You You felt that the True Evolution Sect's biggest deficiency right now was resources; to be precise, they were poor. When they were first established, they couldn't even afford spirit wood, let alone various pills and weapons. They couldn't even afford a single Foundation Establishment Pill. Through Lin Feng's explanation, she learned that the Spirit Gathering Grass needed to refine Foundation Establishment Pills cost ten high-grade spirit stones each. At first, she thought it was a huge sum, but for a sect, it was nothing. In fact, many inner disciples of smaller sects could receive a Foundation Establishment Pill from their sect after reaching the Qi Refining Perfection stage to help them establish their foundation.
However, in the True Path Sect, there is no doubt that if it weren't for the opening of the large-scale super... oops, I mean the Moon Sea Secret Realm, then the Spirit Gathering Grass would be the most headache-inducing problem the sect would face.
But things are different now. Yuan Qi has only been awakening in the secret realm, yet the ground is covered with an inexhaustible supply of spiritual plants. If we were to bring him back to the sect... it wouldn't just be like contracting a follower, it would be like welcoming back a god of wealth! She can already see the True Evolution Sect covered with spiritual plants!
Who cares about gods, unicorns, slumbering beings, or anything like that? As long as they have funds, they're the sugar daddies!
"Dad, what's your preferred way of eating oranges? Standing, sitting, or with tea?" Youyou squeezed his hand tightly, radiating the boundless enthusiasm of a collaborator. "If you prefer, kneeling is fine too, or I can find you a cushion."
Yuan Qi was taken aback, wondering why she kept urging him to eat oranges. But he still smiled and said, "The Heavenly Maiden's willingness to enter into a contract has already helped me a great deal... Just do as you please."
"Dad, you don't need to be so polite. From now on, we're all family. My name is Youyou, you can call me whatever you like! Xiaoyou or Xiaoyou are both fine." Anyway, you're my dad, so just be happy.
“…You are indeed different from the other celestial maidens.” Yuan Qi’s smile deepened, and he nodded. “Then I shall accept your offer. I am indeed much older than many others, so how about I call you Xiao You?”
"Alright!" Youyou nodded vigorously, now that he called him by his nickname, he was practically their own god of wealth. "Let's start signing the contract now!"
"Thank you for your trouble, Xiaoyou." He put down the teacup in his hand, slowly stood up, and with a gentle wave of his hand, the pavilion in front of him disappeared. The three of them were standing on the empty water, and he knelt down on one knee in her direction.
Youyou quickly placed her hand on his shoulder, about to activate her skill, when she suddenly remembered something. "Wait! You didn't eat the orange and then just ascended again, did you?" She had already released an ancestor, and now she was traumatized. Besides, they both had the surname Yuan; who knew if there was any genetic inheritance involved?
Yuan Qi was taken aback. Why did she say "again"? But she still answered seriously, "When Xiao You talks about ascension, does she mean ascending to become an immortal? My clan is inherently divine, and there is absolutely no possibility of degenerating into immortal bones. Moreover, my clan has the ability to travel between the three realms."
"So, even if you fly away, you can still fly back?" Youyou asked again to confirm!
“…Yes!” He nodded.
Then she was relieved; having already sent one teacher away, she absolutely couldn't let a second one go.
"But..." he added, as if remembering something, "My true form has been dormant for a long time, so it may not be so easy for me to awaken. If... you feel any discomfort, remember to stop immediately and never force yourself."
"Don't worry, I'm very professional!" You You patted his chest and, without any delay, immediately activated the power transfer skill and uttered the shout.
"Don't move from here, I'll go buy you some oranges!" Hmm, I always feel like I get a freebie too often, and then I get used to it!
╮(╯▽╰)╭
"..." Yuan Qi was stunned for a moment. He was wondering why she was so obsessed with oranges and wanted to remind her to pay more attention. But the next moment, he felt a surge of energy coming from her palm. It was so fast that it not only flowed into his body, which was a manifestation of his divine sense, but also swept across his entire divine sense space.
Yuan Qi was stunned, his eyes widening suddenly. He looked up at the person in front of him in disbelief, "This energy, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sudden burst of white light illuminated the surroundings, instantly spreading across the entire water surface. The whole world seemed to have been awakened by something, becoming blindingly bright. Even Yuan Qi himself began to emit white light, his figure becoming transparent, as if he were about to disappear at any moment.
His previously worried expression relaxed, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief. A mark resembling both wind and flame appeared on his forehead. Suddenly, he smiled at her, a smile unlike his previous gentle, habitual one. In an instant, the dazzling white light around him paled in comparison to his radiance—a smile that could eclipse the very heavens and earth.
Youyou was dazzled by his smile and paused for a moment. Then she saw him slowly stand up, suddenly lean down and gently place his forehead against hers, pressing it together intimately. His words were filled with a tenderness that could drown you, as he whispered, "Thank you, my little fairy."
The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot, and the white light around him grew brighter and brighter, turning his entire field of vision into a white expanse.
Youyou subconsciously closed her eyes, feeling as if something had appeared around her. Then, her vision blurred, and she was pushed out by something.
"Your Excellency, we've been sent out of the Sea of Consciousness!" Lin Feng exclaimed in alarm.
She opened her eyes and saw that she was indeed in front of the forest full of spiritual plants, but it was different from the peaceful and safe secret realm that had been like a large spiritual plant supermarket. The forest had undergone a complete transformation.
It was truly a cataclysmic event; the entire world was shaking, large cracks appeared on the ground, and even the sky began to collapse, with black cracks spreading across the sky like a spider web, as if it would shatter completely at any moment.
Lin Feng stared in shock at everything before him. "This secret realm is about to collapse!" He instinctively moved a few steps closer to You You so that he could escort her away as soon as possible.
"What?!" You You was shocked. It collapsed! Was there any way to salvage the spiritual plants?
The amazing thing is that no matter how much noise they made, it had no effect on them at all. They were enveloped in a transparent protective shield, like a bubble, which held them in mid-air.
The secret realm collapsed even more severely, with rumbling sounds echoing incessantly. In no time, not a single piece of intact land remained below, as if something was about to break through.
The next moment, a clear and melodious voice resounded throughout the entire secret realm. It was impossible to tell what it was, but it unexpectedly made people's hearts tremble. Suddenly, a huge phantom appeared between heaven and earth. It was the figure of a giant beast, with a body like a horse, two horns on its head, and a long tail like a waterfall hanging from the sky. Its whole body was covered with scales as white as jade, without a trace of other colors, making it look pure and noble.
This is a Qilin—a white Qilin.
