Earth Refining Art, Heaven Mending Art, Yu Ying's Shock

Venerable Lanchuan told Zhao Xing to rest for three years, but Zhao Xing arrived at Venerable Lanchuan's cave, which resembled an eagle's head, three months ahead of schedule.

"Didn't I tell you to rest for three years to consolidate your physical body?" Venerable Lanchuan asked.

"I have completed it," Zhao Xing said.

"In that case, choose a position." Venerable Lanchuan tossed Zhao Xing a Dao Book that recorded various positions.

Yushen Province has only been established for a few decades, but it is still expanding. It has a large population, but it lacks high-end talent.

Zhao Xing looked around and found that although there seemed to be many job openings, there were only two places where it was easy to make money.

First is the Nine Yin River.

The border of Yushen Province is still some distance from the Nine Yin River, and God Yu wants to divert the Nine Yin River Water into the state.

However, the Nine Yin River is very special. Its water quality is extremely heavy and contains a lot of poison, making it very difficult to divert it into Yushen Province.

Most of its areas are difficult to divert traffic from. The areas where traffic can be easily diverted, however, are in competition with Moon God State.

However, Yushen Province cannot expand without the Nine Yin River, because the Soul Well needs Yin water to nourish it, and the higher the quality, the better. In addition, it also produces high-end resources such as Bone Spirit Stone.

Secondly, the Ten Thousand Soul Well of Ten Thousand Soul Well is located outside of Yushen Province, within Misty Dao Obstacle that is even larger than both Yushen Province and Moon God State.

Elsewhere, Soul Well are scattered and of low quality, but in the Ten Thousand Soul Well area, Soul Well are very densely packed, though equally dangerous.

It is rich in Soul Crystal, but the Sky Patrol Divine Guard need the guidance of the Earth God Official to go there.

"God Official Lanchuan, I want to go to the Nine Yin River to dredge the riverbed, or to the Ten Thousand Soul Well," Zhao Xing said, expressing his thoughts.

Venerable Lanchuan was not surprised. He could see that Zhao Xing had reached the bottleneck of "Dharma". At his current level, it would be difficult for Zhao Xing to improve his magical abilities any further.

The greatest need right now is to break through the barriers between the True Spirit and the Dharma Body to become Demigod.

"I have no plans to go to the Ten Thousand Soul Well of Ten Thousand Soul Well for the time being, and besides, you haven't accomplished anything yet, so it wouldn't be appropriate to take you there."

"Go to Moon-Gazing City and start cultivating the Nine Yin River," said the God Official Lanchuan.

"This is the Earth Refining Art."

"You can come back to me once you complete one water-drawing task."

"Yu Ying has also been sent here, so you can set off with him."

"Yes."

"Chen'an, you actually have disciples of the Divine Fire Sect serving you." Yu Ying and Zhao Xing teleported together to Moon-Gazing City. He discovered that the servants Zhao Xing brought were not simple. They all possessed the Li Fire Dao Bone and had the unique mark of the Divine Fire Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Yu Ying is no ordinary person either, she actually has the Dragon Race Clan at her service." Zhao Xing Xingyi looked at Yu Ying, who was sitting on a chariot pulled by four bone dragons, all of which were of high level.

"These four Dragon Race were all Eight Tribulation Emperor Lord in the mortal realm, and they voluntarily came to the Bone Netherworld with me," Yu Ying with some pride.

Dragon Race are rare these days, and she spent many years cultivating them in the mortal realm.

"Which sect does Fellow Daoist Yu Ying belong to in the mortal realm?" Zhao Xing inquired, eager to know the situation in the mortal realm of the Profound Yellow World.

"The Earth Sea Divine Sect." Yu Ying's expression held a hint of pride, but she noticed that Zhao Xing didn't react much to this, so she was also very curious about Zhao Xing's sect.

"And you Chen'an?"

"I'm a rogue cultivator," Zhao Xing said casually.

Having been in the White Bone Divine Domain for many years, he was certain that he had entered another dimension.

