"Where did that guy go?" Lan Yunling asked Aunt Mei on Zhang Zhixuan's whereabouts. Because her room is located closest to the entrance to the Baihua Courtyard, the sound from the footsteps and how the person opened the door can be guessed.

"Why do you ask? Did he has something to do with you?" Aunt Mei replied her with an unexpected question.

"No! I got nothing to do with him!" Lan Yunling turned around and bit her finger.

"Just... He was granted with a Spiritual Mineral less than a week ago, right? How can somebody lacks execution and training can utilize his Spiritual Mineral to that level?" although Lan Yunling won the fight yesterday, she did not feel victorious at all.

Most importantly, if her fight with Zhixuan spreads outside of the courtyard, won't the people call her a big bully? She's a Celestial Refiner Cultivator of two years experience after all!

But what stunned her is the fact this junior with less than one week full of experience actually capable of not only dodging her sword, stopping her from stepping forward with a Fire Tower, defending her arrow with an Ice Wall, plus creating an Ice Blade.

"Maybe she's a genius?" Aunt Mei replied to her.

"Who knows? Maybe he's dead because he's outside from last night until now. Did he went inside the Eastern Forest?" Lan Yunling tone shows a hint of guessing, but in fact, she knows where the guy must be going at night.

"Maybe he went to the Phoenix Brothel?" Meng Yinli's voice joined their conversation, putting Zhixuan into the worst position they might imagine.

"Hahaha, I don't think that he will visit the Phoenix Brothel at his first night inside of Baiyun Academy. He comes from a small village of about 100 families, which means he might have no money to spend there at all." Aunt Mei added.

But deep inside her, she's feeling a little suspicious on Men Yunli's words. No matter how broke he is, the youth mentioned about selling the Processed Material yesterday.

"Did the youth brings them here so he can break his virginity today?" Aunt Mei can't help but suspect the youth that went out for the entire night.

"Senior sister Yunling, I hope you can refrain yourself from guessing all of those suspicions about I'm not looking like an educated cultivator. Be it I'm visiting a brothel or not, is not your concern." Zhixuan came into the Living Room quietly for their breakfast.

"Ah, you're home. Everything fine with you?" Aunt Mei realized that her suspicion is inaccurate. But she did feel a little improper to treat the youth like this in her mind.

"Yes, Aunt Mei. I just come back from the Eastern Forest. Do you mind making an extra dish with this meat as their main ingredient?" Zhixuan canceled the Ice Block that he used to preserve the freshness of the ingredient.

"Thump!" when the Ice Block thawed, a piece of meat belonged to Silver Hair Refiner Wolf came into their sight. It was about 2 to 3 kilograms in weight, with the bones from its ribs protruding out.

"Oh? That's the best Rib Part from the Silver Hair Refiner Wolf. Not bad, Zhixuan. It's the part with the best flavor. Give Aunt Mei about fifteen minutes, I'll braise them with my Flame Element Spiritual Ore." Aunt Mei said.

"Ceh!" Lan Yunling was speechless. Although it wasn't difficult for her to hunt a Silver Hair Refiner Wolf, to skin them and come back with a well preserved, blood-free piece of Wolf Ribs is difficult.

Most importantly, the fact Zhang Zhixuan possessed the Ice Elemental Characteristic greatly help him in making this possible.

The others soon gathered in the Living Hall, preparing to enjoy the additional meat dish. Although it was early in the morning, none of them mind having a heavy meal, especially the Silver Hair Refiner Wolf is well known for the cleansing properties, especially for girls that love their hair.

When the pot of Wolf Ribs come out from the kitchen, everyone started to drool. Even Aunt Mei can only enjoy this delicacy, which is known to be difficult to hunt due to the limited number of Silver Hair Refiner Wolves and their sneakiness.

The breakfast went well, but after they're done, only Zhixuan and Aunt Mei are left inside Baihua Courtyard. The others have their own activities, such as attending classes, working, or going to the library to study.

"Boy, go and get your proper rest. A Celestial Refiner can only fight and cultivates in their best condition. You must be inside the forest for ten hours?" Aunt Mei said.

