After purchasing the Half-step Divine Realm Peak Demon Pill, Huang Xiaolong rented a small courtyard in a tavern in Xuanwu City and began to close up for cultivation.
With over nine months left before the assessment started, Huang Xiaolong would refine ten Demon Cores each day and spend the rest time practicing Combat Skills, Ancient Puppet Technique, and Soul Skills.
Occasionally, he would go out for a leisurely stroll and have a drink.
Life was tense but comfortable.
Of course, the expenses were not low.
The small courtyard rented by Huang Xiaolong cost over a thousand Xuanwu Coins per day, and a good bottle of wine could cost several thousand Xuanwu Coins.
Originally, Huang Xiaolong had wanted to buy a mansion directly in Xuanwu City, but he was startled by the prices; even the smallest was three to four hundred million!
Moreover, only elite disciples of the Xuanwu Academy were eligible to purchase them.
