Bai Zha, in particular, stared with his round eyes at the teacup dog nestled in Li Yuan's palm.

"Wow, it's really cute. Hello, I'm Bai Zha, the master's contracted beast."

As he spoke, he patted the cool-looking Heichun next to him with his tail. Heichun stepped on his tail and looked at Bingyi calmly: "Hello, I am Heichun, also your contracted beast."

A hint of surprise flashed across Bingyi's delicate face. He looked up and down at the white and black creatures in front of him, and happily jumped onto their foreheads.

"Hello, I am Bingyi, your new friend. Although I am not a contracted beast, my soul is compatible with my master's, and the Xuanbing Space has been integrated with my master. My meaning is the same as yours."

Bai Zha took great effort to move his poor tail out from under Hei Chun's feet. He didn't bother to cause trouble for Hei Chun. He excitedly stretched out his hand and gently poked Bing Yi's fluffy hair, his mouth filled with surprise.

"It's incredible that the Ice Soul Divine Needle actually has such a magical place, the Mysterious Ice Space!"

Although they guessed the beginning, they thought the ice-blue mark was unusual.

But I definitely didn't guess the ending. Who could have thought that such a strange existence was hidden in the mark of this ice needle?

This, this is truly an unexpected gain!

What's more, this mysterious ice space also contains such a magical guardian.

Even though Hei Chun still looked cold on the surface, Bai Zha could clearly see the shock in his eyes. He guessed that this guy didn't expect this, right?

Don’t mention it, this is truly an unexpected surprise today!

After a friendly greeting, Little Ice Wing returned to Li Yuan's shoulder again, looking at the black and white figures opposite him, looking up at her in a very good mood,

"Master, in order for our souls to be more compatible, we need a drop of your blood."

After saying that, Little Ice Wing flashed to Li Yuan's palm, flattened her fingers, and lightly scratched with its sharp fingertips. A drop of transparent liquid emerged from its fingertips, and the next moment, the mark on Li Yuan's palm was also scratched by it.

When that drop of transparent liquid merged with Li Yuan's blood, the mark that had just been scratched on the palm of her hand disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, until the palm of her hand returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

Then, four bean-sized characters emitting ice-blue light flashed in Li Yuan's mind in the Xuanbing Space.

Then, some rules of the Xuanbing Space appeared in front of her in the form of fonts.

Like subtitles, lines appear and disappear.

Only when Li Yuan absorbed all the information in his mind did he slowly open his eyes.

When Qingming's eyes fell on the three cute pets in front of her, a look of relief appeared at the corners of her lips.

"Do you know? Over the years, I have almost completely relied on the Ice Soul Divine Needle. Its disappearance once made me hesitate, but I didn't expect that in the end, it would be a blessing in disguise and I would get such a heaven-defying artifact. My dears, I, Li Yuan, am so honored to have you. Thank you, thank you all three."

Li Yuan's voice trembled a little because of excitement. With Heichun on the left, Bai Zha on the right, and a little Bingyi lying on her shoulder, she was really so happy.

"Master, you are too polite. You deserve this. Since Xuanbing chose you, there must be a reason for choosing you. How is it? What did you see just now?"

Li Yuan nodded, "Rules, I have mastered the rules of Xuanbing. Xuanbing space is a needle-shaped space, and our current position is exactly on the tip of the needle, which means that the size of Xuanbing space is the smallest part of the entire ice needle."

"Mysterious Ice Space, also called Mysterious Ice Needle, is composed of ninety-nine and eighty-one ice needles. But now, because my level is not high enough, I don't even have one."

"If you want to advance to the Divine Needle, you must upgrade your space, and the way to upgrade is to complete the tasks according to the task list issued by the Divine Needle."

"There is only a hundred square meters of open space at present, and of course it will be gradually expanded as the space is upgraded in the future. This open space can be used for me to grow medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs grown in the Xuanbing space are hundreds or even thousands of times more effective than those grown in ordinary environments, and the growth time will also be continuously shortened as the space appreciates."

"Apart from that, dead objects related to medicine are allowed to appear in the space, and the owner is allowed to enter in the form of a soul. Anything else is strictly prohibited."

