Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 879 - 19 I Did It All for the Heavenly Craft Workshop

Nevertheless, he was well-prepared, knowing that he could not use “chance encounter” or “secret realm” as excuses, because Shi Liuli would definitely ask “What chance encounter or secret realm?”

So he replied:

“Liuli, do you remember the trip to the Shennongjia Secret Realm we took last time, where we obtained a bottle of elixir?”

“Oh.” Shi Liuli also remembered, after all, she had helped Luo Yan tally everything they obtained from the old dragon, “Wasn’t that thing said to be only consumable by the Dragon Clan?”

“Yes,” Luo Yan replied, “Liuli, have you ever heard of the ‘Nine Revolutions Vermilion Phoenix Pill’?”

“If I remember correctly, it should be a sort of ancient elixir refined with Phoenix True Blood,” Shi Liuli continued, “Taking it can enhance the Cultivation at the Refining Mansion rank.”

“Exactly,” Luo Yan said with a smile, “Since an elixir refined from Phoenix True Blood can be used by the Human Race, why can’t an elixir refined from Dragon Blood be used by the Human Race as well?”

“Because Phoenix blood is warm and soothing, while Dragon blood is fierce and eruptive,” Shi Liuli replied, “Vermilion Phoenix Pill can be digested slowly with one’s cultivation suppressing its potency; but when Dragon Blood Pill is ingested, it immediately starts to burn, making it hard to forcibly suppress its power, and it may even rebound against the body.”

“Correct,” Luo Yan nodded and continued, “But compared to the benefits one can reap from forcibly digesting the pill, I think the risk is worth taking.”

Shi Liuli listened in silence, but inside, a storm of shock was brewing.

Could it be that, for the sake of Heavenly Craft Workshop, her husband had risked taking that Dragon Blood Pill, all to enter the Nascent Soul Realm as quickly as possible?

Thinking of this, the grievances she had harbored toward Luo Yan for leaving her to manage all affairs of the Heavenly Craft Workshop on her own, now all disappeared without a trace, leaving only an unspeakable soreness and sadness.

Seeing that Shi Liuli remained silent, Luo Yan knew that his oratory had its effect and hurriedly added:

“When Master passed away, Heavenly Craft Workshop was without a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Your vulnerability and unease, my wife, I have seen it all. To take that Dragon Blood Pill was not so much a risk as it was a considered choice by your husband after deep deliberation.”

“But…” Shi Liuli sounded somewhat choked up, “You didn’t have to…”

“Now that your husband has advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, let’s not talk about those unpleasant things anymore,” Luo Yan held her tightly to prevent her from probing further, “From now on, we should focus on glorifying Heavenly Craft Workshop which Master left behind.”

After sharing a tender moment, Shi Liuli indeed did not continue her inquiries, but only said:

“Now that my husband has formed his Nascent Infant, I must also quickly improve my cultivation level, and not continue to hold you back.”

“I’ve been pondering for a while, and I think perhaps the immortal’s words were not necessarily incorrect, it might be us who have misunderstood.”

“Misunderstood?” Luo Yan asked with curiosity, “We have searched through every well, large and small, within the capital, how could there be a mistake?”

“The capital mentioned by the immortal may not necessarily be the one we are searching for now,” Shi Liuli reminded.

This statement struck Luo Yan like a thunderbolt, causing him to suddenly have an epiphany.

How old was the Wan Xiang Immortal? He must be at least ten thousand years old.

Over these ten thousand years, the mortal dynasties of the Divine Land Continent have changed time and again, and the capital may have been burnt to the ground and rebuilt numerous times.

Let alone the layout of the city, even the very location of the entire city might not be the same as it originally was.

The capital mentioned by the Wan Xiang Immortal is certainly not the current capital, but the one from an era in his memory… It would be strange if it coincided with the current capital.

“In other words, what we need to find is a well from an ancient capital from the past,” Luo Yan said with a sigh, “How long would we have to search to find that?”

“Let’s search the ruins around the capital city,” Shi Liuli suggested.

“That’s like looking for a needle in a haystack…” As Luo Yan was feeling troubled, he suddenly had an idea and immediately said, “That’s right, we can use the Godspeed Water Vein Talisman!”

Last time, within the Shennong Secret Realm, the two of them found a spent Godspeed Water Vein Talisman.

Although the talisman script was single-use and could no longer be used, Luo Yan cleverly scanned its pattern and then replicated it into a formation, which indeed teleported the two of them to a nearby enclosed water domain.

In other words, if they used the Godspeed Water Vein Formation here, they might be able to teleport directly into the Dragon Well… Of course, they could also end up in a local resident’s bathtub, a sewer, or even a cesspit.

Shi Liuli was silent for a moment, then asked:

“Should we use it?”

Luo Yan also thought of this possibility and said with a wry smile:

“Let’s forget about it.”

Although cultivators aren’t afraid of much, cesspits are something best avoided. After all, this isn’t some secret realm, but a large city of the Human Race, and who knows what kind of foul water bodies one might encounter.

So the two of them could only continue to fly around the capital. Shi Liuli cast several hexagrams again, leading Luo Yan to a certain desolate area nearby.

This place was probably the Mass Burial Mound. Wherever the Human Race had dense settlements, there were always impoverished people who died for various reasons, and who, not being able to afford a proper burial plot, were wrapped in straw mats and buried in hastily dug holes outside—places chosen by the poor for mass burials were called Mass Burial Mounds.

“It should be here.” Shi Liuli finally found a dried-up well and pointed down into it.

Luo Yan then brought his palms together and stimulated the Divine Light of the Five Elements, which poured endlessly downwards, swiftly digging a deep hole around the dried-up well.

The two exchanged a glance, then leapt up and rapidly descended into the depth of the well on Sword Light.

Before long, they fell into an underground cavern.

“The yin energy here is quite dense,” Luo Yan frowned and said, “I fear there is an Earth Vein of the Nine Serenities Underworld nearby, my lady, please be cautious.”
