Chapter 408: Chapter 400: The Improvement of All Pets_1

He also asked for Xiao Qing’s opinion, and Xiao Qing was very attached to him and the two female masters, unwilling to leave them to study alchemy in the city.

There was no way around it, so Qin Niu could only buy some books for her to study.

At least she could accumulate some theoretical knowledge first.

Now, let’s talk about the cultivation progress of his two wives. Wang Wanyan’s cultivation speed was still relatively slow, but it felt like she had laid a very solid foundation.

Moreover, her cultivation direction seemed to be significantly different from Tang Caixian’s.

Though both of them were practicing the same cultivation technique, it was unclear why there was such a big difference.

Wang Wanyan had also already broken through to the Acquired Realm and reached the fourth level. To have such great progress in just over two months was largely due to the benefits of the Ancient Banyan Tree.

Practicing under the tree, one could cultivate more than twenty times faster than in the outside world.

As long as one wasn’t too foolish and was a little diligent, and the cultivation technique wasn’t complete garbage, one could generally achieve a cultivation speed like Wang Wanyan’s.

Tang Caixian, practicing the Dragon and Tiger Art, displayed quite an impressive talent and had now reached the ninth level of the Acquired Realm, leaving Wang Wanyan far behind.

If nothing unexpected happened, it was estimated that with another month or so of cultivation, she should have hope of advancing to the Innate Realm.

In these two months, aside from his own cultivation, Qin Niu also spent a great deal of time secretly observing that fire bird.

As long as it wasn’t a rainy day, the fire bird would always go to that cave to cultivate.

This fact had already been confirmed without a doubt.

Twice, he had hidden near the cave in advance and witnessed the fire bird flying into the cave with his own eyes. Each time it went in for cultivation, it stayed for two to three hours.

When it went in, there was nothing unusual.

When it came out, its body would always be covered with raging flames.

Qin Niu had observed the fire bird up close several times.

It differed greatly from the legendary Fire Phoenix.

Its size was certainly large, but the aura it emitted could only be described as quite terrifying, though lacking the domineering presence and majesty of a supreme creature of heaven and earth.

Fierce enough, but not sufficiently majestic.

It was precisely because it was not a Fire Phoenix that Qin Niu dared to think about making it his own.

He had now, by lurking with termites on the highest peak and from two to three months of secret observation, essentially figured out the fire bird’s daily routine.

There were multiple demon birds living on the highest peak, and trying to subdue this fire bird there was almost impossible.

Even if Qin Niu’s cultivation had advanced to the Spirit Qi Realm, there was still no chance.

Through various predictions, he believed that if he were discovered by the fire bird on the highest peak, he would almost certainly die.

The best place to subdue it would likely be inside that cave.

It would be easiest to succeed by taking advantage of it during its cultivation.

He was currently making further plans, preparing to find an opportunity to hide inside the cave in advance.

Then, he would secretly observe the fire bird’s cultivation process.

To see if there was an opportunity to exploit.

However, he was very aware that doing this was very dangerous, and if the fire bird discovered him, the consequences would be dire.

Therefore, he had to be thoroughly prepared.

In these more than two months, his gains in controlling insects were also tremendous.

The Gold Devouring Ant had become stronger and stronger with his continuous feeding.

Despite its appetite not seeming large, it chose only the most expensive metals to eat. Initially, Qin Niu fed it only copper and iron.

After he fed it Silver Money, it started to eat Silver Money exclusively, ignoring copper and iron.

Late on, Qin Niu tried feeding it a small piece of gold.

That caused a lot of trouble.

From then on, it ate only gold.

On average, it could consume about ten grams of gold per day. To think, in ten days, it would consume a hundred grams of gold.

This was very costly.

Fortunately, after eating gold, its evolution speed was also extremely evident. At least it was proportional to the money invested.
