"Qing Mountain is almost done over there..."

In just the time it took for the two of them to speak, Song Qingshan had also reached the end of his process, with his previously restless aura gradually calming down.

A few more minutes passed, and Song Qingshan finally opened his eyes. His Grandmaster-level aura was much more restrained, and he appeared more composed overall.

"Thank you, brothers!"

Song Qingshan walked over and expressed his deep gratitude to Qin Fang and the others.

He was more aware of the situation than anyone else; without the help of Qin Fang and the other three, he wouldn't have succeeded in breaking through this time.

If he failed this time, his hopes of advancing within the next few years would be slim, given how precious such an opportunity was.

This kind of elixir for enhancing skills is most effective when taken for the first time, with the best results, especially with the aid of Golden Dragon Saliva; this advancement opportunity was undoubtedly ideal.

If he missed this chance, even if Song Qingshan still had elixirs and Golden Dragon Saliva, the effectiveness would be greatly reduced, making it even more difficult.

"We're brothers; don't mention it..."

Faced with Song Qingshan's genuine gratitude, Qin Fang and the other three understood his feelings, but they didn't respond in the same formal way. After all, they ventured into Japan together, entrusting their lives to one another, making such words unnecessary and a bit of a barrier if said too much...

"Yes, we are brothers!"

Song Qingshan nodded seriously with a beaming smile.

"Alright, everyone has gained something, so we can all be happy. Quite some time has passed; let's head back..."

Qin Fang grinned; they had been out for a few hours, and it wasn't far from noon, so it was indeed time to return.

After all, their mission was finally complete... although Qin Fang hadn't yet fully fused with the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, he was wary of causing too much of a sensation!

The emergence of the Divine Sword is no small affair; it's said that even heaven and earth would change. While Qin Fang wasn't entirely convinced, the old legends insisted on such, so he had to be cautious.

The secret land was the ideal location for fusion, but ultimately Qin Fang decided against it—as with refining elixirs, Qin Fang feared that the commotion might attract the Supreme Fierce Beast.

If it reached that point, even with six Grandmaster-level experts, they might not be a match for the Supreme Fierce Beast.

The terror of a top-tier spiritual beast's power isn't something Qin Fang could assess; it's an absolutely fearsome existence.

"Forget it, find a hidden place to fuse when needed..."

However, Qin Fang reconsidered, as the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword was already a divine weapon-level armament. Though it might not compare to the Ten Great Divine Weapons, few could rival it.

Unless luck was really against them, encountering treasures of the Ten Great Divine Weapons' level, the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword would generally not be at a disadvantage.

So there was no rush for fusion, and Qin Fang temporarily set it aside.

The matters concerning the four of them concluded, and each had made significant progress, especially the three who reached the Grandmaster-level, with their strength instantly soaring.

Although Qin Fang hadn't advanced, his strength also took a substantial leap. In a simple sparring with Monk Wukong, without using their ultimate killer moves, the two ended in a draw.

And even in a deadly duel with all their killer moves unleashed, the result would probably be the same... Monk Wukong had his killer secret techniques, but Qin Fang was also adept at secret techniques.

Ji Xiang naturally joined the sparring since he had just stepped into the Grandmaster-level, though the outcome left him quite disgraced.

Even before advancing, he wasn't a match for Qin Fang. Now, after reaching the Grandmaster-level, despite the qualitative leap in his strength closing the gap with Qin Fang, he was still beaten by an unadvanced Qin Fang...

What frustrated him most was that the secret technique from the Shadow Demon God Manuscript he had just mastered, Qin Fang somehow also learned it, and even... seemed to have mastered a complete version, while his own was an inferior one!

Given the situation, Qin Fang generously supplemented the missing parts for Ji Xiang. As for the origin of this complete secret technique, Qin Fang didn't elaborate, and Ji Xiang didn't inquire further.

Originally the weakest, Song Qingshan gained the most during this trip to Japan, unequivocally!

Before coming to Japan, Song Qingshan's ability was at the late Master Level, nearing its peak. But now, he was a steady Grandmaster-level expert, and due to taking the Buddha's Hand Vajra, his Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover bodily defenses were formidable enough that even Grandmaster Mid-Stage experts struggled to break through...

Indeed, because of this, Ji Xiang, itching for a fight, gave up the desire to spar with Song Qingshan, and even Qin Fang and Monk Wukong refrained, knowing better than to endure futile beatings!

Among them, Qin Fang still had the strongest attack power, but when it came to defense, Song Qingshan was undoubtedly the best.
