After six hours of continuous refinent, Xiao Chen finally broke into the Hundred Poison Demon’s Storage Bag.
His first reaction was—huge!
Compared to his own original three-foot-square Storage Bag, this one was six feet on each side—a full eight tis the volu.
Naturally, it could hold far more supplies.
However, that was hardly an issue.
Xiao Chen swept his Divine Sense across the interior, taking a full inventory in just a few breaths.
First up were 3,238 Spirit Stones.
Next was a large stack of assorted Tier One Talismans, as well as two custom-made Tier Two Spirit Talismans.
The two Spirit Talismans were the Yellow Earth Warrior Talisman that the Hundred Poison Demon had used before, and a Gang Wind Demon Slayer Talisman.
He checked them and saw that their Spirit Seals were still good for a full two months.
Xiao Chen had heard before that after Foundation Establishnt, the Spirit Seals drawn by a Talisman Cultivator could last for up to three months.
A full three tis longer than the previous one-month limit.
Now that he was holding the real things, he imdiately understood that this was another benefit brought by Liquid Magical Power.
Then, there were over a hundred stalks of Spirit Grass he couldn’t na—or rather, they were probably Poisonous Grass.
That was because all these Spirit Grasses had extrely vibrant colors.
After that was a copy of the *Hundred Poison Scripture*, which recorded the crafting thods for over a hundred different poisons, including teorite Powder.
There was also a *Hundred Poison Scripture Annotation* and a *New Annotations on the Hundred Poison Scripture*, which added many insights on their creation.
’This must be the legendary Poison Dao, one of the so-called unorthodox paths.’
Xiao Chen flipped through it curiously and discovered that the *Hundred Poison Scripture Annotation* even ca thoughtfully equipped with Ink and Water illustrations.
They helped him confirm that the Spirit Grasses from before were, in fact, genuine Poisonous Grass.
However, the Cultivation Heart thod in the *Hundred Poison Scripture* only went up to the third level of Foundation Establishnt; there was nothing beyond that.
One would have to switch to another Cultivation Technique or create a new one themselves.
He couldn’t help but shake his head. ’Without a follow-up technique, it’s just a dead end.’
Still, Xiao Chen could understand. For many Cultivators, the bigger problem was simply reaching the third level of Foundation Establishnt in their lifeti, let alone worrying about what ca after.
Next was a pile of bottles and jars, all of them filled with poison.
Two bottles of Tier Two Spring Pills, which could restore Magical Power.
One bottle of Tier Two Green Frost Pills, which could aid in cultivation.
Finally, besides so other miscellaneous items, there were three important items left.
The first was a leather scroll titled *Luotian Seven Poison Secret Scroll*. It looked like another Demon Technique from the Luotian Sect.
The second was a full pound of Fla Light Spiritual Sand.
Fla Light Spiritual Sand was an extrely rare treasure. After consumption, it could temporarily and significantly increase a Cultivator’s control over their Fire Spirit Power, allowing them to wield it with absolute precision.
Therefore, it could be used to accelerate the cultivation process for most types of Fire Magic.
Even Fire Avoidance Techniques, like the Fire Transformation Treasure Talisman, were no exception.
The Hundred Poison Demon had been carrying a whole pound of it, which was more than enough to push all three of Xiao Chen’s current Fire Magic techniques to Great Success.
The third was a Tier Two Yellow-level Technique that the Hundred Poison Demon had collected: *Sky-Filling Fla Radiance*.
’Could it be that he prepared the Fla Light Spiritual Sand because he wanted to switch to cultivating Fire Magic?’
This *Sky-Filling Fla Radiance* was, naturally, also a Fire Magic technique. That couldn’t be helped. Li State was close to a volcanic cluster, so things related to the Fire Elent were inevitably more common.
Xiao Chen briefly skimd through it and was surprised to find that this technique had four Realms.
They were Entry, Minor Success, Mastery, and Great Success.
