The trio suddenly remembered that they had completely forgotten about Xu Nianliang. So, they started looking for him all over the courtyard.

It wasn’t long before they found Xu Nianliang hugging a large rock in the back yard like an octopus, contentedly reveling in the moment.

Seeing this, Ao Cheng raised his hand without a second thought and slapped Xu Nianliang’s face, leaving a blushing palm print.

“Stop it, let me sleep a bit longer.” Xu Nianliang waved his hand, a somewhat lecherous smile appeared on his face.

This made everyone curious; what had he dreamt about to exhibit such lecherous behavior?

Ao Cheng rolled up his sleeves, a cold smile on his face. He was about to slap him again, but was stopped by Kong Yuhuai.

“This probably isn’t right?”

“What’s not right about it? Drunkards can only be awakened like this.” Ao Cheng said, and slapped him again.

A cry of pain resounded, and Xu Nianliang was slapped so hard he rolled over, clutching his face and holding back the urge to curse.

He then noticed three pairs of eyes fixated on him.

Instantly, Xu Nianliang shivered, “Your Highness, the Saint Child, I’m sorry, I…

I overslept because I drank too much!”

Jiang Xiaobai sighed and shook his head. Poor boy, he was looking pitiful.

After tidying up the courtyard, they sat down for some tea, chatted a bit, and before they knew it, it was noon.

After lunch, Ao Yan came to find them, stating that all the work here was done and that it was time to return.

Originally, the Third Elder wanted Jiang Xiaobai to cleanse his marrow and renew his bones, making it easier for him to cultivate in the future.

Although he knew that Jiang Xiaobai was an alchemist before, the Third Elder didn’t expect his alchemy skills to be so remarkable. With this in mind, coming here seemed unnecessary, so he dismissed it.

Before departing, Kong Yuhuai, with an unwilling expression, expressed his satisfaction with this newly made friend.

He then expressed that he would visit Dragon Valley whenever he had the chance, and invited Jiang Xiaobai to visit Five Lotus Mountain whenever he had the time, so they could exchange alchemy insights.

Jiang Xiaobai readily agreed to this.

They had arrived suddenly and were now leaving just as abruptly. The group

set Ott back to Dragon Valley.

Upon their return, Ao Cheng disappeared somewhere, while Ao Yan was busy cultivating. Only Jiang Xiaobai was left idling in the courtyard, drinking tea.

The trip was quite rewarding for him.

He had gained a friend who was the son of an alchemist power. As long as they stayed in touch, this friend would be a strong backup in times of crisis.

Besides, his relationship with Ao Cheng had also improved significantly.

Thinking about this, Jiang Xiaobai felt that his efforts over this period were not in vain, as he started to check the recent rewards from the system.

He vaguely remembered that when he was drinking last night, he seemed to have been given a choice.

Checking the system log, he indeed found the choice from the drinking session the night before. Among the three options, he chose to drink his opponent under the table and received one hundred thousand upper- grade spirit stones.

Then, Jiang Xiaobai began to sort out his rewards.

He had received one-tenth of the Old Lord’s Alchemy Technique, now he had twenty percent of the technique. He also received “Meandering Veins Record” and “Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill”.

During the extermination by the ancient tribe, he gained a fleeing technique. With the system’s help, Jiang Xiaobai’s means of preserving his life had significantly improved.

It’s worth mentioning that during the journey, he adopted Huseng. If he could cultivate a foundation within ten years, he would receive another one-tenth of the Old Lord’s Alchemy Technique.

Adding it all up, Jiang Xiaobai realized he was one step closer to obtaining the complete Old Lord’s Alchemy Technique!

He couldn’t help feeling a bit excited. If he could fully master the Old Master’s Alchemy, wouldn’t he take off right there and then?

Bringing out a Nine Turns Golden Pill as a support could attract untold strong allies!

However, this was only a passing thought for Jiang Xiaobai. The way this system works, he couldn’t guess when he would gather all the Old Master’s Alchemy.

For now, it should only remain as a dream.

After that, when it was time to randomly draw a Heavenly Spirit Treasure, he got a divine sword called Yuanhong, boosting his fighting power by a significant margin.

The Heavenly Spirit Treasures were utterly overwhelming supreme celestial artifacts. With one strike, they could cut iron as easily as mud. How could anyone fight back when their treasures were being sliced open by this sword?

In addition, the Earth Fiend 72 Changes was also a gem.

Then, when he went to the Five Lotus Mountain, he obtained a Strand of Merit. Even though it was only a strand, it was an incredibly precious item, as acquiring Merit was quite challenging!

To sum up, he currently had twenty percent of the Old Master’s Alchemy,

“Meandering Veins Record”, “Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill”, godly magic

tricks, Earth Fiend 72 Changes, a Heavenly Spirit Treasure, divine sword

Yuanhong, and a Strand of Merit.

And there was another tenth of the Old Master’s Alchemy that would take ten years to get.

That was basically it.

The harvest was anything but insignificant, especially that single Strands of Merit.

Jiang Xiaobai thought to himself and felt that he was now getting some tricks up his sleeve. This greatly increased his sense of security.

Next, he drew out the “Meandering Veins Record” and “Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill” from his storage space and began to browse. Only then did he realized that these two things are a perfect match!

“Meandering Veins Record” was an insightful book discussing earth veins, which is also a Heavenly Spirit Treasure.

As long as this object was used, he could find earth veins, regardless of their size or proficiency.

What were earth veins?

They were rich in spiritual energy, capable of producing spiritual stone veins in the surrounding area. He knew there was a high-quality vein beneath Dragon Valley. Otherwise, the spiritual energy within the valley wouldn’t be this abundant.

Upon further thought, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but smile. If he could locate a spiritual stone vein or even a vein of earth through “Meandering Veins

Record”, he would make a fortune!

Though he could make money by selling potions, this certainly wouldn’t be as profitable as earth veins!

If he found a vein, whether he developed it himself, used it as a trump card, or treated it as an asset, even if he handed it over to the Dragon Valley, it would still bring considerable profits!

Thinking about these, Jiang Xiaobai couldn’t help but feel excited. He discovered a pathway to wealth!

Sometimes, money might not be appealing to the strong, but when you have enough money, it would definitely be.

One might say that keeping jade invites disaster, and the strong might try to take your money. But if you have Dragon Valley as a backer, would there be such a circumstance?

For a moment, Jiang Xiaobai was breathing heavily. He felt like he had stumbled upon a treasure.

The seemingly insignificant “Meandering Veins Record” is actually the most useful thing at the moment. He already had Ao Yan’s token, enabling him to come and go freely in Dragon Valley.

Once his cultivation level reached a certain point, he would inevitably break through the final stage of Yuan Infant. Actually, his current cultivation level was almost enough. As long as he acted low-key and kept out of trouble, he figured he could make it.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt there was potential!

“Kunpeng Swallowing Sky Skill” was even more incredible.

This was a cultivation method. Upon reading it, Jiang Xiaobai realized that through this method, he could swallow everything. He could absorb all things containing spiritual energy for his cultivation!

Plus, doing so could speed up his cultivation considerably. This was much faster than meditation.

If we combine them with “Meandering Veins Record” to search for spiritual veins of heaven and earth, oh boy, this was like cheating..
