"Lone Wolf Gang..."

Hearing the harsh words thrown by Zhang Meng and Zhao Yuan as they fled, Lu Changsheng's expression couldn't help but turn slightly grave.

The outer sect of the Lingxiao Sect had many small gang factions, and the Lone Wolf Gang was one of them. The Lone Wolf Gang's boss, Chen Hai, was said to have already stepped into the Fifth Level of the Core Condensation Realm.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but clench his fists secretly. If the Lone Wolf Gang came looking for trouble, with his current strength, he definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.

So for now, improving his strength was an urgent matter. However, now that Lu Changsheng had cultivated the Heaven Swallowing Creation Art, a heaven-defying technique, raising his strength wasn't necessarily difficult.

Because this Heaven Swallowing Creation Art was now his greatest reliance!

"Strange, why am I suddenly feeling so parched..."

Snapping back to reality, Lu Changsheng suddenly felt thirsty. He immediately took a clay bowl, scooped a bowl of water from the vat, and gulped it down in large mouthfuls.

After drinking half, Lu Changsheng's heart stirred, and he poured the remaining half bowl of water into the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

Unexpectedly, a miraculous thing happened then. The half bowl of clear water inside the Golden Cauldron slowly began to change; the originally clear water gradually turned a vivid green!

"This..."

"What's going on?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes widened, a look of shock and confusion on his face. How had the water poured into the Devouring Heaven Cauldron suddenly changed color? Could the water have gone bad?

"No..."

After observing, Lu Changsheng discovered that this green water actually had a faint, refreshing fragrance, and it seemed to contain abundant energy!

"This is... Spirit Water?"

Lu Changsheng suddenly recalled that, according to rumor, within the inner sect of the Lingxiao Sect, there was a miraculous Spirit Spring. The water from this spring was a vivid green and had the wondrous effect of aiding cultivation.

However, such spring water could only be drunk by the inner disciples of the Lingxiao Sect.

Thinking this, Lu Changsheng curiously held the cauldron and took a small sip.

To his surprise, the water entered his throat like sweet nectar, instantly transforming into a stream of pure energy that surged through his limbs and bones.

Lu Changsheng marveled endlessly; he had never drunk such delicious water before!

This Spirit Spring water was truly too sweet and too tasty, and it also contained pure and abundant energy!

But how had the water poured into the Golden Cauldron suddenly turned into Spirit Spring water?

"Could it be that this Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron can also enhance the quality of things placed inside it?"

Lu Changsheng pondered silently.

After a moment of thought, Lu Changsheng decided to test his conjecture. He immediately took a pill from his bosom.

This pill had a rough, dull surface and was an Inferior Grade Spirit Ascension Pill.

Don't underestimate this Spirit Ascension Pill just because it was an Inferior Grade pill; it had cost Lu Changsheng spirit stones he had saved up over several months to buy. He usually couldn't bear to use it and had always treasured it.

Next, Lu Changsheng placed this Spirit Ascension Pill into the Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

But strangely, the Spirit Ascension Pill showed no change at all.

"Why no change?"

Lu Changsheng was a bit disappointed. Could his guess be wrong?

Still, he patiently waited for a miracle to happen. After waiting for several hours, Lu Changsheng sighed helplessly.

Hum!

But just then, a sudden change occurred within the Golden Cauldron. A burst of golden light erupted violently. Lu Changsheng's gaze fixed on the inside of the Golden Cauldron, and when he saw the pills within, he was stunned speechless with shock.

Inside the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, there were actually two full Spirit Ascension Pills!

Moreover, the surface of these two Spirit Ascension Pills was smooth and round, with faint pill patterns, emitting wisps of an extremely rich medicinal fragrance.

"This is..."

"Peak-grade Spirit Ascension Pills?!"

Lu Changsheng drew in a sharp breath.

The quality of pills could be divided into grades one through nine, and also into Inferior, Low, Medium, High, and Peak grades. Lu Changsheng had placed one Inferior Grade Spirit Ascension Pill into the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron, and unexpectedly, it had now turned into two Peak-grade Spirit Ascension Pills!

This Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron truly could enhance the quality of items placed inside, and it could even increase their quantity!

How miraculous!

Lu Changsheng was ecstatic. He hadn't expected this Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron to have such a wondrous effect!

Next, Lu Changsheng placed five Low-grade Spirit Stones inside.

As expected, the five Low-grade Spirit Stones turned into ten High-grade Spirit Stones!

After a series of experiments, Lu Changsheng quickly figured out the pattern. This Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron indeed had the ability to enhance the quality of items.

Whether it was inferior pills, spirit stones of low rank, or even some low-level weapons, placing them in the cauldron would result in a quality upgrade!

Moreover, there was a certain chance that the quantity of items placed inside would double!

However, the higher the grade of the item placed in the cauldron, the longer the time needed to enhance its quality.

"What a treasure!"

Lu Changsheng held the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron in his palms as if he had found a priceless gem.

This Golden Cauldron was truly a rare treasure of the world, possessing the miraculous ability to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Even the most mundane items would undergo a qualitative change after being enhanced by it.

"Such a treasure absolutely cannot be exposed lightly, or it might invite utter disaster."

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself.

This Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron was indeed an extraordinary object. If anyone learned he possessed such a treasure, it could very well bring about his death.

But where would be the best place to hide this Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron?

As a Labor Disciple, Lu Changsheng didn't even have a Cosmic Bag. However, after some contemplation, he came up with an idea—he decided to hide the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron inside his Dantian!

That way, it would be difficult for others to discover this Devouring Heaven Cauldron.

"Now, I have to find a way to keep improving my strength. Before the Lone Wolf Gang comes looking for trouble, I need to break through to the Core Condensation Realm to have any means of self-protection."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

After some deliberation, he decided to go into seclusion and train for a while at Dragon Fall Ravine.

Dragon Fall Ravine was a rare cultivation treasure land within the Lingxiao Sect.

It was said that a Dragon Vein lay hidden beneath Dragon Fall Ravine, and this Dragon Vein could release Dragon Qi, making the Spiritual Energy Essence there exceptionally dense.

Cultivating there often yielded twice the results with half the effort.

On ordinary days, the Outer Disciples of the Lingxiao Sect would go there to train in seclusion.

However, Dragon Fall Ravine was not a place anyone could enter freely.

The deeper one went into Dragon Fall Ravine, the denser the essence became. Yet Outer Disciples or Labor Disciples could only cultivate in the outermost area, and their training time could not exceed three days.

Additionally, each entry into Dragon Fall Ravine required a payment of ten Spirit Stones.

As a Labor Disciple, Lu Changsheng had never been willing to spend ten Spirit Stones to enter Dragon Fall Ravine for training. But now, to improve his strength, he decided to splurge once and train properly in Dragon Fall Ravine.

"Huff..."

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng let out a deep breath of turbid air, then left Labor Peak and headed in the direction of Dragon Fall Ravine...
