The other elves also stepped forward, nodding in agreement.
Ruan Xiyan looked down at herself. Did she smell good? She had no idea.
The elves gradually became bolder, flying around Ruan Xiyan. Their minds were simple; they only gravitated towards things they liked.
"Brother, are there lots of fun things outside? Can you tell us about them?" the water sprite asked.
They yearn for new and exciting things outside, yet they also fear the outside world.
Their spirit race are naturally born spiritual beings, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are walking forms of cultivation power.
If they fall into the hands of terrible bad people, they will be in big trouble, so they have never seen the outside world since the day they were born.
However, the handsome young man in front of them did not frighten them at all; on the contrary, they felt very close to him and wanted to get close to him.
"The outside world isn't as peaceful as here. There are powerful sects, all sorts of conflicts, you'll encounter villains, but you'll also meet like-minded friends..."
Faced with these adorable little sprites, Ruan Xiyan couldn't bring herself to refuse them, and her patience was better than ever before.
The little elves surrounded Ruan Xiyan in the center, listening to her tell them about the outside world.
A look of longing appeared in their eyes, "If I have the chance, I also want to go out and see the world."
"No, no, the priest won't allow us to go out." The grass sprite waved its hand. "We have to listen to the priest."
"Okay, I was just venting." The golden elf chuckled.
They knew very well that for elves like themselves, who were powerless and helpless, leaving their homeland meant certain death.
As they were talking, an elven man wearing a flower crown flew over, holding a scepter in his hand.
"Why is the priest here? Doesn't he rarely leave his residence?" the elves chattered.
"A guest has come from afar; I have failed to greet you properly." The elven priest looked at Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan stood up and greeted, "Priest, I had no intention of offending the Spirit Clan's territory, please forgive me."
"I am the leader of the Elven race. May I ask how this friend is addressed?" the Elven priest inquired.
Before Ruan Xiyan could answer, the other elves spoke up first, "Priestess, his name is Ling Xi."
“Since young friend Ling has stumbled upon this place, he must have some connection with my Spirit Clan,” the elven priest said slowly. “The demonic beasts outside will not leave for the time being, so young friend Ling can stay here for now.”
“Then I will respectfully accept your offer. Thank you, High Priest,” Ruan Xiyan replied.
She knew the Elven race was kind-hearted, but she never expected even the Elven priests to be so friendly to her and to allow her to stay.
However, being able to stay here is very beneficial to her cultivation.
The other elves were also surprised that the usually serious priest would so easily allow the humans to stay, since the priest usually disliked humans.
Regardless, they were still very happy that the handsome guy was able to stay.
After saying this, the elven priest turned and left.
As a priest of the Elven race, he was born with the ability to see into people's hearts, and he could see that this human boy had a pure heart.
He deduced that the Spirit Race was about to face a calamity, but he had no idea what that calamity would be.
Was it fate that this boy unexpectedly stumbled upon this place?
He couldn't see through the fate of this human boy, only that he had excellent luck, which made the elves, who were naturally born from heaven and earth, feel very close to him.
He is now allowing him to cultivate within the Spirit Clan's territory, showing him kindness, hoping that when the Spirit Clan truly faces calamity, he will remember this favor and offer some assistance.
Ruan Xiyan had no idea what the spirit race priest was thinking. She wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity to cultivate in a place with such abundant spiritual energy.
The surrounding spiritual energy continuously converged into Ruan Xiyan's body.
Since the last change in the meridians, most of the spiritual energy has been transformed into demonic energy each time it flows through the meridians, with only a small portion settling in the dantian sea.
Ruan Xiyan couldn't tell whether this change was good or bad, as her body showed no abnormalities.
The power of demonic energy is far greater than that of spiritual energy. She needs to absorb hundreds of times more spiritual energy than an ordinary person to break through the bottleneck.
Time passed slowly, and Ruan Xiyan suddenly noticed the unusual movement of the Frostfall Sword in the space. She raised her hand and took the Frostfall Sword out of the space, and the Frostfall Sword emitted a series of sword ringing sounds.
"Yuan, what happened?" Ruan Xiyan asked.
“Master, the spiritual energy here is abundant, and the Frostfall Sword is an extraordinary divine weapon that can resonate with the purest spiritual energy.”
"This spiritual energy helps to temper the Frostfall Sword, increasing its power and also helping it break the seal."
"So that's how it is." Ruan Xiyan placed the Frostfall Sword beside her.
A man and a sword absorbed spiritual energy to cultivate.
Several hours later, Ruan Xiyan slowly opened her eyes, stretched, and inadvertently caught sight of the elf waiting not far away.
Ruan Xiyan tilted her head in confusion and waved to the little elf.
The little elf immediately ran over happily, clutching a spirit fruit, saying, "Pretty brother, I picked a spirit fruit for you to eat."
The spiritual fruit was green, and Ruan Xiyan thought it was just an ordinary wild fruit. She smiled and accepted it, saying, "Thank you."
Then she took out a pill and handed it to the little elf, saying, "Since you gave me a fruit, I'll give you a pill. Try it, it's delicious."
These pills were made by her for the little creatures in the space. Biqiong and the others had picky tastes, so she made the pills into all sorts of flavors.
The little elf held the pill, which was almost bigger than her head, and took a small bite. "It's sweet and sour, handsome brother, so delicious!"
The elf's eyes sparkled.
"If you like it, that's fine." Ruan Xiyan ate the spirit fruit that the little elf had given her. The spirit fruit was juicy, but it was bland and tasteless. It wasn't that it was bad, but it was definitely not delicious either.
Since this spiritual fruit was a gift from the little elf, Ruan Xiyan ate it as if it were water.
The moment Ruan Xiyan finished eating the spiritual fruit, she instantly felt that the spiritual energy in her body had become much purer, and even her muscles and bones had been strengthened.
A look of delight flashed in Ruan Xiyan's eyes; that spiritual fruit had such a miraculous effect.
This is the territory of the Spirit Clan, possessing the purest spiritual energy in the world. It is only natural that many precious spiritual herbs and fruits she has never seen before are born here.
The other little elves, seeing the water sprite happily munching on the pill, silently swallowed their saliva. "Ah Shui, can I have a bite too?"
The water sprite replied without looking up, "No, this is mine."
