Chapter 459

Fang Hao was very busy, relentlessly delving into formations, artifact refining, and prohibitions, studying the thirty-six Earth and Heaven Odd Formations. He also had to find time to cultivate, to fully nurture the unique patterns of Heaven and Earth within his body.

Only then could he break through to the next realm, the Divine Intent State!

Refining artifacts required numerous materials for practice, and so did setting up the formations.

Fortunately, he had his own reserves, and the materials Xu Yan transferred from the emptied treasury of the Dai Family, were ample to support Fang Hao’s needs.

“Junior Brother, please forge a pill furnace for me”.

Su Lingxiu had sketched a blueprint for her new pill furnace and came to ask Fang Hao.

Besides Fang Hao, no other Forging Master in the entire Ling Domain could forge this kind of new alchemy furnace. It had already surpassed what a Forging Master could comprehend.

“No problem!”

Fang Hao pounded his chest.

“This pill furnace requires a small formation to be forged inside it, as well as a prohibition to seal the medicinal power of the pills…”

Su Lingxiu began to explain the key elements of the pill furnace.

Thanks to Fang Hao’s guidance, Su Lingxiu had also mastered some formation patterns and prohibitions during this period.

Although not comparable to Fang Hao, she was at least not clueless about formations.

“No problem, you can count on me!”

After hearing Su Lingxiu out and reflecting a bit, Fang Hao gave his agreement.

“Thank you, Junior Brother.”

Su Lingxiu was elated.

“It’s me who should thank you, Senior Sister. Without your elixirs, my cultivation wouldn’t have been this swift.”

A shy smile appeared on Fang Hao’s plump face.

In the forest outside the courtyard.

Red Cat’s paw slapped Little Ha’s head, staring at him with a low growl full of warning.

It was feeling quite displeased recently.

This frog had seized many opportunities that should have been his to act cute and please Su Lingxiu, taking away the elixirs that should have belonged solely to him.

A warning was definitely necessary.

Little Ha, with his bright and lively eyes spun around, “Ribbit!”

He let out a soft croak, looking somewhat timid, yet unwilling to submit.

“Meow!”

Red Cat’s fur bristled.

This toad dared to oppose him?

I am the future Great Demon King!

Lifting a paw, revealing sharp claws, it glared threateningly at Little Ha, letting out a low growl.

Confronted by this spectacle, Little Ha initially showed fear, shifting back a few steps. As if inspired by a sudden thought, however, he became resolute again and let out another soft croak.

He would not submit!

Seeing Little Ha refusing to back down, Red Cat grew furious. It was outrageous to think such a toad would dare to threaten him with Fang Hao!

Except for its master, Xu Yan and the fear of Su Lingxiu withholding her pills, Red Cat feared no one!

Consequently, it raised a paw, pointing towards the courtyard. It told Little Ha that his owner was his own master’s disciple, therefore, in terms of status, it was above him!

Little Ha turned and glanced at the manor, feeling utterly confused. The master of this cat was his owner’s master?

With that realization, he felt a little deflated, showing signs of submission.

Red Cat nodded in satisfaction, wrote a warning on the ground and confiscated 30% of Little Ha’s elixirs. As the future Demon King, it wouldn’t monopolize everything.

It wanted Little Ha instead to become its follower.

After being away for a while, Red Cat returned with a pot of water to illustrate its point. It heated the water and threw a frog into the boiling water, showing it off to Little Ha and warned him, that this would be its fate if it rebelled.

It opened its mouth, intended to devour the frog soup in one go, leaving an intimidating image in Little Ha’s heart. However, it seemed a bit tasteless after a look.

So, Red Cat went to Shi’er, grabbed some seasoning, and poured it into the pot.

Then, it swallowed the frog soup in one gulp.

Although it tasted terrible, Red Cat forced it down to leave a psychological shadow on Little Ha, making him submit under its majesty. Then it glared at Little Ha, growling a warning that if he dared to defy the Red Cat Demon King, this will be his fate!

Little Ha, frightened to the point where his eyes were about to roll back into his head, was shaking and quickly nodded in agreement, promising not to disobey the Red Cat King at all costs!

“Meow!”

The contented Red Cat patted Little Ha on his head, then strutted off.

Inside the manor, Li Xuan had seen the whole act of Red Cat intimidating Little Ha. He was a bit stunned. Where had Red Cat picked up such bad habits?

It actually cooked a pot of frog soup in front of Little Ha, leaving a deep psychological impact.

“Red Cat is picking up bad habits!”

Li Xuan sighed silently.

This humble creature had unexpectedly begun to show signs of cunning.

Red Cat, strutting around, returned to the courtyard. As soon as it located Li Xuan, it rushed up to him, rubbing against his ankles affectionately, trying to butter up its master.

Li Xuan’s mouth twitched. Jade Ruyi rapped Red Cat on the head, saying: “Be careful Fang Hao doesn’t come calling for trouble!”

“Meow!”

With a fearless expression, Red Cat reassured them that its power was not to be underestimated, plus it had its master to back it up!

After pleasuring its master, Red Cat ran off to be endearing in front of Su Lingxiu.

As usual, inside the courtyard, Fang Hao was refining artifacts, forging formation tools, cultivating Odd Martial Arts, studying Odd Terran Formations… His strength was improving significantly every day.

Su Lingxiu’s pill furnace and shovel underwent complete transformations. The Treasures now Spiritual Artifacts, bespoke Spiritual Artifacts that surpassed those within Ling Domain.

Su Lingxiu wonderfully engraving prohibitions into the pill furnace and other artifacts.

Su Lingxiu also made use of some spare time to delve into formations and prohibitions. Following which, she came up with a prohibition which could seal an elixir or a spiritual medicine.
