Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

"Then, I shall take my leave!"

Huai Xuanling glanced deeply at Shangguan Lingxiu, repressed the killing intent in his heart, and transformed into an Escape Light, flying towards the direction of the Ghost Sect.

"Follow me!"

Shangguan Lingxiu flew towards the direction of the Beast Taming Sect.

Nangong Shiyao obediently followed behind Shangguan Lingxiu, and they arrived in the depths of the Beast Taming Sect, inside Zhao Yu's cave mansion.

Upon seeing Zhao Yu, Nangong Shiyao bowed gracefully and said in a gentle and soft tone, "I greet Senior Zhao!"

Zhao Yu looked deeply at Nangong Shiyao and thought to himself, "She truly is a beauty. Even though she has not used any Bewitching Technique, she is still stunningly gorgeous and full of charm."

Nangong Shiyao naturally did not dare to deploy any Bewitching Technique in front of Zhao Yu, as that might lead him to suspect ill intentions and possibly kill her outright.

Zhao Yu said, "Nangong Shiyao, you mentioned that you have important information concerning Nascent Soul condensation to share with me. What exactly is this information?"

With a serious expression, Nangong Shiyao said, "This matter is of great importance, please ask your people to leave."

"My lord husband, your concubine is going to cultivate!"

Shangguan Lingxiu smiled gracefully, stood up, and walked out.

Zhao Yu waved his hand, and all the beautiful maids and servants also withdrew.

"Senior, here is a secret technique from the Thousand Mysteries Sect that can increase the chance of condensing a Nascent Soul by fifty percent!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Nangong Shiyao, carrying a whiff of fragrance and lightly moving like a lotus, approached Zhao Yu and presented a jade slip.

After Zhao Yu scanned the jade slip with his Divine Sense, he first felt joy, then his brows slightly furrowed as he said, "The most challenging aspect of this Spirit Gathering True Mystery Technique is the need to find a female cultivator with a Phoenix Spirit Mysterious Yin Body. Such a woman is one in ten thousand. Could it be that you possess this physique?"

Nangong Shiyao bowed gracefully and said, "Senior is wise. I indeed possess the Phoenix Spirit Mysterious Yin Body. As long as Senior is willing to accept me as your servant concubine, I am willing to be your crucible."

Zhao Yu chuckled lightly and said, "You are indeed clever! From this day on, you are my servant concubine."

As Nangong Shiyao had stated, the Spirit Gathering True Mystery Technique could indeed increase the chances of advancing to Nascent Soul by fifty percent. However, this required Nangong Shiyao to also achieve the Golden Core stage and maintain her Primordial Yin Body for the effect to occur.

If Zhao Yu wanted to use Nangong Shiyao as a crucible to enhance his chance of Nascent Soul condensation, he must cultivate her into a Golden Core cultivator, and the higher her Cultivation Level, the better the effect of the Spirit Gathering True Mystery Technique would be.

With a charming smile, Nangong Shiyao said, "Yes, lord husband!"

After Zhao Yu introduced Nangong Shiyao to the others, he returned to the Quiet Room.

Zhao Yu took out the corpse of a Third-Order Dragon Dog commanded by Yuwen Zhenming and laid it in front of the Red Emperor, saying, "Nangong Shiyao is a true successor of the Thousand Mysteries Sect, and the Ghost Sect will surely not let her go. I must prepare early! Red Emperor, devour it!"

The Red Emperor opened its massive maw and ferociously bit down, beginning to devour the Crimson Flame Dragon Dog.

"That will do!"

Zhao Yu saw that the conditions were ripe and directly chose to enhance the quality of the Red Emperor.

The body of the Red Emperor trembled, enveloped in a crimson flame. Faint traces of flame spiritual patterns emerged beneath its scales, and its aura became even more terrifying.

"Red Emperor."

"Bloodline Quality: Medium (0/10000)."

Zhao Yu's lips slightly curled up, revealing a hint of a smile, "After the promotion of the Red Emperor's bloodline quality, its combat ability surged tremendously. Even the White Ghost Emperor might not be its match."

