"This place should be safe now."

Wang Wu is currently situated within a void of the underground river, calmly analyzing the situation.

He judged based on the highest standards of being hunted by General Xuelang.

On that day, deep within West Mountain, General Xuelang once activated the Wolf Gaze Divine Techniques and discovered the Great Illusion King Insect hidden over 300 meters underground, yet failed to find them concealed within the tree heart.

This is clear evidence.

It can also be regarded as a standard.

Especially now that he continuously maintains Level 18 Passive Concealment, the possibility of being discovered is virtually zero.

Especially within the 5000-mile area of Centipede Ridge, such a large area, who knows which direction he actually went?

Even if Lu Wuchen, the Human Race's Celestial Realm First-Grade Great Cultivator comes, he wouldn't have a better method.

"But the search bounty outside will probably be noisy for some time, and if I jump out now, the chances of being discovered would increase significantly."

"Therefore, I'll just hibernate here for a while."

Wang Wu thought indifferently; he truly doesn't believe the Human Race could afford to employ the top-tier Eagle Eye and Wolf Glance combo from the West Wilderness.

Even if they manage, how long can they maintain it for?

Time is the biggest difficulty.

Despite this knowledge, Wang Wu is still very cautious, releasing a stable Basic Invisibility Technique outside this void.

This Basic Invisibility Technique is undoubtedly of a very low tier, and its effect is ordinary, visible even to a mortal's naked eye, but in specific environments, it truly shines.

For instance, if he were to release it on the surface right now, its effect would be almost zero.

But in this underground river, releasing it about 2400 meters below ground has peculiar effects against certain Human Race Insight arrays.

The further the distance, the more powerful.

From this perspective, the distinction between the Human Race's Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced Invisibility Techniques is rather irrelevant.

As long as the conditions are met, even the Basic Invisibility Technique could leave a Celestial Realm Great Cultivator helpless.

If the conditions aren't met, then even the Advanced Invisibility Technique might be discovered by mortals.

Such contradictory yet wondrous phenomena.

After preparing, Wang Wu then opened his Storage Pouch, taking out two spherical reactors used for Alchemy, and started refining Practice Pills.

This was necessary, because he had taken a total of 109 Eighth-Grade Spirit Fruits, 34 Seventh-Grade Spirit Fruits, and 56 Eighth-Grade Spirit Grass from Lv Dongyang's Storage Belt, along with over ten Eighth-Grade Spirit Fruits of his own. These should best be turned into Practice Pills for storage.

Otherwise, Spirit Fruits have a shelf life.

Most rapid-growth Spirit Fruits' shelf life won't exceed a month.

Natural Spirit Fruits won't exceed a year.

If refined into Practice Pills, Wang Wu isn't sure of the exact shelf life, but at least it's over ten years.

For the next month, he did nothing but focus on Alchemy.

He obtained 176 Eighth-Grade Practice Pills.

34 Seventh-Grade Practice Pills.

These represent a massive wealth of Spiritual Qi.

Wang Wu stored them properly, not daring to consume them, truly not daring.

But he could consume the Ginseng Vitality Pills.

Lv Dongyang was indeed worthy of being Yunfu Trading Company's steward; in his Storage Belt, there were as many as 1254 Ninth-Grade Ginseng Vitality Pills, and 501 Eighth-Grade ones.

It seems he had just received a batch of goods.

This is truly excellent, Wang Wu won't have to worry about refining his Lifebound Demon Soldiers in the future, and the advancement of the Demon Pill can also be resolved.

In summary, in the coming decades, he'll focus on three areas.

Refining Lifebound Demon Soldiers, advancing the Demon Pill, and cultivating the Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots.

It's a pity these three directions cannot be pursued simultaneously.

Thus, Wang Wu prioritized advancing the Demon Pill.

This can be considered the core matter of Demon Race cultivation, not to be taken lightly or neglected.

The cultivation of the Demon Pill is not too complicated; it involves gathering Vitality Points first, then circulating the Inner Breathing Technique, deploying Qi and Blood Circulation, and repeatedly polishing and cultivating until the time is right for advancement.

The only difficulty is that it requires consuming a large amount of Vitality Points.

Note, a large amount.

For instance, at this moment, Wang Wu consumed 18 Ninth-Grade Ginseng Vitality Pills in one go, gathering 18,000 Vitality Points. Upon starting the circulation of the Inner Breathing Technique and activating the Qi and Blood Circulation, at least 1000 Vitality Points were instantly absorbed and mercilessly thrown into the Qi and Blood Circulation.

With just two or three Qi and Blood Circulations, these Vitality Points transformed into rolling heat, spreading throughout his body, causing Wang Wu's temperature to rise two or three times.

His mind began to wander, filled with the feeling of spring dawning, shouting out loudly.

Of course, these are just side effects.

Before it truly spirals out of control, three Acupoint Opening Demon Pills rapidly intervene, drawing away most of the Vitality heat, diverting it, then after circling once inside the Demon Pill, transmitting it out again.

This inhale and exhale process appears simple, but it actually embodies the core principle of absorbing impurities and embracing renewal.

It's a very fitting process to the natural circulation of Heaven and Earth.

Absolutely not a mere repetition or simple circling.

While Wang Wu circulates the Inner Breathing Technique and activates Qi and Blood Circulation, he vaguely senses that this circulation process already contains many great principles such as the alternation of day and night, the convergence of yin and yang.

