He meditated until nightfall, and his soul power finally recovered. He got up and knocked on Yuexi's door.

Although the room was not protected by any barriers, Ji Yun still dared not wander in recklessly.

"Hello, is Yuexi home?"

"Not here!"

"Since no one is home, I'll come in and steal something."

"If you dare come in, I'll stab you to death with my sword."

Then Ji Yun pushed open the door and entered, seeing Yue Xi sitting cross-legged, having just finished her cultivation.

"Are you still angry?" Ji Yun walked up to her.

"Aren't you afraid I'll stab you to death with my sword?" Yuexi glanced at him.

"Listen to me, my soul was injured. I thought I was going to die, so I wanted to kiss you because I was afraid I would never see you again..."

Yuexi quickly grabbed his hand to examine it: "I can't tell, is it really that serious?"

Ji Yun nodded, holding his head weakly, and said, "I felt a little better after taking the Soul-Replenishing Pill."

"Okay, then I forgive you, but you can't lick it next time." Yuexi said, putting his hand down.

"When did I lick it?" Ji Yun was taken aback.

"You lick your lips right after kissing someone, that's disgusting." Yuexi gave him a disdainful look.

"......"

After thinking about it carefully, is there such a thing? It seems not. Even if there is, why such a big reaction?

Ji Yun sat on her bed and said, "I'm cultivating here. Keep an eye on me. I'm cultivating the third stage, and the Soul Refining stage seems to be very painful. I'm afraid I won't be able to endure it."

He dared not be careless in practicing this technique, fearing that something might happen if no one was watching him. It was easy to gather the three souls, but difficult and extremely painful to refine the seven spirits.

Ji Yun activated his Dharma form, absorbing spiritual energy to begin refining his soul, constantly cleansing his chakras, and the first chakra began to turn red.

His face showed pain, as if he were being torn apart.

Yuexi's expression was solemn, and she kept observing with her divine sense.

Ji Yun instantly drained the surrounding spiritual energy, and Yue Xi quickly took out spirit stones to replenish it.

"How could this be? The speed at which spiritual energy is being absorbed is too fast!"

Yuexi couldn't help but worry. The spiritual energy couldn't keep up with the body's absorption rate. What was wrong with this cultivation technique?

Half an hour later.

Ji Yun's tempered meridians underwent a strange change, and his body flickered between light and darkness.

He was enduring immense pain, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Another hour passed.

He was drenched in sweat.

Ji Yun burst into laughter: "Yuexi, I've succeeded! I've mastered my first soul technique! Hahahaha!"

Seeing that Yuexi remained silent and her expression was somewhat serious, Ji Yun continued to laugh loudly: "Yuexi, why aren't you happy? Isn't this something to be happy about? Do you know how much pain I endured to succeed? Hahahaha, I finally succeeded..."

"Huh? Yuexi, what are you doing? Why are you freezing me in place?"

Yuexi was at a loss. Ji Yun's condition was clearly not right, so she quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? Did something go wrong with your cultivation?"

"Hahahaha... Yuexi, you're really joking. How could I have a problem? I've already succeeded, you know that, right? Come on, untie me, let's hug and celebrate."

At this moment, Ji Yun had a big smile on his face, looking forward to Yue Xi releasing him from his restraints and giving him a hug.

"Are you really alright?" Yuexi asked, still somewhat doubtful.

"It's nothing, how could anything be wrong with me? Yuexi, please untie me quickly."

Once he could move again, Ji Yun hugged Yuexi tightly and laughed, "Hahaha, I'm in a good mood today, so I'm hugging Yuexi to celebrate. Come on, let's go out and call everyone out to share the joy, let everyone... Hmm? Yuexi, what's wrong with you...?"

Ji Yun was imprisoned once again.

"Shut up, or I'll gag you." Yuexi was clearly scared and quickly picked up the cultivation manual to examine it.

There didn't seem to be any markings, so she quickly went out to ask the sect leader and others.

"You mean there was an accident during the soul refinement, and now you have mental problems? I don't know much about the soul, you should go ask the Supreme Elder."

Ye Wudao tugged at his beard, clearly this was beyond his comprehension, after all, this world knew too little about the divine soul.

Yuexi hurriedly went to the Supreme Elder's residence, but learned that he was in seclusion, so she quickly returned to her room.

Ji Yun shouted, "Yuexi, untie me! I didn't do anything!"

"Your mental state isn't right right now, stop making a scene." Yuexi was thinking of a solution; she still lacked knowledge about the soul.

"Untie me first, and I promise I won't cause trouble." Although Ji Yun didn't know why he was being accused of causing trouble, he was still prepared to listen to Yue Xi first.

Yuexi instructed, "You must not do anything or say anything reckless right now."

"Okay, I promise."

It was the middle of the night, and it wasn't a good time to go out looking for someone, so Yuexi asked, "Do you feel unwell anywhere?"

Ji Yun checked himself and shook his head: "No, I feel great, very happy."

He then smiled, intending to say something, but then shut his mouth, not wanting to be silenced again.

"How could this happen?" Yuexi scratched her head, completely bewildered by the situation.

She led Ji Yun to the library to see if there were any records.

The disciples of the library, upon recognizing Yuexi, immediately allowed her to pass.

Seeing Yuexi rummaging through things, Ji Yun hesitated for a moment and asked, "May I speak?"

"What do you want to say?" Yuexi turned to look at him.

"Hahahaha, you look so cute when you're anxious, it's hilarious... I'm sorry, I really can't hold it in, I might be having a problem."

Ji Yun snapped out of her daze and realized that something was wrong.

Seeing that he was aware of his problem, Yuexi relaxed a lot. At least, he wasn't beyond help yet.

Yuexi searched the entire library but found no record of such a situation.

The two returned to the small courtyard and stared at each other.

"Pfft, Yuexi, your eyes are so big and cute... I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it, I don't know why."

Ji Yun slapped his head. What happened?

"You won't stay like this forever, will you?" Yuexi was worried that if they couldn't find a solution, Ji Yun might just stay like this forever.

"I don't know either. The most important thing for people is to be happy. Yuexi, don't be sad. Smile, like me... hahaha." Ji Yun grinned.

"Show me your Dharma Form." Yuexi wanted to find the root of the problem.

Then Ji Yun activated his Dharma Image, a three-meter-tall image that moved vividly. At this moment, one of the seven chakras in his body was particularly red.

"The Corpse Dog in this chakra is one of the souls you've refined, isn't it?"

Ji Yun nodded: "Yes, isn't it amazing? Let me tell you, I was in a lot of pain at the time, but after I successfully tempered it, hahaha, I was so happy... just like... just like holding you."
