After returning to Yunxia Mountain from Liu Changsheng's place, Wang Hong found Sloppy Old Daoist already in the midst of arranging a formation. It would likely take another ten days to two weeks to complete it entirely.

In the newly cultivated spirit fields, under Hu Jian's supervision, a group of miscellaneous cultivators were tending to Mortal Planting Spiritual Herbs and Spirit Grains.

The spirit ore within the mine was continuously producing, and Wang Hong's subordinates were refining it into high-quality materials for refining tools. Once they had accumulated enough, they would be used to craft Spiritual Weapons for the newly recruited Foundation Building disciples.

After organizing some items in his cave mansion, Wang Hong left Yunxia Mountain. His first destination was the Red-Haired Demon Bull's territory, which Liu Changsheng had marked for him.

Transforming into the appearance of a green-skinned Demonic Beast, he set out with Little Peng, both taking on the identity of Demonic Beasts to visit their neighbors.

They had previously killed a Demonic Beast on Yunxia Mountain, and news of it had been suppressed. Internal conflicts and power struggles within the Yao Clan were commonplace and didn't draw much attention. However, if a group of Human Clan members were to kill a Demonic Beast and occupy a Spirit Vein, it would undoubtedly send shockwaves through the Yao Clan, possibly leading to endless retaliation.

Currently, there were many Human Clan members on Yunxia Mountain, but this wasn't surprising. Many Demonic Beasts enslaved humans to work for them. As for exterminating all the Demonic Beasts in the vicinity, Wang Hong believed that with more effort, it was achievable. However, doing so would expose him completely.

They quickly arrived at the Red-Haired Demon Bull's territory.

"Could you please inform them that neighbors from Yunxia Mountain have come to visit?" Wang Hong said to a somewhat silly-looking Demonic Beast with the body of a bull.

"Wait a moment!" The bull-headed Demonic Beast replied in a gruff voice and walked inside.

Soon, a three-zhang-long (approximately nine meters) monster bull came out. Upon seeing Little Peng and Wang Hong, it visibly hesitated. It had encountered Demonic Beasts from Yunxia Mountain before, and these two were clearly not among them.

"Haha! Fellow Daoists, you've come from afar, and I apologize for not welcoming you earlier!" The bull bellowed heartily and approached them with great enthusiasm.

This particular Demonic Beast was accustomed to the conflicts among Yao Clan members and didn't care as long as it didn't affect itself. Moreover, the fact that they had defeated the Three Demonic Beasts and seized the Spirit Vein indicated their strength.

The bull warmly welcomed them, even arranging a feast where two three-tier Red-Haired Demon Bulls also attended. Wang Hong presented his prepared gifts, and after the banquet, they parted on friendly terms.

When Wang Hong left, the two bulls accompanied him for quite a distance.

After departing from the Red-Haired Demon Bull's territory, they visited the Silver Moon Demon Wolves.

The Silver Moon Demon Wolves were more arrogant and challenging towards them. They even sent out one of their own to spar with Little Peng. After two bouts, with one win and one loss for Little Peng, the attitude of the wolf demons softened somewhat.

Having made their presence known to both neighboring parties, Wang Hong returned to Yunxia Mountain and began closed-door cultivation in earnest. During this time, he used the materials mined from the cave and combined them with existing materials from his space to design two types of Spiritual Weapons.

Both of these Spiritual Weapons primarily used second-tier spirit wood as the main material, combined with Copper Essence Iron Mother, which was produced from the mine, to create a Flying Sword and a shield.

These two Spiritual Weapons served as prototypes, and Wang Hong handed them over to Xu Lun to arrange for refining tool masters to work on them. Once completed, they would be uniformly distributed among the over five hundred members of the Revival Battle Team.

Although these five hundred individuals had previously received Spiritual Weapons from Wang Hong in a trade, the variety of styles they possessed hindered effective coordination.

After delegating these matters, Wang Hong shifted his focus elsewhere. He was now a Golden Core Cultivator, but he possessed only one Magic weapon, the Frosty Light Blade, which he had obtained as spoils of war.

He lacked the essential Lifebound Magical Treasure that every Golden Core Cultivator should possess, and he had no leads on acquiring one.

Within his primary cultivation technique, the "Wood-Fire Incineration Technique," there was mention of a Lifebound Magical Treasure. It could be formed by combining a wooden attribute Magic weapon and a fire attribute Magic weapon, resulting in a Wood-Fire Dual Attribute Magic weapon. Alternatively, it could be directly refined using Wood-Fire Dual Attribute materials.

Furthermore, the "Heaven and Earth Sword Technique" he had acquired recently included a method for creating a Lifebound Magical Treasure. This Lifebound Magical Treasure was a sword, and it could range from a single blade to as many as sixty-four.

Suddenly, an idea crossed Wang Hong's mind. Could he combine the characteristics of these two types of Lifebound Magical Treasures? For instance, crafting a Wood-Fire Dual Attribute Flying Sword?

He pondered this idea for a moment and concluded that it might be feasible.

However, he currently only had materials in his Space that consisted of spiritual herbs and spirit wood, nothing else.

A Lifebound Magical Treasure, once successfully refined, would stay with its owner for life, nurtured within their dantian, becoming more powerful as time passed. Given its importance, Wang Hong didn't want to rush and hoped to use the best materials to create the most formidable Magic weapon.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered something and swiftly entered his Space.

He did have some top-quality materials in there.

The unidentified Greenish Little Tree in his Space had grown to over a zhang (approximately three meters) in height after these years. It was a slow-growing tree, highly resistant to damage, and covered with natural Runes.

Wang Hong approached the tree, carefully inspecting it for a while before shaking his head in disappointment. This tree was solely of the wood attribute and lacked the fire attribute necessary for the combination he envisioned.

With a sigh, he temporarily abandoned the idea of using this tree to create a Magic weapon. Since he couldn't currently refine a Lifebound Magical Treasure, he decided to set it aside and look for suitable materials in due time.

As for the "Heaven and Earth Sword Technique," he was eager to practice it thoroughly, considering the formidable combat power he had witnessed. He was also envious of the shield-like Sword Qi technique within the art.

After consuming a Green Spirit Peach, he immersed himself in studying this sword technique.

Since reaching the Golden Core stage, the Green Spirit Peach's assistance in raising his cultivation level had diminished significantly, but it was still better than nothing.

In the Golden Core stage, cultivating each tier required accumulating a substantial amount of Spirit Qi through natural absorption, which took a long time. Furthermore, despite having Pill Recipes suitable for the Golden Core stage, he lacked the corresponding Spiritual Herbs.

For a Golden Core Cultivator, it was common to rely mainly on meditation to absorb Spirit Qi, as pill supplements were scarce. Wang Hong's current cultivation involved meditation to absorb Spirit Qi and occasionally consuming third-tier spirit fruits as supplements.

In his Space, he had several varieties of third-tier spirit fruits, including Dragon Scale Fruit, Jade Ginseng Fruit, and Ink Jade Spirit Lotus, which had become his daily snacks.
