Ling Shuai converted all the contribution points he earned from this battle into Foundation Pills in one go.
However, he wasn't entirely satisfied and sought ways to earn more contribution points.
In Mountain Valley, there were various methods to earn contribution points, such as Alchemy, refining tools, Talisman Making, and more.
Participating in battles, military achievements, and collecting loot from Demonic Beasts outside the valley could also be exchanged for contribution points.
Lacking these skills, Ling Shuai could only apply to hunt Demonic Beasts outside the valley. In any case, he needed to acquire more Foundation Pills, which were crucial for a Foundation Building cultivator.
Back when Wang Hong received the Blue Beauty Grass from Elder Brother at Kaiyang Peak, he knew it could enhance his dantian sea.
By using the Blue Beauty Grass as the primary ingredient, one could refine potent Foundation Pills with even greater effects.
However, the recipe for these pills was hard to come by, and Wang Hong had only recently cultivated all the required Spiritual Herbs.
A few days ago, he had already refined a portion of these pills and stored them in the warehouse for his fellow cultivators to exchange.
After forming a Golden Core contract with Ling Shuai, Wang Hong left Mountain Valley and gave Liu Changsheng the materials for cultivating a Core, leaving them with some Foundation Pills as well.With the Core materials delivered, all that was left was to patiently await good news.
Wang Hong could easily guess that the two of them would definitely consume the Foundation Pills. However, after taking the pills, their dantian seas would expand, and they would need to cultivate their original Spiritual Power to fill them, which would take a considerable amount of time.
While waiting for Ling Shuai and Liu Changsheng to advance in their Foundation Building, Wang Hong extracted the essence and blood of Demonic Beasts he had acquired in previous battles, refining all the bloodline power within.
All this bloodline power was fed to the Poisonous bees queen within his Space, hoping to further enhance its abilities.
Due to the large number of Demonic Beasts killed during the recent battles, Wang Hong had obtained an abundance of essence blood from them through his caravan's acquisitions.
He had a substantial bottle of refined bloodline power, and for this purpose, he had specifically bred a new Bee Queen within his Space. Every day, he meticulously nurtured it with bloodline power and Spirit Bee Royal Jelly.
It took Poisonous bees queen a full century to consume all the bloodline power. After finishing its meal, it once again fell into a deep slumber.
This was the fourth time Poisonous bees queen had entered such a state of hibernation. Each time it awoke, it underwent significant changes due to absorbing the bloodlines of numerous Demonic Beasts.
This time, after sleeping for two years in the Space, the Poisonous bees queen's appearance had undergone a tremendous transformation. At a casual glance, one might not even recognize it as a Poisonous Bees.
The current Poisonous bees queen was about the size of a child's fist, and its body bore similarities to various Demonic Beasts.
Presumably, it had absorbed the characteristics of other Demonic Beasts due to consuming so much bloodline power. For example, it had grown a pair of sharp tusks, and even the Bee Queen, which had previously only consumed Royal Jelly, had now begun to eat meat.
Its long bee legs even had small claws that could puncture skin.
Currently, the Poisonous Bees' Realm had reached the mid-tier of the second stage and was steadily progressing upward.
In the end, Wang Hong had the new Poisonous bees queen take over the role of the old Bee Queen. When the old and new Bee Queens met, they engaged in a fierce battle, with the newly cultivated Poisonous bees queen emerging victorious, biting and consuming the old Bee Queen.After assuming the position of the Bee Queen, it began mating and laying eggs. Wang Hong noticed that although the Bee Queen had grown considerably larger, the size of the eggs it laid remained similar to the previous ones.
However, their physical appearance resembled that of the Bee Queen. Wang Hong tested it by offering a piece of meat, and to his surprise, these Poisonous Bees also consumed meat.
In the Space, these Poisonous Bees' eggs hatched in just one year.
The newly hatched Poisonous Bees had only slightly increased in size compared to the original ones.
To nurture these newly added Poisonous Bees, Wang Hong fed the group daily with the spiritual liquid he prepared from Spiritual Herbs.
After several decades in the Space, the strength of these Poisonous Bees had reached the limit of their bloodline.
Surprisingly, some of the Poisonous Bees had even reached the second-tier stage, although there were only a few. This showed promising signs for their development.
The rest of the Poisonous Bees had mostly reached the high-tier first stage, doubling the overall strength of the Poisonous Bees group.
One day, Wang Hong received a Transmission Talisman and left Mountain Valley. It turned out that Liu Changsheng was preparing to advance to the Core stage.
Their current base, like Wang Hong's Mountain Valley, was a hidden secret location.
If Liu Changsheng were to advance to the Core stage within the base, the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy generated during the process could potentially be detected by the Demon Clan, exposing their location.
Moreover, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in their current location was not sufficient. It would be better to find a place with higher Spiritual Qi density.
Wang Hong arrived at Liu Changsheng's base and found him.
"Have you found a suitable place for your Core advancement?" Wang Hong asked. They frequently scouted the area and should be familiar with the surroundings.
"Yes, we have found one. It's the old Chuyun Sect site, which hasn't been occupied by any third-tier Demonic Beasts since the recent battle," Liu Changsheng replied.
"No third-tier Demonic Beasts have claimed it yet, only a small group of second-tier Demonic Beasts currently reside there."
After some thought, Wang Hong found this idea suitable and said, "Let's go!"
Outside the base, Wang Hong released Little Peng. Both of them followed Little Peng along a path that had been scouted earlier.
When they arrived at the old Chuyun Sect site again, the small Demonic Beasts that used to play around there noticed them climbing the mountain and gathered around, making noise.
Little Peng unleashed its third-tier pressure, frightening these small Demonic Beasts into fleeing.
On the mountaintop of Chuyun Sect, they found a node of the Spirit Vein. Liu Changsheng dug a mountain cave at random and entered it.
When Liu Changsheng started his Core advancement, it would create significant disturbances that would attract many Demonic Beasts from the surrounding area to watch.
At this moment, a third-tier Black Tiger flew to the scene.
"Stop right there!" Little Peng shouted at the approaching Black Tiger.
"I don't know your name?" the Black Tiger stopped at a distance and inquired.
"I am called Little Peng. One of my companions is about to advance to the Core stage here, so please refrain from causing any disturbances," Little Peng replied.
This had been prearranged among them. Little Peng had already reached the third-tier, making it almost invulnerable to any challenges from the Demonic Beasts in the area.
Wang Hong and Liu Changsheng posed as Little Peng's companions, which was a common practice among the Demon Clan.
Upon hearing Little Peng's words, the Black Tiger had no intention of offending them and asked out of curiosity, "You've actually raised a Spirit Pet to the Golden Core stage?"
The Black Tiger knew that Daoist Master lineage Demons required a significant amount of resources to advance to the Golden Core stage, so very few Demons would do such a thing.
"Haha! It's nothing. It's just a Spirit Pet I happened to pick up a few days ago. It has its own pills and such," Little Peng replied with a laugh.
