Thus, Qin Feng spent three consecutive months traversing this area, searching for the presence of monsters.
He chose to have his Super Red Alert Soldiers deal with the wandering monsters at night, while he remained in the underground fortress, commanding their battles. During the day, he refined Body Tempering Pills and continued to train the Super Red Alert Soldiers.
In three months, the number of his Super Red Alert Soldiers had reached 5,000. This was an astonishing figure. With the aid of the unified attack and defense formation, these 5,000 individuals fought as one, concentrating all their strength to unleash a formidable combat power that even surprised Qin Feng. He believed that his current comprehensive strength was no less than that of the Sect Master of the Qingxuan Sect at the Great Accomplishment stage.
It was a pity, however, that he only possessed such strength now. If he had acquired it earlier, Ye Shen would not have sacrificed his life for him.
But there was still a chance for redemption. As long as his strength reached the Immortal level or above, he could save Ye Shen's life. Qin Feng firmly believed this, for this space was one that created miracles. So many incredible things had happened in the Savage World; saving Ye Shen would surely come to pass as well. With sufficient strength, he could achieve what others could not even imagine.
Qin Feng focused his consciousness on his storage ring. His storage ring was now packed with golden treasures, the unique treasure form of this space. One storage ring was already full, so Qin Feng purchased another from the shop to continue storing the treasures he acquired.
However, there were few monsters left for him to hunt in this region. He had traveled a great distance over these three months. The monsters, which were initially endless, had dwindled to scattered few. He had almost annihilated all the monsters in this area.
But Qin Feng knew this was just the beginning. In other parts of the Extreme Desert, the number of monsters was immense. His current location was merely the tip of the iceberg of the Extreme Desert. Beyond this desert lay a vaster world, with more monsters awaiting him.
Thus, Qin Feng traveled for another two days, but still found no sign of monsters. Qin Feng knew it was time to leave this area. If he stayed here any longer, his strength would not grow further, and without monsters to challenge him, the misfortune hanging over his head could erupt at any moment.
Although his current strength was considerable, he did not wish for unknown forces to endanger his safety. His strength stemmed from his comprehensive power and his formidable Red Alert Legion, but his personal strength was still only at the late Golden Core stage, which was too weak. He needed to enhance his own strength to the point where he feared no threat.
Now that he possessed a vast Red Alert Legion to protect him, placing him in a position of absolute safety, he could focus on improving his own physical strength. Therefore, Qin Feng stopped refining Body Tempering Pills and began to refine pills that would increase his own power.
With the continuous advancements and pill refining over these three months, his alchemy experience had also grown. He was now a successful alchemist, producing pills of high quality with a high success rate. There were many types of pills that could increase his strength, and these were all relatively simple compared to Body Tempering Pills, with a very high chance of successful refinement.
With this thought, Qin Feng no longer hesitated. He took out his alchemy furnace and medicinal ingredients to refine pills and enhance his strength.
Upon completing the first batch of pills, Qin Feng unhesitatingly consumed them all, then sat in meditation to absorb their medicinal effects.
The power within Qin Feng surged like a great river, a special effect produced by the stimulation of the pills. With the augmentation of such immense power, Qin Feng had touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage. He could feel the power within him rapidly gathering, and the Golden Core within his body was on the verge of collapse, marking the crucial moment of Golden Core shattering and Nascent Soul formation.
At this moment, a celestial phenomenon appeared in the sky, a special anomaly that only those in the Nascent Soul stage could manifest. If anyone in this area were to witness it, they would be greatly astonished. Cultivating one's power in the Extreme Desert was a perilous undertaking. Such wondrous celestial phenomena would attract the attention of surrounding monsters, making it a highly dangerous act. If the critical moment of power advancement were interrupted by monsters, one's strength would significantly decline, and life itself could be at risk.
After all, at such a time, a person would have little ability to retaliate. However, Qin Feng was different. He was guarded by his vast Red Alert Legion, rendering him fearless of any threat. Let alone the monsters in this area, even a master at the Mahayana stage would have to weigh their options carefully if they came here.
The formidable might generated by the 5,000 Super Red Alert Soldiers, united by the unified attack and defense formation, would make even gods and demons hesitate. Therefore, Qin Feng could enhance his strength without any reservations.
Under the influence of the celestial phenomenon, the Nascent Soul within Qin Feng finally formed. He successfully transitioned from the late Golden Core stage to the early Nascent Soul stage.
Qin Feng let out a long sigh. The advancement in his cultivation realm had brought about a comprehensive increase in his strength.
Qin Feng opened his status panel to review his attributes.
[Name]: Qin Feng
[Level]: 166 (166/9999)
[Reputation]: 28
[Strength]: 34000
[Agility]: 48000
[Constitution]: 32000
[Spirit]: 30000
[Talent]: SSS-class "Red Alert Domain"
[Skills]: None
[Combat Power]: 4000
[Gold]: 6205986
He nodded with satisfaction. Merely advancing one cultivation realm had doubled his comprehensive strength. He wondered what terrifying heights he would reach if he attained the Mahayana stage or even became an Immortal.
Qin Feng felt a sense of anticipation.
Qin Feng sensed his surroundings. His perception had also doubled. He could feel that there were no monsters nearby; it was a completely desolate area.
He couldn't help but murmur to himself, "It seems I've eliminated most of the monsters in this area. It's time to move to a different location!"
At the same time, he glanced at his 5,000 Super Red Alert Soldiers and fell into thought.
Each of these Super Red Alert Soldiers possessed immense power, but their strength lay primarily in their attack and defense. Although their speed was also quite fast, it had its limits. To leave this area and reach other places, the fastest method would be sword flight, but these Super Red Alert Soldiers did not possess such speed to keep up with him.
If he were to travel alone by sword flight, he might encounter powerful monsters in other regions. If his 5,000 formidable Super Red Alert Soldiers could not keep up, he would be in considerable danger.
If he were to purchase helicopters, the 5,000-plus Super Red Alert Soldiers flying in the air would lack combat effectiveness. If they encountered flying monsters, it would be extremely dangerous.
Although their physical bodies were robust, and they would not die even if they fell from tens of thousands of meters high, it would take a considerable amount of time to set up the unified attack and defense formation, as these 5,000 individuals could not all land simultaneously.
Now, the only option was to upgrade them in a batch, transforming them into even more powerful Super Red Alert Soldiers.
