In the following days, besides his regular martial arts training, Lu Yuan spent all his energy and thoughts on studying the jade piece.
He tried all sorts of peculiar and bizarre methods to activate the jade piece.
From enchantments, meditation, blood refining, burning, smashing with stones, trying to influence with his aura... all he could think of and had seen in novels before were attempted.
He even tried some of the magic circles and instrument tracks recorded in the Taoist classics he read in this world.
However, all were to no avail.
Except for proving that the jade piece was indeed extraordinary, impervious to fire and water, indestructible by external forces, and incredibly solid, Lu Yuan made no further progress.
This result left him quite despondent.
But along with this despondency, Lu Yuan gradually realized what he was lacking.
