[WooWooWoo!] a few Prosperity Tribesmen is seemed to cheer as they stand up and holding some of the Pills in their hand. The Pill Refiner that was seated before the tribesmen are Nan Jing Jing, who was brought back to the habitat after they met each other within the West region of the Continent of Mu known as the Grain Woods. Within the Grain Woods, a large amount of Spirit Herbs could be found, where it literally the best place for Nan Jing Jing to focus on gathering as much as she could, but in the same time, this location is filled with its own kind of danger as well.

As the word Grain is within the name, it indicates the ridiculous number of Wooden Beast resides within the woods. A large number of Wooden Beast attacks this Habitat every Sun and Moon pass, costing the habitat to lose at least four to five tribesmen each single time. This happened for a while until a few tribesmen found Nan Jing Jing in the Grain Woods when she escaping from the pursuit of those Scarlet Wood Fruit Insect.

The moment Nan Jing Jing found out that the people from the Prosperity Tribe could actually benefit from refining the Pills directly within them, she did not hesitate to refine more Pills for them in exchange for Spiritual Herbs. Although this exchange came from mutual benefits, in the current situation, the Tribesmen did not think too much as those Spiritual Herbs brings no benefits for them except being consumed as food or awaits the next Descendant to be born from those plants.

Just through this mutual exchange, Nan Jing Jing managed to pocket herself a total of about 500 kinds of Spiritual Herbs that is good enough to refine Medicinal Pills of Second Earth and Heaven Grade for her consumptions, some if it even qualified enough to be refined into Third Human Grade Pills, something that quite important when one managed to enters the Practitioner Realm Cultivation.

During the period of Third Sun is shining brightly above them, Nan Jing Jing's contribution actually managed to overturn their results in fighting, as this is the first time they managed to totally defeats all the Wooden Beast without losing a single tribesman. Happy with such results, the Tribesmen quickly send their representative to the remaining five habitats to share the good news, and could slowly give assistance to the others when they could manage their Habitat's strength.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the Fourth Sun already appeared for its sixth hour, Long Feng finally wake up from his slumber. Luckily since he was already accepted into the Habitat's community, Long Feng could rest as much as he wants before he continues his exploration. As he walked out from the room, Long Feng noticed that some of the disciples that previously injured the time he came, already started to have an exchange with the other tribesmen. Most of them depend on their Pill Refining skills to obtain some Spiritual Herb in exchange, but some of them are not too experienced, so their results are roughly failed to be on par with Long Feng's Pill.

During the six hours, he was unconscious, the Wall separating the Habitat with the woods had already been built once again, only this time, it is slightly taller and stronger than the previous one he had seen. There are some spikes could be seen protruding out from the ground, indicates that their building ability started to see a growth as well. While a few new tribesmen could be seen appearing in the Habitat's community, Long Feng began to understands their cycle of life.

The tribesmen shared a central memory, thus almost all of them could have, receive, and also creates more memories to allow the Central Memories to grow stronger. Be it died because of any matter, the dead aren't really dead, because the moment their memories had escaped from the body, they will returns into the central one again, and a new descendant will be formed from any part of this Continent of Mu. Most of the time, they will be a rebirth in the time between two to three days, and they do not go through any child or adulthood. So it is extremely easy to notice that there will be a few new tribesmen every single day.

But this balances is fragile, because of the appearance of the [Curse of Fruit Mantra]. The opposing force cause disruption in their central memories, and for each memory (tribesmen) is killed and refined by the Wooden Beast, the more the [Curse of Fruit Mantra] could reproduce. This is also why, the balance is important because the moment the [Curse of Fruit Mantra] managed to get a stronghold in their current situation, it will mean the end of this Prosperity Realm.

During his unconscious period of time, Long Feng actually managed to open up a deeper part of the memories from the Inheritance, regarding the usefulness of the Brown Crystal Beads towards human Cultivators, and also the information about a certain Life Bound Spirit Treasure that was located in the North, known only as Mother Gaia. And since he has nothing much to be bothered anyway, Long Feng decided to understand deeper into the information regarding this two matters, as he slowly prepares to leave.

