His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

Having transformed into a spirit and attached herself to Xu Bing, Yu'e, though only a day after returning to the mortal world, undeniably felt a fondness and curiosity towards this eccentric national advisor.

"Not many... I'd estimate a little over ten thousand steps," Xu Bingping said calmly.

"Ten thousand, that's not bad... ten thousand!?"

Yu'e, with her aloof and solitary demeanor like a plum blossom standing alone in the snow, raised her voice several octaves.

"Ahem." Yu'e composed herself, feeling slightly embarrassed. Her soul voice echoed softly, like a clear spring flowing in a secluded valley, "Young master is indeed extraordinary."

"Fairy Jade Maiden, how about we make a deal?" Xu Bing stopped, and those familiar words came again.

"A transaction?" Yu'e asked, puzzled.

"You will do your best to assist me in my cultivation. You must never tell anyone my secrets. If I can, I will also do my best to help you nourish your soul, and I will not gossip about you." Xu Bing said, pacing back and forth.

Yu'e was speechless. What was this guy doing? Taichu walked with golden steps, yet he was pacing back and forth?

However, she understood the meaning behind those words. Xu Bing himself was extraordinary and had secrets. The matter of the Creation Lotus alone could cause a great deal of reaction.

The uproar was immense.

Whether it's good or bad, if it's good, one can soar to great heights; if it's bad, one might be utterly destroyed, body and soul.

That's quite prudent... Yu'e thought with approval.

“Of course,” Yu’e replied, her voice echoing in my heart, melodious and clear. Talking with her always seemed to bring peace to my mind.

After replying, Yu'e couldn't help but chuckle to herself. The Imperial Preceptor was still young after all. Apart from the wondrous Lotus of Creation, what did it matter what other secrets he might possess?

How much fortune did Yu'e have in her lifetime, how many secrets of heaven did she seize? Could a mere boy from the Lantern Realm possibly move her?

Seeing that Yu'e agreed, the transaction secretly took effect. Xu Bing chuckled. Only then did he dare to reveal a few of his doubts and secrets about his cultivation path…

……

February 9th.

early morning.

Xu Bing got up to wash up. Last night's harvest was decent; he obtained a "Han Di Guo" (a type of fruit), which granted him the ability to "sensory the earth." When he stepped on the ground, he could faintly feel the fluctuations within it.

Small skills, but great uses.

As for Yu'e…

Last night I witnessed Xu Bing in Taichu Middle School, and I walked around all night. I also learned about Xu Bing's various minor realms.

Unable to calm down for a moment, she finally cursed him a few times as a "demon" and then retreated back into her ring.

Compared to the Frugal Fruit, the common knowledge of Qi Refiners I gained yesterday is the greatest achievement.

Xu Bingcai learned that the disciples of the Great Immortal Sect, according to the Great Dao lineage, divided minor realms into two categories: "Minor Realm of Blessing" and "Minor Realm of Self."

As the name suggests, the conditions for achieving the "Minor Realm of Blessing" mostly rely on blessings and opportunities, which are beyond one's control.

For example, Song Si's "Imperial Blessing" realm requires reaching a specific blessed land in the Primordial Era to cultivate this realm.

extremely rare.

For example, Zhao Qingyun's "White Jade" requires great fortune; one must pluck the "White Jade Grass" in the Primordial Era to enter this realm.

As for the "small realm of self," it is something that can be controlled by oneself, just like the "six thousand steps" small realm. It can be controlled by oneself. After practicing for several days in the beginning, taking six thousand steps every day, one can enter this realm.

Because the cultivation of Qi is too complex and difficult to form into routines or fixed patterns, it is very difficult to find a good teacher.

What startled Yu'e into losing her composure was that Xu Bing's minor realms were mostly minor realms of blessings.

"Treasure Hunting" refers to the act of finding treasures; once a certain number are found, they can be acquired.

