In the market, everyone stood frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.
After a long, long time, the thunder that had echoed countless times finally dissipated slowly.
The massive shadow gradually moved away, and the radiance of the Great Sun once again shone upon the world.
But by this time, the sun had dimmed, and it was unclear how much time had passed.
Gu Yuan looked down and touched himself, discovering the blood rain on his body had quietly disappeared at some point.
Yet a few spirit grasses on Silver Moon Bay, seemingly nourished, grew even more lush.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Only then did the people in the market awaken as if from a dream, and without a word, they hurriedly used their escape light to return to their respective cave mansions.
The fall of the True Dragon had no inevitable connection with the disciples of the Qi Refining Stage.
But this was undoubtedly the most earth-shattering event in the cultivation realm in tens of thousands of years, and the waves it created would surely affect everyone!
Gu Yuan didn’t know what kind of impact this event would have on him, whether good or bad.
"But no matter what, seizing the time to grow stronger is the most important thing."
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then deployed his Cloud-Stepping Shuttle to continue flying toward the Pill Furnace Institute.
He needed to seek out the Jade Turtle Armor to refine the Dharma Seal quickly.
...
...
The disciple guarding the Pill Furnace Institute was also in a daze, and it took several calls from Gu Yuan to wake him up.
Fortunately, the process of purchasing the Jade Turtle Armor went very smoothly. The Daoist School was wealthy, and almost any treasure was kept in stock; Gu Yuan only took a piece from the Dao Pattern’s edge, obtaining it easily.
However, it was quite valuable, costing as much as forty spirit stones.
This made Gu Yuan once again sigh at the allure of the word "wealth."
If it weren’t for Stone Liquid, if it weren’t for the Golden Core’s aid, he truly wouldn’t know how to stand out in cultivation.
After obtaining the necessary items, Gu Yuan made no pause and returned directly to the cave mansion to begin preparing to refine the Dharma Seal.
...
Refining the Dharma Seal is not difficult; the hard part is how to comprehend the Dao Pattern.
It’s like a pile of building blocks; the materials don’t change, but constructing them into the desired model is the most important thing.
Gu Yuan knew that his talent was not exceptional, so he could only progress slowly, bit by bit.
This comprehension took him ten days.
...
"Buzz, buzz!"
On a transparent shadow wall, Gu Yuan’s spiritual sense was like water, gradually entwining the golden silk and jade thread, trying to outline it into a Dao Pattern.
But the fusion of the Dao Pattern always lacked a bit of smoothness, and at the final node, it exploded with a bang, turning the shadow wall into powder.
The shadow wall is an essential item for refining a Dharma Seal.
This object, paired with the golden silk and jade thread, can simulate the formation of a Dao Pattern. If the Dao Pattern is successfully outlined, hidden with celestial charm, the shadow wall will remain intact.
If the shadow wall explodes, it means the Dao Pattern is incomplete and has flaws.
Almost all cultivators use this item when refining a Dharma Seal to ensure comprehension of the Dao Pattern.
After all, spiritual materials have only one chance, and if they fail, they must start over.
But even a piece of the shadow wall for the Qi Refining Stage requires a spirit stone, and multiple failures can be quite painful.
At this moment, beneath Gu Yuan’s feet, there were already ten shattered shadow walls.
Gu Yuan’s heart bled, but he could only gather his spirits and continue to comprehend.
Thankfully, income from fishing every three days kept him from being in the red.
...
...
"Buzz, buzz!"
Under the control of his spiritual sense, gold threads as fine as hair moved up and down, left and right, as if a tempestuous storm and a misty fog appeared on the shadow wall.
A peculiar charm circulated without pause.
"Succeeded!"
"I finally comprehended this Cloud-Walking Seal!"
"Next is refining."
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, a trace of joy appearing on his face.
The Dao Pattern was intricate and complex, like seeing flowers in the mist; he exhausted his heart power to finally comprehend it on the thirteenth day.