"The Brown Crystal Bead is the concentrated life force of this [Curse of Fruit Mantra]. Strengthen with so many resentments and also emotions within, the mantra was able to convert all this to form a treasure called as the [Spirit Recollection Seed]. This seed hardly comes by even within the human world, due to its precondition of growth is difficult to come across."

"The [Spirit Recollection Seed] grows by feeding on life, death, emotion and resentments. This is also the reason why the [Curse of Fruit Mantra] could form this treasure within this realm. This seed is coveted by many cultivators because of its [Profound Healing Attributes]. You might know that in this world, many kinds of treasures is well hidden by our ancestors before they met their ends. Some of them deliberately destroy or ruin their treasure before it was disposed of, in order to not allowing any threats towards their descendants. But by having this [Spirit Recollection Seed] within your hand, it could help you to repair the treasure into its optimized condition, allowing a full 100% utilization on the spot without any additional requirements."

"Next is regarding my Life Bound Spirit Treasure. Mother Gaia, is my one and only sentient treasure among my seven Life Bound Sovereign Treasure. Based on your current capability, you might not even possess a slight qualification to obtain it, but with my inheritance within your body, perhaps Mother Gaia will allow a part of her to be given to you if you're lucky enough to obtain it."

"Mother Gaia represents Initial of Life, in her form as a Crystal Square Vassal. She could bring forth Sun and Moon, Life and Death, Elements as she wishes, and recreates anything within her power. This Life Bound Sovereign Treasure of mine had been protecting me for my life, until now she had been replacing my position to protecting my descendants, or our descendants. Please treat her well, if she actually decides to follow you."

Long Feng bid farewell to the Tribesmen and Tuluwo as he departs into the Northern direction. And under the assistance of the Geology Map, Long Feng could easily pinpoint his path without getting lost in between, but along his path over to the northern woods, also known as the Wombs Woods, is known as the most dangerous area between all six kinds of wood.

He travelled for almost on full sun period, to finally managed to enter the Central Mountain Region. Along with his path, Long Feng encountered a few random Wooden Beast, but none of them managed to give him any threats as he easily disposes of all of the beasts before he continued. But this time, Long Feng is confused with the way he could cross over this landscape without any issue.

Before him is a mountain path leading towards the northern woods, but is extremely infested by almost ten Lairs scattered along his path towards the upper north. From what Long Feng knows, this Lair belongs to the extremely dangerous kind of Wooden Beast, known as Ferocious Wood Snake Beast. These snakes possess the length of around six to eight metres in length, with a head as big as the Tiger Beast Long Feng met previously. Within each lair, almost ten to twenty Snake Beast could be seen slithering around, and the lairs are arranged into a total of five layers.

While at the same time, there are some activities could be seen from the top of the mountain, which is most probably belonged to the Scarlet Wood Wasp Insect, a kind of Wooden Beast with a deadly needle on its abdomen, and could be shot and holds a strong kind of toxin within each single needle. The next of the Wasp Insect is usually managed and occupied by at least two to three thousands of Wasp Insect, making the attempt to destroy their nest become futile.

Long Feng tried to take a step closer to see the clearer situation, and as he moves under the cover of the shrubs and bushes, five corpses fall down above him, startled him slightly. "What the hell!" Long Feng felt no life force within the corpses, thus he retreated to have a look on it. The five corpses belonged to those from the top 100 disciples. All five of them belonged to the Clear Jade City, and since they had been dead for more than 30 hours, their corpses had already started to have maggots growing within.

Since they were killed by the Wooden Beast, their belonging is left untouched, therefore, Long Feng politely gave them a burying ritual as he loots whatever he could get in hand. Just like this, Long Feng's total Ingredients within his ring increase to a total of 295,500 sets of ingredients. Other than those ingredients, Long Feng managed to obtains some Spirit Weapon on their Second Human Grade, and also some other Pills and recipes.

"One of this guy actually possess this recipe in his hand!" Long Feng read through the contents as he was slightly surprised with it.

Final firing should be done using Yin Flame instead of Yang Flame Energy to remove the possibility of an explosion during Pill Refining process. The explosion effect is depending on the number and quality of the Sulphur Wick Grass is used.

