Fiery Fire True Monarch said, full of admiration.

He cultivated the Tai Li Fire Talisman Scripture, had once refined an incredibly powerful True Fire, and was an expert in the Artifact Refining Skill.

Two days ago, when Fiery Fire True Monarch saw the Five Fire Gourd spew Five Fire Divine Thunder and scatter the Tribulation Thunder in the sky, he thought he was dreaming.

Yang Jing had actually managed to refine a Divine Prohibition into a Magical Treasure. Such an accomplishment was truly unheard of.

"You flatter me, True Monarch. I only managed to complete the refining of this Magical Treasure by borrowing the power of the Profound Pure Sect’s Immortal Vine Gourd."

Fiery Fire True Monarch shook his head. He had long been extremely interested in the various gourds sold by the True Spirit Lineage and had even once broken through the various anti-counterfeiting measures set up by Ji Feng.

From the first Jia Wood Gourd to the current Five Fire Gourd, Yang Jing’s progress was truly astonishing.

Bai Shui True Monarch was not skilled in the Artifact Refining Skill, so she was not as shocked as Fiery Fire True Monarch. She offered a few words of encouragement to Yang Jing, then put a box of apricot blossom cakes made by Yellow Foot into her Storage Bag.

"Yang Jing, within the Sect, your Artifact Refining Technique is likely second only to Fiery Fire’s. In the coming days, a ceaseless stream of people will surely come to you seeking Artifact Refining. However, you must prioritize your Cultivation. If you don’t want to refine artifacts for others, just use my name and Fiery Fire’s."

Her voice was somewhat cool as she took a Pill Bottle from her Storage Bag and placed it on the table.

"This pill is called the Jinhua Pill. A single one can increase a Golden Core Cultivator’s Cultivation by nearly twelve years."

Within the Five Elements True Spirit Sect, there weren’t many elixirs capable of raising one’s Golden Core Cultivation, and the Jinhua Pill was of the Uppermost Grade among them.

If one was taken every three years, not only would there be no Elixir Poison, but in addition to raising one’s Cultivation, it could even slightly improve the quality of one’s Golden Core.

Even the Five Elements True Spirit Sect had to spend twenty to thirty years gathering all the necessary Spirit Medicines to refine a single batch. The right to distribute these pills was in the hands of the Three Halls’ Hall Masters. Ordinary Golden Core Cultivators within the Sect often had to wait a hundred years just to be able to trade for a single pill.

Yang Jing saw that there were a full five pills in the Pill Bottle.

"Thank you for your generous gift, Bai Shui True Monarch."

Only after the two True Monarchs had left did Yang Jing put away the Jinhua Pills with satisfaction.

Five Jinhua Pills wouldn’t be enough to build a tolerance, and they would save him sixty years of cultivation.

"Master, when the Five Fire Gourd was undergoing its Spirit Treasure Tribulation, it attracted a lot of people. But the two True Monarchs drove them all away afterward,"

Iron Head said to Yang Jing.

Yang Jing felt a pang of regret. ’Those people could have all been my future customers!’ Bai Shui True Monarch had been worried they would disturb Yang Jing’s Cultivation, but she didn’t know that Yang Jing could simply have Ji Feng handle them.

He took a Jade Scroll from his robes and handed it to Ji Feng.

"This is the Five Fire Gourd’s Refining Atlas that I comprehended. All the Restrictions are recorded on it. Take it and study it. If there’s anything you don’t understand, come and ask me."

Seeing Ji Feng’s overjoyed expression, the guilt in Yang Jing’s heart lessened slightly.

"How are those Outer Disciples who are cultivating the Blood Spirit Scripture? Did they run into any problems during their Cultivation?" he asked Iron Head.

While he was in seclusion for Artifact Refining, Yang Jing had put Iron Head in charge of managing these Outer Disciples.

"Master, their Cultivation speed isn’t slow. The fastest among them has already reached the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation. I have recorded all the problems they encountered during their Cultivation on this Jade Scroll."

Yang Jing took the Jade Scroll and nodded in satisfaction after reading its contents.

Although these Cultivators were progressing faster than starting from scratch because they had Abandoned their Cultivation to Re-Cultivate, reaching the Fifth Layer of Qi Cultivation so quickly showed that they had not slacked off in the slightest.

As for the problems they reported, they were all minor. With a stir of his Divine Sense, he finished making annotations and returned the scroll to Iron Head.

"Give each of the first nine Outer Disciples three Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pills to help them reach Qi Cultivation Perfection sooner. If there are no issues when those nine attempt their Foundation Establishment, then Chi Yu can start cultivating this technique."

