Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 331 - 314: Enraged Out of Shame

The Essence of Gold Qi outside finally stopped its chaotic dance.

On one hand, Wang Wu’s refining of the Celestial Sixth Grade lifebound demon soldiers indeed consumed a significant amount of Essence of Gold Qi.

On the other hand, as time passed, this chaotic Essence of Gold Qi gradually quieted down naturally.

The final reason is that the Profound Iron blocks Wang Wu brought along absorbed a large amount of Essence of Gold Qi. As a result, they fused together and became immovable, and any attempt to cut them would trigger a grander dance of the Essence of Gold Qi.

Thus, the possibility of him being trapped here forever simply does not exist.

"Senior? Senior?"

Wang Wu called out several times, but the Peacock Emperor remained silent, unresponsive.

It was rather strange, as if to prevent him from refining a Celestial Fifth Grade lifebound demon soldier.

"Having two Celestial Sixth Grade lifebound demon soldiers seems not bad either." Wang Wu wasn’t too greedy; the secret of refining a Celestial Fifth Grade lifebound demon soldier is obtainable with effort.

So now, should he leave?

Or attempt to subdue that mass of Yin Fire?

Or further advance a realm and accumulate lifespan to five thousand years?

Standing there, Wang Wu contemplated. Suddenly, his right hand reached into the void before him, plucking out a small fish only a few inches in size, lively and agile.

But this was actually the lifebound flying sword of Lu Wuchen’s unnamed disciple, a Celestial Ninth Grade lifebound flying sword.

Wang Wu’s idea was simple—going by the principle of "never leaving empty-handed" since he was already here, he wanted to refine this lifebound flying sword.

Moreover, this place was rare; everywhere was sealed with Profound Iron, preventing any aura from escaping, with endless Essence of Gold Qi available for use.

Keep in mind that Wang Wu could’ve already refined a lifebound sword; the reason he hadn’t done so was partly that his acquired spirit pill system was not adept at offense, as even the Daoist techniques inscribed on the two spirit pills focused primarily on defense.

With lifebound demon soldiers serving as precedents, there was no need.

Truly, the acquired spirit pill system specializes in defense and logistics.

But also because refining lifebound demon soldiers or lifebound sword consumes too many resources and blood qi.

The best example is Wang Wu’s left front paw; did he not know that refining both paws into Celestial Sixth Grade lifebound demon soldiers would be more powerful?

He knew, but it was useless.

Without sufficient resources, he had to prioritize the right front paw.

But now it was different!

Missing such a great opportunity, could he still enter next time?

Would the Peacock Emperor send dreams to Kong Zhen, telling him that he was wasteful with great treasures by sharing them with outsiders?

Indeed, certainly.

Otherwise, why did the Peacock Emperor fall silent, refusing to disclose the key to refining Celestial Fifth Grade lifebound demon soldiers?

A family’s heritage is not to be squandered like this.

At this moment, the Heart of the Earth within Wang Wu throbbed, with ice and fire spiritual qi circulating at full speed, while the blood qi circulation slowed to only a tenth of its speed, ensuring that it wouldn’t overshadow!

Under Wang Wu’s control, ice and fire spiritual qi was forcibly injected into the lifebound flying sword, which struggled wildly, resisted fiercely, remained steadfastly loyal, preferring death over submission!

Its loyalty to its master was as clear as day!

Wang Wu exerted effort for a while but still couldn’t penetrate it.

It was quite Dragon Bi.

After pondering, Wang Wu sighed, telling it that it had driven him to this.

With a thought, the spiritual technique activated, and in the next moment, two spirit pills, one blue and one red, slowly appeared in the void before Wang Wu!

Precisely his Seventh Grade Ice Spirit Pill and Seventh Grade Fire Spirit Pill.

"Huh? You brat! Cultivating both innate and acquired, reaching such a level—isn’t right, not right at all. Demons cannot achieve this; wait a minute, you’re human! Damn! You’re human!"

The Peacock Emperor roared, fury and madness engulfing him. Alas, as merely a demon soul, he could do nothing but shout.

"Senior, you’ve misunderstood. I truly am a descendant of Xiong Pi, only practicing both innate and acquired!"

Wang Wu hurriedly explained, saying that the death of a human was significant, the death of a demon equally so, hoping not to sadden the old fellow too much, as he was kind-hearted.

"Bah! You can fool other demons; you can’t fool me! You, you, you—your essence is human; your demon soul, your soul is human! Ugh! I’m furious! You humans are too much! Too much!"

The Peacock Emperor continued his frenzy, but Wang Wu could do nothing about him.

Deciding to ignore him.

Simultaneously manipulating two ice and fire spirit pills, he took out a regular Profound Iron sword, first refining it with Ice Spiritual Qi, followed by Red Flame Spiritual Qi.

Anyway, the Ice Spirit Pill and Fire Spirit Pill are here like two giant hammers, you strike once, I strike once.

Without interruption, refining the Profound Iron Sword to keep shrinking until it’s as small as a grain of rice.

Wang Wu once again takes out a three-meter-square block of Profound Iron from the storage pouch, placing it on the rice-sized sword without any tricks, just boldly using the Ice and Fire Spirit Pills directly for refining.

The whole process is tedious and boring, but the consumption of Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi is quite significant.

Almost every time it consumes 1000 points of Ice Spiritual Qi and 1000 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi.

