Wang Daochang smiled and said, "What Daoyuan said makes sense. Aunt Jiu, you've been managing the Guardian Hall all these years and have dealt with various industries.
You've also helped me and Twelfth Uncle deal with a lot of affairs. Your ability to deal with affairs is not weak.
Only you and Eighth Uncle have enough prestige. Eighth Uncle is a bit impatient and isn't suitable to be the Grand Elder.
The others don't have enough prestige and won't be able to convince the masses. It's better for you to be the Grand Elder. "
The other Elders also expressed their approval. Aunt Jiu was steady and had experience in managing affairs. She was indeed a suitable candidate to be the Grand Elder.
Wang Daochang continued, "Aunt Jiu, all the Elders support you. You take on this heavy responsibility.
If there's something you can't solve, just leave it to me. "
Aunt Jiu nodded and said, "Since all the Elders support me, then I'll be the Grand Elder.
I'll abdicate when there's a more suitable candidate in the future. "
Wang Daoyuan got up and said, "Since the Patriarch and Grand Elder have been appointed, I have nothing to do here.
The third rank demonic beasts have been active in the Fallen Dragon Ridge recently. I'll go there and see if I can get a few more furnaces of Foundation Establishment Pills. "
After saying that, he left the Jadespring Peak on his sword and headed to the Fallen Dragon Ridge.
He wasn't in a hurry to cultivate. Without the Violet Harmony Pill, an ordinary Violet Palace Realm cultivator would need 70 to 80 years to reach the mid-stage from the early-stage Violet Palace Realm.
If they encountered a bottleneck, it was common for them to not be able to break through in a hundred years.
Even those with better talent would need about 50 years.
Even if there were enough Violet Harmony Pills, it would still take 30 years.
Before there were enough Violet Harmony Pills, cultivating in seclusion wouldn't have any obvious effect.
For Wang Daoyuan, the best way to increase his cultivation speed was to find the Five Elemental Spiritual Fires and use them to form spiritual power seeds.
Back then, Five Elements Daoist refined the Dust Returner Flame into a spiritual power seed and cultivated from the early-stage Golden Core Realm to the peak Golden Core Realm in less than 200 years.
If he could find the Five Elemental Spiritual Fires, cultivating from the early-stage Violet Palace Realm to the peak Violet Palace Realm would be a piece of cake.
Unfortunately, he couldn't find any other elemental Spiritual Fires after obtaining the Gui Water Netherflame.
There wasn't even a rumor about the Metal Elemental Spiritual Fire.
There was a lot of information about Fire Attribute Spiritual Fire, and even the location of these Spiritual Fire could be determined. However, Wang Daoyuan did not have the ability to take these Spiritual Fire.
Because the owners of these spiritual flames were all top experts in Beiyuan Xiuxian.
Most of them were at the pinnacle of the Golden Core Realm, and some were even half a step into the Yuanying Realm.
Half-step Yuanying meant that one had grasped the abilities of Yuanying cultivators. They should have been able to form Yuanying, but they were limited by the concentration of spiritual energy and spiritual items in Beiyuan Xiuxian, so they were stuck at the last step.
In terms of strength, they were much stronger than those at the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm, but they had not reached the point of qualitative change.
If the outside world allowed it, they would soon become true Yuanying cultivators.
The top forces in Beiyuan Xiuxian all had half-step Yuanying cultivators.
With Wang Daoyuan's current strength, he did not even dare to think about the spiritual fire in these people's hands.
He also did not dare to ask anyone to find out about the spiritual fire, or he would easily expose the secret of his cultivation technique.
He could only ask Zhou Luan to find out where the ancient cultivators who played with fire had left behind cave abodes or tombs. There might be some hope.
The most important thing now was to improve his alchemy skills and refine the Purple Rhyme Elixir and the Demon-Subduing Gourd.
The east of Fallen Dragon Ridge was not far from the territory of some Rank 3 demon beasts. It was inevitable that some of them would come looking for trouble.
With his strength, killing low-grade or mid-grade Rank 3 demon beasts was not a big problem.
However, it would cause a big commotion and attract other Rank 3 demon beasts.
With the Demon-Subduing Gourd, he could quickly subdue the demon beasts.
The demon beasts subdued by the gourd were captured alive. Their bodies, demon cores, and souls were all intact and could definitely be sold for a good price.
He was only a low-grade Rank 3 blacksmith now, so he could only refine a low-grade Rank 3 Demon-Subduing Gourd.
The Xuanyuan Gourds in his dimension were only high-grade Rank 2.
To refine a low-grade Rank 3 Demon-Subduing Gourd, he had to use Rank 3 materials.
Wang Daoyuan intended to consume some Heaven Ferocious Metal to refine into the gourd to strengthen it.
