Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, Yang Che couldn't figure out anything.
He guessed that perhaps this was some Spirit Beast egg cultivated by that Giant Man?
Since he couldn't figure it out for the time being, he put the strange cloth and the insect egg back into the spirit beast bag.
And what was contained in these bottles and jars were all Spirit Beast rations, which were of no value to Yang Che.
Picking up the Controlling Beasts Scripture and flipping through it, Yang Che found it quite interesting.
As the name suggests, this is a Cultivation Technique that teaches Cultivators how to control beasts.
Not only that, but the attached pages even contained a 'List of Strange Birds, Strange Beasts, and Strange Insects', which listed many strange insects and exotic beasts in this world, truly broadening Yang Che's horizons.
If one could obtain these strange insects and exotic beasts and Cultivate them from a young age, they would be an incredible aid.
However, Yang Che currently had no energy to bother with these.
Besides wanting to focus on Cultivating and improving his Realm, what he most wanted now was to accumulate Spirit Stones.
Adding the newly acquired twenty-plus Spirit Stones to the forty-plus Spirit Stones remaining from selling medicinal herbs, Yang Che now had a total of about seventy Spirit Stones, but they were all Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
And thinking that a complete book of incantations would cost fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones, Yang Che immediately felt that he was still extremely poor.
Putting away these items, Yang Che secretly decided not to leave Wulong Valley until he Breakthrough to Qi Refinement Stage Level Nine and the first nine-leaf dark yang fruit matured, to avoid similar incidents from happening again.
While he still had over a dozen bottles of Eight Treasures Pill, Yang Che once again entered the mode of 'ignoring worldly affairs and single-mindedly Cultivating to become a carefree Immortal'.
Soon, half a year passed in a flash.
At nineteen years old, after consuming nearly seven bottles of Eight Treasures Pill in one go, Yang Che finally advanced to Qi Refinement Stage Level Nine.
From Qi Refining Level Eight to Level Nine, this level of Cultivation consumed the most Eight Treasures Pill for Yang Che, but the time spent was not long.
This was because this time, he spent all his time on Cultivation, without wasting a single bit.
After Breakthrough to Qi Refining Level Nine, Yang Che was pleasantly surprised to find that his senses had been elevated to an incredibly astonishing Realm.
Within a radius of two hundred feet, he could clearly perceive any slight sound.
For example, at this moment, he could clearly hear the sound of an earthworm burrowing in the soil two hundred feet away.
The scene of a moth fighting a spider on the ancient tree could appear in his mind without any discrepancy.
Besides that, Yang Che felt his spirit was more invigorated, and his body became much lighter again; he estimated that even if he didn't sleep or eat for ten days to half a month, he wouldn't feel any fatigue or hunger.
However, Yang Che still got up and walked into the kitchen to make himself a delicious dinner for a small celebration.
Scallion pancakes with vegetables, and he also cooked a loofah soup.
Yang Che half-lay on the rattan chair in the front yard, watching the sunset glow, eating vegetable scallion pancakes and drinking loofah soup, feeling incredibly comfortable and happy.
Yes, if one could live forever and always have such comfort and freedom, how wonderful would that be.
Therefore, even though it was said that Mutated Dual Immortal Roots could not Foundation Establishment, Yang Che did not feel the slightest bit discouraged.
Because in the ancient Immortal Cultivation era, his Immortal Root Aptitude was considered 'Heaven's Chosen Aptitude', so it was absolutely impossible for there to be no solution in the current Immortal Cultivation era.
Yang Che had hinted to himself countless times that there would definitely be a way to Foundation Establishment.
He had long since found out that as long as his Realm advanced to Qi Refining Level Twelve, he could start taking Foundation Establishment Pill to attempt Foundation Establishment.
If one Foundation Establishment Pill didn't work, then two; if two didn't work, then five, ten, or even a hundred...
This was Yang Che's grand aspiration.
No difficulty could defeat him.
