Chapter 2690 - 2691: Unusual Abilities

"Decorations unique to the Tea Wood Town area? That’s really hard to imagine."

Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Veronia was momentarily stunned and thought for a moment, saying while appearing to recall that when events were held in the Tea Wood Town area, the locals donned traditional ethnic attire. In reality, not only in the Tea Wood Town area, but across the entire Southern Great Xia region, the so-called ethnic clothing has experienced mutual integration and confluence in modern times.

Whether it’s because they look better or due to other considerations, Veronia wasn’t sure, but what she did know was that the so-called ethnic clothing of the Tea Wood Town area actually incorporates other cultures.

Feng Yuan’s intent was quite clear: he wanted something purely characteristic of the Tea Wood Town area, which meant going back in time to find it. If it were another place, it might have been a bit troublesome, but the existence of Li Mountain Village offered Feng Yuan a convenient option.

After all, the records of Li Mountain Village had never been altered, making it a reliable place to easily understand the ancient look and feel without Feng Yuan having to travel through the Time River into the past to find answers.

Therefore, Veronia couldn’t conceive what exactly the characteristics of the Tea Wood Town area were. Compared to now, whether they were better or worse was truly uncertain.

"Hehe, just a trial, and there’s a strange attached ultimate move. I guess they never expected this to happen."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan laughed as he spoke, while Veronia looked at Feng Yuan in puzzlement. She wasn’t at all surprised that he was aware of these yet-to-be-discovered secrets because he had that ability.

However, she didn’t quite grasp what Feng Yuan meant by an attached ultimate move.

"Hmm, what do you mean by an attached ultimate move? Could it be what I think it is?"

"Pretty much. Equipping a Spirit Beast Decoration of ancient Tea Wood Town culture allows one to temporarily master a special ultimate move, though I also don’t know what that move would be like, only that it’s culture-related."

Slightly nodding, Feng Yuan said that if it weren’t for him accessing the data, he probably wouldn’t have known that such things were hidden within the Spirit Beast Decorations. However, currently, only he could wield them, as for others?

Feng Yuan couldn’t proactively inform people on the Qi Realm timeline, as their allegiance was unclear, potentially leading to aiding the enemy. Meanwhile, for people in the Main World, making Spirit Beast Decorations wasn’t a simple task. Feng Yuan was only able to circumvent various limitations and create special Spirit Beast Decorations through crude means because of his immense strength.

Others, without Feng Yuan’s level of strength, simply couldn’t do it. Besides, Feng Yuan didn’t want to invite trouble upon himself. Rather than letting others know he possessed the ability to make Spirit Beast Decorations and consequently becoming a target for some criminal elements, it was better to say nothing, so no one would pester him.

As for others seeing Xiao Ji’s Spirit Beast Decorations, they’d probably not think too much of it, as this world is already filled with all sorts of random rare items besides the widespread existence of Spirit Beast Equipment.

Most notably, the remnants from the Mythical Era, due to its unique nature, the items that have survived to the modern day often possess some peculiar uses. And Spirit Beast Decorations only became known in Maomu City once Feng Yuan brought them back and set up archives.

In truth, not many people are aware, since most people don’t have the capability to traverse the Time River to the Qi Realm timeline to acquire these items. Without knowing the manufacturing process, few would pay attention to them.

After all, the Main World already has so many things awaiting human research, and there’s simply not enough energy to focus on an ordinary item from a time branch unless it can obviously enhance Beast Taming strength, then that’s another story.

As Feng Yuan and his companions were resting, the staff dispatched from Cha Mu Town to Li Mountain Village also arrived at their posts. Coming along with them was the defensive troops previously redirected from Bian Shui Fort.

Seeing the arrival of defensive troops, the Beastmasters stationed at Li Mountain Village felt a slight relief regarding the upcoming visitors, who they didn’t particularly care about since it didn’t concern them much.

