———————————————————
There were many changes in his status since last time, each adding a layer of thrill to Wang Feng's excitement.
First was the Physique Colomn.
There, except for his Five Element True Body and Unyielding Golden Skeleton, there was another physique now stated. That new physique being Pure Yang Physique.
Wang Feng looked at the 'Embryo' written next to the Pure Yang Physique with slightly regretful eyes for a brief moment before smirking.
Although the physique was just an Embryo, meaning that although it was created, it wasn't complete just yet and needed a sufficiently powerful source to help power it. His main objective, and possibly the hardest part of creating this physique, was complete.
Plus, he knew how to complete the physique. So he wasn't worried in the slightest.
Next was the cultivation column.
He peeped into his Dantian and saw a vast Ocean of Qi that nearly filled the dantian. Unlike before, there were now 6 types of Qis in his dantian.
He grinned excitedly. Not only had the experience allowed him to breakthrough and gain the Yang Qi, as he had speculated. It has also allowed him to directly reached High stage, nearly reaching the Peak of the stage.
Both these factors had allowed his base Combat Power to soar from Peak Qi Transformation Realm to 2nd Stage Separation and Reunion Realm.
Then came the last and the most unexpected surprise.
His Beast Flame, the Gold Incinerating Flame had actually turned in Golden Yang Flame, which was one of the Minor Earth Flame.
There are three types of Flames in the Cultivation Worlds.
The first ones are Beast Flames, ones that are bred from the beasts. There are a few type of beasts in the world that breed their own flames from birth. These flames can then be obtained and refined by killing such beast.
But, there is a glaring flaw to these flames... They cannot advance in level that exceeds their breeder, aka the beast.
The Gold Incinerating Flame he had refined before also had this problem.
{I know what you will say about it being strengthened during the battle at that time. So let me make it clear. The flame at that time didn't have the chance to devour the Lion's body nor did the surroundings had that much Qi to make it reach its Peak limit, so it was slowly absorbing the Qi in the surroundings and thus growing stronger.}
The second ones are Earth Flames. Now, these flames were different from the Beast Flames. Why? Because they weren't bred by any beast, but were produced by the Heaven and Earth Energy of different attributes.
And since each flame is produced by the Heaven and Earth Energy, they contain a hint of Heavenly Laws of their attributes!
Each flame carries special characteristics and effects for the cultivators who refine them because of the Heavenly Laws in them.
Wang Feng's new Golden Yang Flames are the product of Pure Yang Energy, plus the Gold Incinerating Beast Flame.
These Golden Yang Flames have the effect of raising his talent for Yang Attribute Arts by a great degree. The other effect is raising the power output of any Yang Secret Art he uses by atleast 2-3 times. It will also make it easier to sense Yang attribute materials near him.
One of the greatest things of these Earth Flames is .... They can continue to grow stronger with their masters! Though there sees to be a limit to their growth as well, until they fulfill certain conditions and advance to the next level.
The third and the final type of flames after the Earth Flames are the Heavenly Flames!
These flames have similar characteristics and effects as Earth Flames. Except for one thing.
These flames have formed their own DaoCores! Meaning that each flame not only embodies Flame Dao, but it combines it seemlessly with one or many other Daos. Effectively forming their own unique DAOs.
By refining these Heavenly Flames, the cultivator not only boosts his own attack potency of the DAOs related to the flame by 6-8 times, but also gains a Massive Boost in talent related to those DAOs.
If all this isn't enough, there are additional effects on each Heavenly Flame!
Let's take Myriad Beast Heavenly Flame as an example, it has the ability to take form of myriad races and have their qualities in their forms! This is the result of the combination of Flame Dao and Monster Taming Dao
Or Bone Chilling Heavenly Flame, which have the power of Ice Dao in it and have an unusual ability of freezing their target to the core by burning them!
....
Wang Feng looked at Meng Wu Ya and smirked, "Successful."
Meng Wu Ya felt relief and shook his head, "you brat, had me worried there before... I might have gotten a heart attack..", Meng Wu Ya said while stroking his white beard and gave Wang Feng a meaningful glance.
Wang Feng went deadpanned as he looked him before he simply stood up and walked behind a tree and took out a set of robes to put it on.
Meng Wu Ya's eyes twitched slightly before he shook his head, '*hah* leave it Wu Ya, it was you who agreed to do this for free in the first place.'
While Wang Feng looked at his inventory while he wore his clothes.

———————————————————
In using the array, he had used up his Pure Yang Jade and all of his Scorching Yang Crystals and Enflamed Yang Stones. So it can be said that in terms of Yang Attribute materials, he was broke.
