The tall, thin man glanced at Ye Sisi, who was contradicting herself, and said indifferently, "Where is Liu Yun'er?"
While quietly regaining control of the Nine Directions Formation, Ye Sisi replied, "I don't know. I haven't seen anyone else from the time I went in until I came out."
The tall, thin man lowered his eyes, seemingly unaware of Ye Sisi's subtle movements, and simply leaned quietly against the tree, lost in thought.
Seeing that he didn't intend to make a move, Ye Sisi simply found a place to sit down and chat with him: "Big brother, what's your name? Why did you decide to follow someone like Liu Yun'er?"
The tall, thin man didn't even lift his eyelids, seemingly indifferent to everything in the world, completely ignoring Ye Sisi, who was staring at him with wide eyes.
Ye Sisi thought this person was so cold. She was such a cute girl, and he could completely ignore her when she chatted with him. He must not have a wife.
But she still wanted to poach him, so she continued with a smile, "Big brother, do you think my third senior brother is amazing? He's the really handsome male cultivator you fought with before. Let me tell you, my eldest senior brother is also amazing. He's not only handsome and has a great personality, but he's also incredibly rich..."
Ye Sisi just sat there muttering to herself, praising this person and that person, her mouth never stopping.
Finally, the tall, thin man couldn't take it anymore. He raised his eyes, twitched his face, and said, "Alright, just shut up for a bit. I know your senior brothers and sisters are all powerful."
Ye Sisi took out a bottle of spiritual dew, took a sip, and tossed another bottle to the tall, thin man, smiling as she said, "Please have a drink."
Chu Tian didn't know what was wrong with him, but he accepted it without thinking. Looking at the girl's bright smile, he thought of his own daughter.
If Xiaoxue hadn't contracted that strange illness, she would probably be about the same age as the girl in front of him now. Would she smile at him like that too?
Thinking of his daughter, Chu Tian unconsciously softened his expression, which Ye Sisi saw as a sign that he was finally willing to talk to her.
He was even happier: "Big brother, I've already treated you to some spiritual dew, shouldn't you tell me your name? By the way, my name is Ye Sisi, the sixth disciple of Meng Tianyuan of the Tianling Sect."
Chu Tian was not surprised at all, obviously knowing their identities. He opened the bottle, took a sip of the spiritual dew, and said, "My name is Chu Tian."
Ye Sisi read it aloud a few times, then her eyes widened in surprise. She recognized the name: "You...you are Chu Tian, the once-in-a-millennium genius of the Hehuan Sect?"
Chu Tian twitched the corner of his mouth, looking somewhat self-deprecating: "It's just an empty reputation. Where in the world are there so many geniuses?"
Ye Sisi shook her head: "Senior is too modest. My master has said that he is not as talented as you."
Chu Tian raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of brilliance appearing in his calm eyes: "Oh, he really said that?"
Ye Sisi nodded firmly, then said, "Thank you for your mercy earlier, senior."
If she didn't know Chu Tian's identity, she might think that Lin Shuangluo would have no problem facing a Nascent Soul cultivator. However, this person is someone even Meng Tianyuan is ashamed of. If he really wanted to kill her, Lin Shuangluo wouldn't be able to get away with it, let alone in her current state. She would probably not even care about the little tricks she made.
A bead of cold sweat slid down her forehead. Sure enough, it was still dangerous to be out and about; you could easily run into a hidden big shot.
This man was a terrifying being who single-handedly killed three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Demon Clan. If it weren't for him, the Cangyuan Continent would have suffered considerable losses, which shows just how powerful he was.
Chu Tian smiled as he watched the beads of sweat sliding down the girl's forehead. He thought this girl was incredibly bold and didn't know the meaning of fear.
For some reason, his mood inexplicably improved. He leaned lazily against the big tree and said with a hint of mockery in his voice, "What, scared?"
Ye Sisi nodded obediently, then shook her head.
Chu Tian chuckled and smiled, "Are you afraid or not, nodding and shaking your head like that?"
Ye Sisi sighed, "I am a little scared, but I am not so scared knowing that it is you, senior."
"Oh, why?"
"Because the senior was a good person, and good people generally don't kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Chu Tian's lips curled into a self-deprecating smile. He rubbed his long fingers against the spatial ring on his finger, as if talking to himself: "Good people, but why do good people always have to go through so much suffering, while bad people live so carefree lives?"
Ye Sisi glanced furtively at Chu Tian, whose eyes were lowered, sensing that he was in danger. But she still forced herself to ask, "Senior, is there anything I can help you with?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Tian's gloomy aura instantly dissipated. He looked at Ye Sisi, whose eyes were clear and innocent, and nodded: "You just entered the Soul Beast Tower. Did you get any Soul-Stabilizing Pills?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Sisi understood why Chu Tian was following Liu Yun'er. If she remembered correctly, Liu Yun'er's biological father was a very famous alchemist, so this highly talented senior must have had an important person whose soul had encountered a problem.
But then again, is Liu Yun'er's father really that powerful, possessing both the Great Rejuvenation Pill and the Soul-Stabilizing Pill? Yet, at most, he's only at the Nascent Soul stage. Could he possibly refine such rare eighth-tier pills? Or did he obtain some extraordinary opportunity?
She shook her head, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts. Although she hadn't obtained the Soul-Stabilizing Pill from the Soul Beast Tower, it wasn't among the treasures given to her by her junior uncle's Ghost King parents.
However, the spatial ring they gave us contained something even better than the Soul-Stabilizing Pill: the Nine-Element Soul-Nourishing Pill, which had completely disappeared in the Cang Realm.
The Soul-Stabilizing Pill can help cultivators stabilize their unstable souls, but it cannot repair severely damaged souls.
The Nine Yuan Soul Nourishing Pill can slowly repair the missing part of the soul, and it also has the effect of consolidating the soul. Simply put, one treats the symptoms and the other treats the root cause.
So Ye Sisi shook her head and said, "No, I was thrown out as soon as I went in."
Chu Tian's eyes immediately darkened. Apart from Qingyuan Zhenren, who was Liu Yun'er's father, the only other possibility was that the Soul Beast Tower might contain the Soul-Stabilizing Pill.
Over the years, he not only sought medical treatment everywhere, but also visited almost every ancient immortal cave and secret realm he could reach, yet he never even saw a trace of the Soul-Retaining Pill.
After all, it was an eighth-grade pill, not so easy to refine. To be honest, he didn't really trust Qingyuan, but he had no choice.
Seeing Chu Tian's barely concealed disappointment, Ye Sisi continued, "Although I don't have a Soul-Stabilizing Pill, my senior brother once brought back a Nine-Element Soul-Nourishing Pill from an ancient immortal cave."
Chu Tian's eyes immediately lit up, and he flashed in front of her in a flash, grabbing her shoulders excitedly and asking, "What did you just say?"
Ye Sisi felt a little pain from being gripped on the shoulder, but she still smiled and said, "I said that our Tianling Sect currently has a Nine Yuan Soul Nourishing Pill."
Chu Tian's excitement immediately turned into ecstasy. He laughed for a while before looking at Ye Sisi and saying, "After your companion comes out, may I pay a visit to your sect's current sect leader?"
Ye Sisi looked at him without flinching, but her heart trembled slightly. She was still too naive to try to outsmart such a senior.
