Yueling Mountain has been reduced to ruins.
But some people are still alive in the ruins.
Feng Qiao!
Because of the backlash from the Yin-Yang Banner, Feng Qiao had been healing himself. During the chaotic battle at Yueling Mountain, he took the opportunity to hide.
Feng Qiao did indeed possess some treasures; a fourth-grade barrier talisman saved his life.
The protective talisman created a three-square-meter space, where Feng Qiao hid. Even though the Yueling Mountain outside was in turmoil, he survived.
But he was merely alive. Feng Qiao was devoured by the Yin-Yang Banner, and his essence and blood were almost completely absorbed. He was now thin and skin and bones.
After a hundred years of cultivation, he has now been almost completely destroyed by the backlash of the Yin-Yang Banner, becoming a cripple.
"Su Qing! I want you dead! It's all because of you that I've become like this."
Feng Qiao lay on the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. A red light flashed in his eyes, and he held a tattered Yin-Yang Banner in his hand!
In fact, from the moment Feng Qiao began using the Yin-Yang Banner of demonic cultivation, he had already taken one step onto the path of demonic cultivation. However, since he was still at the Foundation Establishment stage and did not use the Yin-Yang Banner often, he was able to resist the temptation and not immediately fall into the demonic path.
However, severely injured at this time, Feng Qiao was lured by the vengeful spirits within the Yin-Yang Banner and had abandoned himself, becoming a demonic cultivator.
A chilling wind blew from within the Yin-Yang Banner, and Feng Qiao's body glowed with black light as he greedily devoured the vengeful ghosts and vengeful spirits within it.
These vengeful ghosts and spirits have drained his life essence, and now he is determined to take it all back!
"ah!"
The vengeful ghost screamed and turned into a wisp of smoke, dissipating into the air—its soul had been annihilated.
Finally, Feng Qiao raised his head. At this moment, Feng Qiao's eyes were bloodshot, and black demonic energy emanated from his body. He squeezed hard, and the already tattered Yin-Yang Banner was instantly shrouded in black demonic energy, then turned into black dust, which fell down in a flurry.
Demonic transformation!
Feng Qiao has completely transformed into a demonic cultivator and can never go back to what he was before.
However, he was still feeling quite well at that moment.
He had been stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage for a long time and wanted to break through. He had tried dual cultivation before, which had some effect, but it was not significant.
Now, he has become a demonic cultivator. The path to advancement for demonic cultivators is through souls and blood. At this moment, Feng Qiao feels that his road ahead is long. As long as he has enough souls and blood, he can continue to cultivate and improve himself.
It had been a long time since he had felt this way, and a wicked smile crept onto Feng Qiao's lips.
"Hahaha, so this is what it feels like to fall into the demon realm!"
In the dead of night, Feng Qiao emerged from underground and greedily devoured the lifeblood of passing mortals.
Before dawn, he burrowed underground again. He had just been corrupted by demons and could not be exposed to light, so he could only live underground. At this time, the underground passage under Yueling Mountain had become his home.
The city of Anyang has completely changed.
The Su family became the only cultivation family in Anyang City. All three elders and their power were lost at Yueling Mountain. Now, Su Yingcheng has become the true leader of the Su family.
Su Yingcheng took over the Ye family's beauties, indulging in revelry day and night, and didn't see the sun for a whole month.
Although the dual cultivation technique did not increase Su Yingcheng's cultivation level, it did result in the pregnancy of more than a dozen of his beauties.
Su Yingcheng was overjoyed. If there was a child with the same talent as Su Qing among them, wouldn't his Su family be set to prosper?
After leaving Yueling Mountain with Ye Qingqing, Su Qing left Su Yingcheng with a lot of pills and talismans before returning to Xuanling Sect.
Ye Qingqing was no longer able to cultivate, so in order to preserve her soul, Su Qing could only refine Ye Qingqing's body into a puppet.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, the Spirit Strengthening Pills have long been sold out. Come to the trading area to collect your spirit stones."
When the jade pendant lit up, Su Qing remembered that she had posted an ad to sell 3,000 Spirit-Stabilizing Pills every day. She entrusted the sale to the trading office that managed the trading market, and within ten days, 20,000 Spirit-Stabilizing Pills were sold out.
Su Qing's storage space suddenly contained 300,000 high-grade spirit stones.
