This Time, They Really Ran Into a Tough Nut to Crack

[Obtained: Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline (Divine Grade Sixth Tier), Mystic Sky Divine Cauldron (Divine Grade Fourth Tier), Qi Replenishing Pill * 3, Essence Restoration Pill * 5.]

[Wow Host, you actually got two golds!!!]

[I thought we were close to the pity timer, this definitely wouldn't be it, but I didn't expect the last ten consecutive draws to directly give me two golds.]

[Extremely low probability! Host, you didn't step on dog poop when you went out today, did you.] Xia Wantang: ??? You're the one who stepped on dog poop.

But...

"The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline, is that a bloodline of the Demon Race?"

[That's right Host, and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is also an ancient divine beast. If you fuse it with the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique, your cultivation will reach another level!] "Not bad, not bad. What is this Mystic Sky Divine Cauldron? A cauldron?"

[Yes, the most amazing thing about the Mystic Sky Divine Cauldron is that it can ignore time. Put materials in, and they'll be ready in less than three seconds. It can refine both pills and artifacts, and the quality of the output can be a level higher. It's impossible to fail, it's the dream cauldron for all alchemists and artifact refiners.] No wonder it's called a divine cauldron, it truly has wondrous properties.

The Azure Nether Divine Wind Whip and the Divine Wind Whip Technique are perfect for the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique.

A fox spirit wielding a small whip to hit people, tsk, the thought of it is quite exciting.

The Beginner to Intermediate Spirit Talisman Compendium and Beginner to Intermediate Artifact Refining Compendium are easy to understand, similar in nature to the Beginner to Intermediate Array Compendium I obtained earlier.

The Fire Spirit Root is essential for refining pills and artifacts. With the Mystic Sky Divine Cauldron, I can start refining pills.

The Wind Tiger Demon Core is for the demonic physique to refine and absorb.

"What are the Divine Wind Sail and the Hundred Eyes Demonic Pupils?"

[The Divine Wind Sail is a treasure for traveling, allowing you to cover ten miles in a single step, making you faster than anyone else no matter where you go.]

[As for the Hundred Eyes Demonic Pupils, they are a type of illusionary pupil suitable for demonic physiques. When installed in the eyes, they can directly see the souls of other creatures, trapping them in illusions, and can control enemies up to a major realm higher!]

[For example, if your current cultivation is at the early stage of the Spirit Sovereign Realm, you can control cultivators at the early stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm, at least delaying them for more than a minute!] One minute, though not long, is enough to do many things in a battle or escape a thousand miles away.

"Not bad, not bad, quite practical, a life-saving skill."

"Then, before my identity changes, I'll fuse the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline and the Hundred Eyes Demonic Pupils first."

[Alright.]

Afterward, Xia Wantang found a cave, sat cross-legged, and entered cultivation.

"Hoo, I didn't expect my cultivation to not increase much after absorbing the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline."

[Your cultivation directly increased from the early stage of the Spirit Sovereign Realm to the peak of the Spirit Sovereign Realm, and you call that not much?] "It's not as much as the first time I fused with the Spirit Feather Fox Demon Tribe Bloodline."

[That's the credit of the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique. Besides, reaching the Spirit Sovereign Realm and jumping so many tiers at once is already very good.]

[The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is very strong. You'll know later, Host.] "Speaking of which, what's the attribute of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?"

[The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is quite special. Before the Spirit Immortal Realm, it's single-attribute ice, but after the Spirit Immortal Realm, it becomes all attributes.] "All attributes? Not bad, interesting."

"But the Spirit Immortal Realm... that's a legendary realm in the Questioning Immortals Realm, is it really possible to cultivate to that level?"

[Of course, Host. You possess the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline, and the Ice Pure Jade Body. Your stage is not this Questioning Immortals Realm, but the higher upper plane!]

[However, there's another problem... If you want to ascend to the upper plane, both bodies must simultaneously reach the Spirit Immortal Realm. Otherwise, the other body will be unable to withstand the pressure of ascension and will die.]

[And if you don't ascend, even if the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique has met the conditions for ascension, you won't be able to continue cultivating, and your realm will stagnate.] Xia Wantang: ??? So she has to develop both equally.

"Alright, then I'll switch bodies now and absorb the Fire Spirit Root." I quite like the Saintess's body too, I can't let it hold me back.

But just then, a sudden change occurred.

An old male voice sounded from outside the cave, carrying a sense of pressure that made Xia Wantang's heart sink: "Hahahaha, you evil creature, you've been hiding so deeply. If it weren't for this Gold Devouring Beast of mine, I wouldn't have known there was a Spirit Sovereign Realm demonic beast hidden here!"

As soon as the voice fell, the entire cave where Xia Wantang was hiding was blasted open by spiritual power. She quickly dodged into the air, facing the newcomer directly.

It was an old man with white hair and beard, wearing a dark blue Daoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand.

[This is bad, Host. This is a peak Spirit Emperor Realm expert!]

[Practically at the apex of the pyramid in the Questioning Immortals Realm!] Xia Wantang looked on guard: Didn't I wear the Divine Wind Chain and set up formations? How did this old man still see through my demonic form?

[This is an extremely rare event, Host. Do you see the golden demonic beast in his hand?]

Xia Wantang glanced subtly, seeing a mouse-shaped demonic beast lying in the old man's palm, emitting squeaking sounds.

[That's a Divine Grade First Tier Gold Devouring Beast. Although it doesn't have much combat power, its keen sense of smell can find almost all hidden treasures in the world.]

[It must be because when the host absorbed and refined the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline just now, the bloodline's aura was too strong. As the Gold Devouring Beast is also of the Demon Race, it was detected. Otherwise, even this little fellow might not have been able to detect the flaws on the host.]

[Logically, the Gold Devouring Beast should have been extinct in the Questioning Immortals Realm. I didn't expect there to be one left.]

Yeah, it's a good thing like this, and it's not even in the hands of some of the male protagonists. Otherwise, she could have dealt with it earlier.

After finishing her conversation with the System, Xia Wantang's expression darkened:

"Senior, we are strangers, why did you attack me as soon as we met?"

The old man snorted coldly, his tone dismissive:

"Why should I be polite to a beast like you? Humans and demons are natural enemies. Those who are not of our kind must be punished, no matter how far away."

"Your body, little beast, likely contains more than just a Spirit Sovereign Realm Demonic Core, otherwise, the Gold Devouring Beast wouldn't have reacted so strongly."

Hearing this, Xia Wantang knew that today's situation likely couldn't be resolved peacefully.

She had thought her current cultivation was enough to be safe, but she didn't expect to have kicked a steel plate right after fusing with the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline.

"May I know your esteemed name, Senior."

First, remember the name, then settle the score later.

The old man snorted lightly, his tone arrogant:

"I am She Yunzi, an elder of Wuji Hall in the Hills of Chaotic Stars."

Hills of Chaotic Stars? Wuji Hall?

This time, I've really run into a tough opponent!
