Jiang Ming looked at his inventory. That's pretty bountiful.

She felt a bit uncomfortable so she called the Human Path Note to check on her Junior Sister. He found not much change. He scratched his head as he muttered to himself, “Am I too worried? He was at Stage 9 of the Golden Core Realm and had mastered many powerful spells. No one, not even a First Seat disciple, could hurt him. Moreover, he could easily kill a Purple House cultivator and escape from an ordinary Dao Seed cultivator. Why am I still worried? I feel like his father.”.

Moreover, Jiang Ming was also worried about the Yinmo Sect and the Bishui Sect. He had a strong feeling that trouble was imminent. Moreover, his cultivation base was only at the Dao Seed Realm. This meant that he could only hold back against Primal Spirit cultivators at most; he could neither kill nor defeat them at all. It makes him feel very insecure.

After a while, he cleared his mind of unwanted thoughts and muttered, “I have to cultivate now.”

Now that he had many Brightening Tea Leaves and Brightening Stones, coupled with the Earth Spiritual Fruit and Heaven Spiritual Fruit he had consumed, his cultivation would progress smoothly.

Jiang Ming took out a teapot from his storage ring. With a wave of his hand, he took out a stream of water from the spiritual spring and moved it to the teapot. Next, he placed the Brightening Tea Leaf into the pot and began to heat the pot with his hands. In just a few moments, the water was already boiling. When he finally finished, he poured the tea into a teacup and blew it before he took a sip.

After which, he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. As his mind fused with nature, he was able to keenly sense the wonders of nature, the principles of creation and reincarnation, and the various rhythms of the Dao.

Every time he comprehended a new Sambodha, he would form a new Dao Seed. He will continue to understand the Sambodha in order to grow the seed. If he only had one Dao Seed, he would have long been able to break through the Nascent Soul Realm with the mana he had gathered.

…

Next day.

After Jiang Ming stopped cultivating, he took out water, swept the courtyard, and made breakfast. The breakfast alone reminded him of his junior sister's absence. Hence, he summoned the Human Path Note again to examine it. He also looked at the courtyard of Yue Cheng and Momo, but to his disappointment, there was no change either.

After breakfast, he went to the back of the mountain and thought of what else he could do with the farmland. As he walked to the back of the mountain, he summoned the Human Path Note again.

Moments later, when he reached the edge of the lake, he took out a fishing rod before he sat down. Similar to before, he felt compelled to summon the Human Path Note.

By midday, he had already called Human Path Records five times.

Jiang Ming smiled wryly. “Why am I so worried?”

As Jiang Ming walked up to the roof, he thought firmly, ‘From now on, I will inspect it once, no, at most twice a day. I will check it once in the morning and once in the evening. ”

After which, he sat in the pavilion with his legs crossed and started cultivating.

…

The days continued to pass, and the mountains remained calm.

Jiang Ming used two to three Leaves of Brightening Tea every day. As a result, the Dao Seed in his sea of consciousness continued to grow rapidly. At the same time, he spent time mastering his special abilities as well. Although his cultivation base remained the same, his combat strength had grown stronger.

…

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

In the evening.

Next to the lake.

Jiang Ming was fishing silently at this moment. This remained a part of his routine other than cultivating.

Due to his unique cultivation method, it was easy for him to understand Sambodha. To understand the other Sambodha, he needed time for the transition process. Daily brute-duty and manual labor was the best way for him to increase his cultivation speed.

At this moment, Jiang Ming's eyes lit up as his fishing rod sank slightly.

[Dig! Congratulations on the capture of the 200-year-old Black Dragon Loach! Reward: Special ability, Great Manifestation Technique!]

Jiang Ming was stunned when he heard the system notification. He knows about the Black Dragon Loach. As it carried a number of traces of the dragon bloodline, it could evolve into a dragon once its cultivation base reached a certain stage. The 200-year-old Black Dragon Loach possessed such powerful internal strength that it was equivalent to being in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Based on Jiang Ming's speculation, the Black Dragon Loach must have wandered the mountain river that was heading to the lake because it did not know how to cultivate demonic energy.

Now that the spiritual energy at Chuyang Peak had surged, it was only natural that the lake here was also dense with spiritual energy. As a result, it attracted the Black Dragon Loach.

‘I will let him live for now, and boil it for Junior Sister when he returns.’ Jiang Ming thought to himself as he returned the Black Dragon Loach to the lake.

The Black Dragon Loach swam away quickly, disappearing from sight in just an instant.

After which, Jiang Ming looked at the special ability, the Great Manifestation Technique, which he had just received.

It was a good spell to make a clone of himself. The usual manifestation techniques rely on where a person is. This meant that the clone would not last long, and was not very strong. On the other hand, the Great Manifestation Technique did not rely solely on mana. One could also rely on one's blood essence or spiritual object to power the clones. A high-tier spirit item could carry more of its owner's power. In addition, power can be restored after it is exhausted. This meant that the clone would not disappear quickly.

“It's good!” Jiang Ming was overjoyed. This gift was the best gift he had received over the past few days.

“After I form a clone of myself, I can leave the mountain easily,” Jiang Ming said to himself excitedly.

Actually, he wanted to see the world behind the mountain. However, due to his low cultivation base and safety, he thought it was best to remain on the mountain.

After obtaining the system, his cultivation had improved greatly. However, for some reason, he still remained on the mountain.

After he put down his fishing line, he returned to his room.

He brewed a pot of tea before he began to grasp a special ability. It took time for him to spend a cup of tea to master his special abilities to an rudimentary stage.

When he opened his eyes, he exhaled a wisp of vital energy. There was a flash of light before a figure identical to him appeared in front of him.

‘Clone formed from vital energy is the lowest level of manifestation. It only carries a little bit of my consciousness and less than a millionth of my strength. Moreover, I will not be able to recover the depleted strength. This was like a disposable item ..’ Jiang Ming thought to himself. He knew that embodying a duplicate of himself meant he had to split his consciousness in two so that he could do two things at once.

Holy hooch!

The clone disappeared along with the vital energy; only a wisp of consciousness returned to it.

After which, Jiang Ming got up and moved his hand, releasing strands of consciousness and Qi to form 81 clones of himself.

“Excellent!”

Its 81 clones are capable of acting on their own. They looked at each other at this moment as if they were judging each other.

“The clone is quite perfect ..”

After a while, Jiang Ming finally pulled the clone. After all, he was useless to them now.

‘I have to spend more time mastering this technique so that I can form a clone whose energy can be recovered ..’

At this moment, the night had arrived. The moon shone on the night sky as the stars shone next to it.

Jiang Ming called the Human Path Notes to check on his younger sister again.