"Thank you, Aunt Mei. If there's nothing else, Zhixuan will return to his room." without any further thing to talk about, Zhixuan left the Living Hall to his room.

But he did not return to his room empty handed.

"Come here!" Zhixuan flicked his finger towards the three Ice Blocks bigger than before to floats by his side. When he entered his room and locked the door, the Ice Blocks thawed.

It revealed to be some Cultivating Material, Refining Material, and Armament Materials.

As a Pinnacle Legend of Celestial Refiners, Zhixuan is more than knowledgable compared to all of the Celestial Refiner Teacher in the entire Continent Combined.

He might lack common knowledge about this world for now, but such a flaw can be covered the more he improves himself.

The only thing that bothered him, for now, is the fact there are not only the Celestial Beings is in this world, but Erosion and Putrid Beings too. In the materials collected from the Eastern Forest trip, Zhixuan clarified his suspicion about the existence of Erosion Energy within the Mineral Essence Block he refined.

Added with the explanation from Aunt Mei last night, it matches perfectly to the story he believes to be accurate.

...

This realm was invaded by Erosion Refiner and Putrid Refiner Tribe, unknown of how many thousand years ago. From how Aunt Mei describes what she knows, this invasion happened at least 5,000 years ago. But she knows nothing more than the news of their intrusion.

As for the place he's at, instead of being a part of the dynasty, it is more suitable to name them as Independent Countries. The one they're living within is also known as the Yellow Dragon Country.

Although undeveloped, the administrative hierarchy still well practiced in the Yellow Dragon Country. In total, the Yellow Dragon Country cut the land in its control into four Province-Level states, known as Tian Long Province, Shan Long Province, Di Long Province, and Huang Long Capital.

The Province-Level Division is also known as 1st Level or top-level Hierarchy. Reporting under them is the Prefectural-Level Division or the 2nd Level Hierarchy.

In total, there are 9 Prefectural-Level Division in the entire Yellow Dragon Country, two in the three Provincial States and three in the Capital. They are then further split into 45 County-Level Division or 3rd Level Hierarchy to report to them.

The 4th Level Hierarchy is also known as Township-Level Division, where Baiyun Academy, the Representative and Governing Body of the White Cloud Township Division comes in. Each County controls one thousand Township-Level Division in total, making up for the figure of 45,000 Township-Level Division in the entire Yellow Dragon Country.

Further down is the 5th Level Hierarchy, known as Informal communities or Villages. To make things easier to understand, a 5th Level Division possess no governing rights at all, but the representative responsible for promoting the growth of their Township-Level Division.

...

"I start to understand the reason she says that we're invaded by Erosion Refiner and Putrid Refiners. From the way I see things, they're gathering their forces once more to capture this realm." Zhixuan organized the Materials according to their kinds as he does the same in his mind.

His fight during the night gives him 20 Tian Lai Grass, 10 Mineral Essence Blocks from the Celestial Realm's Beast, and 10 cores from the Erosion Beast he killed.

If he's not mistaken, the Marshal Bai City is situated close to where the Erosion Tribe is gathered. He's at ease because the Erosion Tribe is somewhat easier to handle compared to the Putrid Tribe, but worried because Erosion Tribe is well known for one particular aspect.

Their speed of breeding for humankind and spawning for the beast is ridiculously fast. Especially for the Erosion Tribe's Beast, a pregnant breastfeeding beast can give birth to more than fifty to sixty infants, while the egg-laying counterparts can achieve the feature of fifteen to twenty eggs monthly.

"I have no choice but to make sure the people in Marshal Bai City pay attention in controlling their numbers, with the intention to destroy their lifeline. Else, one year is enough for them to grow their numbers to threaten the people from Marshal Bai City." Zhixuan knows that he will have to consider a trick to control their numbers.

"Anyway, I am not bothered by this at all." Zhixuan ignored the other Materials aside and took the ten cores belonged to the Erosion Beast to his working table.

"By forging them into Erosion Pills, I can then use them to temper my Celestial Body and increase the resistance to Erosion Energy in the future." Zhixuan smiled. It wasn't difficult to forge the Erosion Pill, but it was a problem with his Spiritual Energy.
