Golden Feather Dew!

Yu Lan'er and the others listened quietly, without uttering a sound.

Zhang Xuanchen continued:

"We cannot choose whether the game begins, but we can choose what move we make after placing our pieces."

"Holding grudges over the past cannot eradicate the Demon Seed; arguing about right and wrong cannot protect the common people."

Since no one can remain uninvolved, let each of us hold our own position, move forward, and do our utmost to reach the end!

The moment the words left his mouth.

Yu Cang raised his hand and clapped.

Clap clap clap!

"Well said!"

An appreciative look appeared in his eyes. "Now, the world is like a chessboard, and all living beings are pieces."

"Once caught in this calamity, one has no choice but to take up one's sword and move forward, only then can one fight for a chance of survival."

My Feather Clan is striving to survive, and so are you.

However, you are more free than us.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, it's too heavy. Let's change the subject," Yu Cang said, turning his gaze to Zhang Xuanchen.

"Fellow Daoist Zhang, the pastries you brought out earlier had a very unique flavor. I wonder if you would be willing to sell the recipes for those pastries to my Feather Clan?"

"My Feather Clan is willing to exchange it for heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

Zhang Xuanchen nodded; he also wanted to exchange some heavenly materials and earthly treasures with the Feather Clan.

The Feather Clan holds a prominent position in the Ancient Forest, and their clan must possess many unique spiritual creatures.

"Sure."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved it, and several Jade Slip and several jade boxes appeared in front of him.

"These are the recipes for Peach Crisp, Crystal Cake, and Cream Cake."

"In addition, there are some external elixirs, Cultivation Method Law Technique, as well as Spirit Herb Seeds."

"If the Feather Clan possesses unique heavenly materials and earthly treasures, secret techniques, or spiritual objects, they may offer them in exchange."

Yu Cang glanced at the items below and said:

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Zhang, my Feather Clan will never let you suffer any loss."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Lan'er.

The latter immediately understood, took out a silver storage ring from his sleeve, retrieved three items, and explained:

There are three kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures here.

It was the Great Shaman who foresaw your arrival and made preparations in advance, after all, my Feather Clan also needs some rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures for cultivation.

They also exchanged some ancient books to gain a better understanding of the Xuanqiong Realm.

The first type is Golden Feather Dew, produced by the Golden Feather Divine Tree above the Holy Temple, which only condenses into a single drop every thousand years.

This item can temper the physical body, repair damage to the soul, and even help cultivators break through to higher realms.

There is a 50% chance that it will allow Spirit Transformation cultivator to directly break through a minor realm.

"The second type is Cloud-Pattern Feather Iron, the main material used by the Feather Clan to forge Law Treasure and spatial Law Treasure. Its toughness far surpasses that of ordinary Fourth Stage Spiritual Materials."

"The third type is the Soul-Cleansing Feather, which can Spirit Transformation. It has miraculous effects if one cultivates illusion techniques, soul-secret arts, or is suffering from demonic corruption. In addition, wearing it for a long time can slightly improve a cultivator's comprehension."

Zhang Xuanchen looked at the items in front of him, a satisfied expression on his face.

But not all of them were believed.

He secretly asked Xuanjing, "Xuanjing, is what she said true?"

After sensing it for a moment, Xuanjing replied, "It's true."

These heavenly materials and earthly treasures are indeed as effective as she said, especially the Golden Feather Dew, which can save you decades of arduous Spirit Transformation Realm.

"I must get it back."

"OK."

After Yu Lan'er finished speaking, Yu Cang took out a black and gold Jade Slip from his sleeve and said:

"This is my Feather Clan's Sixth-tier Peak Grade secret technique— the Grand Void Feather Escape Technique!"

"After cultivation, one can use the power of wind, clouds, and space to travel by teleportation."

Upon reaching mastery, one can unleash speed comparable to the Early Stage of the Void Refinement Spirit Transformation Realm. Combined with Movement Method, this yields even more remarkable effects.

"I'd like to exchange this technique for a low-grade seventh-rank Body Refining Cultivation Method. Is that feasible?"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Zhang Xuanchen's eyes.

This secret technique was of extraordinary value to him.

