Cultivating To Immortality

Counting the time, it had been almost two years since his last departure.

Logically speaking, the Endless Sea Chamber of Commerce should have prepared the grade 7 Demon Attraction Powder by now, right?

Fang Hong was already impatient to hunt grade 7 demonic beasts.

During this period, he mainly hunted grade 5 and grade 6 Demonic Beasts; there were also some grade 7 ones, but very few, only a handful.

As soon as he received the grade 7 Demon Attraction Powder, he could move to a more dangerous area to hunt grade 7 demonic beasts.

With his current Late stage of Golden Core strength, he could hunt anything as long as he didn’t encounter an Eight-grade Great Demon.

"Little Cai, let’s go back to Four Seas City," he said, putting Little Cai back into his Spiritual Beast Pouch, ready to depart.

Rumble.

Just as Fang Hong was about to leave, a sound of fighting suddenly came from the distant sea.

Fang Hong frowned, looked up, and saw golden light shining in the sky; a large, golden bird was rapidly chasing a woman in a green robe.

"That’s a Golden-winged Bird."

Fang Hong looked at the golden bird in the sky, his eyes lit up, and a look of great joy appeared on his face.

That dazzling golden bird was called a Golden-winged Bird; its feathers were golden yellow, it was covered in a brilliant glow, its beak was sharp as a hook, its wingspan was five or six zhang long, and its entire body exuded a formidable Demonic Qi.

It was a powerful Demonic Bird of the Outer Sea, known for its speed and sharp attacks.

More importantly, this Golden-winged Bird had clearly reached grade 7, and it was a relatively rare Metal-attribute demonic beast in the sea.

If he could kill it and extract its demon blood, it could be used to strengthen his Four Symbols Formation.

Fang Hong was overjoyed at the thought.

Because in the previous period, he had already collected three types of grade 7 demon blood: wood, water, and fire, only lacking Metal-attribute grade 7 demon blood.

This Golden-winged Bird came at just the right time.

At this moment, the Golden-winged Bird was chasing a woman in a green robe.

The woman, about twenty years old, had delicate features and wore a green Daoist robe with a blue cloak Spiritual Treasure over it. Her escape speed was extremely fast, and she was also a Late stage of Golden Core cultivator.

Judging from her temperament and appearance, Fang Hong guessed that she must come from a major power, perhaps a young Elder of a sect.

The woman in the green robe had clearly been chased by the Golden-winged Bird for a long time, fleeing in a sorry state while resisting the golden light shot by the Golden-winged Bird, her situation quite critical.

As she flew, the woman in the green robe soon passed by the small island where Fang Hong was, and she noticed Fang Hong.

However, the situation was critical, so she could only continue flying forward.

Just then, the Golden-winged Bird also discovered Fang Hong on the island.

It suddenly changed direction, its wings flapping to stir up a strong wind, and it directly abandoned its original target, pouncing on Fang Hong to kill him.

Caw!

The Golden-winged Bird let out a piercing shriek, its eyes wide with fury, and shot out two golden light beams from its eyes.

Sizzle.

Fang Hong’s figure flickered, easily dodging. The two golden lights landed on a reef beside him, and with a loud "bang," the entire reef instantly exploded, obviously possessing extraordinary power. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The Golden-winged Bird did not stop its attack, continuing to use its sharp claws to repeatedly strike at Fang Hong.

Fang Hong appeared relaxed, dodging the attacks as if strolling leisurely, toying with the Golden-winged Bird, making it furious and attack even more vigorously, but it just couldn’t hit Fang Hong.

The woman in the green robe stopped not far away. The Golden-winged Bird turning to attack that person surprised her a little.

She was hesitating whether to go help, after all, she had led the Golden-winged Bird over.

After thinking for a moment, the woman in the green robe decided to offer help. She didn’t believe that two Late stage of Golden Core cultivators couldn’t deal with one bird.

