West of Old Days City lay the Old Days Mountain Range.
Its rolling peaks stretched endlessly, lush with vegetation and home to many wild animals and plants.
After searching for a while, the Mist Lord and Feng Qi, who had decided to enter seclusion, arrived in this forest.
They cleared an open space from the dense woods beside a mountain stream, then built a ring of fences from trees and settled into seclusion amid the tranquil surroundings.
Unlike the Mist Lord, who could remain in seclusion without food or drink, Feng Qi clearly could not do so.
Every three days, he needed to hunt some game in the woods to replenish his nutrition.
As for cultivation, he had no need for it.
After the Demon Dragon transformation was complete, his body had changed, leaving him with extremely low cultivation efficiency.
The only growth path available to him was tempering his body and improving his physical strength.
Greater physical strength could also alleviate the series of side effects brought about by the rapid growth of his Spiritual Power.
During this time, the Mist Lord's strength began to grow rapidly.
During the fierce battle in the canyon, he had absorbed a massive amount of vital energy and blood, even absorbing the blood of Super Domain Creatures.
That essence blood had not yet been completely converted.
During seclusion, the Mist Lord absorbed that essence blood, and his strength advanced at a tremendous pace.
Furthermore, the miracle bloodstone already fused into the Mist Lord's body produced pure vital energy and blood every moment.
The vital energy and blood produced by the bloodstone required no conversion before merging into the Mist Lord's body and becoming part of his power.
Feng Qi had nothing left to say about the Mist Lord's endless lucky encounters and growth.
