"This 'Jade Spirit Pill' is used to treat injuries, and its effect is extremely good. As long as there's still a breath left, one can be saved."
Zhou Yan murmured to himself.
Immediately, he swallowed the Jade Spirit Pill.
At that moment, countless fine scales appeared on the surface of his body, enveloping him entirely.
Concurrently, a majestic surge of energy flowed from his limbs and bones.
Nourishing his internal organs and meridians.
Boom!
In just a few breaths, a fierce gust of wind swept out, transforming into a tiger phantom that coiled above his head.
Roar~
The fierce tiger roared, its voice shaking the heavens and unsettling the mind.
Soon, the tiger dissipated, transforming back into the jade-green bead.
However, Zhou Yan clearly felt that his strength had increased by at least twice.
Even the memories in his mind had increased considerably.
Among these memories were details about the "Imperial Dragon Soaring Technique."
And his cultivation direction, along with the secret manual on how to utilize his internal true essence to activate this martial skill.
"Alright, I have now initially mastered this 'Imperial Dragon Soaring Technique.' I believe I will soon reach the Great Accomplishment stage. By then, my combat power will undoubtedly skyrocket."
Zhou Yan's eyes sparkled with anticipation.
Afterward, he shifted his gaze to other items.
First was the storage ring.
The space within this storage ring was not large, approximately ten square meters.
Yet, it was priceless.
After all, storage artifacts of this spatial type were exceedingly rare.
Even in the cultivation world, they were uncommon and extremely expensive.
"Although this storage ring has not been claimed, it has already merged with my flesh and blood. Therefore, I can now directly drip blood to refine it, achieving perfect compatibility."
Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Following this, he raised his arm, slashed his finger, and blood flowed out, landing on the storage ring.
Sizzle!
As the blood seeped in, crimson patterns emerged, radiating an eerie luster, twisting like living creatures to form an arcane design.
Hum!
In an instant, the entire storage ring erupted with a brilliant radiance.
Subsequently, an exquisite jade pendant floated out from within, landing in Zhou Yan's hand.
"Hmm? Why has it shrunk..."
Zhou Yan's expression turned grim; he was somewhat displeased.
This jade pendant was still a storage ring at its core, but it had shrunk by half.
It now resembled an ordinary piece of mutton-fat jade.
"No wonder, when my father gave it to me, I felt something was off."
Zhou Yan frowned, "Did my father want me to collect all of them and then forge a spatial artifact?"
His eyes were fixed on the jade pendant in his hand.
Then, without hesitation, he stored the jade pendant in his own storage ring.
Next, he took out a piece of parchment.
He examined it carefully.
On the parchment was a map.
This map was, in fact, a topographical map of the entire Yun Province.
It clearly marked various mountains, rivers, and city buildings.
"Huh? What's this?"
Zhou Yan's gaze lingered on a place called 'Wanfu Town.'
This town was the closest to Wanmo Island.
Legend had it that the master of Wanmo Island once resided here.
Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile curling his lips as he murmured, "Since my father gave me this map, I should be able to find Wanmo Island and then go find my father, or perhaps, charge in and destroy Wanmo Island?"
In Zhou Yan's eyes, ardent flames flickered.
He could almost see himself leading a formidable army, conquering Wanmo Island, and seizing its treasures.
In that case, he would become the new Demon King!
At that time, the entire Immortal Realm would be under his dominion!
Moreover, his father would become his most loyal servant.
Such temptation was undoubtedly immense for any cultivator.
Therefore, he was eager to find Wanmo Island.
However, before that, he needed to find a safe place, otherwise, if he encountered other cultivators attempting to surround him, he would have no chance of escape.
As this thought arose, a figure emerged in his mind.
"Lin Han?"
"Heh, I was just wondering where to find you, and you've come right to my doorstep. Heaven truly favors me."
Zhou Yan grinned, revealing his chillingly white teeth.
The next moment, he flew towards the outskirts of Wanfu Town.
His speed was slow, taking a full three hours to reach the vicinity of Wanfu Town.
"I knew it, this Wanfu Town must have something wrong!"
A cold killing intent flickered in Zhou Yan's eyes.
Wanfu Town was situated in a valley near Wanfu Lake.
Moreover, the security in this area was very lax.
Zhou Yan somersaulted and leaped onto the eaves above the houses of Wanfu Town, easily penetrating layers of formations to reach the depths of the valley.
"Where is this?"
As he stepped into the valley, his expression suddenly turned surprised.
He saw a towering ancient castle standing before him.
On the castle were carved lifelike black dragons, their heads held high, claws extended, radiating majesty and power.
"My goodness, this Wanfu Island actually possesses such a grand and magnificent fortress. It's simply a miracle!"
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but exclaim.
He could also surmise.
It was likely that the island master of Wanfu Island had issued a bounty to find him.
Therefore, he dared not delay and quickly rushed towards the depths of the valley.
After a moment, he entered the depths of the manor.
Before him stood a massive iron gate, bearing the inscription 'Wanfu Hall.'
He gently pushed it open and walked inside.
Inside was a spacious palace, filled with all sorts of rare weapons and elixirs, as well as spirit stones, various cultivation techniques, and resources.
"Tsk tsk, this is truly excellent!"
Zhou Yan's eyes greedily swept across the surroundings, his face filled with a joyous smile.
He darted towards a shelf on the wall.
It was a painting.
In the painting, a naked man stood before a large bronze cauldron.
The flames within the bronze cauldron burned fiercely, emitting piercing noises.
Beside the bronze cauldron was a golden cauldron.
The golden cauldron continuously spewed out waves of scorching heat.
Zhou Yan extended a finger and lightly tapped it.
Thud!
A fist-sized sphere was directly shattered into powder.
"Haha, the grade of this golden cauldron is definitely beyond Earth-grade Upper Rank, reaching Heaven-grade Middle Rank. It truly lives up to Wanmo Island's heritage. It's indeed wealthy. This trip is a massive profit."
Zhou Yan excitedly rubbed his hands together.