…

Li Yuan couldn't help but look at Bing Yi with resentment when she said this. "I thought this space could be used as my storage bag. It seems that I was overthinking it."

Little Bingyi covered his mouth and laughed softly, "Master, if you want to gain more permissions, you need to continuously upgrade the space."

"After upgrading, I will be able to gain storage rights?"

Xiao Bingyi hesitated for a moment. "This... I'm not too sure now. The successive masters of Xuanbing Space have different degrees of compatibility with the space, and their abilities vary. Therefore, the tasks they issued are incomparable. Naturally, the reward system is also different. The only thing that is certain is that if the master wants to gain authority, he must upgrade the space."

Li Yuan nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that I need some time to digest the series of rules brought about by this heaven-defying artifact."

After the great joy, there came severe aftereffects of fatigue. Li Yuan's mind was too confused and she needed time to sort it out. Before it got dark, she could no longer bear the buzzing of her brain and fell into a deep sleep.

After she fell asleep, Hei Chun personally took her pulse and found that apart from being a little tired, she had no other abnormalities, so he felt relieved.

However, regarding the sudden appearance of this mysterious ice space, the two were still a little confused. They really didn't understand how such a mysterious artifact could appear out of nowhere.

Hei Chun did not forget to search his memory bank, trying to find the shadow of the Ice Soul Divine Needle. Unfortunately, the description of the Ice Soul Divine Needle was too scarce, so scarce that apart from some of its external characteristics, there was nothing else.

But these external conditions were also confirmed in Li Yuan's memories.

If you think about it carefully, from Li Yuan picking up the magic needle, to using the magic needle to treat patients, to treating Wei Jie, to having the magic needle sucked away by Wei Jie, to covering the mark with his hand, and finally to the sudden appearance of today's guardian, this series of reactions seems to have nothing to do with each other, but upon closer thought, it is not difficult to find that they are all the result of chance and coincidence.

Bingyi kept explaining the so-called degree of compatibility. Could it be that all along, this had been Xuanbing's test of Li Yuan?

Now that they have passed the test and reached the level of compatibility, it is natural for Little Ice Wing to appear?

"What are you still worried about? No matter how you look at it, the Xuanbing Space has only benefits for the master, not disadvantages, right?"

Compared to Bai Zha's step-by-step approach, Hei Chun's step-by-step approach seems much more far-sighted. As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties, and Bai Zha is not good at medicine or poison, so naturally he does not think as much or see as far as Hei Chun, who was born in the Poison Valley.

So most of the time, Bai Zha remained silent.

"Have you discovered that the master seems to be hiding a huge secret?"

First there was this inexplicable poison, and then there was her miraculous physique. Even it couldn't guess whether the reason she had such a physique was related to the poison in her body.

This remains unsolved to this day.

I believe Li Yuan himself cannot be sure.

Now, with the addition of a mysterious ice needle on top of this foundation, Li Yuan's future seems destined to be extraordinary.

Bai Zha glanced at Li Yuan's sleeping face, then looked at Hei Chun thoughtfully: "Have you noticed that even this little Bingyi had the same reaction as us when he mentioned the master's appearance?"

Hei Chun naturally did not forget this, but was surprised by Bai Zha's reaction, "I am very pleased that you can be so careful."

Bai Zha rolled his eyes. "It seems that the question about the master's appearance is a mystery worth solving!"

"It's hard to say what kind of unprecedented effect the Xuanbing Space can bring. A space without upgrades is equivalent to nothing. I'm afraid it will take time to convince us just how powerful the Heaven-Defying Divine Needle is. Instead, what we should pay more attention to now is the master's background. What do you think?"

Bai Zha nodded. "My mother seems to know about my master's life experience, but she is unwilling to tell me. The only thing I know is that my master's mother once saved my mother accidentally, so she made a promise to me. The reason why we are guarding in the dark forest is to wait for my master to appear."

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Hei Chun could not hide the surprise in his eyes. "In that case, the master's mother is quite remarkable? It is not easy to get the promise of a dragon!"

"So, the master's mother can't be just a concubine in the palace?"

Hei Chun pursed his lips, his eyes were full of caution, "This cannot be confirmed before we get evidence, but your information may be helpful to the master in finding clues, you..."
