Having accepted Tu Wuzhao's task, Fang Qingyuan wanted to complete it as quickly as possible. Thus, he couldn't yet spare the time to study his newly obtained *Liu Yu Celestial Demon Transformation*. Instead, he took Qiqi to the Barbaric Land, found Xiong Feng, and picked up Jinbao, who had been training there for some time.
After being trained under Xiong Feng, Jinbao's vitality was clearly much stronger. As a Nascent Soul Ancient Beast, any casual techniques Xiong Feng imparted about the application of Gold Spirit Power were more than enough for Jinbao to benefit from endlessly.
Upon learning that Fang Qingyuan was working for Tu Wuzhao and had to travel to Awakening Lion Valley, Xiong Feng suggested that Qiqi accompany him as backup.
As a demonic beast at the Golden Core Perfection Realm, Qiqi was so powerful that she could protect herself without worry, as long as she didn't encounter an opponent with Nascent Soul Battle Power.
