After leaving the Shen family home, Jiang Yuan and Liu Zhaodi each had their own thoughts.

"Jiang Yuan, can Shi Yue really produce so many Void Spirit level weapons?" Liu Zhaodi asked, puzzled.

Jiang Yuan snapped out of his daze upon hearing the question and explained, "That's why I delivered the weapons in batches!"

"I still feel like I lost out!" Liu Zhaodi was very dissatisfied with this transaction. If it were her, she could definitely have negotiated a much lower price.

"My goal is not just to take over the square, but more importantly, to mobilize the Ji and Shen families' enthusiasm for resisting the beast tide! If this batch of weapons is handed over to them, their combat power will definitely increase by several levels. At that time, not only will it reduce the pressure on Nancheng, but others will also benefit from it!" Jiang Yuan analyzed from a long-term perspective.

"Okay!" Liu Zhaodi nodded, but when she saw that Jiang Yuan was still absent-minded, she cautiously asked, "What's wrong?"

"You know that Shen Lixuan from earlier, right?" Jiang Yuan's eyes were a little confused; he felt there were too many suspicious points.

"I know him, isn't he that spoiled young master from the Shen family!"

“I heard Ning Yanlan say that she was engaged to Shen Lixuan, and that her sect was wiped out because of the Shen family. It was also because of the Shen family that the warlord got involved with Yanlan! But today, what Shen Chengye said is different from what I know!” Jiang Yuan said with a puzzled expression. After negotiating with the Shen family, Shen Chengye talked about his son, but it was clear that what he said was different from what Ning Yanlan said.

First, there's the Guamen (卦门), a force little known, even Shen Chengye knew nothing about it. Then there's the marriage agreement; it wasn't arranged by the Ning and Shen families, but rather proposed by Ning Yanlan, who suddenly appeared in Nancheng a few months ago. Finally, there's the relationship between the warlord and Ning Yanlan. Shen Chengye met Ning Yanlan before the cataclysm. At that time, the Crimson Blood Army was just a system within Nancheng, but even then, Ning Yanlan's status within the system was incredibly high, surpassing even Yin Cha's, let alone Sima Sheng's.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a marriage contract, it's nothing!" Liu Zhaodi advised.

"Really?" Jiang Yuan frowned.

"Of course! Men are all so petty. When it comes to the women they care about, their minds are only this small!" Liu Zhaodi even made a gesture to show how petty Jiang Yuan was.

"Are you sure I'm petty?" Jiang Yuan said, feigning anger, and tightened his grip on Liu Zhaodi slightly.

"You say you're cunning? I just told you the truth and you retaliated against me!" Liu Zhaodi twisted her body, trying to escape from his embrace.

"No, no, no, I was just kidding!"

Jiang Yuan immediately regained his composure and said, "Have you refined all the Purple Spirit Pills I gave you last time along with the cultivation scrolls?"

"Guess!" Liu Zhaodi said mysteriously.

"The combined energy of the two systems has reached 9,113, not bad, and I've even made a breakthrough!" Jiang Yuan praised after detecting it.

"Isn't that amazing!"

After Liu Zhaodi finished speaking, she buried her head in Jiang Yuan's arms. When it came to being coquettish, Liu Zhaodi had never lost.

"Can it be increased further?" After learning about the energy patterns, Jiang Yuan's attention to the spirit realm barrier reached an unprecedented level. It can be said that the upper limit of the spirit realm barrier determines the peak height that the spirit awakener can reach in the future.

“One person might not be enough, but if you stay by my side, I think it should be worth two or three hundred more!” Liu Zhaodi stared at Jiang Yuan with her smiling, affectionate eyes.

“You have the Chosen One's Heart of Fusion, plus it’s mutated soul energy, so your Spirit Realm barrier should be able to stabilize at 9,400. If you push your soul energy to its limit, you might be able to push the Spirit Realm barrier to 9,500 or 9,600 with a single type of soul energy!” Jiang Yuan calculated for a moment, then looked up and said, “Don’t be lazy tonight, I’ll help you catch up on your studies!”

The quality of soul energy affects the spiritual barrier. For example, Leng Yue's soul energy is of ordinary quality, so she reached her limit at 9,358, making further improvement almost impossible. Liu Zhaodi, on the other hand, possesses mutated soul energy, and with the Heart of Fusion, she can use the fragments of the Soul-Suppressing Stele to enhance her spiritual barrier.

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaodi pursed her lips, and after a while, she smiled playfully and said, "Tonight! Private tutor! Individual tutoring! It seems like I've seen this kind of plot somewhere before?"

"You..." Jiang Yuan's lips twitched. What on earth was going on in this woman's head?

"Then where should we go for tutoring? My house? Your house? Or perhaps, the office?" Liu Zhaodi asked, her lips slightly parted, her eyes full of allure.

Jiang Yuan rubbed his temples, unmoved by the teasing, and simply said, "You're all talk now, but don't cry later!"

"You wouldn't really bear to bully someone, would you!"

Faced with Liu Zhaodi's relentless pursuit, Jiang Yuan simply led her to the bronze gate, where he could utilize the power of the world's veins to help Liu Zhaodi achieve the fastest cultivation efficiency.

"sit down!"

Jiang Yuan had already communicated with the Myriad Realms Origin Dragon. Although Liu Zhaodi could not enter the space of the Battlefield Origin, he could draw upon the power of the World Pulse through the bronze gate and guide it to Liu Zhaodi.

Looking at the dim lighting and the eerie atmosphere, Liu Zhaodi asked guiltily, "You're not really going to bully me, are you?"

"Are you scared? You were quite the smooth talker just now!" Jiang Yuan remained unmoved and continued spreading out the cultivation scroll. He also needed to cultivate, but today his focus was on Liu Zhaodi.

Liu Zhaodi glanced guiltily at her surroundings and said weakly, "I don't know if anyone can hear me if I shout for help here?"

Give me your hand!

Although Jiang Yuan spoke in a questioning tone, he actually grabbed Liu Zhaodi's hand before she could agree, and then instructed her, "Your spiritual energy can no longer be improved, so this time we'll focus on improving your soul energy! While I'm helping you improve your soul energy, you must use the Heart of Fusion to break through the spiritual barrier, or else you'll see how I deal with you!"
