After enjoying a delightful dinner with the three beauties, Xiao Yifeng chatted with Ye Yaxin for a while before returning to his room with Little Xiuxiu, tossing it aside and once again immersing himself in comprehending the Asura Nine Slashes.
The new day arrived quickly, and after a night of cultivation and understanding, Xiao Yifeng had slightly touched the threshold of the Asura Nine Slashes and had also realized the power of this technique.
With his current strength, he was utterly unable to even perform the First Slash of Asura Nine Slashes unless he reached the Qi Condensation Realm, which indicated just how terrifying the power of Asura Nine Slashes could be.
Little Xiuxiu directly leaped onto Xiao Yifeng’s body, continuously nuzzling against him, showing great affection.
"This little guy really is clingy!"
Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but say.
"Wait until it grows up, then you’ll know how powerful it is!"
Senior Long Qian spoke up.
"How long will it take for this Asura Beast to grow?"
Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but ask.
"Whether it’s a Spirit Beast or a Divine Beast, they all go through the stages of infancy, growth, and maturity. This Asura Beast has just recently been in its infancy. When it fully matures, it will probably take about ten thousand years."
Senior Long Qian spoke indifferently.
Xiao Yifeng almost spat out a mouthful of old blood; his face was as dark as could be.
"Ten thousand years? Senior Long Qian, are you sure you’re not joking with me again?"
Xiao Yifeng couldn’t help but say.
"Who’s joking with you? This Asura Beast is a Divine Beast, not an ordinary Spirit Beast. Even an ordinary Spirit Beast would need at least five to six thousand years to reach maturity, and I estimate that ten thousand years might even be an underestimation."
Senior Long Qian said nonchalantly.
"Isn’t this all in vain then? How can I possibly live for ten thousand years? By the time it fully matures, I will probably be long dead, with not even ashes left."
Xiao Yifeng pursed his lips.
"Your vision is too limited. You will understand in the future. However, as long as you have a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, various items containing powerful energy for this Asura Beast to devour, it can grow rapidly."
Senior Long Qian said once more.
"What is this, Senior Long Qian?"
Xiao Yifeng abruptly took out a piece of that blood-colored crystal from the Asura Ring.
"This is the Blood Crystal unique to the Asura Purgatory, similar to a Spirit Crystal, containing extremely powerful energy."
Senior Long Qian explained.
"Blood Crystal? Spirit Crystal?"
Xiao Yifeng looked puzzled.
"A Spirit Crystal is like those two crystals you previously consumed to enhance your strength. They are called Spirit Crystals and are a higher grade existence compared to Spirit Stones, formed by compressing countless Spiritual Energy and condensing its essence. The energy contained within is much more powerful than Spiritual Energy."
After hearing Senior Long Qian’s words, Xiao Yifeng remembered the two crystals he had obtained previously at the Elder of the Wuji Sect and the Donggang stone gambling conference, which turned out to be called Spirit Crystals.
At this moment, Little Xiuxiu’s gaze had been fixed on the Blood Crystal in Xiao Yifeng’s hand all along, whimpering, clearly very eager to get it.
Xiao Yifeng held the Blood Crystal in front of Little Xiuxiu, and the latter instantly devoured it in one gulp.
"This little rascal..."
Xiao Yifeng smiled helplessly.
After devouring the Blood Crystal, Little Xiuxiu’s body emitted a blood-colored glow, releasing a faint fierce evil aura. The Blood Crystal had evidently enhanced its strength slightly.
"It seems that the Blood Crystal is conducive to its strength improvement."
Xiao Yifeng spoke, then asked, "Senior Long Qian, can I absorb the energy of this blood crystal?"
Long Qian succinctly uttered.
Little Xiuxiu began to whine at Xiao Yifeng once again.
"You still want more?"
Xiao Yifeng said as he threw out two more blood crystals, which the creature swallowed whole before scuttling off to a corner to digest them slowly.
After leaving the room, Ye Yaxin had already gone to work; only Ye Yashi and Little Xue were sitting there, eating.
After breakfast, Xiao Yifeng arrived at the new base established by Cold Edge and his team.
The whole base was massive, capable of accommodating at least a thousand people, with various training and cultivation facilities, spanning a huge area, and equipped with several new defense systems.
By now, the War Emperor mercenaries in Tianhai, and everyone under Cold Edge, had already moved here.
"Hmm, this place is not bad. To construct such a place in such a short time, well done."
Xiao Yifeng stood in the midst of the base and expressed his admiration, with Cold Edge and others standing behind him.
"By the way, from now on, Haojie will be one of your members."
Xiao Yifeng looked at Xiu Haojie who had just been called over and said.
Xiu Haojie nodded at everyone as well.
"Jian Yun, starting now, select a group of people to cultivate the Asura Fierce Evil Formation, with Haojie leading them, and make sure to forge a team that can demonstrate formidable power through formations for me."
Xiao Yifeng handed over the manual of the Asura Fierce Evil Formation to Jian Yun, along with a sizeable number of blood crystals, instructing him to quickly boost the strength of those to be trained in the formation.
The Asura Fierce Evil Formation was a powerful offensive formation requiring multiple persons. It was similar to the formation in the Asura Cave which, once deployed, could unleash terrifying power. Xiao Yifeng wanted to establish such a formation to compensate for the lack of powerhouses under his command.
Once the formation was successfully cultivated, even a group of Transformative Energy Stage masters could eliminate masters in the Qi Condensation Realm; this would be enough to prove the might of the Asura Fierce Evil Formation.
At this moment, Xiao Yifeng received an unexpected phone call from Director Chen of the police station.
After listening to the call, Xiao Yifeng frowned and headed directly to the police station.
Inside the police station, many police officers turned to look at the first one; there, Xiao Ruolin lay prostrate on the ground, her complexion pale and blood staining her lips.
In front of her stood Wu Ao, the Wu Family Side Branch Descendant who had been emasculated by Xiao Yifeng previously, with a cold, vicious look on his face, flanked by four tall, burly men with sharp eyes, all of them masters of the Gang Qi Realm.
Director Chen stood tremblingly nearby, bowing his body.
"Has that kid arrived yet?"
Wu Ao coldly spat out.
"He should be on his way!"
Director Chen said with his head lowered.
Wu Ao walked over to Xiao Ruolin, squatted down, grabbed her chin, and said with a cold gaze,
"Once that kid arrives, I will personally cripple him, make him live a life worse than death, and then take you back to Yanjing to let you thoroughly enjoy yourself!"
As Wu Ao spoke, a twisted, cruel smile spread across his face.
Xiao Ruolin’s gaze was icy as she stared fixedly at Wu Ao.
"Don’t look at me with those eyes. Soon, you’ll be begging me obediently, hahaha!"
Wu Ao said, letting out a disturbing laugh that gave people the creeps.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Yifeng’s figure appeared there.
"Kid, you’ve finally come!"
Wu Ao, noticing Xiao Yifeng’s arrival, had a cold glint in his eyes and exuded a murderous aura.
