When Yugong woke up from his weird dream, he lost all memories of it.
He felt that it contained something important, even, when he looked at his weapon, the feeling that was only subtle before was much stronger.
Still, he couldn't remember it.
In the end, he gave up and just sighed.
About to reach to his sword pendant, he stopped.
"Alas, I am impatient.
I have just cultivated, if my guess is right, then I should have done differently than others.
Now it's time for me to ask Yiye about his own state and compare it to mine, not blindly go back to cultivation.
Haha, it seems my heart already has a small spark of obsession for the path of immortality!
Others might not have this quite as fast, after all, they don't know the world too well and just think that immortals are like superheroes…
Interesting people but in the end, they are still pretty much just popular people – many children don't even think superheroes are cool but think better of cartoons and such.
On the other hand, not only is there the past… even here, being a hunter is a difficult life!
Well, after two years, hunting is more than just difficult… it's really interesting!"
When he thought of hunting, he had a desire to leave the sect, enter a forest and look for beasts.
A small killing intent was imperceptibly flowing in his eyes.
In the end, he stopped himself
He didn't just hunt for the sake of it, so he wouldn't really leave the sect.
He hunted because it was his way of earning a living.
No matter how enjoyable it was, he wasn't a kill maniac who couldn't stop hunting, or one who hunted just for the sake of it.
Maybe if he was in the modern world, enjoying a nice life and hunting as a hobby, he would do it.
But here, hunting wasn't a joking matter.
There was always danger.
Yugong didn't think that as a cultivator, he would encounter no danger.
Can't beasts cultivate too?
If he wanted to hunt mortal beasts, he might just as well drink poison!
Although he hadn't read the guide just yet, from his expansive knowledge, he knew that mortal things were impurities to the cultivator's body.
He spent all the power to clean his body now, why would he go all the way to poison himself?
Yugong restrained his will to hunt and calmed down.
"Well, I shouldn't be so hasty and impatient.
It seems I have to temper my mind a bit!
One day my impatience to fight could make me like one of those battle maniacs that only know how to fight and forget that the goal of cultivation is immortality, not fighting!"
His mind calmed down suddenly, and he felt that he had gained a bit.
Then he stood up and walked out of his meditation room.
Outside, he saw the entrance that was still as bare yet surprisingly clean.
"I wonder if the formation also cleans the cave.
Well, it's time to leave and ask Yiye."
As he said this, he walked to the formation wall that would lead to the outside.
Usually, it had the appearance of a wall, if one wanted to leave, it would change into a wide gate.
Thinking of this, he tapped on the wall, but it didn't transform.
Then he thought of something took out his jade pendant.
The moment it was near the wall, it glowed and a small light left the pendant, flying towards Yugong's eyebrows.
Instantly, he gained a little information.
"So, I can use the pendant as a tool to close and open the formation as long as I refine it?"
He didn't think much of it and went back, sitting on one of the chairs to the side.
The refining method for this pendant wasn't difficult – he had already formed initial refinement with his blood.
On top of this, because of the blood refinement, it would only react to him and would be destroyed if he were to die.
He just needed to let his spiritual power enter the pendant and refine the inscription in it.
As a rather common item, it wasn't difficult to refine the first few inscriptions.
The information given also told him he could take his time to refine the rest slowly.
Only after he refined all 48 inscriptions would he be allowed to leave the sect – before that, he would have to carry it with him at all times.
Unsurprisingly, when he put his spiritual power into the pendant, it seemed like there was a highway.
It was instantly pulled and absorbed towards a direction.
With only a few moves, Yugong refined the first twelve inscriptions.
"Well, with a long heritage, it's no wonder even a simple identification tool has such high standards.
Fortunately, there is the blood refinement, else, anyone who stole it would have it easy!"
He smiled then willed his spiritual power to use the pendant.
With the refining of the inscriptions, he also got extra knowledge how to use the weapon.
But he guessed that this was a normal ability of inscriptions.
Although inscriptions are obscure and he can't read them, with the refining, he was able to understand a lot of things.
Such as the ability to communicate with others who hold the jade in a radius of one thousand kilometres or more depending on whether there was a sect branch.
Inside the sect, one could fully communicate with everyone regardless of distance.
There was also a library inside with all the inheritance, a mission board, and so on.
He quickly figured out that the latter two couldn't be done just with the pendant, one had to visit in person.
"Was this why the disciple that came to the merit hall directly took the mission jade slip without looking at it?
Well, this is probably to ensure the security of these things.
Or maybe this requires higher authority.
At least I can't do it for now…"
Among the many functions, there was also the function of managing the cave formation.
Yugong willed his spiritual power into the pendant once more and thought of a few things.
In just a moment, the pendant lightened up once more and the cave wall in front of him opened up.
Yugong then stepped out, not knowing the drama he caused in the time he was in seclusion!
