Chapter 66: The day when the soul and spirit are harmonious is the day when the soul is transferred to another body...
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Fuyue saw that Chu Ye's expression changed, and the gentle smile that originally showed joy faded and became a little nervous.
Chu Ye was brought back to his senses by her words. He calmed himself down and calmly put the palm leaf into his mustard seed bag. He tried his best to put on a reassuring smile and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. I was just too happy and was a little dazed for a moment."
Mu Fuyue looked at him and blinked, her expression still showing some worry and uneasiness. It was clear that she couldn't completely believe his casual explanation.
But she was always understanding. Seeing that he didn't want to tell her, she didn't insist on asking. She just smiled, regaining her cheerful demeanor, and changed the subject, saying, "Big Brother, is everything going well in the sect recently? Is the headmaster in good health?"
"Everyone is doing well, but without you, it doesn't feel as friendly as before." Chu Ye explained patiently. He knew that she must be feeling lost and uneasy because of his departure, and he did not forget to comfort her.
"Master, the headmaster, is still not in good health. To be honest, when I advanced and took fellow disciples and sisters out of the sect on missions, Master was so exhausted that he had to intervene. However, he's probably recuperating and has been feeling better recently. Although Master doesn't mention you often, I can tell that he sometimes feels distressed. He must be thinking about you. After all, Master used to value you the most."
Hearing that everyone was still thinking about her, Mu Fuyue's anxiety was obviously relieved a little.
"Big Brother, thank you for saying that." She lowered her eyes, looking a little happy, but also a little disappointed. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she asked cautiously and tentatively, "Junior Brother—Xinghe, how is he these days?"
Chu Ye watched her expression change and found the shadow of another person in that familiar face.
But her expression, her gentle, understanding smile, her caring eyes, always seemed to have something wrong.
He frowned, secretly blaming himself for being so distracted. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly shook off these strange thoughts and answered her.
"Xinghe is still the same as before, diligent in his training. However, because of what happened to you, he has always felt guilty, and he seems to be much calmer."
Mentioning Song Xinghe, Chu Ye paused, thinking of the closeness between him and Mu Fuyue in the past, and said, "If you want to see him, I will send a message to him."
Mu Fuyue looked at him and didn't answer directly. Instead, she asked, "Then, Senior Brother, do you want me to see him? If it will make you unhappy, then I won't see him."
Chu Ye was stunned, and then he recalled the past.
In the past, because of Mu Fuyue, there was always a grudge between him and Song Xinghe, but as the eldest brother, he had to make more concessions.
"No." He smiled and wanted to reach out and touch Mu Fuyue's head as he did in the past, but when he raised his hand, he had a strange feeling. Then he saw that although she had turned into her previous appearance, she had no entity and was still made of smoke condensed by spiritual power, so he withdrew his hand.
"Tomorrow, I will bring the galaxy here."
Mu Fuyue's eyes suddenly flashed with a subtle emotion: "Thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother. Sigh, Xinghe's personality is always a little awkward. I just hope that after he knows, he won't feel angry that Senior Brother kept it from him."
"He has calmed down a lot now. I have been trying to find a way to rescue you before. He knows all this and has helped a little. He won't be angry." Chu Ye explained to her patiently, but when he mentioned "helped a little", he thought of Mu Fuyun again.
Somehow, he felt a little strange.
It's strange why she hasn't mentioned Mu Fuyun until now. After all, when she was in the secret realm of the Xisha polar region, even at the moment before her death, she was still thinking about her only sister.
Mu Fuyue noticed something was wrong from his calm expression which was different from before.
"That's good." She smiled, as if finally relieved, and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the condensed smoke twisted twice, making her figure blurred as if it was wiped away by a hand.
"It seems like it won't last much longer."
Mu Fuyue looked down at her body that had been shaken away, with a tone of loss and regret.
"This method is like this. It can allow you to transform, but it won't last long," Chu Ye explained to her gently, "You must return to the lotus lantern and recuperate before you can transform again."
