Seeing this, Ye Yun hurriedly restrained his soul power and withdrew the Breakthrough Domain.

The instant the domain dispersed, the special suppressive force shrouding Gu Rong's wound faded away, and the blood that had been gushing nonstop from the hole began to slow.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Avatar! Seven treasures have names—the third is Soul! The sixth is Amplification!"

Ning Fengzhi tapped his cane lightly against the ground, and the towering, crystalline phantom of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda rose behind him. Two warm, radiant beams of glazed light fell through the air and poured into Gu Rong's body.

Gu Rong's amplified soul power circulated through his limbs and bones, barely suppressing the chaotic, surging blood and qi inside him. Though his face was still deathly pale and weak, the wound had finally stabilized completely and no longer worsened.

"Fengzhi, I'll take Old Bones to get treated first."

As soon as Chen Xin finished speaking, he did not wait for Ning Fengzhi to answer. He carefully supported Gu Rong and laid him on the broad blade of his sword, then the long sword shot into the air, carrying the two of them swiftly into the distance.

Ning Fengzhi watched their departing figures, then turned to Ye Yun beside him with a bitter smile.

"Young friend Ye Yun, you really did give us a tremendous surprise."

Ye Yun scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. He really had not done it on purpose.

"Uh... Sorry, I really didn't know it would be that powerful... How about I make some special medicine for Senior Bone?"

"You know medicine too?"

Ning Fengzhi was very tempted. It would naturally be best if Uncle Bone could recover as quickly as possible, but judging from his injuries just now, even after he was healed, he would still need to recuperate for some time.

"Mm. I know a little bit of everything."

Ye Yun nodded. [Erudition] was not limited to researching physics and technology; it also included biotechnology, medicine, and so on.

Although he could not create life from nothing like Ruan Mei, making some medicine that rapidly healed wounds was still within his abilities.

After receiving his definite answer, Ning Fengzhi no longer hesitated and brought Ye Yun to the sect treasury to select medicinal ingredients.

When they arrived at the treasury...

On the shelves, jade boxes were filled with heavenly treasures, rare soul bones, and wondrous forging materials, all sorted by category. The dazzling array of rare spiritual herbs and ores was arranged neatly.

Ye Yun swept his gaze over them, and his heart could not help but burn with excitement. Everywhere he looked, there was not a single item that was not a rare, high-grade refining material.

With a thought, Origin-End Deduction quietly activated. A faint glow flashed in Ye Yun's eyes, and the detailed attributes, ages, medicinal effects, and configuration information of every treasure in the treasury all surfaced before him.

"High-grade Blood Spirit Fruit: Has the effect of improving blood and qi, and nurturing the body and mind. When decocted into a medicinal liquid with Purple Ganoderma Grass, Coptis Essence... and twenty other medicinal ingredients, it can stabilize the foundation and repair hidden injuries."

His gaze continued to wander, and entries from another shelf surfaced one after another.

"Mystic Pattern Cold Iron: A top-grade primary forging material. When combined with Red Crystal, Deep Sea Sunken Silver... and six other ores, it can produce an extremely hard material that can withstand extremely high temperatures after forming."

"Soul-Condensing Flower Nectar: Brewed by century-old spiritual bees. Slowly nourishes the body and slightly improves the condensation level of soul power..."

"Young friend Ye Yun, you may choose any treasure in the treasury. If anything is lacking, I'll immediately send people out to purchase it. If there's anything you take a liking to, you may take it all as well."

Ning Fengzhi's expression was calm, without the slightest hint of pain. This treasury was merely a display on the surface; the sect's truly top-grade heavenly treasures were all stored inside the soul tool he carried on his person.

Hearing this, Ye Yun stopped being polite. He strolled slowly through the dazzling storeroom, relying on Origin-End Deduction to screen for suitable items, then stored all the selected healing spiritual medicines and rare ores into his own storage ring.

A moment later, Ye Yun stopped. "Uncle Ning, the materials are all ready. I can start making the medicine at any time."

Ning Fengzhi nodded. Then the two of them left the treasury, and the heavy stone door slowly closed behind them.

When they returned to Ye Yun's room, only then did Ning Fengzhi discover that a strange little room had appeared inside.

"Young friend Ye Yun, this is?"

"Nothing much. Just a little portable house my master left me. Not worth mentioning."

Ye Yun casually brushed it off. Before Ning Fengzhi could ask any further questions, he stepped directly into the Mobile Multi-functional Laboratory under the man's utterly astonished gaze.

After entering the laboratory, Ye Yun immediately gathered his focus and entered the state of refining medicine.

He took out all kinds of rare medicinal herbs and methodically placed them one by one into the refining furnace nearby. The extracted medicinal essence dripped through transparent tubes into test tubes.

Ye Yun compared everything against the formulas in his mind. Strictly following the combination order and precise ratios of each medicinal property, he carefully mixed the various medicinal liquids one by one, while also using instruments to assist catalysis, allowing the different medicinal properties to blend perfectly.

After the initial fusion and catalysis of the medicine was complete, only the final steps remained: letting it stand, settle, and allowing the medicinal properties to fully merge.

Taking advantage of this free time, Ye Yun directly took out the various ores he had selected from the treasury and began processing and smelting them.

He knew very clearly what his next plan was.

If he wanted to build a true Orbital Kinetic Bombardment Cannon, the first step was to successfully create a space satellite.

Only by sending a satellite into high altitude to serve as an all-seeing eye could he precisely lock onto the global coordinates of Douluo Continent, allowing the later orbital cannon's aiming and bombardment to strike its targets accurately.

The system reward was not an ordinary satellite blueprint, but an automatic launch satellite of the same model as Himeko's from the Honkai world.

The greatest advantage of this blueprint was that it eliminated the complicated step of building a rocket, but every advantage came with a drawback.

Its special automatic launch structure had material requirements so harsh they reached the extreme, and the materials needed were even more complex.

The environment of outer space was harsh, which meant the alloy used to build the satellite had to possess extremely strong cold resistance and heat resistance at the same time, while also withstanding the constant erosion of cosmic radiation and the high-speed impact of space debris.

The materials he had now were nowhere near enough. He could only make some suitable components first, and the rest would have to wait for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to slowly gather.

Meanwhile, in the crown prince's residence of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Xue Qinghe sat upright behind his desk, fingertips lightly tapping the tabletop as he quietly listened to Snake Spear Douluo's report from beside him.

"Young Master, this subordinate has gathered news that Ning Fengzhi went out with Sword Douluo and brought three children back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Three children?"

Xue Qinghe's brow furrowed slightly, a trace of thought flashing through his eyes. If they were geniuses, the deacons in charge of awakening martial souls at Spirit Hall should have reported them long ago. They would never have slipped silently into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

If they were not geniuses, then that cheap teacher of his would never have gone to such lengths to personally bring those three children back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. That did not align with his merchant's sense of profit.

Snake Spear Douluo shook his head lightly. "This subordinate came to report as soon as I received the tip. To uncover the origins of the three, we will still need to wait a few days."

Xue Qinghe slowly rose and paced to the window, his gaze turning toward the direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Ning Fengzhi has always had a sharp eye. Anyone he personally brings back to the sect would never be an ordinary disciple. Pass down the order: keep a close watch on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's movements, and focus on investigating the three children's martial souls and backgrounds."

"This subordinate obeys." Snake Spear bowed to accept the order, then slowly withdrew.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Xue Qinghe gently rubbed his fingertips together, sinking into silent thought.

It seems I'll have to find a suitable time to personally visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If those three truly are exceptionally gifted geniuses, then no matter the cost, I must firmly grasp them in my own hands and make them serve me.
