After Shen Yuan uttered the two words “Yellow River”, the joy Sun Lan Yu initially felt from receiving the Dragon Palace Edict completely morphed into terror.

Yellow River, True Dragon, without a doubt in the whole Primal Chaos Realm, the only entity capable of amalgamating these two terms was the Yellow River Dragon Palace.

Although everyone placed the Four Waterways on the same position, Sun Lan Yu, who was from the servant clan of the River Ji Dragon Palace, was well aware that the hierarchy difference among the Four Waterways is much larger than what outsiders imagined.

Especially the Yellow River Dragon Palace, which led the Four Waterways, its heritage is long and hallowed. The previous River God who controlled the Aquatic Tribe came from the Yellow River.

If the Heavenly Court hadn’t deliberately weakened the influence of the Yellow River and helped to establish the other three Dragon Palaces, there wouldn’t have been the existence of the Four Waterways Dragon Palaces at all.

The Yellow River Dragon Palace was the Overlord of all Aquatic Tribes.

The appearance of the River Ji Dragon Seal in a particular Secret Realm within the scope of Yellow River, and the presence of a True Dragon by its side meant that the Yellow River Dragon Palace had fully intervened in the affairs of the River Ji Dragon Palace.

“Could it be that the Yellow River Dragon Palace has begun to feel unsatisfied with the River Ji Dragon Palace?”

“Or could it be that after cutting off relations with the Heavenly Court for tens of thousands of years, is it preparing to reclaim the rights of the Aquatic Tribes’ Overlord, and its first target is the River Ji Dragon Palace?”

At this moment, Sun Lan Yu looked at the Dragon Palace Edict in his hands without the previous fervor.

Right now, in his eyes, this Dragon Palace Edict had become a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment.

This involved a struggle between two Dragon Palaces, he, a minor figure, would be completely crushed if he got involved.

Sun Lan Yu did not doubt the truth of Shen Yuan’s words.

Because the Dragon Palace Edict could judge the accuracy of information, every word of Shen Yuan was verified by the Dragon Palace Edict.

If all else fails, all the other information could possibly be forged by Shen Yuan, but the news about the True Dragon was absolutely impossible to fake.

Sun Lan Yu felt an icy chill in his heart, regretting that he took on this task.

“If I could go back a few hours, I wouldn’t get involved in this affair even if it kills me.”

With his teethe gritted, Sun Lan Yu’s eyes were bloodshot, he didn’t know what to do.

“That’s right! Since he knows so much information, perhaps he has a way out!”

Sun Lan Yu’s eyes brightened and he quickly sent a message trying to threaten and entice him.

However, the next moment, a large red exclamation mark appeared before Sun Lan Yu’s eyes.

…

“Starting from today, this pond shall be called the Yellow River Spirit Pool.”

Shen Yuan, quite seriously, pointed to the large rock by the pondside that he had just carved and introduced it to the cat and fish in front of him.

After casually creating the Yellow River Spirit Pool to annoy Sun Lan Yu, Shen Yuan didn’t bother about how Sun Lan Yu and the River Ji Dragon Palace behind him would continue to fabricate things, and directly blocked him.

Since the scripture depository and the Enlightenment Array Formation have already been constructed, there was no need for Shen Yuan to put his energy into the Dao Forums.

If Sun Lan Yu hadn’t insisted on threatening him, Shen Yuan wouldn’t have bothered to come up with all these things.

For Shen Yuan, the current priority is to organize the harvest he had in the Dao Forums.

Thinking about this, Shen Yuan immediately returned to the house and decided to organize and start learning immediately.

Having just advanced to the Qi Transformation Stage, Shen Yuan indeed needed to supplement some basic knowledge about the Cultivation World.

However, what Shen Yuan didn’t expect was that just sorting out and studying these things took more than a month.

…

In front of the stone table in the courtyard, the weather was gradually getting cooler and the Jujube tree’s leaves were gradually withering and falling. The falling leaves covered the ground, forming a carpet.

