"Why are you upset? This might just be your lucky break! The Five Elements Creation Tree is a type of Ancient Spiritual Wood, possessing extremely pure Spiritual Powers of the Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth elements. Even obtaining a section of it could greatly boost one's Cultivation progress. It is said that in ancient times, a Qi Refining Stage cultivator accidentally came across a dying Five Elements Creation Tree, and he chopped off its branches to brew and drink, finishing the whole plant. His Cultivation level, as a result, soared directly to the Nascent Soul Stage," Xi Ying remarked with a glance at Yuan Ming.

"Is there really such a miraculous Spiritual Object that can steal the creation of heaven and earth?" Yuan Ming couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

"Whether this is true or fabricated by someone, I can't say for sure, as rumors always tend to be somewhat exaggerated. However, this does illustrate the wondrous nature of the Five Elements Creation Tree, which, after all, money can't buy in the outside world," Xi Ying explained.

"So, this Five Elements Creation Tree should help in forming a Nascent Soul, right?" Yuan Ming thought to himself and asked.

"You do have a knack for catching the crucial points. Indeed, the resin secreted by the Five Elements Creation Tree aids the transformation of the Golden Core. The wondrous elixir, Five Elements Infant Condensing Pill, is primarily made from this resin and can increase the chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul by thirty to forty percent," Xi Ying said nonchalantly.

"Do you have the recipe for this pill?" Yuan Ming asked incredulously, his surprise mingled with disbelief.

"This recipe is a secret passage of the Wuyue Sect, said to be provided by none other than the Wu Yue God herself. A Five Elements Creation Tree grows within the forbidden grounds of the Wuyue Sect, which is also why there are constantly Nascent Soul cultivators emerging from the sect. By chance, my ancestor also got ahold of this recipe," Xi Ying revealed.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming no longer harbored any doubts, his eyes filled with excitement.

Everything at the Shura Palace had come to an end, and unexpectedly, there was this final gain.

"The Five Elements Creation Tree requires a substantial supply of spirit grass's spiritual energy to survive; thus, it has consumed all thousand-year-old spiritual grasses within this Medicine Garden. No more sorrows now, right?" Xi Ying pointed out the reason for the disappearance of the thousand-year-old spiritual grasses.

"If it means consuming this entire Medicine Garden, I would not mind. Now that we have the primary material and the recipe, what about the other auxiliary materials?" Yuan Ming joked lightly, since he didn't own the Medicine Garden and it really wasn't his place to feel regret.

"You don't need to worry about that; I'm confident in gathering them. With this pill, our chances of forming a Nascent Soul will greatly increase," Xi Ying responded.

"Us? Didn't Ni Mu and the others say that your original body had long since broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage and is even considered the most outstanding prodigy of the Xi Family for a thousand years? Do you intend to allow this clone to also form a Nascent Soul?" Yuan Ming asked in surprise.

"Ni Mu doesn't understand the Xi Family. It wasn't me who spent over a hundred years forming a Nascent Soul; it was my sister. Due to a particular reason, my sister's existence must remain hidden, hence the proclamation that I was the one who formed the Nascent Soul. Please keep this matter confidential," Xi Ying clarified.

"Of course. But how old are you really?" Yuan Ming asked curiously.

"About your age," Xi Ying replied.

Yuan Ming, who was not much more than forty years old, was considered middle-aged by mortal standards. However, for a Core Formation Stage cultivator, forty was exceedingly young.

Ordinary Core Formation cultivators who could form a core at two hundred were rare, and a forty-year-old Core Formation cultivator would undoubtedly cause many to drop their jaws in awe.

Yuan Ming wasn't concerned about this, but another aspect of Xi Ying greatly intrigued him.

"It's one thing to talk about magic practitioners, but Xi Ying, using only forty years, not only did you significantly advance your main body's Soul Cultivation, but you also cultivated this clone to the Sleep Witch Realm, which is truly impressive. I am nowhere close to you," Yuan Ming sighed.