"Junior Sister Su Qing, this is our Xuanling Sect's spirit stone crystal card. It contains 300,000 high-grade spirit stones. You can exchange it for spirit stones at any shop in the Xuanling Sect."
Su Qing accepted the spirit stone crystal card handed to her by her senior brother. The spirit stone crystal card was black in color and decorated with twinkling stars. Only those with assets of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones were qualified to hold a spirit stone crystal card.
However, Su Qing only glanced at the spirit stone crystal card before handing it back to her senior brother.
"Senior brother, I need some materials."
As she spoke, Su Qing took out a piece of paper, which was filled with various materials.
The worst materials here are from fifth-tier demonic beasts, and some are even from seventh- or eighth-tier demonic beasts.
The senior staff member at the trading office was stunned; there were so many materials!
"If we don't have enough spirit stones, I'll think of something else." Su Qing's voice was tired and hoarse.
"I'll try my best to find one for you," said the senior colleague at the trading office.
Back in the cave, Su Qing placed a bed there, on which lay Ye Qingqing, still fast asleep.
To protect Ye Qingqing's body, Su Qing placed an immortality talisman on her body, but to bring Ye Qingqing back to life, her body had to be refined into a puppet.
Su Qing had already gone to find Elder Qiu of Jiuhua Peak, but Elder Qiu was only at the Core Formation stage, and his skill in crafting puppets was only average.
Su Qing thought of Protector Bai, who had escorted them to the secret realm. Protector Bai was a Nascent Soul stage weapon refiner, so refining puppets was naturally no problem for him.
Su Qing found Bai Xintong, who readily agreed and took Su Qing to find her brother, Protector Bai.
Protector Bai readily agreed to help Su Qing refine it, but she would have to prepare the materials herself.
So he handed her a list of materials and told her that as long as she had enough materials, he would refine Ye Qingqing's body into a puppet with a physical strength comparable to a Core Formation stage cultivator.
Su Qing's hands trembled slightly as she looked at the materials.
All of these materials were from high-level demonic beasts, materials that were simply unimaginable for someone like Su Qing, who was only at the Qi Refining stage.
Even if she bought it with spirit stones, it would still be far from enough if she spent all 300,000 high-grade spirit stones she had.
Su Qing glanced at Ye Qingqing, who was lying there quietly as if asleep, took a deep breath, and then went to refine pills.
She was determined to bring Ye Qingqing back to life; this was her obsession.
Now that Su Qing has a gigantic alchemy furnace, refining large quantities of pills is not difficult.
She hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, so she can't refine fourth-grade pills, but she has already refined countless batches of third-grade pills.
Some of the grade three pills were sold in the trading market, while others were sent directly to the Xuanling Sect's medicine room. All the pills in the medicine room were transported out of the Xuanling Sect and sent to the Treasure Pill Pavilion opened by the Xuanling Sect on the Wuyuan Continent.
Baodan Pavilion sold a large quantity of pills, and these cost-effective pills quickly gained recognition from ordinary cultivators on the Wuyuan Continent.
Baodan Pavilion seems poised to dominate the entire pill market of the Boundless Continent.
The Wuji Sect, one of the five major sects, has the most alchemists among its members. When they saw that the market share of Baodan Pavilion had surpassed that of Mingdan Pavilion of the Wuji Sect, all the alchemists were unconvinced and worked day and night to refine pills, trying to outdo Baodan Pavilion's pills.
Unfortunately, although they produced a lot of pills, their effects were not as good as those of the Treasure Pill Pavilion. As a result, the more they produced, the less they sold, and in the end, they had to sell them off at rock-bottom prices.
Wuji Sect suffered a hidden loss as a result!
"Only alchemy masters can refine pills of this quality! Are the alchemy masters of the Xuanling Sect too idle? They actually refine such low-grade pills."
"Hmph, the Xuanling Sect has always acted strangely."
"Now our Mingdanxuan pills are not selling well, and we are afraid that our future will be difficult."
...
For a time, all the alchemists of the Wuji Sect looked like wilted eggplants.
Alchemists are the profession that earns the most spirit stones, but the alchemists of the Wuji Sect cannot produce pills of the same quality as those of the Baodan Pavilion of the Xuanling Sect, so they earn less spirit stones.
These alchemists were naturally unconvinced, but there was nothing they could do; their skills were simply inferior!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Baodan Pavilion defeated the pills of other sects and became the number one pill shop in the Wuyuan Continent.