But of whether it was intentional or unintentional, not a single leaf from the Jujube tree fell on the stone table under the tree.

The swaying branches and leaves in the breeze, precisely avoided falling onto the stone table, seemingly with the intention to not disturb Shen Yuan sitting in front of the table.

Shen Yuan now hold a fine, small knife in hand, carefully carving a delicate-looking puppet’s head.

The mana-imbued blade easily carved the wood block in his hand, the beautiful carvings dancing on it made the palm-sized puppet begin to show signs of another kind of vitality.

After a while, he put down the knife slowly and placed the puppet head onto the ready-made puppet body beside him.

With simple round joints connecting the arm and thighs, the wooden mechanical parts powered by gears, on its back a huge spiritual array was constantly inhaling the rich spiritual energy around it.

As the puppet’s head was put in place, the puppet seemed to have been given a strange life force, its arm started to slowly lift.

“Crack!”

Suddenly, a dull cracking sound erupted. A crack spread from the puppet’s arm straight to its chest. The offbeat vitality that emerged on the puppet vanished instantly.

With the collapse of the inscription, the entire puppet was completely damaged.

Upon seeing this situation, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but furrow his brows and sigh:

“As expected, normal wood still cannot support the manufacture of a puppet.”

Shen Yuan waved his hand, and a space rift swallowed all the puppet remains.

After all this, Shen Yuan slowly stood up and looked towards the jujube tree that was slowly shedding its withered leaves.

“Time really flies in cultivation!”

Shen Yuan expressed a soft sigh.

It had been more than a month since the scripture depository was established and the Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation was acquired.

In this period, Shen Yuan did not venture out, instead, he began categorizing the more than eleven thousand cultivation documents, choosing categories that he could use for his cultivation studies.

Among those more than eleven thousand cultivation scriptures, for each major category like Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Formation, Talisman, Spirit Plant, and puppetry, there were corresponding entry-level texts. But the deeper extended skills often involved the core secrets of many texts, so they were basically incomplete.

After realizing this, Shen Yuan gave up the idea of in-depth study.

After all, Shen Yuan’s research into cultivation techniques was fundamentally to complete his main task. It was enough to taste and perceive the entry level of the six major types of cultivation techniques.

In the categories of Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Formation, and Spirit Plant, Shen Yuan could say he learned quite a lot.

The first was Artifact Refining. Shen Yuan knew well that he could not specialize in any one of the cultivation techniques. So, he prepared to focus on a specific direction during his research.

Due to the existence of the Pot’s Heaven Divine Power that could create storage magic artifacts, Shen Yuan naturally chose to lean towards the production of storage magic artifacts.

In fact, the production of storage magic artifacts is not extremely difficult. The real difficulty lies in the need for Void Mine to create space.

However, the Void Mine is rare and several occurrences of Spirit Energy depletion have almost completely abandoned the existing Void Mine. It can only be collected from the outer starry skies, which also leads to the scarcity of storage magic artifacts.

In order to better use the remaining Void Mine, the Artifact Refining masters have demonstrated their divine skills and left multiple technologies for the production of storage magic artifacts, trying to use the least amount of Void Mine to make storage magic artifacts that are larger and more stable.

The ideas left by these Artifact Refining masters brought great inspiration to Shen Yuan. Combined with the fact that Shen Yuan did not need to spend precious Void Mine to create space, he had no worries about practicing this aspect.

Through repeated experiments, Shen Yuan gradually mastered the inscriptions and formations that stabilize space and attempted to integrate them into Pot’s Heaven Divine Power.

As he researched the inscriptions and formations of space and made storage magic artifacts using spirit objects, Shen Yuan also easily gained entry into the road of Artifact Refining and further advanced his understanding of Pot’s Heaven Divine Power.

In this process, the enlightenment provided by the Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation played a significant role for Shen Yuan, turning him from a mediocre to a genius in the field of Artifact Refining.

On the path of Alchemy, Shen Yuan did not have as many shortcuts. For Alchemy, Shen Yuan’s strategy can be summarized into two words.

