"And besides, I’ve realized that due to the natural limitations of the materials, the furnace they are using can only accommodate a limited number of exotic beasts. If we were to use our dicine King True Cauldron, we might be able to refine several tis the number of exotic beasts in a single process."
"At that ti, who knows what kind of monster we could create?"
"I'm afraid that even if I joined forces with Yushan, we might not be able to suppress it."
Liu San shook his head slightly. "It’s like a potent poison—highly effective, but with too many restrictions."
"If only we could master a thod to control Dao Integration combat power," Liu San suddenly sighed.
Xu Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression remaining unchanged. Instead, he followed the train of thought and mused, "Elder Liu makes a valid point. The Xuanhuang Realm is vast and full of mysteries—there might indeed exist a way to control Dao Integration cultivators."
"I'll investigate. If it truly works, then wouldn't our dicine King Sect be able to steadily produce a Dao Integration-level fighter at regular intervals?"
Hearing this, Liu San couldn't help but feel a surge of excitent.
"Although compared to the new Dao Integration, the combat power of these Fused Beasts would certainly be inferior, they are still at the Dao Integration level. If we have enough of them, even the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance would have to tread carefully around us, wouldn't they?"
"At that point, our dicine King Sect might even be able to openly return to the world?"
Xu Bai nodded in agreent. "It's not an impossible plan."
"By the way, Young Master, Elder Ruan is still in deep slumber within the dicine King True Cauldron. He has extensive knowledge of demonic beast bodies. Perhaps waking him up might help us find a feasible thod," Liu San suggested.
"..."
Suddenly, mories from Liu Yihang surfaced in his mind.
Ruan Tianxiao, one of the Dao Integration Elders of the dicine King Sect.
Unlike the other elders who primarily used spiritual plants in their alchemy, Ruan Tianxiao preferred to incorporate animals, demonic beasts, and even human body tissues into his concoctions.
Though undeniably effective, his thods were excessively bloody and brutal, bordering on the grotesque.
As a result, Ruan Tianxiao’s "at Pills" were never widely accepted.
He was also a reclusive figure, preferring solitude and keeping no close associates within the sect.
After pondering for a long ti, Xu Bai frowned and decided, "Elder Ruan has always been estranged from others. If he awakens and suddenly realizes that he has traveled thousands of years into the future, he may no longer have the desire to remain in our dicine King Sect."
Liu San couldn't refute this possibility. "That is indeed possible."
"However, Elder Ruan’s at Pill technique does have so unique rits. The Myriad Fusion Beast..."
Xu Bai seed to be weighing his options. "Let’s do this—once we officially acquire the Empire’s technology, we’ll decide based on the situation."
"If we can mass-produce Fused Beasts on our own, then there’s no rush to awaken Elder Ruan. But if we encounter any insurmountable difficulties, we can summon him at that ti."
In the end, Xu Bai made his decision.
Liu San nodded in agreent.
With that matter settled, Xu Bai needed to return to Tianliang Province, while Liu San would head back to dicine King Valley.
After they parted ways, Xu Bai watched Liu San disappear into the distance, deep in thought.
"Was that a test? Or just a coincidence?"
"Perhaps previous events made him suspicious. After all, even Dao Integration cultivators, despite being unable to resist the changes brought by the True Temptation Fruit due to the power of a Heavenly Sovereign, could still sense sothing was amiss with themselves."
"To be safe, I should leave Longevity Valley for now."
Li Fan had always acted swiftly and decisively.
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he did not hesitate. Leaving behind only a ssage stating that he had urgent matters to attend to, he quietly departed from dicine King Valley before Liu San returned.
"I should also consult the Five Elders Association to confirm the effects of this True Temptation Fruit."
A sharp glint flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.
He temporarily put away the Dissociation Disc and headed straight for Shou Feng’s residence.
At the sa ti, Xu Bai, who had returned to Tianliang Prefecture, secretly sought out the Garrison Institution cultivator and the Five Elders Association spy with whom he had previously made a deal.
This person's na was Liu Wenyu.
“Daoist Liu, I heard that you still haven’t generated your own Tianxuan Treasure Record?”
Xu Bai started the conversation with this question.
A hint of gloom flashed across Liu Wenyu’s face, but he did not say anything out of line. Instead, he spoke with implicit aning:
“Soon. Although many cultivators in the Immortal Alliance still have concerns about the existence of the Tianxuan Treasure Record and are unwilling to generate it…”
“But I heard that the official decision has already been made. Any mber within the system of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance must generate the treasure record within their body. For us Garrison Institution cultivators, we are required to be the first to fully comply. And this is only the first step.”
“I believe it won’t be long before the day cos when all cultivators under the heavens carry the treasure record.”
“Hmph, when that ti cos…”
A trace of unconcealable apprehension flashed through Liu Wenyu’s eyes.
“I don’t see an issue with it. This thing is indeed miraculous. With it, many troubles are avoided.” Xu Bai smiled slightly, indifferent to the matter.
“Hm? You’ve already generated one?” Liu Wenyu’s expression changed, and he was about to retreat.
But Xu Bai grabbed him.
The Endstone Plate suddenly appeared above them, emitting a dim white glow that enveloped both of them.
“Relax. The Tianxuan Treasure Record is nothing. Our Heaven-Suppressing Society doesn’t even regard it as a threat.” Xu Bai spoke with an air of arrogance, straightforwardly.
“Heaven-Suppressing Society? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Liu Wenyu’s face turned pale, and he quickly shook his head.
Breaking free from Xu Bai’s grasp, he attempted to flee.
However, upon hearing Xu Bai’s next words, he abruptly halted.
“I’ve made it this obvious, and you still don’t see it? As a spy of the Five Elders Association, your instincts are really dull.”
Xu Bai shook his head slightly. “I’ll be direct—our Heaven-Suppressing Society possesses a thod to block the Tianxuan Treasure Record’s surveillance.”
Though his tone was calm, Liu Wenyu’s ears rang as if he had just been struck by thunder.
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” He lost his composure on the spot. “We have been completely powerless against it…”
Liu Wenyu’s words ca to an abrupt stop. His face darkened. “You’re tricking ?”
Xu Bai chuckled lightly. “If I were lying, then I imagine it wouldn’t be long before the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance’s Garrison Institution cultivators arrive to execute us both on the spot.”
“Daoist Liu, why not wait and see? In any case, things have already co to this point, and even if you wanted to run, you wouldn’t be able to.”
Liu Wenyu’s expression shifted continuously. In the end, he withdrew his foot and collapsed into a chair inside the room, anxiously waiting.
Ti passed slowly, each second feeling like an eternity.
Yet, even after half a day, there was no movent outside.
Liu Wenyu beca increasingly doubtful. He raised his head to look at the Endstone Plate hovering above them, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“This thing… can really block the Tianxuan Treasure Record’s detection?” His face was full of shock.
“Heaven-Suppressing is not just an empty na.” Xu Bai said coolly.