He looked through his inventory and after a thinking about it deeply, he decided what he wanted to do. After wearing his clothes, he walked back to Meng Wu Ya.
Meng Wu Ya looked up at him from his sitting place and quickly raised a hand, catching something that Wang Feng had thrown at him. "What the bra...!!!", Meng Wu Ya suddenly froze and quietened his complain as he instinctively used his Divine Sense to appraise what it was that Wang Feng had thrown at him.
"I know you've been looking for materials related to soul recovering, preparing for your own transition of cultivation...", Wang Feng spoke as he walked towards Meng Wu Ya who was looking at the small bottle in his hand in surprise and slight shock.
Inside the bottle, he saw two pills. Both excluding a soothing aura that seemed to have refreshed his Spiritual Energy just by coming into contact with it.
Wang Feng saw his look and smirk, "those are Soul Norishing Pills. Pills dedicated to strengthening and healing the soul."
Meng Wu Ya broke out of his trance and looked at Wang Feng quietly, as if searching for any reluctance or such. But all he saw was an amused look from him.
Meng Wu Ya sighed and placed the bottle away, "thanks Brat.", Wang Feng hummed and said, "it's a thanks from me for helping me this time.... I'll be leaving now, I still have to see if my foundation is completely stabilized."
Meng Wu Ya nodded and stood up, "let's go, Its not like I have anything to do here.", with that he waved his hand towards Wang Feng, wrapping him up in his Qi and the two flew away.
The area they were at before was just a few 10-15 miles away from the sect and so they reached the sect in just a few minutes.
After returning, Wang Feng directly went to his cabin and started meditating, finding and strengthening any flaw he saw in his cultivation, which weren't many.
For the next two days, Wang Feng remained inside his cabin and cultivated normally.
....
Wang Feng opened his dull golden eyes and stretched his body, "counting down now, 8 days are left till the Dew forms.", he muttered to himself as he stood up and walked to the door of his cabin.
After these few days, he was carving some delicious food, so he wanted to go down the mountain and look for a good restaurant to eat.
He lightly hummed to himself as he walked along the path leading to the sect gate. As he was halfway through the area, he saw a massive crowd of desciples standing in a large circular position.
He grew curious and decided to check it out. But, just as he was walking forward, he was surprised as he heard a *ding* in his head. "Huh?... What could it be?"
He muttered to himself as he opened his system tab and saw a new main mission. He opened the tab, but was dumbfolded at what he found.
———————————————————
4) Save Su Mu ..... Again
[Description: Your junior brother just got entangled into the politics of the sect and was beaten bloodily, Act as the righteous Senior Brother and help save his ass with your friend!]
[Reward: great increase in your reputation in sect, Yang Secret Art: Blazing Bull Charge]
———————————————————
He was stunned for a few seconds before he just sighed and stomped his feet on the ground and bursted forward into the crowd.
He walked through the various disciples and finally bypassed the encirclment. What greeted him was a scene of chaos.
He saw Su Mu gasping for breathwhile struggling to defend, his face pale, bruised and bloodied. Su Mu's lackies stood to the side, shouting and exclaiming as they watched their young Master getting pushed back again and again.
Then there was the other group. Lead by the one that was fighting Su Mu. Wang Feng recognized the guy as Wei Zhuang, the grandson of the Great Elder Wei Xi Tong. Wang Feng also noticed how Wei Zhuang's lackies were watching Su Mu's lackies with narrowed eyes, as if waiting for something.
Wang Feng looked at this with narrowed eyes, 'so Wei Zhuang had planned this from the start, otherwise his lackies wouldn't be looking for an opportunity to strike...'
He then looked around again and saw Yang Kai standing at the side, also looking at the scene with narrowed eyes. Wang Feng looked away and focused on the fight.
He saw as Su Mu moved to the side to avoid an attack from Wei Zhuang before striking him with a punch. Unfortunately, Wei Zhuang acted smartly and shifted his body to an angle that Su Mu's punch would connect with his defensive armor.
Wang Feng looked at the armor with appraising eyes. "A Mid-Common grade armor made with the skin of a Soft Rock Boar, which makes it soft on the inside and Hard on the outside. Allowing it the ability to absorb the impact force of the attacker with the soft interior just like the monster it originated from, making it seem like punching into cotton."
"But... *Sigh* why the heck did the refiner add black scaled python skin to the mix! If he had added the Ironhorn Rhino's skin or even Soft Glazed Silk into it instead, it would have reached High-Common Grade!"
Wang Feng exclaimed to himself as he got annoyed with the refiner who made Wei Zhuang's armor.
Suddenly, Su Mu crashed into the ground near him, making him snap out of his ranting as he remembered why he even came here.
