Mortal: I possess a copy of the Jade Manual of the Sea of ​​Consciousness!

Xiao Zhen then explained the stroke logic of the demonic script to Wang Xuan.

Writing is composed of various lines. Humans have their own understanding of it, and so do demons.

Wang Xuan was very interested in this and listened attentively.

Once all the dishes were served, the group ate while listening to Xiao Zhen's story, feeling like they were starting to learn something new.

After several rounds of drinks...

Wang Xuan had listened to enough and had a general understanding of the demon race's script.

Before leaving, he left behind a few bottles of pills that could improve the cultivation of Qi Refining cultivators, as a gift for Xiao Cui'er.

This little girl also possesses the aptitude of a second spiritual root, and at such a young age, she already has the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining.

Now that I've obtained the Nine Transformations of Swift Wind, it's time to go back and refine it using the Jade Technique.

If he guessed correctly, the leader of the Spirit Beast Mountain team for this Blood Forbidden Trial should be his master, Elder Han.

This would greatly increase his chances of infiltrating the trial.

The Qi Concealing Technique can hide one's own Qi; at worst, he can simply deceive everyone.

As long as he doesn't display Foundation Establishment level spiritual power during the Blood Forbidden Trial, he'll most likely be fine.

Can't you see that even a Core Formation cultivator like Nangong Wan can sneak into the trial?

The Pure Maiden Reincarnation Technique allows one to reincarnate and cultivate again, but one's essence remains at the Core Formation stage.

It is clear that as long as one does not unleash power beyond the Qi Refining stage within that forbidden area, one will not be deliberately targeted.

After bidding farewell to Xiao Zhen and his grandson, Wang Xuan left the capital city where he had stayed for a month or so.

……

We returned to Spirit Beast Mountain.

Wang Xuan returned to his cave and secluded himself for further cultivation.

Unexpectedly, during his Foundation Establishment stage, all he did was cultivate!

Back then, minor breakthroughs in the Qi Refining stage were measured in months, and at the time, it was considered quite ordinary.

But now, it takes a year to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and each time you go into seclusion, it's like a whole cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter!

After more than three years, Wang Xuan finally raised his cultivation to the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage!

Another thousand-year-old herb has matured, fulfilling the promise made to Qi Zhen three years ago.

Having reached the bottleneck of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, Wang Xuan knew that he would not be able to advance in the short term.

It's time for our appointment, so let's go out and wander around.

Preparations for the Seven Sects Blood Forbidden Trial are now underway.

The opening of that place would take about six months, and he asked Elder Han if he could enter.

It was obvious that they were rejected.

In their words, it's like asking why a Foundation Establishment cultivator like you would try to steal an opportunity from a Qi Refining junior.

Furthermore, only Qi Refining cultivators can enter the Blood Forbidden Trial Grounds.

Even if I agree to your request now, can you get in?

Wang Xuan didn't offer much explanation, but simply used the top-tier jade bracelet artifact that was integrated with the Qi Concealing Technique.

Like the Beast Taming Bell, the Qi Concealing Bracelet can control one's own Qi with extreme finesse.

It can withstand the probing of a high-level cultivator's divine sense, but of course, it cannot exceed two major realms.

In other words, if a Nascent Soul Grandmaster has his eye on him, he can see through his true nature at a glance.

However, if it were a Core Formation cultivator, even Elder Han, whose cultivation level was as high as the late Core Formation stage, she wouldn't be able to discern his true strength.

Wang Xuan clearly remembers the astonished look in the other person's eyes.

In these short three years, has my little apprentice had another chance to obtain something?

It's a rare Qi-gathering technique in the entire Tiannan Sect!

Elder Han did not investigate the matter further.

How Wang Xuan obtained this opportunity has nothing to do with him.

Elder Han did not force Wang Xuan to hand over the Qi Concealment Technique.

Everyone has their own opportunities and blessings, and everyone has their own secrets.

Besides, this is his own personally taught disciple. They share the glory; if Wang Xuan's strength improves, he will also have face.

"Hahaha, my fighting style is very open and sweeping, it probably doesn't suit you."

Although I cannot personally guide you, I have no shortage of cultivation pills. Feel free to use these bottles of pills that can improve your cultivation!

"If you can break through to the Core Formation stage soon, I'll have less to deal with those old geezers nagging me."

After muttering a curse to herself, Elder Han looked around warily to prevent anyone from eavesdropping and leaking secrets!