After dinner, Yang Che went to the nursery again to carefully check, looking at the first nine-leaf dark yang fruit that had already turned faintly black, his heart filled with excitement.
He had once eaten such a fruit, and that time his body was cleansed, and his Aptitude was thoroughly improved.
And now, if he were to eat another one, what benefits would his body gain?
Yang Che was naturally very much looking forward to it.
Walking back to the front yard, he lightly patted his Storage Pouch, and the Meteor Box floated before him.
Compared to before, his Divine Sense had almost doubled, so Yang Che was also somewhat eager to try how many Flying Fire Needles he could control simultaneously now.
He started increasing from seventy-two.
It easily increased to one hundred and eight.
It only became incredibly difficult after one hundred and forty-four.
However, with Yang Che's full effort, he found that he could barely control a maximum of one hundred and fifty-eight Flying Fire Needles simultaneously.
This made Yang Che extremely happy.
Originally, he thought being able to control one hundred and forty-four Flying Fire Needles simultaneously was already quite satisfactory, but he never expected to be able to increase it to one hundred and fifty-eight.
One must know that a mere one hundred and forty-four Flying Fire Needles could not only form a 'Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formation', which was currently the most powerful he could control, but also advance into scattered combinations.
Such as being divided into four small Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formations, each consisting of thirty-six Flying Fire Needles.
Or divided into two medium Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formations, each consisting of seventy-two Flying Fire Needles.
In addition, controlling another fourteen Flying Fire Needles to ambush secretly could play a very significant surprise attack role.
It seems that after advancing to Qi Refining Level Nine, there was indeed a considerable leap.
If he advanced to 'Qi Refining Level Ten', which Senior Brother Situ Yu said would bring about a complete transformation, what kind of surprise would that bring?
Yang Che felt incredibly excited just thinking about it.
Moreover, Yang Che increasingly felt that he had only learned the basics of this 'Tai Xuan Hidden Light Formation' and had not fully unleashed its powerful Divine Might.
However, all of this required time to slowly continue researching.
Putting away the Flying Fire Meteor, Yang Che took out a Talisman.
It was the Talisman that the tall, thin young man at Qi Refining Level Ten had taken out at the end but didn't have time to activate.
Comparing it to the incomplete Five Elements Incantation, Yang Che found that this Talisman was actually an Elementary High-Grade 'Wind Spear Talisman'.
Although it was not made by a Great Master Talisman Maker, but merely by an ordinary Talisman Maker, it was still worth nearly fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones, making it a rare wind-attribute offensive Talisman that could be used multiple times.
Yang Che beamed with joy; this Elementary High-Grade Talisman was truly a good item.
After activating this Talisman, the power of the wind spear formed was comparable to a full-force strike from a Cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refinement Stage.
Putting away this Wind Spear Talisman, Yang Che continued to study 'Fireball Technique' for a while.
This Spell was extremely versatile, and according to Senior Brother Situ Yu from the Scripture Imparting Pavilion, the use of Fireball Technique could be made flexible and varied, instantly cast at will.
And its power would increase with the improvement of one's personal Cultivation strength.
Furthermore, after mastering this Fireball Technique, one could directly and automatically comprehend the Intermediate Spell 'Fire Snake Technique'.
Yang Che practiced for a long time and found that this 'Fireball Technique' indeed had many variations.
If only half of the Fireball Technique was cast and kept in the palm, it could actually be used as a weapon.
After discovering the various flexible changes of Fireball Technique, Yang Che had a sudden idea: could 'Ice Arrow Technique' also be used in this manner?
So, Yang Che then repeatedly practiced.
Sure enough, he found that Ice Arrow Technique could also be freely transformed as needed.
In his excitement, Yang Che actually practiced Spells all night until dawn the next day, still full of energy.
Afterward, Yang Che took out the Heaven and Earth Chaos Art and continued to study it.
One day later.
Yang Che stepped on his flying Magical Artifact and arrived at the Spirit Medicine Garden.
This was his first time coming to the Spirit Medicine Garden since entering Wulong Valley.