Perhaps it was the former Profound Yellow World, a period before the Chenluo Desolate Territory became Desolate Territory, or even possibly one of the Five Emperors ' eras.

But Zhao Xing was puzzled, because he had never heard of the Five Emperors in the mortal realm of the Profound Yellow World.

Assuming my speculation is correct, does that mean the Profound Yellow World has absolutely no communication with the outside world?

Whose territory was the Chenluo Desolate Territory in history? Was it the Bone God Yuan?

"With so many powerful figures, they must have been nameless and faceless in the history of the Profound Yellow World. Could they have been deleted?" Zhao Xing wondered to himself.

Upon arriving at Moon-Gazing City, Zhao Xing and Yu Ying immediately went to pay their respects to another Earth God Official, Jin Yue.

Looking down from the sky, Moon-Gazing City appears very simple, but there are a large number of skeletons carrying various materials like ants.

The entire Moon-Gazing City, both inside and outside, is desolate. Only in the east of the city is there a place full of life, with Spiritual Qi Plants. The rest of the city is a region with heavy yin energy.

Jin Yue is Demigod of the thirteenth rank and a direct subordinate of the Great God Official Dong Jun.

He doesn't concern himself with specific matters; he usually stays at home cultivating in seclusion, only appearing when a powerful enemy attacks Moon-Gazing City.

After meeting Zhao Xing and Yu Ying, he only exchanged a few simple words with them.

" Within Moon-Gazing City, apart from those who are also members of the Sky Patrol Divine Guard, you can freely mobilize all the skeletal beings as laborers, and it doesn't matter if they die."

"I don't care how you divert the river, but 70% of any harvest must be handed over to you."

"Of course, if you can successfully create a treasure pool, you can get even more, but no one has been able to do that in recent years."

"Don't bother me if there's nothing wrong."

After saying these words, Venerable Jinyue dismissed Zhao Xing and Yu Ying.

"All skeletal creatures can be used as laborers, and it doesn't matter if they die?" Zhao Xing looked up from the sky at the row of stupid-looking skeletons standing in the city.

Although their True Spirit Fire Seed was pure, it appeared rather stagnant.

"Of course, they're not really dead," Yu Ying said matter-of-factly. "There are about 100,000 Skeleton Soldiers and 100 Soul Well in the city."

"They'll crawl out of the Soul Well after they die, and we can use them as we please."

"We can make these Skeleton Soldiers obey by using the Sky Patrol Divine Talisman."

Seeing that Zhao Xing was thinking, Yu Ying had no intention of continuing the conversation with him.

"Emperor Lord Chen An, I'll be taking my leave now."

Yu Ying waved his hand, and a large amount of light scattered down, then swept away about 50,000 Skeleton Soldiers and flew eastward.

Zhao Xing shook his head and waved his hand, taking away the remaining 50,000 Skeleton Soldiers.

The 50,000 Skeleton Soldiers can transmit their thoughts through Divine Talisman, making anything they want happen.

Having died too many times, their memories have been almost completely forgotten, and their intelligence has been greatly reduced. They are skeletal beings with only a brute force.

Zhao Xing could easily control them, but they weren't good at anything too delicate; they were really only good at physical labor.

Zhao Xing thought of Wei Tianchen. If there was no true death in Yuan's divine realm, then was Wei Tianchen also resurrected from a Soul Well?

"They all possessed the strength of a Three Tribulation Emperor Lord Realm, yet they've been reduced to mere puppets, devoid of independent thought. What difference is there between them and being dead?" Zhao Xing shook his head, ceasing his thoughts.

Yu Ying went to the east, Zhao Xing went to the north of Moon-Gazing City.

Diverting the Nine Yin River Water into the Yushen Province is a process of turning waste into treasure.

Zhao Xing chose a barren plain and used the Earth Splitting Art to create five hundred underground caves.

A ten-mile radius burrow entrance was formed, and then 50,000 Skeleton Soldiers jumped down to continue expanding it.