"Fellow Daoist, don’t be afraid, I’ll help you." the woman in the green robe shouted, taking out a golden long spear, intending to go assist Fang Hong.

But just then, Fang Hong conjured the Heavenly Thunder Needle, transforming it into an axe shape, and with a "whoosh," he actually chopped off the Golden-winged Bird’s large head with one axe strike!

The Golden-winged Bird’s head still had its mouth wide open, but its aura was completely gone, and its corpse fell heavily to the ground, dying on the spot.

"Uhh."

The woman in the green robe saw this scene, her eyes almost popping out, and she also opened her mouth wide, too shocked to speak.

A grade 7 Golden-winged Bird, just like that was chopped to death with one axe?

"Fellow, Fellow Daoist, you are so fierce." The woman in the green robe didn’t know what to say, so she gave Fang Hong a thumbs up, and after leaving this remark, she immediately fled.

She dared not be alone with such a fierce person like Fang Hong, it was too dangerous!

Fang Hong glanced at the fleeing woman in the green robe, too lazy to bother with her; she was just a stranger he had never met. It was good enough that he got the Golden-winged Bird.

Fang Hong retrieved the Heavenly Thunder Needle, began collecting the Golden-winged Bird’s demon blood, kept some claw materials, and then took out the demon gourd to absorb the corpse and refine it into a spirit pill.

After everything was tidied up, Fang Hong transformed into a red light and flew directly to his temporary Immortal Cave.

...

Soon, Fang Hong returned to his temporary Immortal Cave. He sat cross-legged inside the stone house, took out four jade gourd spiritual artifacts, which contained four types of grade 7 demon blood.

Next, Fang Hong also took out a pile of demonic beast materials, Four Symbols Formation Flags, and the refining method for the "Wood Escape Talisman" he had obtained before. He planned to refine them all at once.

Fang Hong composed himself, breathed out his Dan Fire, threw the demonic beast materials into it, and began refining.

In a flash, another month passed.

Fang Hong was still sitting cross-legged in his Immortal Cave. To his right was a wooden box, inside which were twenty Wood Escape Talismans, shimmering with green light.

For a life-saving talisman like Wood Evasion, the more the better. If it weren’t for the insufficient Wood-attribute grade 7 demon blood, he would have wanted to refine more.

Besides the Wood Escape Talismans, a brand new Formation Disk and four Formation Flags, shimmering with golden light, were suspended in front of Fang Hong. These were the upgraded Four Symbols Formation Tools.

This time, the Four Symbols Formation had been strengthened with grade 7 demon blood, and its power had increased by another grade.

With this formation in hand, coupled with his Heavenly Thunder Needle Spiritual Treasure, he feared nothing below the Nascent Soul stage.

Fang Hong put away the Four Symbols Formation Tools and Wood Escape Talismans, walked out of the Immortal Cave, and casually retrieved the Hidden Mountain Formation Tools outside the Immortal Cave. It was time to return to Four Seas City to collect the grade 7 Demon Attraction Powder.

Hunting demons in the Outer Sea without the aid of Demon Attraction Powder would greatly reduce efficiency.

Fang Hong had once tried not using Demon Attraction Powder, and as a result, he didn’t encounter a single demonic beast in a day, which made him feel both amused and frustrated.

...

About an hour later, Fang Hong arrived at Water Moon Island. It was still the same, with only a few cultivators coming and going, and a desolate atmosphere.

The Old man selling maps was still sitting in his usual spot, dozing off.

Fang Hong didn’t linger, heading straight for the Teleportation Hall.

Since no cultivators were returning to Four Seas City, he had to spend two thousand spirit stones to use the Teleportation formation alone, but he wasn’t short on spirit stones anyway.

As the Teleportation formation’s light flickered, Fang Hong’s figure gradually disappeared from the Teleportation Hall.

Fang Hong successfully returned to Four Seas City, still without delay, flying directly to the Endless Sea Chamber of Commerce to collect his grade 7 Demon Attraction Powder.
