"Where should we start?" The Keeper asked.

"Well, you said that the Yin tree is the best of the bunch when it comes to effectiveness. Does it apply in this case too?"

"Yes, it does. The extreme Yin tree is no small deal. That is a resource that even Qi saints can use, and you have just enough to last you for quite a while."

"Will It las till the end of channel tempering real?"

"That is the exact thing which I don't know about. I hope you understand that you are talking about 11 people who are trying to completely temper their channels to the highest level. It would have been sufficient if the number were a quarter of what the actual demand was, but the situation doesn't seem that way."

"Can't we plant the Extreme-Yin tree within the artifact with the help of the pieces I have?"

"Well extreme Yin tree is a top grade resource and it isn't easy to grow it. Certain conditions are required for it to even show signs of growing a bit, much less regrowing from a broken piece."

"What are the conditions?"

"The first requirement is an environment of dense Yin energy. The quality required for it to grow properly is quite high. The minimum requirement would be a hell plane itself."

"So we can't grow the Extreme Yin tree in this world?"

"No. That is just the first requirement. The second requirement is a more fundamental one. You need an Extreme Yin tree seed to grow it. The pieces we have with us wouldn't be able to grow the tree back."

"Where is the seed which was with the tree when we found it?"

"Most of it was destroyed when he was channeling his power into you. The last remaining one was inserted within Li Meng's body to grant you an extreme Yin body. We have no seeds left in the inventory."

"So growing the trees within the artifact is no option for now."

"I do have a suggestion regarding that. We first need to create an environment where the trees could grow in. We need to funnel in Hell's energy and create an extremely dense energy zone within the artifact. This will take a lot of time and effort to make. We need to begin at the earliest."

"Should I try opening a gate to hell again and go in there?"

"I guess you have realized something from the experience while traveling the world border right?"

"I have. I felt a disconnect to the laws which I have established."

"The disconnection will be at its highest when you enter another plane. Since you don't have any laws from hell, I would like you to bid for time to combine Qi and world energy to form Chaos laws. Only when you manage to establish a single Chaos law base, will we be going into Hell."

"So Chaos laws are that powerful." Li Meng was impressed by the definition.

"Chaos law is kind of your creation. The law is your creation and hence doesn't belong to the world itself. Yet the similarity of law will resonate with every world which has laws of similar type. You can use Chaos law to its full potential anywhere. The regions which do have the laws will facilitate your use of them."

"So I will be at my full strength no matter which world I go."

"Yes. You need to concentrate on establishing Chaos laws in your next trial. You have four more trials left as of now, and I need at least three of them being formed in Hell since you practice art with that characteristic of energy. Meanwhile, we will use the remaining pieces to make an herb blend and begin the channel tempering process."

"DO we have herbs required for the initial stages?"

"No. We need to collect some powerful fire attributed herbs from the Taiwan mountains. We need to make a trip there. We also need some other herbs related to poisons, marrow refining, healing, and blood enhancement. I think most of the others will either be available within the Taiwan mountains itself, or the institute should have them."

"So, Pill Valley should he all the herbs."

"They should have some of them, but you need to funnel most of them from the Thunder academy. We need powerful thunder energy attributed herbs. Thunder energy is especially required to carry out the tempering. We would also be fortunate if we could get our hands on some powerful elemental attributed herbs."

"So I need to return so fast. It hasn't even been half the time since I left."

"We had planned to stay here for some time until we achieve our goals. The only thing remaining too is to establish a powerful force that could be led by Su Menqi. Which realm is she in ?"

"She managed to reach Advance Qi King level."

"I guess the body is slowly awakening. That is the power of the Absolute frost body." The keeper commented.  I estimate she will reach the Qi Emperor level within a year with her speed, and her cultivation speed will only increase after his breakthrough. She will be a force to reckon with in the Royal road."

"The absolute frost body is that powerful." Long Tao was shocked by this information.

"Your element king body needs to be enhanced at least three times to reach her level. Imagine the strength of her natural body." It provided a good reference for Long Tao to ponder on.

"I guess some people are born fortunate. Anyways. What should we do next."

"Try and collect all the herbs you could collect in this region. We might even go back to the swamp to try out herb collection there. That place might have something which is the best resource for us at the moment."

Li Meng continued his endeavor into the poison swamp while Su Menqi was on her way to the water-mist village with another avatar. The pieces were falling into place
