Chu Nian: "What about the things hidden in the ruins?"
Lin Jingting: "It will fall off on its own when the cultivator dies."
Chu Nian pondered for a moment and said, "You said that the Void is formed by cultivators using their own cells. Then, if a cultivator's physical body perishes and they are reincarnated, then what about their Void..."
Lin Jingting: "They will not be reincarnated with the soul, but will disappear."
Chu Nian remained silent: Then wouldn't it be useless for her to refine it?
Lin Jingting: "You want the kind of ruins that can be reincarnated with the soul?"
Chu Nian: "How did you know?"
Lin Jingting: "Didn't you say that your ability was awakened in your past life? This means that your soul has undergone reincarnation."
Chu Nian: "Is there a method to cultivate a void within the soul that can be reincarnated?"
Lin Jingting: "Yes. Moreover, this kind of ruin can not only collect tangible matter, but also intangible things, such as energy."
Chu Nian felt that this Void was very good and powerful, and it also met her needs, so she asked with excitement and humility, "How do I refine it?"
Lin Jingting stared at her with some surprise.
Chu Nianqi asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?" After a pause, he asked again, "Is it inconvenient for you to teach me how to refine this kind of Void?"
Lin Jingting: "That's not it. I just feel that since you awakened your past life's abilities, why didn't you awaken your past life's cultivation techniques? That doesn't make sense!" After saying that, she stared at Chu Nian thoughtfully.
Chu Nian said helplessly, "The cultivation technique should be in the memories of the previous life, but a person who has awakened the abilities of the previous life may not be able to awaken the memories of the previous life."
Lin Jingting pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. Abilities from a past life can be awakened under certain stimuli, but the awakening of memories from a past life may require a step-by-step process; one cannot be impatient."
There's a hidden meaning in Chu Nian's words to Lin Jingting: it seems he's waiting for her to awaken some memories from her past life.
She dared not continue the discussion on this topic because she was not the real Bai Nian; her abilities were brought to her by her soul when she transmigrated, not the awakening of any abilities from her past life. Therefore, the awakening of memories from her past life was probably impossible.
In this respect, Lin Jingting is destined to be disappointed.
Lin Jingting said, "This kind of ruin is called the Ruins of the Soul. It is formed by condensing the constituent substances of the soul, so it will always be hidden deep in the soul, and it will follow the soul wherever it goes."
Chu Nianxi said, "That's right, this is exactly the ruins I wanted."
Lin Jingting: "But if you want to condense it, you must first understand your own soul..."
He spoke of it evasively, and Chu Nian felt as if she really had these memories. His words were like a key to her memories. Because of his narration, the locks on these memories were unlocked. She remembered many cultivation techniques and spells that Lin Jingting had never mentioned, as well as various methods of condensing different Ruins, that is, different Mustard Seed Spaces.
She even recalled the methods of energy import and export from different ruins, as well as the methods of stealing treasures from other people's ruins... There were actually such spells? Chu Nian herself felt that these memories might just be her own imagination.
However, using the method of exploring the soul ruins of others that she remembered, she actually found Lin Jingting's ruins, which contained abundant energy. She wondered how much spiritual power this guy had absorbed from the souls to condense such powerful energy.
Speaking of which, Lin Jingting obtained all this spiritual power by killing. If she tried to steal some of it, wouldn't that be considered acting on behalf of Heaven? Moreover, the original owner still harbors deep resentment towards Lin Jingting. She needs to find a way to eliminate that resentment!
Chu Nian did a lot of mental preparation for herself: Although Lin Jingting was the "knife" that killed the original owner, he was very good to Chu Nian. Because of the mission—cough, she would never admit that she coveted Lin Jingting's spiritual power—she couldn't live with herself if she went to steal the treasures in Lin Jingting's ruins!
Thinking about this, Chu Nian wondered if she could talk to those guys in the underworld and negotiate a deal, so that if she encountered a task she didn't want to complete, she could give it up and do something else instead.
She felt that with her current abilities, she could stop in the underworld when she passed through, catch the little devil who sent her through endless reincarnations, and negotiate with him.
With her own agenda in mind, she began to condense her Soul Ruins using the method she remembered. If she wanted to steal things from Lin Jingting's Ruins, she first needed to have her own Ruins.
Perhaps because she had awakened memories of this, she easily created her own Soul Ruins, opening up an alternate dimension deep within her soul. At first, it was very small, but she expanded it significantly with a little effort.
Chu Nian was somewhat surprised: she felt that this Ruins seemed to have existed before, but she herself was unaware of it, causing this Ruins of Souls to remain dormant. And she was simply using this method to awaken this Ruins from its slumber.
Lin Jingting was still explaining the difficulties and key points of condensing the Soul Ruins to her, completely unaware that the woman in front of him had secretly unleashed an invisible power and infiltrated his Soul Ruins...
Lin Jingting's smooth narration paused for a moment, but she quickly continued.
Chu Nian was puzzled. This guy clearly sensed that she was stealing his mental energy, so why didn't he take any action?
She tried to steal a portion of Lin Jingting's mental energy, but Lin Jingting still did not react.
Chu Nian knew very well that Lin Jingting couldn't possibly be unaware that his hard-earned spiritual energy was dissipating. Yet, he still took no action, neither expelling Chu Nian's spiritual energy nor taking any protective measures against his own spiritual energy. Chu Nian found his reaction very strange.
When Chu Nian felt she had stolen about a third of Lin Jingting's spiritual power, her own spiritual power had greatly increased. Now, she should be able to successfully kill Lin Jingting, but Lin Jingting hadn't made any move yet.
Chu Nian was very confused.
This is not like Lin Jingting's style at all.
Chu Nian stopped stealing and asked Lin Jingting, "Why didn't you stop me?"
Lin Jingting: "Stop you from what?"
Chu Nian: "Do you think I'd believe you if you said you didn't notice me stealing your mental energy?"
Lin Jingting: "No." He paused, then asked, "Are you asking me why I didn't stop you from stealing my spiritual power?"
Chu Nian nodded and said, "Yes, why didn't we stop it?"
Lin Jingting: "Why should I stop you? If you want it, you can have it."
Chu Nian's eyelids twitched as she listened, and she asked, "Why?"
Lin Jingting: "You're asking a question you already know the answer to."
Chu Nian: "I really don't know."
Lin Jingting: "After all this time, don't you really understand my feelings for you at all?"
Chu Nian was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend."
Lin Jingting chuckled softly.
