After Lê Phong and the others left, Yan Yue went back to her busy life in the jungle.
But now, she had a goal to work hard for, and she was not alone in this strange world, so she was not like before, afraid of being alone.
Faith made her stronger, and the proud and unyielding soul hidden in the depths of her heart gradually revealed itself in this world.
Although the Tuantuan had a problem when they were born, and their fighting power was greatly reduced, it was not a problem for them to deal with small monsters of level two or three.
Therefore, Yan Yue gave the task of hunting monsters to the Tuantuan, and the Demon Nuclei they hunted were also given to the Tuantuan to absorb.
The Demon Nuclei were equivalent to the Neidan in a cultivator's body. Of course, Yan Yue was only in the Qi Refining Stage, and there was only a mass of spiritual energy in her body, which had not yet formed into a Neidan. Neidan would only appear in the cultivator's Dantian during the Jindan Period.
Monsters were born with Demon Nuclei, which was their advantage.
Humans had wisdom, like alchemy, talismans, and so on.
However, the lifespan of a human was very short. Demonic beasts had innate magical powers, strong physiques, and powerful spells. These were things that humans did not have. Demonic beasts had a long lifespan. They could live for thousands or tens of thousands of years without cultivating. They were a race that could not be underestimated. The undead bodies of the Ghost Race, the Netherworld Army, and their huge numbers were also daunting. The Buddha Race had the blessing of the heavens. They were the race that leveled up the most smoothly. Needless to say, their strength was naturally very strong.
The rules of this world were still very equal. Each race had their own strengths, and they restrained each other.
Yan Yue heard these from Lê Phong and the others. The Demon Nuclei stored the essence of the monster's cultivation, but only monsters could absorb the spiritual energy in the Demon Nuclei, and human cultivators could not.
The Demon Nuclei also had another function, which was to refine weapons. A good Demon Nuclei with good materials could make a very good magic weapon.
Of course, Yan Yue was not concerned about this. Although the Tuantuan had absorbed a lot of Demon Nuclei, their abilities had not improved at all. Moreover, where was this place?
It was the He Yi Mountain Range. In the entire Huanghai Mainland, excluding some Sect, Academy, and Ancient Ruins, the concentration of Spiritual Qi here was one of the highest. Moreover, the Spiritual Qi in the middle region was much denser than in other places in the middle region. Even if one did not deliberately cultivate, one's ability should be improved.
Perhaps the Tuantuan was already at level 7, but due to an error in its birth, its ability level had not changed.
Thinking of this, Yan Yue could not help but work even harder in her cultivation.
Lê Phong had said that there was a Spirit Pill called the Recovery Pill that could solve this problem.
Therefore, as long as the Tuantuan ate the Recovery Pill, it would regain its original level.
In this place where the Spiritual Qi was rich, Yan Yue's cultivation was much more efficient.
Every time her Spiritual Qi increased a little, she would look for a nearby Demon Beast to 'spar' with. All the Demon Beasts within a dozen Li were beaten up by her.
Although increasing one's level was very important, actual combat training was also essential. No matter how good one's theoretical knowledge was, it was useless if one did not put it into practice. As a human from the 21st century, Yan Yue deeply understood this point.
Moreover, she found that every time she used up her Spiritual Qi and then absorbed it again, the amount of Spiritual Qi stored in her body would increase. Although it was not much, it was good that little drops made an ocean.
Yan Yue used up her Spiritual Qi again and again, and then absorbed it again. At night, she cultivated, and during the day, she looked for Demon Beasts to train. Because of her cultivation, although Yan Yue could not achieve Inedia, it was not a problem for her to not eat for a few days.
Whether it was her level, her physique, or her actual combat experience, Yan Yue's usage and control of Spiritual Qi were all improved step by step through her efforts.
Her range of activity had also expanded from a dozen Li to a few dozen Li. Whether it was her speed or jumping, she was much more powerful than when she was a mortal.
In these days of constant vigilance and calmness, Yan Yue felt that her state of mind had been improved, and her Spiritual Qi had also become stronger.
