First, he had to refine all the Little Divine Crocodiles into Blood-Origin Essence.

In total, he extracted nearly three hundred drops of Blood-Origin Essence.

The remains shed by the Divine Bodhi Tree yielded thirty-one drops of Immortal Divine Liquid.

Of the entire remains, Jiang Yun kept only a branch bearing six Bodhi Leaves.

This small branch still retained a faint vitality and contained the densest divine essence.

He kept it soaked in Divine Spring Fluid, saving it for future use.

It was probably impossible for it to grow again; otherwise, Immortal Elixirs would not be so rare.

Although the Fire Fiend was nearly depleted, now that Jiang Yun had entered the Dao Palace, he could refine and extract the essence of spiritual materials without relying on the Fire Fiend.

Refining Hundred-Grass Liquid was even easier.

Over the next half year or so, Jiang Yun did not leave and focused entirely on cultivation, while Jiang Shuanglan managed the household affairs.

He spent most of his time comprehending Nine Secrets: Zu and various Dao Texts.

The spiritual energy within the Fire Fiend had recovered somewhat, and Jiang Yun refined another three One-Turn Golden Cores.

During this time, Jiang Yun spoke with the ancestor and revealed his cultivation at the Other Shore Realm.

He successfully took over the refining of most of the Hundred-Grass Liquid within the Heavenly Cave.

Under Jiang Shuanglan's management, they had accumulated several hundred jin of Source.

After taking the One-Turn Golden Core, he had already reached the peak of Dao Palace First Heaven, and part of the Golden Core's medicinal power still remained undigested within him.

After half a year, along with the extensive use of Divine Spring Fluid, Jiang Yun had reached Dao Palace Third Heaven.

He had opened the liver and heart Dao Palaces as well, evolving the three great deities: the Black Emperor of the North, the Azure Emperor of the East, and the Vermilion Emperor of the South.

He had gradually opened the divine treasures of the Dao Palace according to the generating cycle of the Five Elements: water gave rise to wood, and wood gave rise to fire.

Now, Jiang Yun could no longer be considered weak within the Dao Palace Secret Realm.

The gains had been plentiful, but the price was steep. The Divine Spring Fluid he had collected from the Desolate Forbidden Land was almost gone.

Although Xia Weier had to devote part of every day to caring for Xiao Nannan, she still broke through to the Divine Bridge Realm.

Only Jiang Shuanglan was still circling around the Life Spring Realm.

She was clearly the most diligent one, but physique and bloodline had far too great an influence on a person.

Especially in the Sea of Reincarnation and Dao Palace, the two initial secret realms most dependent on resources and physique.

That day, the ancestor had Grandma Feng bring over a token.

Jiang Yun hurriedly invited Grandma Feng into his room.

"I never expected that in less than a year and a half, I would already be unable to see through you. If you told me you had entered the Dao Palace now, I would believe you."

After entering the room, Grandma Feng looked at Jiang Yun with a complicated expression as she spoke.

"No matter what realm I reach in the future, you will always be my Grandma Feng. You were the one who led me through the gates of cultivation."

Jiang Yun felt somewhat awkward. He could not exactly say that he had already reached Dao Palace Third Heaven.

"As long as you remember Grandma Feng, I'm happy. Lan'er truly married a fine Dao companion!"

Grandma Feng sighed with emotion. She had still underestimated Jiang Yun.

She also felt rather proud. Back then, she had truly recognized a gem with her discerning eye. After saying that, she took out another token and handed it to Jiang Yun.

"This is a token the ancestor had the clan bring over. It represents the Jiang Family's Domain Gate Teleportation Token. With it, you can use the Domain Gate of the nearby Qingwei Sect."

"Thank you, Grandma Feng and Ancestor, for your guidance. Without you, there would be no Jiang Yun today. I will never forget it."

Jiang Yun spoke to Grandma Feng with a face full of gratitude.

Grandma Feng waved her hand.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she said to Jiang Yun,

"If you want to leave Yan Kingdom, leave as soon as possible. The Jiang Family Ancestral Lineage will be sending people soon, and they are very interested in people like you who walked out of the Desolate Forbidden Land."

