Seeing his transformation, Xiao Lin nodded his head.
He then looked into his dantian to look at those images that he sent into there. When he did so, he only shook his head with a smile appearing in his face.
At the moment, the three images that he sent into there had shown their true sizes.
Each of them were as large as a mountain, if not larger.
"I would have to start absorbing energy from the moon to fill up these images so that I can enter the Rare Werewolf stage in time." Xiao Lin said with a nod of his head.
He then focused on reversing his transformation.
As soon as he did so, the size of his body of began to rapidly reduce. While his skin color changed from dark brown to pale-white once again.
Not long, his form completely changed to that of his sick-looking human form.
Immediately he changed back to his sickly human form, he sat down in the cross-legged position on the ground to employ the Image Infusion Technique.
So, with his eyes closed and with intense concentration, the light that shone into his room from the moon, began to mysteriously converge to shine on his body alone, subjecting the non-illuminated areas in his room to darkness.
And as soon as the light converge on his body, a form of energy that was silver-white in color, began to manifest within his body. Then following the method described in the technique, he began to move numerous, small wisps of that energy through a new type of vein network that had appeared in his body immediately he achieved successful transformation into a Werewolf.
So, moving that energy along the newly formed meridian pathways called the Paradigm Werewolf Meridian into his dantian, one of the three mountain-sized images that floated in his dantian became infused with the small wisps of silver-white energy that manifested within his body.
Once the wisps of that energy flowed into one of the immense and exceedingly towering, hazy images of werewolf in his dantian, the dark and murky area of the image where the energy impacted and penetrated into became slightly illuminated. However, the illumination that it achieved was totally insignificant, as it was like going into a massive world engulfed by a heavy and thick, jet-black darkness with a wood burning with fire to see around.
Seeing that the particular, dark foggy image of a werewolf that he focused on would require tremendously large amount of that silver-white energy to cause just a small part of it to become clear and solid, Xiao Lin began to apply more effort into gathering more energy for infusion.
So, he continued to channel wisps of silver-white energy as it appeared in his body into that image. And this he did till morning.
Once morning arrived, Xiao Lin quickly stood to his feet to go the window and shut them. He then pulled the curtains to close them too.
Immediately he did that, he returned to where he stood up from and sat back in the cross-legged position once again.
He then brought out all the spatial rings that he took from those students and began to form them into different, large heaps of resources.
When he was gathering them into a few large heaps of cultivation resources and treasures, he nodded his head with a smile appearing in his face.
"Time to take my cultivation base to the next one or two stages" He said with a solid, unbreakable determination in his heart.
He then began to randomly pick consumable spiritual herbs, fruits, flowers, lotuses and leaves from the large heaps of Spiritual Cultivation Resources gathered in front of him which he took straight into his mouth to either bite or chew before swallowing them down to his stomach.
And once the chewed, edible spiritual items got to his stomach, they instantly melted and turned into Spiritual Energy which Xiao Lin began to refine using the divine-grade technique called Spiritual Refinement Conversion technique from the Primordial Heretic Force spiritual cultivation art.
So, with the powerful, divine-tier technique, he was able to rapidly refine all the Spiritual Energies that he was able to accumulate within himself from the tremendous consumption of those Spiritual Cultivation resources and fully transform them into his usual dark-colored, greatly intimidating and immensely subduing, fiercely strong Spiritual Energy.
After cultivating diligently and zealously from morning till 8pm in the night, he was able to break through into the 9th-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage from the 7th-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage. Although he was already halfway through to breaking into the 8th-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage. But now that he boosted his cultivation practice from the heavy consumption of those consumable spiritual items, he was able to break through into the 8th-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage and finally into the 9th-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage.
So, when he stopped cultivating some moments later as night had arrived, he stowed away all the remaining items that he hadn't used back into his spatial ring.
However, there were a few rings that he didn't touch, as he wanted to give them to Nine Calamities, which would be his own contribution to the growth and development of the bandit group.
After sorting out things and organizing himself well, he set out of his room to leave the inn.
Immediately he appeared in the street in a new hooded robe that he stole many days ago before coming here, he entered into a carriage to take him back to the area where the Blackheart forest was located which was really far away from here.
When the carriage finally appeared in that area two hours later after moving at very high speed, Xiao Lin silently came out from within the carriage like a ghost so that he won't pay a single dime and then instantly shot off using his Super Speed ability coupled with the Blood Entity Normal Steps from the Illusionary Vampire Unstoppable Godly Steps movement art to quickly leave the area and appear in the forest.
Now, he was too fast that he might possibly, greatly outrun a 1st-layer Mortal Spiritual stage cultivator.
When he arrived in the forest, he stopped running and began to move to the heart of the forest where the castle was located.
When he arrived there, he met some bandits outside.
They were busy training with their weapons as they could be seen slashing and hacking at an imaginary opponent.
Xiao Lin only nodded his head at them and then went in to go see Nine Calamities in his room.
But as he left, the bandits who he met outside were looking at Xiao Lin as he walked away with shock in their faces.
"The hell did Bloodfang cultivate up to the ninth-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage? Wasn't he previously at the fifth-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage?" One couldn't help but ask the others around him.
"I don't know too. But I believe that he probably came across a marveling cultivation item when he left the castle on his own self-given mission to contribute to the growth of our group." Another said.
"This guy is really fortunate. But he is growing too fast for my liking. I have a feeling that things might change around here very soon, if he continues with this pace that he is growing at." One said while the others nodded.
Then they began to talk about other random things.
When Xiao Lin arrived at Nine Calamities's room, he knocked once with Nine Calamities's voice ringing out," Coming on, Bloodfang"
Xiao Lin then opened the door and then went in.
Once he got in, he entered into a bow and then straightened himself back in the next moment.
He then said "Master Nine Calamities, I have returned from my self-given task. And I bring you wonderful items that I obtained from my task which would be my own contribution to the growth of our bandit group."
Immediately he said that, he produced nine spatial rings from his spatial ring which he dropped on the table before Nine Calamities.
Nine Calamities then took the rings one after the other to see what was contained within them. When he finished going through their contents, he said with a smile in his face "You have done well, Bloodfang."
Then he said further with that smile still in his face "Congrats on breaking into the ninth-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage. I can see that you have a good cultivation future ahead of you. Just continue with this pace that you are growing at, and the sky shall become your stepping stone into the universal seat of power"
Xiao Lin bowed and then said "Thank you, Master Nine Calamities"
Nine Calamities nodded his head.
He then asked with his brows furrowed "Now, Bloodfang, do you think that you are up for any individual or group, evening and night tasks that I will assign for you to carry out?"
