The Soul Sealing Technique, unlike common techniques that used Qi, could only be used if the user could condense mental energy to utilize it. This technique wasn’t entirely focused on combat, but at higher levels, it could be problematic. After a slight advancement in this technique, the user would have mental energy at their disposal, just like Qi, not being limited to using mental power only in this technique.

That’s why Ruri and the other women could use mental power in different ways. But anything not directly related to the Soul Sealing Technique was crude and not very skillful; the girls had to learn to do everything on their own through trial and error. But now, a technique that used mental power in an entirely different way just appeared.

’Mental Drawing Technique – a simple technique to condense mental power into a rune that can be used to create a deep connection with something. With this, Anfi managed to invade the minds of women by adding his power to the Controlling Yin of the demonic metal,’ Bruno analyzed the technique carefully.

Alm then thought more practically. ’Ruri and the women can use this on their weapons and armor; with direct contact, it becomes easier to invade the enemy’s body. They were already using this on their weapons in a rather rudimentary way.’

Bruno agreed and analyzed other things carefully. ’Anfi also studied some armed combat techniques from the Three Extremes Sect. Well, we would have to spend buying techniques from evil cultivators to leave with the people here; now it won’t be necessary.’

Both dedicated time to the thorough reading of every possible detail about the Three Extremes Sect. Although Anfi was only a disciple and knew a minimal part of the whole, being the grandson of a well-regarded elder, his knowledge was deeper than most. In a few hours, they concluded the reading satisfied and fell silent after going through Anfi’s last months.

Through the grandfather, Anfi learned that a young evil cultivator named Goku emerged as a divine black dragon among evil cultivators. His muscles were like a giant ogre! His strikes carried the weight of a colossal whale! And his fury was akin to a giant beast, round as a mountain!

’...seems like the information reached them, but the sense got lost a bit,’ Alm said strangely.

’They’re all descriptions of our physique, but they interpreted it as characteristics of our power... well, it’s useful to know that. They don’t exactly know how we are,’ Bruno replied with a tone of ridicule.

Ruri and the five women from Montide were called, and the technique was transferred so they could study it. The whale then left and helped the new residents settle in more quickly. With his earth power, he built hundreds of houses in a single day. The castle, only he could enter, so a new central building was constructed at a distant point.

In this building, he left all the Jade Slips he possessed, along with all the techniques Anfi knew. They were high-level techniques, even in the evil cultivators’ sect, but Anfi only mastered half a dozen of them, focusing mainly on studying the mental technique.

In the building’s underground, Alm and Bruno created an extremely spacious area with a small pond containing the demonic blood drawn from the prison; the curse no longer existed, but it was strictly forbidden to absorb this blood. In the past, three patriarchs of evil sects developed the main techniques of their sects by studying the dense Yin; this would be a study location for the women and anyone else who wanted to develop on their own.

All seven hundred inhabitants settled in this place, extremely excited. Almost all of them were mixed beasts, but there were a few dozen humans who were randomly captured in the past. The controlling power in their minds had already been easily removed by entering the main building of the village, invading the formation and cutting the connection with their minds while Alm and Bruno’s group dealt with the enemies. Now, everyone could live without fear of invasions; the desert was a great barrier against weak foreigners, and those who managed to cross it to get here would be blocked by the bull-headed beast.

Alm and Bruno then returned to the castle and focused on the Forge God’s Dao. They had a giant stock of raw metals they mined in the desert to use. The days passed slowly, and the three-month interval between the tests was finally coming to an end.

Five days before the test, the whale had already forged hundreds of different weapons, and practically their entire stock was used. In the last weapons, they no longer needed to use the amulet to increase their chances; for every ten attempts to create a runic seal, only one failure occurred.

’The first level of the Forge God’s Dao seems to be complete,’ confirmed Bruno, trying to extract more information from the vast knowledge they had received. ’Now, we just need to elevate our cultivation to be able to acquire the second level.’

Alm expressed his irritation, saying, ’This time, we have many things to buy. We need to cultivate faster. That damn Array is hindering us a lot.’

’The benefits are equally great. But, we will go back to the prison, and this time, we can focus entirely on cultivation,’ said Bruno lightly, and the whale opened the castle gates.

The initial group was already waiting outside, so they all walked toward the exit. As they walked, they saw the inhabitants adapting easily and joyfully to their new life. Nature provided everything they needed, and Ruri, with her power, managed to attract a large amount of heavenly water laws and create a small lake. None of them were restricted; they could go to the central building to study techniques and cultivate, while the women who would stay behind would be the leaders and guardians of all.

An emotional scene unfolded with the women and Almin at the exit, but the whale simply ignored it and continued his stride outside. Almin promised to return whenever he had the opportunity, and they promised to take care of everything. The Montide women wished luck to Ruri, encouraging her to rescue more people from her tribe and bring them to their new home.

At the exit, something surprised everyone: Loeus was not left behind by Langrum. She simply said that she would continue his training and protect him, but Almin and the whale looked at her with strangeness. Would she be taking the boy to live in the midst of her harem?

"Don’t worry about useless things," said Langrum, realizing the looks and speaking with irritation. "He will turn 15 in a month; his body should be developed enough to cultivate fully. In any mortal village, at this age, he would already be considered an adult."

Almin and Bruno looked even more strangely at Langrum after these words. Bruno then judged that he didn’t need to intervene; she didn’t seem to have the intention of corrupting this young man, but she was acting very peculiarly.

The whale knew, from Almin, that Langrum had had a serious conversation with him about Yang pills. He even made some, but she wanted him to cook something of a higher level. It’s just that Almin was not yet skilled enough, and he lacked the material. Her frustration was noticeable, and she seemed motivated to obtain herbs of that kind for him.

Bruno pondered Langrum’s actions, but Alm simply ignored it. So, they set out on their journey back to the world of evil cultivators.
