Acquired: Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline (Divine Grade Tier 6), Profound Heaven Divine Cauldron (Divine Grade Tier 4), Qi Replenishing Pill x3, Energy Recovery Pill x5.
Gosh, Host, we actually rolled double gold!
I honestly thought we were almost at the hard pity, and that this draw was destined to be a dud. Never expected the final ten-pull to hit double gold right off the bat.
An ultra-low probability! Host, you surely didn't step in dog shit when you went out today, did you?
Xia Wantang: ??? You're the one who stepped in dog shit.
However...
"The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox bloodline is a demon race bloodline?"
That's right, Host! And the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is also an ancient divine beast. If you fuse it with your Supreme Yin Demonic Physique, your cultivation will reach even greater heights!
"Not bad, not bad. So what on earth is the Mystic Sky Divine Cauldron? A pill furnace?"
Yes! The most magical thing about the Mystic Sky Divine Cauldron is that it completely ignores time. You just toss materials inside, and within three seconds, finished products come out. It works for both pill refining and artifact crafting, and whatever comes out gains an extra tier of quality. Failure is literally impossible. It's the dream cauldron of every alchemist and artifact refiner.
No wonder they called it a divine cauldons; it truly possessed wondrous properties.
The Azure Nether Divine Wind Whip and the Divine Wind Whip Technique would be perfect for the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique.
A vixen whipping people with a little leather whip—heh, just imagining it felt pretty exciting.
The Beginner to Intermediate Spirit Talisman Compendium and the Beginner to Intermediate Artifact Refining Compendium were easy to understand, sharing a similar nature to the Beginner to Intermediate Array Compendium she had drawn earlier.
The Fire Spirit Root was an absolute necessity for alchemy and artifact refining. With the Mystic Sky Divine Cauldron on hand, she could finally brew pills.
The Wind Tiger Demon Core was for the demonic body to refine and absorb.
"What are the Divine Wind Sail and the Hundred Eyes Demonic Pupils?"
The Divine Wind Sail is an artifact supreme for traveling, allowing you to cover ten miles in a single step. No matter where you go, you'll always be a step ahead.
As for the Hundred Eyes Demonic Pupils, they are illusionary eyes suited for a demonic physique. Fitted into your eyes, they let you gaze directly into the souls of other living beings and plunge them into an illusion. At most, they can control enemies one major realm above you!
For instance, since your cultivation is currently at the early-stage Spirit Sovereign Realm, you can control a cultivator at the early-stage Spirit Emperor Realm, buying yourself at least over a minute to stall them!
A minute might not seem long, but in combat, it was more than enough to accomplish plenty of things or flee thousands of miles away.
"Not bad, not bad. Quite practical indeed. Count it as a life-saving skill."
"Then while I haven't switched bodies yet, let me fuse the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox bloodline and the Hundred Eyes Demonic Pupils first."
You got it.
Following that, Xia Wantang found a cave, sat cross-legged, and entered a state of cultivation.
"Phew, I didn't expect absorbing the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox bloodline not to raise my cultivation by much after all."
The Host's cultivation jumped directly from the early-stage Spirit Sovereign Realm to the Spirit Emperor Realm Peak, and you call that not raising it by much?
"It didn't increase as much as the first time I fused the Spirit Feather Fox Demon Tribe Bloodline."
That was thanks to the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique! Besides, once you reach the Spirit Sovereign Realm, jumping this many tiers in one go is already fantastic.
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is extremely powerful; the Host will find out in due time.
"Come to think of it, what attribute is the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?"
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is rather special. Before the Spirit Immortal Realm, it possesses a single ice attribute, but past the Spirit Immortal Realm, it becomes all-attributes.
"All-attributes? Not bad, interesting."
"Still, the Spirit Immortal Realm... that's a legendary realm in the Questioning Immortals Realm. Is it really possible to cultivate up to it?"
Of course it is, Host! You harbor the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox bloodline, and the Ice Pure Jade Body. Your stage isn't this Questioning Immortals Realm, but a higher-tier upper plane!
However, there's another problem... If you want to ascend to the upper plane, both bodies must reach the Spirit Immortal Realm simultaneously. Otherwise, the other body will perish from the pressure of ascension because it cannot withstand it.
And if you don't ascend, even if the Supreme Yin Demonic Physique has reached the conditions for ascension, you won't be able to continue cultivating, and your realm will remain stagnant.
Xia Wantang: ??? So she had to develop both evenly, then.
"Fine, then I'll switch bodies right now and absorb the Fire Spirit Root."
She quite liked this Saintess body as well; she couldn't let it drag her down.
Yet right at that moment, an abrupt change occurred.
An old man's hoarse voice echoed from outside the cave, carrying a palpable pressure that caused Xia Wantang's heart to sink:
"Hahahaha, you little abomination hid yourself so deeply! If not for this Gold Devouring Beast of mine, I wouldn't have known a Spirit Emperor Realm demonic beast was hiding right here!"
The moment his voice faded, the cave where Xia Wantang was hiding was blown completely apart by spiritual energy. She hurriedly leaped up into the air to dodge, gazing straight at the newcomer.
This was an elderly man with white hair and beard, dressed in a dark cyan Daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk in his hand.
Oh no, Host! This is an almighty expert at the Spirit Emperor Realm Perfection!
Virtually the pinnacle existence of the pyramid in the Questioning Immortals Realm!
Xia Wantang wore a guarded expression: Didn't I wear the Divine Wind Chain and set up an array? How did this old man still manage to see through my demonic form?
This is an ultra-low probability event. Host, did you see that golden demonic beast in his hand?
Xia Wantang cast a covert glance and spotted a mouse-shaped demonic beast pressed against the old man's palm, letting out squeaking squeak, squeak, squeak cries.
That's a divine grade first-tier Gold Devouring Beast. Although it lacks combat power, its keen sense of smell can sniff out almost all hidden treasures in the world.
It must be because when the Host was absorbing and refining the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox bloodline just now, the bloodline aura was too strong, and the Gold Devouring Beast sensed it since they both belong to the demon race. Otherwise, even this little fellow might not have detected the flaw in the Host.
Logically speaking, the Gold Devouring Beast should have been extinct in the Questioning Immortals Realm by now; she never expected one to still remain.
Indeed. Such a good thing didn't end up in the hands of any ensemble-cast male leads, otherwise she could have prepared for it much earlier.
After finishing her dialogue with the system, Xia Wantang's expression sank:
"Esteemed Senior, you and I are complete strangers. Why resort to a direct attack the moment you arrive?"
The old man let out a cold huff, his tone brimming with disdain:
"What courtesy is there to speak of with a wicked beast like you? Humans and demons are enemies by nature. Non-self's race must be purged no matter how distant!"
"On you, this little wicked beast, the stakes likely go far beyond a mere Spirit Emperor Realm demon core. Otherwise, the Gold Devouring Beast wouldn't have reacted so intensely."
Hearing this, Xia Wantang knew that things probably wouldn't end amicably today.
She had originally thought her current cultivation was already safe enough, but she never expected that right after fusing the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox bloodline, she would kick a hard steel plate.
"I have yet to ask for Senior's esteemed name."
She would memorize the name first so she could settle accounts later.
The old man gave a slight huff, his tone arrogant:
"This seat is She Yunzi, an elder of the Wuji Hall in the Hills of Chaotic Stars."
The Hills of Chaotic Stars? Wuji Hall?
This time she really ran into a tough nut to crack!
