I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

"Red-armed ape? Okay, let's play with this big guy today." Tang Doudou said, and went to find the red-armed ape.

Seeing the stranger trespass on its territory, the red-armed ape roared in anger and pounced on Tang Doudou. Tang Doudou, however, remained calm and easily dodged the fierce attack. The red-armed ape, having missed its target, became even more enraged and launched another frenzied attack.

Tang Doudou smiled, and a sword appeared in her hand without her noticing. With a flash of sword light, she deflected all of the Red-Armed Ape's attacks.

The red-armed ape seemed to realize that the person in front of it was not easy to deal with. It stood on its hind legs, pounded its chest with its arms, and let out a low roar, which made the surrounding trees tremble.

Tang Doudou's eyes lit up as she sensed a powerful force gathering within the red-armed ape's body.

Tang Doudou knew that this power should not be underestimated once it was unleashed, so she immediately abandoned her playful mood. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and rushed towards the red-armed ape like an arrow released from a bow.

Seeing this, the red-armed ape unleashed a roar, channeling its gathered power into a sonic wave. Tang Doudou felt a buzzing in her ears, but her sword remained firmly thrust towards the red-armed ape.

Just as the sword tip was about to touch the red-armed ape, the sound wave materialized and blocked the sword. Tang Doudou frowned, then circulated her spiritual power, causing the sword to shine brightly and break through the sound wave's obstruction.

The red-armed ape's eyes widened, seemingly surprised by Tang Doudou's prowess. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tang Doudou flipped over and leaped behind the red-armed ape, striking it heavily on the back of the head with the hilt of her sword.

The red-armed ape was struck hard, swayed a few times, and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Little Ape, do you have anything good to trade?" Tang Doudou asked with a smile, playing with the spirit stone in her hand.

"No!" the red-armed ape roared.

"Never mind if you don't have it, why are you making such a fuss? Here, take this as an apology, I'll come find you again tomorrow." Tang Doudou tossed the spirit stone in her hand to the red-armed ape, then flew away on her sword.

The red-armed ape held the spirit stone, feeling waves of surging spiritual energy; this thing was truly magical.

Tang Doudou felt that she was about to break through, so she quickly returned to the house, where she was absolutely safe.

Tang Doudou calmed herself down and took out all the spirit stones from her storage ring, placing them beside her. As spiritual energy gathered, Tang Doudou's aura rose steadily. With the experience of forming her core last time, she easily broke through this time.

Now you've reached the Golden Core stage!

Tang Doudou glanced at the few pills and spirit stones in her storage ring. It seemed that she would not only have to spend the money, but also find a way to make more!

The easiest way to make money in this world is through alchemy.

Tang Doudou made a decision: after leaving here, she would change her appearance and go to Dan Pavilion.

Tang Doudou touched her forehead; there were no marks on it. As long as she was careful when she went out, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Tang Doudou cut her hair short. She touched her face, and the scars were still very obvious. She applied the juice of a plant she found in the forest to her face, and her originally fair face quickly turned a little yellow. The scars on her face were not so obvious.

Tang Doudou altered a gray outfit into men's clothes, and when she put it on, she looked exactly like a boy.

Next, it's time to leave.

Tang Doudou touched the jade pendant and murmured, "Go out."

Soon, Tang Doudou arrived at an unfamiliar place. Tang Doudou looked around at the place, which was bustling with people coming and going.

When Tang Doudou saw the words "Treasure Pavilion," she couldn't help but recall the scene of Su Tiannan standing up for her. She took out an empty pill bottle from her storage ring and went inside.

“Someone asked me to give this to Pavilion Master Su,” Tang Doudou said.

"May I ask you are?"

"Your Pavilion Master Su will understand when she sees it," Tang Doudou said, then turned and left.

After finding out the location of the Pill Pavilion, Tang Doudou flew towards it.

Dan Pavilion is located in a place called Dan City. Upon entering Dan City, you will see a magnificent building with the words "Dan Pavilion" written on its sign.

She took a deep breath and walked towards the Pill Pavilion. As soon as she entered, a rich aroma of medicine wafted towards her.

The waiter sized her up, a hint of disdain in his eyes. "Kid, what are you doing here?"

Tang Doudou cleared her throat and said, "I'm here to apply for the position of alchemist."

The waiter laughed out loud, "You?"

At this moment, an old man walked over and said, "It's alright to let him try."

Tang Doudou was taken to an alchemy room, where the table was covered with various medicinal herbs.

She remained calm and began refining the ingredients according to the recipe and method she remembered.

Flames leaped beneath the furnace, drawing surprised looks from those around them.

Soon after, a round, plump, and lustrous pill was produced; it was a top-grade pill!