Once they had gone three hundred miles into the territory, they began digging tunnels horizontally, leading all the way to a section of the Nine Yin River.

One year later, the infrastructure project was completed.

Zhao Xing withdrew all the Skeleton Soldiers and began to inspect the tunnel.

At this time, a large underground labyrinth had appeared beneath the plain, and many holes had been dug out from the Earth Vein.

Zhao Xing began the second step: moving the abandoned Soul Well.

Abandoned Soul Well are everywhere in Moon-Gazing City.

Zhao Xing moved five people to the plain.

They then began to use the Earth Treasury Art, the Vein Guiding Art, and the Earth Shatter Art in the underground labyrinth to reinforce and adjust it.

If you were to look down into the ground at this moment, you could see an underground labyrinth that looks a lot like an alchemy furnace!

Yes, this is the Earth Refining Art that Venerable Lanchuan taught him!

"The Earth Refining Art utilizes the power of the Earth Vein to create an underground furnace, which is used to refine underground treasures."

"The material is the Nine Yin River Water, and the medium is the Soul Well."

"The first level of the Earth Refining Art produces only one type of item, which is Bone Spirit Stone."

"The second level of the Earth Refining Art, the Soul Well Rebirth, will produce Soul Crystal."

"At the third level of the Earth Refining Art, when the Soul Well advances, it will give birth to skeletal servants that can obey commands."

"Venerable Lanchuan is quite a formidable figure," Zhao Xing remarked, looking at the Earth Refining Art.

It was created by Venerable Lanchuan, and only the third level has been created so far. But Zhao Xing thinks these three levels are amazing because they can give birth to skeleton life forms at the highest level of Six Tribulation Emperor Lord Realm.

If it continues to be improved, Venerable Lanchuan may very well create a Divine Art!

"This earth -Earth Refining Art is quite similar to the Life Earth Palace." Zhao Xing comprehended the first level in his first year of study, and he felt that Venerable Lanchuan was indeed a remarkable person.

A year later, water vapor appeared in all five Soul Well, and gurgling water soon emerged from the abandoned Soul Well, which were three hundred miles deep.

"The Nine Yin River Water is filtered through layers of the Earth Vein. By the time it reaches me, it has been freed from its deadly poison and is no longer heavy."

Zhao Xing looked at the rich spiritual energy generated in the Soul Well, and there were even some sparkling particles in the crystal-clear water.

"Whoosh~"

Zhao Xing reached out and grabbed a dozen or so grains, which appeared in his hand.

"Bone Spirit Stone, this is the Bone Spirit Stone for advancing the bone body, but it's only at a low level right now, so it's of no use to me."

"I wonder what methods the other Sky Patrol Divine Guard and Earth God Official have to turn waste into treasure."

"Senior Divine Mirror, may I spy on them?"

Zhao Xing knew that many Sky Patrol Divine Guard and Earth God Official were doing this along the river.

Not only the Agricultural Official, but also the array masters and blacksmiths among the Mechanism Master were collecting materials around a certain section of the Nine Yin River.

In fact, this is a kind of test. For example, Aiyisuo directly collected medicinal herbs in the Nine Yin River, but that kind of test is even more difficult.

"It's possible, but I can't guarantee you won't be discovered," said the spirit of the Eight Directions Divine Mirror. "After all, I'm not the strongest Fate Master Divine Artifact. If you're spying on others, you might still be discovered."

"Of course, you can take a look at the Sky Patrol Divine Guard and Earth God Official. Heaven God Official must possess divine artifacts."

"Okay, let's look at these two levels and learn from other people's experiences."

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Zhao Xing has been in the wasteland north of Moon-Gazing City for ten years.

Three hundred thousand miles east of Moon-Gazing City, Yu Ying looked at the Soul Well below, where spring water was gushing out, and couldn't help but smile.

"Finally, I've mastered the first level. This Earth Refining Art is truly difficult."

