complex Spirit Devouring Secret Runes appeared on the soul severing sword.
Fang Hong threw all the unused spiritual treasures and spiritual artifacts next to the soul severing sword, allowing it to slowly absorb them on its own.
The soul severing sword also felt the nourishment, its blade trembling slightly, emitting a joyful hum.
After dealing with the spiritual treasures, Fang Hong took out a large pile of thousand-year-old spirit medicine from his storage bag, exhaled his Nascent Soul Fire, and began refining the saint essence pill he had been longing for.
…
Five days later, as a rich Pill fragrance permeated the air, the saint essence pill was finally successfully refined, with a total of ten pills.
According to the pill formula, each cultivator can only take ten saint essence pills in their lifetime; taking more would have no additional effect, so these ten medicinal pills were just enough.
After refining the saint essence pill, Fang Hong did not stop to rest; he made a slight adjustment and then began to refine the Breaking Void Pill.
The difficulty of refining the Breaking Void Pill was higher than that of the saint essence pill, the required spirit medicine was more precious, and the refining process required more precise control.
Ten days later, the Breaking Void Pill was finally released from the furnace; Fang Hong refined a total of five pills.
The pill formula clearly stated that taking one Breaking Void Pill could increase the success rate of advancing to the Void Refining Stage by ten percent, and a maximum of five pills could be taken; taking more would no longer have an effect.
Although Fang Hong had just reached the Divine Transformation Early Stage and still had a long way to go before advancing to the Void Refining Stage, refining the medicinal pills in advance and storing them could make him feel more at ease.
After refining the Breaking Void Pill, Fang Hong stopped alchemy and brought out the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron.
He directly leaped into the cauldron, then took out a saint essence pill and consumed it, beginning to go into seclusion to refine the medicinal pill's potency and fully enhance his cultivation.
Thus, Fang Hong once again returned to his usual monotonous yet fulfilling life of quiet cultivation.
Every day, in addition to refining medicinal pills and improving his cultivation, he would also take time to comprehend the Thunder Fire Divine Art.
At the same time, he was also comprehending the various cultivation techniques obtained from Wu Feng and Lu Cheng, diligently working to perfect his Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art.
… …
Time flowed by, and one year and eight months passed in a hurry.
On this day, a powerful aura suddenly erupted in the secret chamber, the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron trembled violently, and Fang Hong's figure leaped out of the cauldron.
He stood in the middle of the secret chamber, his whole body glowing with a faint golden light, and his aura was much more profound than it was over a year ago, clearly indicating a significant improvement in his cultivation.
After this period of secluded cultivation, Fang Hong had successfully refined the ten saint essence pills and all the Divine Transformation level spirit pills he possessed, his cultivation smoothly advancing to the Divine Transformation Middle Stage peak, just one step away from the Divine Transformation Late Stage.
He estimated that with just two or three more Divine Transformation level spirit pills, absorbing their medicinal power would surely allow him to successfully advance to the Divine Transformation Late Stage.
In terms of physical body strength and Divine Sense, they were still ahead of his cultivation, as before.
Through the continuous tempering of the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron and the nourishment of the Soul Nurturing Pearl, his physical body strength and Divine Sense power had already reached the Divine Transformation Late Stage level, just a hair's breadth away from the Divine Transformation peak.
This gave him a huge advantage among cultivators of the same realm.
Fang Hong subconsciously looked inward at his Nascent Soul space.
Since advancing to the Divine Transformation Stage, his Nascent Soul had already grown into the appearance of a youth, sitting cross-legged on a golden lotus platform, with a solemn expression.
That golden lotus platform had ten lotus leaves, two of which glowed brightly, emitting a dazzling luster.
This indicated that Fang Hong had already Cultivated the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art to the second layer.
Moreover, if one observed closely, they would find that this golden lotus platform was clearer and more lifelike than before.
This was all because, during this period, Fang Hong had successfully integrated Thunder Venerable's Thunder Fire Divine Art into his Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art.
In other words, the Ten Thousand Laws Origin Demon Art he was currently cultivating had truly transformed into a Mahayana-level cultivation technique.
Cultivating according to this cultivation technique, he could completely cultivate all the way to the Mahayana peak realm, with limitless prospects.
All of this was thanks to the Thunder Fire Divine Art, which provided immense reference value for Fang Hong to perfect his cultivation technique.
Besides breakthroughs in cultivation and cultivation techniques, Fang Hong also achieved considerable gains in artifact refining.
He had upgraded all his main spiritual treasures: the Heavenly Thunder Needle, fire cloud gourd, soul severing sword, demon soul banner, and Swift Wind Wings; each spiritual treasure was more powerful than before.
Especially the growth of the Swift Wind Wings, which shocked Fang Hong the most.
