Sixteen days later, in a deep mountain somewhere.
"Roar!!"
An extremely tiger-like low roar came out from a very hard to notice pit hole, and inside the pit hole, a white cat was slowly stretching its body.
"The feeling of getting rid of all the injuries is really comfortable!"
Looking at Duke by his side, joy was also revealed in his eyes.
It had been sixteen days since he ambushed and killed the bear. After killing the bear, Duke commanded Xiaoha to find an abandoned nest of some unknown beast to live in.
They had lived there for sixteen days.
Sixty-eight pieces of bear blood and flesh pills were refined, and since this nest was close to a water vein, Duke also took Shisan to the waterside to collect some river water and made a few clear water pills.
After making the clear water pills, Duke and Shisan had been living a simple life, always hiding in this pit hole.
Eat and drink enough then sleep, wake up and refine some books into pills to pass time.
In this pig-like life, with Duke's generosity in eating and drinking, Xiaoha grew another size. At the same time, Duke's injuries were completely healed.
It was just that neither of them had taken a bath for half a month, not to mention their fur was dirty, it was also covered with a layer of dust.
But Duke didn't care about these trivial matters at all. It was hard to finally recover from his injuries, so he didn't care about these details.
"Roar!!"
Seeing that Duke's injuries had healed, Shisan couldn't help but pounce on the cat from behind and gave Duke a good lick.
Duke let the dog do whatever he wanted, but this silly dog was getting more and more presumptuous, which made Duke give him a slap to calm him down.
"After the injury is healed, it's time to consider breaking through!"
Duke lay on the bear skin, his mind sank into the Black Cauldron space. Inside the Black Cauldron space, the pills used for cultivation were still placed in it.
This Black Cauldron space seemed to have the effect of stabilizing the potency and preventing the loss of efficacy.
These pills had been placed in the space for more than half a month, and the potency was still abundant.
After looking over the pills, Duke's eyes fell on a jade box.
The jade box contained the Primordial Core Realm Breakthrough Pill that allowed those who had achieved Great Perfection in Fleshly Body Realm to break through to the extreme and attain the Water and Fire Immortal Garment achievement when swallowed.
As for the essentials and key points of taking the Extreme Realm Pill, the maid had told him many times.
According to the maid, impacting the Water and Fire Immortal Garment required the cultivation base at the Great Perfection of Fleshly Body Realm, and no progress in the Primordial Core Realm. Otherwise, it would have very dangerous consequences.
There were only nine Primordial Core Realm Breakthrough Pills that could be taken in one's life for breaking through the realm. No more than that.
Either break through the realm with nine pills, or completely miss the martial achievement of Water and Fire Immortal Garment.
In addition, the maid specifically told Duke that there would be Nirvana during the process of completing the Water and Fire Immortal Garment.
In fact, Nirvana occurs in every one of the four major achievements.
Only by persevering through Nirvana and extending the Nirvana time for the longest can the effect of the Water and Fire Immortal Garment be the strongest.
Although the Water and Fire Immortal Garment is known for being immune to fire and water, impervious to knives and guns, in fact, people are different, so the strength of this Water and Fire Immortal Garment is also different.
And this difference lies in the appearance of Nirvana. The longer one persists through Nirvana, the more benefits one gets.
After sorting out what the maid said to him in his mind, Duke took a deep breath.
Next, all his major efforts would be focused on cultivating the Water and Fire Immortal Garment.
As for finding the maid and reuniting with her, there was no hurry for that matter.
A cat without strength by his side would always feel restless.
And moreover, pursuing strength has always been his first goal.
"My vital essence is a little deficient now, I must adjust my state to optimal before I can continue."
With this thought, Duke also took out a Qi and Blood Replenishing Pill from the Black Cauldron space and stuffed it into his mouth. As for the double-refined Qi and Blood Replenishing Pill, the potency was too violent, which would be counterproductive for him who had just recovered from serious injuries.
With the Qi and Blood Replenishing Pill entering his stomach, Duke immediately assumed the stance to stand like a stake to practice.
Seeing Duke starting to stand like a stake, Shisan, who was bored, yawned lazily, lying on the bear skin, silently watching Duke practicing.
Time quickly came to dusk, and as Duke let out a low tiger roar in his throat, he also shook his body.
"An ancient book often said that there must be destruction before construction. After being injured once, I feel that there is still room for further improvement within the Fleshly Body Realm."
"Since this is the case, I will first impact the Fleshly Body Realm to its limit. In this way, impacting the Water and Fire Immortal Garment will be much more secure."
With this thought, Duke also gave up the idea of resting and continued to swallow Qi and Blood Replenishing Pills to continue standing like a stake, pushing himself to his limit.
Soon, it was midnight.
Duke had already practiced for nearly five hours. Without continuing to practice, Duke walked out of his hiding pit and came outside.
This pit was on the side of the only small hill near the pit. There were branches and dead vines of bushes covering it so that the entrance of the pit could not be seen without looking closely.
Standing at the entrance of the pit, amidst the howling cold wind, Duke subconsciously looked up at the moon in the sky.
At this moment, the moon was close to full moon. Apparently, the full moon was about to come again.
"The full moon is about to come again soon. It's time again to collect moonlight and refine pills," Duke thought to himself with a slight sigh. Time passed so fast that a month had gone by.
He recalled that a month ago, he was still eating and drinking without worry in the pavilions, but now he was living in the deep mountains, advancing cautiously and carefully at every step.
"Life ah!"
Duke suddenly understood the meaning of the state of mind that he heard Su Xiuwu talk about before, but what he should pay attention to at the moment was still the upcoming cultivation of the Water and Fire Immortal Garment.
"It looks like I still have to put the Water and Fire Immortal Garment on hold for a while. First wait until the full moon night to collect moon essence and refine pills. That is the most important thing."
"In addition, before starting the cultivation of the Water and Fire Immortal Garment, I still need to continue refining Sun Essence Pills. Although I still don't know what effects these two pills have, just keep taking them will get things done anyway."
"After all, there are no side effects."
....................
In the hinterland of Yunzhou, on a certain high mountain.
The pavilions were built along the mountain with orderly layout.
In one of the pavilions halfway up the mountain, a petite jade-carved girl was annoyed, resting her cheeks on her hands while looking at the bright moon outside the window.
"Miss, it's time to rest," said Yun Shan with a dangling sleeve as she approached Su Qiluo, missing an arm and looking thinner. Su Qiluo silently nodded while looking at Yun Shan.
"Miss, are you thinking about the general again?" Seeing Su Qiluo's worries, Yun Shan couldn't help asking.
"Aunt Yun Shan, do you know where the general is now?"
"Miss, the general is the divine general sent by heaven to protect you. He must be looking for you somewhere right now!"
"Or perhaps, the general has already returned to the Su Family!"
"But..." Su Qiluo wanted to speak again, but only sighed, "I hope so!"
"Alright, miss, time to rest!"
"Well, aunt Yun Shan, you should rest early too!"
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?"
