The Soul-Stabilizing Pearl does not have the effect of making a soul complete. If it did, Yang Yitian would not have needed to reincarnate in the first place. Therefore, the conclusion that Yang Mengqiu became a complete soul because of the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl is unfounded.

Yang Mengqiu's soul test was complete, which means that he was originally a complete soul and was not a split soul of Yang Yitian at all!

After listening to Qi Zhiheng's analysis, Yang Yitian was somewhat stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? What could I mean? What I mean is that Yang Mengqing is not your divided soul at all!" Qi Zhiheng said somewhat irritably, "We made a mistake from the very beginning."

Because Yang Mengqiu is not a split soul of Yang Yitian, Yang Yitian has no control over her. This also explains why Yang Yitian cannot merge with Yang Mengqiu.

"If it's not my divided soul, then what exactly am I sensing?" Yang Yitian paced back and forth, pondering for a moment before saying, "Should I go back again?" He didn't know if it was too late to go back now; perhaps the treasure he sensed had already run away.

Qi Zhiheng poked his forehead with his finger, sighed, and said, "Don't you think Yang Mengqing is a bit strange?"

"Of course I know he's strange, isn't he mentally challenged?" Yang Yitian said, as if to say, "Don't take me for a fool."

Qi Zhiheng covered his face and explained, "Yang Mengqiu is not your split soul, but Yang Mengqing, whose soul is incomplete, may be your split soul."

"There's no reason for this. I was clearly in the city when I received the sensation, and the last soul I left behind was Yang Mengqiu's. I haven't received any more sensations since then." Yang Yitian couldn't understand it.

Qi Zhiheng explained, "Yang Mengqiu didn't enter reincarnation even in the capital. Besides the possibility that it's a fragment of your soul, it's also possible that he has unfulfilled wishes." When one is deeply attached to something, one may be unable to reincarnate. His attachment to Yang Mengqing is very likely the reason why he cannot enter reincarnation.

"What about what I sensed? It couldn't have evaporated, could it?" Yang Yitian patted his head, unable to recall anything else he might have overlooked. "Besides, after I found Yang Mengqiu, that feeling of being summoned disappeared."

Indeed, it was precisely for this reason that Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian believed that their purpose in coming here was Yang Mengqiu.

Qi Zhiheng explained, "What you sense might not be what you truly sense. Have you ever considered that this might be the sensation of your divided soul?"

"What my split soul sensed was transmitted to me? Is that possible?" Yang Yitian asked with some doubt.

Qi Zhiheng: "It's highly likely. Although your divided soul is an ordinary person, it should still have some premonition about danger, otherwise it wouldn't have stopped Yang Mengqiu when she went out. And your senses should also be the senses of your divided soul. The reason you have such a strong sense is probably because your divided soul sensed a crisis for its blood brother, which is why it led you there."

Yang Yitian exclaimed in disbelief, "Is that even possible? But isn't he mentally challenged? How could he be so thoughtful?"

Qi Zhiheng: "Of course. For cultivators, sometimes there is no need to think. Instinct comes faster than thought. After all, you used to be a powerful being. Although I don't know what your cultivation level was before, cultivators have an instinct to sense danger and can also sense those related to them by blood. If we cannot arrive in time, Yang Mengqiu will probably disappear soon."

If that's the case, Qi Zhiheng's guess might be true, and Yang Yitian fell silent.

Having understood the current situation, the two faced new troubles.

Yang Mengqing is not dead yet; if she is not dead, she cannot merge with Yang Yitian.

"What a vicious cycle!" Yang Yitian said, somewhat frustrated. "Forget it, I'm going to eat now! Let's talk about this troubling issue later!"

Yang Mengqiu was also at a loss. He originally thought that he was the split soul, but according to the two people, his elder brother was the split soul. This made him nervous. What if the two people killed his elder brother in order to merge the split souls?

Yang Mengqiu didn't mind being merged with Yang Yitian. After being merged with Yang Yitian, he could still take care of his older brother. But if the person being merged with was his older brother, he would be a little worried.

What reassured him somewhat was that Yang Yitian didn't seem to have any intention of killing anyone and had already gone to eat.

"We'll discuss this later. You should also rest in the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl for a while." Qi Zhiheng noticed Yang Mengqiu's unease, took out the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl, and Yang Mengqiu climbed inside.

Qi Zhiheng took Yang Mengqing out to eat. Since Yang Mengqing was still in a mortal body, she naturally ate the food for testing the medicine. However, because he was a mortal, he could not eat spiritual vegetables and rice with too much spiritual energy, so he specially prepared food with less spiritual energy.

The triplets were very curious about Yang Mengqing. The second child asked, "Daddy, isn't this grandpa our father?"

Da Bao said, "Father's father is grandfather."

Sanbao: "But Grandpa is younger than this Grandpa."