She spent three days to reach the second level of Qi Refining, nine days to reach the third level of Qi Refining, twenty days to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining, fifty days to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, three months to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining, and half a year to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining.
This was also because the place she was in was rich in Spiritual Qi. If she was in other places, she would not be able to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining without five to seven years.
Moreover, Yan Yue started cultivating too late. In other cultivation worlds, children started cultivating when they were a few years old. Most people built their foundation between the age of twenty and thirty. If Yan Yue had not been lucky enough to fall into such a cultivation treasure land, she probably would not have been able to build her foundation in her thirties.
If she simply absorbed Spiritual Qi to break through her level, perhaps Yan Yue would have been a cultivator in the Foundation Building Stage by now.
However, Yan Yue knew that if the foundation was not solid, it would have a great impact on the future.
For cultivators, the Qi Refining Stage was just the beginning, and perhaps no one would pay much attention to it.
However, Yan Yue did not think so. She felt that the Qi Refining Stage was like the foundation of a house. If the foundation was not good, it was impossible to build a solid house.
Therefore, the simpler these things were, the more easily overlooked, the more Yan Yue dared not to pay attention to them.
Moreover, now that a year had passed, some Level Four and Level Five demonic beasts had gradually appeared here. Yan Yue knew that this place would not be safe for another year at most.
Yan Yue knew that with her ability, she could barely deal with simple Level Four demonic beasts. She could win by skill, but she could not defeat Level Four demonic beasts. Sure enough, she was still too weak.
If other cultivators knew what Yan Yue was thinking, they would definitely ridicule her crazily. Damn, the strength of a Level Four demonic beast was equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Foundation Building Stage. If she encountered a powerful Level Four demonic beast, she would definitely be comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of the Foundation Building Stage. Moreover, if she encountered a group of Level Four demonic beasts, even a cultivator in Jin Dan could only run away.
You, a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, can win against a Level Four demonic beast by skill, and you still think that you are weak here. If other cultivators in the Foundation Building Stage heard this, they might gang up on you.
If she encountered a Level Five Yan Yue, she could still escape, but if she encountered a Level Six demonic beast, she would not even be able to escape.
Those Level Four demonic beast cores that she had traded were all caught or picked up by her using traps. It had to be said that Yan Yue's luck was really good. The demonic beasts that she encountered were not very strong, and a large part of the reason why they fell into Yan Yue's hands was because they underestimated her.
The Level Five demonic beast cores were, of course, picked up by her after two demonic beasts killed each other.
She was afraid that it would be very difficult to encounter a cultivation holy land like the one she was in, so she especially cherished every minute here.
She did not want to waste any opportunity to improve her ability. She did not have much time left.
In the blink of an eye, nine months had passed.
Under unremitting efforts, Yan Yue finally broke through the threshold of Qi Refining Stage Seven, and reached Qi Refining Stage Eight.
In order to consolidate her newly promoted realm, Yan Yue looked for demonic beasts within a few dozen miles to practice. Some Level One and Level Two demonic beasts ran away when they saw Yan Yue. Although their intelligence was low, they still had a deep impression of this guy who always abused them.
Fortunately, in these few months, Level Three and Level Four demonic beasts kept appearing, otherwise, Yan Yue really would not have a target to practice with.
Yan Yue's current use of spiritual power could be said to have reached a vivid level. Sometimes, before her brain could think, her body had already reacted.
The various elements mutually reinforced and restrained each other. Yan Yue had a basic understanding of what kind of demonic beast to use and what method to use.
However, it was a little troublesome to deal with plant-based demonic beasts. She had to test them one by one to see which one was effective.
Moreover, people tended to be on guard against demonic beasts that could move and relaxed their vigilance against plant-based demonic beasts that could not move. Yan Yue also almost fell into the hands of plant-based demonic beasts several times.
Although she really wanted to stay here for a few more years, the facts did not allow her to stay any longer.
A few days ago, she encountered several Level Five demonic beasts' corpses. From the wounds on their bodies, it could be seen that they were attacked by the same demonic beast. This situation could only lead to one conclusion — — a Level Six demonic beast appeared.
