After being unconscious for a while, Long Feng finally wakes up and looked around. His first concern is about Nan Jing Jing and her safety, in case he collapses before the fight is over. He looked around, and since nothing belonged to another human cultivator, and started to get worried. He forced himself to stand up, and soon, a soothing voice came over to him from behind.
"Husband? Don't move yet, you are still weak. I've tried feeding you the Tiger Stripes Soul Pill, but it seems like the activation burst doesn't come as strong as expected anymore, its seem like, your strength had increased drastically." Nan Jing Jing honestly tells him, as this is nothing to be secretive about. Although she was not sure with what happened with Long Feng during the first 132 hours they are not being together, but from what she knows, Long Feng already fought for a few Life and Death battle.
Added with all this battling experience, it is no wonder that Long Feng's internal Cultivation became stronger as it starts to become a mess as well. Without a proper foundation to firmly supports his strength, Long Feng will slowly feel a setback soon in the future, as it would hamper his effort in trying to get stronger. Of course, this is all manageable, especially for a Pill Master as all the required ingredients and medicinal concoction to recover one's condition is all within their heads.
"Husband, you should recover yourself slowly, since you have Wood Element within your body, try using it to slowly assimilate the Wood Element around you and have it to nourish your body. The nourishment will help in recovering your blood, and soothes down your raging cultivation so it won't be too difficult to handle in the future."
"You are being too rash, you almost make me become a widow... Hehehe." Nan Jing Jing didn't forget to take the chance to jokes around. But this could only bring the two of them closer, as she patiently looks at this man, who was used to be slightly weaker than her, and yet, now she was still in her Early Earth Adept Realm, while Long Feng already break up two stage, and hanging around in between of a Late Earth Adept Realm and soon to reach its peak.
Since the fifth Moon had already over, the Sixth Moon started to appears in the sky as it slowly shines brightly at Long Feng. This moment, a change started to appears from the Clearness Jade Gemstone that used to belong to Han Feng Xian before it was given to Long Feng as a gift. The jade started to shine brightly, and its light is clear and soothing as if the Gemstone is absorbing the moonlight essence into its body.
The first time this Clearness Jade Gemstone have some reaction is when he was fighting with the Bandits from the Man Si House, as the soul of the dead is getting absorbed into the body. The next thing, the Clearness Jade Gemstone starts to absorb those souls from the Cultivation Beast he hunted as well, until he finally finished his training, and went back to Clear Jade City to participates in the competition.
But before he reached the city, their path is blocked by people from Man Si House again, where Long Feng ferociously kills a large amount of the bandits without any mercy. The next thing, the Examination begins. During the second examination, Long Feng killed a few strong cultivators as well as strong Cultivation Beast, as the Clearness Jade Gemstone continued to absorb those souls that were vanishing from the dead body.
The moment they came in, the Clearness Jade Gemstone have no more reaction at all, until the Moon Phase started. And now, the Clearness Jade Gemstone actually giving out a reaction, as the moonlight that managed to be absorbed into the Gemstone, started to permeate out from the Gemstone as it begins to coagulate into a ball of liquid. The liquid quickly hardened, and formed into a Moon Coloured Jade-like Pill, as it suddenly flew towards Long Feng's brows.
He caught it! Of course!
Long Feng slowly inspect the wondrous product that was naturally produced without his attention and felt that the Clearness jade Gemstone is quite special to have such a capability. What he doesn't know that his total contribution on this matter is actually nothing much, perhaps only barely 10% of the total. It was used to belonged to Han Feng Xian before, so this piece of Clearness Jade Gemstone, perhaps already absorbed soul and moonlight for more than half of Han Feng Xian's life as they travelled together everywhere, Killing many cultivators, enjoying bathing under Moonlight.
"Don't tell me, this is actually the rumoured Shennong Moon Dew." Long Feng looked at the Pill in his hand. He pondered for a while, and since he remembered the effect of this Dew Pill, Long Feng decided to give it to Nan Jing Jing. Of course, she rejected. Since this is a blessing that came out from the piece of Gemstone itself, Long Feng should not become so fussy and calculative and should take that Pill for himself.
Additionally, he was their strongest fighting force at the moment, if Nan Jing Jing could assist in pushing Long Feng strength to rise to another level, what kind of opponent should they fear for the next few Wooden Beast Storm? Just like this, Nan Jing Jing finally managed to persuade this man to take the Pill for himself, as Long Feng swallows the Pill under her Deadly Glaring Eyes.
The moment the Shennong Moonlight Dew entered his body, Long Feng felt amazed. His Wood Elemental Nourishment properties is enhanced by that Shennong Moon Dew by just floating through the element energy, and in that instant, Long Feng's Wood Element suddenly burst with power, and that power soon formed into a foundation, with the little Sprouts within his Elemental Essence Storage, quickly grows into a Young Oak Tree. The tree still possesses not too much energy at the moment, but for now, its initial strength is comparable to Long Feng at his peak strength of Wood Element.

The Shennong Moon Dew continues to floats within Long Feng's body, thoroughly nourish his body and increase his capability in recovering from all his previous injuries. With the body is almost renew into an absolutely fine body, the Shennong Moon Dew continue with its journey, and ends up within Long Feng's Spatial Link Twin Grass Ring's inventory.
