Shennong Sequence

Six months passed quietly, and Zhao Yun's shop gradually accumulated a group of regular customers.
Furthermore, every ten days, various supplies are discounted, especially those that sell well for the Gao family...

No matter how much of a discount there is, Zhao Yun will always make a profit from the things he creates using the material transformation method, and since he is at odds with the Gao family, why not?

Moreover, this ability to continue operating despite going against the Gao family has earned the shop a small reputation.

However, this fame is like an invisible cloud, which cannot be seen or touched, but it has indeed brought real benefits to Zhao Yun. Many cultivators like to come to Zhao Yun to trade goods!
All the goods traded would then pass through Zhao Yun's shop.

Therefore, the spiritual essence contained in the extraordinary spiritual materials circulating in the shop would be extracted by Zhao Yun and put into his inner world. After being analyzed and replicated by the 'Mother River of All Things', it would be fed to the Yellow Sprout Seed to slowly accumulate spiritual essence!
So, as six months passed in a flash,

One day, Zhao Yun closed the gate early and finished his shift. After returning to his residence, he quietly secluded himself and waited for the yellow sprout seed to transform.

The endless roots at the base of the Yellow Sprout Seed have already spread throughout the inner world, even extending beyond its boundaries and touching the void!
But today, I finally accumulated enough spirituality, and in that moment, it merged with the vast spiritual power I had built up.

A crisp "snap" sound rang out.

A crack was forced open at the top of the plump yellow seed, and a delicate, spiritual yellow sprout slowly unfurled from the crack.

Then, the spiritual yellow sprout emerged from the crack, completely opening up the outer shell of the entire yellow sprout seed, and the roots and shoots fully unfolded: on a straight little tender yellow stem, a tender yellow sprout shimmering with spiritual yellow light grew!

"The first yellow sprout...and only after the second and third yellow sprouts have grown can the yellow sprouts be considered mature!"

Of course, even these mature yellow buds fall into the category of "major medicinal herbs".
One must wait until the yellow sprouts are nearly mature, and until the true nature they contain has been nurtured to a certain degree, before entering the spiritual world to seek the infusion of the source of a special spiritual sanctuary.
Only then can the mature Huangya herb break through its constraints and enter the realm of "heavenly medicine"!
Then it is collected again and refined using the River-Crossing Chariot and the Civil and Martial Fire, followed by the cultivation process of Jade Elixir and Golden Elixir...

Then, another month quietly passed.

Zhao Yun continued his routine of "finishing his work at the medicine storehouse, then running the shop."

That afternoon, having just finished his shift at the Baoyao pharmacy, he went to open the shop door and soon sensed someone had come in.
Looking up, he saw Han Feiyu, the Foundation Establishment senior brother who had taken good care of him after he woke up!

Zhao Yun immediately stood up and warmly invited him into the house: "Senior Brother Han, please come in!"

"No need."

Han Feiyu's face was grave, and his voice was somewhat hoarse, "Junior Sister failed to establish her foundation. I fed her a Heart-Locking Pill. She wanted to see you one last time."

In an instant, Zhao Yun's brows furrowed slightly!
"When did she establish her foundation? Why didn't you tell me... Didn't I always tell her to slow down, to stabilize her foundation first, and then, after a hundred years, to seek the foundation-building methods of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the various realms, and then sublimate them into the Great Dao Foundation-building method? How could it be so sudden?"

"This matter requires your attention, as well as that of your genius Daoist partner from the Myriad Beasts lineage... and your junior sister Wang Tian's thoughts. You should know them well."

Han Feiyu's tone was somewhat complicated:

"But there's no use saying all this now. Are you going to see me or not?"

"Of course, Junior Sister also wants to meet your Daoist partner, Xin!"

After Zhao Yun immediately sent a message to Xin Ruyin, he first closed the shop, then went to the leather workshop where Xin Ruyin was located. Three streaks of light pierced the sky, leaving the Imperial Immortal City and entering the Five Elements Immortal Mountain, where the Qi Refining disciples of the Wanling lineage often stayed.

Finally, it landed on a familiar little peak.

Zhao Yun had indeed not returned here for some time, but his junior sister Wang Tian often went to the Immortal City to look for him.

Looking into the distance, he saw that many medicinal plants in the herb garden were still well cared for, and he sighed silently before stepping into the house.

Inside the room, Junior Sister Wang Tian's figure was like a fragile porcelain vase, supported entirely by a mysterious force.

That's how it didn't completely collapse. "Senior brother...you've come." Wang Tian's voice was weak and barely audible. "Junior sister is no longer destined to pursue the Great Dao with senior brother."

"Sigh, why the rush?"

Zhao Yun stepped forward and carefully examined the numerous cracks on Wang Tian's body.
Unfortunately, they were all Dao injuries!
Material transformation alone is no longer sufficient to repair the damage to the Tao between these fundamental correspondences.

Then, Zhao Yun asked, "Is your soul damaged, Junior Sister? I can perform a ritual to reshape a physical body for you!"

"The physical body is the soul, the manifestation of the origin..." Wang Tian shook her head.

"Furthermore, I failed in my pursuit of the Dao and was pierced through my origin by the myriad Daos. The only way is to abandon my physical body and enter the cycle of reincarnation with my true spirit... Only through the power of reincarnation can I repair some of the damage to my true spirit after many reincarnations."

"But... those who have not reached the Foundation Establishment stage cannot enjoy the blessings of reincarnation, and their true spirits will sink into ignorance!"

"After this reincarnation, I fear I will never have the chance to meet my senior brother again..."

"Senior brother, one last time... before I leave, could you hug me like you did when I first entered the sect?"

As Wang Tian finished speaking, her gaze turned to Xin Ruyin.

Xin Ruyin nodded to Zhao Yun, her face showing little emotion but a hint of understanding.

Zhao Yun stepped forward and gently embraced his junior sister Wang Tian, ​​who was as fragile as a porcelain vase.

My heart was filled with mixed feelings; it was a bitter taste.

He himself possessed the "Three-Life Flower Elixir," the "Returning Yang Pure Yin Soil," and the "Yellow Spring Water," all of which could keep his true spirit awake in reincarnation... but these remained in the divine spiritual realm of the future.

"Senior brothers, you don't need to be sad for me. The path of seeking the Dao is inherently unpredictable, with life and death uncertainties."

And... Sister Xin, you and your senior brother must always stay together and take good care of him...

Finally, you can all leave. I don't want you to see me in such a pathetic state... I want to be alone for a while.

Wang Tian's last words carried a hint of pleading.

But before Wang Tian could finish speaking, she shattered in Zhao Yun's arms, turning into a wisp of smoke that vanished without a trace, disappearing with the Dao.

Nothing was left behind...

However, in the next moment, Zhao Yun keenly noticed an extremely subtle, almost imperceptible wisp of light flowing out from the rosy glow.

As it landed in the void, it was guided away by a mysterious force that belonged to the cycle of reincarnation!

This power of reincarnation bears a slight resemblance to the 'Three-Life Flower' he had seen and the aura of 'Material Reincarnation' he had previously comprehended.

However, the reincarnation power that the former uses to guide the true spirit is tens of millions of times more powerful than the material reincarnation power that Zhao Yun comprehended!
"Alas~, on the long journey of life, old friends are always scattered like the wind."

Junior brother, take care of yourself!

Han Feiyu, who was standing to the side, watched this final scene, sighed, and turned to leave.

It's not that the Great Dao is heartless, but rather that seeing these things evokes painful memories, yet there's nothing one can do about it... (End of Chapter)
