99: Soul forging, middle stage of the spirit realm!

“Someone will show filial respect to me?”

Zi Yan’s forehead was full of question marks.

“You’ll know when we get there!”

Gu Fei didn’t explain much. After putting away the Earth Core Soul Marrow, he took Zi Yan and headed towards the distant, vast mountain range.

Earth Core Soul Marrow, when combined with other Spirit Medicine and then used, will have an even better effect.

Gu Fei still lacked a few Spirit Medicine for preparing the Earth Core Soul Marrow, and those Spirit Medicine could all be found in the treasure vault of the Demonic Beast overlord of that mountain range.

Before long, the outline of the massive mountain range appeared in front of their vision.

This Medicine Mountain Range, like a giant Dragon, meandered and coiled. In the mid-air of the mountain range, a thick mist permeated. This mist was not natural fog, but rather condensed from dense energy.

In the depths of this mountain range, continuous roars of Demonic Beasts echoed, and a violent Qi permeated within the roars.

With Gu Fei’s speed, even if those Demonic Beasts discovered them, they wouldn’t be able to catch up.

Just like that, they traveled north.

Finally, they arrived at the top of the highest and most majestic peak in the Medicine Mountain Range.

“Someone dares to trespass on my Xiong Zhan’s territory. I’d like to see who is so bold?”

As soon as the two arrived at the peak, a furious voice suddenly resounded from the sky.

Immediately, a muscular figure stepped out from the distorted space, standing like an iron tower in front of Gu Fei and Zi Yan.

As this muscular figure appeared, a vast, steady, and profound Qi also suddenly surged out from his body.

This burly man was the overlord of the Medicine Mountain Range, an eighth-rank Demonic Beast, Xiong Zhan.

His true form was a Dragon Bear.

Dragon Bears, such ferocious Demonic Beasts, are rarely seen nowadays, as they also belong to ancient exotic beasts, and they even possess some Dragon Bloodline within them, making their strength quite extraordinary.

“Big lug, what are you yelling about?”

Seeing this burly man, Zi Yan changed her usual demeanor. Before, she was afraid of some Advanced seventh-rank Demonic Beasts, but now, facing this eighth-rank Demonic Beast, she didn’t seem to care at all.

As she spoke, a brilliant purple glow flashed across Zi Yan’s bright, watery eyes.

That purple glow was different from usual; it looked like a Dragon shape.

“This is… a true Dragon Clan Bloodline!”

Xiong Zhan’s broad, muscular body trembled involuntarily when he saw that Dragon-shaped purple glow.

A pressure originating from the Bloodline made his blood almost boil.

“Little Ancestor, Xiong Zhan was rude just now!” The originally majestic Xiong Zhan now had a fawning expression on his face, repeatedly trying to curry favor.

At this moment, Zi Yan finally understood the meaning of Gu Fei’s earlier words.

“Big lug, what good food do you have here? Bring it all out!”

Zi Yan said directly.

At this moment, Zi Yan was very Divine Qi; this was one of her few highlight moments.

“Little Ancestor, I’ll go catch two seventh-rank Demonic Beasts for you to replenish your Qi!”

Hearing this, Xiong Zhan nodded repeatedly.

“I don’t eat meat; I want to eat Spirit Medicine!”

Zi Yan quickly stopped Xiong Zhan.

“Spirit Medicine? Good, I have plenty here!” Xiong Zhan smiled apologetically and led Gu Fei and Zi Yan to the large stone hall on the mountain peak. At the entrance of the stone hall, two Demonic Beasts with fierce Qi were lying prostrate.

“Go play somewhere else.”

Zi Yan walked ahead, casually waving her small hand. The two seemingly ferocious Advanced Demonic Beasts let out a low whimper, then tucked their tails and quickly retreated far away.

From Zi Yan, they felt a sense of oppression originating from her Bloodline, which left them with no desire to resist.

And this display made Zi Yan even more Divine Qi; she finally had a chance to show off in front of Gu Fei.

She looked back at Gu Fei, blinking her eyes, as if saying: “See, I’m amazing, right? I scared them away with just one sentence!”

Gu Fei also gave her a thumbs-up in response.

Next, the two followed Xiong Zhan into the stone hall, walked through several corridors within the hall, and then arrived at the spacious square inside the main hall.

As Gu Fei’s footsteps just entered the square, a rich, almost viscous medicinal fragrance surged towards him. In the square, countless Spirit Medicine were piled up densely.

These items were all extremely rare in the outside world.

However, here, they were casually placed as if they were common cabbages.

“Wow, there’s too much!”

Seeing this scene, Zi Yan instantly started to drool a little. She wished she could immediately jump into the square and take a few bites.

“Zi Yan, don’t rush. Wait until I find what I need, then you can go wild!”

Gu Fei quickly pulled Zi Yan back.

It wouldn’t be good if this little glutton ate the Spirit Medicine he needed.

“Alright!”

Zi Yan suppressed the impulse; she was still counting on Gu Fei to help her refine pills later.

After all, these Spirit Medicine, if eaten raw, didn't taste very good.

“Do you mind if I take some Spirit Medicine?”

Gu Fei turned around, looked at Xiong Zhan, and asked with a smile.

“Not at all, little brother, please help yourself!”

Xiong Zhan had already sensed Gu Fei’s Dou Zun cultivation before, and coupled with Zi Yan’s obedient demeanor under Gu Fei’s care, Xiong Zhan was very polite to Gu Fei.

“Thank you!”

Gu Fei smiled, then entered the square to search for the required Spirit Medicine. What he needed most was a type of Spirit Medicine called Heavenly Hemp Jade Stone Essence.

This item was crucial for Gu Fei to harmonize the Earth Core Soul Marrow.

Although there were many and varied Spirit Medicine in the square, with Gu Fei’s ability, he quickly found a piece of Heavenly Hemp Jade Stone Essence.

“I’ve picked it!”

Gu Fei waved to Zi Yan, signaling her.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Yan darted into the square, hugged a golden fruit, and began to gnaw on it wildly.

That hard golden fruit, which ordinary swords found difficult to cut, was easily bitten open by Zi Yan’s teeth.

“You eat first, I’m going to do something!”

Gu Fei asked Xiong Zhan for a stone room and began to try harmonizing the Earth Core Soul Marrow.

Now that all the Materials were gathered, refining was not a difficult task, especially for Gu Fei, who had Advanced to an eighth-rank Alchemist.

In just one hour, three perfectly prepared bottles of Earth Core Soul Marrow were placed in front of Gu Fei.

Gu Fei’s efficiency was undoubtedly much higher than that of the lucky guy in the original work; almost no Earth Core Soul Marrow was wasted.

“I wonder how much my Soul Power will increase after drinking you all!”

Gu Fei didn’t hesitate; he directly picked up one of the jade bottles and poured it into his mouth.

The moment the Earth Core Soul Marrow poured into his body, Gu Fei’s head buzzed. The Soul Power in his glabella, at this moment, seemed to have consumed a catalyst, suddenly swelling up. The rapid expansion caused a sensation of distending pain in Gu Fei’s glabella.

A terrifyingly powerful and peculiar energy was rapidly seeping into his Soul.

And at the same time, the strength of Gu Fei’s Soul also began to rapidly increase, as if it had consumed some great tonic!
