Several months later, at the foot of Yunxia Mountain, a vast area had been cultivated into spirit fields, where various Spiritual Herbs were planted.

These Spiritual Herbs only required a decade or even just a few years to grow, and they were used for the simplified version of the Essence Core Pill refinement.

Furthermore, on the mid-slope of Yunxia Mountain, the quality of the spirit fields was slightly better. They were also filled with a substantial amount of nine-leaf golden thread grass, the primary auxiliary herb for refining the genuine Essence Core Pill.

In the future, as the strength of some of the villagers improved, the simplified Essence Core Pill would undoubtedly no longer meet their needs, and they would require a large quantity of the genuine Essence Core Pill.

The nine-leaf golden thread grass took several decades to mature, and some other auxiliary herbs required more than ten years. All of this needed to be planted in advance.

As Sloppy Old Daoist and his companions continued to move to more Spirit Veins in the future, there would be more spirit fields here, and their quality would also improve. This would allow for the cultivation of a significant quantity of Spiritual Herbs to supply a large number of disciples.

In the future, as the number of his disciples increased, and their realms advanced, his space would gradually become insufficient to support too many high-tier cultivators simultaneously. Although he had not been affected by this issue yet, he had to make long-term preparations.

In the future, perhaps only his core disciples would receive his resource support, and the rest would have to rely on their own efforts.

This time, when he returned, aside from bringing back the Spirit Vein, he also brought back a heap of other materials. He handed some refining tool materials to Chen Xiaofeng, asking him to refine them into Magic weapons.

Chen Xiaofeng had already formed his Golden Core two years ago, and with two more years of effort, he could now refine Magic weapons.

After dealing with these miscellaneous matters, he began his seclusion cultivation. Since reaching the Golden Core Stage, he had been busy with various matters and hadn't had a chance to focus on his cultivation.

His primary cultivation technique at the moment was the "Wood Fire Incineration Technique," a Wood-Fire Dual Attribute Cultivation Technique. This was also the reason he intended to refine the Wood-Fire Dual Attribute Lifebound Magical Treasure.

This cultivation technique, upon reaching the Golden Core Stage, contained a wood-fire escape technique, allowing him to hide within flames or trees.

It was a life-saving cultivation technique. If he had known it earlier, he could have directly hidden within a big tree during his encounter with the ants, then used his secret techniques, and he wouldn't have been bitten for so long.

Additionally, there was another secret technique that relied on the Spirit Fire he cultivated as a foundation. He could compress the power of the Spirit Fire into the size of a fingertip and store it within his body.

When used against enemies, he could release it, causing the flame to explode. According to the descriptions in the cultivation technique, it seemed quite formidable.

He planned to devote this time to diligently practice these two secret techniques.

Furthermore, he needed to make progress with his Body Refining Technique, the "Body Strengthening Invincible Golden Body Technique." His ability to disguise himself as a Demonic Beast and confront the Demon Clan relied on this cultivation technique.

Whether it was changing his physical appearance or using his physical strength to battle against the Demon Clan, it all stemmed from this cultivation technique.

The "Body Strengthening Invincible Golden Body Technique" had a total of five levels, and he had already reached the third level, "Tendon Refinement."

Now, he could enter the fourth level, "Bone Refinement." Once he completed this level, his bones would become significantly stronger, and he could even manipulate their shape when using his cultivation technique.

Before he could begin his cultivation, there were some matters he needed to attend to in his spatial realm.

Inside his spatial realm, the Fusang Wood had been growing for over a thousand years, reaching the height of a person. His intention was to cut some branches from it for propagation.

He had plans to use Fusang Wood to refine sixty-four Flying Swords. For this purpose, he needed an ample supply of Fusang Divine Wood. A crucial item like the Lifebound Magical Treasure required perfection.

Similar to the Greenish Little Tree, Fusang Wood was naturally imbued with runes and possessed unique properties.

The runes on the Greenish Little Tree were likely related to defense, while Wang Hong speculated that the runes on Fusang Wood were associated with fire or similar attributes.

Although the defensive capabilities of Fusang Wood weren't as extraordinary as those of the Greenish Little Tree, it had a potent feature. When under attack, the runes on Fusang Wood would release fireballs to counter the assailants, and these fireballs were incredibly powerful.

From a distance, Wang Hong manipulated his Frosty Light Blade and cleaved a thick branch from the Fusang Wood.

Simultaneously, numerous fireballs shot out from Fusang Wood, some of which landed on the Frosty Light Blade. Surprisingly, the Frosty Light Blade began to exhibit signs of melting.

He then divided the branch into several pieces and planted them within his spatial realm.

Now, within his spatial realm, there were three exceptional Spiritual Objects that caught his attention.

First was the newly planted Fusang Wood, an ancient divine tree that had transitioned from the divine to the mortal realm. It was a vibrant green little tree.

Second was the seed he had obtained from the Taihao Sect, which had now grown into a vine. This vine occupied three acres of land on its own, yet it had not borne any fruit, leaving Wang Hong curious about its future growth.

Once he had successfully planted the Fusang Wood, he focused on his cultivation.

It took him two years to master the Wood-Fire Escape Technique, allowing him to move freely within trees and flames.

Then, after several months, he extracted the power of his Spirit Fire, compressing it into small fireballs stored within his body. These fireballs could be refined into multiple copies, and he proceeded to refine two more, preparing for future use.

With these accomplishments, he briefly left seclusion and toured Yunxia Mountain, ensuring everything was in order before returning to seclusion.

This time, he remained in seclusion for thirty years, and his cultivation level finally advanced to the mid-Golden Core Stage.

Within his spatial realm, the Fusang Wood had grown for over ten thousand years during these thirty years.

The Fusang Wood he had originally planted had now grown to over thirty feet in height, making it suitable for refining the Lifebound Magical Treasure.

Although allowing the Fusang Divine Wood to continue growing would make it more potent, these ancient Divine Woods were said to grow for millions of years without issue. He couldn't afford to wait that long, nor could he fell a Fusang Wood that had grown for millions of years.

As the age of the Fusang Wood increased, the power of the flames it emitted would also become increasingly formidable.

Even with a Fusang Wood that had only grown for ten thousand years, cutting it down was already a challenging task.

Fortunately, he had accumulated some experience. First, he selected a Fusang Wood and removed all the surrounding Spirit Qi, creating a vacuum in Spirit Qi to prevent the Fusang Wood from absorbing more.

Then, he stood at a distance and used low-tier Spiritual Weapons and Talismans to attack the Fusang Wood. Although the Fusang Wood was a Divine Wood, it lacked sentience.

Upon being attacked, it would retaliate with powerful flames. Even though it was only a Spiritual Weapon, it couldn't inflict significant damage on the Fusang Wood.

With each fiery counterattack, a Spiritual Weapon would be reduced to nothingness.

After expending countless Talismans and Spiritual Weapons, he finally depleted the Spirit Qi around the tree, causing its fiery counterattacks to weaken.

It was at this point that Wang Hong manipulated his Frosty Light Blade to fell the Fusang Wood.

Although the Fusang Wood lacked the defensive runes of the Greenish Little Tree, it was exceptionally resilient. Each strike from the Frosty Light Blade only cut a fraction of an inch into the wood.

It was important to note that his Frosty Light Blade was a Magic weapon and not a rusty chopping tool.

After two days of continuous hacking, he had to take several breaks due to exhaustion, but eventually, he managed to bring down the Fusang Wood.
