After this small piece of Spiritual Herb was brought out of the Space, it emitted Spiritual Qi fluctuations, but they were much weaker than before.

These Spiritual Qi fluctuations were easily blocked by the Large Formation, causing Wang Hong to breathe a sigh of relief.

Now, he carefully examined the thin Fo-Ti Root in his hand. The cut Fo-Ti Root was also purple inside, with a faint halo shimmering on its surface.

He brought it to his lips, took a small bite, and it was crispy and refreshing. With a few light chews, it turned into liquid, leaving no residue.

As this small amount of liquid flowed into his abdomen, it quickly transformed into a massive surge of Spiritual Energy, rushing through his abdomen, causing intense pain.

He quickly focused his mind, guiding the refinement of this Spiritual Energy. It rushed into his meridians, still violently colliding with them.

After a long time, he let out a long breath, finally refining these Spiritual Energy.

Just a small bite of this piece contained such a vast amount of Spiritual Energy.

Fortunately, he was cautious and only took a small bite. If he had swallowed the whole piece directly, it would have been difficult to handle.

In just a moment, his cultivation level had risen slightly, reaching the Golden Core Stage. Advancing in cultivation at the Golden Core Stage had become slow and challenging, making significant progress quite difficult.

In the following days, he would cut a piece from the thousand-year Fo-Ti Root and consume it for refinement daily.

As for Refinement Pills, the thousand-year Spiritual Herb's quality was too high, and with his current Alchemy skills, he couldn't refine it into pills.

Moreover, he could add a small amount of thousand-year Spiritual Herb to the third-tier Refinement Pills to enhance their efficacy.

However, this would require him to spend time modifying the Pill Recipe, and the improvement in pill potency wouldn't be as rapid as direct consumption.

The drawback was that this approach had a significant impact on his body and meridians. Thankfully, his physical strength was not weaker than that of Demonic Beasts, so he could endure it.

After more than two months of continuous consumption, he had finished eating the entire thousand-year Fo-Ti Root.

His cultivation level had also reached the late Golden Core Stage.

Due to his solid Foundation Building foundation, his Golden Core was more than ten times larger than that of cultivators at the same tier, and his Spiritual Power naturally surpassed ordinary people.

Now, having advanced to the late Golden Core Stage, he felt a surging Spiritual Power all around him, capable of wielding tremendous power with a casual wave of his hand.

The most noticeable change was that he could simultaneously summon his two Lifebound Flying Swords, forming a Tai Chi Sword Formation that could last for at least two quarter-hours.

If he were to encounter an opponent like Qingxiao again, he was confident that his defense wouldn't be as challenging as it had been last time when facing a Nascent Soul-like attack.

The effects of consuming the entire thousand-year Spiritual Herb were not limited to this.

These Spiritual Energy infiltrated his body through small meridians, continuously improving his physical body.

Now, his "Body Strengthening Invincible Golden Body Technique" had reached the fourth level, the "Bone Refining Completion Realm."

Upon reaching this realm, his bones had turned golden, as if they were cast from pure gold.

Previously, his body refining technique made him resistant to blades and swords but less so to blunt weapons.

After reaching the fourth level of bone refinement, his bones became even harder, and his resistance to blunt force would continue to increase.

The improvement in his strength gave him a shred of confidence, and he stepped out of the Cultivation Room, deactivating the Nine Layers of the cave mansion's ten-layer Large Formation, leaving only one layer active.

During his two-month seclusion, the ancestral leader of the Qing Fox Clan emerged, causing a stir among many neighboring Demon Clans.

Surprisingly, the first thing the Qing Fox Clan's ancestral leader did upon emerging was to forcefully summon all Demon Clans within their influence and demand that all groups unite to conquer Yunxia Mountain.

This time, all the Demon Clans affiliated with the Qing Fox Clan obediently complied without any hesitation.

The Qing Fox Clan had only dozens of third-tier Qing Foxes in total, with thirty stationed in the Qingxu Mountains. However, during the recent battle in which Qingxiao fell, they lost nine of their third-tier Qing Foxes. This was undoubtedly a significant loss for the Qing Fox Clan.

Currently, the Qing Fox Clan's influence in East Zhou only had twenty-one third-tier Qing Foxes remaining. If not for the ancestral leader's return, they would have struggled to suppress neighboring Demon Clans.

This time, the plan was to mobilize all Demonic Beasts within their sphere of influence to besiege Yunxia Mountain together.

When tallying all the Demon Clans affiliated with the Qing Fox Clan, the total number of third-tier Demonic Beasts was close to a hundred.

However, mobilizing all these Demonic Beasts would take time.

Some of these Demonic Beasts were not particularly fast, which slowed down the overall progress.

It was worth noting that when Wang Hong and his group had journeyed from near Azure Void City to Yunxia Mountain with some Qi Cultivation stage members, it had taken them several months.

This time, Demon Clans were converging from various directions, which would take even longer.

The spies from the Immortal Way Trading Company in Azure Void City got wind of this news and quickly relayed it.

Liu Changsheng couldn't afford to delay and sent a message to Wang Hong. However, after a long wait, he received no response.

He had no choice but to find Xu Lun personally. Back when Xu Lun was in charge of the East Zhou Trading Company, they had often interacted, and their relationship was quite good.

Liu Changsheng informed Xu Lun about the Qing Fox Clan ancestral leader's return and their plan to attack Yunxia Mountain.

Upon hearing the news, Xu Lun first reported to Wang Hong. However, Wang Hong was in seclusion with the cave mansion's Large Formation fully activated, so his messages were trapped within it.

Helpless, Xu Lun decided to take matters into his own hands and would apologize to Wang Hong once he emerged from seclusion.

First, Xu Lun informed everyone at Yunxia Mountain about this news, preparing them mentally for what was to come.

Upon receiving the news, no one was too shocked. Ever since they had followed Wang Hong on this path, they knew that this day would eventually come.

Now that the Demon Clans were attacking again, they were not afraid. Even if they died in battle, it wouldn't matter!

They had experienced the gradual conquest of the East Zhou Cultivation Realm by Demon Clans, being hunted like dogs on multiple occasions.

They had also witnessed the fall of East Zhou, where Human Clans were enslaved or used as food by the Demon Clans.

After witnessing all of this, they all had a deep-seated resentment.

They were not content. As East Master often told them, Human Clans were the most exceptional race in the world, and only they were qualified to rule this world!

East Master also frequently said that the Demon Clans were nothing more than uncivilized beasts, savages who were only fit to be food for humans or slaves.

So, they were not content. They wanted to turn the Demon Clans into ingredients, into Spirit Beasts to be used by humans.

That was the right place for the Demon Clans!

Upon hearing this news, it actually ignited everyone's fighting spirit even more. Now, they were all working hard to strengthen themselves.

At the same time, Xu Lun took the initiative to bring out all the Spiritual Objects from the warehouse for everyone to exchange.

If anyone had insufficient contribution points, they could temporarily take credit, to be repaid after the battle.

If they died in battle, all debts would be cleared, and the merits gained in battle, as well as the compensation, would be handed over to their families and descendants.
