At the same time, a silver light flashed from the Flash Cloud Boots on Yang Che's feet, activating his 'Teleportation' Divine Ability.

In an instant, Wu Chan only felt a surge of fear.

In his haste, he directly threw out a defensive spiritual talisman, and then furiously activated a 'Water Escape Talisman'.

The moment the light flared, Yang Che, though moving later, arrived first, and Sword Four was swung down in a slash.

With a 'chi' sound.

Amidst the spurting blood, one of Wu Chan's arms flew far away.

At the same time, Wu Chan's figure completely vanished amidst a flash of water-blue light.

Yang Che's expression was grim.

He cast a fireball to turn Wu Chan's severed arm into ash, then looked back at Ancient Blood Corpse Mie, who had just managed to catch up, and a very displeased expression appeared on his face.

Mie trembled all over, and a deep look of fear appeared in his eyes.

After a brief moment of contemplation, he still put Ancient Blood Corpse Mie into the Magic Stone Space.

This Ancient Blood Corpse Mie was Spirit Rank and should have strength comparable to a Nascent Soul, but Yang Che could now confirm that his control over this Ancient Blood Corpse was far from reaching that level of strength.

Perhaps it was because he was not Mie's true Reincarnation master?

Yang Che's eyes narrowed, and he immediately began searching for Wu Chan, but was surprised to find that the person seemed to have vanished.

After thinking for a moment, he released the Treasure Seeking Sable, Nie Yun Sable, to continue searching for purple fu jade ore.

Time flew by rapidly.

There was only one month left until the one-year period of the Boundary Battlefield ended.

During this period, Yang Che almost became a 'God of Slaughter'; countless Cultivators who wanted to team up and ambush him were buried in this Boundary Battlefield.

His 'fierce reputation' quickly spread throughout the entire Boundary Battlefield.

Even Xu Haijing, upon hearing of it, couldn't help but feel a chill and a hint of fear in his heart.

This also caused dissatisfaction among the other five 'commanders' of the Mist Hidden Realm.

However, with only one month left, the Cultivators of the Mist Hidden Realm and the Seven Alliance Realm had almost completely torn off their facades, engaging in a desperate and crazy assault around Starfall Mountain.

In this final month, the more one side killed Cultivators from the other, the more likely they were to obtain more full pattern star stones.

As the attacks grew increasingly brutal and bloody, eventually all Cultivators on both sides reluctantly handed over their 'full pattern star stones' to the strongest commander of their respective sides.

This also made those Cultivators who had originally obtained a great many full pattern star stones very dissatisfied.

If these star rune stones had remained in their hands, once they left this Boundary Battlefield, personally handing them over to the Xuanwu Realm envoy, they might have received some benefits, big or small.

Now that all the full pattern star stones had been handed over, these Cultivators had fought tooth and nail, only to end up with potentially nothing.

The commanders of both sides also sensed the dissatisfaction of their Cultivators.

So, after discussion, they immediately promised that if they won the five-hundred-year mining rights to the two spiritual crystal veins, they would certainly request 'rewards for merit' from the higher-ups after leaving, distributing some of the precious 'spiritual crystals' or Spirit Stones they mined to them.

This only slightly appeased the dissatisfaction within their respective camps.

Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.

Yang Che was sitting cross-legged under the Spirit Eye Tree, meditating to recover.

This trip to the Boundary Battlefield, having killed too many Cultivators, also caused some changes in his temperament.

At first glance, he seemed ordinary, but upon closer inspection, he was unfathomable, and at the same time, evoked a chill in one's heart.

After recovering for a while, Yang Che walked into one of the Stone Caves filled with purple fu jade ore, continuing to refine 'purple fu jade'.

With the Heaven and Earth Chaos Art and Nine Heart Thunder Flame, refining 'purple fu jade' was not an issue for Yang Che at all.

It was just that, perhaps due to insufficient cultivation, the refining speed was limited, causing Yang Che to become exhausted every once in a while, only able to meditate and recover.

What was miraculous was that Nine Heart Thunder Flame showed no signs of fatigue whatsoever.

This made Yang Che marvel.

When he once again felt exhausted, Yang Che walked out of the Stone Cave to meditate and recover under the Spirit Eye Tree, and saw Tianxie Ziyin slowly walking over as well.