Jiang Yun's body and mind tensed upon hearing this.

"Thank you for the warning, Grandma Feng. I'll go make preparations first."

With that, Jiang Yun hurriedly left the room, while Grandma Feng pulled Jiang Shuanglan aside to chat.

Jiang Yun had not left Yan Kingdom before, aside from wanting to perfect his Divine Physique and comprehend the scriptures and Nine Secrets.

The main reason was that the Northern Region was simply too far away. Without passing through a Domain Gate, it would be difficult to reach.

Moreover, Domain Gates were generally controlled by aristocratic clans and great families. It was not as simple as paying some Source to borrow one.

But now that he had the Jiang Family's token, that was no longer a problem.

Jiang Yun understood what would happen next. It would most likely involve people from the Jiang Family, Ji Family, and Shaking Light Sacred Land.

They wanted to join forces and gather sacred medicine from the Desolate Forbidden Land. Gathering sacred medicine was one reason, but they were probably also testing the waters.

Those who had walked out of the Desolate Forbidden Land would be the vanguard scouts.

Even though Jiang Yun possessed Emperor Hengyu's bloodline and could be considered part of the Jiang Family, his safety was not guaranteed.

He simply had not expected that what was supposed to happen two years later was already being prepared for by these sacred lands and great families.

He had to prepare to leave Yan Kingdom early. He had originally planned to leave only after his Divine Physique had been fully nurtured.

Now, it seemed he could not wait any longer.

Over the past half year or so, after Jiang Yun's Divine Physique reached 50%,

even though each additional point of Source required two marks, he had still made tremendous progress.

[Panel] Realm: Dao Palace cultivator Physique: Divine Physique 71.20% (Sacred Physique 1.93%) Bloodline: Hengyu Bloodline (1%) Taihuang Bloodline (1%) Cultivation Techniques: "Dao Scripture", "Solar Scripture", "Taihuang Scripture", "Nine Secrets: Zhe", "Xing", "Nine Secrets: Zu" Reflection Points: 1 (Taihuang) Source Space: 500*500*500 Dao Companions: Jiang Shuanglan (Hengyu Bloodline 3.25%, Divine Physique 15.01%) Favorability 95 Xia Weier (Taihuang Bloodline 67.72%) Favorability 95 Marks: 0 Descendant Bonus: None

Xia Weier had a simple nature, so her favorability had risen quickly and was already equal to Jiang Shuanglan's.

To Jiang Yun, a Dao companion's favorability was not merely a cold number on the panel.

A Dao companion was someone who would walk hand in hand with him in the future, exploring the Great Dao together. Therefore, Jiang Yun would not pay excessive attention to raising favorability.

He mainly used favorability to reflect changes in his Dao companions' emotions.

Perhaps he was not a faithful good man, but he would definitely not neglect any of his Dao companions.

Returning to the alchemy room, Jiang Yun stored everything he would need in the Source Space.

Through his research into Nine Secrets: Zu and formation patterns, he had also refined three hundred and sixty great banners to seal space and obstruct enemies.

Because the materials were not particularly good, he could only rely on quantity to make up for it.

The two Buddhist forbidden artifacts he had found on Mars had been kept in the Sea of Bitterness, where they were continuously nurtured.

If he encountered a formidable enemy he could not resist in the future, they would be his trump cards for preserving his life.

He had accumulated several hundred jin of Source, along with a large batch of Hundred-Grass Liquid.

He would take the Source with him, while all the Hundred-Grass Liquid would be left for Jiang Shuanglan to handle. The three of them basically no longer needed those things.

That night, Jiang Yun called Jiang Shuanglan and Xia Weier into the alchemy room.

Jiang Shuanglan and Xia Weier sat prettily beside the table.

One had skin like white snow, a willow-slender waist, teeth like pearly shells, and an enchanting charm between her brows.

The other was slightly thinner, yet all the more lovable. Like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each possessed her own unique beauty.

They added much color to Jiang Yun's alchemy room and brought a faint fragrance into the chamber.

Looking at his two exquisitely beautiful Dao companions, Jiang Yun felt a little emotional. He had never even dared dream of something like this before.

Thank the Big Dipper, thank the panel, thank Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin.
