After subduing the Howling Moon Silver Wolf Tribe, Yu Qingtan "visited" their treasury, which was full of treasures. The Howling Moon Demon King "offered" up half of them, because Yu Qingtan had killed off a third of the tribe's population, and so they needed fewer resources.
In addition, the treasury contained many items from the Human Race, such as storage equipnt. From the information Yu Qingtan had obtained using Tian Xiang's Illusion Technique, she knew that the Howling Moon Silver Wolf Tribe had killed and eaten many humans. Moreover, although the tribe didn't breed humans themselves, other Demon Race groups had supplied them with human flesh as food.
Yu Qingtan wasn't bothered to dredge up these old grievances; as long as they didn't eat humans in the future, it was fine. She wasn't a savior. If she beca invincible in the future, she might take so action. However, this was a good excuse, and when the Howling Moon Demon King saw Yu Qingtan's face turn cold, he was heartbroken and changed the tribute from a third to a half.
The most valuable thing of the Howling Moon Silver Wolf was naturally the Inferior Dao Artifact, the Moon God Stone, on the forehead of the Howling Moon Demon King. The Moonshine Pool within the Dao Artifact's space had ford from long-term absorption of the moon's essence and had incredible effects, such as aiding the Demon Race in cultivation and healing injuries, and could even heal the damage to Xiaotao's inner core. It could also assist the Human Race in Body Refinent, and Yu Qingtan unapologetically made use of it.
Xiaotao was released by Yu Qingtan. After learning about the outco, he too was shocked beyond belief. Yu Qingtan said she would avenge him and so quickly, the Howling Moon Silver Wolf Tribe had had a third of its mbers slaughtered and the entire tribe had submitted to Yu Qingtan's feet.
"Thank you, Princess!" A multitude of feelings eventually condensed into a single utterance of gratitude. When the Howling Moon Silver Wolf Tribe saw Xiaotao again, their hearts were filled with mixed emotions, especially Yin Yue; even though she knew Xiaotao was a Half-Demon, she still liked him, but because of her own actions, things had turned out this way.
Yu Qingtan ignored all this and directly set up a small and concealed Fourth Stage Protective Array on Howling Moon Mountain, where she placed a house-type spatial equipnt she had bought. She took a large bucket of water from the Moonshine Pool and began practicing the Demon Blood Refinent Technique. Xiaotao went straight into the Dao Artifact's space to soak in the Moonshine Pool for healing.
With the activation of the Protective Array, Howling Moon Mountain beca a quiet and mysterious place. Once Yu Qingtan had settled everything, she beca absorbed in her cultivation. She held a Fourth Stage Wasteland Crystal in her hand, sat ditatively in a bathtub, and the Moonshine Pool water, augnted with Five-Star Ascension Fruit blood, shimred with a pale red silvery radiance.
Cultivating the Demon Blood Refinent Technique was not easy, requiring one to endure great pain and tornt. Yet Yu Qingtan seed unfazed, keeping her eyes tightly shut, and was singularly focused on guiding the power of the moon's essence from the water of the Moonshine Pool into her body.
As ti passed, subtle changes began to manifest in Yu Qingtan's body. Her skin beca even more delicate and smooth, as if covered with a faint silvery glow. Her aura also grew deeper and more powerful, seemingly containing endless strength.
In the Moon God Stone Dao Artifact's space, Xiaotao was also imrsed in the Moonshine Pool's waters, feeling the gentle yet powerful force continuously healing his body. His inner core had been seriously damaged, but with the nourishnt of the Moonshine Pool, it began to slowly recover.
Over ti, Xiaotao's injuries gradually healed. He could feel his strength steadily returning, and his joy was indescribable. He knew that all this was made possible by Yu Qingtan.
More than a month later, Yu Qingtan ceased her cultivation. Her blood was like rcury, filled with strong vitality power, and she had reached the limits of the Body Refinent Golden Core Realm, or perhaps the Blood Refinent Realm, but the Moonshine Pool's water was insufficient to help her break through to the Body Refinent Nascent Soul Realm, or say, the Organ Refinent Realm.
