Gathering materials

  If Lin Mei and Lin Xue's talents were slightly inferior, even if it was the eight-tailed Baitou Fox, Leng Huan might not have taken such a risky plan to seize the Heart of the Sea.

  Apart from this, Leng Hao had another reason, Baitou Hu, which could mobilize the power of the moon. He wanted to set up a Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array, which would have two array hearts, Taiyang and Taisui. In his past life, in order to successfully set up such an array, apart from the array diagram, he also needed powerful array flags to suppress the array heart.

  Leng Hao currently has neither the materials to refine a powerful array nor the cultivation for it, so he can only think of other ways.

  Fortunately, the Zhōu Tiān Xīng Dòu Great Array was improved and weakened to be placed on the body, reducing the array's power to its lowest point. Later, as cultivation increases, the array's power will increase again. In this situation, the two little girls activated the Moonlight Force, using their pure Nine-Tailed Fox's innate divine blood to form a Moon Core, which can suppress the Taiyin Array Heart. Moreover, this Moon Core is truly merged with the Great Array and will strengthen as cultivation increases, making it a one-time effort that will last forever.

  So many benefits, Leng Hao said that he must try it out, and take the heart of Hai Lan.

  As for the solar array, that strand of residual fire spirit energy refined to the extreme is the best suppressant, enough to activate the power of the sun's essence and form a solar core.

  There is still a month's time, in the inventory of Feng's and Huang's families, with Leng Hao taking what he needs, there is enough time to refine some array symbols or even an array disk.

  Yin Fa requires a strong foundation of cultivation, Gu technique doesn't have poisonous insects or medicine at hand, the cultivation period is too long, one month's time is not enough, alchemy and equipment refinement require a lot of materials and time, don't have that much energy.

  Leng Hao thought about it over and over again, apart from formation techniques, only talismans could help him increase his combat strength in a short period of time.

  Talismans are divided into two types, talismans and incantations. Incantations take effect slowly and must have a specific target, as well as the target's hair, fur, name, birth date, etc., in order to be effective.

  Ling Hao considered the symbols, with the help of the symbol text, he could make up for the inadequacy of his cultivation and mobilize some of the power of heaven and earth to attack. Although its power was much weaker than the attack triggered by the seal method, it had advantages such as low consumption and lower restrictions on cultivation.

  Talismans, Gu sorcery and beast-controlling techniques, as well as mechanical puppetry, are all inferior Daoist arts. Alchemy, artifact refinement, seal scripts, and array formations - these are the true great Daoist schools.

  Whether it's upper three flows or lower three flows, Leng Hao has dabbled in all of them. If there wasn't a lack of suitable objects around him, he really wanted to tame a powerful demon beast or refine a puppet and the like, which would instantly boost his combat strength.

  In the initial stages of cultivation, up to the point before becoming a terrestrial immortal, things like talismans, gu (poison) techniques, and beast-controlling techniques are actually more effective at increasing combat power than those grand daoist methods. It's only later on, due to being restricted by many factors, that their power can't be increased further, which is why they're defined as lower-tier.

  Leng Hao told Feng Lingyun that the old man wanted to help him refine some protective objects he could use, so he needed to go gather materials.

  "Hmm, this is Mother's token, you don't need to tell them these things. The specific reasons, Mother will tell them later. Matters concerning seniors, from now on, don't mention them to anyone else except Mother."

  Leng Hao nodded slightly, apart from Feng Lingyin, he wouldn't say much to anyone else.

  Leng Hao took the token handed over by Feng Lingyun, but didn't leave immediately. He had just returned and was in seclusion to make a breakthrough, which lasted for more than a month. He hadn't had a good talk with his mother yet, anyway, there was still a month's time left, no rush.

  It had been many months since she last ate, and despite being supplemented by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, Leng Hua still felt hungry.

  Feng Lingyun's faction had prepared some exquisite and delicious dishes and snacks, Feng Lingyun casually ate a bit, and at other times, she was always helping Leng Hao to pick dishes.

  Leng Hao felt a deep sense of satisfaction, no urgent need for revenge, no goals to pursue, doing things at will, with a relaxed mindset, this was the life he wanted most.

  In the morning, I tour the East Sea; in the evening, I lodge on Mount Cangwu. At leisure, I lie on a cloud-soft couch and get drunk while sailing on a boat. This carefree attitude has been his longing for a long time.

  The food is exquisite, although Feng Lingyue and Leng Lingtian have a bad relationship, but no one dares to play any tricks in front of the Queen.

  Leng Hao is a person who likes to enjoy life, otherwise, he would not be proficient in both culinary arts and winemaking techniques in his past life. Apart from satisfying his own desires, he also uses these to cultivate his emotions and forget some unhappy things.

  They had a meal that lasted for a long time, and the mother and son chatted happily. Feng Lingyun went to rest, having been on edge for over a month without getting a good rest. Now that she was relaxed, she felt somewhat unable to hold up.

  Leng Hao had just made a breakthrough and was feeling refreshed and invigorated. He took the token his mother had given him and headed to the Elder's Hall.

  Feng Lingyun's token, combined with Leng Hao Taizi's identity, allowed him to pass through the Elder Hall unimpeded. No one stepped forward to stop him, nor did anyone ask him for the reason he was searching for materials.

