Chapter 2123: Chapter 16: Earth Refining Technique, Heaven Repairing Technique, and the Astonished Yu Ying

Venerable Lan Chuan instructed Zhao Xing to rest for three years, but Zhao Xing arrived early at Venerable Lan Chuan’s cave dwelling—a mountain peak resembling an eagle’s head—after just three months.

"Didn’t I tell you to rest for three years to consolidate your magic body?" Venerable Lan Chuan asked.

"I have already completed it," Zhao Xing replied.

"In that case, choose a duty," Venerable Lan Chuan said, tossing a Taoist book to Zhao Xing. The book contained various duties.

Yu Shen Country has only been established for decades and continues to expand. It has a considerable population but lacks high-end talents.

Zhao Xing glanced at the book and found that although there seemed to be many positions, the lucrative options were only two places.

One is the Nine Yin River.

Yu Shen Country’s border is still some distance from the Nine Yin River. Yu God wants to divert some of the Nine Yin River’s water into the country, but the river is very special—its water is extremely heavy and toxic, making diversion quite challenging.

Most sections of it are difficult to divert. The sections easy to divert also face competition with Moon God Continent.

However, Yu Shen Country cannot expand without the Nine Yin River, as soul wells require the nourishment of yin attribute water sources with the highest possible quality. Additionally, it produces high-end resources such as bone spirit stones.

The other is the Ten Thousand Soul Well.

The Ten Thousand Soul Well is outside Yu Shen Country, within a mist barrier larger than Yu Shen Country and Moon God Continent.

Elsewhere, soul wells are very scattered and of low quality, but within the Ten Thousand Soul Well area, they are dense and equally dangerous.

It is rich in soul crystals, but Heaven Patrol Divine Guard requires the guidance of Earth God Official to go there.

"Lan Chuan Priest, I want to cultivate a river along the Nine Yin River or go to the Ten Thousand Soul Well," Zhao Xing expressed his aspirations.

Venerable Lan Chuan was not surprised; he saw that Zhao Xing had reached a bottleneck in his spell realm, making it difficult to advance any further in his current magic body realm.

The breakthrough of true spirit and magic body to become a demigod is the greatest need of the present.

"I have no plans to go to the Ten Thousand Soul Well at the moment. Besides, you haven’t made any achievements, so it’s not appropriate to take you there. First, head to Moon City and cultivate the Nine Yin River," Lan Chuan Priest said.

"This is the Earth Refining Technique."

"Completing one water diversion task allows you to come back to find me."

"Yu Ying has also been sent here; you can set out together."

"Yes."

...

"Fellow Daoist Chen An, you actually have disciples from the Divine Fire Sect serving you?" Yu Ying and Zhao Xing simultaneously teleport to Moon City, noticing Zhao Xing’s followers are of no ordinary nature; they possess Li Huo Dao Bone and the unique mark of the Divine Fire Sect.

"Fellow Daoist Yu Ying is not ordinary, having the Dragon Clan serve you," Zhao Xing remarked, surprised as he looked at Yu Ying seated in a chariot pulled by four bone dragons, all of considerable rank.

"These four dragons were the Eight Tribulation Emperors in the Yang Realm and voluntarily followed me to the Bone Yin Realm," Yu Ying boasted proudly.

Dragons are rarely seen in the present era, and Yu Ying spent many years cultivating them in the Yang Realm.

"Which sect do you belong to in the Yang Realm, Fellow Daoist Yu Ying?" Zhao Xing inquired, eager to learn about the Xuanhuang Realm’s Yang side.

"Earth Sea Divine Sect," Yu Ying answered with a hint of pride, but noticing Zhao Xing wasn’t greatly affected by this, she grew curious about Zhao Xing’s sect.

"And you, Fellow Daoist Chen An?"

"I am a loose cultivator," Zhao Xing casually murmured.

After residing in the White Bone Divine Domain for many years, he was sure he had entered a different time period.

Perhaps it was a past era of the Xuanhuang Realm, during a time when Chenluo Wasteland hadn’t transformed into the Desolate Domain, possibly within one of the Five Emperors’ eras.

Yet, Zhao Xing was puzzled since the Yang Realm in the Xuanhuang Realm had no mention of the Five Emperors.

If his speculation was correct, could the Xuanhuang Realm exist without any external communication?

Whose domain was the historic Chenluo Wasteland, Bone God Yuan?

"With so many powerful figures, there is no way in history that the Xuanhuang Realm remains unnamed, could it have been erased?" Zhao Xing speculated in his mind.

......

Upon arriving at Moon City, Zhao Xing and Yu Ying immediately paid a visit to another Earth God Official, ’Jin Yue.’

Looking down from the sky, Moon City appeared quite simple, but there were many skeletons transporting materials like ants.

The entire city, both inside and out, was desolate, except for the east side where a vibrant area with intense spiritual plant growth flourished, while the other areas were filled with heavy yin energy.

Jin Yue is a thirteenth-level demigod, a direct subordinate of the Great Divine Official East Lord.

He doesn’t manage specific affairs and usually focuses on secluded cultivation unless a strong enemy attacks Moon City.

Upon meeting Zhao Xing and Yu Ying, he only exchanged a few simple words.

"Within Moon City, aside from those who are also Heaven Patrol Divine Guards, all white bone lives can be freely deployed as labor; it doesn’t matter if they die."

"I don’t care how you divert the river, but seventy percent of any gains must be handed over."

"Of course, if you succeed in creating a treasure pool, you’ll receive more rewards, but no one has managed this over the years."

"Do not bother me if there’s nothing important."

After uttering these words, Venerable Jin Yue let Zhao Xing and Yu Ying leave.

"All white bone beings can be used as labor, and it doesn’t matter if they die?" Zhao Xing flew above, observing the rows of dumb-looking skulls within the city.

Their true spirit fire may be pure but appears dull.

"Of course, they’re not truly dead," Yu Ying remarked nonchalantly. "There are about one hundred thousand skull soldiers and a hundred soul wells in the city."

"If they die, they’ll climb out from the soul wells, for us to use freely."
