"For now, these will suffice. Senior Brother, keep the glass-type jadeite you have on hand for now; I'll ask for it later if needed. However, if you have any ice-type jadeite—not the ones with good color—I could use some of those," Ge Dongxu reflected and then said.

He only brought enough Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade for his cultivation in the next few days, and since he temporarily couldn't pass the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation onto Yang Yinhou, he naturally needed to carve some to leave for Yang Yinhou before his departure.

"That's easy, just let Murong prepare as much as you need," Yang Yinhou said.

"Get about forty or fifty pieces," Ge Dongxu stated.

"Alright, I'll go prepare them right now," Ouyang Murong took the glass-type jadeite given by Ge Dongxu and left the villa.

After Ouyang Murong left, Ge Dongxu transmitted the complete cultivation technique of the Baopu Jiudan Xuan Gong up to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation to Yang Yinhou and also prescribed a medicine for treating his leg injury.

"Hundred-Year Wild Ginseng, Thousand-Year Wild Polygonum multiflorum, Rehmannia glutinosa, Dragon Hollyhock... These herbs are easy to find; they just cost some money. But this Jiuyang Chi Yan Fruit and this Ganlin Xuanyang Grass, brother hasn't even heard of them, let alone seen them," Yang Yinhou, who had also learned medicine and elixir arts from Ren Yao in his early years and was an expert in this field, frowned upon looking at the prescription Ge Dongxu gave him.

"Both the Jiuyang Chi Yan Fruit and the Ganlin Xuanyang Grass should grow in hot regions. Although I haven't seen them, I know what they look like and can describe them. I will ask around for information on my part, and Senior Brother should also have someone inquire in various places. These two herbs are critical to the Jiuyang Return to Life Soup; if we can find and brew them, after you take it, your leg injury will fully heal. Otherwise, even if you can stand again, the injury in your meridians will likely take more than a decade to completely heal. If that happens, it will probably affect the progress of your cultivation," Ge Dongxu explained.

If Yang Yinhou hadn't received the complete cultivation technique of the Baopu Jiudan Xuan Gong up to the eighth layer of Qi Cultivation, or if he hadn't had the Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade given by Ge Dongxu, being able to stand and walk again would have been enough for him; as for cultivation, he wasn't young and didn't have many years left to live, nor was he vying for supremacy, so it wouldn't matter much to him.

It would be good if he could grow stronger, but he wouldn't force it if he couldn't.

But now, with the complete cultivation technique and the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade, Yang Yinhou fully understood why Ge Dongxu had previously told him that at his current age of under a hundred, he still had a long life ahead of him.

Because cultivating was about contending for life with the heavens, the higher the level of cultivation, the longer the lifespan.

Before, with Yang Yinhou's condition, there was no way he could break through the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation in this lifetime, and his lifespan would also be limited to that level. A significant breakthrough was unlikely.

But now, the situation was clearly different. With the complete cultivation technique and the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade, it wasn't just about breaking through the fifth layer—breaking through to the sixth or even the seventh layer was hopeful, which meant a potential breakthrough in his natural life span, at least a gain of seven or eight years over the original estimate.

In such a case, how could Yang Yinhou simply "resign himself to fate"?

So, after hearing this, Yang Yinhou immediately said, "Alright, if it's in a hot region, this area is all hot region; it should be easy to ask around."

Ge Dongxu nodded and detailed the shapes of the two herbs.

Afterward, the two of them chatted about their master's past. Initially, Yang Yinhou couldn't wait to visit his master's grave as soon as he heard the news. But now that there was hope for his legs to stand again, he preferred to wait and visit the master's grave once he could truly stand, so as not to make the master feel sad if he knew from the underworld that Yang Yinhou visited him in a wheelchair.

People who cultivate still believe in such things beyond the mortal realm.

As the two were chatting, Shangguan Ouyang arrived with the polished Jade Tokens.

There were fifty ice-type Jade Tokens and exactly one hundred and thirty glass-type Jade Tokens, which was a lot more than Ge Dongxu had initially expected when he first came here.

After storing the Jade Tokens, Ge Dongxu asked Yang Yinhou for a room, then went to carve the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation.

Drawing the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation had become a piece of cake for Ge Dongxu.

Alone in his room, Ge Dongxu had hardly taken any rest and had drawn fifty pieces of Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade in one go without wasting a single Ice Type Jadeite.

After he finished, Ge Dongxu felt his mana still abundantly flowing inside him, and after some thought, he took out a Glass-Type Jade Token and began to carve the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation onto it.

Before this attempt, Ge Dongxu had carved the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation on Ice Type Jadeite many times, so now the process was like riding a bicycle, very familiar, though the True Qi inside him was depleting rapidly while he carved.

Before he even finished one Formation, Ge Dongxu felt the consumption of his True Qi was almost equal to what had been consumed by carving the fifty pieces of Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation earlier.

"Crack, crack!" Just as the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation was about to be completed, the entire Formation suddenly collapsed, and cracks spread across the jade like a spider web. Subsequently, this piece of Glass Type Jadeite, which if well-crafted into a piece of jewelry, could be worth at least two to three hundred thousand, shattered into fragments.

Watching hundreds of thousands vanish in an instant, Ge Dongxu didn't feel a pinch of heartache, but instead, joy crept onto his brows.

Carving the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation on Glass Type Jadeite was going smoother than he had anticipated. Although the jade had broken, he had seen a glimmer of successful hope.

Indeed, you get what you pay for, he thought, the quality of Glass Type Jadeite was superior. The True Qi moved freely within it, making the carving much easier.

Ge Dongxu mused to himself and then took out another piece to continue the carving.

Continuing in this manner until the fourth piece, when the last character of the Talisman was carved, the transparent Glass-Type Jade Token suddenly lit up with seven flashes of brilliant light. Holding the Jade Token in his hand, Ge Dongxu felt the scene before him transform suddenly, as if he were in the vast cosmos, gazing at the endless pinpoints of stars.

Among them, seven shone the brightest, resembling the form of an ancient wine scooping instrument.

As Ge Dongxu looked towards those seven stars, it seemed as if specks of radiance were sprinkling down on him, and he felt as though he was bathing in warm sunlight, the sensation was indescribably comfortable.

It truly was comfortable, Ge Dongxu thought to himself, his eyes once again drawn to those seven stars.

This look, however, revealed seven enormous fireballs, where the terrifying heat seemed to engulf him instantly, as if he could be reduced to ashes in a moment.

Ge Dongxu felt the pain of being scorched, and thinking trouble was coming, he hurriedly closed his eyes.

Oddly enough, when Ge Dongxu thought he had closed his eyes, he found that they were still open. But instead of the vast sky and the seven enormous fireballs, he was back in his room once more.

The Jade Token in his hand, which had the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation carved into it, had once again turned to pieces.

But this time, it was not because the carving had failed, but like many other times, it had finally "passed away due to old age."

Not only that, but Ge Dongxu also discovered that his entire body was drenched as if he had been fished out of water.

"What's going on here?" Ge Dongxu's expression changed subtly, and he quickly cycled through his mental method to investigate the changes within his body.
