"Every single day, you can study here for an hour, you will be sent out after that because your existence in this place also consumes resources. Come on, I'll help you out for a bit, after that, you can study on your own."
Tang Xing moved to a certain area, Yi Yun saw rows of grass of different shapes and colors.
There was a purple grass with two branches on it. There is also a yellow grass with flowers along the stem.
Each of them had a description written next to them.
Even so, Tang Xing still explained.
“This is a Two-Pronged Purple Grass, and this is a Yellow Flower Grass, these two grasses are quite easy to find, but they are extremely valuable because basic pills like Awakening Pills or Food Pills require them as the main ingredient.”
Yi Yun observed the two grasses, their auras were quite clear, their shapes were also uncomplicated, so it was quite easy to recognize them.
The moment he touched them with his spiritual energy, the Heavenly Garden immediately copied them. Then, their manifestation appears in it. Tang Xing didn't notice anything even though he was standing beside him. He only knew he was touching them with his spiritual energy, but that wasn't unusual either since whoever it was would do the same to make detailed observations.
"And this." Tang Xing pointed to a tree with a dark brown trunk, over 30 meters tall and 2 meters thick.
"It's called the Iron Tree, its wood is hard and won't rot even under water. In Alchemy, the wood of this tree is very important because the fire it produces is very stable. But yeah, it's not easy to find, even if we can buy the seeds, it takes a long time to cultivate them."
After showing a few more plants, Tang Xing finally left, leaving Yi Yun alone there.
Since no one else was around, he started copying the manifestations.
Ten thousand was too much, an hour was far from enough, so he started copying important plants. In that one hour, he managed to copy over five hundred manifestations.
He wanted to be there longer, unfortunately some invisible force pushed him out after the hour had arrived.
He returned to the fifth floor.
There was no one there, before leaving, Tang Xing told him to close the portal again after he was done.
“This sect is too bad, there are no elders guarding and even the hall is left unattended,” Xia Xinghe said.

"But it's more soothing, I prefer it." Yi Yun replied.
He didn't leave the building right away, he went to the third floor to read the books there.
He read the recipe books first, and every book he read he would rewrite in the Heavenly Garden.
Although Xia Xinghe had many recipes, most of them were rare pill recipes and the ingredients were also not something that was easy to find.
Xia Xinghe said that the Alchemy of Heavan's Path also has some recipes, but they are at too high a level, at this time, he is too far away from them.
After reading books on recipes, he read history and geography books.
History tells of many legendary characters like the Monarchs while geography tells about this world.
The geography that attracted Yi Yun the most.
The Overturned Ark Mountain Domain turned out to be one of the three hundred Minor Domains in the Sky Realm which was one of the Seven Realms.
This was a realm where cultivators lived in the sky.
In addition to those three hundred Minor Domains, the Sky Realm also has four Major Domains.
Of course, the so-called Minor Domains were not small at all, each one of them was vast with thousands of regions within.
The 41 Rivers Region where the Holy Light Sect was located was quite close to the Overturned Ark Mountain, but the actual distance wasn't a determinant of each region's strength.
Many regions were stronger even though they were further away than the Overturned Ark Mountain.
In total, there were around 500 rivers in the Overturned Ark Mountain Domain, they were all called the Iron Monarch Rivers because they flowed from the Overturned Ark Mountain.
They contained many high-quality iron ores that had until now been the source of income for many sects in the Overturned Ark Mountain Domain.
How they emerged was something that was not known until now.
The other realms and the Four Great Worlds are also mentioned although no details are provided, only mentioning their inhabitants.
It started with the Demon Realm inhabited by Plant Demons, Beast Demons, and Other Demons.
The Sacred Sea Realm inhabited by the Sea Race.
The Giant Realm inhabited by giant creatures such as Titans, Golems and the like.
The Elf Realm which is the most beautiful realm.
The Hell Realm inhabited by the Ghost Race and the like.
And lastly was the Primordial Realm whose whereabouts were a mystery because it had disappeared since the Seven Paths Monarch started the Great Era. This was the abode of Ancient Clans with extraordinary bloodlines like the Holy Light Clan.

