Stealing the Heavens.

Chapter 197 Refining the Inner Pill
As soon as Zidong's right foot stepped into the territory of the fire ant king, all the ants around him became agitated.

"Get to work." Zidong looked at the ants rushing towards him without moving, but instead instructed the two women.

They have just integrated the righteous energy and need to be proficient in how to use it. Fighting is the best way to do this.

Facing the fire ants, neither woman was able to take advantage and could only rely on their strength to fight back.

The Fox King is good at charm, but the ants don't understand that, so it's useless to them.

The Scorpion King is good at using poison, and the fire ants themselves are poisonous and cannot pose a threat.

However, facing the ants with fire poison, the two women are not completely without advantages.

The Fox King's true form is a snow fox, and the Scorpion King's true form is an ice scorpion, which are basically immune to fire poison.

Although the two women walked very slowly, the fire ants could not get close to them at all. Zidong was very leisurely following behind them.

It was easy to deal with the fire ants with the true qi integrated with the righteous energy, and the fire ants suffered countless casualties along the way.

"Master, we have consumed too much energy and need to recover." After walking for a day, the Scorpion King had to ask for instructions.

"Let's go to the small hill in front and rest." Zidong glanced at the setting sun, and his righteous energy enveloped the two women.

The three of them were like holding up a golden yurt, blocking all the fire ants out.

Zidong led the two girls to the top of a small hill quickly, enveloped themselves in a righteous spirit, and rested peacefully for the night.

"Eat something and continue on our way." Zidong took out a bunch of food and drinks from the space.

"Master, there are too many fire ants. Do you want to call some of your tribesmen?" the Fox King asked while eating.

"Master, the Snow Fox is right!" The Scorpion King quickly agreed. She could hardly bear it any longer.

"Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly!" Zidong said impatiently.

The two women looked at each other and continued eating and drinking, not daring to say anything more.

At the normal pace, Zidong and the other two would be able to reach the valley where the Fire Ant King was in just three days.

But there were so many fire ants that the three of them walked for five days before they reached the valley where the fire ant king was.

This time the fire ants did not charge forward, but gathered around the valley and formed ten giants.

Each fire ant only has the cultivation level of the Tianxuan realm, but the ten giants have the cultivation level of the First-grade Supreme realm.

"Master, what should we do with these ten giants?" The Fox King was a little timid.

She had seen giants made up of fire ants, which were impossible to kill because there were just too many of them.

Even if the giants are broken up, the fire ants will immediately regroup into new giants.

"Master, I can deal with one." The Scorpion King was very brave. After all, she was a second-grade supreme cultivator.

"You two are responsible for cleaning up the scattered fire ants, and I will take care of these ten giants." Zidong ordered.

"Yes, Master!" Upon hearing this, the two women immediately retreated behind Zidong excitedly.

Zidong didn't hesitate. He directly enveloped the ten fire ant giants with his righteous energy, and then punched them all away.

"Get to work." Zidong looked back at the two women and ordered with a smile.

“…” The two women stared at each other in astonishment. Ten first-grade supreme fire ant giants were defeated just like that?
However, the fire ants quickly gathered into giants again and rushed towards Zidong.

"They're so damn tough!" Zidong cursed, and helplessly swung his fist again to disperse the ten fire ant giants.

"Hurry up!" Zidong immediately shouted at the two women. This time the fire ants were gathering a little slowly.

The two women acted quickly and killed many fire ants, which once again slowed down the speed at which the fire ants condensed into giants.

The three of them worked together perfectly and soon prevented the fire ants from condensing into giants.

All the fire ants retreated back into the valley, and under the leadership of the fire ant king, they formed a flame shield. "Cool them down." Zidong sat cross-legged and instructed the two women.

The drop in temperature was easy for the two women, and the valley soon froze over and heavy snow began to fall.

While Zidong was practicing, he used his righteous energy to attack the valley to consume the power of the fire ants.

It lasted until night fell, and the whole valley was shining with golden light, flames shot up into the sky, and there was also ice and snow mixed in.

Seeing that the fire poison shield was in danger, the fire ant king quickly ordered the fire ants to gather into a giant.

However, the strength of the fire ants has declined, and the giant is no match for Zidong.

The two sides continued to fight until the early morning, and the fire ant king had to surrender.

"Hand over your inner elixir and I will spare your life!" Zidong changed his mind and decided not to kill the Fire Ant King.

Because once the Fire Ant King is killed, the endless sea of ​​sand will lose its balance.

The purple energy from the east only allowed him to obtain the inner elixir, and he didn't care about the life or death of the Fire Ant King at all.

As long as the Fire Ant King is still alive, he can condense the inner elixir again.

Zidong took the inner elixir and took the two women to a small hill, ready to refine the inner elixir.

"You two go to the top of the mountain to protect me." Zidong ordered, pointing at the hill.

"Master, shouldn't you go to the top of the mountain?" the Fox King asked curiously.

"Isn't the top of the hill a target?" Zidong waved his hand impatiently, then sat cross-legged at the foot of the hill.

The righteous energy can completely purify the poison of the fire ant king, and the fire in the inner elixir is even more insignificant.

Zidong quickly refined the Fire Ant King's inner elixir and actually advanced directly to the peak of the First-Grade Supreme Realm!

There were originally nine stars in his space. The Fire Ant King's inner elixir not only helped him condense three more stars, but also completely connected the twelve stars to form a small circulation.

"Let's go." Zidong consolidated his cultivation, stood up and greeted the two women on the top of the hill.

"Master, you have broken through to the First-Grade Supreme Realm so quickly?!" the Fox King exclaimed after coming to Zidong.

"Moreover, he is at the peak of the First-Grade Supreme Realm!" the Scorpion King exclaimed even more.

"Isn't it just the first-grade supreme realm? What's the fuss about?" Zidong walked forward with a look of disdain.

"Master, can one inner elixir break through to the peak of the First-Grade Supreme Realm?" The Fox King caught up and asked.

"Master, can you refine our inner elixir?" the Scorpion King asked anxiously.

"As long as you listen to me, this city lord will not refine it!" Zidong said proudly.

After he refined the inner elixir of the Fire Ant King, he also asked Donglai Ziqi why he was not allowed to refine the inner elixir of the Fox King and the Scorpion King.

Donglai Ziqi immediately scolded Zidong. The Fox King can help Zidong resist mental attacks, and the Scorpion King can help Zidong resist poison, so how can they be refined?
Moreover, refining too many inner elixirs would make Zidong's cultivation unstable, so he still had to rely on his own practice.

Zidong took the two women and continued to walk towards the depths of the endless sea of ​​sand according to the guidance of the purple energy from the east.

The two girls were much more obedient along the way. They were worried that Zidong would get a whim one day and refine their inner elixirs.

"Donglai Ziqi, what is it this time?" Zidong asked after leaving the territory of the Fire Ant King.

[This is the Golden Tiger's territory, just defeat him.] Dong Lai Zi Qi said.

"Do you two know whose territory this is?" Zidong asked seriously.

"Master, I don't know." The Scorpion King observed for a while and answered helplessly.

"Master, this should be the territory of the Tiger King." The Fox King said after sensing for a while.
