One hour later, the Water Lake Mouse and Spirit Worm collaborated to excavate a spacious underground cavern thirty yards beneath Celestial Cyan Peak.
Xu Ping stood at the center of the underground cave and took the Spiritual Spring’s Eye out from the Spirit Beast Bag.
This Spiritual Spring’s Eye emitted a dense Spiritual Qi, its glow shifting as if it contained endless vitality.
He ford seals with his hands, muttering a series of profound incantations, his voice low and rhythmic, as though conversing with the Primordial Qi of the heavens and earth.
As blue light flickered, strands of invisible Spiritual Power extended from the Spiritual Spring’s Eye, spreading deep underground, attempting to establish a connection with the spirit vein beneath Cyan Simurgh Peak.
"Go, guide the earth essence and Spiritual Qi from the underground spirit vein up here," Xu Ping commanded to the Spirit Worm while activating his magic.
"Hiss hiss!"
The Spirit Worm responded with a sound, its body nimbly burrowing into the earth like water.
Following the guidance of the Spiritual Power threads, it swiftly plunged deeper, seeking the hidden spirit vein node beneath the mountain range.
As the magic was activated and the Spirit Worm maneuvered, a mysterious link gradually ford between the Spiritual Spring’s Eye and the underground spirit vein, causing strands of Spiritual Qi to begin rging and gathering.
In a matter of monts, the concentration of Spiritual Qi within the cavern had risen to a staggering level, seemingly reaching the Fourth Rank level, almost comparable to the cultivation cave of a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
"Not bad, with such Spiritual Qi, the speed at which I can advance to Late-Stage Golden Core will significantly increase."
Xu Ping carefully felt the Spiritual Qi within the underground cavern, nodding in satisfaction.
This underground cavern, after his ticulous arrangent, had beco an excellent place for cultivation.
The dense Spiritual Qi seed tangible, like mist gently surrounding him, with each breath allowing the Qi to flow through his ridians, bringing waves of comfort.
"First, summon the Wood Spirit Avatar!"
Xu Ping pinched a magic technique with his hands, chanting mantras.
Due to its special nature, the Wood Spirit Avatar couldn’t be conveniently stored in the Spirit Beast Bag, so he had temporarily dispersed it before arriving at the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
Buzz!
With the completion of the magic technique, the Spiritual Qi in the cave suddenly beca turbulent, forming a giant vortex.
At the center of the vortex, specks of Spiritual Light gathered, gradually outlining the contours of a human shape.
This process of condensation was rather difficult, and even with Xu Ping’s cultivation, he could not help but show signs of exhaustion.
A full quarter of an hour passed, and his Mana was more than half depleted when the Wood Spirit Avatar finally took its complete form.
"Not bad. In the current state of the Wood Spirit Avatar, if a Nascent Soul True Monarch doesn’t carefully examine it, it’s hard to distinguish its authenticity."
Xu Ping looked at the Wood Spirit Avatar that was almost indistinguishable from the real thing, and a satisfied smile could not help but appear at the corner of his mouth.
At present, the Wood Spirit Avatar’s strength was still insufficient, only able to handle so simple chores.
But once the Wood Spirit Avatar advanced to the major achievent level, it would possess at least seventy percent of his own strength.
At that ti, this Wood Spirit Avatar would truly beco helpful.
With this anticipation, Xu Ping summoned the proficiency panel to check the progress:
[Wood Spirit Avatar Minor Achievent: 648/800]
...
"Only a little over a hundred proficiency points remaining; it shouldn’t take long to breakthrough."
A flicker of anticipation crossed Xu Ping’s eyes.
Actually, this Wood Spirit Avatar is not only useful at the Golden Core level but even more so at the Nascent Soul level.
After all, the Wood Spirit Avatar is almost equivalent to a Nascent Soul cultivator’s second soul.
Divine techniques of this caliber require at least Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators to dabble in.
Xu Ping instructed the Wood Spirit Avatar to soak in the Spiritual Spring’s Eye to maintain its consumption, and then planted dry wood beside the Spiritual Spring’s Eye.
This busy endeavor continued until late at night.
Although many plans for the array formations were yet to be completed, Xu Ping did not rush, preferring to perfect them gradually in the future.
...
...
In the following days, the news of Xu Ping joining the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons spread throughout the entire sect like the wind.
Disciples from various peaks were abuzz with discussion, filled with curiosity and awe toward this aspiring Fourth Rank Body Refining cultivator who could withstand two strikes from Wan Chun Ancestor without a scratch.
After all, being recognized by Ancestor Blue Ling was a testant to extraordinary strength.
However, this special treatnt also sparked discontent and jealousy among so seasoned Golden Core elders.
Especially when they learned Ancestor Blue Ling allowed this outsider to exchange for the Mysterious Soul Demon Core, their dissatisfaction reached a peak.
The Mysterious Soul Demon Core is considered the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons’ treasured asset and is fundantal to their ability to continuously cultivate Fourth Rank Demon Monarchs.
Even those Golden Core elders who had served the Valley for years coveted it imnsely.
For cultivators as powerful as them, yet lacking top-tier talent, the crucial resources for Nascent Soul formation in the current Valley of Ten Thousand Demons are a distant dream.
Therefore, the Fourth Rank transforming Mysterious Soul Demon Core beca their greatest hope.
If granted the Mysterious Soul Demon Core to aid their Spirit Pet in successfully transforming into the Fourth Rank shape, their status and position would undoubtedly rise significantly.
More importantly, a Fourth Rank transford Spirit Pet could reward its master, providing them with more opportunities for Nascent Soul formation.
Several Nascent Soul cultivators from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons have successfully advanced through this thod.
Now, a newcor suddenly intervened and obtained the privilege to exchange for their long-desired item, naturally stirring strong resentnt and apprehension among so.
After all, Elder Yan, being incredibly formidable, undoubtedly diminished their hopes of acquiring the Mysterious Soul Demon Core considerably.
Celestial Profound Peak.
This peak was the residence of Cloud Sun Fla, the influential elder of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
The main hall of Celestial Profound Peak was suffocatingly oppressive.
