Ji Yun explained, "Some people become brothers after they get married. Why can't ordinary friends get married?"
"That's...that's...anyway, it just won't work." Yuexi didn't know how to refute this person.
"So how far are we from being best friends?"
“Hmm…” Yuexi gestured the distance, “It’s still this long.”
It's a little less than last time.
Ji Yun's eyes widened: "It's this long? We've already kissed."
"That kiss didn't count because you stole it from me," Yuexi said angrily. This person kissed her when she wasn't paying attention, so it didn't count.
"......"
The lights outside the window were glaringly bright; even so late, the streetlights and some billboards were still so bright.
Ji Yun drew the curtains in the room.
Yuexi was about to put the snacks she hadn't finished in the bedside table when she picked up a box and asked, "What delicious things are these?"
Ji Yun was shocked and quickly snatched it away, then put it into his storage bag.
"This isn't for eating, it's for using."
"Hmm?" Yuexi was a little puzzled. This person was acting strangely.
"Okay, turn off the lights and go to sleep. I'm so tired. Soul Refining is really uncomfortable, and I've been enduring it."
"Oh, then don't cultivate while you're sleeping, just get some rest first."
Yuexi reminded him that since his cultivation level was low, although he could spare some attention to cultivate, his cultivation method was different from others. Cultivating the soul was not easy and required full mental focus; otherwise, problems would arise.
After turning off the lights.
The room was quiet.
Ji Yun took her hand and whispered, "I want to be your good friend."
"......"
Seeing that Yuexi didn't respond, Ji Yun continued, "Can I experience what it's like to have a good friend?"
"You just want to kiss me." Yuexi said speechlessly. Why does this person always want to kiss her?
Yes, I want to kiss you.
"......"
Remembering the kissing scenes in TV dramas, I quickly put my hand on my chest to calm myself down.
"Just trying it out?"
"If you're having trouble... um? Why are you freezing me in place?"
Ji Yun found himself restrained again, and then watched as Yue Xi pressed down on him.
"I'm afraid you'll move around too much." Yuexi said and then kissed him.
Feeling the warmth on her lips, Ji Yun's clumsy movements made her heart itch.
A moment later, Yuexi leaned back against the headboard and released him from his restraints.
Ji Yun looked at the silhouette in the darkness, unable to see Yue Xi's expression.
"That was just an experience. We're still just friends. Don't overthink it..." Yuexi's voice trailed off.
Ji Yun was speechless: "Next time, please don't confine me. It makes me feel very uncomfortable."
Several times, I've been controlled and can't move at all. My cultivation level is still too low. No, I need to intensify my cultivation.
"There won't be a next time. I already said it was just an experience. You're so annoying, you talk too much."
Yuexi felt something was off; how could those two on TV kiss for so long?
Ji Yun unconsciously shifted her sleeping position, then moved closer to her, inhaling the comforting fragrance.
He was somewhat restless and whispered, "We'll both be covered up..."
"Shut up!" Yuexi was annoyed. He still wanted to lie to her, so she froze him in place.
Ji Yun blinked, then could only stare at the ceiling.
......
On the return journey, it was just the two of them; Huo Feng had already returned to Lingyun Sect ahead of them.
Along the way, the cultivators gathered in groups of three or five.
Yuexi asked in confusion, "I saw so many of them on the road. What are they planning to do? Is something big happening?"
"Hasn't the war between good and evil already begun? These people are probably going to check if there's anything left to pick up. If they destroy a demonic sect, there's a lot of stuff inside."
Ji Yun also understands human nature very well. There is no such thing as a battle between good and evil; it is just a struggle among those who have interests.
The two arrived in Tianxin City and went to the Treasure Shop.
Ji Yun asked directly, "Shopkeeper, do you have any spirit-gathering arrays or similar treasures?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes, we have a Spirit Gathering Array, which can be used for twelve hours at a time, and a Spirit Gathering Talisman, which can be used for six hours at a time."
Ji Yun pondered for a moment and asked, "How many spirit stones for a set?"
"The Spirit Gathering Array costs 2500 spirit stones, and its effect is slightly better. The talisman costs 1000 spirit stones. How much do you need?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.
"Can you make it cheaper? I'm planning to buy ten sets of each."
"I'm sorry, customer, we don't negotiate prices here. These items are consigned by others, and our store charges a consignment fee, so the prices are usually fixed."
Ji Yun paid 35,000 spirit stones directly, then took the items and left.
The shopkeeper politely saw them out; they were incredibly wealthy.
Yuexi calculated for a moment and said, "The things I sold last time only cost 130,000 spirit stones, which can be used to buy some pills."
The most expensive items are pills. For example, pills for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage or the Golden Core stage are so expensive that an average cultivator would have to spend all their savings to buy just one.
The two spent tens of thousands of spirit stones to buy several kinds of pills.
After preparing to leave the city, Ji Yun instructed, "Yuexi, keep an eye out. We've bought so many things, see if any sneaky bastards are following us."
"Don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on this for a while. I know more about this than you do." Yuexi spread her divine sense, maintaining the highest level of vigilance.
Ji Yun felt much relieved upon hearing this. Basically, no one would recklessly try to rob a Nascent Soul cultivator. After all, those who have cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage possess considerable strength, and those who can reach the Nascent Soul stage would disdain engaging in such despicable acts.
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator can earn spirit stones by simply making offerings at any sect. Moreover, the money earned from slaying some demonic beasts is far better than robbing a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Did you send a message to Fellow Daoist Zuo? Ask her how the battle is going, tell her to be careful, not to be used as a pawn, and not to stand out too much. People who are too eager to do things often don't have a good ending."
Yuexi nodded quickly: "I'll send a message to Master."
After returning to Lingyun Sect.
Ji Yun focused on his cultivation, as there were many things to do at this crucial juncture, and with low cultivation levels, he couldn't accomplish much.
Once the spirit-gathering array is activated, the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy increases several times over.
A strange atmosphere pervades the cultivation world today.
On the surface, things appear calm, but underneath, various forces are stirring.
Yuexi arrived at Li Wunian's place, and the two chatted happily.
"Junior sister, how far have things progressed between you and your master? Have you...?" Li Wunian winked and gestured with his two thumbs.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We're just a normal master and disciple relationship." Yuexi said calmly.
"I saw you two hugging that day."
"Hehe...Really? Then you must have seen it wrong." Yuexi's smile was forced.
"I didn't see it..."
"I am a Nascent Soul cultivator," Yuexi said calmly.
"Okay, I must have misread it."
