Jiang Liu returned to his courtyard from the Technique Repository, washed up, and began to cultivate. At midnight, he began to Soul Refining Technique and took out the Exotic Beast he had obtained from the secret realm.
As the Soul Technique slowly circulated, the Exotic Beast core in Jiang Liu's hand visibly shrank, while the area within his Divine Sense slowly expanded, and the range of his emanating Divine Sense continuously increased.
After an hour of cultivating the Soul Technique, the Exotic Beast core in his hand finally vanished into Xu Wu, and the detection range of his Divine Sense expanded by more than ten meters compared to before. It seems that this kind of Exotic Beast core is very effective for cultivating spiritual power! It's a pity that it can no longer be found.
Jiang Liu then began meditating and cultivating his inner energy. He reached into his robes and took out the three jade bottles he had obtained in the alchemy room. He picked one up at random, and as soon as he opened the lid, the surrounding energy suddenly surged wildly toward the pill in his hand.
Jiang Liu was startled, but fortunately Jiang Liu had been keeping a Divine Sense eye on things and didn't notice anyone probing him. He then looked at the pill in his hand.
After absorbing the vital energy in the air, the pill in his hand emitted a unique fragrance. Anyone who smelled it could feel that the vital energy in their body was circulating much faster. However, the pill was dark and looked very inconspicuous.
Jiang Liu knew this was a cultivation aid pill, but Jiang Liu was still afraid of any side effects, so he just pinched off a little bit and put it in his mouth. It immediately turned into a stream of energy and rushed directly to his dantian.
Soon, the remaining Primal Qi Liquid in his dantian increased by more than a dozen drops.
Jiang Liu circulated his qi throughout his body and, not feeling any changes, immediately felt relieved. He then put the entire pill into his mouth.
Immediately, Jiang Liu felt a powerful flow of vital energy rushing along his meridians towards his dantian, and soon the Primal Qi Liquid in his dantian kept increasing.
As the amount of Primal Qi Liquid increased, the solidification speed of the Primal Qi Liquid also began to increase. Jiang Liu continued to refine the medicinal power of the pills according to the mental cultivation method he had set.
Jiang Liu stayed in the courtyard for three days straight, cultivating without going out or even eating, focusing all his efforts on refining the medicinal power of the pill.
Mo Yi and Li Qiaoyun both came to look for Jiang Liu, but seeing that Jiang Liu was cultivating with the door tightly closed, they did not go up to disturb him.
On this day, Jiang Liu felt that his Primal Qi Liquid was almost completely solidified, with only a few drops of liquid remaining on the edge of the solid. The area of Divine Sense had expanded by about twice as much as before, and the range of his Divine Sense had exceeded 1,100 meters.
As the Yuan Qi circulated, the pressure emanating from Jiang Liu grew stronger and stronger. The Primal Qi Liquid in his dantian was almost completely solidified. Finally, the Primal Qi Liquid in his dantian completely solidified, and a booming sound rang in Jiang Liu's mind.
His Divine Sense spread out to a range of over 1,300 meters, which is one-third larger than the peak coverage range of a typical Minor Grandmaster's Divine Sense. Jiang Liu's aura could no longer be controlled and spread out of the small courtyard.
Mo Han, Elder Bai Elder He, and the other elders from the Exotic Beast Valley, who were in the hall, all looked up at Jiang Liu's residence. Sensing the aura of a Grandmaster emanating from there, they immediately knew that Jiang Liu had advanced to the level of Minor Grandmaster.
They were all overjoyed, especially Elder Bai, who laughed heartily, "I never expected that Jiang Liu would advance to the Grandmaster Realm so soon! He's only twenty years old! Our Exotic Beast Valley truly has a worthy successor now."
Elder He smiled happily, nodded slightly, and agreed wholeheartedly.
Mo Han was also very happy and relieved, and finally felt a little relieved.
