The investment period is increased, and the method of refining the elixir is planned!

Jiang Qing's only current limitation was his cultivation. Insufficient cultivation time led to slow progress, and even with Medicinal Pills to consume, it was still a bit slow.

In terms of strength, he was already a top expert capable of fighting a Martial Emperor across three major Realms, yet in terms of cultivation, he was still a novice who had just entered the Transcendent Realm...

Once Jiang Qing learned the Alchemy methods of the Honghuang World, he would be able to refine perfect Medicinal Pills with greater potency, and his cultivation speed would naturally increase.

First, learn Alchemy, then Formations. In short, methods that could significantly boost cultivation speed should be prioritized.

Cultivation was the Foundation of everything. Without a sufficiently solid cultivation Foundation, one would just be an empty shell, incapable of doing anything.

The sooner cultivation improved, the better; it should be placed first.

After resolving the issue of cultivation improvement, he would then learn the combat methods of Honghuang to enhance his combat power and Foundation.

Pulling out the System, Jiang Qing was about to begin the projection when he suddenly saw a text prompt beside it:

“You have met specific conditions, and all projection durations have been increased.”

“The duration for projecting yourself has been increased to 3 years, and the duration for projecting items has been increased to 3000 years…”

…

The projection duration had increased!

Jiang Qing's eyes lit up.

This increase came at just the right time.

The Honghuang World was vast and boundless, and all kinds of Cultivation methods were extremely difficult to comprehend.

Just like the Eight Nine Arcane Art he learned back then, Jiang Qing had only cultivated to the thirty-fifth revolution even now, with the subsequent stages yet to be completed.

Having experience cultivating the Eight Nine Arcane Art, Jiang Qing did not believe he could learn the complete Alchemy method in a single projection.

One must know that in the Honghuang World, an Immortal who achieved the Dao through Cultivation might spend tens of thousands of years in a single seclusion.

To learn the Alchemy methods of such a top-tier world, even with Luck's blessing, Jiang Qing would probably need several projections to master it.

An additional year of projection duration would allow Jiang Qing to learn more knowledge during the projection process.

Moreover… a total of three years of projection duration was enough for Jiang Qing to Cultivate to a higher cultivation Realm and come into contact with the top echelons of the Myriad Realms.

With three years of projection time, if he specialized in the Civilization Master path, a solid cultivation Realm would be enough for Jiang Qing to refine God Puppets comparable to the Martial Emperor Realm.

Accumulating through successive projections, the vision of a God Puppet army would no longer be a dream!

However, the main goal currently was to learn the top-tier methods from Honghuang, so projections related to the Myriad Realms were secondary and could wait for a while; there was no rush in that aspect.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Jiang Qing then used the Kuo Shen Hammer to shatter his sea of consciousness, along with everything related to the Civilization Master, leaving only the Primordial Spirit refined by the Eight Nine Arcane Art.

Afterward, Jiang Qing selected himself as the target and began setting the projection timeline and environmental conditions.

Jiang Qing already had a plan for this projection.

There were many Great Powers who cultivated the Dao of Alchemy in Honghuang, among the best of whom was Supreme Purity Old Master, one of the Three Pure Ones, and also the Great Power Jiang Qing could most easily approach.

Supreme Purity Old Master founded the Human Religion, which was inherently human-centric, educating the Human Race.

As a Human Race being, Jiang Qing had a certain Destiny with Supreme Purity Old Master, who founded the Human Religion.

However, directly becoming Supreme Purity Old Master's Disciple was unrealistic, because even though Taiqing founded the Human Religion, he only accepted Xuandu Grand Master as his sole personal Disciple.

Xuandu's Foundation was too high; he was the first Human Race created by Saint Nuwa. Although he was an Acquired being, his Aptitude was no weaker than that of Innate beings, and his Foundation was exceptionally high.

