The next few weeks moved swiftly as they made their way to Yuan City. Hong Zhao had hunted many different fierce beasts using his devouring qi claws. During the night, they would hunt and move and during the day, they would cultivate. At most, they would get two hours of sleep within a week. Being disciple ranked cultivators, they rarely needed to sleep in order to keep a clear head. Nor was it that important for them to eat more than one meal a day, which they would have close to sunrise before they began cultivating. With this routine, Hong Zhao had made it to the eighth star disciple rank.

As they neared the capital, they confronted even fiercer beasts and Hong Zhao became the proud owner of two three ninth star disciple ranked beast cores. He refined his sword and Ren Cai's odachi before they headed out once more.
