Refining Genius Cultivation

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Tinggui Mountain in front of him, Fang Yunlong smiled slightly, then sighed lightly. He changed the hand signs and the ice and fire carpet beneath his feet released a cheerful sound, bringing Fang Yunlong and the seven butterflies that were a few inches in size Rise to fly into the distance.

One year after the last hunt, Fang Yunlong had become a Late Foundation Building Period cultivator, but on the surface, he was still a Middle Foundation Building Period Cultivator.

After a year of battle, Fang Yunlong had successfully accumulated thirty sect wooden tokens from the opposing cultivators and became the first cultivator to have three years of rest due to his battle achievements.

On the last hunt, Sky Valley's side was completely surrounded in the small forest. After a few days of probing, both sides gradually began to fight.

After paying a heavy price, the Sky Valley side finally obtained more than ten formation beads with great difficulty. In addition to the four formation beads that Fang Yunlong had secretly given out, at the end of the hunt, Qi Feng finally led everyone to launch a counterattack against the Rising Sun Sect Side.

This battle was carried out in the Spirit Suppressing Eight Trigrams Array. With the combination of thunderstorms and earth-shaking battles, blood flowed like a river from both sides.

This was especially true for the cultivators of Cloud Sky Valley who did not have the formation beads with them. Under the effects of the formation and the bloody battle, they were like killing machines.

After this battle, out of the fifty people that came with Sky Valley, only twenty or so people carried injuries that differed in severity and returned to the Tinggui Mountain. Amongst the cultivators participating in Heluo Sect Hunting, the strongest Fire Cloud Pavilion's Pavilion Master Zhong, the two of them working together could rival two Late Foundation Building Period cultivators, the couple, and Elder Guo's disciples, Ye Shanhe and the other cultivators, all died in this battle.

The injuries sustained by the cultivators who managed to walk out of the hunting grounds were not light. Pan Yun's abdomen had been penetrated, while Jin Ao's back had been ruthlessly slashed. If not for Fang Yunlong's timely arrival, the two of them would probably have become the spoils of Rising Sun Sect Side's hunt.

Fang Yunlong's tenth senior sister, Li Na, might have had the formation array bead that Fang Yunlong gifted her, but she, who was at the peak of the Early Foundation Building Period, couldn't even withstand a single blow in front of the numerous Late Foundation Building Period cultivators, and was forced to use a powerful secret technique in the end.

Success in escaping from the battlefield would only result in heavy injuries, and it would take at least a year or so before he would be able to recover.

Fang Yunlong's best friend, Chai Jing, did not receive any life-threatening injuries due to the formation beads and secret protection that Fang Yunlong gave her. However, she fought to the point where she was completely exhausted, and her Spiritual Strength was completely exhausted. However, Chai Jing could be considered to have benefited from her misfortune.

After this battle, the pseudo Core Formation stage unexpectedly approached. Because of this change, Chai Jing had no choice but to return to the Sky Valley in advance. Under the guidance of her Core Condensation Period elders, she planned to enter the realm of false pellets in order to break through the false pellet and become a Core Condensation Period Cultivator.

Before Chai Jing left, she did not meet Fang Yunlong alone anymore, but the eyes that she used to speak were filled with smiles and shyness. In another ten to twenty years, she would very likely become a Core Condensation Period Cultivator, so what about Fang Yunlong? What about their agreement?

After Chai Jing left, quite a few cultivators from Sky Valley's side joined the ranks and helped to protect the Tinggui Mountain.

The cultivators who were severely injured during the last hunt were all sent to a small town a thousand miles away to recuperate. Only a few special cultivators returned to their respective sects, including Pan Yun and Jin Ao.

When the two of them left, they looked at Fang Yunlong with complex expressions, as if they didn't know what to say.

Under the influence of his master, Fairy Floating Cloud, Pan Yun felt a certain repulsion towards male cultivators. However, on the surface, it was only slightly cold and did not show it. She was as beautiful as a flower and had extraordinary strength. Pan Yun had many pursuers within the Heluo Sect.

However, most cultivators were unable to enter her eyes. It was only because Fang Yunlong had a legendary sect sensation and also had the identity of a good friend that Pan Yun looked at it a little more.

After being saved by Fang Yunlong this time, Pan Yunfang's heart was extremely grateful, because she had always suspected that Fang Yunlong saved her for the sake of being attentive to him.

With Fang Yunlong's strength and level, as well as his fame within the Heluo Sect, Pan Yun Fang's heart secretly approved of him, but he somehow felt that he couldn't so easily agree to Fang Yunlong's request.

As for Jin Ao, his expression towards Fang Yunlong was even more complicated. When he came to the Tinggui Mountain and heard of Fang Yunlong's achievements, Jin Ao, who was brimming with pride and viewed Fang Yunlong as his lifelong opponent, was naturally filled with unwillingness.

But in his estimation, what he was doing was wrong. Jin Ao was facing many mid to late stage Foundation Establishment experts, and there were only a few Early Foundation Building Period Cultivator who were the same level as him.

Most of them had already been killed by Qi Feng's array stealing beads team, so in this hunt, Jin Ao only killed one cultivator.

Just as Jin Ao exhausted all his efforts and strength to kill a Middle Foundation Building Period Cultivator, Cheng Ya Jin appeared out of nowhere and suddenly sneak attacked, leaving a one foot long, half an inch deep hole on Jin Ao's back. This attack almost destroyed Jin Ao.

As long as the other party gently waved his wrist, Jin Ao would forever be left in this place. In that short moment of danger, Fang Yunlong descended from the sky and instantly killed his opponent with his formidable strength.