Spend money!

Using the flesh and blood of the Qi Training Stage flood dragon great demon to refine the most fundamental blood vitality pill, no one in the Cultivation World could be more extravagant than Shen Yuan.

In fact, Shen Yuan himself had no choice. The Spirit Energy tidal surge had just recurred, and the value of spirit plants was low, and the output was small, so he couldn’t take out the materials for his alchemy.

In order to complete the main task as soon as possible, Shen Yuan had to grit his teeth and choose to use the flood dragon flesh and blood to make pills.

The more than ten-meter-long flood dragon flesh and blood were consumed quickly, but Shen Yuan made rapid progress on the path of Alchemy.

From the initial furnace explosion and waste of materials to the present, where a single furnace of materials could produce eight blood vitality pills, Shen Yuan successfully forced his way into the art of Alchemy with his wealth.

Strictly speaking, the path of Formation is the hardest among the six skills because it values inheritance and talent the most.

But for Shen Yuan, Formation is the simplest.

The blessing of the Sainthood Attainment Enlightenment Array Formation made Shen Yuan’s study as if he had divine help.

In addition, among the more than eleven thousand cultivation scriptures, there were more than four hundred involved in formations, which could cover all basic formations and inscriptions. It solved Shen Yuan’s worries and allowed him to successfully embark on the road of Formation half a month ago.

For the path of Spirit Plant, Shen Yuan had unique conditions.

For low-grade spirit plants, the most important thing is Spirit Energy. As long as Spirit Energy is abundant, any kind of environment and pests can be resisted, and what the courtyard secret realm does not lack is Spirit Energy.

Upon burying the spirit plant seeds sent by the Fu Family in the spiritual farm in the courtyard, the spirit plants easily took root and sprouted in this rich Spirit Energy.

With the advantage of the spiritual farm conditions, Shen Yuan also achieved entry-level status in spirit plant cultivation for his main task.

By now, among the six major skills, only Talisman and Puppetry had not been mastered.

In fact, Shen Yuan had conducted sufficient practical research on these two types of skills during the past month. The real reason that bothered Shen Yuan and prevented him from mastering them was still a lack of materials.

Talismans require spirit paper, a spirit brush, and spirit ink.

Spirit ink can be made from flood dragon blood, so Shen Yuan is not lacking in materials.

But spirit paper and spirit brushes require special skills and materials, and Shen Yuan currently couldn’t find any available substitutes.

As for puppetry, although Shen Yuan could use transcendent skills, the production of puppets required special spirit wood that could guide the Spirit Energy.

And because of the size of the puppets, the amount of spirit wood needed would not be small.

Given the current level of resurgence of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge, it would be difficult to buy this spirit wood even with money.

With no options left, Shen Yuan could only modify it according to his own experience in Formation, trying to produce puppets that could be driven by ordinary wood.

But obviously, such an experiment failed miserably.

“Under wealth, law, land, and companionship, there’s a reason why wealth is considered first,”

Shen Yuan sighed, and a twist appeared in the space around her right hand. The next moment, the splendid invitation from Zhang Jiujin appeared in his hand.

This was an invitation sent by Xue Mingzhi a few days ago. It was said that several hidden sects and monster tribes were working together to open a cultivation market on Yunfu Mountain. This invitation was issued by the hidden sects to major families and prodigies.

This invitation sent by Xue Mingzhi was from the Xue Family, but Xue Mingzhi gave it to Shen Yuan.

“A market? There should be plenty of good things. It should be no problem to make up for the spirit objects needed for talisman and puppetry.”

“However, before I go, there are few things that need to be slightly handled.”

As the voice fell, his internal Mana began to boil, and a large amount of Spirit Energy began to rush into Shen Yuan’s body, and his long hair, which was already getting long, danced in the wind.

Accompanied by the breaking of the invisible barrier, Shen Yuan’s breath suddenly changed, and the abundant Spirit Energy was instantly converted into Mana, filling his Dantian.

Achieved the Middle Stage of Qi Transformation!
