Ling Jingyan snorted at Ling Zhiheng, "Double standards! They're so hypocritical, big brother, aren't you going to do something about him?"
"Why do you two always argue whenever you meet? It's giving me a headache." Ling Haoyang rubbed his forehead.
As they were talking, the sun had unknowingly set behind the mountains, and the bright moon hung in the sky.
"Since we're having such a good time today, let's have plenty of Moonlight Brew. With the moon shining so brightly tonight, let's drink and make merry until we're drunk."
Ling Zhiheng took out several jars of Moon Essence Wine from his storage space and arranged them on the table.
"We won't leave until we're drunk!"
Under the moonlight, the four men's wine jars clinked together, making a crisp sound.
The next morning.
Ruan Xiyan woke up groggily from her bed. She had been too happy last night and had accidentally drunk too much.
She patted her head, thinking that indulging herself once in a while was nice, and that she didn't have to be so tense all the time.
Just as Master said, a person should eat meat and drink wine to their heart's content and live a carefree life, so that they will not have lived in vain.
"Master." Feng Ling's voice echoed in his mind.
Ruan Xiyan's spiritual consciousness entered the space.
The Wind Spirit Space was bustling with activity, as Bi Qiong Yao Yao and the other contracted beasts had all built their nests and settled down there.
This space is most like the outside world, unlike the contract space where the contracted beasts reside, which is a small space with only endless night.
The first thing Ruan Xiyan saw when she entered was a newly created pond filled with the Fountain of Life.
A koi carp swam happily to and fro in the pond, occasionally showing its belly in delight.
Ruan Xiyan clicked her tongue a few times, "That's quite extravagant."
Feng Ling helplessly shrugged, "Master, there's nothing we can do. Ever since this koi came to the space, it's been jumping into the Fountain of Life like crazy."
"I just made a pond for it, filled with the Fountain of Life. It was just a matter of a thought for me."
"This koi doesn't seem to have much intelligence, but I didn't expect it to know how to enjoy itself so much," Ruan Xiyan exclaimed.
"Although koi fish are of low rank among magical beasts, they are blessed magical beasts that represent good fortune. I hope they can bring good luck to their master," Biqiong interjected as she ran over.
"Good luck!" Yao Yao repeated, flying to Ruan Xiyan's shoulder, chirping and flapping her wings.
Ruan Xiyan smiled and smoothed its feathers, then looked at Feng Ling, "Feng Ling, help me open the Mirror Realm."
She wanted to venture into this mirror world and see just how far her spiritual power could go.
Feng Ling stood in front of the stone mirror, raised her hand to form a seal, and a vortex entrance appeared on the stone mirror. "Master, be careful. If you can't hold on, retreat."
"Spiritual power is stored in the sea of consciousness, and the two complement each other. Once the master's spiritual power has a problem, the sea of consciousness will also suffer irreparable damage."
Ruan Xiyan nodded, "I understand, I'll be careful."
After she finished speaking, she stepped into the Mirror World.
The scene before her suddenly changed, and she found herself in a closed room with walls on all four sides.
The room was empty except for a huge red key standing upright in the very center.
Ruan Xiyan sat cross-legged in front of the key, gathering her spiritual energy and pouring it into the key.
The room and the key in front of her disappeared, and she found herself in a golden world.
There are glittering gold coins everywhere, even the ground is paved with gold, and a golden pavilion stands in the distance.
Suddenly, a rain of gold coins began to fall from the sky. Before Ruan Xiyan could react, the gold coins pierced her mind like sharp blades, ignoring the protective shield formed by spiritual energy around her.
Ruan Xiyan's eyes sharpened. These were all formed from immense spiritual power, and their attacks were only effective against spiritual power and the sea of consciousness.
She looked towards the Golden Pavilion in the distance, wondering if the key to solving this puzzle lay there.
She flew quickly in that direction, her mental energy constantly colliding with the rain of gold coins falling from the sky.
Just as they were about to reach the pavilion, an invisible force blocked them from entering.
Ruan Xiyan stopped in her tracks, looking at the barrier blocking her way.
The spiritual energy in the sea of consciousness slowly gathered, finally condensing into a sharp, three-edged thorn.
She raised her hand and threw the triangular dagger toward the Golden Pavilion.
All their mental energy was focused on a single point of the triangular dagger, carrying an unstoppable force.
Upon touching the barrier outside the Golden Pavilion, the barrier shattered instantly.
At the same time, Ruan Xiyan felt an extremely strong pull.
She returned to the sealed room, where the red key had turned gray.
Behind the key, a vortex entrance leading to the next room appeared.
Ruan Xiyan stepped inside without hesitation.
The wind spirits and the others stayed close to the stone mirror, watching it intently.
Around the stone mirror were nine crystal beads, like ornaments, covered by a layer of gray and without any light.
As Ruan Xiyan passed through the first room, a crystal bead emitted a dazzling light.
"Master actually passed the first test so quickly!" Feng Ling's expression was full of astonishment.
Bi Qiong chuckled, "You've known about Master's extraordinary talent for a long time."
"Master, you're amazing! Master, keep it up!" Yao Yao nestled on Bi Qiong's head, her voice soft and gentle.
Ruan Xiyan arrived at the second room, which was exactly the same as the first room, with four sealed walls and a red key in the middle.
If she hadn't seen the key in the first room dim down, she would have thought she'd gone to the wrong room.
Ruan Xiyan channeled her spiritual power into the key, and the scene before her eyes shifted.
This is a vibrant forest, filled with lush, verdant trees.
Having learned from her experience in the first room, Ruan Xiyan directly used her mental power to condense a long sword and held it in her hand.
He turned and swung his sword, severing the vines that had attacked from behind with a flash of light.
The surrounding trees all came to life, their leaves were shaken off and flew everywhere.
The vines stretched out continuously, like long whips covered in thorns.
It was slammed to the ground with a "thud," kicking up a cloud of dust.
They attacked Ruan Xiyan from different directions, giving her no chance to breathe.
Ruan Xiyan twirled her sword one flourish after another, the sword light radiating, combining offense and defense.
Those vines did nothing to harm her; on the contrary, more and more broken vines piled up on the ground.
However, those vines are incredibly resilient; once cut off, they will regrow from the roots endlessly.
Ruan Xiyan's eyes burned brightly, and she fought with increasing courage.
As the battle progressed, she could feel herself becoming more and more proficient in using her mental energy.
If it can grow like this, then let's try her trick!
Ruan Xiyan's longsword flew from her hand, soaring into the air. One sword became two, two became four, four became sixteen...
The sky was filled with a rain of swords, their sharp tips pointing at the branches and vines.
"fall."
With Ruan Xiyan's command, countless swords rained down, carrying powerful force that snapped branches and uprooted trees.
"Boom!" The sound of trees falling to the ground echoed all around.
