Primordial Harem System

He laughed with wild excitement and relief, "Hahaha heavens have eyes! Every dog has its day, these fuckers finally died after killing and looting so many travelers and caravans."

The guards and merchants also celebrated with Old Luo, some weeping as the bandits had killed their family members or close friends before.

But then begets the question, who was strong enough to wipe out all the bandits? And from the looks of it, everyone was wiped out in one single strike.

This became a question that none of them could answer, Old Luo had a guess but even he felt it to be far from likely so he didn't ponder upon it.

…

Shen Yuan left the forest behind as he continued traveling towards the Green Mountain City.

He didn't find any other obstruction inside the forest and even found a traveling merchant, who was traveling in a carriage with a spiritual beast as the mount.

It was a good thing the forest wasn't as long as it was wide, otherwise they would have to travel for a few days just to cross the forest.

Even then it took them quite some time as they left the forest when it was nighttime.

Shen Yuan also chatted with the merchant, asking about Green Mountain City and the neighboring cities.

But he didn't get much useful information aside from what he already knew from the caravan. One of the two interesting things he found was the location of the Black market.

And the other news was about a particular sect that he had been looking about for some time.

They continued traveling and chatting until they reached the outskirts of Green Mountain.

Shen Yuan stepped down from the carriage and raised his face, looking at the big mountain.

"So this is the Green Mountain, where Green Mountain City is located," he spoke aloud looking at the giant mountain, he couldn't even see the city on top of the mountain.

The merchant also looked up and said, "You sure you want to walk up alone? The city is still some distance away from here."

Shen Yuan shook his head, "You can go ahead, I want to see some locations on the way." He spoke as he wanted to see the famous wilderness of Green Mountain City, where finding herbs and medicines was as easy as picking up trash from the ground.

The merchant nodded politely and left with his carriage towards Green Mountain City.

"Yue Lan, open shop and buy the basic Alchemy manual, I want to learn how to pick up herbs." He spoke as he can now but nearly anything from the system after the upgrade.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, Host for purchasing the Basic Alchemy Manual for 5,000 Chaos Coins.]

Shen Yuan felt someone being imprinted in his sea of consciousness as the information about herb extraction, herb names, herb properties, pill names, etc appeared in his mind.

He closed his eyes to analyze all the information, but since there was too much, he only looked at the information on herb extraction and herb names.

After some time, he opened his eyes. He was now qualified to learn the Basics of Alchemy.

"Haah, I said before that I would rather find wives who know Alchemy and other professions, now it seems even truer than before." He chuckled lightly as he thought about it.

Yue Lan appeared on his shoulder and lay down, hanging her feet on both the front and back of his shoulder.

[But wouldn't you be pretty bored with nothing to do? I mean, you don't have to cultivate in seclusion for years and years like others. You will increase your cultivation from Dual Cultivation. So why not pick a few professions to master? You can also be romantic and teach it to your wives.]

Yue Lan advised him that she would be entertained as well if Shen Yuan tried to court girls using his different skills such as Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Formations, etc.

Shen Yuan thought about it for a bit, "Hmm…I will think about it, let's go up for now."

He decided to think further about it later as it wouldn't matter for now. He started running ahead on the road to reach a good forested area with a lot of greenery.

He passed by many places while running, it was already night time so the forest was dimly lit with moonlight.

However, the darkness wasn't a problem for Shen Yuan due to his enhanced senses. He continued traveling until he found a good area deeper into the jungle on the mountain.

He picked up quite a few herbs along the path but none of them were good enough for him. The herbs he picked up could at most make tier 2 pills, which were nearly useless for him.

There were various tiers of pill in the Desolate Continent, each tier of pill was effective for 2 major realms of cultivators.

Tier 1 was used by Body Forging and Qi refining realm cultivators, tier 2 was used by the Foundation Establishment realm and Inner Sea Realm…etc.

And since his cultivation was already stronger than Inner Sea Realm cultivators, the Tier 2 pills would be useless for him.

Even then he collected the lower tier herbs to trade them in the city. He could get quite a sum of spirit stones from selling them.

"Hmm…I should look for some higher-level beast territories, most higher-level herbs are protected by beasts." He used his senses to observe the surroundings.

"It would be worth the trouble if I can find a Tier 3 Herb here, even Older Tier 3 Herb would be extremely hard to find in this Green Mountain." He muttered to himself as he walked forward while sensing his surroundings.

Yue Lan, lying down comfortably on his shoulder, warned him,

[Be careful of the spiritual beasts, even a Level 7 Origin Core Creation Realm beast will be a lot stronger than the Black Viper Gang. The beasts are usually much more powerful than Humans on the same level.]

Shen Yuan chuckled, "I hope they are strong, those lowlifes couldn't even force me to use one move seriously."

Yue Lan gave him a side eye and asked,

[Wasn't that one of your strongest moves?]

Shen Yuan coughed, "No need to look at the small details."

All of a sudden he detected faint traces of pure spiritual energy. He started running in that particular direction, "Looks like we found our first target."

He soon came out of the bushes as he looked straight ahead, there was a small flower growing inside a cluster of plants, emanating a soft glow in the moonlight. There were small patches of grass growing some distance away from it.
