52: He doesn't doubt you, does he?

Then, Wei Xun returned to Black Tiger Mountain with Xiong Er, but due to the long journey, it was already evening by the time they arrived back in the mountains.

When night fell, Wei Xun told Xiong Er and Da Huang to find a place to Cultivate, while he entered the Immortal Cave with Si Niang to Cultivate.

Wei Xun also gave the water spirit stone to Si Niang, and Si Niang, like Xiong Er, swallowed it directly.

Immediately after, Wei Xun placed the Five Elements Spirit Stones from the Da Kou Space in front of him, and absorbed the Spiritual Qi from them by placing them between his palms, one by one.

After five rounds of sensing, Wei Xun found that absorbing different Spirit Stones felt quite different.

When absorbing fire Spirit Stones, his whole body would feel hot; water spirit stones would make him feel cold; wood Spirit Stones would make him feel comfortable; earth Spirit Stones would make him feel a thick Qi; and gold Spirit Stones would make him feel refreshed.

Wei Xun used the Five Elements Spirit Stones in rotation, combined with the Demon Cultivation Mind Technique, to circulate the Spiritual Qi within his body, and closing his eyes to observe the progress bar, he found that his Cultivation speed was indeed much faster than before.

Previously, relying solely on the absorption of Spiritual Qi from the inner demon core and Cultivating, he could at most increase his cultivation by seven to eight hundred points per day, but now, with the combined use of the Five Elements Spirit Stones, he found that he could increase his cultivation by up to one thousand five to six hundred points per day, more than doubling.

If he didn't consume the ginseng in his body to supplement it, it would naturally take about three years to Breakthrough to the Body Forging Third Layer through natural Cultivation.

This speed was already considered very fast for ordinary demons.

However, Wei Xun had that treasure he brought down from the Immortal Mountain.

By consuming immortal ginseng daily, he could increase his Cultivation speed to nearly forty thousand points of cultivation.

This meant that he would only need less than fifty days to Breakthrough to the Body Forging Third Layer now.

While Wei Xun was peacefully Cultivating in his Immortal Cave, a dark figure walked into Fox Elder's Immortal Cave entrance.

"How is it?" Fox Elder whispered to the dark figure.

"Today, he got this stone from Bi Shui Lake!" Da Huang emerged from the shadows, holding in his hand the milky-white water spirit stone that Wei Xun had given him earlier in the day.

Seeing this, Fox Elder slightly crooked his finger at the water spirit stone in Da Huang's hand, and the white stone flew into Fox Elder's hand on its own.

"A water spirit stone!" Fox Elder sniffed the stone under his nose, then threw it back to Da Huang: "This stone is useless to me. I only want to know the method by which his cultivation is increasing so rapidly."

"Reporting to Fox Elder!" Da Huang swallowed and said, "I personally saw him spit out an Immortal Plant from his mouth, which can greatly increase cultivation."

"Besides that?" Fox Elder asked Da Huang again.

"Besides that?" Da Huang was a bit confused after hearing this.

"What about his Cultivation Technique?" Fox Elder asked again, "Didn't I tell you to learn it?"

Hearing Fox Elder's words, Da Huang lowered his head and said, "Little One is stupid, I haven't learned it yet."

"What a good-for-nothing!" Fox Elder snorted, "But even if you haven't learned it, you must remember the method, right?"

"...I remember..." Da Huang sounded very nervous when he spoke.

"Then you speak, and I'll remember!" Fox Elder closed his eyes.

"The Qi of heaven and earth... born from spirit... where Qi goes... is..." Da Huang slowly recited the introductory Mind-Cultivation Technique for demon cultivation that Wei Xun had taught him to Fox Elder.

After listening for a while, Fox Elder frowned, realizing that what Da Huang had recited was only the introductory part of the Mind-Cultivation Technique, with no mention of the deeper methods: "What about the rest?"

"Instructor only taught me a little at the beginning!" Da Huang's voice trembled slightly: "He said he would teach me the rest after I learned this part."

"With your stupidity, when will you ever learn it!" Fox Elder's gaze was like a knife, staring intently at Da Huang for a long time.

Da Huang dared not move after feeling Fox Elder's gaze, fearing he would anger Fox Elder.

"Forget it!" Fox Elder slowly spoke after a long time, "He didn't suspect you, did he?"

"Probably not..."

"Alright!" Fox Elder nodded: "When you go back this time, take this Immortal Plant back to him. No matter what method you use, you must personally see him eat it."

After saying this, Fox Elder threw the Immortal Plant in his hand directly to Da Huang.

Da Huang took the Immortal Plant and immediately nodded, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Alright, you can go back now!" Fox Elder said, then waved his sleeve, shooing Da Huang away.

After Da Huang walked out of Fox Elder's Immortal Cave, his back was already covered in sweat.

Looking at the emerald green Immortal Plant Spiritual Root in his hand, Da Huang swallowed and then turned back to the Mountain Forest he came from.

The moon hung high, it was deep in the night.

At this time, Black Tiger Mountain was quiet everywhere except for some areas at the foot of the mountain where demon soldiers were patrolling.

When Da Huang returned to the Forest, it was even quieter. This Forest had no re-arranged patrolling demon soldiers, and it was located on the mountainside of the back mountain. Usually, only Wei Xun, Xiong Er, and Da Huang lived here.

"Hey!"

As soon as Da Huang entered the Forest, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, followed by the feeling of a large hand pressing on his shoulder.

Da Huang turned his head and realized it was Xiong Er.

"Da Huang, where did you run off to!" Xiong Er looked like he hadn't fully woken up yet, his eyes not completely open.

"I... I went to pee!" Da Huang explained in a panic, he had secretly slipped away after Xiong Er fell asleep.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Xiong Er saw a plant in Da Huang's hand and asked.

"No... nothing..." Da Huang immediately tensed up and hid the Spiritual Plant behind his back.

"You must have found something good!" Xiong Er immediately became energetic and lifted Da Huang off the ground with one hand, as easily as lifting a small chick.

"Really no..." Da Huang still wanted to hide it, but Xiong Er reached out and snatched it away.

Looking at the Spiritual Plant in his hand, Xiong Er sniffed it under his nose and then said, "This is clearly a Spiritual Plant, why are you hiding it after finding it?"

"This..." Da Huang was speechless for a moment.

"Oh!" Xiong Er suddenly seemed to understand something: "You wouldn't be trying to secretly keep it for yourself, would you!"

"No..." Facing the strong Xiong Er, Da Huang was completely helpless.

"Then why?" Xiong Er snorted, "Our boss is so good to you, giving you things and teaching you Cultivation Techniques, and you want to hide a treasure you found."

"No..." Da Huang hurriedly explained, "I just wanted to offer this to Instructor."

"Alright then!" Xiong Er didn't believe him at all: "Tomorrow, I'll personally give it to Big Brother and just say you gave it."

"This..." Da Huang immediately felt a bit scared: "You don't have to say I gave it!"

"Why?" Xiong Er was a bit confused.

"No reason!" Da Huang lowered his head: "It's just... I'm just afraid Instructor will dislike it.... How about you give it, Brother Xiong, and say you found it? Maybe Instructor will accept it."

Xiong Er rolled his eyes after hearing this, then said: "Are you up to something, Little One!"