Wang Xuan couldn't help but chuckle whenever he thought of this.

Every cultivator has their own personality, and his master's temperament is probably quite likable even among those of the same level.

Whoosh!

Wang Xuan rode his magical artifact, transforming into an arc as he sped towards the Tianxing Sect's market.

This time, Wang Xuan didn't waste any more time here.

As Wang Xuan handed the thousand-year-old spiritual herb to Qi Zhen, he sensed the growing death aura emanating from the latter and sighed inwardly.

Foundation Establishment cultivators can live for two hundred years, which seems glamorous, but there is no shortage of hardships behind it.

"This is the complete manual of weapon crafting techniques, as well as the Tanjiao Flag. I hereby hand it all over to you, fellow Daoist."

I hope that after I die, my fellow Daoist will take care of my grandson to the best of his ability.

"Given this kid's temperament, if he were to walk the path of immortality as a rogue cultivator, he would most likely be cut in half at the waist in the future."

Qi Zhen transmitted his voice to Wang Xuan.

Although he was somewhat surprised that he couldn't sense Wang Xuan's cultivation level, he was a dying man and didn't need to worry about it.

The more skillful Wang Xuan is and the stronger he is, the better he can guarantee Yunxiao's safety.

Wang Xuan put the complete book of weapon crafting tips and the Tanjiao Flag into his storage bag.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, since I find Brother Yunxiao pleasing to the eye, I will naturally take good care of him."

I came here today specifically for the transaction, and now that it's complete, I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer.

Qi Zhen quickly stood up to see Wang Xuan off, saying, "Of course, it's fine. Fellow Daoist, you can go ahead and attend to your business."

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, left the few remaining pills that could help Qi Refining cultivators with Qi Yunxiao, and then left the Divine Firmament Pavilion.

There are about six months left. It all depends on whether I can advance to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage within these six months!

Although that bottleneck was somewhat of a hindrance to him, it wouldn't take long to break through it if he focused on it.

His dual spiritual roots are quite good, so the bottleneck in the Foundation Establishment stage doesn't bother him much.

……

Six months later.

Finally, on the eve of the forbidden area trial, Wang Xuanka emerged from seclusion.

He advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of eighteen and broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage at the age of twenty-one!

This is two years ahead of Elder Han's goal!

On the sect square.

A group of Qi Refining disciples waited quietly here; today was the day the forbidden area trial would begin.

Could they obtain a spiritual medicine from this, and then get a Foundation Establishment Pill from the sect to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage?

It all comes down to this final jerk!

Wang Xuan disguised himself, after all, he had broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage within a month of starting his training.

His reputation among the outer sect members was quite considerable, and although he wasn't afraid of trouble, he still had to try to avoid it as much as possible.

Unsurprisingly, Wang Xuan also saw a familiar face here: Han Yunzhi.

It seems her brother still hasn't broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. He was injured while on a mission outside the sect and needs the Fiery Sun Flower in the forbidden area to heal him.

Besides Han Yunzhi, Wang Xuan also saw a sinister-looking cultivator who was constantly teasing disciples with lower cultivation levels.

Two small snakes were coiled in his hands, constantly flicking their tongues, their venomous fangs exposed.

This person must be Zhong Wu, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and an attendant of Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect.

Wang Xuan's cultivation level at this time was at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, which was quite average, and not many people paid attention to him.

Whoosh!

A streak of earthy yellow light hurtled towards them at lightning speed, and Elder Han's strong physique came into view.

Looking at the disciples below, Elder Han remained expressionless and casually tossed out some items.

Top-grade magic artifacts, first-tier top-level spirit pets, mid-grade spirit stones, maps for forbidden area trials, and more...

Everything here is so enviable that it could cause a Qi Refining cultivator to fight.

As expected of Ling Beast Mountain, the second-ranked of the seven sects in Yue Kingdom, they are very generous in their offerings.

Elder Han scanned the area with her divine sense and recognized Wang Xuan in disguise, nodding secretly.

If his personal disciple can enter the trial grounds, then his Spirit Beast Mountain will definitely reap a great harvest this time.

A few Qi Refining stage cultivators would be utterly helpless against a Foundation Establishment cultivator who deliberately lowers his cultivation level.

"You all choose your items, and we'll set off after an incense stick has burned!"

"I will obey my master's command!"
