A Qi let out a clear cry in the Sky, causing all Fifth-Grade Monsters within a ten-mile radius to retreat.
A Qi circled once before landing on the tree where Xu Feng was. After several months apart, A Qi had not changed significantly; its golden feathers remained bright, and its resolute gaze pierced the heart. However, there was a slight bulge on its head, as if something were about to grow out.
A Qi flapped its large wings against Xu Feng, seemingly affirming Xu Feng's cultivation achievements over the past few months, with joy evident in its eyes.
After playing around for a while, A Qi took Xu Feng and flew away.
It was afternoon after killing Mu Yingshan, with the warm sun shining brightly. Xu Feng sat on A Qi's back, watching the scenery rush by beneath them. This area was familiar to Xu Feng; he had flown over it last time he was out.
Soon they reached the edge of the Fifth-Grade Monster zone. A Qi stopped as before, only taking off again when it was dark.
At this point, Xu Feng was no longer as confused as before; he understood A Qi's intentions. The Beast Wasteland was a hidden place full of powerful beings who might be cultivating in secret. A Qi chose to travel at night to avoid being detected.
After flying for half an hour in the night sky, A Qi brought Xu Feng back to the Cliff where Jin Liaoyuan lived.
The cave's decorations remained unchanged, and Jin Liaoyuan's remains still lay in the stone chamber, surrounded by dust-free surroundings. Xu Feng entered the stone chamber, bowed to Jin Liaoyuan, and said, "Master, I have completed what you entrusted me with. Qiu Wuling did not obtain your Square Leaf Grass back then but managed to survive after undergoing a complete blood transfusion with two Eternal Blood Frogs. Now she is one of the top experts in Liuxiang Kingdom. Additionally, she has been secretly in love with you; you can rest assured that I am not lying—this is true and valid."
Xu Feng felt moved by the love story between Jin Liaoyuan and Qiu Wuling but also regretted that they were now separated by life and death. He could only convey a message of comfort.
Upon hearing Qiu Wuling's name, A Qi turned to look at Xu Feng, possibly because Jin Liaoyuan had mentioned her to A Qi before his death. When A Qi rushed to save Jin Liaoyuan from Beast Wasteland back then, it was ambushed by Six Sects and severely injured. Some Foundation Establishment Stage disciples from Six Sects participated in that battle; those who survived had since advanced to Golden Core stage, like Lu Dishi and Hong Chenzi.
Jin Liaoyuan had most of his bones broken, and his internal organs must have been even more severely injured; Lu Xianhe's strike was merely the last straw that broke him.
Jin Liaoyuan inadvertently got caught up in the political conflict of Six Sects and ended up dying tragically. The Top Ten Bandits also fell apart, and Six Major Sects paid a corresponding price for their actions.
There could have been another version, another ending to this story. Unfortunately, Jin Liaoyuan, in a fit of rage, pushed himself onto an irreversible path. Even if the prominent experts of the Six Sects couldn't kill him, the Grand Elder of the Six Sects would not let him off the hook, especially with Wuhua Island being attacked. Although it wouldn't lead to their annihilation, they would certainly lose face, and the Grand Elder would strike back.
However, Jin Liaoyuan did not wait for the Grand Elder of the Six Sects to act; he died in the Beast Wasteland.
Jin Liaoyuan, a Four Elements Cultivator, had created his own Control Vein Technique. He was indeed a talented individual; if only he had bided his time, who in Liuxiang Kingdom could have been his rival?
Xu Feng exited the stone chamber and sat cross-legged in the cave, beginning a new round of closed-door cultivation. In this lawless modern world, strength represented everything; without power, everything was mere talk.
Cai Shujun had already advanced to the Golden Core stage, and Hua Du should be close as well. For Xu Feng, breaking through was more challenging compared to the two of them. Fortunately, with the Blue and White Porcelain and Control Vein Technique, he had some advantages for advancement.
The Wood Element had returned to balance, and Xu Feng chose to focus on his strong suit, the Fire Element Technique, and began his training.
Dragon's Fury had already entered the upper half of the second layer. After reaching Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage, progressing through each layer became increasingly difficult. Xu Feng had been in a state of being hunted recently; any cultivation he managed was primarily for recovery rather than focused practice on his Cultivation Method. Now that there were no more worries behind him, Xu Feng could finally calm down and cultivate.
He only had two bottles of Yuan Ling Dan; this amount was definitely insufficient. Unfortunately, he did not have the formula for Yuan Ling Dan. However, having the formula for Fifth-Level Concentration Pill was also a good option. Xu Feng's Super Concentration Pill was not inferior to Yuan Ling Dan.
As time passed, Fire Origin Pills were consumed one by one until they were all gone.
After ten hours, both bottles of Fire Origin Pill were depleted, yet Xu Feng's Dragon's Fury was still at the early stage of the second layer with little progress. At this rate, breaking through to the third layer would likely take three to five years.
Xu Feng walked to the cave entrance and glanced at A Qi, indicating that he wanted to go out.
A Qi looked at Xu Feng disdainfully and pointed at the two jade bottles on the ground, seemingly displeased with Xu Feng relying on pills to advance his cultivation.
Xu Feng felt somewhat disheartened under A Qi's gaze. What was wrong with using pills? Isn't having medicine a skill? This is how humans cultivate; it seems you don't understand that as a monster.
With a leap, A Qi flew out of the cave. Upon seeing this, Xu Feng followed suit but did not attempt to catch A Qi. With Xu Feng's Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage strength, as long as he could grab something to slow his descent on the cliff wall, he would land safely, so A Qi was not worried.
