Chapter 2691 - 2692: Tedious Records

The Beastmasters stationed at Li Mountain Village didn’t pay special attention to Feng Yuan; in fact, at this moment, aside from adjusting their deployment to rest, they had no interest in who the visitors might be.

Perhaps the only thing that they cared about was that Feng Yuan’s arrival allowed them a brief respite, as there were so few Beastmasters, they hadn’t had the chance to get a good night’s sleep for quite some time.

As for what Feng Yuan was doing here? Besides exhibiting artifacts, those archives are copied editions, unlike the originals; these replicas were made for casual reading, and every year, they replace the damaged copies with new ones.

As long as Feng Yuan isn’t setting Li Mountain Village on fire, there’s no need for concern about his actions here. As for the originals? They’re stored in a specialized place for protection and preservation, a place that Beastmasters below the Legendary Level would find difficult to damage.

If Feng Yuan insists on going there, they would naturally respond, but Feng Yuan had no interest in the originals; he merely wanted to check some materials, whether original or not made no difference.

Knowing the location of the archives, Feng Yuan didn’t hesitate to go directly to seek out the material he wanted. If Agunas were by his side, Feng Yuan wouldn’t have needed the hassle, as Agunas, who manages the tomes, could directly call up the information; unfortunately, Agunas is one of the main forces of the United Army and is currently busy with the Imperial Timeline.

Watching Feng Yuan search for information, Veronia recalled Agunas and couldn’t help but chuckle. During the Mythical Era, Veronia frequently participated in various battles and led the charge, whereas Agunas and their kind were different. Although they didn’t merely defend, their proactive attacks were relatively sparse.

Now roles have reversed, with Veronia not joining this battle, whereas the formerly "peace-loving" Agunas now busily leads the army to siege and conquer.

Of course, Veronia also understood that Agunas was not fighting out of a love for battle, but because only in this way could further damage to the Main World’s order be prevented.

Destroying the tributary of time is seen as a last resort, and until it gets to that point, no Divine Beast would agree to such an action, since the repercussions from destroying a time tributary would disrupt the entire Time River, likely causing continuous impacts and damage to the order of the Main World.

To avoid reaching that desperate point, Agunas and their kind decided to mobilize humans to clear the uncooperative Imperial Timeline; as for the War Timeline?

If those opposing parties kept the flames of war contained within a certain scope without severely disrupting the order of the Main World, Agunas and their kind truly might not intervene, as wars among humans are not something Divine Beasts favor getting involved in, let alone taking sides.

"Hmm, there is plenty of material, yet it hasn’t been organized."

Looking for a while, Feng Yuan said with some headache, although the materials here were very comprehensive, it was precisely because of this that finding what Feng Yuan needed was troublesome because each archive was recorded by year and region, containing all sorts of content, while Feng Yuan needed only a small part of it.

"Ahem, we don’t have the capability to quickly organize the materials for you."

Lost in thoughts, Veronia overheard Feng Yuan’s complaint and glanced at him, as if it were Agunas, organizing these materials quickly would be a breeze; they simply didn’t possess the ability or authority.

"Hey, I know, it’s just a bit troublesome..."

Smiling, Feng Yuan wasn’t angry; he was simply complaining as this matter was insignificant and his own responsibility, so it didn’t require Veronia and others to get involved.

Glancing at Xiao Ji beside him, Feng Yuan didn’t choose to give up, as Xiao Ji was quite eager for what he intended to make, it’s just flipping through some archives... since there’s nothing urgent, he might as well press on!

Encouraging himself inwardly, Feng Yuan resumed sifting through the archives, utilizing special power to transcribe the useful segments onto a designated record book.

"Ha, truly a hassle... thinking it was simple, yet the execution becomes so hard."

Slumped over the table, Feng Yuan lamented with an expression of frustration, as he’s been sifting through the materials all day, yet the compiled data still failed to meet the production requirements. After all, it was merely a few years’ worth of archives.

