I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

"But on that day, I will be strong enough to protect humanity."

Qiongqi chuckled, "You? I think it's unlikely! But for me, it's only been a few thousand years. I'll take the gamble with you. Winning or losing makes no difference to me anyway."

"Okay!" Tang Doudou said, then turned and left.

Once outside the forbidden area, Tang Doudou looked at the Xuantian Sect as if from another world.

Tang Doudou came to her senses, left the town, and flew back to Dan Pavilion on her sword.

After arriving at the Pill Pavilion, Tang Doudou calmed down and continued refining pills. This time, with enough medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs, she could try making second-grade pills.

Tang Doudou took a look and decided to refine a Grade 2 Bone-Growing Pill.

Tang Doudou prepared the herbs, including a single White Spirit Grass. A single White Spirit Grass was more expensive than all the other herbs combined.

The white angelica plays a major role, so purification is crucial.

Tang Doudou first reviewed the process, placed a recording stone next to her, and then began refining the pill. Throughout the process, Tang Doudou was very careful and cautious, and finally refined a low-grade pill.

Although it's a second-grade pill, it's still enough to make money off the herbs.

Tang Doudou put it away, then reviewed the alchemy process again, forcing herself to point out a hundred areas for adjustment.

Then, they reviewed the process again and started refining it once, twice... countless times, until they finally succeeded in refining a superior-grade Bone-Growing Pill.

After the refining was completed, Tang Doudou fell asleep immediately.

"Disciple, wake up! We'll be late if we don't leave soon!" Old Master Li called for a long time before Tang Doudou finally opened her eyes.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

"Didn't you say you were going to participate in the Spirit Beast Competition? We have to leave right now!"

Tang Doudou responded and quickly got up to pack her things. Then she followed her master on a sword and headed towards the competition venue.

Tang Doudou felt much more awake after the wind blew.

"Let me see your Green Spirit Water Python," Elder Li said.

"This is it!" Tang Doudou stretched out her arm, and Old Li was somewhat surprised when he saw it.

"Your green spirit water python should be nearing the transformation stage!"

Tang Doudou looked at it, but couldn't figure it out.

"The cultivation of spirit beasts is different from that of humans. It is divided into primary, intermediate, advanced, and human transformation stages. After human transformation, their cultivation is the same as that of humans, except that they are more powerful than humans in the later stages," Elder Li explained.

"I thought the stories about mythical beasts turning into humans in novels were all fake. But why do some mythical beasts still look the same?" Tang Doudou's mind flashed with the image of Qiongqi.

"Well, a divine beast successfully transforming into human form means it can cultivate human techniques, but it doesn't mean it likes human appearance. In the very beginning, divine beasts didn't need to transform. Back then, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was abundant, and divine beasts could cultivate even while sleeping. Why wasn't I born in that era?" Old Li sighed.

Tang Doudou smiled. No wonder Qiongqi is so powerful, and Bai Yueguang and Bai Yunze are also highly skilled. It turns out they were born into the right family!

Soon, the two arrived at the location of the Beast Taming Sect. Unlike the five major sects, which were all located on mountains, the Beast Taming Sect was situated in a valley surrounded by forests.

"The Beast Taming Sect is still a bit weak. In the eyes of the five major sects, it's just a pet-keeping sect," Elder Li said with a smile.

At this time, the Beast Taming Sect was bustling with people coming and going, and it was extremely lively.

"Buy anything you want, it's on me!" Old Master Li said, waving his hand generously.

“Okay, but I’m not good at judging, so I’ll have to ask Master to check it out for me,” Tang Doudou said with a smile.

"Okay!" Old Li readily agreed!

Tang Doudou followed Elder Li into the bustling market. Various strange spirit beasts were either locked in cages or chained, emitting all sorts of cries. The air was filled with a mixed scent, a blend of herbal fragrance and the unique aura of the spirit beasts.

"Let's go take a look at some things that will help your Green Spirit Water Python improve its spiritual power." Old Li led Tang Doudou to a stall filled with crystal clusters.

"What is this?" Tang Doudou asked in confusion.

"This is formed where spiritual energy gathers, which is beneficial for the level of spirit beasts."

The stall owner was a lean old man with quick, darting eyes, who introduced his goods with a broad smile.

Tang Doudou curiously picked up a blue crystal cluster. As soon as she touched it, she felt a cool sensation running down her arm. "This one is good. It will be very beneficial to your Green Spirit Water Python."

Tang Doudou brought the crystal cluster close to the Green Spirit Water Python. The Green Spirit Water Python opened its eyes and then closed them again.

It seems the green water python isn't interested.

Tang Doudou looked at the other crystal clusters when a gasp suddenly came from the side. Tang Doudou turned her head and saw a huge, fiery red fox breaking free of its chains, causing the people around to back away in fright.

The fox's eyes were bloodshot and full of wildness, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply because of it.

She likes fire!
