Chapter 224

Therefore, merely applying time acceleration to a single medicinal herb cannot ripen it.

To accelerate a medicinal herb with the Time Divine Art, it must be performed within a region rich in spiritual energy, so that the herb can both age properly and absorb sufficient spiritual energy to maintain its medicinal potency.

【You observed the Creation Fluid and sensed a trace of Creation Qi.】

【You observed the Creation Fluid and gained a faint personal understanding of the Way of Creation.】

Walking to the edge of the herb garden, he dropped a drop of Creation Fluid onto the Blood Bodhi tree.

Instantly, the Bodhi fruits on the tree began rapidly bearing fruit, ripening…

【You observed the workings of the Creation Fluid and comprehended the Principle of Creation.】

【Based on your understanding of the Way of Creation, you created the Divine Art: Creation Light.】

With a thought, a mysterious light condensed into a rune, appearing above the Sea of Hardship and Starry Sky.

Zhang Taixuan waved his hand, and a beam of light appeared, landing on a nearby large tree.

Instantly, the tree grew rapidly, bloomed, bore fruit, and ripened, releasing a sweet, fragrant aroma.

On the fruit tree, numerous fruits, resembling lotus apples, hung from the branches.

"What are these?"

A butterfly spirit stepped forward and reported in a clear voice: "These were brought by Young Lady Ying. They're said to be called Sunset Fruits."

"So they're a specialty of the Primordial Spirit world," Zhang Taixuan chuckled, plucking a few fruits and tossing them to the guarding butterfly spirits, then picking more and sending them to the chat group.

Zhang Taixuan: "Sending everyone something good. 【Red Packet】Just ripened these after gaining a new insight into the Creation Fluid."

Lei Yingying: "Sunset Fruits? Huh, why do they taste so much better than ordinary Sunset Fruits?!"

Su Xiao: "These are a specialty of the Primordial Spirit world—really good. Young Lady Ying, I want a Sunset Fruit plant too. I'll grow it in my Inner Realm so I can eat them every day."

Yotsuya Miko: "If possible, I'd like one too!"

Lei Yingying: "Sure. But you might be disappointed—Sunset Fruits from the Teyvat Continent aren't this delicious. This must be due to Brother Taixuan's influence?"

Su Xiao: "Creation Fluid?! Zhang Taixuan, you've just unlocked a new Divine Art?"

Han Paopao: "Is it that terrifying? My little green bottle won't become common trash, will it?!"

Ye Hei: "Pity—Lord Dao's casual insight is someone else's entire golden finger."

Zhang Taixuan: "Relax—this Divine Art won't be shared, nor will it affect your ability to ripen herbs for sale. Why would I cut off my groupmates' path to wealth?"

Han Paopao: "Lord Dao is truly righteous—I kneel before you."

Ye Hei: "Big Boss is truly beyond reproach. If it were anyone else, I probably wouldn't have gotten my Bodhi fruits—they'd have been snatched away long ago."

Yotsuya Miko: "You should thank Miss Su for failing—otherwise, our group would have gained another…"

Su Xiao: "【Angry】Miko, you're doing it again?!"

Huang Rong: "Hahaha, Xiao Xiao's black history will be played for ten thousand years."

Su Xiao: "【Sweating】By the way, Huang Rong, you've been quiet lately—where have you been?"

Huang Rong: "Hehe, I've been in Taixuan's Inner Realm, helping True Miss arrange the Inner Realm every day—so happy."

Amane Yōka: "Ah… Sister Rong is so proactive? I want to go too."

Miyamizu Miko: "Me too!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Alright, I've granted you all access—you can come over anytime."

Kasugano Shion: "If possible, I'd also like to visit the Taixuan World! Lord Dao, is that allowed?"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "+1"

Zhang Taixuan: "No problem."

In the end, all except a few male group members received permission to cross over.

Ye Hei and the others understood the situation and didn't mention it at all.

Clearly, the others were flirting—what would us guys be doing over there?

0 ····Requesting flowers······ ······

They didn't like philosophy anyway.

A moment passed.

Yotsuya Miko, Amane Yōka, and others had all arrived in the Taixuan World.

"Wow, so beautiful."

"There are so many little spirits!"

"Hey, these are Sunset Fruits—I want to eat one!"

"Eat as many as you like—except for the Immortal Herbs, everything's free."

It wasn't that he was stingy.

Immortal Herbs, if not refined into pills, are simply wasted if consumed by ordinary people.

After leading the women on a tour of the Taixuan World, they began chattering excitedly about their renovation plans.

Zhang Taixuan simply waved his hand and let them renovate freely.

After all, the Taixuan World was vast—larger than a galaxy—even if each of them transformed an area the size of Earth, it would still be a drop in the ocean.

After accompanying the women for a while, Zhang Taixuan returned to his quiet chamber, took out the Five-Colored Iron Essence, and tossed it into the Qiankun Cauldron.

Inside the Qiankun Cauldron, the Primordial Dao Fire surged, instantly melting it into liquid.

The next moment, a five-colored glass bottle appeared inside the Qiankun Cauldron.

Zhang Taixuan's thought shifted, and the Creation Light and Guiyuan Divine Art runes were etched one by one, imprinting every inch of the bottle—over a million runes in total.

Eventually, the runes merged into a mysterious pattern that remained on the bottle's surface, obscuring its original five-colored glow and turning it a jade-green hue.

When the rune etching was complete, the Dao Fire receded.

Instantly, the green little bottle took shape, radiating a misty spiritual light, and leapt out.

"Correct, it's a top-tier sacred weapon!"

Inscribed with the runes of the Divine Art of Creation and the Divine Art of Return to Origin, it serves only as an auxiliary tool.

But the value of this sacred weapon is certainly higher than that of an ordinary imperial weapon.

This thing alone could sustain a holy sect's prosperity for millions of years.

Of course, Zhang Taixuan had no intention of gifting it to others or selling it.

After observing for a while, the bottom of the bottle had already spontaneously absorbed various spiritual energies and essences, refining a single drop of Creation Fluid.

Only about one minute had passed.

If one drop of Creation Fluid can accelerate the maturation of a spiritual herb by 110 years, then by crafting this small green bottle, he could mature a single spiritual herb to nearly 160,000 years in a single day.

This is the formidable power of combining the Divine Art of Creation with the Divine Art of Return.

The Divine Art of Creation is the manifested embodiment of Creation's essence.

The Divine Art of Return can transform all forms of qi into Creation Fluid—far surpassing mere absorption of spiritual energy by an incalculable margin.

"So in seven days, I could cultivate a Primordial Embryo using Thunder Bamboo!"

"If I were to forge the Four Swords of Zhu Xian, it would take only one month."

The reason he wished to forge the Four Swords of Zhu Xian from a Primordial Embryo was naturally due to the mythological legends he had read before his transmigration: "Not copper, not iron, nor steel, it once lay hidden beneath Mount Sumeru. Without the inversion of yin and yang to refine it, how could it lack the edge forged by water and fire?"

Cultivating Thunder Bamboo into a Primordial Embryo after a million years first unites the Five Elements, then fuses yin and yang.

Ultimately forming the Primordial Embryo, it transcends both the Five Elements and yin-yang—making it the perfect divine material for forging the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.