To Cultivators of the Blood Spirit Scripture, the Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pill was a divine pill for advancing one’s Cultivation.

In the Early Stage of Qi Cultivation, a single Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pill was enough to raise one’s Cultivation by two layers. Even in the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation, it could directly raise one’s Cultivation by one layer.

However, Yang Jing had them test the Blood Spirit Scripture precisely to see if they would encounter any obstacles during Foundation Establishment.

A Cultivation base forcibly raised with Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pills would have an extremely shallow foundation, making it naturally impossible to succeed in Foundation Establishment. It would only be a waste of his Foundation Establishment Pills.

But since these Outer Disciples had already cultivated conscientiously to the Middle Stage of Qi Cultivation, he could now tentatively use the Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pills to raise their Cultivation.

Not long after coming out of seclusion, Yang Jing merely gave some pointers to his five disciples on their cultivation, checked the True Spirit Lineage’s profits, and sampled some Spiritual Food made by Yellow Foot before returning to his Quiet Chamber to enter seclusion once more.

With the Five Fire Gourd complete, he planned to recover his Magical Power and then attempt to summon an Outer Celestial Demon.

Yang Jing’s foundation was so profound that it took him a full seven days to completely restore his Magical Power. Once he felt the Magical Power in his Dantian return to its peak, his figure flickered and appeared within his Inner World.

This time, he didn’t appear on the surface but in the subterranean world suffused with Yin Qi.

The Celestial Demon that had been imprisoned here had long since been completely refined into Magical Power by Yang Jing. Now, the sunless Yin Qi World was dim and devoid of any living beings.

He tipped over the Storage Bag in his hand, and a pile of Array Banners tumbled out.

Besides Spiritual Qi, the most crucial component for a Demon Array was someone to hold the Demon Banners. The Spiritual Qi could be supplied by Spirit Stones, but finding someone to hold the banners was more difficult.

The Demon Summoning Technique was an extreme taboo among the Six Sects. If word got out, not even Yang Jing’s status as a True Disciple could protect him. Although the Noble Families were currently fawning over him, if they learned of this weakness, they would absolutely attack at once, trying to cast him into a pit from which he could never recover.

But of course, Yang Jing was not unprepared. In fact, he had long ago decided who would preside over the Demon Array.

He took a Jade Bottle from his Storage Bag and opened the Restriction on it.

Soon, wisps of Demonic Qi began to escape from the bottle.

Yang Jing sliced his finger open with a strand of Sword Qi, squeezed out a drop of blood, and drew a Demon Summoning magic array on the ground where the Yin Qi was spreading.

He possessed quite a few Demon Summoning Techniques, some taken from the True Disciples of the Four Demon Sects, and others found in the ruins of a Cave Mansion from the Nine Yang Sect.

The Array on the ground originated from the Dark Spring Demon Sect. He had once traded for this Array from Wei Ying, and it was identical to the one he had obtained from the Dark Spring Demon Sect’s True Disciple.

Yang Jing decided to use this Array for the Demon Summoning.

He casually placed three Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pills on the Magic Array, then began to chant the Demon Summoning Magic Spell.

The tongue-twisting, bizarre Demon Summoning Magic Spell echoed through the Yin Land, creating an unspeakably eerie atmosphere.

A moment later, a reaction of Demonic Qi began to surge from the Magic Array. A Celestial Demon from the Outer Realm had responded.

Soon, a small Mixed Cave appeared above the Array.

Two massive ox horns extended into the Yin Land first, followed by a huge ox head.

An Ox Power Demon had been summoned into the Inner World. The moment it set foot inside, it eagerly snatched the Nine Revolutions Red Blood Pills from the Magic Array and stuffed them whole into its mouth.

"What fragrant pills! Such abundant Blood Qi! Daoist, who do you want dead? Give me three more of these, and I’ll kill ’em for you."

The Ox Power Demon’s eyes glinted with cunning as it spoke to Yang Jing.

The aura around Yang Jing suddenly changed.

"Beast. Have you forgotten who I am?"

The moment the Ox Power Demon sensed the aura, its knees went weak, and it collapsed to the ground.

"Great King, it’s you, Great King! Great King, how did you end up looking like this?!"

It wailed, tears streaming down its face, and threw its arms around Yang Jing’s thigh.

"SOB... We returned to the Outer Realm and waited and waited, but you never came back, Great King! We thought you’d been secretly murdered by those bastards from the Eastern Demon Sect!"