He has now mastered the Soaring Dragon Treading the Heavens Step, and if he can verify the two techniques together, he might be able to advance his Escape Technique to a higher level!

"Of course."

After replying, Zhang Xuanchen took out a seventh-grade low-level Heavenly Gang Body Refinement Art Cultivation Method from the Myriad Spirit Ring and handed it to Yu Cang.

Next, it was time for Zhang Xuanchen and the others to exchange places with Yu Cang and Yu Lan'er.

In addition to the Sixth-tier Peak Grade secret technique, Zhang Xuanchen also obtained a piece of Seventh-tier Upper Grade Wind-Supporting Divine Wood from Yu Cang.

This wood can support spatial arrays, and more importantly, the primordial power it contains is extremely suitable for my daughter Zhang Deling.

The Great Sage and Little Flame had nothing to exchange, since they both possessed inherited knowledge and naturally looked down on the Feather Clan's possessions.

The Azure Lion and the Hu Nuannuan each exchanged two different spirit creatures.

Night fell.

The Feather Clan's reception hall was brightly lit and bustling with people.

The banquet prepared specifically for Zhang Xuanchen and the others officially began.

Dozens of long jade tables were set up in the hall, displaying various Spirit Fruit and Spirit Wine brewed by the Feather Clan.

The Third-grade Top-tier Azure Cloud Fruit and the Third-grade Top-tier White Feather Spirit Rice, which grows above the Cloud Sea, both have an excellent taste.

In particular, the Golden Plume Brew has a refreshing taste, as if a gentle breeze is hidden in the liquid. After drinking it, the speed of spiritual energy circulation in the body will increase.

Little Flame picked up his wine cup, downed it in one gulp, and his eyes immediately lit up. "This wine is excellent, no less delicious than the Monkey Wine brewed by the Great Sage!"

The Great Sage looked puzzled. "Is that really so?"

"Let me have a taste."

"Be careful not to get drunk and cause trouble," Little Peach warned from the side.

The Great Sage replied nonchalantly, "This Great Sage can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk; he is known as the God of Wine!"

Does Dionysus understand...?

The Azure Lion and the Hu Nuannuan savored the Feather Clan's Spirit Fruit, occasionally discussing cultivation insights with a few Feather Clan Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Yu Lan'er, along with some other Feather Clan women, earnestly inquired with Zhang Xuanchen about how to mix the Spirit Milk, Spirit Bee Honey, and Spirit Wheat Flour in the recipe.

How to do it?

Zhang Xuanchen explained everything step by step. When the explanations failed, he used his spiritual power to condense the production process for the other person to observe.

"The key to making pastries lies not only in the ingredients, but also in the control of heat and the fusion of spiritual energy."

"The Spirit Fire is too strong; the pastries will easily burn."

The Spirit Fire is too weak to fully fuse the Spiritual Qi within the materials.

"Furthermore, different spiritual materials have varying capacities, so they must be added in stages..."

The banquet lasted until late at night.

During this time, Zhang Xuanchen also gained some understanding of the Ancient Forest and the Cloudmist Continent.

The Ancient Forest has one Void Refinement faction: the Light Spirit Clan.

The three Spirit Transformation cultivator factions are the Heavenly Roc Clan, the Ancient Black Tortoise Clan, and the Feather Clan.

In addition, there are several Alliance composed of High Antiquity remnants.

These forces also seal away the Demon Seed. They occasionally fight among themselves, but they all know that the Demon Calamity is their common enemy. Therefore, a large-scale war has never occurred.

As for the Cloudmist Continent, the situation is even more complicated!

It was ruled by one dynasty and Five Ancient Cities.

Cloudmist Continent's delayed response to the outside world was not because he was completely detached, but because the seal on one of the ancient cities had malfunctioned, and even the peak Void Refinement cultivator from the Great Yan Dynasty had been mobilized.

After the banquet.

Zhang Xuanchen was led by a Feather Clan cultivator to a house that was floating in the air.

He didn't go inside, but stood by the window, gazing at the distant Cloud Sea of clouds and night sky, and sighed:

"Xuanjing, Shuoxing, this Demon Calamity is far more dangerous than we imagined."

We must become stronger.

Spirit Transformation stage strength... is far from enough!