The elders in the hall were also delighted. Now, the Exotic Beast Valley could have one more Grandmaster in at most twenty years, and given Jiang Liu's current age, he might even reach the Peak Grandmaster.
By then, the Exotic Beast Valley will be completely safe. Although Jiang Liu has only been in the Exotic Beast Valley for a short time, everyone is now full of hope for Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu felt that the volume of his dantian was more than twice as large as before, and the area of Divine Sense sea was also more than twice as large as before, with the range of his Divine Sense covering more than 1,300 meters.
Jiang Liu clenched his fists and immediately felt a surge of power. He thought he could kill Minor Grandmaster with a single punch. Jiang Liu circulated his energy to calm himself down, realizing that this was just the arrogance that came with his newfound strength.
Jiang Liu flew out of the small courtyard and headed towards Mo Yi's courtyard. He wanted to spar with Mo Yi and also get used to his increased strength.
Jiang Liu soon arrived at Mo Yi's courtyard, where he saw Mo Yi lying on a recliner, with a maid standing beside him feeding him fruit.
Jiang Liu leaped forward. As soon as Mo Yi saw Jiang Liu, he got up from the recliner and was about to greet him when Jiang Liu was already gathering his energy and preparing to punch out.
Helpless, Mo Yi also focused his mind and energy, and threw a punch at Jiang Liu.
With a loud "boom!", the two fist gusts collided, and the two fist shadows dissipated in the air. Jiang Liu sensed that his strength was probably a bit weaker than that of his senior brother Mo Yi.
Jiang Liu was about to turn around and leave when Mo Yi spoke up.
"Junior Brother Jiang, you can't do this! You think you can run away after hitting your senior brother? Come and take another punch from your senior brother first."
After Mo Yi finished speaking, he threw a full-force punch at Jiang Liu. He wanted Jiang Liu to experience the majesty of his senior brother. Otherwise, how could he run away after just one punch?
Jiang Liu had no choice but to raise his fist to retaliate. The two fists collided, and "Boom!" Jiang Liu staggered back three steps before regaining his footing.
Inside the council hall, people looked at each other, puzzled as to what was going on between Jiang Liu and Mo Yi and why they had started fighting. However, after sensing that the two were simply sparring, they ignored them and continued discussing how to deal with Corpse Valley.
Jiang Liu and Mo Yi exchanged dozens of punches before finally stopping.
Jiang Liu looked at his disheveled appearance, while Mo Yi was perfectly fine except for a little sweat on his forehead. He immediately realized that his martial arts skills were inferior to Mo Yi's, or rather, he was still some distance away from Mo Yi.
Mo Yi looked at Jiang Liu, who was in a disheveled state, and almost laughed. "How about it, Junior Brother Jiang? You just advanced to the Lesser Minor Grandmaster level and you want to come and test your strength with your senior brother? Feeling good now?"
Jiang Liu looked at Mo Yi with a helpless expression, "Senior brother, please stop teasing me. It was I who was ignorant and arrogant."
"Stop talking nonsense. You've made a mess of my yard. What are you going to do about it?" Mo Yi said irritably.
Jiang Liu glanced at the courtyard, which was riddled with holes by the force of the punches, and immediately felt a headache coming on. He looked at Mo Yi sheepishly and said, "Then what do you suggest, Senior Brother?"
"Haha! That's easy. As long as Junior Brother accompanies Senior Brother out for a meal and drinks and comes back, this place should be sorted out." After saying that, Mo Yi directly pulled Jiang Liu and flew towards the Exotic Beast Plaza.
Upon arriving at the Exotic Beast Plaza, the two mounted their respective beasts. Jiang Liu looked at his disheveled appearance and felt the sweat on his body. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Mo Yi's voice in his ear.
"Don't worry, junior brother. When we get there, I'll take you for a bath. We can also change into some new clothes before we go for a drink."
After saying that, Mo Yi took the lead and flew towards Qi City, Jiang Liu had no choice but to follow.
