Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear

Say it and do it.

He stepped forward and grabbed a Level 9 little wild chicken with decent attributes. This thing didn't even dare to struggle to escape, and the flock only stirred slightly.

However, those Mantis Blade Masters and Gray Mouse Knights revealed a longing gaze; they also wanted to eat chicken, not dry locusts!

Well, you don't have this fortune.

"I need a little fire first."

Wang Wu first twisted the neck of the little wild chicken without plucking its feathers; with a thought, a flame ignited in his bear claw. But this flame was very tame, able to rotate with his claw. Even if it burned the chicken's feathers, it was not out of control.

No, in fact, it only initially burned a few of the chicken's feathers. As Wang Wu quickly mastered the knack, this flame began to burn within the flesh of the little wild chicken without damaging it.

If this were a mortal fire, it couldn't achieve this no matter what.

But this is a spiritual fire, transformed from Red Flame Spiritual Qi. Though called a flame, it is actually a higher quality energy.

Initially, Wang Wu tried to turn the little wild chicken but later found it completely unnecessary.

He just needed to precisely control the Red Flame Spiritual Qi.

And as the Red Flame Spiritual Qi was consumed, he continued to replenish it.

In total, he consumed 50 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi before he felt it reached the right level; he didn't have a definite standard—just the saturation of the Red Flame Spiritual Qi.

At first, everything needed to be explored.

However, Wang Wu doubted whether this method was effective because he didn't smell any aroma as if all the essence was locked in.

And the one locking this essence was precisely this Red Flame Spiritual Qi.

"So, Old Niu, your description in this regard was not entirely accurate."

"The wonderful uses of Spirit Root, only those who use it would know."

Although Wang Wu hadn't tasted it, he could already tell that the taste and spirit effect of this little wild chicken would be greatly enhanced.

Speaking of which, I wonder how Old Niu and the Little Wild Boar are doing?

Yesterday's battle was so fierce, even if Old Niu and the Little Wild Boar didn't participate, their families certainly did, especially that Big Black Bull, almost cut from the same mold as Old Niu. Who knows if it was the Black Mountain King himself or his only heir?

If it's the former, so be it; if it's the latter, Old Niu might have a chance to compete as the sole heir of the Black Mountain King.

After all, the current Old Niu is about to reach the Seventh Grade, and with the Companion Spirit Vine at the Seventh Grade, he's quite competitive.

Thinking this way, Wang Wu gently shook the little wild chicken in his claw, and all the feathers fell like dandelions, beautifully; it didn't look like a cooked chicken at all—aside from the broken neck, it was lifelike in every other aspect.

Well then, let's enjoy it.

Wang Wu opened his massive jaws and gobbled it up in three bites, leaving nothing behind—not even the bones.

However, he didn't taste any fragrance, any human, or bear, any flavor that would make his taste buds cheer—there was none.

But it wasn't as dry as a bare chicken either.

How to describe it?

Wang Wu was savoring the taste when suddenly, without warning, he burped, and a flame burst out of his mouth and nose, as if his stomach had exploded.

Waves of heat surged, like a volcanic eruption, roaring, raging, and raging!

It lasted for three seconds until Wang Wu recovered 32 points of the excess Red Flame Spiritual Qi, and then an amazingly wonderful, delicious aroma spread from his tongue, with wisps of heat dispersing from his belly, slowly, gently, warmly, like the warm afternoon sun through the tree canopy, presenting a rare and lingering poetic flavor.

Wow, it's marvelous.

Because he felt the riotous Qi Blood and the flourishing life, a long-forgotten dream of adolescence.

Wang Wu was wide-eyed in disbelief!

Can it be like this?

However, he didn't dare be distracted and immediately operated the Inner Breathing Technique to disperse this dream-like exuberance throughout his body, then integrate it into his Qi Blood. After several rounds, his satiety did not increase, nor did his Spiritual Qi, but his vitality increased by 100 points!

A full 100 points of vitality!

This equates to 1000 points of the genuine Ninth-Grade Food's satiety, and considering the body's 50% absorption, it's like 2000 points of satiety to recover these 100 points of vitality.

Wow, this is kind of magical.

So, did he also refine the Spiritual Qi within the little wild chicken?

Checking the attribute bar's information, indeed.

"You consumed 50 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi and refined and purified a portion of food, greatly enhancing its quality. Upon consumption, it can be directly converted into vitality."

After this straightforward message, Wang Wu's mind resounded once again with Bear Mother's voice,

"Using Spiritual Qi to enhance and refine the quality of food, including refining the quality of Spirit Grass and Spirit Medicine, is a prerequisite for mastering Alchemy. Human Race Cultivators have done extensive research on this, but the Demon Race is not adept. In ancient times, great sages often called us to learn secretly from the Human Race Territory, yet the Human Race Cultivators are very vigilant against this..."

A gentle sigh, with a touch of reluctance.

Wang Wu was stunned for a long time, not knowing if this was a memory left by Bear Mother or a remnant soul in some sense?

But it seemed unimportant; what mattered was he needed to accumulate enough vitality, he needed Qi Blood to be abundant, he needed to be full of energy, he needed to be vibrant!

At this stage, Spiritual Qi isn't all that appealing.