Otherwise, it would be easily destroyed after subduing a Rank 3 demon beast.
The malevolent aura of the Heaven Ferocious Metal had a certain deterrent effect on souls. When the Demon-Subduing Gourd attacked the souls of demon beasts, it could also play a supporting role.
The Heaven Ferocious Metal and Grand Unity Essence Gold that Wang Daoyuan put away were both middle-grade Rank 3.
If the Xuanyuan Gourd could grow to low-grade Rank 3, he might be able to refine a middle-grade Rank 3 Demon-Subduing Gourd by fusing those two materials.
There was no need to consider the tool pattern. A Rank 3 blacksmith could use a Rank 2 tool pattern to produce a Rank 3 tool pattern with the same function.
He had refined a Rank 2 Demon-Subduing Gourd before, so it was naturally not difficult for him to refine a Rank 3 one.
It only took him a month to study the tool pattern and refine the gourd.
After the Demon-Subduing Gourd was refined, Wang Daoyuan left Fallen Dragon Ridge with it.
He used the Spirit Concealment Technique to hide his aura and headed towards the southeast.
At the easternmost end of Fallen Dragon Ridge, more than 500 kilometers to the east.
There was no Spirit Vein here, but the concentration of spirit qi was comparable to an upper-grade Rank 2 Spirit Vein.
Every 100 to 200 kilometers, he would encounter a Rank 3 Spirit Vein.
A Rank 3 Spirit Vein here would definitely have a Rank 3 demon beast.
Wang Daoyuan released the Soul Chasing Bees to find a suitable target.
Currently, the Soul Chasing Bee King was already a middle-grade Rank 2 Spirit Insect. Ordinary Soul Chasing Bees had also become low-grade Rank 2 Spirit Insects.
Even so, the honey and even the royal jelly of the Soul Chasing Bees were no longer useful to Wang Daoyuan.
They would not be of much use to help him in battle.
However, ordinary Soul Chasing Bees could fly at a speed of 4,000 kilometers per hour, which was faster than Wang Daoyuan's Sword Kinesis Flight. They were still very valuable to scout the way.
After releasing 100 Soul Chasing Bees to scout the surroundings, most of them returned after 15 minutes.
It was normal to lose a few Soul Chasing Bees in a place where Rank 3 demon beasts roamed.
The Soul Chasing Bees found a total of seven low-grade Rank 3 demon beasts within a radius of 500 kilometers.
The closest one was the Profound Armored Golden-Toothed Crocodile more than 100 kilometers to the southeast.
This fellow was a dual-attribute demon beast of metal and water. Its physical body was extremely strong, and ordinary mid-stage Violet Palace Realm cultivators would find it difficult to break through its defense.
However, its soul was relatively weak among those of the same level. The Demon Subduing Gourd relied on attacking the soul to subdue demon beasts.
It was very suitable to deal with the Profound Armored Golden-Toothed Crocodile.
After trekking more than 100 kilometers to the southeast, there was a small lake with a diameter of more than 300 meters. The Profound Armored Golden-Toothed Crocodile was sunbathing on the shore of the lake.
This fellow was almost 200 meters long, and there were 50 to 60 silver teeth of different lengths in its mouth. The scales on its body were pitch-black.
Among these teeth, there were more than ten that could be used to refine flying swords.
This set of scales was enough to refine more than 20 sets of defensive soft armor.
A Rank 3 Magic Artifact was worth at least 20,000 Spirit Stones.
After killing this fellow, he would get 600,000 to 700,000 Spirit Stones.
It had to be said that if one had the ability to enter the Heavenslash Mountain Range to kill demon beasts, they would really earn Spirit Stones.
There were many Rank 3 demon beasts around, and one might be beaten up by a group. This was exchanging one's life for Spirit Stones.
Wang Daoyuan concealed his aura and stealthily crept over.
When he was half a kilometer away, Wang Daoyuan used the Misty Cloud Escape and flew through the air.
In an instant, he arrived in front of the Profound Armored Golden-Toothed Crocodile and activated the Demon Subduing Gourd.
This fellow's physical strength was too strong. Even if its soul was suppressed, it still had a strong resistance by relying on its physical strength.
The Demon Subduing Gourd didn't have enough stamina and couldn't forcefully store it.
Continuing the stalemate wasn't a solution. The White Tiger Blade would cause too much of a commotion, and he wouldn't be able to kill it if he couldn't hit its vitals. He could only use the Soul Extinguishing Bell.
The bell rang, and the Profound Armored Golden-Toothed Crocodile was stunned for a moment before it was sucked into the gourd.
Demon beasts had extremely sharp hearing, and the sound of the Soul Extinguishing Bell might have alerted the surrounding demon beasts.
To be safe, it was better to run first.
