After a moment.

Qin Ming collected two barrels of royal jelly from the beehive.

Weighing more than eighty pounds.

However, the color of this royal jelly was a bit unusual, resembling blood-colored amber, crystal clear.

But the spiritual energy contained within was palpable even from a distance.

It is said that graded royal jelly has many uses.

Adding a little royal jelly during alchemy can neutralize the medicinal properties, increasing the pill formation rate by around one to two percent, and there is a certain chance to improve the quality of the pills.

If consumed directly, it has beautifying effects, and it is one of the main ingredients for refining the Youthful Appearance Pill.

Lastly, it is also a sacred antidote, capable of curing almost all poisons.

In short, it has numerous benefits.

Qin Ming casually scooped some royal jelly from the barrel and tasted it.

Boom!

Instantly, a surge of overwhelming Qi Blood Power rushed in like a tidal wave.

Qin Ming stood there, astonished.

This blood-colored royal jelly could significantly enhance Qi Blood Power!

Its effects were even better than top-grade Blood Locust Rice.

Perhaps it was related to that strange Skull Demon Flower.

In a flash.

The name of a pill unconsciously appeared in Qin Ming's mind.

It was one of the more obscure pill formulas in Su Yuqing's notes.

Its main ingredient required the Jadescent Nectar infused with Qi Blood to refine.

This pill is called the 'Blood River Pill,' a Tier One Top-Grade Pill, extremely difficult to refine, a legendary Body Refining Sacred Item.

The main ingredient is royal jelly containing Qi Blood Power, a rarity in the Cultivation Realm.

Qin Ming happened to have some spiritual materials needed to refine this pill.

He decided to act immediately.

He made another trip to Celestial River Market to purchase the remaining auxiliary materials.

Qin Ming found Aunt Long from Mirror Snow Pavilion and spent a few days gathering all the materials.

A few days later.

Qin Ming returned to his cave mansion on Wangyue Island.

He began extracting the medicine embryo, proceeding step by step with ease.

Releasing the Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame to heat the pill furnace.

Time passed gradually.

After several failures.

Qin Ming finally succeeded in refining a furnace of 'Blood River Pills.'

Ever since mastering the Spirit-Devouring Poison Flame, his success rate in alchemy had significantly increased.

Even this top-grade Spirit Pill, Blood River Pill, succeeded on the first attempt.

With a flick of his hand, eight crimson Spirit Pills, exuding astonishing Qi Blood Power, fell into his palm.

"Is this the legendary Blood River Pill?" Qin Ming picked one up and scrutinized it for a moment.

A strong bloody scent surged into his nose.

Without hesitation, Qin Ming immediately swallowed one Blood River Pill.

The tremendous Qi Blood Power surged through his limbs and meridians like raging waves.

He activated the "Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture" to refine this medicinal power.

Gradually.

Layers of blood scabs oozed from Qin Ming's skin, enveloping him entirely.

Like a massive blood cocoon.

Blood-red light flickered inside intermittently.

Lasting for two hours.

Qin Ming's True Qi Blood Spirit accumulated to its limit.

Crack!

The blood cocoon broke layer by layer, revealing Qin Ming's silhouette.

"Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture" 9th Layer, breakthrough!

A sharp and unmatched Innate Gang Qi gathered within him, enhancing his bodily strength to nearly break past its limits.

Now, he was akin to a Foundation Establishment Great Demon.

Explosive power surged within Qin Ming.

The glazed armor condensed from Qi Blood True Spirit around him appeared substantial.

Crucially, reaching this stage, he could now externalize the True Gang.

The power of his Innate Gang Qi in attack was comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

Qin Ming rose and walked out of the cave mansion.

Within a few breaths, his figure, like a ghost, reached the edge behind the peak.

He then activated his True Qi Blood Spirit, slashing a red blade towards a giant boulder in the distance!

Bang!

Qi Blood True Spirit projected outward like a crescent moon cutting through the sky, slicing the massive boulder into countless fragments.

The cuts were incredibly smooth.

Qin Ming tried another method, his Qi Blood True Spirit surging around him.