Then, he activated the temporary Level 4 Heart of the Earth, converting a portion of Spiritual Qi into Red Flame Spiritual Qi.

The talent of the Heart of the Earth is indeed important; it allows for the mutual conversion of three types of Spiritual Qi under certain consumption conditions.

After replenishing 200 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi, Wang Wu caught another Little Wild Boar and continued to perform as he did before. This time, he was more adept, and even the flames were invisible, with no scorched feathers left behind. In just ten minutes or so, he could complete a single instance of refinement and enhancement.

Nevertheless, the obtained Vitality this time was only 98 points.

Wang Wu was not surprised by this.

Because this refinement and enhancement process is more akin to better, more organic integration of the Spiritual Qi and flesh within the Little Wild Boar.

It's almost as if assisting its cultivation.

Except, ultimately, it culminates in Wang Wu's stomach.

This process always consumes about 20 points of Red Flame Spiritual Qi, coupled with the loss of approximately 400 points of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from the Little Wild Boar's flesh, but yields approximately 100 points of Vitality.

In the past, Wang Wu definitely preferred collecting Spiritual Qi. What use does satiety or Vitality have?

It's akin to young people who don't know how to cherish their Primordial Qi, squandering it recklessly, only to regret it once the Primordial Qi withers away.

Qi Blood, Vitality, and Strength are truly too important.

Wang Wu doesn't know how the Human Race consolidates Qi Blood and Primordial Qi, but from now on, he must pay attention to these matters.

Time slips by slowly as Little Wild Boars are roasted one after another, truly liberating Roast Boar.

In practice, he only ate ten roasted boars and his Vitality was full—1700 points, equivalent to 17,000 points of satiety, allowing him to activate Rapid Self-Healing 24 times according to his current healing level!

Actually, at this moment, he has silently recovered into Ten Times Wolf, capable of activating Rapid Self-Healing consecutively 10 times.

Yet, it seems that this is just the final step; Wang Wu clearly knows that he must maintain such good conditions for at least fifteen days to trigger Full of Energy, achieving the effect of gaining free attribute points.

However, he is currently in the Seek Death Camp, where he might be sent to the battlefield tomorrow.

Well, it doesn't matter now; eating one's fill, drinking enough, and sleeping soundly is enough.

Um, wait, there's one more task he can handle right now.

Wang Wu was inspired and casually grabbed the Profound Iron Shield resembling the flying Hedgehog Person Ship.

There are still 237 Spirit Light Crossbow Arrows stuck in them, well preserved.

He needs to pluck them out; as the only Strong Shield in his hand, he can't afford to be prominently marked by the enemy's Spirit Light Crossbowmen when on the battlefield.

The process of plucking Spirit Light Crossbow Arrows is not complicated; with his temporary 63 points of Power, it's a piece of cake.

However, once plucked out, Wang Wu noticed that the Spirit Light Crossbow Arrows crafted by the Human Race are quite impressive, like pieces of art, and quite fitting with industrial aesthetics.

Moreover, the arrowhead can penetrate a two-centimeter-thick Profound Iron Shield, which pleased Old Wang immensely.

Wang Wu pondered slightly and came up with a bold idea.

Could he refine them all into Magical Artifacts?

To be honest, he has long admired the Wolf Fang Short Blade casually thrown by the Wolf Demons,

Supersonic throw, one-hit kill, delight after delight!

In the future, if he encounters Spirit Light Crossbowmen again, he won't be courteous.

Following his thoughts, Wang Wu looked around; apart from his recruits from the Seek Death Camp, there were no Demons watching, as this place was too secluded.

As for the refining process, it definitely refers to the refining of the Array Stone, using Ninth-Grade Deep Freeze as the core, applying energy influence on these sturdy and sharp Spirit Light Crossbow Arrows.

Well, things are different now. Wang Wu merely thought about it, and a palm-sized snowflake gently appeared in his hand. He casually stroked the Spirit Light Crossbow Arrow, and the first step was completed.

Extremely fluent.

However, Wang Wu knows there are two major reasons; one is his growing proficiency in mastering the Deep Freeze Demon Technique.

Another is the quality of the Spirit Light Crossbow Arrows, surprisingly better than those used Array Stones back in the day.

Unthinkable, right? Products from the Human Race, must be high-quality!

Next, Wang Wu repeatedly released Deep Freeze, imprinting the ice structure indiscriminately onto the arrowhead.

Ah, the quality of this arrowhead is so outstanding that he almost felt like recklessly doodling on precious paper with a one-dollar pen, or driving smoothly on freshly asphalted roads—that comfortable sensation is unparalleled.

Thus, after merely nine imprints, this ordinary standard Spirit Light Crossbow Arrow from the Human Race became Wang Wu's Ninth-Grade Magical Artifact.

"Isn't this a bit too easy?"

Looking at the displayed information, Wang Wu could hardly believe the result, feeling like he had blasphemed the Immortal Cultivation Goddess of his dreams.

But he quickly realized that wasn't the case.

The precious part of this matter is not his effortless refinement of a Ninth-Grade Magical Artifact, but that the Spirit Light Arrow was originally a semi-finished Ninth-Grade Magical Artifact.

Besides, is it simple to cultivate the Ice and Fire Spirit Root?

He has indeed saved up for a long time to finally enjoy the benefits of cautious and timid development now.
