For a long time, Zhao Haifeng finally calmed down and stood silently beside Qin Wang.
"From now on, you will be called Zhao Hunyi!"
Qin Wang looked at Zhao Haifeng with satisfaction in his eyes.
At this moment, Zhao Haifeng's consciousness had been devoured and absorbed by the soul seed. His body was now controlled by the soul seed, requiring only Qin Wang's divine sense to control every move of 'Zhao Hunyi'.
"Yes, master!"
Zhao Hunyi respectfully saluted Qin Wang, his voice low.
"Not bad!"
Qin Wang examined Zhao Hunyi and nodded in satisfaction.
"Ah..."
Qin Wang turned to look at Mo Yunyan, Ye Jianhong, and Zhang Yunyou lying on the ground, sighing. The three were immobilized due to poison, two had been castrated, and one had his toe bones dug out by Zhao Haifeng, bleeding excessively. Without Qin Wang needing to intervene, they were likely close to death.
"Friend Qin, give me a quick death. Please."
Mo Yunyan's face showed a painful expression as she pleaded.
Ye Jianhong and Zhang Yunyou were equally lifeless.
"Fine, I'll send you on your way!"
"Remember, don't get into trouble in your next life."
Qin Wang spoke lightly. Three bursts of flame spells shot out and enveloped the three, turning them into three piles of ashes in no time.
Qin Wang disposed of the ashes on the scene and then left with Zhao Hunyi.
Ten miles away from Baishi Mountain.
In a grove.
"Zhao Hunyi, kill that rhinoceros monster!"
Qin Wang ordered Zhao Hunyi who stood beside him.
According to the method of refining soul seeds, the soul seed had absorbed Zhao Haifeng's soul to strengthen itself, gaining his cultivation techniques and spells from his lifetime. It could even enhance its cultivation through practice.
"Yes, master!"
Zhao Hunyi's figure flickered, and the magic sword in his hand unleashed a blazing white sword aura, slashing towards the rhinoceros monster comparable to the fourth level of Qi Refining Stage. Zhao Haifeng had a cultivation level of at least the sixth level of Qi Refining Stage during his lifetime, so killing this rhinoceros monster was easy.
"Moo~~"
The rhinoceros monster emitted a mournful cry and fell to the ground, dead.
"With Zhao Hunyi assisting me, future actions will be much more convenient."
Qin Wang watched Zhao Hunyi's actions with satisfaction.
"Huh? Is this... a spirit beast bag?"
Qin Wang probed with his divine sense into the green bag he obtained from Zhao Haifeng's embrace and immediately saw a space inside, similar in size to a storage bag. Inside was a three-foot bamboo basket filled with thick hay, along with spirit fruits and dried fruits.
Clearly, this was where the white mouse lived.
"Jackpot!"
"This trip wasn't in vain!"
Qin Wang used his divine sense to open the storage bags of Zhao Haifeng, Zhang Yunyou, Mo Yunyan, and Ye Jianhong one by one, finding 880 pieces of spirit stones! 26 bottles of spirit pills such as Yueling Pill, Buqi Pill, Cuiti Pill, and a pile of various other materials, as well as four low-grade magic weapons.
There was also a white jade mouse.
"Returning to the city to improve cultivation proficiency."
Qin Wang gathered the rhinoceros monster and prepared to go back to stew the rhino meat. He beckoned Zhao Hunyi to return to the city. Currently, he had more than 2,500 spirit stones left. Improving his own cultivation was the priority.
"Huh?"
"Friend Qin? What a coincidence!"
Upon returning to Dongcheng East, just as Qin Wang stepped through the city gate, he heard a somewhat familiar voice. Following the sound, Qin Wang saw a shabbily dressed youth. Wasn't this Li Qiyue?
"Friend Li!"
"You're also here, what a coincidence!"
Qin Wang greeted Li Qiyue, although he had already learned from intelligence reports that Li Qiyue had come to Qingyun Immortal City.