Within, the Shennong Moon Dew seemingly looking for a friend. It floats around until it finally found the ordinary looking stone within the Inventory. Like a long lost friend, the Shennong Moon Dew slowly circles around the Charm of Light, until the Charm turned into shining golden threads, as it floats towards the Longevity Soil Ring and started to join together into one single entity. Since Long Feng have no especially attachment with the Charm of Light, he felt no heartache at all, but as soon as he felt that the Longevity Soil Ring no longer seems to be so void of Essence Energy within, he knows that the Ring, is repaired slightly as the Charm of Light bond along with it.
The Shennong Moon Dew looks for its next target as it slowly swam within the Spatial Inventory. It swam through the Qian Kun Soul Wheel and Metallic Turbulence Necklace belonged to Nan Jing Jing before it continues to swim pass the White Stone Pill Cauldron, the Earth Gravity Refining Flask, and soon, the Sky Sealing Net and a worthless 1st Grade Cultivators Pouch.
And like its finally chosen its target, unexpectedly, the Shennong Moon Dew actually chose the Cultivators Pouch and the Sky Sealing Net, as it both being combined into one as well. The two items combined into one, as it still carries the same special effect as the previous. The only difference is, instead of requiring to be charged and launched every single time, it is now becoming a Mass Firing Spirit Tool instead. Not only its ranked increased into a Second Heaven Grade Spirit Tool, its overall power had increased drastically as well.
Lastly, the Shennong Moon Dew finally went towards Long Feng's Dantian, as it starts to envelop his Dantian and all the Essence-Energy within, condensing it even further until it was strong enough to break out from this current shackles. The moment the condensing process reaches its final stage, Long Feng Dantian finally shed its outer layer of a crystallized image and becoming even brighter and stronger in the term of Light.
Just like this, simple and easy, Long Feng actually stands equally with the cultivators if Early Heaven Adept Realm! With the assistance of the Shennong Moon Dew, Long Feng's foundation in Wood Element had risen into the Strong Oak Stage, his Sky Sealing Net became a Heaven Rank Spirit Tool, his cultivation increased into the Early Heaven Stage, and most importantly, his Cracked status Longevity Soil Ring had become damaged instead, no longer came with a Cracked or Destroyed Treasure title within.
This would mean that by now, Long Feng could be had at least a fifteen percent grow capability for the seeds within the ring, which will be slowly used to the nourishment provided within the ring. But Long Feng still felt there is a small lingering energy from the Shennong Moon Dew. "Perhaps it was not yet fully assimilated into my body." Long Feng thought that he is still weak, that's why the Shennong Moon Dew is not completely absorbed into his body.
Then, the two walks near to the cave, only then Nan Jing Jing actually take out the sword at the side of her skirt. The moment Long Feng saw that sword, he immediately grabbed it away from Nan Jing Jing as he was worried that this sword might have a curse within. "Wife, don't touch this sword! From the memory I've obtained, it is because of this sword that the Tribesman is corrupted!" Long Feng hand grabbed the handle of the Sword, and just like this, a shine of memories entered his mind.
"Husband!" Long Feng heard Nan Jing Jing's voice, but it was useless because Long Feng had already been brought into the Imaginary Realm once again. This time, the realm is slightly different. Instead of a void like last time, this Imaginary Realm is like an armoury full of weapons and Tools that could be used in a fight. The swords, Spears, Axe, Sabers, Bows, Mace and Staff, are all arranged beautifully as it floats around the thin air, forming a word [Zhan/Conquer].
In the middle of this Imaginary Realm, a small land enough for a human stands and give respect to the altar appears before his eyes, as the Wooden Sword is proudly standing on the grip that was prepared for it to stand on that podium. And as the Wooden Sword attached on it nicely, a sound started to speaks within the realm, giving Long Feng a shock.
"You Lied! You Lied to me!"
"You promised me before, you will not let me falls into slumber anymore!"
"Mu Dou! You had imprisoned me because of your fear!"
"Mu Dou, release me!"
Long Feng could felt a strong resentment that came from the Wooden Sword. He braves himself and get close to the sword and starts to speaks to the sword. "I am the one that defeated your previous owner," he said. The moment the sword heard his words, it starts to become dim, but in an instant, a green flash of light starts to be released from the podium in a form of nine different waves.
The wave pushed Long Feng fall backward for nine different times, and the moment he finally able to obtains his foothold once again, the Sword begins to speak again. "My owner? That single tribesman that not even possess at least 5% of Mu Dou's blood? Don't joke with me, he is not even entitled to wipe clean my edge! If it's not because I want to find Mu Dou, do you think he would have the chance to become so strong?"
"What a disgrace, even after obtaining a part of my strength, that puny little kid still couldn't properly wield me up perfectly. Not even a single shred of talent inherited from Mu Dou, no wonder his descendants begin to weakened and hunted until they had have to hide in the dark. If that's the case, it seems like there will no longer be any chances for me anymore to be released from this prison."
"Sword, what is your name anyway. Why don't you consider me as your user? I had obtained the inheritance from Ancestor Mu Dou as well." Long Feng speaks as he went back to the podium where the sword stands. As he gets closer, the Sword Aura is getting stronger, until he felt that the blood within him, is boiling and yet churned at the same time.
"You? Hahaha! Dream on, if you have the intention to subdue me. I am a sword that was made with the Weapon Devourer Tree wood. I possess a slight sentience from being nourished by absorbing weapons of my opponents and the Green Moon Gem. Do you want to know my name? Try to subdue my havoc aura first!" the sword allows a path for Long Feng to get closer to the side of the podium, as it allows Long Feng to try and hold the sword's handle.