At this moment, Jin Ao finally looked straight at himself, and understood the difference in strength between himself and Fang Yunlong.

At the time of departure, although Jin Ao was extremely grateful, his arrogance prevented him from speaking up. All this while, Jin Ao had always believed that he was not inferior to Fang Yunlong, even in the training grounds, during the competition, he had been at a disadvantage for a while.

Jin Ao had never thought that he was worse than Fang Yunlong, but this time's hunt, especially after the brutal reality of Fang Yunlong killing a total of seven cultivators, Jin Ao understood one thing. At this stage of the game, he was far from being Fang Yunlong's match.

As the heavily injured cultivators left the Tinggui Mountain, fresh blood was immediately replenished. Adding the substitutes from before, they formed a small team of fifty once more to welcome the sudden sneak attack from Rising Sun Sect Side.

If not for Qi Feng leading a portion of the Sky Valley cultivators and setting up a formation that was secretly passed down through the Sky Valley at a critical moment, the Tinggui Mountain would probably have changed hands. Even though they had managed to repel the Rising Sun Sect Side in the end, the Sky Valley had paid a heavy price.

The small team of 50 people that was just formed was once again dispersed. There were only around 30 people left. Su Cheng of Heluo Sect died in battle, Li Fei and Yu Fei Fei were heavily injured and returned to their sect. Liu Fei, who disguised himself as the elder Qi Ping, only suffered from light injuries and continued to stay in the Tinggui Mountain.

After two tug-of-war, both sides were in a short period of rest due to their lack of manpower.

In this short period of time spent to rest, the help of over a dozen herb pills, as well as the experience of countless wild battles, and the enlightenment of a moment of life and death, allowed Fang Yunlong to enter a profound state. And before the next battle, he began to go into closed-door training to break through the Late Foundation Building Period realm.

After a month of condensation of the Spiritual Strength, Fang Yunlong's Golden Spirit Arts had successfully broken through the second level of the first level and entered the third level.

The only regret was that the [Flame] cultivation technique was still stuck at the peak of the second layer, unable to advance any further. As for the Heaven's Secrets Art, due to the time constraints and lack of time, although it had increased, it was still unable to break through a small boundary.

Fang Yunlong who came out of closed door cultivation just happened to face a battle between two sides. However, Fang Yunlong had already become a Late Foundation Building Period cultivator, and his power had risen to another level. With the strength of the Middle Foundation Building Period, Fang Yunlong could even resist the reputed number one cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

When he rose to the Late Foundation Building Period, it could be said that in the Tinggui Mountain, Fang Yunlong was already an almost invincible existence.

In this battle, Fang Yunlong started his own little plan. After a few bitter battles, Fang Yunlong used the Golden Binding Ring and captured his old friend Yan Yan during the trial. Then, he had a few fellow sect members sent him to the Heluo Sect, for Master and Elder Liu to handle.

Amongst the Jade Slip given to Elder Liu, Fang Yunlong kept a record of Zhao Xiaoqing being Zhao Guang. He hoped that he would find out the truth from Yan Yan and remove Zhao Guang from the sect's hierarchy.

When Elder Liu heard of this, he was greatly alarmed. Zhao Guang was not a normal cultivator, he had set many restrictions on Heluo Sect.

including the sect's protective formation, the Boundless Eight Trigrams Array and the newly developed array formation, the River Luo Formation. They knew a lot about it, if what Fang Yunlong said was true, then the consequences would be severe, and there would even be the worry of the sect being exterminated.

Clan Elder Liu immediately brought Yan Yan to seek for the Great Clan Elder to inform him of the situation. The first elder immediately used the Soul Searching Technique that only Nascent Soul stage cultivators could use, and found out the truth.

As for what happened afterwards, Fang Yunlong had no way of knowing. All he knew was that Yan Yan did not die, because he was a direct descendant of an esteemed elder of the Chaoyang Sect, and was exchanged with many precious things.

Fang Yunlong, who had captured Yan Yan alive, received a high reward from the Heluo Sect Council. Not only were there close to ten thousand Spiritual Stone, there were also many spirit pellets, Talisman and magic tools.

In a fierce battle more than a month ago, Fang Yunlong had finally completed his goal of killing thirty cultivators.

After the confirmation from the Sky Valley s and elders, Fang Yunlong obtained a long three years of rest. During these three years, he could freely move, and wasn't under the orders of the sect.

After being allowed to leave, Fang Yunlong did not leave the Tinggui Mountain in a hurry. Instead, he waited for the Colorful Butterfly to evolve before he took them out from the ground, and then left.

Half a year ago, through the connection in his mind, Fang Yunlong found out that the Colorful Butterfly had absorbed a large amount of Spiritual Strength and entered the process of evolution.

This was the second evolution of the Colorful Butterfly. The first time was when it absorbed the colored phoenix Spiritual Strength from the amber, but in the end, it possessed the ability of stealth and illusory, so what kind of surprise would this second evolution bring him? Fang Yunlong was very much looking forward to it.

The Colorful Butterfly did not disappoint Fang Yunlong. After evolving, its body had expanded by more than a fold, and the speed at which it absorbed the Spiritual Strength was several times faster than before. Fang Yunlong called the ability of the Colorful Butterfly's evolution "convergence" this time.

After the evolution, every single one of the Colorful Butterfly could take down one Foundation Building Period Cultivator. And when the seven colored butterflies fused into one, becoming a transparent butterfly that was one foot long, their strength was actually comparable to that of the Core Condensation Period Cultivator.

However, after using the [Convergence] and unleashing the power of the Core Condensation Period, the Colorful Butterfly would have to rest for a very long time before it could recover.