’Compared to the Magic of the Qi Refining Stage, this one has an extra Mastery Realm. Is this a characteristic of Tier Two Magic? Or is this technique itself simply more advanced?’
Pondering this, Xiao Chen sorted and organized all the items.
He then imdiately began cultivating *Sky-Filling Fla Radiance*, eager to experience the difference in a Tier Two magic for himself.
Although it was a Fire Technique, the thod of cultivation felt sowhat like Water Magic.
It actually required one to first follow the Heart thod to condense cloud-like formations of Fla Radiance, each one a fiery red.
Concealed within the Fla Radiance were varying numbers of Red Fla Radiance strands, forming freely moving traps.
It seed to be a magic geared toward kiting and battles of attrition.
As soone who had achieved Celestial Dao Foundation Establishnt, Xiao Chen’s affinity for the Five Elents Attributes had increased by a large margin compared to before.
At the sa ti, he unhesitatingly took a grain of Fla Light Spiritual Sand and swallowed it to help him quickly reach the entry-level.
Besides, it wasn’t sothing he had collected himself, so he didn’t feel the slightest bit of regret using it.
Under the triple boost of his Celestial Dao Foundation Establishnt, the Fla Light Spiritual Sand, and his Featherweight talent, it took him only half an hour to successfully condense his first wisp of Fla Radiance.
After another half an hour, he successfully refined a strand of Red Fla Radiance into the Fla Radiance.
This ant that in just one hour, he had smoothly achieved the entry-level.
Afterward, Xiao Chen was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Fla Radiance also had the effect of blocking Divine Sense.
If he didn’t place his own imprint on the Fla Radiance with his Divine Sense during its Refinent, then after it finished condensing, not even his own Divine Sense could penetrate it to see what was inside.
’That makes sense. If you could just sweep it with Divine Sense and see if there was Red Fla Radiance hidden inside, who would fall for the trap?’
’But in that case, couldn’t this magic also be used as a Concealing Technique?’
Xiao Chen quickly thought of an ingenious application.
For example, during Magical Combat, he could completely hide himself within one of the wisps of Fla Radiance.
That way, unless the enemy attacked all the wisps of Fla Radiance simultaneously, they would first have to guess where he was.
’However, at the Entry Realm, I can only condense three wisps of Fla Radiance. That’s still too few.’
Moreover, Xiao Chen discovered that this ti, his Featherweight talent hadn’t increased the number of Fla Radiance wisps, but had instead enhanced the power of the Red Fla Radiance.
He wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
After all, if he could fill the sky with fiery clouds with just a wave of his hand, how damn cool would that look?
Whether a magic is strong or not is one thing; if it’s not good enough, he could always find a way to replace it.
But whether it looks good or not? That’s for life.
’Thankfully, it’s not completely hopeless.’
With every breakthrough in *Sky-Filling Fla Radiance*, the number of Fla Radiance wisps would triple.
Reaching Minor Success would yield nine wisps, Mastery would yield twenty-seven, and if he could reach the Great Success Realm, he could condense a full eighty-one.
The thought of that spectacular scene instantly filled Xiao Chen with motivation.
He picked up another grain of Fla Light Spiritual Sand, swallowed it, and continued his diligent cultivation.
He did this both to master the magic sooner and to gain another effective tool for combat.
Xiao Chen decided to simply stay at the Liu Family’s residence for a few more days.
Liu Zhiyuan, of course, was delighted by this, arranging for a different girl to deliver Xiao Chen’s food for each of his six daily als.
Furthermore, each al consisted of eight dishes, and the selection was different every ti.
It was as if he were testing the limits of his household’s chef.
This continued until the sixth day, when Xiao Chen finally broke through to the Minor Achievent Realm.
He then enjoyed a proper feast and, under the chef’s gaze of imnse relief, waved goodbye to the Liu Family mbers who ca to see him off.
He headed straight back to the Li Huo Sect.