As Xu Feng plummeted rapidly through the sky and noticed A Qi remaining indifferent, he had no choice but to spread his arms and summon the Wings of the Strange Dragon. His falling body stabilized immediately, and with a gentle flap, he glided down safely to the bottom of the cliff.
A Qi was taken aback by Xu Feng's display; it turned out he was playing tricks on her.
After drinking some water from the stream at the bottom of the cliff, Xu Feng caught a fish and prepared to barbecue it. However, A Qi flapped her wings and sent the fish flying out of sight.
Without a word, she launched an all-out attack on Xu Feng.
Xu Feng understood that A Qi wanted to test his cultivation over the past three months, so he stepped forward to engage her in battle. After three months apart, Xu Feng's strength had significantly increased. The Superior Spirit Sword in his hand was already capable of inflicting damage on A Qi. After blocking several strikes, A Qi's feathers bore shallow marks.
In these three months, it wasn't just Xu Feng who had improved; A Qi had also made progress. At her level, advancing even a little is quite difficult, yet she had managed to improve in just three months, showing remarkable speed.
If Xu Feng used sword energy to attack, A Qi could almost ignore it. However, when he closed in with direct strikes from the Superior Spirit Sword, A Qi still found it challenging to withstand. Suddenly, a fiery glow surged through A Qi's wings; when the Superior Spirit Sword struck them, it only produced a faint sound and failed to harm her at all.
"Protective Vital Energy!"
Xu Feng realized that A Qi had activated her protective spiritual power. While this kind of energy was not very effective among cultivators of the same level, it was extremely useful against Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, equivalent to wearing top-tier armor that could not be breached.
Forcing A Qi to use her protective energy indicated that Xu Feng's progress had been acknowledged by her.
However, today A Qi seemed to have taken something that made her overly aggressive; she suddenly soared higher into the air, taking advantage of Xu Feng's inability to fly. Waves of powerful energy swept toward him. Xu Feng felt an immediate increase in pressure and drew both swords in a desperate attempt to block the attacks. But how could he withstand A Qi's onslaught? The energy that slipped through continuously slammed into his body.
"Ah! Ah! Ahhh!" Xu Feng cried out in pain as he was beaten up, sounding like a wailing ghost.
A Qi continued to strike fiercely, mercilessly tormenting Xu Feng's body. Eventually, Xu Feng gave up resisting, curled up on the ground, and rolled around like a street thug being beaten.
It seemed that A Qi had become addicted to the fight and did not stop attacking. Xu Feng's cries grew louder until they completely disappeared, and he fainted.
Only then did A Qi stop, casting a disdainful glance. After a few minutes, A Qi grabbed Xu Feng and tossed him into the nearby stream. The icy water immediately jolted Xu Feng awake.
On the shore, A Qi flicked its golden claws, looking at Xu Feng as if he were an idiot.
"I was wrong, I really was wrong," Xu Feng said while crawling out, sounding like a nagging old woman. "I only knew that taking medicine was useful; I didn't realize you liked it too. I was wrong, really! I shouldn't have taken it all by myself; I should have shared some with you."
This left A Qi dumbfounded. Having interacted more with humans and being a Sixth-Level Monster itself, it was intelligent enough to understand Xu Feng's words.
"This bastard thinks I'm trying to compete with him for medicine? Am I that kind of creature?" A Qi thought unhappily.
Xu Feng crawled out of the water, his body bruised and battered, but only suffering superficial injuries. With a little effort, he dried his clothes.
Seeing Xu Feng emerge, A Qi flared its wings again. Startled, Xu Feng slipped and fell back into the stream. A Qi shook all over and let out an unpleasant cackling laugh.
Xu Feng couldn't help but laugh and cry at being teased by a Birdman; what kind of situation was this?
Back in the cave, Xu Feng took a fifth-level Healing Elixir, and his injuries quickly healed. A Qi rested a wing on Xu Feng's shoulder, channeling spiritual energy into him. After circulating through his body for a moment, it returned to A Qi's wings.
A Qi nodded inexplicably and let out a strange call before flying out of the cave.
"Uh." Xu Feng was left bewildered by A Qi's actions.
According to A Qi's intention, Xu Feng checked his spiritual energy and was pleasantly surprised to find that the spiritual energy he had just cultivated had become much more refined after being struck by A Qi. It had all seeped into his bones and flesh, transforming into Refined Energy.
It turned out that A Qi saw that he was using medicinal methods for rapid cultivation. Knowing that while this method was quick, it was not very refined and did not greatly benefit the body, A Qi used force to penetrate Xu Feng's body, refining his spiritual energy through external tempering to solidify his cultivation.
"I was wrong, really, I was wrong," Xu Feng said foolishly. "I know you mean well, but can you please improve the method and not be so violent?" Xu Feng smiled bitterly; according to A Qi's cultivation method, every time he advanced a level, he would be beaten up by this Birdman. What a painful life that would be.
After A Qi's "forging," Xu Feng's cultivation was quickly stabilized.
Xu Feng took out all the Fifth-Rank Pills and began the next round of cultivation.
Having finished the Fire Origin Pill, Xu Feng now used the pills he had searched from several disciples at the Nine Dragon Pool. He had several bottles of Fifth-Rank Pills, enough for him to consume for a month.
As for the Sixth-Level Elixirs among them, Xu Feng did not dare to use them excessively. Until he obtained the formula for the Sixth-Level Elixir, it was better to keep these Sixth-Level stocks for emergencies.
