One Demon Beast Per Bite!

Time passed slowly, and all five disciples made rapid progress. Before long, their junior sister Yu Yu also learned that the five disciples had come to the Devil Spring to cultivate.

"Senior brother, I want to cultivate in the Pure Yang Blood Spring too,"

Yu Yu said.

She was close to reaching the peak of the Body Forging Realm Ninth Layer. Once she reached it, she could attempt to break through to the True Qi Realm.

"No," Lin Ye refused.

"Why? If you're short of Demon Beast flesh and blood, I'll go hunt a few second-tier Demon Beasts," Yu Yu said.

"That's not the reason." Lin Ye began to bluff. "What you cultivate is the heaven-grade Supreme Clarity Jade Canon. This cultivation method requires pure energy, but Demon Beast flesh and blood is foreign energy, after all. If you cultivate using the Pure Yang Blood Spring, then when you break through to the True Qi Realm in the future, the Supreme Purity True Qi in your body will be very impure. It will be immensely harmful to your future breakthroughs."

"So that's how it is. Then I won't cultivate in the Pure Yang Blood Spring." Yu Yu hurriedly abandoned the idea. During this time, she had cultivated the Supreme Clarity Jade Canon. Her realm had barely risen, but her strength had multiplied several times over. She cared a great deal about this powerful cultivation method, so naturally she wouldn't dare compromise her future foundation.

"All right, junior sister, go cultivate. Don't come near the Pure Yang Blood Spring."

"All right, senior brother."

His junior sister Yu Yu left.

Lin Ye returned to the sect master's hall and lay back in a chair to rest.

A few hours passed.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host's disciple Dongfang Bai on breaking through to the Body Refining Fourth Layer. Tenfold feedback: the host's cultivation has broken through to the Second Layer of the True Qi Realm."

Boom!!!!

The Heavenly Devil True Qi in Lin Ye's body rapidly transformed. His cultivation advanced to the Second Layer of the True Qi Realm, and his physical qualities improved to a certain extent. Naturally, his strength soared.

Immediately afterward, his fourth disciple Yang Yang also broke through.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host's disciple Yang Yang on breaking through to the Body Refining Fifth Layer. Tenfold feedback: the host's cultivation has improved."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host's disciple Han Bing on breaking through to the Body Refining Fourth Layer and reaching minor mastery of Bronze Body. Tenfold feedback: the host's cultivation has improved, and Bronze Body has reached perfection."

With Bronze Body at perfection, Lin Ye's physical qualities improved somewhat.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host's disciple Dongfang Rou on breaking through to the sixth level of Body Refining. Tenfold feedback: the host's cultivation has improved."

By nightfall, Lin Ye's eldest disciple Ye Chen had also completed his breakthrough, reaching the Body Refining Ninth Layer. This directly caused Lin Ye's cultivation to break through again, reaching the Third Layer of the True Qi Realm.

The next day, the disciples continued cultivating, but the energy had grown a little thinner. Their fourth disciple Yang Yang stopped cultivating and left to hunt Demon Beasts.

For him, hunting and devouring Demon Beasts would also let him cultivate quickly. There was no need to cultivate arduously with the Devil Spring's help.

Soon, two days passed. Han Bing's cultivation broke through again, reaching the Body Refining Fifth Layer. Dongfang Bai also broke through to the Body Refining Fifth Layer, while Dongfang Rou broke through in one go to the Body Refining Seventh Layer.

As for Ye Chen, he was on the verge of breaking through to the Body Forging Realm.

Inside the Devil Spring.

With the last bit of Devil Spring water and a Blood Extreme Body Refining Pill exchanged for points, he swallowed it in one gulp and circulated Pain Dao-Body Forging. A scarlet Qi tinged with traces of grayish black gradually emanated from his body.

Boom!!!

Ye Chen broke through, his cultivation officially entering the Body Forging Realm.

Elsewhere, Lin Ye was sleeping when the Qi in his body erupted. He successfully broke through to the Fourth Layer of the True Qi Realm and also learned that his eldest disciple Ye Chen had broken through to the Body Forging Realm.

