Li Wunian examined the magic weapon. Upon opening it, he felt a chilling aura; it could only be considered a storage cabinet.

"Hey, junior sister, where's your stuff? Didn't you put anything in there?"

Yuexi smiled: "I just got it, and I haven't even gone to the outer realms yet. I still have some things; I'll give you some that you haven't tried before."

I took out some snacks from my storage bag. That's one of the good things about the outer realms—there's so much food to eat.

I don't know why, but Ji Yun doesn't really like to eat. Maybe she doesn't appreciate what she has and is just being lazy.

While eating, Li Wunian asked, "Does your master cultivate a soul technique? That must be dangerous."

Yuexi also said with some worry, "I've tried to persuade him, but he won't listen to me."

"How could I not listen to you? Aren't you two Daoist partners?" Li Wunian asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yuexi suddenly widened her eyes: "What are you talking about? Who is a Daoist partner? How could my master and I be together?"

Li Wunian: "???"

They're practically cuddling and whispering sweet nothings, how could it be impossible? Who are you kidding, little junior sister?

"My relationship with Master is completely innocent, don't talk nonsense." Yuexi handed her a White Rabbit milk candy.

Li Wunian nodded: "Yes, I understand. Actually, even if it does, it's fine. Although it violates our morals and etiquette, it's not without precedent. So, junior sister, you don't need to worry about anything. Just do it boldly."

"What do you mean by 'do it boldly'? What are you talking about, Senior Sister? Even candy can't shut you up." Yuexi felt a little guilty, but then she remembered that they were just ordinary friends, so she felt relieved.

Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy caused the tea set on the table to wobble.

Ji Yun's body was covered in a Dharma image with his hands forming a mudra, and all the meridians in his body had turned light blue, with all the acupoints in his body now open.

The image of the Dharma was lifelike and moving, unlike before when it was like a lifeless object.

Yuexi took out a handful of spirit stones and smashed them all, instantly filling the entire room with spiritual energy.

Ji Yun then absorbed all of it, slowly retracted the Dharma form, exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and opened his eyes again.

"The gathering of souls is complete. The day when we sweep across the heavens is just around the corner."

"......"

"......"

Yuexi said softly, "Can you please not be so childish?"

"You're amazing, senior! I admire you!" Li Wunian praised enthusiastically.

Ji Yun was overjoyed. In a short time, he had successfully gathered his soul, and his strength was comparable to that of a Qi Refining Stage Perfection cultivator.

If he were just a lowly Qi Refining stage cultivator, he would have racked his brains for a few spirit stones. He was lucky to have met Yue Xi, and with a few thousand spirit stones he invested, his cultivation level soared.

"I need to acquire some soul skills, otherwise I'll be completely powerless and just have a lifetime of supernatural powers but no fighting ability."

Yuexi said, "Soul skills are very rare. We need to go to Tianxin City to see if we can find any. I've exchanged all my contribution points for spirit stones, so I can go to Tianxin City and see if we can find any."

"Senior, are you starting to cultivate your divine soul? You're already so strong, why are you still cultivating your divine soul? Are the enemies from beyond the realm very strong?"

Li Wunian felt like a salted fish. Even powerful beings like him were working so hard, while he... sigh.

Ji Yun was at a loss for words, mainly because Yue Xi was there, and it wouldn't make sense for him to ramble on.

"By the way, you need Soul Nourishing Pills for the first breakthrough. Have you bought any of these pills?"

"Yes, these kinds of pills to strengthen the soul aren't expensive. They can be bought for five hundred spirit stones. I've seen them at the pill shop before." Yuexi had a good memory; she had seen them before when she bought pills.

Ji Yun scratched his head. While the other main characters were adept at alchemy, weapon crafting, and formations, he said, "I want to learn alchemy and weapon crafting."

Yuexi thought for a moment, then said earnestly, "These things require talent. You... Senior Sister, you should go back first. I want to talk to Master."

Ji Yun sat on the table, and the mirror next to him was shaking wildly. He picked it up and saw many messages.

"Wow, it even has a shake function."

Yuexi also leaned over to look.

Stranger: What's your cultivation level? Haven't you ascended yet?

"Stranger: You're so terrible. You're already an ancestor, yet your cultivation level is still so low."

Stranger: Have you finished your cultivation?

Stranger: You're not going into seclusion, are you? Don't be discouraged. Even though your cultivation is weak, seclusion won't help. You'll still be weak.

"Warning: Your opponent is about to unleash an invincible divine punch, leaving you trembling!"

Yuexi looked at Ji Yun and said in surprise, "This person talks so much, like a little child."

Ji Yun: Why do you talk so much? Are you a child?

The other party replied immediately.

Stranger: You're talking nonsense! Who's the child? I'm all grown up.

Ji Yun laughed and said, "This is undoubtedly a child, probably from the lineage of that Holy King. Never mind, let's ignore him."

Yuexi then said, "Your soul is strong enough to learn how to refine talismans, but weapon crafting requires a high level of talent and a long time to learn."

Refining talismans consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Senior Sister Lanlan spent a year and a half refining just a few, which she then used to exchange for cultivation resources such as spirit stones and pills.

"If you want to learn, you can ask Senior Sister Lanlan to teach you. She has a high level of talent."

Ji Yun's eyes lit up: "Okay, let's go find Lan Lan. Hmm, which peak is Lan Lan on again?"

Yuexi stood up, paused for a moment, and asked, "Didn't you read the book? I knew it. You said you didn't specifically watch people drive, but you didn't even know that. I've seen through you."

"I already said, I read books quickly, who pays attention to those details, like the sun, moon, and stars? I can't remember them. We old bookworms only pick out the key information, and we subconsciously ignore the trivial details. You'll see next time you read it."

Ji Yun wasn't exaggerating this time. As a bookworm for over a decade, he reads incredibly fast. So what if an author writes a chapter in three hours? I can finish it in a minute, and I'll still feel like it's not long enough. If there are any toxic parts or I don't enjoy reading it, I'll have to complain a bit.

"Elder Bai Xiao is the peak master of Sunset Peak."

Ningyue Peak is our mountain.

Zhaixing Peak is headed by Elder Yu Xingzhi.

At Wuchen Peak, Elder Chen Shu is the peak master.

Lingyun Peak, with the Seventh Elder as its peak master, is also the main peak.

Yuexi explained it to him again, so that he wouldn't keep forgetting. Besides being good at lying, he also had a bad memory, much worse than hers.

Ji Yun searched his memory: "I know, Li Wunian is from the Star-Picking Peak next door, but I can't remember Lan Lan..."

“Lan Lan is on the main peak, where the competition for resources among the disciples is fierce. Senior Sister Lan Lan is also quite easy-going and quiet, which is why she learned talismans in exchange for cultivation resources.”

A smile appeared on Yuexi's face as she recalled her past with Senior Sister Lanlan.

Ji Yun whispered to her, "I just want to drive with you."

Yuexi's smile vanished, her eyes widened, and she pointed at him, shouting, "You...you...you...I'm going to find Master! You're finished! I'll tell Master Zuo you bullied me! I'm going to expose you! You're finished..."