However, the troops coming in was quite significant for them, at least with them around, these guardians of Li Mountain Village could breathe a bit easier.

After all, they were just Beastmasters, not trained soldiers. Never mind the numbers, even with a smooth collaboration, they still had to be overworked in daily patrol arrangements.

Though there was some uneasiness about Li Mountain Village becoming a tourist spot, they secretly hoped the visitors would stay longer, allowing them to take this opportunity to rest well.

Since the start of the war, they’ve been stationed here, and during this period, gone into high alert multiple times. To them, it’s been a long time since they’ve had adequate rest.

Now with the troops temporarily taking over some functions, they naturally could seize the chance to rest well, as for the news predicting the war would soon end?

They would naturally hope for that but wouldn’t take it as fact because it hadn’t happened yet. The unexpected could occur anytime, and they wouldn’t dare relax at this time.

If something were to really happen, it’d be like collapsing before dawn.

When Feng Yuan arrived at Li Mountain Village, he saw the troops were swapping posts with the stationed Beastmasters. Previously at Bian Shui Fort, Feng Yuan knew of this group of soldiers’ existence, but due to their camp being a distance away, he hadn’t seen them firsthand.

Li Mountain Village was different, where they needed to communicate with the stationed Beastmasters to confirm defense layout, and even the troop leaders intended to temporarily replace them in guarding Li Mountain Village.

Because they knew the Beastmasters of Li Mountain Village probably hadn’t had proper rest in a long time.

"Oh, didn’t expect to see you here. I’m here to visit today; it shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Waving to the leader among the soldiers, Feng Yuan asked, and before the leader could respond, the middle-aged Beastmaster in charge of coordinating the post swap replied to Feng Yuan

"No problem, esteemed guest can visit anytime, although if you need access to original archives, please contact us, as some archives are too old and aren’t stored in the archive room."

"Well, there’s no need for that; I just want to find some information about ancient culture in your Tea Wood Town area, and also take a look around your Li Mountain Village."

Feng Yuan didn’t expect the conversation to start with archive access, but it made sense. Before, those coming here were usually looking to access the archives preserved in Li Mountain Village. They couldn’t have been here to pay respects to ancestors, right?

Although the Pinli tribe is considered the ancestor of civilization in the Tea Wood Town area, it’s mainly in a cultural sense. Bloodline-wise, there are several different tribes’ bloodlines circulating throughout the Tea Wood Town area.

If there were truly rituals for the Pinli tribe’s ancestors, it’d be conducted by those at Li Mountain Village; at least in the records of the Tea Wood Town area, very few come here of their own accord to perform rituals.

Even within the villages of the Pinli lineage, rituals are conducted within their own villages and not elsewhere.

"Ancient culture materials? If you don’t need the originals, they’re over there, upstairs left at that door, there should be what you need."

The person paused for a moment before directing Feng Yuan, and they also gave a brief introduction to the structure of Li Mountain Village.

Aside from their living and resting areas, the entire village was expanded from a central giant tower-like building, extending outward with various constructions. Although the older the building, the closer it was to the center in terms of construction time, due to renovations and rebuildings, the architectural styles didn’t differ much in practice.

Older designs would have been altered or even optimized during renovations to fit new designs.

Therefore, despite the numerous buildings, the village didn’t appear chaotic.

Besides the archive building, Li Mountain Village also had many preserved ancient cultural artifacts, some placed in exhibition cases not for today’s preparations but to more conveniently check their conservation status.

These specially crafted exhibition cases not only allowed for the display of ancient artifacts but primarily provided a superior conservation environment, allowing changes in the artifacts to be detected promptly through the cases.

Hearing about the artifact exhibition, Feng Yuan became interested. Purely textual materials weren’t as intuitive. If there were artifacts, Feng Yuan was confident he could create the Spirit Beast Decorations well.

Then Feng Yuan could find out what exactly the attached ultimate move would be.