Even if she reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, she could only run when facing a Level Six demonic beast, not to mention that she was now only at Qi Refining Stage Eight.
Returning to the tree where she was resting, Yan Yue threw a few Level Four Demonic Cores to the Tuantuan to absorb.
In the past two years, the Demonic Cores that the Tuantuan hunted and the Demonic Cores that Yan Yue obtained from killing demonic beasts added up to at least a few thousand. They were all absorbed into the Tuantuan's small stomach.
Yan Yue also thought about whether she should keep some and sell them, but she rejected the idea in the end.
These low level Demonic Cores could not be used to refine any good magic tools. Moreover, she did not have the spare money to hire a Tool Refiner to refine them for her.
If she sold them to others, they would probably let their contracted beasts absorb them.
Then why would she sell them? She also had contracted beasts. It was better to let the Tuantuan absorb the ability to grow stronger. Her level was still low, so it would be troublesome if she kept too much money.
Yan Yue simply packed up her things. All the useful things were placed in the storage bag that Cang Po had thrown to her. There was a few dozen cubic meters of space inside, which was more than enough to store some small things.
Of course, Cang Po was quite extravagant. In such a large space, he only placed a few jade slips, which recorded the cultivation methods from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Building Stage.
Yan Yue felt that the storage bag was more precious than the jade slips. She felt that the jade slips were more convenient!
In fact, Yan Yue's guess was not far off. There were still many self-cultivators who did not have storage bags. Of course, most of them were rogue cultivators, and some of them only had storage bags with a space of a few dozen cubic meters. Only those with a rich family background would have storage bags with a space of a hundred cubic meters. Of course, some big families and forces would also have storage bags with a space of a few hundred or even a thousand cubic meters.
Of course, there were less than ten people in the world who had storage rings or storage bracelets. They were definitely the big families of the big families and the strongest of the strong.
The smallest storage ring or storage bracelet had a space of at least a few thousand cubic meters. The better ones even had tens of thousands of cubic meters.
For tens of thousands of years, there had not been an immortal weapon master. Now, the highest level of weapon refining in the world was only a ninth-level spiritual weapon master. Naturally, they could not refine first-level immortal weapons like storage rings and storage bracelets.
Therefore, Yan Yue's storage bag could be considered a rare item.
After packing up, Yan Yue carried the Tuantuan and jumped up a tree. She sat on a branch and leaned against the trunk. She closed her eyes and felt the rare peace.
Today was the last day of her period. It would be convenient for her to go down the mountain after her period.
Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable to carry the smell of blood all over her body. In addition, there was not even a sanitary pad here. She could only use ragged clothes as a cushion. She was really not used to it.
Thinking of the time when she had her first period a few months ago, Yan Yue was really scared. After living in the forest for more than two years, she had almost forgotten that she was a woman.
She only hoped that she could cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible. Then, her menstrual cycle would stop. She would not have to eat, drink, and go to the toilet every day. Every month, she would have a period. It was so troublesome.
Ascending to the Foundation Establishment stage was basically putting an end to being a mortal. She would become a real cultivator.
She would not have to eat every day. Basically, it would be fine even if she did not eat for several months. Absorbing spiritual energy was a kind of energy for the body.
Of course, there would be no more metabolic excretion process. The impurities in the body would be directly excreted from the body surface through the skin.
Of course, what made Yan Yue most happy was that her menstrual cycle would also stop.
Although cultivators had a much longer lifespan than mortals, their pregnancy rate was especially low. Decades of unremitting efforts might not be able to give birth to a child. Because cultivation itself was against the natural order, the number of cultivators could be controlled and would not break the balance of the world.
After resting for a day, her period was also over. Only then did Yan Yue put on the clothes that the Kuang Da left for her. She tied her hair up with a rope and tied it into a simple ponytail. She randomly wiped some dust on her face, neck, and hands to make herself look a little embarrassed. Only then did she stop.
Calling the Tuantuan, one person and one beast hurriedly went down the mountain. Hurriedly looking back at the place where she had lived for nearly three years, Yan Yue silently said in her heart: One day, she will come back!
