On the path to immortality, I can see destiny.

However, this attack also drained Zhao Fan's remaining spiritual energy, making it more difficult to deal with the two mid-stage first-tier demonic beasts.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhao Fan immediately came up with a good idea.

Using his memories of his wolf mother, he conjured her image using the Gui Water Array.

Sure enough, the two mid-stage Tier 1 demonic beasts were so frightened by the appearance of the wolf mother that they immediately fled in the opposite direction.

Following the exit left by Zhao Fan, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the two demonic beasts escape, Zhao Fan breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he gained a clearer understanding of the wild.

The probability of encountering monsters in Cangyun Mountain is much higher than in the Nanjun region.

He just refined a pill, and it attracted so many monsters.

Fortunately, the wolf mother's aura still lingers here, otherwise the number of monsters that came would probably have at least doubled.

"Next time I refine pills, I need to think of a way. There are just too many demonic beasts. In my condition after refining pills, if it weren't for the formation, I probably wouldn't be able to defeat even a single early-stage first-tier demonic beast."

Zhao Fan held Xiao Er in his arms, stroking Xiao Er's head while muttering to himself.

"Woof woof..."

The childish voice of Xiao Er rang in his ears, as if responding to Zhao Fan.

Zhao Fan carried Xiao Er out of the cave, put the corpses of the four dead early-stage first-tier demonic beasts into his storage bag, and then checked the surrounding area to make sure that there were no problems with the formation before returning to the cave.

Zhao Fan then cut off several pieces of meat from the monsters and placed them in front of the waiter.

He remembered clearly the question he had asked Su San before: that feeding Xiao Er beast meat could promote growth.

According to Su San, the Blood Shadow Wolf's favorite animal is the Iron-Spine Boar, and coincidentally, one of those monsters is an Iron-Spine Boar.

So Zhao Fan also took the opportunity to try it out and see if Xiao Er liked Ironback Pig the most.

Several different pieces of meat were placed in front of the waiter, who smelled them one by one and finally chose the meat from the Ironback Pig.

However, because Xiao Er was too small, its teeth hadn't fully grown in after a month, and it couldn't tear off the large piece of pork that Zhao Fan had cut off even after trying for a long time.

Helpless, Zhao Fan could only cut it into small pieces to feed it.

The little wolf ate with great joy, managing to devour the entire large piece of meat.

After finishing its meal, it even seemed to want more, looking up at Zhao Fan with a pitiful expression.

Seeing the little wolf like this, Zhao Fan wanted to cut some more for it, but he was afraid that the little wolf would eat too much and get an upset stomach, so he hesitated for a moment and decided not to give it any more.

When the wolf cub saw that there was no meat to eat, it obediently huddled in its den and closed its eyes.

Then, Zhao Fan saw wisps of blood-red light appear on the little wolf's body, moving within it as if it were refining the meat it had just eaten.

Seeing this, Zhao Fan couldn't help but sigh, "Demonic beasts are really amazing; they're born with many skills."

After waiting a while and confirming that there were no other problems, Zhao Fan finally felt relieved, found a spot in the cave, swallowed a pill, and began to meditate and cultivate.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

The next day, Zhao Fan woke up early and nodded in satisfaction, feeling the increase in his magical power.

At his current cultivation speed, he will definitely be able to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining within two years.

The little wolf was still asleep, seemingly dreaming, with drool dripping all over the floor.

Seeing that the wolf cub seemed to be alright, Zhao Fan was finally relieved.

It seems that feeding the wolf cub so much meat back then didn't have any effect on it.

Therefore, you can try feeding them more.

The little wolf was quickly awakened by the sound of Zhao Fan getting up, and ran to Zhao Fan, barking.

Zhao Fan knew that it wanted more meat, so he cut off an even larger piece of meat than before, then finely diced it and placed it in front of the waiter.

He picked up a spear and, as usual, began practicing his spear skills.

Time passed day by day, and because of the matter concerning the Han Dynasty, Zhao Fan dared not go out.

They stayed on the mountain for half a year.

For the past six months, Zhao Fan spent his mornings wandering around the mountains, searching for medicinal herbs and materials, his afternoons practicing his spear skills, and his evenings cultivating.

In half a year, although he was still some distance from breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, the spiritual power in his body was much stronger than before.

Especially his marksmanship; after half a year of practice, he has achieved considerable skill, if not mastery.

In the past six months, whenever he had free time, he would help Xiao Er catch an iron-backed pig.

After six months of careful feeding, Xiao Er has grown considerably larger than before, now approaching the size of a normal wild wolf.

It's just that because Zhao Fan is feeding it more and more, it doesn't look like a wolf anymore, but rather like a little pig, round and plump.

However, it must be said that Xiao Er's talent is truly remarkable. In just half a year, he has actually gone from just entering the early stage of the first rank to the peak of the early stage of the first rank.

At this rate, it's likely that in two or three years, Little Wolf's strength will surpass his.

However, Zhao Fan was a little troubled about whether or not to bring Xiao Er along on this trip.

If I take it with me, I can't carry it like before because of its size. I can only let it run behind me. If we encounter danger, it will be difficult to take care of it.

But if I don't bring it, leaving it here might not be safe.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Fan reluctantly decided to leave it here.

Without a spirit beast pouch, it's really troublesome.

"You stay here for now. There are quite a few cultivators who hunt demonic beasts regularly, so be careful not to get caught."

Before leaving, Zhao Fan gave the waiter some special instructions.

Over the past six months, Xiao Er has come to understand what Zhao Fan means. Although it is a little unhappy that Zhao Fan doesn't take it with him when he goes out, it still listens to Zhao Fan's instructions.

After giving all these instructions, Zhao Fan finally went out.

After leaving the cave, Zhao Fan's first choice was to return to his previous cave dwelling for a look.

However, before going, he carefully concealed his figure using the Netherworld Mirror.

I haven't been back for half a year, and nothing around me has changed.

However, new cultivators now reside in the cave.

Zhao Fan glanced at it and found that it was a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

However, the cultivator did not set up any magic arrays around him, nor did he disturb the spiritual herb fields he had previously cultivated.

Even his master's grave remained completely untouched.

However, the cultivator was wearing a pure white Taoist robe, which looked very familiar to Zhao Fan.

This Taoist robe is exactly the same as the one Su San is wearing.

Upon seeing the Taoist robe, Zhao Fan understood that this person must also be a member of the Su family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fan immediately put away the Netherworld Mirror and revealed his true form.

He looked at the white-robed cultivator not far away and asked softly.

"Are you a member of the Su family, fellow Daoist?"
