Ye Chen had claimed the championship under the gaze of the masses, basking in unparalleled glory.

Zhou Xingyu immediately flicked his sleeve and left, not even sparing a glance at the second-place reward.

Such a dramatic scene became the talk of Shuntian City after meals and over tea.

The fallen Ye Family Son had risen against the odds, crushing the Second Prince of Great Zhou and joining the Tianlan Spirit Talisman Guild. Ye Chen's name instantly spread across the land.

After watching the spectacle, Shen Yun leisurely left Xuanwu Plaza with the ten thousand Spirit Stones he had just received tucked away.

"Big Brother, it's a little hot today. This is the Iced Tea I just bought—try it and see how it tastes."

"The sun's too harsh today. I'll go buy a Parasol. Sister Lin, which style do you like?"

Shen Wude ran errands before and after them, fawning over them to the utmost in hopes that the two would give him a little reward and help him recoup some of his losses.

"You go to One Leaf Pavilion and order first." Shen Yun gave him ten Medium-grade Spirit Stones and casually said, "You can keep whatever is left over."

"Understood! I guarantee I'll arrange a table full of good dishes for you, Big Brother."

Taking the Spirit Stones, Shen Wude hurried toward One Leaf Pavilion without stopping.

By the time Shen Yun reached the entrance to the main hall, the restaurant that had been deserted yesterday was already packed to the brim.

Word that Ye Chen was working at One Leaf Pavilion had spread, immediately drawing a large crowd of guests eager to witness the bearing of the newly crowned Top of Talisman Guild Ranking.

No one dared come make trouble today. Previously, Ye Chen had merely been a fallen wretch whom anyone could step on.

Times had changed. Now that the Tianlan Spirit Talisman Guild was backing him, he had become a red-hot figure, and no one dared offend him.

After the meal, Shen Yun planned to visit the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Method, and Lin Qianluo gladly agreed.

Having gained some benefits, Shen Wude would not dare go west if told to go east. He eagerly trailed after them, transforming into a professional lackey.

"Come to think of it, this is only my second time at Dragon Spring Temple. I wonder whether it has changed."

Lin Qianluo guided them from the side, and they soon reached the western outskirts of the capital, where the outline of distant mountains emerged on the horizon.

Dense woods sprawled around them, green waters flowed endlessly, and Dragon Spring Temple leaned against verdant mountains like a scene embedded in an ink-wash painting.

The vermilion-lacquered gates had faded to ocher, their door rings mottled with bronze rust. Few pedestrians passed by, giving the place a rather desolate air.

Beyond the gates, two locust trees stood facing each other in the courtyard. Their trunks were cracked like dragon scales, while their crowns soared skyward, spreading open like green canopies.

Before the Great Hero Hall stood a massive bronze cauldron. Sandalwood Incense rose in curling clouds, while the chanting of monks echoed through the hall.

After making a full circuit and seeing barely any visitors, Shen Wude clicked his tongue. "After all these years, sure enough, no one is falling for it anymore."

Lin Qianluo shook her head and sighed softly. "I heard they'll soon stop charging admission. Dragon Spring Temple was originally a place for Buddhist cultivation and quiet meditation, yet it has been made infamous."

"Let's first take a look at the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Body."

Shen Yun offered no comment. Rounding the Great Hero Hall, he suddenly saw a mountain cliff Towering into the Clouds.

Upon the gray rock were tens of thousands of enormous characters, dancing like dragons and phoenixes, carved three inches into stone. Though weathered by the years, they had not faded in the slightest.

Seven or eight people stood before the cliff, each scratching at their ears and cheeks with uncertain expressions. One middle-aged man even had blue smoke rising from his head, as though he had burned his brain dry.

"With blood qi this fragile, how can one scour it with Five Elements Spiritual Power? How is that any different from self-mutilation?"

"The imperial bloodline is like a dragon, inheriting the Dao Fruit of the Great Zhou Ancestor and possessing an extremely strong affinity for Five Elements Qi. That is why they can cultivate the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Body."

"Cheap goods truly are no good. Immortal Music House has an event today: recharge fifty Spirit Stones and get fifty free. I'm going to find an arbitrage opportunity."

At that moment, someone noticed the hemp-clad figure ahead and said in surprise, "Isn't that Ye Chen, the Talisman Guild champion? Why is he here too?"

Following the voice, they saw Ye Chen standing with his arms folded across his chest, his handsome face full of concentration. He nodded repeatedly with great seriousness, as though he had truly comprehended something.

My Ye Family Divine Skill can strengthen my bloodline. If I can temper myself in the Dragon Blood Pool, I will certainly be able to cultivate the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique.

Ye Chen was brimming with ambition, determined to obtain a Dragon Blood Pool Slot.

Before Ye Chen's father died, he had passed down to him a Nameless Technique, said to have been handed down by the Ye Family ancestors. No one had been able to cultivate it, yet after Ye Chen witnessed his entire family's tragic deaths, his spiritual world broke and was rebuilt. By a stroke of fate, he had actually comprehended it.

