After more than a month of closed-door cultivation, Li Chengfeng finally perfected his own techniques, forming a preliminary system of skills.
However, he knew this was just the beginning, because this set of techniques couldn't reach its peak through simple practice.
He deeply understood that the elixirs he consumed were crucial to improving his skills.
But unlike the common Foundation Establishment pills on the market, the pills he needed had to be refined according to the characteristics of his techniques.
This meant he had to develop his own elixirs, searching for and fusing spiritual energy and herbs containing the power of life and death, demonic energy, and the power of wind.
Li Chengfeng's Three Primes Technique—'Flourishing and Decaying Sky-Reaching Skill,' Great Evolution Ancient Demon Art, and Wind and Cloud Profound Sky Art—each had unique energy requirements.
He had to find spiritual herbs and energy that could simultaneously satisfy these three powers in order to refine elixirs that were truly suitable for him.
He understood that this was a long and difficult process, but he also knew that only in this way could his techniques truly unleash their powerful potential.
Therefore, he resolved to delve into research and continuous exploration until he found the most suitable elixir formula for himself.
He also separately improved the techniques for his senior sister Su Qiushui and junior sister Mu Xi.
He knew that he was about to leave the Wind and Cloud Sect and head to the land of the Demon Clan, so he needed to be fully prepared.
In his hand, he held a jade scroll for his junior sister, containing his insights on advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage and other difficulties, and reminding her to cultivate her temperament and face problems with composure.
Another jade scroll was for his senior sister Su Qiushui, helping her to sort out her techniques and avoid bottlenecks; these were gifts prepared for them.
He planned to find Su Qiushui to discuss this matter and share some important information.
However, when he arrived at Su Qiushui's residence, he discovered that his junior sister had already entered seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Li Chengfeng thought that after advancing, his junior sister would definitely come to spar with him; this quirky junior sister made him feel very interesting.
He wanted to say goodbye to her, but he was afraid of disturbing her cultivation, and ultimately decided against it.
Su Qiushui saw Li Chengfeng, her beautiful eyes turning, as if she could see that he had something on his mind.
She softly asked, "Junior brother, do you have something on your mind? Why don't you tell your senior sister, and perhaps I can help you find a solution."
Li Chengfeng smiled frankly and nodded, taking out the letter of recommendation from his bosom and handing it to Su Qiushui.
Su Qiushui took the letter, scanned it with her divine sense, and her expression suddenly changed, saying in disbelief, "So that's how it is, no wonder you have such strength, you were prepared long ago."
She raised her head, looked at Li Chengfeng, her eyes full of concern: "However, rest assured, the Wind and Cloud Sect is your home, and I am your senior sister.
Everything here will not change in any way. I will immediately notify the Wind and Cloud Sect to prove your identity and restore your name, Li Chengfeng."
Li Chengfeng smiled and waved his hand, signaling her to be calm: "Senior sister, don't worry.
Let me slowly tell you the ins and outs of the matter and my future plans, and then you can make a decision."
Su Qiushui nodded and said with a serious expression: "Junior brother, just say it.
I know you have many tricks up your sleeve, but no matter what, as long as it's your business, your senior sister will help you without hesitation."
Li Chengfeng took a deep breath, no longer concealing anything, and began to describe in detail the threat of the Demon Clan to the human realm to Su Qiushui.
Su Qiushui's expression became more and more solemn, even pale, as Li Chengfeng narrated.
She realized that if the Demon Clan could really break the barrier, the human world would fall into darkness, living beings would be plunged into misery, and all humans might become slaves of the Demon Clan, even being used as resources for their cultivation.
"Junior brother, what you said, if it really happens, it will be a catastrophe for the human world.
This matter is of great importance, I must notify Master and ask him to make a decision."
Su Qiushui's voice trembled, obviously she was deeply shocked by the news.
"Senior sister, Master is at a critical juncture in his seclusion, it would be unwise to disturb him now, what if he can advance to the half-step God Transformation stage?
That would be the best help for us, I know this is difficult to accept, but we must face reality."
Li Chengfeng said in a deep voice, "I came to senior sister hoping that we can discuss countermeasures together."
Su Qiushui nodded and said, "Junior brother, what ideas do you have, just say them."
Li Chengfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I think I can use this opportunity to leave the Wind and Cloud Sect and go to the Profound Light Continent to personally investigate the power and movements of the Demon Clan.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Moreover, I practice demonic techniques, so it won't be easy to detect if I mix into the Demon Clan.
However, I need the help of the Wind and Cloud Sect to let the outside world know that I have been expelled from the sect and become a traitor despised by the sect.
In this way, if the Demon Clan knows, they may be more likely to accept me."
After hearing this, Su Qiushui's expression became even more solemn, she shook her head and said, "Junior brother, your idea is bold, but too risky.
Associating with the Demonic Path, a slight mistake will lead to eternal damnation.
Moreover, if Master knows your plan, he will definitely not agree.
You only need to cultivate well in the Wind and Cloud Sect, with your aptitude, you will soon be able to advance to the Core Formation stage, Nascent Soul stage, and even the God Transformation stage.
At that time, the Wind and Cloud Sect will have enough ability to protect you."
Li Chengfeng looked at Su Qiushui, a trace of determination flashing in his eyes: "Senior sister, I know this road is difficult, but I can't just watch the human world fall into disaster.
I must do something, even if there is only a glimmer of hope."
Su Qiushui looked at Li Chengfeng's firm eyes, and a sense of inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.
She knew that her junior brother, although seemingly cynical, was full of a sense of responsibility for the human world and the sect.
She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, junior brother, since you have already decided, then I will no longer persuade you.
But you must remember to act carefully and protect yourself. I will do my best to fight for more resources and support for you within the Wind and Cloud Sect."
Li Chengfeng said sincerely: "Senior sister, thank you for your kindness.
I understand the love that Master and senior sisters have for me, but I don't want to become a burden to the Wind and Cloud Sect.
The cultivation resources I need far exceed those of ordinary disciples, and I have chosen a different path, only by going out to experience and see a wider world can I make a breakthrough.
Once, I also thought about cultivating peacefully within the sect, but now the situation is urgent and the Demonic Path is rampant.
If I continue to linger, by the time I leave seclusion, I am afraid that the human world will have fallen into dire straits.
Therefore, I have decided to go out now to do my part for the human world and improve myself at the same time."
Li Chengfeng's words were firm and powerful, every word was full of determination.
After hearing this, Su Qiushui's heart was filled with indescribable emotions.
She had never seen a junior brother with such foresight and determination, even Master was not as good as him.
She knew that the path Li Chengfeng was taking was difficult, but perhaps it was more suitable for him.
However, Su Qiushui was also worried about Li Chengfeng's safety, she knew that the outside world was full of dangers.
She sighed softly and said, "Junior brother, it's too dangerous for you to go out like this. Although I can't directly help you, I want to give you something."
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a wooden box appeared on the table.
"These are thirty Spirit Devouring Insects, which I have carefully cultivated. I will pass on all my insect control techniques and insights to you.
These insects have great potential, but it is difficult for me to help them advance in this Wind and Cloud Sect.
If you travel the world with them, you may encounter spiritual objects that can help them breed and evolve.
At that time, you can also bring back a hope for your senior sister, so that my Spirit Devouring Insects also have the opportunity to breed and evolve."
Su Qiushui took out another storage bag and gently placed it on the table, saying, "This contains some of my spirit stones, elixirs, and magic weapons, take them with you, they may be able to help you on the road."
She paused, and then said, "I will go to the Wind and Cloud Sect's treasure house to find some good things for you, take them all with you. This is all that your senior sister can do for you."
