"In this confluence, the Fetal Breath Spring was said to have given birth to a Divine Fish containing the power of Taiyin and Taiyang. If a man consumed it, the forces of Taiyin and Taiyang would manifest within him, enabling him to impregnate any member of the opposite sex. If a woman consumed it, Yin and Yang would generate within her. Using the power of her Primordial Spirit, she could coalesce the origin of life, endow it with spiritual wisdom, and give birth to offspring..."

Wang Mu was speechless. What Divine Fish? Quite interesting…

"This appears to be…" Shan Chuan said cautiously. "It must be the legendary fish I've only heard the Clan Leader talk about. The Clan Leader is currently recuperating because he drove away those fishing enthusiasts who damaged the Fetal Breath Spring…"

Make any member of the opposite sex conceive? Really? So there's no reproductive isolation, is there? If a woman consumes it, she conceives directly. Wang Mu thought, This fish must be something valuable. It's just a pity I can't use it.

Wang Mu stored the fish away.

He then distributed the Mother and Child Fish to many of the Ancient Image Clan members.

Although this creature is high-grade, it's of no use to me.

Seeing the joyful Ancient Image Clan members, Wang Mu thought, I might have just maxed out their friendliness towards me.

In the end, Wang Mu kept seven or eight for himself.

"Benefactor, our Ancient Image Clan will never forget your great kindness!"

Shan Chuan's eyes shimmered with tears. "Our Clan Leader is currently recuperating. After a discussion among our clan members, Benefactor, we realized our Ancient Image Clan doesn't have much to offer in return. We only have some special refining materials and some secret techniques that Human Clan cultivators like yourselves might not care for much. Would you be interested?"

"What secret techniques?" Wang Mu asked.

"Archery," said Shan Chuan. "Centuries ago, our Ancient Image Clan lived by climbing mountains and hunting. Our legacy began when our ancestors shot down the Sun Essence Fire with projectile techniques. Most Human Clan cultivators do not favor this path.

"My Ancient Image Clan is unharmed by fierce fire and possesses immense strength. We've made some progress in the art of projectiles, studying the way of the Arrow Cultivator for centuries. We're somewhat of an anomaly in the Nine Provinces Cultivation World, though it's considered normal here in Ling Province."

Wang Mu paused. Oh, Archery is indeed rare.

"No worries, I don't mind," Wang Mu nodded. "I'm quite interested in this. What formidable archery skills does your Ancient Image Clan possess?"

"That would naturally be the Sun-Shooting Technique," Shan Chuan said. "Our clan inherits the Sun Shooting Divine Scripture, which has two most powerful forms: 'Star Dipping Plain' and 'Heaven and Earth are without Light.' This technique is not normally shared externally. However, Benefactor, since you have shown great kindness to our Ancient Image Clan, we are willing to teach these two forms to you.

"However, the path of Archery might not suit Human Clan cultivators like you, and you may not be able to learn it.

"But our Ancient Image Clan also has many unique refining materials, which should be more appealing to you."

"Teach them to me quickly," Wang Mu said.

Shan Chuan was taken aback.

Finally, I've found an Arrow Cultivator. I never thought I'd find one here in Ling Province. As expected of an Ancient Clan! In places like Qianzhou and Huangtian Continent, Arrow Cultivators are exceedingly rare. Those who prefer long-range combat directly opt for Five Elements Magic, which is both effective and impressive. It's unlike Archery; if you want to pursue it, you have to craft bows and arrows. Otherwise, it's unplayable—it burns money and isn't even stylish…

"By the way, Benefactor!" Shan Chuan added. "Our clan also possesses ancient Divine Bow blueprints, named 'Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation.'

"This bow is the Divine Bow of our Ancient Image Clan, requiring a million Divine Power to draw. It has an intimidating effect, like a Heavenly Tribulation, on any exotic beast. This is especially true for Divine Beasts born with the ability to fly, such as dragons and phoenixes among the Heaven and Earth Strange Beasts; all of them will feel its intimidation."

Shan Chuan continued, "Once the bow is drawn, these types of Beast Race members will feel a strong sense of oppression. Arrows shot from this Divine Bow will inflict great damage on any beast. However, the necessary materials are too scarce, and our clan has yet to craft it. Furthermore, without an Artifact Refiner, we don't want the blueprints to be shared externally. If you need them, Benefactor, we can lend them to you for a look."

Wang Mu was silent. And Divine Bow blueprints are included too?

Upon hearing this, the woman nearby snorted coldly.

Shan Chuan hurriedly shut his mouth.

"Thank you very much," Wang Mu nodded.

Shan Chuan immediately had his clansmen fetch the blueprints and lend them to Wang Mu for inspection.

These blueprints were quite old.

As he looked them over, Wang Mu began to understand why Shan Chuan's clan had said the materials were too scarce.

The most important materials listed were four types, all at the level of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, especially the first two.

First was True Dragon Tendon. Exotic beasts that could be classified at the True Dragon Level possessed cultivation equivalent to the Nascent Soul Stage at minimum. Trying to obtain their Dragon's Tendons was practically seeking death.

Second was Phoenix Feather. Using the feathers of a True Phoenix to adorn the Divine Bow would allow it to command wind and repel water, and arrows shot from it would be unobstructed by any Magic. These were no ordinary feathers; they were the very essence of this species. If you dared to take even one, not only would the True Phoenix's cultivation plummet, but they would also ensure your ashes were scattered to the winds.

The third and fourth were two types of rare Divine Ore. The Ancient Image Clan possessed these, but they required an exchange. Alternatively, they could be mined elsewhere, though it would be difficult.

To trade for them using Mother and Child Fish, at least fifteen fish would be required.

This Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation is at least a Taoist Level Spiritual Artifact. It could even be considered a Magic Treasure.

The only advantage was that this type of Spiritual Artifact didn't have overly high requirements for its user.

A million Divine Power... I possess that much right now.

A Taoist Level Spiritual Artifact could typically only be used properly by cultivators at the Late-stage Golden Core or, at the very least, the Nascent Soul Early Stage to unleash its full efficacy.
