On this day, Lin Yan was cultivating within his dream when the entire dream realm suddenly trembled. It rapidly expanded, growing several tis larger, reaching an area of tens of thousands of acres.
He was instantly overjoyed. Exiting the dream, he inspected his aperture. Above the silver prival sea, the Dream Derivation Gu emitted a brilliant aura, shimring with seven-colored light. Its body had grown another segnt, becoming a three-sectioned silkworm, crystal clear, and it had advanced to Rank 3.
"My vital Dream Derivation Gu has finally improved again… let's see what new changes it has gained."
The tension in Lin Yan's heart eased. He activated Dream Derivation Gu and quickly discovered that, aside from the expansion in scale, the dream realm could now simulate dao marks.
The reason the real world existed was because everything—mountains, rivers, and seas—was essentially ford from dao marks.
Previously, at Rank 2, the dream realm could simulate scenes and project opponents, but everything still had a faint sense of illusion. It could not reproduce deeper details such as internal structures, flesh and blood, or the workings of apertures and prival seas.
Now, at Rank 3, even these could be simulated within the dream realm.
"This ans that no matter which path I study, it will beco far easier." Lin Yan raised an eyebrow as he thought. "Those who research the human body often resort to cruel thods. If they had a dream realm like this, they wouldn't need to rely on such extres."
At the sa ti, the dream realm's ti flow had increased once more, now reaching a ratio of twenty to one.
Lin Yan soon ended his seclusion. There was no need to delay any longer—it was ti to refine Gu.
As he stepped out of the courtyard, one of the elderly Gu Masters who was tending to flowers looked at him in surprise. "You're coming out now?"
Lin Yan smiled faintly. "I'm going to purchase so materials, feed my Gu, and refine them along the way."
"Oh? So you're finally starting refinent." The old Gu Master chuckled softly. "By the ti you co out again, even a Rank 4 Family Elder might not be your match."
Over the past two months, these elders had already been shaken by Lin Yan's terrifying rate of progress. Their impression of him had completely changed, and they now regarded him as one of the Huang Family's future pillars.
To a certain extent, with their support, Lin Yan could already be considered as having ford his own small faction.
After politely bidding farewell to the elders, Lin Yan headed toward the largest Gu material market within the oasis city by Fla Lake. The place was bustling, with a wide variety of goods and abundant supply.
His Fla Path Gu were not rare, so he quickly gathered all the necessary materials for refinent, spending around two thousand prival stones—enough to support three full rounds of refinent for all his Gu.
But that was not all. Lin Yan also needed to acquire Liquor Worm. The Rank 3 Seven Fragrance Liquor Worm could refine silver prival essence, making it extrely beneficial for cultivation. To refine it, one needed two Rank 2 Four Flavor Liquor Worm along with seven types of spices, making it an essential Gu for his developnt.
At present, he only possessed one Four Flavor Liquor Worm and still needed to purchase two Rank 1 Liquor Worm to proceed with the refinent.
Speaking of which, Lin Yan had used Liquor Worm at both Rank 1 and Rank 2. However, because of Relic Gu, its effect had mostly been limited to breaking through small realm before becoming ineffective, failing to fully display its value.
But at Rank 3, it would likely remain useful for a long ti. Over the past two months, despite his diligent cultivation, the silver light mbrane within his aperture had only developed a small crack. He was still far from advancing to the middle stage.
In the original tiline, after Fang Yuan left Qing Mao Mountain and entered Shang Clan City, even with A-grade aptitude and the assistance of Flesh and Blood Reunion Gu—drawing on the prival essence of an external Rank 3 peak expert—it still took him two full years to progress from early Rank 3 to Upper Rank 3.
Only after refining a White Silver Relic Gu did he reach the peak of Rank 3.
Lin Yan, however, only had B-grade aptitude and lacked Flesh and Blood Reunion Gu. Even with the help of Seven Fragrance Liquor Worm, it would likely take him around five years to reach the Upper stage.
"Aptitude…" He thought of the three opportunities he had to select from the Family's secret vault. If he was fortunate, he might find a Gu that could improve his aptitude. After all, he was only two percentage away from A-grade.
If that still proved insufficient, Lin Yan had a backup plan. He would delve into Human Path, studying the structure of the human body, and use the dream realm to simulate and develop thods to improve aptitude.
Afterward, Lin Yan easily purchased two Liquor Worm, spending one thousand prival stones.
During this ti, he noticed many Rank 2 Gu Masters arriving at Fla Island to trade for materials. However, most of them were injured.
They sighed as they spoke among themselves.
"The beast tide is definitely coming. Many pregnant earth bears will give birth in a few months. They'll need a huge amount of food, and they'll inevitably attack the oasis."
"There's nothing we can do. Water is the most precious resource in the Western Desert, and it only exists in oases. Since humans occupy them, it's only natural that waves of wild beasts will be drawn in."
