"Thank you, you seem to be quite affluent. It's really too difficult to get supplies in the Human Race Territory."

"I seek no trouble from others, but please protect me."

General Xuelang was genuinely exhausted. It devoured all twenty Eighth-Grade Spirit Pills in one go, and the next moment, it transformed into a wolf form, beginning to restore its qi and blood vitality.

Wang Wu watched it quietly for a while, then let the Companion Demon Vine slowly grow around them. It was enough for protection.

Then, he took out the small tripod from which a rich Spiritual Mist still emanated.

Because there were no less than two million points of Spiritual Qi inside.

Ah, the grace of a beauty, Madam Yu gave him the treasured item of Jade Mountain Manor. Although she said it was a temporary loan back then, there was never a chance to return it.

So, compared to the hungry and tired, worried General Xuelang, Wang Wu was well-supplied.

Another ten or twenty years, he wouldn't have to worry.

At that moment, Wang Wu began alchemy with the Spiritual Mist, and after completing it, he started refining his Lifebound Demon Soldiers.

It's worth mentioning that while cultivating the Lifebound Demon Soldiers, he wouldn't enter into a meditation state, being completely unaware of the outside world, so it was quite safe.

In this way, he cultivated until the latter half of the night. When Wang Wu had successfully cultivated the Lifebound Demon Soldiers to 1800/2000 progress, General Xuelang slowly awakened from meditation.

Without needing to ask, one could feel its status had recovered at least over sixty percent, and even the divine light in its eyes was much brighter.

General Xuelang did not speak either, swiftly reverting to human form, sitting quietly beside Wang Wu, watching him temper his right forepaw over and over.

Until Wang Wu finally stopped and General Xuelang asked, somewhat hesitantly, "Are you cultivating a Celestial Eighth-Grade Lifebound Demon Soldier?"

Wang Wu nodded and modestly asked, "Does the General have any advice?"

General Xuelang shook its head again, "I have lived for five hundred years, refined a Third-Grade Tyrant Demon Pill, and a Third-Grade Bright Demon Pill. I dare say my strength is not bad, but in reality, my Lifebound Demon Soldiers are only cultivated to Celestial Seventh Grade, while you, are you even fifty yet? And you are about to cultivate a Celestial Eighth-Grade Lifebound Demon Soldier. I don't know whether to feel awe or envy?"

"You only cultivate to Celestial Seventh Grade? That's unlikely." Wang Wu was instantly interested.

"Because the Celestial Seventh-Grade Lifebound Demon Soldier is enough in practice. Hypothetically, combined with the Demon Wind, its power is no less than the Fourth-Grade Lifebound Sword of Human Race Cultivators. Of course, another more important reason is cultivating Lifebound Demon Soldiers does not increase lifespan, nor does it enhance physical prowess but severely depletes qi and blood vitality."

"Can't you restore qi and blood vitality with the Ginseng Vitality Pill?" Wang Wu was stunned. He knew refining Lifebound Demon Soldiers was exceptionally qi and blood-intensive, but ever since he mastered making Ginseng Vitality Pills, he never encountered this issue of qi and blood exhaustion.

The qi and blood boiled as if at no cost.

"Who said so? The Ginseng Vitality Pill only supplements vitality and cannot significantly replenish qi and blood. It still requires a process to refine vitality into qi and blood. Like when I was cultivating Celestial Eighth-Grade and Celestial Seventh-Grade Lifebound Demon Soldiers, it took a full hundred years. It's not that faster can't be achieved, but once the refining pace is accelerated, qi and blood deplete at a rate that cannot keep up with consumption."

"A hundred years?"

Wang Wu was shocked, almost thinking he and General Xuelang were talking past each other, each speaking their own minds.

This time while refining the Celestial Eighth-Grade Lifebound Demon Soldiers, up until today, fully counting, it had been less than twenty days. This gap, this disparity, are we kidding each other?

Without further ado, he stepped forward to grab General Xuelang's snow-white small hand, directly using the Lifebound Demon Soldiers to make a small cut, allowing the Companion Demon Vine to inject a fine thread-like tendril. At the same time, he activated Level 12 Spirit Essence for comprehensive sensory monitoring.

Although General Xuelang didn't understand what he was doing, it did not dodge either.

A few seconds later, he finally obtained the firsthand data.

Hmm, it's the appraisal data of General Xuelang given by the Inheritance Soul Jade + attribute bar.

First, General Xuelang's Life Value was quite high because it had two Third-Grade Demon Pills, plus it's already in adult form, reaching 10000 points, as did the Physical Strength Value.

Then followed its basic agility, which actually reached as high as 300 points.

Compared to Wang Wu's 172 points, it was indeed a huge gap.

And its basic power was 158 points, basic defense was 148 points, not much different from Wang Wu's 172 points.

Then came the crucial point, General Xuelang's Bloodline Evolution Level was 42%, a whole 10% less than Wang Wu's.

Lifespan was hard to discern but at least over 1000 years.

Bloodline secret techniques, demon techniques, innate divine techniques were also hard to assess, but presumably not inferior.

A Great Demon that lived for five hundred years, that's for certain.

The real disparity lay in the speed of qi and blood circulation.

Wang Wu's was the Five Demon Pill System, with an overwhelming speed of qi and blood mobilization and circulation, running at 3600 times per second. It could convert a Life Value of 10000 into qi and blood quickly and efficiently in just a few minutes whenever needed.

The internal qi and blood circulation was like a self-sufficient, huge internal demand, massive economic growth point, with mines, money, people, rules, and a thriving developmental market.

Whenever needed, he could fulfill his energy needs.

However, as a Peak Third-Grade Great Demon, General Xuelang only had two demon pills, and its qi and blood mobilization and circulation speed was only 60 times per second, 60 times slower than Wang Wu's.

