My Cultivation Starting from Archery Chapter 1035 - 327: Compass 2

He forced himself through the scorching mist, reaching the edge of the pool and peering down. There, at the crystal-clear and boiling hot bottom of the pool, he saw not a fierce beast, but scarlet flas burning.

Clusters of flas danced at the bottom, resembling red aquatic plants, making the entire pool as scorching as lava. Yet, they coexisted with the pool water, neither burning it dry nor being extinguished by it.

Fire in water, water and fire in harmony!

It seed that beneath was not suppressing a fierce beast, but so kind of rare fla!

Chen Sansi cultivated the "Swallowing Fire Technique," and imdiately thought of devouring the flas.

This fla defied the conventional Five Elents’ rules, being unaffected by water. If he could refine and absorb it for his own use, it would undoubtedly prove useful in the future.

He noticed that around the pool’s edge, a circle of black stones was laid out. The surface of the stones was densely engraved with runes, forming a formation together with the pool water, although its exact function was not imdiately apparent.

The token in Chen Sansi’s hand could not control the formation here, indicating that danger was not present, and he could safely interact with it.

With this in mind, he removed his clothes, affixed a protective talisman, and jumped directly into the pool.

The terrifying temperature instantly enveloped him, with lava-like currents fiercely scorching his flesh.

Chen Sansi endured the pain of nearly fleeing, descending inch by inch until he reached the pool bottom. Only then did he form seals with his hands to perform the Swallowing Fire Technique, intending to absorb a wisp of fire from the water for his own use.

Nurous dharma seals ford between his hands, drawing in the scarlet flas like a vortex. After being refined by the seals, the fla began to flow into his flesh and ridians.

However, Chen Sansi couldn’t endure beyond two breaths before an indescribable pain struck again. Realizing he couldn’t yet control this kind of fla, he had to stop.

At the sa ti, the protective talisman was destroyed, and the lava-like currents began to erode his flesh through his pores. Not daring to linger any further, he leaped out of the pool in one breath, rushed through the hot mist, and lay on the ground, gasping for air, his body swollen and red.

Such fierce fire!

Yet, the more it was like this, the more Chen Sansi wanted to acquire it.

He estimated that by the late stage of Foundation Establishnt, he would be able to withstand the pressure and subdue such flas!

Chen Sansi adjusted his breathing to recover and, instead of wandering around the valley bottom, returned to his cave mansion to formally begin his days of cultivation in the Qingxu Sect.

Apart from daily cultivation, he also had a few tasks to handle.

Firstly, there was the three-thousand-year-old "Ma Lucao" needed by Lord Taishan.

Familiar with the Qingxu Sect’s environnt, Chen Sansi often visited the sect’s Steward Hall to purchase items.

The Qingxu Sect had a secret realm dedicated to cultivating spirit plants.

According to records, "Ma Lucao" might appear within the secret realm. Although the age was often insufficient, this was not a problem for him.

However, heavenly materials and earthly treasures like these required not just spirit stones but sect rit for exchange.

The ways to earn sect rit were varied: guarding the dicine Garden, joining the Law Enforcent Hall, completing tasks, hunting, going down the mountain to capture demons, exorcising demons, and even exploring secret realms, among others...

The rit system distinguished sects from family power structures.

The system was designed to motivate disciples to work; if everyone chose to hide and survive, the sect would cease to exist in practice.

In Sky Wall City of the Great Han, a similar system existed, but it was not detailed enough and needed Xu Wencai and others to further refine it.

To gain access to the secret realm for gathering herbs in the Qingxu Sect required not much rit, but his current rit stood at zero.

Among the various ways to gain rit, the fastest thod was undertaking life-risking jobs like "slaying demons and exorcising evil."

Especially participating at the border in the righteous and demonic war, even doing nothing would earn rit monthly, and additional achievents would yield more.

Chen Sansi was not considering this route for now.

The Huayang Dao in the southwest of Sky Water Continent was not the central battlefield of the whole righteous and demonic war, so few high-level forces were concentrated there.

Yet, even so, there were nurous Golden Core cultivators, with Nascent Soul cultivators overseeing.