The better the grade of ingredients could increase the yield and the speed of the viscosity of the concoction is formed before the wax is added to the concoction to allows the forming process. This Pill refining is easy but to maintain its quality is more difficult, further research may be needed to increase its destructive power.

==========

Looking at the recipe, Long Feng immediately have the eagerness to try and refine some of the pills, unnoticed on his surrounding that he had already been stalked by one of the Ferocious Wood Snake Beast. Long Feng quickly move away from his current position as he hurries to find a place that suitable for him to temporary make a stop and starts to refine those ingredients he already has a long time ago.

He soon managed to spot small mound that was already left empty, perhaps it was created when somebody or some of the Wooden Beast is taking a shelter. But this is the first point where Long Feng start to get less cautious on his surrounding. Why would a Wooden Beast take shelter if the whole forest is literally their kind of living environment?

Comfortably, Long Feng withdraws all the tools and ingredients required to refine the Vermilion Lord Pill before him, as he continues with the procedures such as preparing the Pill Cauldron with the Three Flame Heating Stage, and nourish the ingredients prior before the mixing procedure starts. As soon as the Pill Cauldron is completely prepared, a howl could be heard, and in the same time, it startled the Ferocious Wood Snake Beast for a moment.

But that short second is what required Long Feng to pay attention towards. "There is something stalking me!" he immediately noticed something was wrong. But since his refining process is going to begin, Long Feng has no choice but to continue his mixing process. He quickly prepares the Volatile Fruit, Fiery Lizard Blood Essence and the Violet Snake Venom within the cauldron to start the mixing process, as the cooking begun as soon as the mixing procedure is completed.

The moment its impurity is successfully separated from the pure concoction, Long Feng began to add the Sulphur Wick Grass into the concoction, as he controls the fire carefully to make sure this concoction could form the required viscosity before the wax could be added. About ten minutes of cooking the concoction, Long Feng finally managed to obtain the viscosity he requires, as he mixes the Clear Toad Fruit's Wax into the concoction for a final mix. As the concoction finally is mixed evenly, Long Feng began to separate it into equivalent portions, as he ignites his Yin Essence to form a Yin Flame to fire the Pill in a cold way.

The time starts to tick, as the Ferocious Wood Snake Beast finally became impatient and looking for a good position to attack Long Feng who seats in the middle of that little mound. In the same time, Long Feng calmly calculate the percentage of his Pill's completion, because if the enemy started to get impatient too much, he will be attacked before the Pill could perform its might when completed.

96%

97%

98%

99%

"Swish!" the Wooden Beast finally get tired of waiting as it charges like a launched arrow towards Long Feng's head. The moment Long Feng saw how quick his opponent is charging over, he could only patiently awaits for his Pills to be completed. Exactly a half second before the Snake Beast's Fang get close to Long Feng, a burst of fragrance could be smelled from the Pill Cauldron, but it was literally ignored because the moment to slowly appreciates this Pill completion is no longer around.

Long Feng kept the Pill Cauldron into his Spatial Ring and leave the six Vermilion Lord Pill on the outside as he covers himself with the Body Shield Concoction, and ignites all six Pills within that small little mound! "Boom! Boom! Boom Boom Boom Boom!" a total of six explosions could be heard in that surrounding area, as that mound and the tree roots and soil had been blown away.

What remains on the spot, is only a piece of Brown Crystal Bead and a human in a half kneeling position, with both hand raised and protecting his head from any further injuries, with all his clothing and belongings had been blown to his surroundings. The moment Long Feng lowered his both arms, two mouthfuls of blood is spat to the ground, indicating that even himself couldn't escape from being caught in the explosions. But in his mind, a happy reaction instead covered all his previous regrets.

"No matter it is regretful or not, through trying the strength of this Pill myself, I finally found the unique part of this kind of weapons!" Long Feng's mind started to have a few simulation running through, as in how to perfecting this Battle Concoction and bring it even further. If somebody would see him and his current situation, perhaps they will think that Long Feng might have gone crazy from the blast, but for Long Feng himself, this is exactly what he would need if he wished to further perfect this Battle Concoction!

He finally stands up after taking in a few breath and a Tiger Stripes Soul Pill and quickly returns to the Habitat.
