Primordial Harem System

Shen Yuan glanced down to see her slowly fade away and returning to his Sea of Consciousness, "I will head to the Inner Sect now. No point in living in inferior places when I can go to the Inner Sect where everything is of higher grade. Even the Qi is purer due to formations."

Yue Lan returned to his Sea of Consciousness as her voice echoed inside his head,

[Well, good luck with whatever you do. I will go to sleep for now. Wasted too much energy in my solid form outside.]

Shen Yuan nodded his head and stood up as he felt the gentle warm wind blowing on his face.

The cherry blossom petals continued dropping as he had a sudden thought.

He took out a solid block of metal and started attacking it with his finger using various Weapon Intents.

Sword, Spear, Saber, Bow, Halberd, Scythe...

He continued attacking until the block of solid metal was riddled with deep marks, but it still didn\'t break as it was a Peak Dao Forming Core Stage material.

"Let\'s leave this piece of metal to whoever will inherit this courtyard after me," Shen Yuan thought with a smile as he moved the block of metal beside the tree and took out a signboard.

\'Help me take care of the Plum Blossom Tree; as a token of appreciation, you can comprehend the Intents from this block of metal. From Shen Yuan.\'

He hung the signboard on the tree as he wrote the entire sentence with his Fire Intent but hid it subtly so only those who spent a considerable time beneath the tree would be able to find it.

He dusted his hands and began walking towards the exit in white robes.

...

"Look, look, is that Senior Brother Shen Yuan?"

"Kyaa! It\'s really Senior Brother Shen Yuan."

"I heard he saved our Senior Sisters who went to the Mystique Realm ahead of him."

...

Shen Yuan didn\'t hear the discussion of the disciples as he headed towards the Treasure Pavilion to check out for stuff there and see if there was anything worthwhile.

He headed inside one portal after another until he reached his destination. He saw a massive building with lotuses engraved all over it.

"Treasure Pavilion, huh," he muttered to himself softly and walked towards the gate.

The disciples guarding the gate looked at him with respectful eyes and didn\'t stop him as he walked past them.

\'Hmm, have the things which I had done inside the Mystique Realm spread already? Is that why everyone is looking at me like that?\'

He thought to himself as he stepped inside the Treasure Pavilion.

His eyes adjusted to the warm glow of the surroundings as he saw a large display of treasures lined up all over the place.

The vast pavilion had a lot of disciples coming and going as the working disciples took care of the rest of the work.

The shelves held a large variety of items, ranging from ancient scrolls, bottles of pills, weapons, techniques, and other unknown treasures.

Each item released a unique aura befitting that of a treasure; some pulsed gently with a vibrant life aura, while some radiated intense murderous aura.

He wandered over to the weapons section first. Looking around for a while, he saw various types of weapons.

"Hmm, the Fallen Wind Sword," he murmured, reading the plaque beneath it. "Amplifies water elemental techniques. Not compatible with my Fire Intent."

He moved on, examining the spears next. He saw a wide variety of them as well—flexible spears, hard spears, long spears, and many more.

He moved his gaze away to see the seemingly endless section of weapons as he shook his head and thought, \'Why even bother? I don\'t need any weapons for now, and my current ones are already good enough for me as they are of higher quality than these as well.\'

He left the weapon section and moved directly towards the techniques section.

\'There are much lower techniques compared to the weapons,\' he thought to himself as he leaned forward to read one of the plaques.

\'Thunder God\'s Mantra.\'

Shen Yuan\'s lips twitched as he read the name. He picked up the technique manual and gave it a rough read before putting it back and thinking, \'How fucking arrogant, these guys really give any bullshit names to their techniques. Those novels were correct; weaker cultivators give grand names to their pathetic techniques to make them sound stronger.\'

He continued looking through the technique section to see if what he was looking for was among the techniques or not.

He chuckled to himself from time to time reading the technique names.

"Celestial Dragon\'s Breath"

"Nine Heavens Ice Stomp"

"Eternal Lotus Palm"

"Searing Phoenix Talon"

"Heavenly Tiger Roar"

With each technique, Shen Yuan grew increasingly amused and annoyed, finding most of them to be impractical for his cultivation with exaggerated names.

He skimmed through a few more:

"Divine Lotus Bloom," "Thousand Shadow Steps," and "Serpent\'s Whisper."

Each of them sounded like a heaven-defying skill, but they were either bad or incompatible with his existing affinities.

\'Sigh, looks like it was a wasted trip,\' Shen Yuan shook his head as he began leaving the Treasure Pavilion, but before he could leave, a disciple came closer and greeted him with a smile.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Shen Yuan." It was one of the Treasure Pavilion disciples who took care of disciples inside the pavilion.

Shen Yuan nodded his head in greeting and stopped in his place to see what she had to say.

"May I know what you are looking for?" she asked with a smile and continued to explain herself, "I heard from my superiors that you have been awarded any three treasures from the Outer Sect Treasure Pavilion or a single treasure from the Inner Sect."

Shen Yuan nodded his head and asked what he was looking for, "Can I find—"

"Oh my, is that you, Senior Brother Shen Yuan?" someone\'s cheerful voice sounded as a beautiful woman came from behind the weapon section towards Shen Yuan.

He turned around to see Chen Yue walking slowly towards him, "Hmm? I thought you were going to enter into seclusion after leaving with Big Sis Huo Rong."

Chen Yue came closer to him and smiled lightly, "I was going to enter as well, but I needed these pills to break through, so I used my reward to get them."

Shen Yuan tilted his head in confusion, "Why didn\'t you ask for them from Big Sis? I\'m sure she has many such pills which she has no use for. It would have been better if you had taken them."

Chen Yue blushed slightly as she lowered her head.

Shen Yuan raised a brow in understanding as he continued, "Surprisingly you are shy to ask her for these things, huh. Well, never mind, we will have a talk about this later."

He turned back to the pavilion disciple and said, "Looks like the stuff here is only for Outer Sect disciples. I will look for what I need inside the Inner Sect Treasure Pavilion later."

The disciple gracefully gave him a bow in respect, "Have a good day, Senior Brother."