Any treasure related to dragons can strengthen my bloodline. One day, I will forge an invincible talent and restore the Ye Family's glory.

Thinking of that beautiful future, Ye Chen's lips curled upward. After memorizing the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Body, he turned and departed.

Shen Yun glanced at him, then continued reading the technique on the stone wall. His heaven-defying comprehension soon brought him insight.

"Spiritual energy tempers blood qi according to the cycle of mutual generation among the Five Elements, until all five elements gather and generate one another without end. What ingenious thinking."

Shen Yun seemed to grasp something and murmured softly, "Each additional type of spiritual energy places an enormous burden on the body. No wonder only the imperial bloodline can cultivate it."

Over the years, many had cultivated the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Technique, relying on their cultivation to barely withstand the scouring of one or two types of spiritual energy. Yet the third and fourth descended like Mount Tai pressing down upon them, and quite a few had exploded and died.

"What if all five types of spiritual energy were used to temper the body at the same time?"

Shen Yun suddenly saw the light. Now that he possessed all five types of spiritual energy, and with the Five Elements Outer Law, the Five Elements Power was perfectly balanced. Perhaps he could solve this problem.

"I'll first try it with the spiritual power intensity of Qi Refining First Layer."

Having sorted out his thoughts, he began trying it on the spot.

Seeing that he seemed to have gained some insight, Lin Qianluo immediately became alert to prevent anyone else from disturbing him.

Shen Wude stood nearby, bored out of his mind and yawning From time to time. What's so interesting about this piece of junk? Great Zhou dares to put this out because they're certain no one can learn it. If anyone truly succeeds in cultivating it, I'll write my name backward.

The next moment, he suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation—flourishing with life, generating itself without end. It was the qi of the Five Elements in circulation.

"Damn! This actually works?"

Shen Wude gaped wide like a fish thrown onto shore, feeling as though he could barely breathe.

He stared blankly at Shen Yun. Once he confirmed that this was indeed the power of mutual generation among the Five Elements, he hurriedly took back his earlier words.

No wonder he's Big Brother. I'm clinging to this thigh for sure.

Shen Wude secretly swore that he would never again doubt Shen Yun.

Lin Qianluo's cultivation was still too shallow to sense the Five Elements Power. She only felt that Shen Yun had become even more handsome, carrying an otherworldly aura of the immortal path.

After the time it took for one stick of incense to burn, Shen Yun stopped cultivating, a smile appearing on his handsome face.

"This path is feasible. It has some impact on the Physical Body, but it is still within an acceptable range."

The Five Elements Power was exceptionally effective at tempering the Physical Body, but the transformation of blood qi would cause injuries.

Though recovering was not difficult, tempering the Physical Body at full force was definitely not feasible.

"Without relying on external help, reaching Minor Achievement in the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Body will take at least two years."

Having calculated the result, Shen Yun formed an idea in his mind. The Dragon Blood Pool has miraculous effects in repairing the Physical Body. It should speed up cultivation. It seems I still need to make a trip there.

After leaving Dragon Spring Temple, Shen Yun reserved a private room at Linlang Pavilion.

Linlang Pavilion was a renowned high-end restaurant in Shuntian City. Not only was its decor uniquely elegant and rich with poetic charm, but it used only the freshest Spiritual Food, enough to make one's mouth water.

Zhou Ziyou arrived late. He had been receiving foreign guests in the imperial palace all day and had only now found a chance to sneak out.

"I've truly been too busy these past few days. I hope Brother Yun can forgive my poor hospitality."

Zhou Ziyou apologized first, then took out a dazzling Phoenix Hairpin and said ingratiatingly, "I happened to see this Jade Hairpin. Qianluo, take it and try it on."

Shen Wude glanced at it and muttered, "Judging by the craftsmanship, it should be Master Fengli's work. Anything made by that old master costs at least five High-grade Spirit Stones."

Lin Qianluo rolled her eyes at him. "Don't spend so extravagantly Next Time. You've been busy all day, so hurry and sit down."

Zhou Ziyou flashed a toothy smile and eagerly sat beside her. Then everyone picked up their chopsticks.

Friends rejoiced together here, raising cups as laughter rose.

After the meal, Zhou Ziyou sighed. "All the major forces have come to Great Zhou. Entertaining them has kept me busy to death."

To befriend heroes from across the land, Great Zhou held a grand event every year, offering five Dragon Blood Pool Slots as prizes.

"Shangguan Mo of the Shangguan Family, Su Yu'er of the Su Family, Tantai Jing of the Tantai Family—even Murong Xue of the Lone Swan Sword Sect has come."

Zhou Ziyou sighed. "All those who came this time are formidable characters. Luckily, I've already asked Imperial Father for one slot."

Shen Yun cupped his fists and thanked him. "I've troubled you, Brother Zhou."

Zhou Ziyou waved his hand and chuckled. "Why be so polite with me? The grand event is tomorrow. Brother Yun, come to the imperial palace with me."