In terms of Foundation, Jiang Qing was incomparable to Xuandu Grand Master; his Cultivation Aptitude was also top-tier in the world, widely recognized as the first Disciple of the Xuanmen's third generation.

Supreme Purity Old Master cultivated the Dao of Purity and Inaction and was not enthusiastic about accepting Disciples.

Xuandu was his destined personal Great Disciple, the Foundation of the Human Religion, which was why he personally took him as a Disciple.

Apart from Xuandu, no one else could gain Supreme Purity Old Master's favor and be accepted as a Disciple, and Jiang Qing naturally was no exception.

Therefore, Jiang Qing had only one path to take if he wanted to learn profound Alchemy.

That was to display extraordinary Alchemy Genius and attract the attention of Xuandu Grand Master, the Great Disciple of the Human Religion.

Xuandu Grand Master was the personal Disciple of Taiqing Saint, the undisputed first Disciple of the Xuanmen's third generation, and the first Human Race created by Saint Nuwa, born from the creation of heaven.

Xuandu Grand Master's Alchemy attainment was indisputable. As Supreme Purity Old Master's personal Disciple, his attainment in the Dao of Alchemy reached the Peak, second only to Saint figures like Taiqing.

Following Xuandu Grand Master to learn the Dao of Alchemy was sufficient for Jiang Qing.

As for how to approach Xuandu Grand Master, Jiang Qing had already made preparations earlier.

When he entered the Chan Sect to Cultivate the Eight Nine Arcane Art, Jiang Qing learned about Xuandu Grand Master's experiences and knew some key points.

In his early days, Xuandu Grand Master did not deeply Cultivate the Dao of Purity and Inaction; his heart was still tied to the Human Race. At that time, he was keen on cultivating outstanding Genius for the Human Race and often preached the Dao to them.

Especially for Cultivation Genius who had contributed to the Human Race, Xuandu Grand Master was even more generous.

He would not only meticulously guide them but also bestow Cultivation resources, Medicinal Pills, and Magic Treasures to help them grow and shield the Human Race from wind and rain. Although there was no formal master-Disciple relationship, the reality of it existed.

Under such circumstances, he could travel among the various Human Race tribes, refine Medicinal Pills to help them grow, and gain favor with Xuandu Grand Master.

Coupled with his remarkable Alchemy Genius, it was highly probable that he would be noticed by Xuandu.

Even if he couldn't become a Disciple, being favored and guided by Xuandu Grand Master would still be excellent.

Jiang Qing quickly set the projection environment, and text floated before his eyes. The projection quickly began:

“Projection Target: Jiang Qing.”

“Projection World: Mythical Primordial World.”

“Projection Time: When Nuwa created humans, the early period of the Human Religion's establishment.”

“Duration: 3 years.”

“Projection Conditions: Travel among various Human Race tribes, refine Medicinal Pills to help them grow, and during this period, freely display your potential, strive to become a Disciple of Xuandu Grand Master, and learn the Great Dao of Alchemy of the Honghuang World.”

“Projection starting…”

“Time arrives at the Honghuang World during Nuwa's creation of humans. At this time, Nuwa gained great Karma from creating the Human Race and ascended to Saint status. Supreme Purity Old Master accepted the first Human Race being, 'Xuandu,' as his personal Great Disciple and established the Human Religion…”

“Currently, the Human Race is in ruins. The newly born Human Race, even with the Dao cultivation methods passed down by Taiqing, finds it difficult to contend with the Witch and Demon Races in Honghuang. Conflicts between the Witch and Demon Races frequently arise, and the Human Race's living space is constantly being suppressed…”

“You appear in a Human Race tribe and begin traveling among the various Human Race tribes…”

“One month has passed. Thanks to your excellent Alchemy attainment, you quickly gained considerable fame among the Human Race. The Medicinal Pills you refine can help Human Race Martial Dao Cultivators rapidly increase their strength, allowing them to possess combat power to contend with external enemies before they achieve Immortality…”
