Transmigration begins with archery training

February of the 16th year of Tianwu.

Tianyong City, Wujiang Palace.

Chen Sanshi bent over the ground, continuously carving the array and drawing the array flags. After completing all the steps, he placed forty-nine mid-grade spirit stones into the prepared grooves.

As the formation was activated, waves of rich spiritual energy spread out from it, quickly filling the entire hall.

Spirit Gathering Array!

This formation was a second-tier formation that was found during the raid on the Li family's property.

With the help of this formation, his skill level also broke through to the second tier.

[Skill: Formation (Tier 2)]

【Progress: 0/1000】

[Effect: Practice makes perfect]

[Practice makes perfect: As your array formation skills become more proficient, you will gradually master the tricks of the trade, increasing the efficiency of array deployment and saving on the consumption of spiritual energy and magical power.]

This entry mainly focuses on improving overall formation skills, which will save a lot of time when setting up formations in the future.

Formations, talismans, and even puppetry will all be useful in crafting spirit-destroying or spirit-sealing formations in the future; it's best not to neglect any of them.

After creating the spirit-gathering array, Chen Sanshi immediately began drawing talismans.

[Skill: Talisman Drawing (Tier 2)]

【Progress: 755/1000】

After obtaining the "True Talisman Manual," the speed of improvement in the art of talismans became quite significant.

As for the puppets, thanks to the large amount of spoils of war in Beiyang Road, there are enough materials to refine and upgrade them.

Chen Sanshi used a specially made carving knife and talisman brush to carve and outline the puppet emperor's body, occasionally casting incantations to inject various materials into it.

During this process, the Great Dao Laws contained within the puppet emperor's body became more complex and perfected, until a flash of inspiration led to an upgrade in rank.

[Skill: Heavenly Evolution of Myriad Weapons Technique (Level 2)]

【Progress: 0/1000】

[Effect: Lifelike]

[Lifelike: The carving technique is skillful, making the puppet more complete, giving it a sense of life, and enabling it to breathe spiritual energy and elevate its own rank.]

Chen Sanshi looked up.

Near the lower abdomen of the puppet emperor, an array appeared, resembling a cultivator's dantian, breathing in and refining the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The so-called natal puppet is originally a part of one's own soul that has been separated out. Now it can refine its own magic power, and it may soon have a certain combat power.

After mastering all the skills, Chen Sanshi would take advantage of his rest time to sit cross-legged and cultivate the realm of immortality.

Before he knew it, a night had passed. He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air.

[Cultivation Technique: Fire Devouring Technique, Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage]

【Progress: 55/1000】

Insufficient spiritual energy!

Even with the spirit-gathering array, the spiritual energy within the Boundless Palace is only at the pseudo-second rank, which is already somewhat insufficient to support further cultivation.

He desperately needs to find a second-tier or higher spiritual vein to cultivate in.

Moreover, Chen Sanshi did not have the follow-up content of the "Dragon Scripture". He knew that after he finished dealing with his recent matters, he should go to Tianshui Continent again and try his luck in entering the Qingxu Sect.

Last time in Beiyang Road.

Chen Sanshi had interacted with the blind woman before. She knew his identity but didn't report him, which meant it was worth trying to get close to her.

He slowly rose and walked out of the gate of the Boundless Palace.

In just six months, Tianyong City has undergone considerable changes.

The newly opened "Doushuai Palace" is used to refine elixirs.

The newly opened "Qianyun Palace" is used to draw talismans.

The newly opened "Sanqing Palace" is used for practicing formations.

The newly opened "Wuming Palace" is used to forge ritual implements.

The newly opened "Tonglu Palace" is used to refine puppets.

In the Flower and Herb Palace, where the Heavenly Soil is placed, a group of disciples are also practicing spiritual plant cultivation.

However, the "Immortal Examination" has only just begun, and many captains have already sacrificed themselves at Dafeng Mountain. So the number of people in Tianyong City is still not very large.

After going around in circles, Chen Sanshi arrived at the 28th floor of Yuntai, in front of the Heroes' Monument in Baiyu Square, dug out the Longyuan Sword, and personally added a batch of names to it.

Having a good memory can be both a good thing and a bad thing.

Many people only have a fleeting encounter with him, but they can never forget him, and strange images will always appear in their minds.

Putting away the Dragon Abyss, Chen Sanshi said without turning around, "Here it comes."

"Disciple pays homage to Master!"

Su Can, along with the Yu brothers, Yu Ji and Yu Lie, said in unison.

"I have called you here today because I wish to pass on a set of martial arts techniques to you."

Chen Sanshi bluntly said, "This set of techniques is more suitable for Su Can to cultivate, but you two can also learn from it and see if you can learn something from it."

As the teacher, he also needs to treat everyone equally to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Your disciple will heed your teachings!"

"Ah."

Chen Sanshi picked up the Longyuan sword, which gleamed with dazzling golden light in the sunlight: "This set of techniques was inspired by the secret sword technique of the Li family of Beiyang Dao. I have modified it into the 'Heavenly Realm Breathing Method,' which is divided into the fierce 'Mirror Sun' Breathing Method and the gentle 'Mirror Moon' Breathing Method."

"Su Can should practice Jing Ri, and Yu Ji and Yu Lie can try Jing Yue."

As he spoke, he began to demonstrate two sets of exercises.

During the process, Chen Duhe also came to Baiyu Square, where he practiced and came into contact with different cultivation techniques.

The Mirror Moon Sword Technique was originally a method of cultivation passed down through magic practitioners, but in the six months after Chen Sanshi returned, he devoted himself to studying it and successfully created his own martial arts technique, which also included a special breathing method.

He was quite excited at the moment of success.

The feeling of creating this new technique is completely different from practicing existing inherited methods.

Chen Sanshi was able to do this partly because of his years of accumulated experience and partly because of his skill in reading.

The terms "photographic memory," "exquisite intelligence," and "enlightened understanding" all originate from this source.

[Skill: Reading (Mastery)]

【Progress: 225/2000】

Proficiency increases very slowly, but every bit of proficiency is accumulated, and it's a long process.

After teaching him martial arts, Chen Sanshi went to the Taiji Hall to attend court. After the court session, the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) and the eunuchs from the Western Depot, under the command of Zhao Kang, escorted several prisoners into the hall.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Kang said, "These people have recently been lurking within the territory of our Great Han, searching for remnants of the Cao family from the previous dynasty. They were captured by our people, and we discovered that some of them were disciples of the Guiyuan Sect. Therefore, we have brought them here to be handed over to Your Majesty for processing."

"Guiyuan Sect, descendants of the Cao family?"

Chen Sanshi sat on the dragon throne, expressionless as he surveyed the Qi Refining cultivator in the prison cart, whose heart and collarbone had been pierced. He calmly questioned, "That Cao Zhi doesn't seem like someone who would care about distant blood relatives. What are you trying to do by sending you to search for him?"

"..."

Inside the prison cart, the cultivator, covered in blood and covered in wounds, turned his face to the side and remained silent.

"Commander Zhao, what did you do?"