"Friend Qin, would you like to venture into the mountains together sometime?"
After some small talk, Li Qiyue, who lived in Dengxian Garden No. 222, invited Qin Wang to venture into the mountains together when the opportunity arose.
"No problem!"
Qin Wang nodded.
In courtyard No. 168.
"Go buy some Lingyuan Pill, Guyuan Pill, and Jufa Pill to try them out!"
Qin Wang looked at the two Lingstones that turned into ashes in his hands, pondering.
After reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining Stage, advancing to the eighth level required 7,000 proficiency points. However, as his cultivation improved, absorbing one Lingstone now only increased proficiency by 6 points.
He remembered.
When advancing from the second to the third level of Qi Refining Stage, one Lingstone could increase proficiency by 18 points.
At this rate, advancing to the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage would require at least 1,167 Lingstones.
Although Qin Wang currently had more than 2,500 Lingstones, maximizing benefits was still necessary!
He still had a treasure bowl that could refine elixirs.
Thinking up to here.
Qin Wang got up, locked the door, and headed towards the Spirit Pill Pavilion.
The Spirit Pill Pavilion was the property of the Situ Family in Qingyun Immortal City, specializing in the sale of elixirs and materials for Qi Refining Stage cultivators. There were branches in the main city of Qingyun Immortal City and the four major suburbs.
The Situ Family monopolized over 80% of the elixir business in Qingyun Immortal City.
In Dongcheng East, the Spirit Pill Pavilion covered dozens of acres and was three stories high.
The first floor was accessible to Qi Refining Stage cultivators.
Specializing in selling elixirs for Qi Refining Stage cultivators and various materials for refining Qi Refining Stage, the second floor was for Foundation Building Stage cultivators, and the third floor was for Gold Core Stage elders.
Lingyuan Pill costs 4 Lingstones each.
Guyuan Pill and Jufa Pill cost 5 Lingstones each.
At the Spirit Pill Pavilion, Qin Wang bought five Lingyuan Pills, five Guyuan Pills, and five Jufa Pills, consuming 70 Lingstones. He didn't dare to buy too many, being cautious was right.
Returning to Courtyard No. 168, Qin Wang threw all three types of pills into the treasure bowl to purify and refine them.
"Still need more elixirs!"
At night, Qin Wang took out the three pills and tested them one by one, obtaining the results.
One Lingyuan Pill could increase proficiency by 24 points, while each Guyuan Pill and Jufa Pill could increase proficiency by 30 points.
"By this calculation, absorbing refined elixirs and absorbing Lingstones cost about the same, but absorbing refined elixirs is more convenient."
Qin Wang calculated silently in his heart. To advance to the eighth level of Qi Refining Stage, he needed 1,167 Lingstones through absorption, but he only needed about 233 Guyuan Ling Pills to max out his proficiency.
In comparison.
Qin Wang decided to buy more elixirs.
[Daily intelligence refresh!]

[10: You glanced at the yellowed jade slip yesterday, gaining intelligence. The talented sword cultivator from the Five Sword Domains has been trapped for too long, weakening his divine soul. With a divine sense probe, you might gain something.]
"This white jade mouse, a rare hidden spirit-seeking mouse? With a mysterious bloodline and extraordinary origins?"
"Or is it a runaway mouse from home?"
Qin Wang looked at the second and third pieces of intelligence, surprised.
"Li Qiyue has another stroke of luck?"
Looking at the fifth piece of intelligence, Qin Wang couldn't help but shake his head. Li Qiyue was indeed lucky.
"The yellowed jade slip... probing with divine sense might yield something?"
Qin Wang looked at the tenth piece of intelligence, feeling intrigued.
Previously, he didn't dare to probe with divine sense because he knew from intelligence that there was a mysterious remnant soul. If it tried to take over his body, wouldn't that be disastrous?
Now with this intelligence, it was time to take a look.
