The unexpected and bizarre scene before him caused Yang Che's eyes to gradually darken.

Yang Che had seen similar methods once before, and the memory was incredibly profound.

It was on the Boundary Battlefield between the Mist Hidden Realm and the Seven Alliance Realm.

At that time, he was about to kill the young junior of the Yuwen Family who claimed to be a descendant of the Heavenly Ghost Royal Family.

The young man crushed a strange spiritual talisman in his hand, and then a phantom figure of an old man, about the height of a palm, appeared between his eyebrows.

Yang Che still clearly remembered that the figure was named Yuwen Yang.

Because the moment he left the Boundary Battlefield later, he was almost killed on the spot by this Yuwen Yang.

It was also because of Yuwen Yang that Yang Che was forced to re-enter the Boundary Battlefield, and then was teleported from the Ancient Teleportation Array in the Boundary Battlefield to this Ancient Remnant Sand Sea.

And now, he actually encountered such a thing again, seemingly having provoked another extraordinary Cultivation Family, the Wan Family.

Yang Che let out a few helpless bitter laughs.

He wondered if it was his destiny, or if he wasn't being low-key and careful enough?

At this moment, a blurry flash of light suddenly streaked across Yang Che's mind.

At this moment, he seemed to grasp a hint of complex Karma.

A very peculiar and miraculous feeling.

This feeling came quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

In just a flash, he seemed to have lost hold of that feeling.

After a period of effort, Yang Che confirmed that the miraculous feeling had indeed completely vanished.

Only then did he reluctantly shift his gaze back to the Storage Pouch he had thrown out.

After picking up the Storage Pouch again and taking out the items inside, Yang Che suddenly froze.

First, a look of immense surprise appeared on his face, and then it gradually changed into a strange expression combining both pleasant surprise and confusion.

Because in this Storage Pouch, there was also one of those gray stone fragments!

This stone fragment was roughly the same size as the one obtained from Xiao Qian and her brother.

Yang Che immediately took out the other two stone fragments as well.

Then, he placed the three stone fragments together.

All of them were incomplete at the top and bottom, but neat on both sides.

So Yang Che arranged the three stone fragments by aligning their incomplete top and bottom edges.

Coincidentally, one side of these two smaller stone fragments could perfectly fit together.

However, the larger fragment that Yang Che had dug out from the ruins could not be pieced together with either of the two.

He continued to study it for a good while.

Yang Che still couldn't figure out how many such stone fragments there were.

After all, if this was originally part of a complete stone wall or stele, it would be truly impossible to determine how many pieces it broke into after cracking.

Yang Che gathered the three stone fragments and frowned, deep in thought.

The middle-aged noblewoman's words before the black smoke disappeared had chilled Yang Che to the bone.

He truly hadn't expected that his Mutated Dual Immortal Roots would one day be exposed in such a manner.

But fortunately, Yang Che, adhering to his usual cautious nature, had opened the Storage Pouch after entering the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space.

Therefore, he was certain that even if his Mutated Dual Immortal Roots were exposed, that middle-aged noblewoman would absolutely not be able to find out who he was or where he was.

However, after this incident, Yang Che became even more determined that he must never again gather in crowds.

Diligently Cultivating and improving his Cultivation and strength were truly the most important matters.

After tallying his gains, Yang Che rested briefly, then walked into the Tongyou Medicine Garden and began diligently managing this increasingly large Spirit Medicine garden.

Especially the Spirit Medicine for refining Protect Yuan Pill, which was about to mature. Yang Che planned to stay in this Void Illusion Magic Stone Space until all the Spirit Medicine needed for refining Protect Yuan Pill matured.

Not long ago, he received a message from Senior Apprentice-Sister Shentu, saying that she was preparing to enter seclusion soon to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Yang Che was naturally happy for his Senior Sister.

If Senior Sister could enter the Nascent Soul Stage as a Talisman Grandmaster, even Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators would show her respect.

He naturally wanted to help his Senior Sister.

However, after much thought, he realized he didn't have anything presentable.

Instead, if he could refine this Ancient Medicinal Pill, Protect Yuan Pill, it might be a good help for his Senior Sister.

The efficacy of Protect Yuan Pill, in addition to restoring and treating internal and external injuries, also has a certain protective and restorative effect on the Primordial Spirit.

So this Medicinal Pill would definitely be of great benefit to his Senior Sister.

Next, in order to maximize the success rate when refining Protect Yuan Pill, Yang Che held the Qing Yuan Dan Record and continued to eagerly study Qing Yuanzi's Alchemy insights.

More than half a month later.

All the Spirit Medicine for refining Protect Yuan Pill matured.

After some preparations, Yang Che quickly harvested these Spirit Medicine, entered the Alchemy room, and began to wholeheartedly refine Protect Yuan Pill.

This refining process took another month or so.

When Yang Che, looking a little tired, walked out of the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space, he found a sound transmission talisman left by Senior Apprentice-Sister Shentu outside his room.

After checking with his Divine Sense, Yang Che quickly rushed to his Senior Sister's residence.

"Senior Sister."

Yang Che bowed respectfully.

"No need for formalities, Junior Brother."

When Shentu Yun saw Yang Che arrive, she immediately threw him a Jade Slip and said with a gentle smile:

"Junior Brother, I am about to enter seclusion to attempt to form my Nascent Soul. This seclusion period will likely not be short.

So I have inscribed almost all of my talisman-making insights into this Jade Slip. You should study it well during this time, and if you have any questions, you can ask me when I come out of seclusion."

Yang Che nodded, and a wave of warmth welled up in his heart again.

Putting away this incredibly precious Jade Slip, Yang Che immediately took out four or five small Jade Bottles and placed them on the table next to Senior Apprentice-Sister Shentu.

"Junior Brother, what is this?"

Shentu Yun asked with a puzzled expression while picking up one of the small Jade Bottles and opening it to sniff. Her face immediately showed an unbelievable look: "Junior Brother, could this also be something you refined?"

Yang Che nodded and said, "Senior Sister, this is Protect Yuan Pill. It's not only useful for internal and external injuries, but it also has a certain protective and restorative effect on the Primordial Spirit. Please keep it for emergencies."

Upon hearing Yang Che's words, Shentu Yun immediately understood the preciousness of this Medicinal Pill.

However, she was about to enter seclusion to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul, so such a Medicinal Pill became even more invaluable.

"Then Senior Sister will gratefully accept."

Shentu Yun smiled charmingly and quickly put the small Jade Bottles into her Storage Pouch.

They chatted for a while longer, mostly with Senior Sister giving him 'admonitions'.

Afterward, Shentu Yun began her seclusion, while Yang Che planned to quietly return to Zi Tian City.

Having not seen Tianxie Ziyin for some days, Yang Che actually missed her quite a bit.

So, choosing a dark night, Yang Che cast his Stealth Technique and Divine Concealment Art, left the ancient house, and quietly flew towards the Teleportation Array located in the Yuan Mountain Range.

Through this hidden Teleportation Array, Yang Che quickly appeared in the desolate and harsh desert.

This time, with the mysterious Ancient Treasure black cloak, and Yang Che no longer being stingy with his magic power, his speed was many times faster than when he came.

In just a few days, he had already appeared several hundred miles outside Zi Tian City.

As Yang Che was preparing to make a direct instantaneous transfer to the Intercontinental Great Array outside Zi Tian Oasis, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura appear within the range of his Divine Sense.

Yang Che's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but think, "Sha Jin?"
