Half a Year Later

After delivering the agreed-upon Deity Transformation Breakthrough Pill to the Cloud Tree Clan, Su Bai's transaction with them regarding ownership of the Cloud Tree Secret Realm was finally complete.

The accounts between both sides were settled in full, with nothing owed either way.

Another day of Lu Jiu's reputation soaring ever higher!

With the karma involving the Cloud Tree Clan resolved, Su Bai's next main task was to fulfill his promise to the Jade Stone Demon clan.

Back then, in exchange for the cultivation Jade Slip of the Jade Stone Demon clan's Jade and Stone Burn Together, he had promised to refine ten Nascent Soul Breakthrough Pills and three Deity Transformation Breakthrough Pills for them.

This trip to the core territory of the Jade Stone Demon clan—the Stone Domain Country—would allow Su Bai to kill two birds with one stone.

On one hand, he would deliver the promised pills and obtain the Jade Stone Demon clan's materials for refining Deity Transformation Breakthrough Pills.

On the other hand, and more importantly, he would seek an opportunity to copy the Jade Stone Demon clan's bloodline.

Only by successfully copying their bloodline could he truly master the secret technique of Jade and Stone Burn Together, which required a specific bloodline to activate.

For this reason, Su Bai did not hurry straight to Jade Stone City.

Instead, he first found a secluded valley rich in Spiritual Energy within the Stone Domain Country, set up an array, and cultivated in seclusion for half a year.

During those six months, rather than cultivating or studying secret techniques, he was patiently waiting—waiting for the immortal technique within his body to refresh.

He needed to ensure that, when he arrived at Jade Stone City, the immortal technique used to copy bloodlines would be available.
