A month flew by in the blink of an eye.

Watching the first Wood Attribute Spirit Stone in his hand turn from verdant green to gray, finally losing its last bit of luster and turning into a handful of ash, Li Jizhou stood up.

"One month to achieve perfection in Qi Cultivation First Level!"

There was a flash of delight in his eyes.

It was 30% faster than he expected,

After all, he possessed a Wood Spirit Body, though not the ultimate form of a Wood Spirit Body, while the Ninth Prince’s Innate Myriad Thunder Spirit Body was the ultimate form of a Thunder Element Abnormal Spirit Body, significantly enhancing the Qi Cultivation Stage.

The Ninth Prince reached Qi Cultivation Sixth Level in half a year, and Li Jizhou initially thought that under his circumstances, it would take at least a month and a half to perfect Qi Cultivation First Level.

"The Seventh Grade Cyan Lotus provided no benefit, and the Bodhi Fruit had little effect on cultivating magical power; the main factors were still the Open Source Pill and Wood Element Spirit Stones."

Li Jizhou pondered for a moment, having a clear grasp of the situation.

Of course, the wonders of the Cyan Emperor Creation Skill were fully displayed during this month.

No matter how much Spiritual Qi there was, it could devour it entirely, utilizing the meridians and dantian to the fullest extent.

At this moment, Li Jizhou also became more enlightened about the differences between the Evergreen Skill and the Cyan Emperor Creation Skill.

It was like two armies clashing: the Evergreen Skill excelled at achieving a comeback with minimal forces, turning the few to defeat the many.

On the other hand, the Cyan Emperor Creation Skill was like Han Xin commanding troops, aiming to crush with superior numbers, the more the better.

"A Tier Five Spirit Vein Land, Wood Element Spirit Stone... I wonder where its limit lies?" Li Jizhou thought excitedly, already pondering what divine objects could further accelerate his cultivation speed.

However, he was particularly amazed by the cultivation effects of Wood Element Spirit Stones.

The Spiritual Qi of the heavens and earth is a mix of the five elements, and for cultivators, only a portion can truly become the main attribute of their spirit veins.

Moreover, the attributes of each Spirit Vein Land result in different elemental content of the Spiritual Qi.

Yet, Wood Element Spirit Stones were very pure, with the Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi contained within them capable of directly entering the dantian upon refinement, saving the effort of diversion and refinement, naturally enhancing cultivation speed.

And most importantly, it not only speeds up cultivation; due to its pure Wood Attribute Spiritual Qi, the cultivated Cyan Emperor’s Magical Power becomes robust and pure, holding greater might.

Thinking it over, before Core Formation, the Cyan Emperor Creation Skill mainly requires pure Spiritual Qi.

"Wood Attribute Spirit Stone..." Li Jizhou had high expectations.

In the Central State Empire, the Saint Emperor dominates the country, absolutely seen as someone who shields the sky single-handedly. However, even a slightly less incompetent Saint Emperor places great emphasis on the nation’s financial system.

Plus, many royal offspring in the Central State disdain insufficient spirit veins, thus cultivating with mountains of Spirit Stones.

Therefore, the Spirit Stone system in the Central State is more stable and has stronger purchasing power.

Especially because the state is unified under the saint emperor, leading to greater circulation of high-tier resources, making Spirit Stones significantly important.

And Wood Attribute Spirit Stones are essentially Top-Grade Spirit Stones, but if purchased with ordinary Five Elements Spirit Stones, you need a hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones, which requires exchanging for ten thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, or a million Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

In a past life, Li Jizhou, at his wealthiest, had tens of thousands of Middle Grade Spirit Stones at most, enough to buy only a dozen Wood Attribute Spirit Stones.

In this life, however, having just been conferred the title of Prince Qing, he’d only received the standard royal stipend, a hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones a month, to maintain the entire Seven Kings’ Palace for the dozens of servants, maids, and all their expenses.

If not for Consort Zhen consistently providing valuable items, Li Jizhou’s previous life would have been less lavish.

Let alone accumulating any Spirit Stones at all.