Feng Yuan didn’t understand why the requirements for that item were so unique, but this revelation clarified why the Qi Realm Timeline never discovered its existence because it’s indeed not something an ordinary person can create.

Crafting that special Spirit Beast Decoration is theoretically straightforward yet stringent; it involves precise tribal cultural components that cannot afford inaccuracies or pure fabrications.

Moreover, it cannot pertain to merely a singular period; a comprehensive and unbroken cultural inheritance spanning at least three hundred years is necessary to meet the production criteria.

Naturally, this aspect isn’t particularly challenging; experts dedicated to cultural history can effortlessly meet these conditions, but such individuals wouldn’t be idly crafting Spirit Beast Decorations.

Unless someone like Feng Yuan uses strength to sidestep the multitude of restrictions in the Spirit Beast Decoration crafting process, even those familiar with this craft would need at least three days to create one.

However, purely handmade Spirit Beast Decorations are considered premium items on the Qi Realm Timeline, and their prices, compared to what Feng Yuan and they saw in the shops, are notably higher.

What’s sold in shops is mostly industrial, fully automated assembly line products, whose quality is inferior yet affordable and produced in large volumes. Unfortunately, they cannot fulfill certain special requirements that demand unique items.

The multitude of restrictions made Feng Yuan feel that the crafting difficulty wasn’t high, yet across the Qi Realm Timeline, this type of special Spirit Beast Decoration has never been produced.

No way around it, creating them under such restrictions is virtually impossible.

"Ahem, you could give up if it proves too difficult."

Veronia spoke such words as she glanced at Xiao Ji, and seeing Feng Yuan placing a hand on Xiao Ji’s head, his face showed helplessness as he said

"Can’t give up, just a bit troublesome, anyway, since I haven’t planned to go elsewhere, I’ll just keep looking at the archives here."

"Aren’t you planning to check out the exhibition room and relax with those artifacts?"

Lightly scoffing, Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan, then stretched her body. Feng Yuan lightly patted Xiao Ji, saying

"Sure, these materials can’t be sorted out quickly. A bit of relaxation first sounds good."

Saying this, Feng Yuan casually scooped up Xiao Ji, hugging it as its tail feathers slightly moved. Xiao Ji didn’t resist; it awoke the dozing Fluffy Fire Wolfhound beside it, as Feng Yuan directly stepped out of the archive room. As for the materials left on the table?

According to the introduction, they can be left as they are; no one will touch them as Feng Yuan isn’t the only one who comes here to check dossiers. Examining them over several days is quite common.

Like Feng Yuan, people often examine and transcribe the needed materials, so no one bothers tidying the table in the archive room; they just need to return the files to their original location before leaving, otherwise it’s a hassle for both parties.

The entire Li Mountain Village has a fortress-like structure centered around an ancient tower-style village building, with the left being the archive and the right serving as the exhibition hall preserving artifacts. Moreover, the Beastmaster residences at Li Mountain Village are concentrated on the right side, as compared to the archives, the exhibition contains the true antiquities.

Regarding the position of the original archives, Feng Yuan wasn’t aware and had no intent to probe that information since it was irrelevant to him. Probing for such information only leads to unnecessary trouble.

Passing through the aerial corridors toward the right side of Li Mountain Village, Feng Yuan noticed that although night had fallen, the entire exhibition hall was illuminated with lights, unlike the need to manually switch on lights on the left side, the right can be described as brilliantly lit.

"Tsk, made it so obvious, everyone knows it’s more important here, huh?"

With hands on his hips, Feng Yuan couldn’t help but comment as Veronia glanced at him, saying

"Who’s going to attack here?"

"Seems so..."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan chuckled, as Li Mountain Village is somewhat unique, yet attacking this place... is truly pointless. Moreover, the artifacts themselves don’t possess substantial commercial value; even if someone targets them, the profits are unlikely, only leading to big trouble.

"Let’s go, perhaps these things might inspire some ideas."

No longer contemplating, Feng Yuan briskly moved toward the exhibition room, hoping it might suddenly spark creativity enough to craft that special Spirit Beast Decoration.