To provide a more practical example, Wang Wu previously gave General Xuelang ten Eighth-Grade Ginseng Vitality Pills, supplementing 50000 points of Life Value. It took from one in the afternoon until two at night to convert this Life Value to qi and blood, almost 14 hours. However, there was also the issue of its deficiency causing inability to absorb more.

To make General Xuelang full of energy, well, that was simply impossible.

But what about Wang Wu?

He only needs five minutes to efficiently and quickly transform these fifty thousand points of Vitality into Qi and Blood.

Case solved, that's the reason.

If General Xuelang could cultivate two or three more Demon Pills, it could achieve what Wang Wu does.

Of course, the premise is that its Bloodline Evolution Level must reach at least 50%, in short, the principle is simple, but doing it is really hard.

In fact, Wang Wu can easily determine that for General Xuelang wanting to advance to Second Grade in the future, it's difficult, very difficult.

Because its Qi and Blood circulation speed can't keep up with the speed of consumption.

With this in mind, one can understand why General Xuelang thinks that Great Demons of Third Grade and above should follow the rules, although they wish for joyous nights, their Qi and Blood can't keep up.

"Can you see anything?"

At this moment, General Xuelang curiously asked. If it were thirty years ago, it wouldn't even have this humble mindset, but today, even the likes of Lu Wuchen, a First-Grade Great Cultivator of the Celestial Realm, couldn't catch Xiong Wu, which was enough to lower its stance.

Wang Wu thought for a moment and then said, "General, you need to find a stable place rich in cultivation resources, seek a good teacher, or find a powerful being to help. Try to elevate the purity of your Ancient Blood by another threshold within a century, and then strengthen your foundation and nourish your essence. In secluded cultivation for a hundred years, you may advance to Second Grade."

"However, you are unlikely to advance to First Grade in this lifetime."

Upon hearing this, General Xuelang's beautiful eyes flashed with radiance, and the attitude towards Wang Wu became noticeably more respectful.

"The problem is, I'm currently in Human Race Territory. It's difficult to escape back to the West Wilderness, as it seems there is always an invisible net trapping me, and I'm afraid I won't have this chance."

Wang Wu remained silent. He was merely giving a suggestion; they didn't have any relationship, nor had trust been built. Besides, he himself was also struggling to protect himself.

After a few seconds of silence, General Xuelang suddenly gracefully stood up, walked in front of Wang Wu, and solemnly knelt down, touching her head to the ground.

"General, what do you mean by this?"

Wang Wu frowned.

"If I'm willing to become your concubine, would you be willing to help me rescue Bu Er?"

"No."

Wang Wu answered bluntly; he didn't even know how to rescue his own Madam Yu.

"If I'm willing to gift you the Wolf's Glance Divine Techniques, would you be willing to help me rescue Bu Er?" General Xuelang continued.

This time, Wang Wu hesitated for a moment, not immediately rejecting, but asked curiously, "How is it possible? Wolf's Glance is an Innate Bloodline Talent, not Demon Technique, nor Daoist Technique that can be obtained through acquired teaching."

"It's possible, but the price is quite high. Back then, several Bloodline Talents of the Ancient Bear Race were obtained through such continuous fusion. Of course, the effect of fusion may not be obvious; you may not truly release the Wolf's Glance Divine Techniques, but it will make your perception a little bit sharper."

"Perception, just a little bit?" Wang Wu became interested immediately. His Danger Perception was already very high, adding a little more on that basis was something he couldn't refuse.

"Yes, it may only be a little bit, or even less. But overall, it can be increased."

"What price do I need to pay?"

"A significant amount of Qi and Blood consumption, possibly causing you to lose 100 years of longevity instantly if you don't have enough Qi and Blood to support this Innate Bloodline Fusion."

"As for me, I won't have much loss, only weak for a few days."

"I understand, I can agree to your trade, but I must clarify one point: I do not guarantee that Wolf Bu'er can be brought back alive, and ultimately, perhaps you will only receive a corpse. Additionally, rescuing Wolf Bu'er doesn't mean taking you out of Human Race Territory; you know, as soon as I act, it will attract beings like Lu Wuchen, but at that time, if we part ways, perhaps you may find it easier to escape."

Wang Wu couldn't refuse, because this fusion of Bloodline Talent had a certain chance to increase Bloodline Evolution Level, this kind of good thing couldn't be found anywhere.

"I understand, in this matter, I won't ask you for too much."

"Great! When do we start?" Wang Wu was already impatient.

General Xuelang finally raised her head, looked at him in surprise for a while, "Didn't you hear the price I mentioned? You must at least prepare a batch of Ginseng Vitality Pills!"

"You're right, that made sense. I was indeed a bit hasty."

"We need to find a temporarily safe place, where we won't be found for at least ten days. Do you have a place? After all, you've been wandering here for ten years, it should be considered your home field." Wang Wu smiled, suddenly having a brilliant feeling, so he wanted to change the plan.

"My home field?"

General Xuelang smiled bitterly but seemed touched by Wang Wu's confident smile, "Xiong Wu, I suddenly regret that I should have decided back then to marry Bu Er to you."

"Haha!" Wang Wu laughed, not engaging with this topic; he couldn't handle Wolf Bu'er's temper, neither in the past, now, nor in the future would he want to have any relations with it.

At this moment, General Xuelang suddenly said something shocking again, "It's not too late now, If you can really rescue Bu Er, I can marry you as a concubine."

Wang Wu was stunned, although, but it didn't seem impossible.

However, General Xuelang then sighed deeply.

"I never hoped to advance to Second Grade; I can be your Furnace, assisting you to breakthrough to First Grade, because the West Desolate Demon Race really needs a hero to emerge."
