Wild Dogs

"I was wondering what kind of cultivation technique I should practice, but now a suitable one has been delivered to my door."

Yang Fan was overjoyed. He held the Yellow Spring Ascension Scripture in his hand and immediately sat down cross-legged to begin cultivating according to its instructions.

After cultivating for several hours straight, Yang Fan excitedly opened his eyes. As expected of the Yellow Spring Ascension Scripture, his cultivation speed was even faster than before.

You should know that his cultivation speed was already extraordinary thanks to the small cauldron before, but he didn't expect that with this cultivation technique, his cultivation speed would be even faster.

"It seems that if I can take more pills, advancing to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage within six months is quite possible."

Thinking of this, Yang Fan did not bury himself in cultivation, but hurriedly returned to his alchemy room and immediately began to refine pills.

And so, in the time that followed, Yang Fan lived a secluded life, never leaving the cave, and devoted himself to intensive cultivation.

Because of the formation outside, things have been calm for a while.

Although cultivators would occasionally fly past outside the cave, the array concealed them, and because he acted discreetly and cautiously, no one noticed that a cultivator was hiding there.

Several months passed quickly like this.

Yang Fan's cultivation level has improved again compared to before.

However, it is clear that there is still a long way to go before breaking through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

This made Yang Fan somewhat worried.

He stopped cultivating and asked Zhou Peng with a worried expression.

"Why haven't I broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage after cultivating for so long?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Peng quickly offered words of comfort.

"Master, you have only been cultivating for a little over two months since you went into seclusion."

"Under normal circumstances, most cultivators need several years to advance to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

"Master's current cultivation speed far surpasses that of ordinary people."

"But I still want to cultivate faster."

Yang Fan shook his head in dissatisfaction.

He is now being secretly targeted and hunted down by Xue Ming.

Only by improving one's own strength as soon as possible can one have sufficient ability to protect oneself.

If his strength doesn't improve, he won't even be able to cultivate and sleep peacefully.

Seeing Yang Fan's anxiety, Zhou Peng lowered his voice and said.

"Master, if you really want to improve your strength quickly, the fastest way is to find all kinds of rare and precious materials to assist your cultivation."

"However, rare and precious natural materials are already rare and hard to come by, and their selling price is extremely high."

"It certainly won't be easy for the master to acquire such a treasure."

After hearing these words, Yang Fan slowly nodded.

He then sighed softly, paced back and forth, and frowned deeply.

"Isn't there any other way besides using rare and precious materials?"

Upon hearing the question, Zhou Peng gently shook his head.

"Rare and precious materials are almost the only way to quickly improve one's cultivation level."

"Besides this, I really can't think of any other shortcut."

"However, the master himself is proficient in alchemy."

"Perhaps we can try to collect some spirit beast cores."

"With the inner core of a spirit beast in hand, you will be able to refine pills suitable for improving your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan's heart stirred.

Perhaps I should indeed go and find some spirit beast cores to refine advanced pills.

After a moment's thought, Yang Fan nodded solemnly.

"Okay, you do have a point."

"Then I'll venture deeper into the Cangyun Mountains."

As Yang Fan spoke, he couldn't help but rub his hands together, eager to get started.

Since my cultivation progress is slow right now, I might as well take this opportunity to go deeper into the heart of the mountains.

While searching for rare and precious natural treasures, they also hunted spirit beasts to obtain their inner cores.

With that in mind, Yang Fan no longer hesitated and immediately set off.

He carefully left the cave and hurried deeper into the mountains.

In order to avoid attracting attention, Yang Fan acted with extreme caution throughout the journey.

He dared not fly on his sword to travel through the air, and could only rely on his boots to run swiftly through the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, these boots were extremely fast, allowing Yang Fan to easily avoid dangerous areas along the way, and his journey was safe and unimpeded.

It must be said that there are quite a few spiritual herbs and plants deep in the Cangyun Mountains.

As Yang Fan continued his journey, he discovered many rare medicinal herbs.

Having seen these medicinal herbs, Yang Fan naturally didn't let them go and put them all into the small cauldron.

With the improvement of the small cauldron, the pills refined in the future will definitely have more outstanding effects.

Yang Fan continued forward, and a few days later he had reached the deepest part of the Cangyun Mountains.

Here, the number of spirit beasts has increased significantly.

Yang Fan then began to prepare for his hunt, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

Yang Fan naturally dared not provoke those powerful spirit beasts, so his targets were all small spirit beasts of level one or two, whose strength was only equivalent to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

With the help of numerous talismans and his even stronger physique, Yang Fan killed these spirit beasts one by one.

In just over ten days, Yang Fan had already accumulated dozens of spirit beast inner cores.

Now that he had enough spirit beast cores, Yang Fan found a cave nearby, sat down cross-legged inside, and began refining pills.

Because it was just a temporary medicine-making exercise, Yang Fan was in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to pack up.

"What kind of elixir do you wish to refine, Master?"

"With so many spirit beast cores, it would be a waste to only refine them into ordinary pills."

Zhou Peng spoke cautiously from the side.

Yang Fan looked at Zhou Peng with surprise.

"What, you even know the recipe for refining pills using the inner core of spirit beasts?"

Zhou Peng immediately raised his head.

"Yes, I know a recipe for refining pills using the inner core of spirit beasts, and this recipe can maximize the medicinal power of the inner core."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan immediately snapped his fingers.

"Alright, tell me the recipe quickly, and I'll refine it."

"Yes, Master, rest assured, I will tell you the formula right away."

Zhou Peng spoke to Yang Fan with a fawning expression, and soon he began to talk about the pill formulas and the methods of refining them.

Yang Fan then mixed these spirit beast cores with herbs and began refining pills.

It must be said that Zhou Peng's prescription is indeed quite ingenious.

In less than half an hour, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance wafted out from the alchemy furnace.

Smelling the fragrance of the medicine, Yang Fan nodded in satisfaction.

"Your prescription for pills is indeed quite ingenious."

After saying that, Yang Fan picked up one of the pills and carefully swallowed it.

As the pill entered his stomach, an extremely abundant medicinal power immediately filled his limbs and bones, and then surged to all parts of his body.

A moment later, the medicinal power was already circulating continuously in his meridians.

In just a dozen breaths, Yang Fan's cultivation level had increased again.

"Good stuff. Looking at it this way, using spirit beast inner cores to refine medicine is indeed quite good."