Although the White Ghost Emperor had awakened many innate abilities and its combat power was astonishingly high, as a ghost creature, it was naturally suppressed by beasts associated with thunder and fire.

With a trace of True Dragon bloodline, after the ascent of its bloodline quality, the power of the Red Emperor's Dragon Flame could reach new heights. If its bloodline could elevate to high-grade, its Dragon Flame would easily vaporize Mysterious Blue Real Water.

After the Red Emperor's quality was raised to medium, Zhao Yu remained in the Quiet Room, stirring up the Dao Fruit, striving to enhance the Red Emperor's cultivation level.

The Beast Taming Sect, being the premier beast taming sect of the northern deserts, had countless miraculous elixirs and heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could boost the cultivation of demonic beasts.

Those heavenly materials and earthly treasures initially had limited effect on the third-order Red Emperor, but under the power of the Dao Fruit consumed by Zhao Yu, they absorbed the essence of those materials, rapidly increasing the cultivation of the Red Emperor.

A month later, a dark ghost wind blew from afar. You Tianming, the Sect Master of the Ghost Sect, appeared from within the ghost wind, his eyes coldly fixed on the distant Beast Taming Sect as he loudly said, "Ghost Sect's You Tianming is here. I request Sect Master Zhao of Little Spirit Mountain to come and speak!"

A streak of Escape Light flew out from the Beast Taming Sect, revealing Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu smiled slightly and said, "Brother You, may I ask the reason for your visit this time?"

You Tianming said, "Nangong Shiyao of Thousand Mysteries Sect, a remnant, has killed many disciples of my Ghost Sect. I beseech you, Brother Zhao, to do me a favor by handing her over to me, and I will certainly repay you generously!"

Zhao Yu said, "Brother You, Nangong Shiyao is now my concubine. I ask you to do me a favor and let's drop this matter, shall we?"

You Tianming spoke slowly, "Brother Zhao, Nangong Shiyao is someone I must have. Why should you harm our relations between the Ghost Sect and Dan Ling Sect over a mere woman? Here's a proposal: If you hand over Nangong Shiyao, you may choose ten female disciples from many in my Ghost Sect!"

Zhao Yu said, "Brother You, Nangong Shiyao is my concubine, how could any other woman compare to her? How about this, let's follow the rules of the Cultivation World and decide the outcome by Magical Combat. One month from now, atop Yunlong Mountain, the two of us will settle this matter through combat."

"Yuwen Zhenming, although he is not difficult to defeat, trying to kill him would require me to use my most secretive techniques! If Nangong Shiyao were merely a remnant of Thousand Mysteries Sect, I might have let it be, but unfortunately, she possesses the Phoenix Spirit Mysterious Yin Body.

If I could harvest her true yin, I could advance to the mid-stage Golden Core and even have a chance at Condensing Nascent Soul!"

You Tianming's gaze flickered slightly, then settled into a steely resolve as he pointed towards the northwest and said, "Since we are to decide the winner through combat, why pick another day? Let's head to Lingfeng Mountain summit and determine the victor!"

Those who knew the particulars of Zhao Yu's battle with Yuwen Zhenming were sworn to secrecy by Zhao Yu, and the ordinary cultivators only knew that Yuwen Zhenming was tragically killed by Zhao Yu, without knowing the specifics of his death.

If You Tianming knew that Yuwen Zhenming died being surrounded and killed by several third-order monsters, he would have been even more cautious.

"Very well!"

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and transformed into a streak of Escape Light, flying towards the summit of Lingfeng Mountain.

No sooner had the two arrived at the summit of Lingfeng Mountain than You Tianming slapped the Ghost Nurturing Jar at his waist, releasing a surge of pitch-black ghost qi. From it, a third-order low-grade ghost as long as thirty feet with spikes covering its body and a fierce appearance flew out.

Zhao Yu slapped his Ghost Nurturing Jar, and a surge of black qi roiled as the White Ghost Emperor flew out, its face similarly fierce as it faced the opponent's ghost.
