From the demonic cultivators' Storage Pouches, especially the one belonging to the Demonflame Gate Master's daughter, Naruto obtained a wealth of valuable treasures.
There were not only large quantities of Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills, but also some exclusive cultivation techniques and divine powers, such as the Demonflame Gate's Green Sun Demonfire!
This demonfire was so powerful that it could easily break through even large defensive ritual circles!
Although it required special conditions to use, it could still serve as a reference, and he might even use it after reaching the Core Formation Stage.
Thus, Naruto gave this divine power to the Fire Clone to cultivate.
Naruto knew nothing of the woman in red's true identity. Otherwise, he would have wondered why the Demonflame Gate Master's daughter had no Core Formation cultivator protecting her.
After suddenly doubling back and killing dozens of demonic cultivators, Naruto returned to the cave dwelling with Hinata and Karin.
The Five Clones finally returned to their respective sects to report as well.
Their next task was to kill as many enemies as possible on the battlefield and seize their spoils, providing cultivation resources for Naruto and the others.
Naruto also took Hinata and Karin back to the Yellow Maple Valley to report.
After they gave an abridged account of what had happened at Yan Castle, their assignment guarding the Spirit Stone Mine, and their subsequent escape, Sect Master Zhong, who had stayed behind, told them to return and await orders.
Hinata's master, Li Huayuan, and Karin's master had both gone to fight on the front lines. The two women wrote to their respective masters, then waited for their replies and instructions.
Back at the cave dwelling, Naruto prepared to disperse his cultivation for the first time and begin the first revolution of the Three Revolutions