  The treasury of the Council of Elders, which is also the national treasury of Great Yan, is located underground in the area where the Council of Elders is situated. The entire inner treasury is surrounded by jade stones and has multiple layers of array formations, ensuring a high level of security for the inner treasury.

  Leng Hao descended from the back door of the nursing home, down the stairs, and he could feel that apart from the four people guarding him on the surface, there were also some hidden masters around, the guards here were indeed not bad.

  The stairs were very long. When Leng Xiao had descended five meters, the opening at the top of his head was closed. By the time he wanted to come out, he would have to contact the elder outside from here again.

  The entrance was closed, but it didn't get dark here. The entire staircase and the surrounding walls were all made of jade, emitting a faint white glow.

  Leng Hao went down the stairs quickly and soon reached the bottom.

  Below was a large hall, Leng Xiao took a look around and found four doors leading to four rooms.

  Nothing is made overly complicated here, and true treasures won't be hidden here either.

  On the four jade doors above, each has a name engraved on it. From left to right, they are Fa Bao Shi (Dharma Treasure Room), Dan Yao Shi (Elixir Medicine Room), Gong Fa Shi (Martial Arts Room) and Cai Liao Shi (Materials Room).

  The Great Yan State is just a small country, and it's no wonder that many niche things are missing. It's divided into only four rooms.

  Leng Hao entered the Treasure Pavilion first. If there were indeed some good treasures, it would save him the trouble of refining them himself.

  However, what disappointed him was that the room wasn't very big. After walking around in circles, he didn't find anything that caught his eye. The best treasure had a quality similar to the Cloud Robe with Phoenix Feathers that his mother had given him.

  Yunxiang Fengyu Yi, because it was given by his mother, had the added value of maternal love, so Leng Hao had been wearing it close to his body all along. Otherwise, with his vision, he would not have looked at this kind of treasure with favor.

  Fa Bao, Ling Bao, Zhi Bao. Not mentioning Zhi Bao, wanting to make Leng Hao enter the eye, at least it must be a Ling Bao.

  Coming out of the Law Treasure Room, Leng Hao entered the Dan Medicine Room again. A truly powerful alchemist would either be recruited by a family or sect, treated as an honored guest, or forced into servitude. Those who remained outside were either extremely talented or utterly incompetent and had yet to grasp the basics.

  The alchemists of the Great Yan State, naturally, cannot have great masters. The inferior alchemists' elixirs are naturally unpleasing to Leng Hua, this alchemy master.

  There aren't many types of dan medicines here, and the quality is all very poor. They're just some simple Qi-restoring Dans and wound-healing medicines. These low-grade dan medicines only have an effect that's slightly better than directly taking medicinal herbs. Cold Hao doesn't think much of them at all.

  Leng Hao searched several times, Leng Lingtian had sent someone to deliver the Zijin Dan for his mother to take, but it wasn't here. It seems that this Zijin Dan is not something that the alchemists of Dayan can refine, probably Leng Lingtian obtained it by chance or at great cost. There should only be some by Leng Lingtian's side, even the inner warehouse of the Longevity Sect doesn't have any.

  Leng Hao didn't take these elixirs, it's better for him to prepare some herbs himself and refine them into elixirs, which would be much better than these.

  Out of the Dan Yao room, Leng Hao directly bypassed the Gong Fa room without entering. In his memory, he didn't know how many divine arts and techniques there were, so what was the point of looking at these superficial techniques here?

  Leng Hao finally entered the material room, which was much larger compared to the treasure rooms and dan medicine rooms he had seen before. There were many rare materials that not everyone in the Great Yan Empire could recognize, and some even if they did, were too high-grade to be refined into treasures or dan medicines. Therefore, Leng Hao's interest in this place was much greater, and with good luck, he might really find a few good things.

  Refined iron ore, jade crystal, herbs, demon beast essence, and demon dan, dazzling to the eye.

  Leng Hao took a look at the medicinal herbs, there were many types, but most of them were ordinary things.

  Qī xīng cǎo, jīn yín huā. Lěng Hào used his spiritual sense to scan through the numerous ordinary medicinal herbs, and with his keen eyesight, he didn't take long to find two extraordinary medicinal herbs that were different from the rest.

  Qī xīng cǎo zài xīng xīng cǎo zhī jiān, xīng xīng cǎo hán yǒu yì diǎn xīng chén zhī lì, shì zài xīng guāng chōng yù de dì fāng shēng zhǎng, suǒ yǒu hěn cháng jiàn de yī zhǒng cǎo lèi yào wù, zhè lǐ shōu luó de xīng xīng cǎo, dōu shì xīng chén zhī lì bǐ jiāo zú yù de, zhì shǎo dōu shì cháng yǒu shí nián yǐ shàng.

  Seven-star grass is almost identical to star grass, except that the stardust is slightly denser and is often mistaken for a much older star grass.

  Leng Hao could clearly feel that within the body of the Seven Star Grass, there were seven different stellar powers, corresponding to the Big Dipper.

  This seven-star grass, the years are not long, and the measures to preserve the medicinal properties are not well done, losing a lot of star power. Cold Hua estimated that with these seven-star powers as the guide, it should be possible to refine a simple Seven-Star Greedy Wolf Array talisman.

  Jin Yin Hua, for refined iron objects, has a refining effect, which is its greatest use. If not understood by people, it is often used to refine elixirs and can adjust some violent energies during the refinement process.
