Shennong Sequence

However, Zhao Yun had a different idea:

Since it is difficult to find innate resources in the outside world, why not try to expand the inner world, thereby forging some innate resources and generating innate energy? In this way, the innate resources needed for cultivation will be available.

Moreover, he possesses a material transformation method, which allows him to continuously acquire resources such as spirit stones, and also to use these resources to strengthen the stability of his inner world and aid its growth...

This is another powerful aspect of the Material Transformation Method as an auxiliary creation method, which distinguishes it from those Great Dao methods that are specifically used for combat, deduction, or possess other mysterious abilities!
However, in general, if we want to use the material transformation method to assist the growth of the inner world, we still need more resources and energy to support it.

More importantly, the upper limit of the various resources that the material transformation method can transform is always constrained by the "Foundation Building Realm".

Unable to reach the origin level of the Golden Core Realm and above, it is naturally difficult to provide a more core driving force for the growth of the inner world.

Therefore, the only way for the material transformation method to bring growth to the inner world is to analyze the fundamental composition of all things and continuously transmit this compositional information, which contains the rhythm of heaven and earth, to the inner world, thereby enriching the fundamental foundation of the inner world.

Only when the primordial information of the inner world is sufficiently rich can the inner world better absorb massive resources, thereby promoting the continuous growth of the inner world's world membrane and world boundary, and expanding the internal space!
The more expansive the space, the more it means that the overall size of the inner world is gradually expanding.

As the inner world continues to grow in this way, it will not only directly boost Zhao Yun's own strength, but also, over time, condense some innate elements deep within the inner world!

On this point alone, the inner world and the divine spiritual realm are worlds apart.

Zhao Yun had also deduced the differences between the two and had his own understanding: the origin of the divine spiritual realm was special - it was originally based on a mountain god stone, with the mountain god's divinity as its source, and was refined by the forest mountain god in imitation of the state of 'opening up false chaos and separating false purity and turbidity'.

From a holistic perspective, it is actually just a special space created on the stable foundation of the Mountain God Stone, with divinity as its source.

It must not be regarded as the real 'world'.

Therefore,
The divine spiritual realm can only be considered a spatial creation.
The inner world, however, possesses the foundation to evolve and grow into a complete world.
The difference between the two is obvious.

Zhao Yun even had a vague idea in his mind: if the mountain god's divinity could not continue to grow, one day, the expansion of the divine spiritual domain would completely stop, and it would no longer be able to continue to grow.

But the inner world is completely different—the most typical example is that after the inner world of the Dragon Emperor was separated, it was able to evolve into the 'True Dragon World'!
Within that true dragon world, the might of dragons is vast and boundless. Amidst the churning sea of ​​clouds, the phantom of the ancient true dragon can be seen shuttling through, its territory covering hundreds of millions of miles. Within it, there is also a rich ancient dragon aura that swirls and nourishes all things... Such vastness and vitality are far beyond what the divine spiritual realm can achieve.

"Alas! If only I could extract the innate primordial water sealed within the divine spiritual realm and directly infuse it into my inner world!"

"At that time, by using the innate power of the Primordial Weak Water to nourish my inner world, I can accelerate its growth and even have the opportunity to evolve innate substances for my cultivation using True Lead and True Mercury..."

"Moreover, the Primordial Weak Water itself contains immense innate creation power, making it more than sufficient to directly condense innate essence, innate energy, and innate spirit..."

"Unfortunately, only that yellow cloth, following my spiritual will, has traveled to this ancient world and must remain here for another hundred years before I can return..."

Given this situation, even if Zhao Yun had many plans in mind, he could only sigh helplessly.

With no other option, he could only temporarily put aside his thoughts of the Innate Primordial Embryo Weak Water and continue to search everywhere for traces of innate spiritual objects, even if it was just a clue!
Therefore, Zhao Yun even went to the Dao Gong Treasury to check the specific prices of innate-level materials, but the result made his heart sink: the cheapest innate Qi cost 10,000 Dao Gong for a single strand. And he was currently working as the warehouse manager of the treasure mine, and he could only accumulate 10 Dao Gong a month. At this rate, he didn't know when he would be able to accumulate enough Dao Gong for a single strand of innate Qi.

What's even more frustrating is that the Daoist cultivation techniques in the Daoist cultivation technique vault cannot be exchanged for ordinary spirit stones; only top-grade spirit stones can be used.

But how precious are top-grade spirit stones...

Besides, although there are private channels for exchanging Daoist cultivation techniques, the process is cumbersome and requires a large amount of spirit stones, which is unrealistic for Zhao Yun at present.

Moreover, even if he accumulates enough Dao power to exchange for a strand of innate Qi, it is far from enough for his current cultivation needs in the "Lead and Mercury Extraction" stage. He needs at least three strands of innate Qi to support him in completing the condensation of the Lead and Mercury Extraction stage.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun frowned, feeling that the road ahead was still long and difficult...

Two days later, when Xin Ruyin found Zhao Yun, she brought him some special news:
"I did find out about a rare spiritual insect called the Innate Gu."

This insect possesses a unique and extraordinary characteristic—it can reverse acquired traits and transform innate traits!
However, it needs to absorb enough resources to condense even a small amount of innate matter.

"However, this innate Gu consumes a great deal of resources, requiring the absorption of countless rare and precious materials to transform even a tiny fraction of innate essence..."

Currently, this innate Gu is being promoted at the auction house in the Seventeenth Imperial Immortal City, and many powerful families are also interested in seeing the specific condition of this innate Gu in person.

"In addition, most of the innate resources obtained from other places are one-time consumption items; once used, they are gone."

But the Innate Gu is different. Although it devours a great deal of resources, as long as you feed it enough, it can produce innate substances for you; and with continued feeding, it can continue to condense, making it a veritable 'living treasure' that continuously produces innate substances.

"That's why this innate Gu has attracted the attention of many powerful families and clans, and it has now become the focus of contention among all parties..."

After Xin Ruyin explained the situation, Zhao Yun knew that he had no chance of obtaining the Innate Gu.

Not to mention the spirit insect itself, even the resources needed to feed it afterward are far beyond what he can currently afford.

In the days that followed, Zhao Yun once again embarked on a quest to find the source of the treasures. Although he gleaned some information about innate resources, it was all too fragmented.

One innate substance is in a mine in the eastern region of the sect, another is in a secret realm in the lower realm connected by the Flying Immortal Platform, and some are auctioned off in hundreds of Imperial Immortal Cities within the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dao Sect, yet they are separated by tens of thousands of miles.

Therefore, Zhao Yun was never able to find even a trace of innate energy.

However, overall, the Wanling Yudao Sect still possesses innate resources; it is not completely cut off.

However, once allocated to individuals, it becomes an extremely rare resource, so much so that ordinary cultivators rarely even get to see it. (End of Chapter)