"Yeah, I understand. I'm just a little reluctant because I feel the time is too short."
The remaining time was limited, and Mu Fuyue had no time to hesitate. While she was still able to speak, she finally asked the question that Chu Ye was worried about.
"Big Brother, how is my sister?"
Chu Ye's heart shuddered, and he didn't know whether he felt relieved that she had finally asked the question, or whether the stone pressing on his heart had become even heavier because she had asked the question.
"After you got into trouble, I brought her to Tianyan, and she's still here."
"That's good, that's good... This must have been very difficult for Senior Brother, right? I'm sorry, at that time I felt like I was really going to disappear into thin air. Thinking of her being alone and helpless, I couldn't bear it, so I made that request..."
"No, Yue'er, I know you have good intentions. Since it is your wish, I will do my best to make it come true for you."
Chu Ye said, then changed the subject, "However, you are still very fragile now. You are recuperating here on weekdays, so it is not appropriate for too many people to know about it. Apart from me and Junior Brother Song, it is best not to tell anyone else. Mu Fuyun - your sister, don't tell anyone for the time being, okay?"
"I know that Senior Brother is doing this for my own good, so I'll listen to him."
Mu Fuyue agreed without a second thought, which made Chu Ye feel guilty. However, thinking of the words on the palm leaf, his hesitation was temporarily suppressed.
"Don't be afraid, Senior Brother will come to see you tomorrow."
After the words fell, Mu Fuyue couldn't hold on any longer and disappeared into the air before she could answer.
Chu Ye did not leave immediately, but stood there, silently looking at the place where she disappeared for a long time before turning around and walking out of the back hall.
Outside the house, the sun is shining, the sky is clear, and the air is fresh between the mountains and forests.
He stopped by the stream, took a deep breath, and slowly took out the palm leaf from the mustard bag.
This time, there were still golden words on it, but it was no longer the previous forty-nine-word mental method, but a dense array of annotations.
At the end of the dazzling annotations, there was a line of enlarged and very conspicuous words.
"The day when the soul and the spirit are harmonious is the day when the soul can be transferred to another body. Only then will the art of nurturing the soul be completed."
…
Mu Fuyun stayed in Lingshanze for another whole day, but still did not wait for Xie Hanyi to wake up.
Every two moments, she would reach out and feel his pulse. She saw that his pulse had gradually become steady and gentle from being heavy at first. Although she did not understand the art of medicine, she knew that he was really well and was just still sleeping. She felt relieved.
While waiting, she went to the storeroom in the cave and found a few not-so-precious items, estimating what she could exchange for the points she had earned.
Previously, the sect had sent her a message, telling her the new points in the mission hall.
After returning to the water, she sat next to Xie Hanyi again, took his pulse, then spread out the materials in front of her one by one and began to refine the weapon.
Since coming here, apart from the time when he modified his sword, he has never really refined any weapon.
This is her secret, and she doesn't want anyone to know it - but Xie Hanyi seems to be an exception.
She touched the small crystal piece still hanging on her chest and decided to make something for Xie Hanyi with her own hands.
This was something I had thought of before I learned about the mission, and now, this desire is even stronger.
After calculating the ratio and order of various materials, she prepared herself, condensed the spiritual fire in her palm, and began to refine the materials.
This is an action deeply engraved in her soul, and even though she hasn't tried it for a long time, she doesn't feel unfamiliar with it.
Soon, the shape of a small copper lampstand gradually emerged.
Just as she was trying to melt the base of the lampstand to make it smoother, her heart suddenly sank, as if an invisible hand had grabbed her hard, causing her heart to stop for a moment.
That is the sensation from deep within the soul.
She stopped what she was doing as if she had sensed something, slowly raised her head, and looked into the distance at the Guizang Palace standing tall on Fu Ri Peak.
There was something there that was closely related to her and could not be separated from her.