The thing that makes their existence is still remembered because of their members who occasionally appear and even become Monarchs.
The current last monarch also came from them, known as the Star Eye Monarch of the Holy Star Clan, one who specialized in illusion.
Then the Four Great Worlds comprising the Sword World where all the inhabitants practiced the Dao of the Sword. The Desert World is full of ferocious warriors. The Myriad Dao World which was famous for its diverse Dao and the home of the Myriad Dao Monarch, who was almost recognized as the strongest Monarch among the top ten Monarchs. The last one is the Rainy World which somehow always rains.
In the vicinity of the Seven Realms and the Four Great Worlds, there are countless small worlds that are said to also have many inhabitants, some managed to come to the Seven Realms and Four Great Worlds after they reached the Nascent Soul realm, the peak of cultivation in their world.
They cannot be underestimated, many of them have also managed to become Monarchs.
Yi Yun didn't know how to react after knowing what this world was like, it was too diverse.
"These small worlds sound like earth, is that part of them?" Yi Yun couldn't help but ask.
"No," Xia Xinghe replied.
"You don't have to think about that old world of yours because you probably won't be able to go back."
Xia Xinghe looked like she had no interest in discussing earth, so Yi Yun stopped asking.
Days passed again, Yi Yun went to the hall building almost every day to study and cultivate until he could no longer, now he focused on cultivating the second spiritual essence in his first Heart Space.
While cultivating, he learned a technique to conceal the aura Xia Xinghe gave him. This was called the Thousand Aura Technique, whose basic ability was to transform and conceal aura.
The basics of this technique are quite easy to learn. His abilities are also decent. Unless someone else checked into his Heart Space, it wouldn't be easy to find out his true cultivation.
In the end, this kind of technique is very important to be used as a survival tool. Some things may need to be done with a hidden identity.
Apart from that, he also studied healing techniques.
Due to its purity, transparent spiritual essence had an extremely high affinity with the Dao of Life.
Everyone with this spiritual essence can practically create life energy.
It was this life energy that was used to heal wounds or cultivate plants because it was something full of vitality.
Within the Heavenly Garden, he was holding an eagle whose wings were injured, his hands emitted a transparent green light with dark green streaks, it healed the wounds on the eagle's wings rapidly.
After the wound healed, he released the eagle into the air.
There were already about five eagles that he had released in this Heavenly Garden as well as several dogs and cats that he had accidentally found while he was gathering firewood around the pavilions.
What they would be like, he could only wait. Currently, he has not been able to do the things that Xinghe suggested such as entering a hundred thousand deer and several beasts.
One thing that was quite amazing about the animals he put into the Heavenly Garden was that the Heavenly Garden could show him what they were looking at as long as they weren't too far away.
Of course, the range that could be demonstrated would get further and further as the Heavenly Garden grew larger.
It made him superior at spying on the enemy. At least he could keep an eye on the enemy from afar through their eyes because if they got too close, the enemy might notice.
In other words, he has many eyes.
On the 26th day, Mei Mei finally broke through, Tang Xing gave her three more days to stabilize her cultivation and learn a few things.
After that, he summoned the two of them to teach them how to refine pills.
This was an extremely important matter because even though Yi Yun already knew how to refine pills, practicing them was a completely different matter.
Although he could try it himself, he unfortunately didn't have the resources needed.
The sect, on the other hand, didn't have many resources, they didn't want beginners to waste resources practicing on their own, so they required every novice to train under the supervision of seniors first until their abilities were proven.

What might a man really do if he found himself reincarnated into a fantasy world as a dragon prince? How would he come to terms with his new nature, his larger-than-life family, the agendas of warring factions, and the destiny he never asked for? This is a story that intends to defy some isekai tropes, but play into others. It's mainly about exploring a rich hand-crafted world, full of its own history and mysteries. Its characters have their own lives and aspirations, and our protagonist is but a piece of the greater tapestry. This story is not about right and wrong, or good and evil. It's about a dragon-man being tested by fate, power, and time. It's about what it's like to live as an outsider who lost their home. But perhaps the most central theme is freedom. What does freedom really mean? What will it cost and how much might one be willing to pay for it? Does it even truly exist? Let's find out together.