"I wonder what level Emperor Lord Chen An has reached. When he first obtained the Earth Refining Art, he seemed completely unfamiliar with it. He must be slower than me, right?"

"In another ten years, everyone will have to return to Moon-Gazing City to hand over tribute."

"At my current pace, I should be able to refine 100 high-grade Bone Spirit Crystal in ten years, and submit 70 of them."

"At the Tribute Feast, rewards will be given based on merit. I don't expect to receive any rewards; I just hope I won't be at the bottom."

"I wonder if Emperor Lord Chen An will be able to cultivate to the first level in ten years."

Yu Ying really wanted to go to Zhao Xing's territory to give him some pointers, but she was, after all, a Venerable One. If anyone should be asking for advice, it would be Zhao Xing asking her. How could she be so proactive?

"Never mind, he'll probably come to me for advice after the Tribute Feast."

On the Soul Well Plain, Zhao Xing frowned as he looked at the five Soul Well.

"I have completed the second level, and all five Soul Well have regained their vitality. However, this has reduced the rate at which they produce Bone Spirit Stone, resulting in the production of useless Skeleton Generals."

"Even though I suppress it, the probability of getting gems is still affected."

"I've only accumulated 30,000 Bone Spirit Stone so far. After deducting the portion that needs to be handed over, I can only keep 9,000 for myself. That's far from enough for my breakthrough."

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and then called Bai Lanjun and the other two over.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

"Xiao Bai, use the Fire Pond to teleport to Moon-Gazing City, and bring me a few more Soul Well. I don't need to transfer any more Skeleton Soldiers; I want to expand the scale."

"Yes, sir."

Bai Lanjun, along with Hu Qing and Yan Jun, began their operation.

As soon as the three left, Fu Mengzhen walked over gracefully, her smile alluring, "Your Majesty, it's time for dual cultivation."

Zhao Xing glanced at Fu Mengzhen. Now her flesh and blood had almost recovered, and her figure was curvaceous. Because of her skill in dancing and music, her temperament was also outstanding, with a touch of bewitching charm amidst her ethereal beauty.

"I need to retreat for meditation today, my beloved consort, please go and rest first," Zhao Xing refused Fu Mengzhen.

"No, Your Majesty, it's been months since we practiced dual cultivation together."

Fu Mengzhen pestered Zhao Xing for a while, but seeing that her "Dao Companion" was unmoved, she had no choice but to leave with a sense of resentment.

"Fu Mengzhen almost recovered." Zhao Xing looked at the other's back. "Old Wei's remaining Dao Heart Bewildering Medicine can last for another hundred years. After that, I don't know what to do with her."

Putting that matter aside, Zhao Xing began to look at the cultivation notes left behind by Wei Tianchen.

The second level of the Earth Refining Art brought the Soul Well back to life, and Zhao Xing mastered it in the third year.

The medical books left behind by Wei Tianchen played an indispensable role, because Wei Tianchen's medical philosophy was to heal the world!

By drawing inferences from one instance to another, Zhao Xing also gained a lot of inspiration while practicing his Earth Refining Art.

"Heal the heavens and earth, prove the Great Dao, slay gods Returning the Dao— "

Holding a medical book in one hand and shimmering with Golden Light in the other, Zhao Xing arrived at one of the Soul Well.

Looking at the skeletal life growing inside, he suddenly pointed.

"Boom!"

The illusory image of the skeletal life form that was gathering was instantly shattered, turning into clusters of light, which eventually coalesced into Bone Spirit Crystal.

Zhao Xing's heart stirred. Instead of retrieving the Bone Spirit Crystal, he took advantage of the fact that they hadn't fully formed.

Using the "Heaven Mending Method" recorded in Wei Tianchen's medical book, these orbs of light were driven to merge into the Soul Well.

"Boom!"

The soul merged with the hollow skeleton, which then emitted a pure white light and began to expand autonomously.

Strands of chaotic energy Entanglement the Soul Well, resembling the manifestation of some kind of celestial Dao.