"Yang Che, regarding your desire to become an Array Symbol Master, this King has carefully considered it. Since you have such firm conviction, then after you form your Golden Core, this King will begin to teach you."

Tianxie Ziyin's voice was still cold, but compared to before, it seemed to carry a hint of something unidentifiable.

Upon hearing this, Yang Che's heart swelled with joy.

The worries of many days finally dissipated completely, but before he could say anything, Tianxie Ziyin continued:

"However, this King is not a true Array Symbol Master; I can only do my best to teach you Formations and the rudimentary Dao of talisman making. Whether you can continue on this path will depend on yourself."

Yang Che stood up with a joyful expression, his inner excitement somewhat uncontrollable, and took several steps forward, almost touching Tianxie Ziyin: "Zi Yin, that's wonderful! Thank you."

Feeling a strong masculine aura approaching, Tianxie Ziyin couldn't help but frown and said coldly:

"Are you standing a bit too close? This King warns you, you are merely a bug, at most a valuable bug. Do not get carried away. Otherwise, if you truly provoke this King one day, this King, in a fit of pique, will kill you."

Yang Che was startled, then quickly retreated a few steps.

However, he chose to ignore Tianxie Ziyin's threat and quickly said with a solemn expression: "The Core Formation method that Old Ancestor Old Man told me about, do you think it's feasible?"

Tianxie Ziyin nodded.

Yang Che, however, said somewhat vexed: "I've never even heard of purple sky fungus, essence stabilizing fruit, and essence, which are needed to refine the 'Essence Stabilizing Pill'. According to Old Man, even if I gather these Materials, the chance of failure in refining the Essence Stabilizing Pill is still very high. It's truly a headache."

Tianxie Ziyin, however, said: "The Essence Stabilizing Pill is indeed difficult to refine. But the method that Peak Master Zhang told you is already the easiest way for you to form a Core. Other methods would only be more difficult."

After a slight pause, a hint of playful oddity appeared on her almost perfectly flawless face: "You don't need to look for the 'essence' among them at all. It's far away in the sky, yet close at hand."

"What? Close at hand?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Che was greatly surprised, and his face showed an expression of disbelief and confusion.

Tianxie Ziyin walked to the Spirit Eye Tree, which had become increasingly lush, and pointed at the Spirit Eye Tree with her sculpted, fair jade hand, saying: "The essence is the essence spirit liquid condensed from the root of the Spirit Eye Tree."

Yang Che was stunned upon hearing this; it truly was a coincidence that was hard to explain.

At the same time, Yang Che's horizons were once again broadened.

Although the Alchemy Notes he obtained in that Stone Cave contained records of the Spirit Eye Tree, there was no mention of 'essence' whatsoever.

The knowledge in the Alchemy Notes had long since become insufficient; Yang Che had already deeply felt this.

With excitement, Yang Che immediately swept his Divine Sense over the root of the Spirit Eye Tree, but then asked in confusion: "This... there's no liquid at all?"

"The root of the Spirit Eye Tree will only produce a very small amount of 'essence' approximately every two hundred years. According to this King's judgment, your Spirit Eye Tree, because it has always grown on Spiritual Soil, and this Spiritual Soil has now reached Profound Rank, should produce essence in about ten years."

"So that's how it is. In ten years, I must make thorough preparations for Core Formation."

He secretly clenched his fist, then Yang Che suddenly asked: "Zi Yin, have you ever heard of purple sky fungus and essence stabilizing fruit?"

Tianxie Ziyin shook her head: "There are indeed too many rare treasures and unique items in this world. But most Cultivators with profound cultivation levels secretly enjoy these rare items themselves and would never let others know. This King has heard a little about the Essence Stabilizing Pill, but I have never heard of purple sky fungus and essence stabilizing fruit."

Yang Che's eyes dimmed, but quickly became resolute again.

Tianxie Ziyin continued: "Don't be discouraged. After we leave this Boundary Battlefield, we will go to the Xuanwu Realm.

A fifth-grade Cultivation World, though only one grade higher than a fourth-grade Cultivation World, has access to cultivation resources far beyond what a fourth-grade realm can compare to. There, I presume there will be news of these two Spirit Medicines."
