”The first task I have you 5 do, is to temper your body with these blood essence.” said Duan Li as he whipped out 5 small bottles containing a single drop of his blood each.

But of course, they do not know that these was actually his blood.

”Don't underestimate the potency behind this single drop of blood, you would soon find yourself to be screaming in agony otherwise. Thus, I advise everyone to make some ample preparation beforehand.” warned Duan Li.

”Shen Lu, you supervise the entire procedure and make adjustments accordingly. But since they're all at the Foundation establishment realm, it shouldn't pose them any real trouble during the tempering process.” he added as he cupped at his chin.

Shen Lu took the 5 small bottles with a gleeful smile.

”These blood essence will make everyone here a few times more stronger. Furthermore, so far there are no known side effects to it, don't worry. But, prepare to feel the pain that the likes of you have never felt before!” he chuckled wickedly.

The 5 new recruits then followed behind Shen Lu closely as they headed to the back of the residence court to undergo the tempering process of their physical body.

Some of them appeared to be quite indifferent towards it. After all, they were already used to the pain of body tempering as a cultivator.

...

Turning his head to Xiahou Yu, Duan Li thought for a moment as he decided to gift her something.

Huala!

”Here, take this monster core and cultivate with it everyday. Your cultivation will then soon enter the Foundation establishment realm.” Duan Li said as he handed out the monster core that Liu Sheng Juan 'sold' to him.

To be honest, he didn't plan to give such an item to anyone, but currently, Xiahou Yu was the weakest among them in terms of her cultivation states.

Since the monster stampede was approaching soon, it would be better if she could get stronger faster.

”Hmm.. that monster core.. the spiritual Qi within it are absolutely dense.. this is unlike anything I've ever seen before. What rank was it from?” Shen Murong asked.

”It's from a 5 Star Monster.” Duan Li answered casually.

Pu!

A 5 Star monster core you say?

That was something that was absolutely, incredibly rare and hard to find! Even if someone were to comb the entire Jiu Empire right now, one would still be hard pressed to find even a single whiff of it.

Yet, here it was, appearing on the hands of the rich scion Duan Li!

And to think that a treasure as such, he just handed it down to someone so casually?!

”I don't know if you are being generous or just ignorant here..” Shen Murong said inwardly as he sighed.

Receiving Duan Li's kind gesture, Xiahou Yu happily accepted the monster core gift, before she was sent into a daze when she felt that immense and dense amount of spiritual Qi contained within it.

This was a priceless item!

Seeing that expression on her, a look of worry appeared on Duan Li's face as he coughed dryly.

”That monster core is my gift for you so that you can quickly rise in your cultivation states. As you know, the monster stampede is just around the corner.. so I hope that you would not sell it just for some fried chickens..”

Xiahou Yu's body jerked for a bit when she heard this, before her entire face turned red as she blushed.

”... I won't...”

she then immediately headed somewhere within the residence court to cultivate. As she was already in the late stage of the Qi condensation realm, it won't take her long to reach the pinnacle stage with the help of the 5 Star monster core that Duan Li gave her.

”I'm going to cultivate too, I'll strive to reach the pinnacle stage of the Foundation establishment realm before the monster stampede at least.” Shen Murong said as he flew off into the distance, leaving only Duan Li with Wang Xiolun now.

Turning his head to Wang Xiolun at the side, Duan Li asked, ”Are you going to cultivate too?”

At which Wang Xiolun shook his head.

”No.. I have already reached the middle stage of the Core formation realm. At this point, I should instead aim to consolidate my base strength by reinforcing my skill arts. This way, I would make better use of my current strength to match the maximum output I could bring out at the moment.”
