Knowing that with their current strength they couldn't handle a Saint Immortal–level Stone Person, Ling Tian and the others planned to cultivate for a while and wait until they reached the Great Perfection stage of the Nine Heavens Profound Immortal realm before making their move. Su Ying and Wen Jian had Ling Tian set up a safe place for them to cultivate. As for Fairy Meng Shang, she was restless and took out her frustrations on the Stone People nearby.
Ling Tian didn't begin cultivating right away. Instead, he rode the Fire Dragon Steed around the cave where the Fire Dragon dwelled, making a full circuit and leaving countless Alert Formations in his wake. That way, he would know in advance if anyone approached. To prevent others from discovering the Fire Dragon, he set up several large formations to conceal its aura, greatly reducing the chance that outsiders would find the place.
After finishing, Ling Tian cultivated while asking Po Qiong, "Po Qiong, didn't you say there was a way to raise the Bronze Coffin's grade? How do we do it?"
"Hmph, you're only thinking about that now?" Po Qiong sounded a little displeased, but didn't keep him guessing. "It's simple. Just find some zombies, kill them, then fuse their Bronze Coffins with yours."
"That's it?" Ling Tian was slightly taken aback, but Po Qiong's words reminded him of the time his Bronze Coffin had nearly been assimilated when he fought a zombie. He couldn't help but believe him.
"You thought it would be difficult?" Po Qiong said crossly. He muttered under his breath, "You're not a zombie, so you can't raise the Bronze Coffin's grade the way zombies improve their Natal Dan Artifacts. You'll just have to take them by force."
Ling Tian gave an awkward smile to show
