Cultivating With Mutated Heavenly Spirit Roots-Chapter 44: New Destination

When Fang Hong heard the words "Dao Companion," a wave of heat instantly rushed to his face, which quickly turned red. His heart rate also involuntarily sped up, and he couldn’t help but recall the ups and downs he and Su Shan had experienced a few days prior.

"Do you... do you want to do it here? Isn’t that a bit inappropriate...? Your good sister is still over there trying to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment. What if we disturb her?" Fang Hong lowered his voice and whispered, his tone filled with hesitation and shyness.

His eyes occasionally darted towards Lin Na, who was focused on her Foundation Establishment Breakthrough by the pool, and his mind began to wander.

"It’s fine, I’ll set up a formation," Su Shan said with a gentle and charming smile.

She calmly took three Formation Flags from her Storage Pouch and began to set them up with focused eyes.

The three Formation Flags landed precisely around them, forming a triangular shape.

"What kind of formation is this?" Fang Hong asked curiously.

"This is a Small Hidden Mountain Formation. With this formation in place, Na Na won’t sense us, nor will she hear any sounds," Su Shan said with full confidence, her tone very certain.

"My master specifically taught me this Small Hidden Mountain Formation. It’s especially good for concealment and sound insulation. With it, we don’t have to worry about disturbing Na Na."

"This Dao of formations is truly profound and unfathomable..." Fang Hong’s expression was a bit strange. This Su Shan, she really thought of everything...

At this moment, Su Shan’s hands began to become restless. Fang Hong chuckled, then quickly took some clothes from his Storage Pouch and spread them on the ground, beginning to explore the Dao of Dual Cultivation with Su Shan.

And so, in this hidden fourth-floor underground palace, Lin Na diligently focused on her Foundation Establishment Breakthrough by the pool, while within the Small Hidden Mountain Formation, clouds turned and rain poured, a Dragon roared and a Phoenix cried. Fang Hong and Su Shan were also diligently Cultivating, making progress together...

Two months later, Lin Na slowly opened her eyes, a look of joy on her pretty face.

Fang Hong and Su Shan stood nearby. After two months of diligent Cultivation, both of their Cultivations had also improved. Su Shan had Broken Through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and Fang Hong had likewise Broken Through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

"Sister Shan, I’ve successfully achieved Foundation Establishment!" Lin Na excitedly ran over and hugged Su Shan.

"With your Dual Spiritual Root, Foundation Establishment was only a matter of time," Su Shan said with a smile.

"Oh? Sister Shan, you’ve Broken Through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, how amazing!" Lin Na only then noticed Su Shan’s Cultivation change, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Haha... it’s alright," Su Shan smiled sweetly, unconsciously recalling the loving time she spent with Fang Hong over the past two months.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, you’ve also Broken Through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage," Lin Na looked at Fang Hong, who was standing beside her, and was surprised again.

"Uh, yes, it’s all the result of diligent Cultivation," Fang Hong chuckled, thinking that Su Shan’s formation was indeed powerful, as Lin Na knew nothing.

"There aren’t many treasures on the fourth floor, so it’s time for us to leave this underground palace," Su Shan suggested, worried that Lin Na might discover something if she kept asking questions, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Staying here for too long might lead to some danger, so let’s get out first."

The three of them nodded, then followed the original passage out of the underground palace.

After confirming there were no traps on the stairs, the three of them quickened their pace significantly this time and soon reached the ground level.

An hour later, the three of them returned to the surface, where everything was as usual.

Su Shan slightly raised her hand, and a surge of magical power flowed from her fingertip, instantly retracting the surrounding Hidden Mountain Formation.

"The Ancient Tomb business is done, so it’s time for us to return to the sect. Fellow Daoist Fang, what are your plans?" Su Shan turned and asked Fang Hong.

"I’ll probably return to the sect as well," Fang Hong replied.

"Alright, then we’ll see each other next time. I look forward to fighting alongside Fellow Daoist Fang again!" Su Shan waved her hand and gave Fang Hong a sweet smile, warming his heart.

"Goodbye, Fellow Daoist Fang!" Lin Na also waved goodbye.

Then, the two women flew away on their Spiritual Artifacts.

Fang Hong watched Su Shan’s departing figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He couldn’t help but secretly sigh, it was truly a wonderful journey, especially all the things that happened between him and Su Shan, which he found unforgettable.

Since his grandfather passed away, there was no one left in his heart that he was truly concerned about. Now, his beloved wife Su Shan was one... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Fang Hong collected himself and flew away from this desolate wilderness on his Spiritual Artifact.

This trip to the Ancient Tomb had been quite fruitful: over three hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, a mysterious ancient scroll, earth fire crystals, and various materials from the Flood Dragon. These were all rare treasures.

Moreover, his Cultivation had also Broken Through to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and he was not far from the second revolution of the "Three Revolutions Overlord Art."

As he flew, he pondered his next Cultivation plan.

Fang Hong thought about it and decided there was no need to return to the sect. He would continue to stay in the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Forest to hunt Demonic Beasts, striving to achieve Major Achievement in his cultivation technique as soon as possible. Thus, he sped up his flight and headed towards the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Forest...

And so, Fang Hong’s life returned to normal: hunting Demonic Beasts, refining spirit pills, drawing talismans, honing Spiritual Artifacts, and so on—monotonous yet fulfilling.

Days passed, and Fang Hong continuously grew in his Cultivation.

...

"Hey, have you noticed that there are far fewer Demonic Beasts in the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Forest lately?" one Cultivator said with a frown.

"Indeed, before, you’d run into a Demonic Beast not long after walking, but now you can go quite far without encountering one," another Cultivator echoed, shaking his head helplessly.

"Could all the Demonic Beasts have been killed?"

"Who knows, it’s going to be hard to collect Demonic Beast materials for spirit stones now..."

The two Cultivators walked out of the Warm Inn, still complaining non-stop.

At this moment, Fang Hong also walked out of the inn. He had heard the two Cultivators’ complaints, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The sharp decline in Demonic Beasts in the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Forest was naturally his doing. He had indeed killed many Demonic Beasts for his Cultivation during this period.

Two years had passed since the Ancient Tomb trip.

Fang Hong had been quietly Cultivating in Ten Thousand Demons City. To refine spirit pills and improve his Cultivation, he had killed a large number of Demonic Beasts, and his Cultivation was now back at the Foundation Establishment Early-Phase.

He had already completed the second revolution of the "Three Revolutions Overlord Art." At this moment, he already had two True Yuan Elixirs in his body. As soon as he condensed the third True Yuan Elixir, it would be time for him to advance to Core Formation.

This time, it took Fang Hong two years to complete the second revolution, which was much slower than before. The main reason was that the Demonic Beasts in the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Forest had decreased. After all, Demonic Beasts also needed time to grow, and it was impossible for him to have a sufficient supply of Demonic Beasts to kill every day.

Now that the outer and middle areas of the Ten Thousand Demons Ancient Forest had fewer Demonic Beasts, and Fang Hong dared not go to the core area for fear of encountering a Level 5 Demonic Beast, he reluctantly decided to change his location for hunting Demonic Beasts.

This time, he set his target destination as "Sand Country"...