"Clench your fist" – this indicates the number of treasures you've collected; take another step closer and you can enter.

"Yueze" can be entered by crossing a swamp filled with poisonous gas.

"Ninety thousand steps" means walking more than ninety thousand steps every day to enter the realm.

Yu'e is knowledgeable and experienced; if judged by age, she could even be considered a senior figure.

She had heard of the three realms of "Treasure Hunting," "Clenching Fist," and "Crossing the Marsh," and could explain them in detail to Xu Bing, telling him about the effects of each realm without any small detail.

First comes the "Treasure Hunting" minor realm, which increases one's fortune and makes one more sensitive to spiritual treasures of heaven and earth.

Entering the "clenched fist" minor realm allows for a deeper and more stable connection with the treasure one possesses. This realm will become even more important as one acquires more magical treasures in the future.

As for the "Yueze" minor realm, Yu'e had also heard of it, and its wondrous uses were even more profound than the previous three realms.

In the small realm of Yueze, the area illuminated by the Daoist lamp can be transformed into a swamp of poisonous gas!

It is a rare minor realm, as swamps are seldom encountered and even more difficult to cross. If a Qi Refining cultivator at the Lantern Realm encounters a swampy area in the Primordial Beginning Realm, they must consider whether to detour.

Crossing the swamp is not a wise move. Even if one doesn't die deep in the swamp, it would take an ordinary Qi cultivator at least two or three years to cross it.

Those Qi cultivators at the "low level" could only travel a few hundred steps a day. When they encountered a swamp, it was like a nightmare. Even if they returned the way they came, because the Primordial Realm was dark and the range of their Dao Lamp was small, they would lose their way, go around in circles, and always end up returning to the edge of the swamp.

In the end, many people had no choice but to give up on the path to immortality and return to the mortal world...

The beginning of time was mysterious, unpredictable, and difficult to fathom; even Yu'e today would never dare to be careless.

however…

Xu Bing's illness refreshed her understanding, almost making the aloof fairy utter the words "Holy crap!" But due to her limited knowledge, she couldn't say it and could only stare blankly.

Especially after learning about the "90,000 steps" realm.

Yu'e's voice was trembling, but she tried her best to maintain her cool, composed, and knowledgeable persona. "Young Master Xu... Yu'e's soul is too damaged. Please allow Yu'e to think about it."

That's how last night was spent.

……

Yesterday's sale of rice allowed Xu Bing to quickly recover his losses, and he now has over two thousand taels in hand.

The festive atmosphere of the Welcoming the West Festival still lingers.

The streets were bustling, his own business was thriving, and Xu Bingle was very pleased with himself.

Just outside the mansion, Xu Bing, sitting in the carriage, felt something and looked up at the sky.

A platinum eagle swooped down and landed on his shoulder.

The gyrfalcon goes a step further, being predominantly white with strands of gold tinge along the edges of its fur.

Even more handsome.

【Yuan Ying!】

With a flap of its wings, it can summon a mighty wind; with a swing of its claws, it can shatter iron claws!

After consuming the "Hundred Beasts Fragrance Liquid," the gyrfalcon transformed into a Yuan Eagle, further enhancing its strength.

Xu Bing was overjoyed and released Yuan Ying, who now had another great help to him.

Yuan Ying and Xu Bing shared the same vision and were of one mind. Xu Bing instructed him to fly around the vicinity of Da Xi City.

The current geographical situation flashed through Xu Bing's mind, and suddenly...

Xu Bing recalled that when he dealt with the water source, he obtained three mining sites.

Firstly, Tantan Mountain and Tancun Village became one of his bases.

Now that Xu Bing's power is growing, he can expand his base. Yuan Ying swooped down and flew towards places like Pijiu Mountain and Kailie Mountain.

Both mountain landscapes came into his view. He played with the thumb ring, comparing the two landscapes in his mind.

We need to consider which mountain is more suitable for the next stage of development.
