Demon Beast Mountain Range

The Big Yellow once said that Lu Tianchou's Body Refining Cultivation Method and the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Technique complemented each other perfectly.

The two Cultivation Method, when used in combination, can even increase the probability of Core Formation.

What made Qin Fei hesitate was that cultivating the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Technique required nine rounds of dispersing one's internal energy.

He's still unsure whether this is a losing proposition.

Therefore, the Big Yellow's opinion becomes especially important.

The Big Yellow looked thoughtful and said, "I'm more inclined for you to practice this technique."

"The purpose of dispersing your internal energy nine times is to strengthen your body and expand your meridians, which will make your foundation more solid."

"You must understand that Foundation Establishment is only the second stage of cultivation, and one's lifespan is only a little over two hundred years. Since you are concerned with longevity, you cannot only look at the present."

"If you can complete the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Technique, it will not only lay a solid foundation for you, but also increase your chances of Core Formation Elixir by 20%."

"This probability is already very high. How many Foundation Establishment cultivators spend their entire lives hoping to Core Formation, only to fail in their breakthrough in the end? It's all just wishful thinking."

Qin Fei to be deep in thought, then asked, "I know that Core Formation is difficult, but I don't know the specifics. Could you explain it to me?"

The Big Yellow's gaze fell into reminiscence, and he said heavily, "Core Formation is more than just difficult; it's no exaggeration to say it's like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Countless Foundation Establishment cultivators have tried one after another, but very few have actually succeeded."

"Back then, the master tried every means possible, risking his life to fight for resources, and with fortuitous opportunity, he succeeded by sheer chance."

"However, cultivation is inherently defying the heavens, fighting against people and against the heavens, in order to gain a sliver of hope."

"After Core Formation, your lifespan can exceed five hundred years, and you can also nurture your Life-Bound Law Treasure within your body. Only then will you truly have the means to establish yourself in this mortal realm."

Qin Fei had heard some things about Life-Bound Law Treasure.

It is said that the power of that Law Treasure far surpasses that of ordinary Law Artifact.

However, this is too far in the future and doesn't need to be considered for now.

But Core Formation is his next goal.

"It seems that practicing that Body Refining Cultivation Method is imperative, since it's currently the only known method to increase the probability of Core Formation."

Moreover, he absolutely had to get rid of Lu Tianchou.

"Iron Guard, you are to immediately enter the Iron Yue District and investigate Lu Tianchou's whereabouts."

"Big Yellow, you can smell the aura of that Cultivation Method. Go with Iron Guard and help him out in everything."

The Big Yellow nodded gently and followed the Iron Guard out of the cave abode.

After giving his instructions, Qin Fei carefully took out a jade bottle from his Storage Bag.

The bottle contained the soul of the Lu Household patriarch.

Next, he will imbue Jumang with spiritual power.

A beam of white light shot out from the fingertip, and the divine soul in the bottle slowly flew out and landed on Jumang's Puppet Core.

In the following days, the cave abode was sometimes bright and sometimes dark, with flashes of light appearing from time to time.

Half a month later, a strange man walked out of it.

After being imbued with spirit, Jumang looked no different from an ordinary person, appearing exactly like a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

Qin Fei showed a satisfied expression. Although Iron Guard had left, with Jumang present, his strength had not been weakened.

Previously, Iron Guard had already scouted out a suitable location for planting Gu. It was a group of Wind-Howling Rat, whose reproductive ability was extremely terrifying, making it perfect for him to cultivate Blood Amber Spirit Gu.

If the plan succeeds, the spirit gu will continuously nourish him, greatly increasing his cultivation speed and making the possibility of dispersing his cultivation nine times more likely.

Qin Fei had figured it out: although he still had more than two hundred years left to live, nine dissipations of his power might not be enough.

Now that you've decided to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Technique, you should start preparing early.

Therefore, he sent his Iron Guard to investigate Lu Tianchou's whereabouts, while he himself tried to increase his cultivation speed, using both methods simultaneously to maximize efficiency.

With Jumang by his side, the two left the house and flew westwards.

To the west of Repel the North City lies a continuous mountain range.

The mountain range originally had no name, but after the beast tide, most of the Demon Beast disappeared into this forest.

From then on, Rogue Cultivator often referred to this mountain range as the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

In the northeast corner of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, in an area bordering the Barbarian Tribe territory, two disheveled figures were hiding in a cave.

"A Luodan, you've really gotten yourself into trouble today! That Crimson Zheng is one of the king beasts. Why did you have to provoke them?"

Gutulu was extremely dissatisfied. At this moment, his left shoulder was empty, his arm had disappeared, and a ball of crimson flame was burning at the wound, constantly destroying his body.

"Hmph, you didn't say that when you triggered the beast tide, almost Shangyu Market, and were rewarded by the Barbarian God."

A Luodan's condition was also not good; his dark skin was pale.

Because he stole the cub of the Crimson Zheng, the two of them were chased by a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Ferocious Beast, and now they are on the verge of death.

"Then tell me, what do we do now? That Crimson Zheng has an extremely keen sense of smell; in our current state, there's no way we can escape its pursuit."

A Luodan smiled slightly, confidently saying, "Don't rush. This is the territory of the Wind-Howling Rat. Although the Crimson Zheng is a king-level beast, its swarm of rats numbers in the thousands, and it wouldn't dare to venture here easily."

"If we can only delay for a few days and recover some strength, we might be able to escape alive."

Seeing this, Gutulu could only nod helplessly.

Just as the two were making their plans, two more figures landed nearby.

Qin Fei looked around and saw mounds and caves everywhere, seemingly dug by some kind of Demon Beast.

"It seems this is the territory of the Wind-Howling Rat clan that Iron Guard mentioned. We still need to find the Rat King and plant the Spirit Gu."

The reason why the Blood Amber Spirit Gu ranks third on the Northern Plains Strange Gu Rankings is twofold: firstly, it possesses the power of reciprocation, and secondly, it is extremely easy to spread.

Once the spirit gu is planted in the bloodline, if the host reproduces, the spirit gu will lay eggs, which will then enter the host's offspring during childbirth.

The king of the Wind-Howling Rat is the key figure in the colony responsible for production, much like the queen ant.

Once a spirit worm is implanted in its body, over time, the entire clan will be tainted by it.

Thousands upon thousands of acts of reciprocation will be continuously sent to Qin Fei himself; this is his plan.

This was also one of the reasons why he made up his mind to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Golden Core Technique.

Upon seeing Qin Fei and Jumang, A Luodan and his companion were filled with surprise and doubt.

"They are two human cultivators. What are they doing here?"

"I don't know. Let's not complicate things. With the Five Elements Inversion Array in place, he won't be able to find us."

Qin Fei released his Divine Sense, and countless Wind-Howling Rat appeared underground.

Even with his vast experience and knowledge, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Most of the rat demons only had the cultivation level of the Early Qi Refining, and only occasionally could one be seen as a Late Qi Refining.

However, with such a large number of rats, locating the Rat King will not be easy.

Qin Fei didn't want to waste time, so he decided to go all out.

With a thought, Jumang suddenly stepped forward and slapped the ground with one hand.

"The ground began to rumble, and the roots of the surrounding trees grew wildly, burrowing towards the hole dug by the Wind-Howling Rat."

He didn't care about any rat swarm or anything like that. As long as he forced out the Rat King, planted the spirit Gu, and then escaped, his goal would be achieved.

Countless Wind-Howling Rat emerged from the ground, instantly coalescing into a black torrent.

This scene stunned A Luodan; even the seasoned veterans couldn't help but swear.

"Damn, is this guy crazy? Get out of here!"
