A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

After a year of practice, Pei Cangli's body-building techniques and Chaos Demon God techniques have been able to exert the power of the late Qi Refining stage. Including the Bixu Jue he practiced later, because of the abundant water elements around him, he has also reached the strength of the late Qi Refining stage.

I just don’t know why, her affinity for the water element could never go any further. I don’t know if it’s because she didn’t take the corresponding elixir, or because of her Qi Refining stage, which caused the affinity to reach a bottleneck.

We can only wait until the foundation is successfully built and then try in a larger water area.

In order to lay a more solid foundation for himself, Pei Cangli no longer practiced regularly every day, but started going out to find monsters in the forest to practice with. Cangcang and Hongyu no longer went out alone, and everyone started going out together, starting a daily routine of fighting monsters and leveling up.

When encountering a stronger opponent, Pei Cangli would go on his own. If the opponent was weaker, he would let Hongyu practice. If the opponent was too strong, they would just run away.

Soon, news spread in the forest that there were two perverts, a man and a bird. They would come up and beat the monsters without saying a word, sometimes setting them on fire, and then turn around and run away.

After three months of training, Pei Cangli's cultivation has reached the peak of Qi Refining, and his overall strength has reached the peak of Qi Refining. He is only one step away from the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Hongyu practiced all day long and reached the middle stage of Qi Refining. His body was also larger than before, but he still liked it. He shrank into a tiny red bird and lay on Pei Cangli's shoulder.

Thinking that he had reached a bottleneck and could not build a foundation by continuing to practice, Pei Cangli decided to leave this place and look for opportunities elsewhere.

According to Cang Cang, if you go southeast, there is a large city where you can see what major events have happened in the cultivation world recently. Cang Cang said that everyone stayed at the bottom of the lake for seven months, traveled on the road for nearly half a year, and practiced for another year and three months.

By this calculation, Pei Cangli has been in this world for almost three years, and except for Si Yunzhou, she has not seen any other cultivators. Thinking of this, she is still full of expectations for the future life.

"Master, I need to remind you that we will have to spend spirit stones to make a living. You have to find a way to earn spirit stones. We could make do in the wild before, but it won't work in the city anymore."

"I know. I have read all the information you gave me. The best elixirs and magical instruments, the skeletons and inner cores of monsters, and even feather claws can all be exchanged for spirit stones. In addition, I can also take on missions to earn spirit stones."

"Hongyu, let's earn spirit stones together. By the way, next time you encounter a monster, don't burn it all in one fire. We need to earn spirit stones now."

"Don't worry, sister. I will definitely earn a lot of spiritual stones for you to spend."

"Sister, there seems to be something in that direction, attracting me over there, let's go take a look."

"Okay, but remember not to set fires carelessly. I don't want our reputation to spread far and wide."

"Master, I can also sense that there seem to be rare treasures and exotic herbs in this cave, but I can't sense whether there is any danger. Normally, there will be monsters guarding rare treasures and exotic herbs. You should be careful."

"Hongyu, I'll go in first and take a look. You wait for me at the entrance of the cave. If there's any danger, you can come and rescue me quickly."

"Sister, let me go in and take a look. I can become smaller, so it's not easy to be discovered. If something happens to me, you can come to save me. The chances are better. After all, you have a higher level of cultivation."

"You also said that I have a higher level of cultivation, so naturally I should go to investigate. Besides, you call me sister, and as a sister, how can I let my sister take risks? From now on, I will go to investigate and you will provide support from behind. That's it."

Pei Cangli held the purple whip in his hand and used it to conceal his breath. He walked into the cave carefully. In the cave, darkness and dampness intertwined. There were many caves, exuding a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere. He could only let go of his spiritual sense to perceive the surrounding environment.

In the dim light, a magical grass emitting a strange glow came into view. It swayed as if it had life.

However, the monster guarding beside it suddenly opened its blood-red eyes. It was huge, like a tiger but not a tiger, with iron-hard scales covering its body and sharp fangs that were frightening.

The monster seemed to sense something was wrong and let out a deafening roar. The sound waves echoed in the cave, and sand and rocks fell to the ground.

Pei Cangli was just about to retreat and reunite with Hongyu when the monster suddenly swung its giant claws, creating a gust of wind. Pei Cangli dodged sideways and hid in a small cave nearby.

"Master, a new task has been issued. Get this magical herb." Cang Cang suddenly said.

"The last mission has not been completed yet. I haven't even reached the foundation-building stage yet. How come there is a new mission?"

"Master, in addition to the main mission, there are also side missions and hidden missions. Hidden missions need to be triggered before they can be opened. This one is a hidden mission."

Just as he was talking to Cang Cang, he suddenly heard Hongyu's scream. Pei Cangli rushed out to see that Hongyu's wings were scratched by the monster. A water ball was thrown at Hongyu, pulling him over.

"How did you get in here? Why don't you fight back?"

"I heard some noise inside and thought my sister was hurt, so I rushed in. Didn't my sister tell me not to set fire casually?"

Pei Cangli looked at it with a distressed look, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Stay here obediently, I'll get the strange herb to heal your wound."

The monster twisted its body in anger, and raging flames spewed out of its mouth. The scorching temperature seemed to turn everything into ashes. It could actually spit fire, but unfortunately, after Hongyu and Pei Cangli made a contract, the flames had no effect on her.

Pei Cangli whipped the long whip in his hand, and dozens of water arrows shot out from his hand, hitting the monster's head directly. The monster felt the pain and attacked more frantically.

At this moment, Cang Cang discovered the monster's weakness and told Pei Cangli that its belly was weak. He seized the opportunity, leaped up, and with all his strength, he quickly turned the long whip into a dagger and fiercely stabbed it into the monster's belly.

The monster let out a shrill scream, fell to the ground, struggled for a few times, and finally stopped moving. The purple charm seemed to be sucking the monster's blood, and soon the monster was left with only a shriveled body.

"Cang Cang, is it okay for Zi Mei to suck blood like this? She won't turn into a bloodthirsty and cruel demon, right?"

"It's okay. It's a weapon itself, so it's normal for it to be stained with blood. It might have heard us asking it to cultivate its weapon spirit as soon as possible, so it took the initiative to absorb the blood of the monster."

He let out a long sigh and walked towards the rare and precious herb tiredly. He saw that the light it emitted became brighter and brighter, as if welcoming its new owner.

"Hongyu, can you take this magical herb directly? This monster can also breathe fire. I think this magical herb will be of great benefit to you fire-type practitioners."

"Master, don't forget that the inner elixir of this monster can also be swallowed by Hongyu. Secondly, the scales and fangs of this monster can be exchanged for spirit stones."

"Hongyu, then you should absorb this immortal grass and the inner elixir of the monster together. This way your injuries will heal faster. Maybe after absorbing them, you can directly build your foundation. Just absorb them here. I will protect you and just deal with its corpse."

"Sister, I will listen to you. After I build my foundation, I will be able to protect you."

After dealing with the monster, Pei Cangli sat beside it and waited for Hongyu to absorb it. He took Zimei down and observed it with Cangcang to see if there were any changes.

"Cang Cang, do you feel any changes in it?"

"It seems like there is no change, but it also seems like there is a change that I can't explain."

I just hope that everything is going well with Zi Mei. No matter whether you have cultivated a spirit weapon or not, you are still a family member, so you don't have to worry.