Such a level of battle made it very likely for soone at Chen Sansi’s current realm to beco cannon fodder if he went hastily.

After evaluating all ways to earn rit, he found that hunting, his old trade, posed relatively lower risks.

Huayang Dao had the Black Luster Mountain Range, stretching hundreds of thousands of miles and inhabited by nurous spiritual beasts, occasionally witnessing disturbances from the Demon Clan.

Unlike Beiyang Dao’s Chiling Mountain, Black Luster Mountain spanned both Sky Water Continent and the Demon Clan’s territory, acting as a buffer zone between humans and demons.

Inner sect disciples could enter Black Luster Mountain to hunt and could exchange the spiritual beasts they captured for rit and spirit stones.

This was what Chen Sansi needed to do at present.

Looking further ahead, he had two major tasks.

Firstly, preparing the materials required for the Golden Core and Glazed Gold Body Realm.

Whether on the Immortal Path or Martial Arts path, reaching the Third Realm was no longer a distant prospect for Chen Sansi.

Now holding the Emperor’s Breath Soil, gathering resources for both was not difficult, except for a few rare spiritual objects whose seeds and saplings were unattainable.

Speaking of which...

His master’s wife hoped he would help accelerate the growth of several spirit plants, two of which Chen Sansi had seen in Beiyang Dao.

One was the "Heavenly Fire Vermilion Bird Lotus," once appearing in the Bai Family’s dicine Valley; the other was the "Profound Fire Lotus" encountered in the Nine Nether Restricted Area.

Chen Sansi realized that his second senior sister, whom he had yet to et, should be the blind woman Jiang Xiyue from the Nine Nether Restricted Area.

Were these spirit plants prepared for the blind woman?

He didn’t ponder further, but instead, communicated via the blue bird to call Dongfang Jingxing to Huayang Dao, handing over the spirit plant saplings given by his master’s wife to be taken back for cultivation.

The core area of the Emperor’s Breath Soil could grow multiple spirit plants simultaneously, though it would impact maturation efficiency to varying degrees, it was the most efficient thod.

After all, he wasn’t the only one in the Great Han needing resources.

Additionally, there was another critical task.

The Extre North!

The Mang Mountain Ancestor Vein within the Great Han was slowly reviving day by day. If not resolved once and for all, it would be like a ti bomb over one’s head.

Regarding the Extre North, his fourth senior brother, Fang Qingyun, had left a separate letter in his will.

Since his fourth senior brother’s heroic self-sacrifice to establish national fortune, Chen Sansi had been dealing with various affairs non-stop, only relaxing slightly after resolving the Great Lake’s main peak matter.

Thus, he hadn’t had ti to look through the relics.

Finally today, Chen Sansi cautiously opened the envelope.

The last ti in the Nine Nether Restricted Area, when all laws were forbidden, so information about the Guardians was revealed through an elder’s words.

If so treasure in the Extre North could refine the Sealing and Spirit Extinguishing Arrays, it likely had connections with the Luoxiao Sect.

Before his eyes was an old letter paper, with a few familiar, careless words written on it.

These words were left by Sun Xiangzong:

"After I’m gone, choose the right ti to give this to your junior brother."

More than twenty years had passed, and seeing his master’s handwriting once more, Chen Sansi was montarily lost in thought, understanding what it ant to "see the words as if seeing the person."

He quickly composed himself and took out a compass-like item from the envelope. There was a slot in the central part, appearing as a miniature formation.

Chen Sansi took out a Middle-grade Spirit Stone and placed it inside. The compass indeed began to activate.

Specks of golden light rose like smoke, forming a river of stars in the void, with stars orbiting and dancing, its laws complex and mysterious beyond words.

"This is..."

Chen Sansi was a bit puzzled.

He wanted to understand the connection between this item and the Extre North.

After all, it was not only related to the refining of Sealing and Spirit Extinguishing Arrays but also capable of invoking the power left by Mr. i.

All Laws Forbidden!

If Chen Sansi could freely use All Laws Forbidden, even just once, acting in Sky Water Continent would be much more at ease.