The triplets' grandfather was naturally Qi Zhenhe, who, due to his cultivation, also appeared very young. Yang Mengqiu, on the other hand, looked much older than Qi Wantian, the eldest member of their family.

In terms of average lifespan, Yang Mengqing wouldn't live much longer. The past year of hunger and cold has taken a toll on his health, and he might not live as long as most people. He's already in his thirties, and with Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian's interference, he might only live another thirty-odd years before dying. But they don't know if they'll just let him die; they'll likely try to help him recover.

After Yang Mengqing finished eating, she started clamoring for a house. The original house looked like it was about to collapse, so how could Qi Zhiheng dare to let her move in? Did he really want Yang Mengqing to live in a dangerous house and get crushed to death before merging with Yang Yitian?

Left with no other choice, Qi Zhiheng had to ask Gu Qinglin to renovate the dilapidated house and turn the materials into a magical artifact, at least making it sturdy enough for people to live in.

Now that Yang Mengqing probably won't leave directly, Qi Zhiheng thought for a moment and asked Gu Qinglin to help him refine a puppet body, leaving his elder brother to take care of himself.

Qi Zhiheng didn't take Yang Yitian's troubles to heart. As cultivators, they had plenty of time. Waiting for a mortal to die of old age was not a problem at all. He comforted him, "It's alright. When we leave, we can just take him with us. At worst, we can put him in my space."

Although Yang Yitian was still a little disappointed that he couldn't merge with his split soul, it was better than not being able to find his own split soul at all, so he had no choice but to relax.

Yang Mengqiu was very satisfied with his new body. Compared to his soul body, he was in much better condition now. He could take care of his older brother personally and didn't have to worry about making a living.

His body was exactly the same as his original appearance. When he came into contact with his elder brother, Yang Mengqing had no resistance at all. She knew that this was her second brother and was very obedient to his words.

After Gu Qinglin refined their strange house into a magical artifact, he placed it next to Yang Yitian's house, and the two brothers lived there.

Yang Mengqiu lived in the puppet during the day, and after he fell asleep at night, he would return to the Soul-Stabilizing Pearl to rest. His days went very smoothly, and so he continued to live like this.

When Qi Zhiheng was summoned by the sect leader, the Lu Shen Sect and other sects had already demanded a large sum of compensation from the Shenmu Sect and Tianyuan Sect. Moreover, Que Hanhai had also made deals with some sects, exchanging the formula for treating the Netherworld Fungus for a considerable amount of resources. Que Hanhai decided to reward Qi Zhiheng with some of these resources. If it weren't for Qi Zhiheng, they wouldn't have received these resources this time.

The reward bestowed upon Qi Zhiheng amounted to a full third of this harvest. Among them, the most abundant items were spiritual herbs.

Qi Zhiheng accepted it without hesitation. Que Hanhai also asked Qi Zhiheng to help refine some pills. It was a good opportunity to give Qi Zhiheng the resources. Qi Zhiheng certainly wouldn't refuse now!

Qi Zhiheng smiled as he held the spirit herbs. In fact, Que Hanhai was overthinking it. Even under normal circumstances, he was happy to help refine pills, as the pills he refined could be exchanged for a lot of spirit herbs!

After giving the items to Qi Zhiheng, Que Hanhai didn't forget to tell him about the expressions on the faces of those sects when they learned that the solution was virgin urine. He couldn't help but laugh as he spoke, completely lacking the dignity of a sect leader.

However, Qi Zhiheng could imagine the strange expressions on the faces of those powerful people.

Recently, those forces have been frantically cleaning up the Netherworld Fungus in their own territories, so they haven't had much time to bother them.

During this time, Qi Zhiheng also received guests.

These guests are representatives of Buddhist practitioners from various temples!

The mushrooms that Qi Zhiheng traded with Wuchen Temple last time caused the temple's Buddhist cultivators to experience a significant breakthrough in their cultivation after eating them! Light attribute and Buddhist comprehension are inseparable, and most Buddhist cultivators do not have light spiritual roots! This has led to a considerable reduction in the power of their techniques.

Now that there's something that can compensate for their lack of light spiritual roots, they are naturally very enthusiastic.

Of course, the mushrooms he grows are not the only things that can make up for the deficiency of light spiritual roots, but these mushrooms are their first choice.

It's not that fake mushrooms are particularly potent, but rather that they are more abundant and easier to cultivate compared to other light-attribute spiritual plants!

A large number of them grow easily, enough to supply many Buddhist practitioners with food, and they can eat some at every meal!

The main reason so many Buddhist practitioners came here this time was to discuss the business of fake ghost bacteria.

The reason they didn't just pick them directly was because these false ghost fungi and ghost fungi share the same characteristic: once they're picked, the spiritual energy inside will return to the earth and cause new mushrooms to grow.

The only person who knew how to harvest the fruit was Qi Zhiheng, so they had no choice but to come to him.
