With the teaching materials in hand, the entire Zhenyan Sect bustled with activity once again. To welcome Teacher Qiu Zhang's arrival, You You even held a special meeting for all the staff—or rather, all the disciples—to formally introduce Qiu Zhang to all the disciples in the sect, and even sent messages to those disciples who had gone out for training.
Qiu Zhang also officially began teaching in the sect. At first, the disciples were not surprised by the teacher who floated around explaining the cultivation methods to them, but as they listened, they got used to it.
Yuan Qi actually has a solution for Qiu Zhang's soul. First, use an array to stabilize his remnant soul, and then use the soul as a foundation to start cultivating again. The higher the cultivation level, the longer he can remain in this state. In fact, it's not impossible for him to even cultivate a physical body and ascend to immortality in the later stages. However, Qiu Zhang is only cultivating his soul, which will likely be much more difficult than for ordinary cultivators.
Qiu Zhang was very excited. He had originally prepared himself to dissipate, but he didn't expect to have another chance to cultivate. He was instantly full of energy. He went out to teach his disciples during the day and floated back to Yuan Qi's formation at night to cultivate on his own, busy as a diligent little honeybee.
Even Youyou was somewhat moved by his work ethic, which far exceeded the 996 work schedule, and felt a sense of guilt as a wicked capitalist, and even had an impulse to give him benefits.
“Yuan Qi…” she looked at the person beside her and said, “Besides the formation, are there any other ways to make Qiu Zhang’s soul body more stable?”
Yuan Qi thought for a moment, then handed over the teacup in his hand, saying, "Perhaps we can use pills to help."
"A pill?" You You was taken aback. "Can he eat it?" Doesn't he not have a physical body?
“Of course it is!” Yuan Qi nodded with a smile. “You can directly transform the pill into pill essence. There are ghost cultivators in the world who also cultivate by tempering their souls. Qiu Zhang is just a remnant soul, but it is even more difficult for him than for ghost cultivators.”
"Oh." You You nodded, calculating in his mind how much spiritual plant the sect had left and whether it could be of any help. Moreover, he didn't know what kind of pill it was to be made; perhaps ordinary disciples couldn't make it themselves, and he would likely need Wei Bi's help.
Just as he was about to ask more questions, a disciple came to report that Wei Bi was requesting an audience!
As if on cue, the man appeared, so they invited him in.
Before long, Wei Bi strode towards the two of them. Unlike the sixth-level alchemist who had just arrived, who was somewhat dejected but not unruly, Wei Bi was now completely transformed, full of energy and spirit. He was glowing with health, as if he had encountered something good. His eyes were shining, and he looked excited and thrilled.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!" Kui Bi had not yet officially joined the Zhenyan Sect, mainly because You You had just returned and had not yet had time to handle his entry into the sect. Although he did not address the sect leader, he performed the disciple's greeting, acting as if he no longer considered himself an outsider.
"Master Kui, there's no need to be so polite!" You You nodded. "I haven't yet congratulated Master Kui on advancing to the Nascent Soul stage." She and Feng Rong had only been gone a few days when Kui Bi successfully passed the tribulation and formed his Nascent Soul. He was now a Nascent Soul Master.
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Kui Bi smiled even more broadly.
"What brings you here, Master Kui?" You You asked directly.
Kui Bi blushed, a hint of shyness flashing across his handsome face, as if he were somewhat embarrassed. He exuded a strange tension and fluster, and after a moment, he stammered, "Your...Your Excellency, actually I...I...I have a request for Your Excellency!"
He suddenly knelt down with a thud and bowed deeply to You You.
Youyou was startled by his sudden action. "What are you doing? There's no need to be so polite. Just tell me what's wrong."
"I...I..." Wei Bi's face turned even redder. He took several deep breaths before finally mustering his courage and gritting his teeth, "I...I...I...I am Mingyan from the Xinyue Sect..."
"Huh?" No, is there anyone who doesn't know this? Is there any need to tell her again?
Kui Bi knelt on the spot and poured out all his thoughts in one go.
“Ever since I first met Miss Mingyan a hundred years ago, I have held her in my heart and never forgotten her. When I heard of her passing, I felt hopeless and could not accept the news. I searched everywhere for her. Now, by the grace of heaven, I have been able to meet her here again... This is our destiny. I... do not want to miss her again.”
"Oh..." Youyou tilted her head, "And then?"
Kui Bi's eyes lit up, as if filled with starlight, and he looked at her with sparkling eyes, saying, "I... I want to ask Mingyan... no, Miss Shuiyan for marriage! To become lifelong partners! Please grant me permission, Your Majesty!" After saying that, he kowtowed several more times.
Youyou was taken aback. So that's what it was about. "You...want to marry Shuiyan?"
"Yes!" Kui Bi answered immediately, nodding vigorously as if afraid of being even a fraction too slow.
Youyou was confused. She tugged at Yuanqi next to her and lowered her voice, "Do all the celestial maidens of the immortal sects have to be in charge of their disciples' marriages?" Why should he ask her when he proposes to someone else?
Yuan Qi chuckled and leaned closer, replying in a similarly low voice, "Shuiyan and the others have no parents or teachers. Traditionally, the formation of dual cultivation partners requires the consent of the sect's leaders. Xiao You, you are a sect leader and can be considered their leader, so of course we need to ask for your opinion."
"Oh..." Youyou finally understood, so she was now the girl's parent.
So, she looked at the man before her again with the eyes of someone looking at a potential son-in-law. Hmm, he was indeed a young man with a skill and a promising future. But marriage truly involved the two of them; whether she agreed or not was actually not important.
After thinking for a moment, he replied, "We are well aware of your feelings for Shuiyan. But this is ultimately a matter between the two of you, and I shouldn't interfere. How about this... I'll call Shuiyan over, and you two can discuss it face-to-face. If she agrees, I have no objection!"
After saying that, he immediately summoned a disciple and asked him to bring the water pipe girl over.
Shuiyan arrived quickly, in less than five minutes. Since taking the Bone Forging Pill, her hidden injuries had been completely healed. Moreover, thanks to the pill, not only were the injuries of her forty-six disciples healed, but their previous cultivation levels were also restored. Shuiyan was the one with the highest cultivation level among them, at the Golden Core stage, just like Ling Qi.
Perhaps because she had started cultivating again, she had undergone a complete transformation. She no longer looked like the deliberate seductive woman she had been before, but instead appeared vibrant and energetic, full of vitality. In particular, the way she looked at You You was so bright that it was almost dazzling, and her voice was full and loud.
"Disciple Shuiyan greets Sect Master!"