Now being conferred as Prince Qing, his stipend increased slightly, but only to two hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones, making the idea of relying on his salary to buy Wood Attribute Spirit Stones a fool’s dream.

Moreover, the Jiuli Dynasty’s ancestral decree forbidding royals from engaging in business made Li Jizhou abandon a potentially lucrative path.

But then again, no business could make as much as becoming the Saint Emperor and unifying the country.

"Master, the situation in the Eastern Desolation that you asked to investigate a month ago has results!" At this moment, Cyan Dome flickered and appeared before Li Jizhou.

Even after a month’s time, Li Jizhou instinctively fixed his gaze on Cyan Dome’s delicate nose.

If not for this nose, Cyan Dome’s appearance could have been that of a cold and stunning beauty; unfortunately, the canine-like pink nose made her entire face very disharmonious, not only ruining her icy demeanor but also not matching her expressions.

"Cyan Dome, you might consider my suggestion. That way, you’d appear more harmonious overall, and it might add an invisible allure." Li Jizhou advised sincerely.

Cyan Dome slightly furrowed her brows. Since being crowned, she sensed that Li Jizhou had changed.

His disposition became more laid-back, no longer seeming to harbor deeply entrenched hatred.

Most notably, he actually began to pay attention to her appearance.

"Your good intentions are acknowledged, young master!" Cyan Dome responded with cold indifference.

The four women had been raised by the Jin family from a young age, but each had experienced different adversities before being taken into service. They were bound to Li Jizhou by a Divine Soul Contract, loyal in their duty to protect their master, yet the grudges in their hearts remained unforgettable, with an ever-present wish to return to Nanling for revenge.

Especially Cyan Dome, who was the least able to let go among the four.

By comparison, the other three were notably better.

Seeing Cyan Dome remain unchanged, Li Jizhou no longer addressed her, taking the Jade Talisman she handed over.

He delved his Spiritual Sense inside, where the information was clear to see.

"Fifteen years ago, the top five powers of the Eastern Desolation gathered in the Yan Kingdom... a new generation prodigy from the Shangguan family perished, soul extinguished... the Quasi-Immortal Artifact Guanghan Seal appeared, pursued by the four major powers... A cultivator without background, Li Jizhou..."

Carefully reviewing the information collected by Cyan Dome, Li Jizhou maintained a composed expression, reading while reminiscing.

"Just after dying, I was reincarnated... the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror is indeed wondrous!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

The final scene from fifteen years ago was still vivid in his mind.

Shangguan Qingming’s anger and suspicion.

The shock and pity from Yu Ziyu, Ye Jingyu, and their group.

The greed and awe as grandmasters from the Taihao Sacred Land, the Wang family, the Jiang family, and Barbaric Prison Sacred Land pursued the fleeing Guanghan Seal.

"Fifteen years and they still haven’t captured the Guanghan Seal!" Upon seeing this part, Li Jizhou couldn’t help but be stunned.

Fifteen years ago, as the Guanghan Seal flew away from his hands, he thought for sure it would be seized by those grandmasters.

But it hasn’t been seized by anyone to this day, and even three of the nine dynasties have sent strong teams to search for it, with the Cangming Dynasty being the most aggressive.

Moreover, it seems it has once again hidden beneath the marshy earth veins.

This led Li Jizhou to suspect that the Guanghan Seal might have returned to the underground relics of the Moon Worship Dynasty from back then?

At this thought, Li Jizhou felt a sense of excitement and anticipation.

After all, he might be the only one who still knows about the Moon Worship Dynasty’s underground relics today.

After confirming the timeline between his past and present lives, and by chance having the possibility to seize the Quasi-Immortal Artifact he had a connection with for several years in his past life, Li Jizhou felt very satisfied.

Just then, a hint of crimson flashed across the sky.

This was Li Jizhou’s second semi-demon maid, a stark contrast to Cyan Dome.

She was sent to secretly investigate Long Zhenxiao’s actions from a month ago.

Based on the situation, it seemed results were in.

"Hong Luan! Well done!"
