Chapter 75: A Peaceful Night

While Zhanyue closed his eyes to refine, Baizhi wasn’t idle either. She took out her bronze furnace and a dagger. First, she removed the dagger’s sheath and handle, placing only the metal blade part into the bronze furnace. Then she brought out the poison collected earlier from the fifth-grade spirit beasts. Both the giant toad and centipede were terrifying poisonous creatures, with extremely frightening venom on their bodies. Neither was something a Star Profound expert could easily handle.

She sealed the furnace lid, not letting a trace of poison gas escape, then began tempering with poison. The two little cats were scared and hid far away, naturally aware of how terrible those poisons were.

Soon after, the originally green and black poisons became transparent, while the originally bright silver blade turned an eerie green color. All the toxins had been refined into it by Baizhi. This basic poison-tempering artifact refining technique had some commonalities with pill refining, so it wasn’t difficult for Baizhi.

Baizhi took out a pair of thick gloves, put them on, then reassembled the dagger, revealing a vicious smile. She thought that just scratching an opponent’s skin a little with this blade would be enough to make them suffer.

“What are you doing, smiling so sinisterly?” Zhanyue, having finished refining, asked the grinning Baizhi curiously.

Baizhi waved the poisoned dagger, “This thing is extremely toxic. It could easily take down a fourth-grade spirit beast, and even fifth-grade spirit beasts would fear it.”

“Uh, I thought you were a harmless little white rabbit. Indeed, a woman’s heart is the most poisonous,” Zhanyue joked.

Baizhi glared fiercely at Zhanyue, “You’d better know it. If you dare to misbehave, I’ll...” Baizhi made a couple of gestures with the dagger.

Zhanyue looked at her pretty face, now without the veil, and smacked his lips, “What a pity. I should have acted earlier. Now that you have the power to resist, it’s going to be troublesome.”

Baizhi’s face reddened. She knew Zhanyue was joking, having long gotten used to his personality. “Enough of that. How are you? What innate divine ability did you comprehend?”

Zhanyue smiled slightly and replied, “Naturally, it’s that bear’s talent, Soul-Shaking Roar. It’s a rare soul-targeting attack method.”

Baizhi remembered how that night, with just one beast roar from the black bear, her spirit had wilted significantly. This talent was indeed excellent. for new novels

“Good night.”

Perhaps because they had killed all the powerful spirit beasts nearby during the day, the night passed peacefully. When the sun rose again, Zhanyue opened his eyes.

“Spirit Communication Realm, eighth stage now. The spirit energy in this secret realm is dense. It’s really a good place for cultivation, pity we can only stay for a year,” Zhanyue said, looking at his improved realm. He had also taken quite a few spirit fruits and pills during this time.

“You’re really a monster. You’re only at the Spirit Communication Realm, yet your strength is so great,” Baizhi, who had already woken up, complained. Then she took out various medicinal materials and her alchemy furnace, beginning her first attempt at refining a fifth-grade pill – the Fierce Profound Pill, an advanced version of the fourth-grade Fierce Explosion Pill, and currently the most helpful powerful attack pill for them.

Outside the secret realm, several Ghost Shark clan members gathered, discussing recent events.

“According to our spies inside, another trial ground has been discovered in there, seemingly called the Red Lotus Trial. The strongest of those youngsters have already entered the third level of the trial, but we don’t know what kind of treasures they can bring back,” one Ghost Shark clan member said.

“That guy called Feng Bulang is quite interesting. Wonder how many levels he can pass. It seems the rewards are completely different depending on the order of completion,” another said.

“I’m just a bit worried. If they get spatial rings or similar treasures from the secret realm and take our treasures out, wouldn’t we suffer a great loss?” a Ghost Shark clan member worried.

Another joked, “You’re really treating the secret realm as your own property? These two secret realms are originally exclusive treasures for humans, otherwise other races wouldn’t be unable to enter. Besides, those above Profound Realm can’t enter the Azure Sky Secret Realm. Even if they got spatial rings, how much could they take away? Do they have the strength to enter the depths of the secret realm? According to our intelligence, in the deepest parts, sixth-grade beings are everywhere, seventh-grade are as common as dogs, and there might even be eighth-grade demon emperors.”

The person nodded, “Indeed, I overthought it. Even if someone had the devil’s luck and got a spatial ring, at most they’d only take away some garbage from the outskirts. We just need to wait for our clan’s formation grandmaster to break the restrictions of these two secret realms, then we can go in and get our hands on the truly valuable treasures.”

“It’s difficult, so difficult. Even the elders in our clan don’t know who created these two secret realms. They only know that the formations are profound, far surpassing the level of those formation grandmasters recorded by humans,” another sighed.
