"Ding~ You have infused Iron Bark Birch with 600 days of True Essence, obtaining a ten-thousandfold return, yielding 600,000 days of cultivation."
"Ding~ Your cultivation has reached its limit. Please break through to Advanced Body Forging Technique as soon as possible to advance to the next level."
Yang Hong dug a cave on the east side of the small basin, next to the waterfall, and settled down.
He began to search for high-grade spiritual plants on the surrounding mountains for infusion,
One purpose was to heal his injuries, and the other was to prepare for the next stage of transplantation.
With the Spirit Sensing Technique and Yang Hong's experience in planting spiritual plants, he found 17 four-grade spiritual plants and one five-grade spiritual plant within seven days.
This five-grade spiritual plant was the Iron Bark Birch.
The Iron Bark Birch looked similar to the birch trees on Blue Star, except its bark was dark brown, like the color of cast iron.
The bark of the Iron Bark Birch was a material with both metal and wood attributes, making it an excellent material for refining flying swords.
Although Yang Hong did not possess artifact refining techniques or related knowledge,
It was still very necessary to start cultivating the Iron Bark Birch now to prepare for the future.
Especially since the Myriad Demon Island Domain was rich in spiritual energy, it was a good place for cultivation, and the immortal cultivation culture must be prosperous.
It should be easy to find cultivation-related knowledge in the future.
The Gai Zhu Mountain where Yang Hong was currently located had a spiritual energy concentration slightly higher than that of the Hong Dong Secret Realm.
According to Yang Hong's estimation, it should be between a four-grade and a five-grade spiritual land.
In such a place, both cultivation and planting spiritual plants were much better than in that wretched place of Da Sui.
"Buzz~"
Just as Yang Hong was about to infuse the next spiritual plant, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled,
A terrifying pressure descended upon the entire Gai Zhu Mountain.
"Not good, it's the Thunder Roc King!"
Yang Hong cried out inwardly, immediately retreated to the base of the Iron Bark Birch,
Quickly pushed aside a pile of leaves, lay down, covered himself with leaves, concealed his aura, and held his breath.
All done in one go!
This was the countermeasure Yang Hong had planned when he entered the forest.
There were many small animals and insects in the forest, and with all sorts of plants, his aura would be even more mixed.
As long as he was careful, he should be able to evade the Thunder Roc King's detection.
As expected, just as Yang Hong completely concealed his aura and stopped breathing, a powerful and domineering divine sense swept over him.
This divine sense merely glanced over him and did not linger.
However, Yang Hong dared not be careless and remained silent, not daring to move.
Indeed,
Over the next hour, that divine sense scanned him six times.
The Thunder Roc King was not a fool and naturally knew it was impossible to find the demon slayer in one go,
But he also lacked great patience. The subsequent divine sense scans became increasingly overbearing.
Yang Hong could feel the earthworms, ants, and other small insects around him dying in swathes under the overbearing divine sense scans.
After remaining motionless for two hours, Yang Hong stood up from under the leaves, confirming that the Thunder Roc King had left.
"Is the concealment ability of Advanced Breathing Technique enough?
Should I evolve it again?"
The cautious Yang Hong opened the infusion system and evolved the Advanced Breathing Technique again.
And he evolved it twice consecutively.
With the experience of evolving the Advanced Breathing Technique before, Yang Hong approached the spiritual plant he had chosen earlier and clicked to evolve.
As the suction force within his body arrived, he immediately infused the spiritual plant beside him.
The cultivation returned from infusion replenished the energy needed for the evolution of the Breathing Technique, more than enough.
Advanced Breathing Technique → Super Breathing Technique → Top-tier Breathing Technique.
After two evolutions, Yang Hong could no longer evolve the Breathing Technique.
Because the next evolution required 30,000 martial skill points.
This was a very long-term task for Yang Hong.
His current martial skill points were only 23,728.
"Consuming so many martial skill points, I wonder if it's worth it?"
Seeing that he was even further from breaking through his cultivation, Yang Hong felt a pang of heartache.
He now just wanted to recover his body quickly and then go out to rob the immortal cultivation techniques of demons and humans.
However, Yang Hong would soon feel gratified and a sense of dread for his own caution.
The next morning, as the sun just began to warm the earth, Gai Zhu Mountain became lively.
"My subordinates, search for me. Search carefully and diligently. You must find that two-legged creature."
Just as Yang Hong was about to eat some fruit to fill his stomach, a sinister and overbearing voice came from the sky.
"Demonic beasts have entered the mountain. I need to quickly erase the traces of my life over the past few days."
Yang Hong was startled at first and immediately took action, quickly erasing the traces of his life over the past week and more.
Fortunately, he was an immortal cultivator and had always known he would be searched for, so his traces were faint and were quickly erased.
He quietly approached the waterfall and circulated the second-tier common technique [Turtle Breath Technique] to dive into the pool beneath the waterfall.
"This pool can hide someone. Let a demon go down and check."
Yang Hong was smart, but demons weren't necessarily all foolish.
Yang Hong hid in the water for half an hour before demons discovered the small basin, and several divine senses swept over.
Yang Hong confirmed that those powerful divine senses were at least from Nascent Soul realm cultivators, and more than six different demons had arrived.
Finally, a demon felt it was not secure and ordered demonic beasts to check the water.
Just as Yang Hong was trembling with fear, thinking he was about to be exposed,
A demon with a wolf's head and a human body, about two zhang tall, jumped into the pool and directly stepped on Yang Hong, who was beneath the silt.
What's more, this four-grade Golden Core realm demon actually walked back and forth on Yang Hong twice without discovering him.
The wolf demon probably took Yang Hong for silt, completely unaware that its target was right beneath its feet.
"Lord Wind Eagle, I have checked this pool. There are no two-legged creatures inside, not even slightly larger fish."
After searching the pool for a while, the wolf demon surfaced and reported to the five-grade demon king in the air from the edge of the pool.
"Search nearby. You must find that two-legged creature!"
"Yes, my lord. Your subordinate will search carefully."
Then, the two demonic beasts went to search elsewhere.
Yang Hong decided not to leave the pool and used the [Turtle Breath Technique] driven by the [Top-tier Breathing Technique] to hide directly at the bottom of the pool.
Over the next three days,
A total of 5 four-grade demonic beasts and 2 five-grade demonic beasts entered the pool.
But they did not discover Yang Hong, who was only a third-grade Fusion realm cultivator and was severely injured.
Only then did Yang Hong realize the power of the Top-tier Breathing Technique.
When activated, his aura could directly merge with the surrounding environment,
Even the divine sense of a six-grade demon king could not detect any anomalies.
While wondering why the demons were so persistent in finding him, Yang Hong also secretly rejoiced,
Fortunately, he was cautious enough to upgrade his Breathing Technique twice.
This allowed him to easily evade the demonic beasts' search.
The entire Gai Zhu Mountain was in an uproar for seven days before it gradually quieted down.
Yang Hong did not understand the demon language, so he did not know what the demons said.
However, he patiently hid at the bottom of the pool for ten days until there were no more demonic beasts appearing before coming out.
The Thunder Roc King and other demons believed that someone had secretly infiltrated Yu Liu Island, killed Hu Li, stole his treasures, and then quietly left.
Therefore, they had expanded their search radius.
This had even led to several minor conflicts between demons and humans.
Yang Hong would not have known these things if he hadn't left Yu Liu Island. He was now sorting through Hu Li's遗物.
Anything that could make so many high-grade demons search so diligently must be an extraordinary treasure.