In an instant.

Centered around him, countless fine rays formed by Innate Gang Qi exploded outwards.

Puff, puff, puff!

Everything hit by these rays was instantly riddled with holes, the power terrifying.

This was enough to rival the means of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Qin Ming was thrilled, punching out again, the scarlet fist light moving from his body, instantly reducing whatever it touched to ashes.

In terms of strength.

The power of a Foundation Establishment Great Demon was much greater than an ordinary human Cultivator.

Demon Beasts cultivate through their bloodlines, possessing terrible racial talents and inherited Divine Techniques, not to mention their extremely tough bodies.

Therefore, the difficulty for Demon Beasts to cultivate to Foundation Establishment is often several times that of the human race.

Should he now encounter a newly advanced Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, such as Elder Gue's kind.

He could easily crush them.

However, when facing Lin Zixiao, who now possesses a demonic inheritance, a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Great Power, it's better to steer clear.

"The Immortal Dao values life, why engage in constant fighting and killing?"

"If I can't provoke you, can't I just avoid you?"

Having reached this step, Qin Ming now meant he could barely establish himself in the Cultivation Realm.

Yet, the outside world remained chaotic.

He still needed to find ways to raise his mana cultivation level to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The situation between the Spirit Feather Sect and the Thunder Origin Sect was also uncertain in its development.

However, resource-driven conflicts and wars are inevitable.

After all, the pie in Wei Country is only so big, with many wolves and little meat.

Therefore.

In such clashes between powerful forces, Foundation Establishment cultivators falling is quite normal.

Even though Qin Ming's strength had ascended to a new level.

Under such external circumstances.

He still felt an urgency, so this wasn't secure enough; he needed to elevate his mana cultivation too.

Double insurance, the more cards up his sleeve, the more chance he has to pursue longevity in this brutal Cultivation Realm.

No matter how chaotic the outside got, Qin Ming had already made up his mind.

To focus on farming and cultivating on Wangyue Island, not getting involved in external disputes.

His Wangyue Island, far at the northern extreme of Spirit Nest Islands.

Not a place of great contention or strategic pass.

For half a year, he wouldn't see a soul, almost isolated from the outside world.

Perfect for steady development.

Of course, now that Qin Ming had slightly surpassed ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, obtaining some resources in the future wouldn't be so restrictive, and he could act freely.

"I wonder, if I cultivate the 'Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture' to the first layer of the Foundation Establishment Chapter, what would happen?"

Qin Ming also grew increasingly eager about the future of his cultivation.

This Body Refining Technique's Foundation Establishment Chapter consists of only three layers in total.

Corresponding to early, middle, and late stages, once mastered, power far exceeds same-tier cultivators.

Upon mastering the first layer of the Foundation Establishment Chapter, he would enter the realm of 'True Gang Transformation.'

According to the scripture, it's the first metamorphosis of the True Qi Blood Spirit.

But to achieve this realm, merely relying on consuming Qi Blood spiritual materials is far from enough.

Pills can only play a supporting role.

Entering the True Gang Transformation stage requires two prerequisites.

First, refining Demon Beast Essence Blood, the higher quality and grade, the better, as it determines the power and potential of future techniques.

Second, activating the Hundred Beasts Visualization Image from the beast hide scripture, requiring sufficiently robust Qi Blood Gang Qi, similarly, the higher level of the Demon Beast Visualization Image activated, the greater the power.

With Qin Ming's current Qi Blood True Spirit reserve, attempting to activate the chart, he still fell far short.

As for High-Tier Demon Beast Essence Blood, he could ask Guu Qingzhao to keep an eye out, given that the Vast Sea Immortal City is backed by the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

High-Tier Demon Beast Essence Blood often appears at the city's auctions.

Next, Qin Ming planned to visit Celestial River Market, to inquire about the Jade Marrow Mushroom.

But at this moment.

Qin Ming's Communication Talisman delivered a message.

Upon opening it, it was from Wu Jiang.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I have discovered a new spiritual material; the matter is urgent. Please come quickly to the vicinity of Dragon Scale Island."