Having benefited from the Desire Power of the Stealing Heaven Tripod, his Soul Cultivation had only reached the Love Witch Realm, thus his admiration for Xi Ying was sincere and profound.

"This matter is a long story, tied to some of the Xi Family's secrets, which ordinarily shouldn't be revealed to outsiders, but sharing it with you is harmless," Xi Ying said after a brief hesitation.

Yuan Ming's expression shifted, indicating he had more to say but hesitated.

"Although our Xi Family is a branch of the Wuyue Sect, we also have our own fortune. The Wuyue Sect, desperate to have us rejoin, is partly due to this. Our family has a secret technique allowing a dying Soul Cultivator to pass on their Soul Power to their descendants. My ability to reach the Sleep Witch Realm at such a young age is due to this, and when it comes to innate talent in Soul Cultivation, I may not even match up to you," Xi Ying revealed.

"There is such a secret technique?" Yuan Ming widened his eyes slightly.

"There are millions of secret techniques in the world, what we know is merely a drop in the ocean," Xi Ying stated.

"I was ignorant," Yuan Ming nodded.

"With the affairs of Shura Palace finally settling, I plan to return to my family soon to prepare for refining the Five Elements Infant Condensing Pill. Moreover, with the Six Desires Venerable's fall, the Wuyue Sect is bound to be shaken, and the Xi Family must prepare early," Xi Ying said, looking into the distance with a deep gaze.

"Then take care in your endeavors and contact me immediately if you encounter any difficulties," Yuan Ming said.

"Once family matters are settled, I will make a trip to the East Sea. An important spiritual material required to refine the Five Elements Infant Condensing Pill can only be found there," Xi Ying mentioned relaxedly.

Yuan Ming chuckled inwardly, realizing Xi Ying was indirectly inviting him to join her to the East Sea, yet she was too proud to ask outright.

"I will also be heading back to Da Jin to bring my parents out from under Chang Chun Temple's watchful eyes and settle them in a safe place. After that, I too will visit the East Sea to lend you a hand," Yuan Ming spoke up.

"With your help, things might indeed go more smoothly; let's plan to meet in the Dragon King City in the East Sea a year from now," Xi Ying said with a slight smile, which she quickly concealed.

"Dragon King City?" Yuan Ming had never been to the East Sea and hadn't heard the name Dragon King City before.

"Dragon King City is a renowned city in the East Sea, and you will know as soon as you ask about it in the East Sea," Xi Ying said.

"Okay," Yuan Ming nodded.

The two then discussed some details about their meeting, and Xi Ying asked Yuan Ming to escort her out of the Shura Palace.

When Xi Ying left, she took Yan Sijing with her, saying that she wanted to rescue Yan Siyun and use Yan Siyun's ability to foresee fortunes and disasters to accomplish some tasks.

In the blink of an eye, only Yuan Ming was left in the entire Shura Palace.

He was silent for a moment, closed his eyes to control his breathing and cultivate, restoring his mana and divine soul, then continued to manipulate the Shura Stone Tablet to move the location of the Shura Palace.

Three days and nights later, Yuan Ming moved the Shura Palace to a remote boulder field far from the Soul Burying Abyss and concealed it underground, which finally gave him peace of mind.

Yuan Ming sat down near the Black Tower, waved his sleeve, and dozens of storage magic tools appeared around him, all belonging to the cultivators who had entered the Shura Palace.

Now controlling the entire Shura Palace, regardless of where those cultivators died, their storage magic tools couldn't escape his eyes.

Yuan Ming first checked the storage magic tools belonging to the Core Formation Stage cultivators, most of whom had entered the palace with Ni Mu and the others.

These people generally came from humble backgrounds. The items in their storage magic tools were not very valuable, mostly consisting of common magic treasures, elixirs, and spirit stones.

