As a demon cultivator, it makes sense to be cruel!

"Slave Hongyu, meet your master!"

As soon as Hongyu appeared, she saluted Fang Han Yingying.

"Well, take these three ghost evil grasses and refine them!"

Fang Han took a look at Hongyu, who was wearing a red dress, and took out three ghost grasses that exuded strong Yin energy.

"Thank you Master for cultivating me!"

Hongyu bowed again, then happily took the ghost grass from Fang Han's hand, floated it to the corner of the stone room and started refining it.

After seeing Hongyu refining the ghost grass, Fang Han took out a jade bottle from Teng Dali's storage bag.

This was the jade bottle used by Teng Dali to collect blood pills. Fang Han reached out and opened the cork, and immediately a bloody smell floated out from the jade bottle and was inhaled by Fang Han.

"This is the blood elixir that Teng Dali mentioned. It is an elixir refined from the essence and blood of monks. This Teng Manzi is indeed evil enough."

Although he said this, his hands were honest. He poured out a blood pill from the jade bottle and threw it into the air. Fang Han tilted his head and swallowed the blood pill in one gulp.

As soon as the blood pill was taken into his mouth, the bloody energy rushed straight to his forehead. At the same time, a pure spiritual power that was ten times larger than the Qi Gathering Pill circulated along Fang Han's tendons and the movement of the technique, and finally gathered in the Dantian.

Three days later, Han opened his eyes from meditation, with shock in his eyes.

"I didn't expect this blood pill to be so powerful. After three days of continuous refining, I only consumed one-tenth of the potency."

Fang Han's eyes flashed with golden light, and he sighed in his heart: Blood Pill is really a good thing.

At this time, Fang Han's stomach growled.

"I almost forgot, you can't live without food now."

Then Fang Han took out a bottle of pills, poured one out and swallowed it.

This bottle of elixir is the Bigu Pill that is widely circulated among the Qi Refining Stage monks in the world of cultivation. Taking one Bigu Pill can eliminate the need to eat for a month.

Because it is easy to refine Bigu Pill, and the materials are common in the world of cultivation, it is cheap. Two bottles of Bigu Pill only require one low-grade spiritual stone. It is a must-have elixir for Qi Refining monks.

Only by breaking through from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage can a monk achieve true fasting and sustain his own consumption needs by absorbing spiritual energy.

After Fang Han swallowed the Bigu Pill, he re-entered the state of cultivation. In this way, Fang Han swallowed one Blood Pill and one Bigu Pill every month.

Time passed slowly while practicing. Half a year later, Han Zhoushen's momentum was lifted, and his cultivation level successfully reached the early stage of the eighth level of Qi refining.

Hongyu, who was practicing with her eyes closed, felt Fang Han's breakthrough, opened her red eyes, and looked at Fang Han with a smile on her face.

Hongyu had already refined three ghost evil grasses a month ago, and he had also reached the thirteenth level of Qi refining, the Great Perfection.

After the breakthrough, Ruby floated to Fang Han's side, consolidating his cultivation while protecting Fang Han.

Seeing that Fang Han didn't stop practicing, Hongyu closed her eyes again.

Fang Han broke through the eighth level of Qi refining this time. He was not in a hurry to continue practicing but began to consolidate his cultivation. He knew that the cultivation process must be gradual and not rush for success. Only with a solid foundation can he go further in the cultivation journey.

Three more months have passed, and Fang Han has completely consolidated his eighth-level Qi refining cultivation.

After the consolidation of his cultivation was completed, Fang Han resumed taking a Blood Pill and a Bigu Pill every month as before. Spring passed and autumn came, and in the blink of an eye, there was heavy snow falling outside the cave. It was obviously winter.

It has been two and a half years since Fang Han came here for retreat. During these two and a half years, several waves of monks have come outside the cave, with one wave arriving almost every six months.

If Fang Han saw what these monks were wearing, he would definitely recognize them as Su family monks.

On this day, another wave of Su family monks came here.

Under a big tree outside the cave, there were eleven Qi Refining monks standing in a circle and talking.

"Elder Anyuan, we are here for the fifth time. We can't find the fifth elder who disappeared two and a half years ago and the disciples who came out to practice. Isn't this a waste of our precious time in cultivation?"

Among the 11 people, a young boy with a childish face complained.

"Su Jinxin, shut up!"

"What right do you have to complain to the clan leader? If it weren't for the clan's training, you would have so many cultivation resources?"

"I see that you were born in the Su family, and your life is too comfortable under the protection of the family. You must know that casual cultivators will fight tooth and nail for just one or two spiritual stones, and they don't know which one will come first, tomorrow or death."

"If you don't have a family, you, Su Jinxin, are nothing!"

The man named Elder Anyuan looked at the person who had just spoken with an angry face and scolded him.

"I know, Elder Anyuan!"

Su Jinxin was scolded to death, but he was very angry in his heart. He was the son of the fourth elder of the Su family, and no one in Red Maple City dared to scold him like this since he was a child.

"Su Anyuan, what you have here is a dog raised by the patriarch. If my father were here, would you dare to push me harder!"

Su Jinxin kept cursing secretly in his heart, but on the surface he shrank his neck like a quail.

"Now that you know it, let's spread out and look for clues about the disappearance of the fifth elder of the Su family!"

Su Anyuan held his half-white beard and said with a smile.

"As you command, Third Elder!"

The ten Qi Refining disciples sitting there agreed and then left in different directions.

"The arduous task of finding clues is still left to you young people. I am here waiting for your good news!"

Su Anyuan muttered to himself as he looked at the disciple's leaving figure.

If the departing disciples heard it, they would be so angry that they would vomit blood.

Seven days later, the disciples of the Su family who were practicing in various places walked out of their training places and rushed towards where the third elder of the Su family, Su Anyuan, was.

Su Anyuan, who was practicing cross-legged on the spot, sensed the return of the Su family disciples with his spiritual consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.

"Anything discovered?"

Su Anyuan asked the returning disciple.

"Returning to the elder, after seven days of diligent searching by the disciples, no clues were found."

"Back to the elder, the disciple has found nothing."

The disciples of the Su family who returned reported to Su Anyuan, the third elder of the Su family who was sitting cross-legged.

"Well, you guys have worked hard!"

Seeing that no one found anything, Su Anyuan was not angry. He knew that these ten people must be hiding in a corner to practice, and they did not really look for clues about the disappearance of the five elders of the Su family.

Everyone knew it tacitly, and they were just showing off to the clan leader.

"Since we are all back, we should go back to the Su family to report back to the clan leader!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Anyuan took the lead in sacrificing the magical weapon, and landed on the magical weapon with a vertical leap. As soon as his spiritual power was activated, it turned into a blue rainbow and flew into the sky.

Seeing the elder flying away first, the ten disciples of the Su family quickly took out their magical weapons and jumped up, chasing Su Anyuan who was about to disappear into the sky.

On the other side, Fang Han opened his eyes again in the stone room of the cave. At this time, his aura had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, but it was clear that he had just broken through.

"Congratulations, master, for breaking through the ninth level of Qi refining!"

Hongyu aside, seeing Fang Han quit practicing, she immediately congratulated him.

"Hongyu, how long have I been in seclusion?"

Fang Han said to Hongyu.

"Master, you have been in seclusion for two and a half years."

Hongyu replied respectfully to Fang Han.