"Hmm? I sense that the Soul Well seems stronger than before. Could it be that the third level of the Earth Refining Art has incorporated medical theory? Is this the correct direction for comprehending the third level?"

"Old Wei is truly a talent," Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Unexpectedly, reading Wei Tianchen's medical book again today yielded new insights, actually leading him to the path to the third level of the Earth Refining Art.

Following this direction, Zhao Xing began to comprehend it.

In the fifth year, I mastered the third level of the Earth Refining Art!

At this time, Zhao Xing had only been in the Barren Plain Moon-Gazing City for fifteen years, yet he had already fully mastered the secret technique created by Venerable Lanchuan.

However, he seemed to sense that his creative direction had diverged from that of Venerable Lanchuan, meaning that the two had some differences in their paths to enlightenment.

Five years later, Zhao Xing's ten abandoned Soul Well had all been revived, and the Nine Yin River Water they had drawn had increased even more. However, at this time, Zhao Xing had no choice but to return to Moon-Gazing City.

Because the Tribute Feast, which takes place once every twenty years, is about to begin.

This was both an offering to the God Yu and a small test of the Sky Patrol Divine Guard' cultivation. Of course, the person who made the greatest contribution would also be rewarded.

If he could, Zhao Xing wouldn't want to offer tribute, but the tokens of the Sky Patrol Divine Guard possessed the divine power of the Great God Official, and they were issued at the end of the baptism. To dare to hoard or misuse them would be disrespectful to the gods, and he could forget about staying in the Sky Patrol Divine Guard.

"The Nine Yin River is a crucial area for development. Along its thousands of miles, there are at least several thousand Sky Patrol Divine Guard who will be attending the meeting."

"I've only been at the third level for five years, and I've only obtained a total of 180,000 Bone Spirit Crystal. I wonder which table I'll be seated at."

The banquet for bestowing rewards is, of course, tiered, with four levels of venues according to the principles of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. The Great God Official will appear at the banquet to deliver the gifts.

"Little White, is the Fire Pond ready?"

Zhao Xing packed up all the Bone Spirit Crystal and called to Bai Lanjun, Hu Qing, Yan Jun.

As for Fu Mengzhen, to avoid any trouble, Zhao Xing left her here to look after the house.

"My lord, the Fire Pond is ready and leads directly to Moon-Gazing City."

"Okay, let's go back to the city for the banquet."

Moon-Gazing City, Zhao Xing emerged from the Fire Pond in a simple building.

We followed a main road toward the center of Moon-Gazing City.

"Click click click~"

Before long, Yu Ying's chariot also appeared on this road. She looked around and quickly found Zhao Xing's location.

"Chen'an, wait for me." Yu Ying quickly drove the car and caught up with Zhao Xing was walking.

"Fellow Daoist Yu Ying, it's been a long time." Zhao Xing smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Chen'an, twenty years have passed, and you still don't even have a mount." Yu Ying, somewhat puzzled.

"I'm used to it," Zhao Xing said.

"If you don't mind, fellow Daoist, please come and sit in my car," Yu Ying warmly invited.

"Okay." Zhao Xing jumped onto Yu Ying's bicycle frame.

"Fellow Daoist, how much have you gained in these twenty years?" Yu Ying quickly inquired about Zhao Xing's progress.

"Not much, only 180,000 Bone Spirit Crystal were obtained," Zhao Xing said.

"180,000 cubic meters, that is indeed a bit low." Yu Ying nodded slightly. "Among the many subordinates of the God Official Lanchuan, you'd probably be at the bottom—wait, didn't you just say 180,000?"

Yu Ying read out "180,000 cubic meters," but her mind subconsciously thought it meant "18." She only realized it after she finished speaking, and she thought she had misheard.

"Chen'an, you're not joking, are you? You've refined 180,000 formulas in twenty years?"

"Yes, 180,000 cubic meters." Seeing Yu Ying's shocked expression, Zhao Xing couldn't help but wonder, "Is that a lot?"