Although the waters of the Moonshine Pool were mysterious, their effectiveness gradually diminished for an individual. Yu Qingtan ca out of seclusion, and two days later, Xiao Tao also finished his cultivation. Not only had Xiao Tao's injuries fully healed, but his cultivation level had also significantly improved, reaching the peak of the Third Stage mid-phase.
In the past two days, Yu Qingtan had crafted a new United Hearts Bracelet and gave it to him after Xiao Tao ca out of seclusion because Xiao Tao was preparing to continue his adventures in the Yunhua Mountain Range.
Having heard Xiao Tao's backstory for the first ti and learning that he was half of the Frost Wolf Tribe and that his mother had been taken captive, Xiao Tao probably wanted to save his mother. However, Yu Qingtan was currently unable to help him—she did not want to risk leaping around under the watchful eyes of several Fifth Stage Demon Venerables.
Yu Qingtan returned the Moon God Stone to the Howling Moon Demon King and instructed them to treat Xiao Tao as an honored guest. She asked to be updated once a month on the situation in the Yunhua Mountain Range they had gathered, after which she returned to the "seclusion" within the array. In fact, she used her innate divine skills to return to the Tanxian Elegant Courtyard of Wendao Sect.
During this ti, Yu Qingtan added over five hundred thousand to her Affection Value and had a deeper understanding of the Soul Dao. She used her last Origin Comprehension Card on the Origin of Soul Dao, thus mastering it.
At this mont, all fifteen Five-Star Ascension Fruits on the Five-Star Ascension Tree had ripened. Although they were only Fourth Stage spiritual fruits, they already bore a faint resemblance to Origin Fruits, having been watered with the Five Elents Spiritual Pulp refined from the essence of the Innate Five Elents.
If she continued to water them with the Five Elents Spiritual Pulp, they could grow into a Fifth Stage spiritual tree and form real Origin Fruits. However, Yu Qingtan could not wait that long, and the Fourth Stage Five Elents spiritual fruits were already sufficient for her purposes.
Yu Qingtan first approached her affordable master, Real Person Rou Jia, and gave her two Five-Star Ascension Fruits, causing her eyes to crinkle into slits with joy. With these two fruits, her chances of successfully forming a Nascent Soul, along with Real Person Yong Li, could increase by at least thirty percent.
The Five-Star Ascension Fruit did not differentiate between the tal Spirit Fruit, the Wood Spirit Fruit, and the like; rather, it was beneficial to those cultivating the Way of the Gold, Wood, and other Five Elents. Even those cultivating the Way of Thunder and Wind could benefit from it, albeit to a lesser degree.
Afterward, Yu Qingtan sought out Venerable Shenfeng and offered five Five Elents Ascension Fruits, rely stating they were a result of her own fortune and expressed her intention to go into seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. The Venerable and the Wendao Sect had given her shelter and many resources, so naturally, she wanted to give sothing back.
Venerable Shenfeng's eyes were piercing as he observed Yu Qingtan, a flicker of appreciation passing through them. He accepted the five Five Elents Ascension Fruits, which radiated a soft glow, and nodded lightly, saying, "Qingtan, your fortune truly is extraordinary, to have discovered the legendary Five-Star Ascension Tree. The talent of your Immortal-grade Spirit Root is also worthy of its peerless reputation; forming a Nascent Soul at eighteen, even among the prodigies of the Central Domain, you stand out as one of the best."
Yu Qingtan smiled faintly and said, "I am grateful for the Venerable's care. I must not conceal from the Venerable that the tribulation I will face when forming my Nascent Soul may be quite tumultuous. I hope that the Venerable can help
find a suitable place for the Tribulation Crossing and assist
as my protector."
As she spoke, Yu Qingtan displayed a burst of the Five Elents Extinction Divine Light containing the Origin of Water and the third level of the Gold, Wood, Fire, and Earth elents, demonstrating a hint of her power.
