After all, they have come to regard this space as their home, as their territory.

It's always a bit unpleasant to suddenly learn that you might be merging with someone else's territory without knowing anything about them.

Beneath this dissatisfaction lies a sense of worry.

They suspected that Yun Zhiyi might give up her mission participant status, and the Administration Bureau might want to reclaim her space through other mission participants.

This was also Yun Zhiyi's first thought.

The Authority cannot break the contract, but it can achieve its goals through other means if it so desires.

She just didn't think that such an ordinary space could be of interest to the Administration Bureau.

Or is there some secret hidden in this space?

She took another closer look at it.

The space had completely merged with her soul.

If anything were to change, she couldn't possibly fail to notice.

Unless this change is something that already existed in space.

In other words, she didn't appear after she returned to her original world, but existed from the very beginning.

So why is it only now coming to light?

She felt no unease whatsoever.

Therefore, this anomaly is not necessarily a bad thing.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that perception may be blocked.

After much thought, she still had no solution, so she put the matter aside for the time being.

Just tell everyone to pay more attention in their daily lives.

If this happens again, let her know immediately.

Then he went back to find Mu Tong.

Mu Tong was locked in a small wooden hut next to the medicinal herb field.

As soon as she arrived, the spiritual plants in the medicinal field swayed and greeted her.

She smiled and conjured a shower of green light that fell down.

The plants were even happier.

Various chattering group messages were frantically flooding her mind.

She could only block it for now.

Upon entering the wooden house, one sees Mu Tong sitting cross-legged, entering a meditative state.

He wasn't tied up, but he couldn't leave the cabin either.

He still doesn't know where he is, only that he's been locked up somewhere by the Tiger Head Gang.

Food is delivered every day.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see, hear, or speak, and didn't know who was coming.

But he soon discovered that the food was slowly healing his internal injuries.

Occasionally, he would also be fed some strange pills.

Sometimes it's comfortable, sometimes it's painful.

Gradually, he realized that he might be being used as a drug user.

People who work in the pharmaceutical industry never have a good ending; they often die amidst various forms of suffering and torment.

In order to save himself, Mu Tong had no choice but to desperately cultivate whenever he had the chance.

Fortunately, many of the medicines had a significant effect on improving his physical condition and internal strength.

Just yesterday, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had broken through a small realm.

He has been stuck in the Acquired Realm for a long time.

I thought I had no hope of ever taking another step forward in this life.

Who knew that the barrier would start to loosen?

Now he is working every day to break through that barrier.

He didn't notice Yun Zhiyi when she came over.

Within the space, she could completely conceal her aura and become one with the space.

Even the most perceptive cultivator could not sense the slightest trace of her aura.

Until she walked over and placed her hand on Mu Tong's wrist.

The supernatural power quickly entered his body.

Mu Tong was startled and instinctively wanted to make a move.

But it stopped quickly.

He knew it was the pharmacist who had treated him like medicine.

Unlike the initial anger and resistance.

He is now filled with excitement and anticipation.

He longed to speak with the pharmacist and learn more.

Unfortunately, he couldn't speak and didn't dare to move freely.

He could only open his unfocused eyes wide and 'look' at the pharmacist, hoping that the other party could unlock his five senses.

After checking on his physical condition, Yun Zhiyi got up and left.

Mu Tong's level of skill has indeed shown a clear weakening.

This shows that she is on the right track.

But there are still some problems.

This loosening has a noticeable stagnation; even if the dosage is increased to help it break through, it will likely cause irreversible damage to the foundation.

It's possible that you'll never be able to break through again and will be stuck at that level forever.

The recipe definitely needs to be changed.

As she pondered, she slowly moved among the spiritual plants.

The spirit plants affectionately lifted her clothes to greet her.

Unfortunately, after going around in circles, I still had no clue.

They then returned to the grasslands to continue their Mid-Autumn Festival BBQ.

She spent this Mid-Autumn Festival in a very ordinary and low-key manner.

But elsewhere, her name was constantly being spoken.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the capital was very lively at this time.

Singing and dancing filled the air, glasses clinked, and laughter echoed continuously.

Actually, it's no different from usual; it's just the same old shows.

However, this year is a little different.

That is, there were some fruits and vegetables that I had never seen before at the banquet.

A huge, snake-scaled, somewhat terrifying-looking sphere was brought up.

At first, everyone thought it was some kind of giant snake egg.

Some imaginative people even thought that His Majesty had discovered a dragon egg or a real dragon egg somewhere.

It wasn't until the 'giant egg' was cut open, revealing the pink flesh with tiny white seeds inside, that the row of ministers and nobles who had been lost in thought were dumbfounded.

It looks so much like a winter melon.

But how could a cold melon have such a strange skin, and be so big?

It wasn't until His Majesty said that this was a new variety of cold melon cultivated by someone, called the Overlord Melon.

The crowd suddenly realized what was happening, and then they all became curious.

Emperor Zhengkang was not stingy and gave everyone a small piece.

Of course, not everyone gets a share.

A giant melon may look big, but if you cut it into small pieces, even if each person only takes two bites, there will only be a hundred pieces at most.