Somewhat valuable were the items belonging to Core Formation Stage cultivators who had entered with Dugu Feng, Thunderbolt Ancestor, and others.

A moment later, Yuan Ming completed the inspection of all the Core Formation Stage cultivators' storage magic tools, ultimately obtaining nearly a million spirit stones, thirty to forty magic treasures, a large number of elixirs, spiritual materials, and other items.

Yuan Ming waved his hand to store these items, leaving only three jade scrolls in red, white, and blue, a set of blue inner armor, and a silvery-gray strange weapon, about a zhang long, resembling a three-pointed two-bladed saber.

The three jade scrolls came respectively from Hai Dafu, a blond youth who accompanied Su Zimo, and a Core Formation Stage loose cultivator.

The red jade scroll contained the complete mnemonic of the Transplanting Technique, many years of research on secret techniques by Elder Hai, and a detailed process of refining demon cores by cultivators from the Guiyuan Sect, quite valuable.

With this jade scroll, Yuan Ming could refine demon core cultivators immediately as long as he gathered the demon cores and cultivators.

The white jade scroll contained the identity and origin of the blond youth, as well as a Body Cultivation Method.

The blond youth came from a Body Cultivation Sect in the Western Region called Vajra Sect, and it was unknown how he mingled with Su Zimo.

Having spent many years in the Black Wind Desert, Yuan Ming had some understanding of the Western Region. Like the Northern Desert, it was quite isolated, rarely interacting with the outside world. The cultivation world there was very different from the Central Plains, mainly focused on Body Cultivation.

Due to the climate, residents there differed greatly from those in the Central Plains and were called Rong people, generally tall and robust with strong bones and muscles, naturally suited for the path of Body Cultivation.

The Vajra Sect was a leading Body Cultivation Sect in the Western Region with strength not inferior to the Five Thunder Sect or the Guiyuan Sect.

The technique recorded in the jade scroll was named "Vigorous Vajra Skill," known for its power, capable of moving mountains and seas when cultivated to the extreme.

Although Yuan Ming already possessed the Demon Image Prison Suppression Skill, understanding several more Body Cultivation Methods was always beneficial.

As for the last blue jade scroll, it contained several methods for making high-grade spirit incense, all for use against enemies and poisonous incense.

What caught Yuan Ming's attention most was a spirit incense called "Common Poppy," colorless and odorless. Those affected by this incense would feel their heart fire rise and desires escalate, eventually turning into monsters that only knew intercourse, which even Core Formation Stage cultivators could hardly resist.

As Yuan Ming's cultivation surged, the Incense Making Secret Manual he had obtained from Immortal Xuanhua was gradually becoming inadequate, and the Stealing Heaven Tripod's ability to enhance the efficacy of spirit incense was almost wasted. Unexpectedly, he found several high-grade spirit incense here.

The storage magic tool of the loose cultivator contained quite meager items, apart from a subpar magic treasure, only four to five thousand spirit stones, few elixirs, and sparse spiritual materials.

As for this person's identity, his name was known to be Qian Tong, but where he came from or how he obtained this Spirit Fragrance Jade Scroll was unknown.

Yuan Ming carefully examined the three jade scrolls, studied them repeatedly, and then picked up the blue inner armor and the three-pointed two-bladed saber to examine them.

These two items were also obtained from the blond, blue-eyed youth. The blue inner armor had certain protective capabilities, but that was not its greatest effect.

The armor was refined from celestial materials and could automatically resonate with the star power in the sky, allowing the wearer to rise from the ground and soar through the skies without needing mana to activate it.

The blue inner armor and the abilities of the Tongqiao Body were somewhat similar, presumably the Vajra Sect had imitated the effects of the Tongqiao Body and refined this magic armor, allowing Body Cultivators who had not reached the Tongqiao Realm to fly out of their bodies.

The three-pointed two-bladed saber was hard and extremely sharp. Injecting mana into it had no effect, but it was a weapon specifically tailored for Body Cultivation.