There was no Devil Spring water left in the Devil Spring, so the disciples went hunting Demon Beasts again. Each of them had grown stronger quickly, making this hunt much easier.

The Western Mystic Mountain Range.

Ye Chen was chasing an early second-tier Demon Beast—a Blood Wolf. The Blood Wolf was fast, but he was faster.

"Pure Yang Escape Technique!" Ye Chen turned into a streak of bloody light and pursued it. He then jabbed a finger at the Blood Wolf's head, piercing straight through it and killing it in a single blow.

"I've already reached minor mastery in both the Pure Yang Escape Technique and the Pure Yang Finger. The body refining technique I cultivate is also very powerful. My physical body surpasses those of ordinary Body Forging Realm cultivators. With the Pure Yang Escape Technique and Pure Yang Finger as well, perhaps even ordinary Body Forging Realm Third Layer and Fourth Layer martial artists are no match for me. Disciples of major sects are the exception, of course."

Ye Chen took the Blood Wolf's corpse away, planning to return and exchange it for the high-grade mystic-rank martial art, Pure Yang Claw, to strengthen his foundation.

"Not bad. My eldest disciple Ye Chen has raised both Blood Demon Finger and Blood Escape Technique to minor mastery. With tenfold feedback, I've already reached perfection in them. These disciples should all exchange for the White Bone Claw martial art. At their cultivation speed, it won't take them long to break through. When they do, tenfold feedback will allow White Bone Claw to reach perfection too."

"With the Corpse Zombie Body Tempering Technique, Taotie Swallowing Devil Cultivation Method, and Pain Dao-Body Forging, these Body Refining Cultivation Methods stacked together, my physical body has reached an utterly terrifying level. With my current physical strength, I could slap many True Qi Realm martial artists to death."

Lin Ye was very satisfied with his current strength. His cultivation had broken through again, reaching the fifth level of the True Qi Realm.

The Black-Yellow Sect's outer disciples had each improved considerably as well. Most had broken through to the Body Refining First Layer, and the few who hadn't were close. They had also put up quite a few wooden houses and repaired the roads. The entire sect had taken on a fresh look and begun to resemble a major sect.

"Yang Yang's improvement lately has been terrifying. He's already at the Body Refining Seventh Layer."

Lin Ye figured his fourth disciple must have swallowed quite a few Demon Beasts recently. Otherwise, he wouldn't have improved so quickly.

Somewhere in the Western Mystic Mountain Range.

Yang Yang had set his sights on a Demon Rat clan. There were quite a few of them, though they were rather difficult to hide.

"There must be Demon Rats in this hole."

"Demon Rats, Demon Rats, don't run away! Your good human friend Yang Yang is here."

Hearing a human voice, a mid-first-tier Demon Rat trembled all over. It had just crawled out of the demon cave and was trying to escape when it rounded a corner and saw an enormous human face. A large hand reached over immediately afterward. It summoned its Demon Power to flee, but a suction force pulled it straight over.

The Demon Rat was about a meter long. Yang Yang looked at it, opened his mouth, and swallowed it in one bite. He then sat down cross-legged and circulated the Taotie Swallowing Devil Cultivation Method to refine it.

"I nearly broke through to the Body Refining Eighth Layer. The Furnace Body Refining Technique Master passed down to me is terrifying. One Demon Beast per bite, and it doesn't taste bloody. It actually tastes pretty good."

At first, he had planned to roast the Demon Beasts before eating them, but he found that a bit troublesome and tried swallowing one whole instead. It hadn't been as disgusting as he had imagined. On the contrary, it was delicious.

So he swallowed every Demon Beast he saw and no longer turned any in for missions. In any case, swallowing Demon Beasts whole was even more effective than the water in the Devil Spring.

He only needed to catch one more Demon Rat. After swallowing and refining it, he should be able to break through to the Body Refining Eighth Layer. At his current cultivation speed, he could break through to the Body Forging Realm in a few days.
