Chapter 17: Happy Birthday

For Yao Yan, the Revengeful Wolf King was just a minor incident in his daily life, but after a burst of venting, the pent-up emotions in his heart were somewhat relieved.

In this world devoid of entertainment, violence seemed to be the only means of release.

In the past, he was just a bottom-tier little Karami, even the low-level monsters of the Shen Nong Mountain Range could chase him away, and Yao Yan didn't even have the qualification for direct confrontation. But now, he had some self-defense ability. At least when encountering low-level monsters, his mind wasn't filled with thoughts of escape.

The power in the fantasy world is like money in modern times.

When you have a certain amount of it, you gain confidence and security in life.

Half a month's time.

Yao Yan endured the physical hardships daily, stimulating the qi and blood in his body, and through this, he successfully practiced the Earth Tier advanced combat technique, the Indestructible Adamantine Body, to the point of entry-level completion. Once activated, his skin would turn cyan-yellow, and at the same time, his strength and defense would skyrocket.

Fighting against the wolf pack was also to verify his own strength.

Yao Yan estimated that at this moment, with the Indestructible Adamantine Body at the first level of completion, solely relying on his physical body, he was capable of fighting head-on with a Dou Practitioner level opponent. Unless the opponent possessed some powerful combat technique, they wouldn't even be able to break through his defense.

This serves as a benchmark for all Dou Practitioner levels.

Whether it's a one-star Practitioner or a nine-star Practitioner, as long as there hasn't been a qualitative change in their strength level, they wouldn't pose much threat to him.

After all, the level of the Indestructible Diamond Body is high enough. The first level corresponds to a Dou King, or even a Dou Emperor.

The second level corresponds to a Dou Ancestor who controls spatial power.

The third level can even contend with a Dou Venerate.

The gap between these levels is evident, and it can only be said that the Earth Tier advanced body refining technique is truly terrifying.

Returning to the waterfall cave.

Yao Yan first freshened up his body, soaked in the steaming hot Adamantine Fruit juice, and swallowed a fifth-grade Body Tempering Pill. Letting the potency of the two medicines soak into his body, he felt the tingling sensation in his body. He could now endure it calmly. Compared to the bloodline modification done by Hun Huzi three years ago, this pain was nothing.

As Hun Huzi said, if you want to become stronger, how can you not pay anything? There are no shortcuts to becoming stronger.

All shortcuts come with huge risks, just like gambling. Only in this case, you're gambling with your life.

"These fangs are quite good, snow-white and even come with a freezing effect. I won't have to worry about the heat in the summer with it." Yao Yan leaned against the edge of the bath, examining his loot.

The fangs of the Frost Wolf King were not small; Yao Yan had to hold them with his hands. They were about the size of his palm, snow-white, extremely cold, emitting a chilling aura. If his body wasn't strong enough, an ordinary person holding it would probably freeze their arms stiff.

In addition, there was also an ice-blue magic core.

The Frost Wolf King of the third rank was among the best of the third rank monsters, so naturally, the most crucial things on its body would have some special attributes.

After pondering for a moment.

Yao Yan directly covered the Frost Wolf King's fangs with Illusionary Golden Fire. He planned to refine a piece of jewelry, a decision he had made when he fled that day.

People always need to leave something behind from their life experiences; perhaps it would make for more interesting memories in the future.

"Phew~"

The golden Illusionary Fire emitted scorching heat, instantly melting the Frost Wolf King's fangs. In a short time, the impurities were refined to nothingness. Under Yao Yan's control, they transformed into a delicate and small jade pendant with a faint blue hue, embedded with the Frost Wolf King's magic core, making the jade pendant look more sophisticated.

"Done."

Yao Yan looked at the wolf king jade pendant he had crafted, a satisfied smile on his lips.

Compared to refining pills, refining such trinkets was effortless, requiring no special techniques, just preserving their original essence.

He took out a thin rope from his storage ring and threaded it through the wolf king jade pendant, hanging it around his neck. Looking at the pendant on his neck, he whispered, "Yao Yan, happy birthday!"

Today was Yao Yan's fifteenth birthday, and this item was his gift to himself.

If others don't love you, then love yourself.

Yao Yan rarely let his mind wander, lazily lying in the bathtub, looking at the cave's ceiling. Memories, from his past life to his present one, flowed through his mind like a slideshow.

At this moment, the Crystal of the soul in his soul was shining the brightest light, illuminating everything.

Unconsciously.

He began to slowly drift asleep.

His body remained submerged in the Adamantine Fruit juice, releasing its medicinal power along with the undigested fifth-grade Body Tempering Pill, transforming this young boy's body at an extremely terrifying speed, unleashing the potential of this body.

In the boy's extremely smooth breathing, the energy of the heavens and earth slowly gathered, turning into strands of misty qi, flowing into his body along with the boy's breath.

The bones in his body were shimmering jade at this moment, setting off his bones like jade stones. However, these jade stones were interspersed with strange black-red patterns, slowly flashing with an extremely sinister aura.

...

The Shen Nong Mountain Range was originally a vast mountain range of monsters, but it was named Shen Nong because of the Yao Clan. Many sects were established within it, and some had close ties with the Yao Clan. Therefore, the Shen Nong Mountain Range was not lacking in human cities, and even the figures of high-level monsters could be seen within it.

Most of the beast clans could transform into human forms after reaching the seventh rank. Besides, they could also transform into human forms through seventh-grade Transformation Pills.

The Transformation Pill had become a necessary pill for some large monster clans to cultivate their descendants.

Compared to the innate talent for cultivating monster bodies, the innate talent for cultivating human bodies was obviously higher. Therefore, most monster clans were willing to let their descendants swallow Transformation Pills to transform into human forms, making it convenient for them to travel in the human world and even join human sects to learn human knowledge.

Combined with the long lifespan of monsters, becoming a top powerhouse was only a matter of time.

After all, even a pig, after cultivating for thousands of years, could become one of the top existences on the continent, which had nothing to do with talent.

Therefore, many large beast clans were on good terms with the Yao Clan, and even actively sought refuge with them. After all, the Yao Clan's alchemists were the most numerous in the world, and they also controlled the vast Shen Nong Mountain Range. Compared to them, the Dan Tower in the Central Region was much inferior.

On this day, Yaoyan also arrived at a city, Shen Nong City..