By the time Wang Wu completely integrates that Profound Iron Block into the rice-sized sword, he has already consumed five hundred thousand points of Ice Spiritual Qi and five hundred thousand points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi.

Even three months have passed.

There’s no way around it; refining the Lifebound Sword and Lifebound Demon Soldiers are equally difficult...

Alright then, the reason the latter seems easier is because his innate bloodline power is too strong, it’s really like the Bull Demon King plowing the field, the Little Overlord opening the mountain, all relying on brute force!

It’s strange not to be fast.

But at this moment, switching to the acquired Spiritual Pill system, the effect has been greatly extended, and in a big way.

Three months have passed, he seems to be working hard, but this sword currently is refined to only Ninth Grade (200/1000), yes, only one-fifth completed!

"Hahaha! You human little wretch! Old man sees what else you can do? Actually sneaked by and mixed into our Southern Wilderness Demon Race, ah ah ah, you’re doomed, you’re doomed, my great-grandchild will soon arrive, and once it does, I’ll tell it the truth and it’ll swipe you dead with one claw!"

The Peacock Emperor continues to curse, his energy truly abundant, non-stop all the time, with all sorts of filthy language, as if this might affect Wang Wu’s mind.

What a pity, it has no effect.

Wang Wu is quite conflicted as well, three months have passed, what’s going on outside?

Mainly whether the Companion Demon Vine will escape taking Xiong Shiliu with it?

Are Kong Zhen, Ya Bufan, and Yan Feihen truly sincerely loyal?

How’s the taxation going, are there any bold heroes jumping out to cleverly seize the Royal City’s taxes?

Too many variables.

Especially since initially he wasn’t primarily aiming to refine Lifebound Demon Soldiers, he just wanted to consume some resources in the small tripod, it was full.

He wanted to seize the time to set up the Five Elements Spirit Array.

So now, it really has become training in closed retreat in the secret realm.

"I can’t leave, first I must get hold of that mass of Yin Fire."

"To get that mass of Yin Fire, I must first liberate my own strand of Yin Fire."

"But to do that, I must first take care of this Lifebound Flying Sword..."

"Forget it! I don’t believe the Left Demon Emperor can arrive in such a short time, plus the Left Demon Emperor shouldn’t be that unreasonable either."

"Whatever happens outside, let it be!"

"At worst, I’ll wipe out a few races after I go out!"

"As for the Companion Demon Vine, if you can rebel, then go ahead."

Wang Wu touches the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf behind his head, the real lifeblood of that thing is here.

Having thought it through, there’s no panic, letting the Peacock Emperor curse as it wishes, treating it as background white noise.

He earnestly and solemnly refines the Lifebound Sword.

Target, Celestial Ninth Grade!

"Human little traitor, give up, you’ve got no chance, the old man can guess what you’re planning to do, but it’s impossible, absolutely impossible, the Fire Sword you stole, I don’t know from where, it’s very extraordinary, you want to use the Ice Sword to suppress it, to match it, but don’t know there’s its owner’s Essence Blood Divine Talisman left on it, perhaps in other places you might succeed, but here you cannot."

"I’ve observed, your small tripod is the human race’s Spiritual Treasure Cauldron, according to its specifications, the pure Spirit Liquid inside is only enough for you to drink a hundred sips, and since you came here, you’ve already drunk forty-two sips, which means you have fifty-eight sips left."

"Calculating by the grade of this Spirit Liquid, one sip can restore one hundred thousand Dou Vitality, you need to convert vitality to qi blood, and then convert qi blood through the Heart of the Earth to Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi, is that right?"

"Fifty-eight sips of Spirit Liquid equals five million eight hundred thousand Dou Vitality, and even with your Heart of the Earth being powerful, Demon Pill conversion being effective, consumption is unavoidable, what you get is just over five million Dou Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi."

"But look at your refining results over the past three months, heh heh, old man’s insightful eyes see no error, you’ve only completed twenty percent of the refining, the total Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi used is at least one million Dou."

"Which means, the Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi you have can barely refine the Ice Sword to Celestial Ninth Grade, but to break the Essence Blood Divine Talisman of the Fire Sword without harming it, preventing it from being disgraced, directly giving up and self-destructing, you need at least three million Dou Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi to refine both simultaneously, only then can you preliminarily complete the refining and control of the Ice and Fire Flying Sword."

"However, you’ve struggled for so long, unhesitatingly exposing your human traitor secrets, wanting to stay here for what? Isn’t it because of the essence of gold qi the old man left? You want to take this opportunity to refine even just one Celestial Eighth Grade Lifebound Flying Sword, especially one that also possesses an Ice and Fire Attribute Lifebound Flying Sword, tsk tsk, you hit the jackpot!"

"But you’re finished, because to refine it, first you need enough Profound Iron to absorb the essence of gold qi, second you need enough Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi, hahaha! Where can you get so much Ice and Fire Spiritual Qi?"

"You human little traitor, dog scoundrel! Thief, little rogue, petty burglar! You’ve shot yourself in the foot, hahaha! You absolutely can’t continue refining, you can only regret with a sigh, and if you want to return, you’ll also need enough qi blood to activate the teleportation array."

"And as soon as you leave, the old man will immediately transmit a dream, seal the secret realm, destroy the key, leaving you in despair until death, don’t even think about exploiting our Southern Wilderness Demon Race’s benefits anymore!"
