As Tang Ao soaked in the golden spring water, there was a bit of anxiousness in his heart. The Emperor Bird paced back and forth outside, and he was trapped within the cave. His survival was threatened.
The current Tang Ao could only use the little snakes in the cave to pass his days. He ate snake meat and drank spring water. Not only did he not have any new tastes, the number of little snakes in the cave was continuously decreasing.
"If I can reach the Spirit Sea Realm, I can consume the natural Spirit Qi for my own use. I can reach the state of not needing to eat and not needing to eat. Then the troubles I have right now wouldn't be troubles anymore."
There were seven big realms for martial artists: Body Forging, Origin, Spirit Sea, Life and Death, Polaris, Yin Yang, and Celestial. When one reached the Spirit Sea Realm, they could consume the natural Spirit Qi for their own use. Even if they didn't eat, they wouldn't starve to death, and they didn't need to worry about daily necessities.
"It is impossible to fight the Emperor Bird head on. The Emperor Bird is not like the heavily injured Illusionary Sound Python. It is a Monstrous Beast in the Origin realm. I can even fight against experts in the 7th or even the 8th level of the Body Refinement realm, but when facing a Monstrous Beast in the Origin realm, I don't even have the ability to fight." Tang Ao sighed a bit dejectedly.
The Origin realm Emperor Bird was comparable to a martial master in the Origin realm. It had the same strength as the 6th and 7th elders in the school. Tang Ao imagined the scene of fighting against the 6th and 7th elders and he couldn't help but shiver. They were Origin realm Monstrous Beasts at their peak. If he brainlessly fought against them head on, he would die.
"I can't go out, so I can only continue cultivating here." Tang Ao helplessly sighed. Shortly after, he calmed his heart and peacefully cultivated.
Under the nourishment of the spring water, the advancement of Tang Ao's body was extremely quick. However, compared to the speed before, it was still a bit slow. After all, Tang Ao cultivated to the 4th level of the Body Refining realm and his body became even stronger than before. The medicinal effect of the spring water weakened quite a bit.
During that time, Tang Ao extended his hand towards the wall of the cave and clenched his fingers. A 600 year old Dawn Ploughing Ginseng was sucked into Tang Ao's hand and swallowed. After refining it, Tang Ao's cultivation stabilized at the peak of the 4th level of the Body Refining realm. He was only half a step away from the 5th level of the Body Refining realm.
After consuming the Dawn Ploughing Ginseng, the huge medicinal effect not only stabilized Tang Ao's cultivation level, but it also raised Tang Ao's cultivation level to the peak of the 4th level of the Body Refining Realm. Tang Ao continued to cultivate and consumed a 700 year old Morning Ploughing Ginseng.
The Morning Ploughing Ginseng was different from the previous medicinal ingredients. This Morning Ploughing Ginseng had the effect of removing the body's impurities and treating the body's hidden injuries. After Tang Ao consumed it, he only felt a huge medicinal effect wash over his entire body. Very quickly, a faint black liquid flowed out of his body. This black liquid was the impurities in Tang Ao's body, as well as some hidden injuries within his five viscera and six bowels.
The Morning Ploughing Ginseng had the ability to refine Stellar Energy. After Tang Ao consumed it, the huge medicinal effect of the Morning Ploughing Ginseng not only refined Tang Ao's qi and blood to become even purer, it also caused Tang Ao's Stellar Energy to become even purer. If it was a 100 year old Morning Ploughing Ginseng, it would only have the effect of stabilizing his cultivation level. However, a 600 year old Morning Ploughing Ginseng could instantly refine Tang Ao's qi and blood to the peak of the 4th level of the Body Refining Realm.
During the half a month of cultivation in the cave abode, Tang Ao had absorbed a large amount of energy from the 1,000-year Grandview Rattan and the golden spring. There were many impurities in his body, and some of the hidden injuries in Tang Ao's body had also been cured by the golden spring water. Therefore, the Morning Ploughing Ginseng's effect was even more unique. It could remove the impurities in the body. After consuming the Morning Ploughing Ginseng for one or two days, Tang Ao's body continuously removed impurities several times. Tang Ao only felt that his qi and blood had become purer, and he did not need to worry about the instability of his cultivation level after having just broken through.
Tang Ao's somewhat uneasy heart gradually calmed down. At this moment, although he was facing a food crisis and was facing the obstruction of the Phoenix Emperor Bird, Tang Ao was not worried. He believed that the Phoenix Emperor Bird would be unable to wait any longer and leave one day.
However, what Tang Ao did not know was that while Tang Ao was cultivating in seclusion, a small hunting team was advancing towards the cave where Tang Ao was located …
…
East Domain, Seven Kills Sect.
On the training grounds of the Seven Kills Sect, over a thousand outer sect disciples were cultivating in an orderly manner. Over a thousand disciples sat cross-legged on the training grounds, breathing in and out rhythmically. From time to time, there would be a faint mist lingering above the training grounds.
Zhao Xue opened her eyes and looked around, trying to find that bastard's figure in the crowd. However, no matter how hard she tried, she still could not find Tang Ao's figure.
"It's already been half a month. Half a month. I haven't seen that perverted thief …" Zhao Xue sighed as she recalled the scene where she met Tang Ao.
She had met Tang Ao because of a misunderstanding. At that time, Zhao Xue had been bathing in the dormitory when Tang Ao suddenly appeared, giving Zhao Xue a fright. At that time, Zhao Xue had cursed the perverted thief, causing an uproar in the entire sect.
After that, Zhao Xue experienced a few twists and turns. She wanted to teach Tang Ao a ruthless lesson, but she was thwarted every time. Tang Ao's strength was unfathomable. That playful and angry face hid an undetectable mystery in his heart.
"I wonder how that perverted thief is doing now. With his strength, he should be living like a fish in water." Zhao Xue sighed again as she recalled how Tang Ao had shown mercy to her and teased her during the Outer Sect Elimination Competition.
Zhao Xue's eyes suddenly narrowed. She noticed that Jiang Qingyi was also looking around for Tang Ao's figure. It seemed like she was unable to find Tang Ao just like Zhao Xue. Jiang Qingyi sighed as well. At this moment, the two women's gazes suddenly met, and they saw confusion in each other's eyes.
"That damned bastard. Not only did he tease me, he even teased Jiang Qingyi, that bitch." Zhao Xue angrily retracted her gaze. She recalled how Tang Ao provoked Jiang Qingyi with words during the Outer Sect Challenge Competition, and at the same time, he looked for Jiang Qingyi's flaws. Thinking of that despicable face, Zhao Xue suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hmph, what's so funny? Didn't you still fall for that perverted thief's tricks?" Jiang Qingyi glared at Zhao Xue in the crowd, then retracted her gaze and continued to cultivate.
However, Jiang Qingyi found that the more she wanted to calm down, the more restless she felt. Her entire mind was filled with Tang Ao's despicable face. Jiang Qingyi clenched her teeth, and the hatred in her heart for Tang Ao increased by thirty percent.
"Where did Tang Ao, who is ranked second in the Outer Sect, go?"
"Yeah, I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Ever since he defeated Gu Yue in the Outer Sect Challenge Competition, I haven't seen that Senior Brother Tang Ao again."
Fifth Elder Lin Jiang frowned and angrily said, "Silence!"