Flowing water doesn't stagnate, and door hinges don't rust!

Vitality evolves, embracing renewal!

Wang Wu's body seems like a complete, self-updating world, with each Qi and Blood Circulation akin to this world self-examining and upgrading itself.

After ten Qi and Blood Circulations, the 1000 Vitality Points were fully consumed, with a third refined, becoming part of the three Acupoint Opening Demon Pills.

Another third was sedimented, becoming part of the other branches outside the demon pill.

The last third was used for the growth of the body.

Indeed, Wang Wu's body would grow during this process.

When he immersed himself in the operation of Qi and blood circulation and refined 18,000 points of Vitality in one go, nine whole days had passed.

Upon opening his eyes and standing up, he would hear the crackling of his bones and feel his muscles brimming with power.

After a careful measurement, he found that his height had directly increased by five centimeters, with his total height now exceeding three meters.

If he stood upright, he would be nearly three and a half meters tall.

As for weight, it had returned to about one ton.

After cautiously performing a few sets of movements, Wang Wu had a clear sense in his heart.

He was now very close to being full of energy overflowing.

If he were to undergo another round of refining cultivation with 18,000 points of Vitality, he would definitely achieve it.

However, now he was not too keen on pursuing the state of being full of energy overflowing.

He preferred to take a path of moderation.

He couldn't help it; it was all the aftermath of the previous bloodline collapse.

Because he finally realized that this body of his also had limits, and it would wear out; recklessly pushing extremes would inevitably leave hidden injuries.

Appropriate moderation in nurturing health was what he pursued.

Therefore, after resting for half a day, Wang Wu decisively switched paths and began the cultivation of Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots.

Indeed, this postnatal cultivation was tantamount to health nurturing for him.

Then this cultivation lasted a whole month.

When he ended and felt the state of his body, it was quite good.

So he decisively underwent another wave of 18,000 points of Vitality's Qi and blood circulation.

Then proceeded with a round of refining his Lifebound Demon Soldiers.

It just so happened to smoothly resolve the state of being full of energy overflowing.

Going back and forth like this.

He no longer pursued the effects of cultivation but only sought to keep his body's state at a constant level, neither high nor low, refusing dramatic ups and downs, overeating, sudden weight loss, heavy damage of Primordial Qi, or any severe, moderate, or mild weakness.

And so, unknowingly, three years passed.

Wang Wu's Ice and Fire Spirit Roots each cultivated to (5/50), progressing at a snail's pace, yet the storage limits reached 2000 points each.

His Lifebound Demon Soldier's right front claw was refined to 999/1000, the left front claw to 100/1000.

As for his three Acupoint Opening Demon Pills, as expected, did not advance.

But Wang Wu was quite satisfied.

Because his harvest was enough to prove he was on the right path.

In the past three years, similar information appeared from time to time.

"You have repaired a bit of bloodline hidden injury, your Bloodline Evolution Level increased by 0.01%!"

...

Up to today, he had indeed repaired 99 points of bloodline hidden injuries, thereby increasing the Bloodline Evolution Level by 0.99%, currently totaling 49.19%!

Only a step away from 50%.

At this moment, without needing the attribute bar to remind him, Wang Wu could feel it himself, this seemed to be a threshold, an unprecedented one.

But what would happen after crossing it, he did not know at all.

So, he chose to continue closed-door training without hesitation.

But he focused on cultivating Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots.

Because if something changes with the innate bloodline, postnatal cultivation would act as a ballast, an insurance. This has been unfailingly effective.

Next, Wang Wu devoted seventy percent of his energy to cultivating Ice and Fire Dual Spirit Roots, the remaining thirty percent on cultivating Acupoint Opening Demon Pills.

Anyway, he had enough Ginseng Vitality Pills, and plenty of Spiritual Energy Practice Pills, so there was no need to worry about logistics.

This closed-door training lasted another whole three years.

In sum, he was already thirteen, having traversed to the Cultivation Realm for thirteen years.

In these three years, the progress on his Ice and Fire Spirit Roots remained slow as a snail, ultimately only reaching (11/50) each, with the storage limit reaching 3200 points.

Fortunately, this should have been enough.

Then, on a certain day, the three Acupoint Opening Demon Pills naturally progressed to the Eighth Grade.

Because the right moment had arrived.

At this instant, a flurry of over a dozen messages frantically emerged.

"Your three Acupoint Opening Demon Pills have progressed to Eighth Grade."

"Your Life Value Limit +900, Physical Strength Limit +900, Satiety Limit +900, Vitality Limit +900, Basic Agility +10, Basic Power +10, Basic Defense +10, Regular Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi Storage Limit +1500."

"Your Bloodline Evolution Level +3%, currently 52.19%, you have successfully surpassed your father's bloodline limit!"

"You have successfully surpassed your grandfather's bloodline limit!"

"You have successfully surpassed your great-grandfather's bloodline limit!"

"You have obtained the direct bloodline inheritance of your great-great-grandfather — Bear Demon Emperor of the West Wilderness, one of the Nine Great Heroes of the Wilderness, famed alongside Grandpa Tree!"

"All your main talents, all branch talent limits +1."

"Your growth limit has increased."

"Your Bloodline Evolution Threshold has been raised; henceforth, you will no longer obtain bloodline evolution through stimuli from Demon King Level Poison, top-grade food, or demon pill progression. You'll need to confront life-and-death challenges at the Great Wilderness Demon Emperor Level to continue refining bloodline evolution."
