Wild Dogs

He had noticed it before; even when Luo Changhe threatened to kill him, he deliberately slapped the palm to the side.

The fact that Luo Changhe didn't even slap Yang Fan on the head shows that he didn't actually have much malice towards Yang Fan.

Thinking about this, Yang Fan became even more convinced that he could use Luo Changhe as a breakthrough point.

Since we're already here, we might as well stay. There's absolutely no way we can escape now.

Let's just stay here obediently for now.

Over the next few days, a large group of maids brought all sorts of medicinal herbs and elixirs to his villa.

After giving him these things, Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't take the pills directly, but patiently checked them one by one.

He was also afraid that these people might tamper with the elixirs.

After a thorough examination, Yang Fan realized that he had been overthinking things.

The medicinal herbs and pills sent by Baihua Palace were all in perfect condition.

Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh; he hadn't expected these people to be so trustworthy.

Zhou Peng nodded as well.

"Master, in the end it's because you've been cursed."

"Doing anything else is pointless; if it affects the master's breakthrough, it would be even worse."

Upon reflection, Yang Fan felt relieved.

Even if these people try to sabotage things, Yang Fan isn't afraid.

After he put Zhou Peng away, he carefully placed the pills into the small cauldron.

Since no one was watching, he could use the small cauldron without restraint.

After these things were put into the small cauldron, the quality of the pills and medicinal herbs improved significantly after a short time.

After consuming all the pills and herbs, Yang Fan could feel his spiritual energy surging once again.

Excellent. With the small cauldron here, breaking through to the Core Formation stage is just around the corner.

And so, for the next six months, Yang Fan stayed in the villa and devoted himself to intensive cultivation.

Each time a pill was delivered, Yang Fan would refine it in a small cauldron.

In this way, he wouldn't be afraid even if these people did something underhanded inside.

Half a year passed quickly, and with the help of numerous pills and medicinal herbs, Yang Fan successfully raised his cultivation level to the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

After the breakthrough, Luo Changhe took the initiative to seek out Yang Fan, expressing great satisfaction with his rapid progress and praising him repeatedly.

For this reason, he was specially given several bottles of elixirs and several maids were assigned to serve him.

Yang Fan didn't care much about these things.

When the news reached Xiao Ling, she was somewhat surprised.

"What, you're saying he raised his cultivation to the late Foundation Establishment stage in just six months?"

"So fast?"

Xiao Ling looked at Luo Changhe with some surprise.

Luo Changhe nodded emphatically.

"Yes, I've seen this kid, and his strength and talent are quite impressive."

"Winning them over might have a surprising effect."

Xiao Ling pondered for a moment, then told Luo Changhe.

"How about this, I'll have him come to the alchemy room from now on."

"Since this person has talent, then we shouldn't squander it."

"I can also give him some pointers on martial arts, but is there anything wrong with your curse seal?"

Luo Changhe nodded.

"Don't worry about that. We both understand witchcraft. The spell I set up is a twelve-layered spell."

"To unravel this, unless one's mastery of witchcraft reaches our level, it is absolutely impossible."

"With this layer of insurance, you can rest assured."

Xiao Ling nodded and waved for Luo Changhe to step back.

Soon, a maid informed Yang Fan that he no longer needed to stay in his villa.

Instead, he went to the inner hall to cultivate with Xiao Ling and the others.

Yang Fan was not pleased; on the contrary, he was worried.

It won't be so easy to cultivate under Xiao Ling's watchful eye anymore.

Xiao Ling was a genuine late-stage Core Formation cultivator, and more importantly, she loathed herself.

If anything happens, it will be troublesome.

Zhou Peng didn't say anything about it.

"Why should you worry, Master? If he wanted to harm you, he would have done it long ago. Why is it like this?"

"It's obvious that the master's previous progress was too rapid, which attracted his attention."

"That's why he wanted to call his master over separately to train him; this is a great thing!"

"Master, don't be discouraged."

Yang Fan nodded.

"I hope so."

He took a deep breath, walked out of the room, and bowed to the maid outside the door.

"Take me there."

"Yes."

The maid glanced at him with a smile, and when no one else was looking, she secretly slipped Yang Fan a crumpled piece of paper.

Yang Fan's heart skipped a beat, but without looking closely, he quickly put the crumpled paper away.

Following behind the maid, Yang Fan arrived at the core area of ​​the inner palace.

He was taken to a secret chamber in the inner palace.

Upon entering the secret room, Yang Fan was taken aback.

In the center of the secret chamber stood a huge alchemy furnace, where Xiao Ling was practicing some kind of cultivation technique.

Xiao Baihua sat to one side, but Luo Changhe was not there.

Yang Fan was somewhat surprised.

Xiao Ling slowly opened her eyes, glanced at Yang Fan, and slightly pursed her lips.

"What, are you looking for your master?"

Yang Fan hurriedly bowed.

"Your Majesty, I dare not be disrespectful in your presence."

Xiao Ling's expression softened considerably, and she pointed in that direction.

"sit."

Yang Fan hurriedly walked in the direction Xiao Ling pointed and placed a futon next to Xiao Baihua.

Xiao Ling was pointing to that spot.

Yang Fan immediately walked over to the prayer mat and sat down cross-legged.

He didn't know why Xiao Ling had summoned him.

As soon as Yang Fan sat down, Xiao Ling pointed at him.

"The reason I called you here is this: you need to break through to the Core Formation stage as soon as possible."

"But with your current foundation, it would be incredibly difficult to break through to the Core Formation stage in two and a half years."

"Therefore, I am going to teach you a secret technique that can improve your cultivation at an extremely fast speed."

"Although it will damage your foundation to some extent, it will allow you to genuinely advance to the Core Formation stage."

Yang Fan grinned. This Xiao Ling really was straightforward.

Knowing full well that using this secret method would damage Yang Fan's foundation, they still did it.

Given the circumstances, Yang Fan had no choice but to obediently nod and bow.

Xiao Ling tossed a small booklet to Yang Fan.

"Take a look, this is the cultivation technique you are to practice."

"If you have any questions after watching, just ask me."

"Yes."

Yang Fan took the booklet and immediately began to look through it.

After reading the contents of the booklet, he couldn't help but gasp.

The techniques described in this booklet are very strange, even somewhat evil.

The general method is for cultivators to forcibly increase their cultivation level in a very short period of time by burning their own essence and blood.

The side effect is equally significant: the inability to move forward again.

Yang Fan felt a headache coming on; he really didn't want to cultivate like this.

But now that he's being forced into this situation, he has no choice.

After looking at it for a while, he could only bite the bullet and point to the booklet, asking about the parts he didn't understand.

Xiao Ling answered each question one by one, and after an hour or two, Yang Fan could no longer find any problems.
