Yin Ershi Si's expression turned curious.
"Why do you care so much about her? As things stand, you're still rivals."
Li Weiyi used the same words Yin Ershi Si had once said to Yaoyin: "Perhaps it's because she's beautiful!"
"Then I advise you not to fall for her. You'll only end up suffering the pain of separation, harming both yourself and her."
Yin Ershi Si sighed: "She possesses the incredibly rare 'Shattered-Jade, Ice-Soul Physique', which only appears in Pure Immortal Physique. Out of ten thousand Pure Immortal Physiques, perhaps only one will have it."
"'Shattered-Jade, Ice-Soul Physique...'" Li Weiyi repeated, puzzled.
Yin Ershi Si explained, "In other words, her Pure Immortal Physique is too pure. Her body is prone to shattering like jade and cracking like ice. This rare constitution usually stems from a bizarre bloodline mutation in her parents. Her father..."
She immediately stopped speaking.
"I've only heard of Half-Immortal Physiques. I never knew there was such a thing as being too pure," Li Weiyi mused, realizing he needed to catch up on this world's knowledge.
Once I become a Divine Hidden One, I'll visit the Library Tower of the Coffin Sea Pavilion.
Yin Ershi Si said, "In this world, everything is a matter of balance. Pure Immortal Physiques with the Shattered Jade Ice Soul Physique rarely live past eighteen. Otherwise, why would she, as the granddaughter of the Yao Li Tribe's Clan Chief and a Pure Immortal Physique of such high status, be here undergoing the Hidden Sect trial?"
"Can the Hidden Sect save her?" Li Weiyi asked.
Yin Ershi Si shook her head: "History records a few instances of Pure Immortal Physiques with the Shattered Jade Ice Soul Physique surviving. They pushed their Physiques' combat potential to the absolute limit, achieving extraordinary heights. But they all found the ultimate Yang essence... something even the Hidden Sect doesn't possess either."
"If she could comprehend the Battle Technique Intent of the Jiu Li God, she might forge a path to survival, but the odds are slim."
Li Weiyi knew that many things in this world were beyond his control. Everyone had their own destiny, and in life, one would experience countless fleeting encounters and inevitable farewells.
Beauty always fades.
After a sigh of regret, one's own life must go on.
"Yin Ershi Si, you know too much!"
After saying this, Li Weiyi turned and headed straight back to the Blood Forest Cliff.
Yin Ershi Si froze, then realized what he was doing.
This guy had been probing her relationship with Yaoyin by exploiting the Yaoyin's secret and unique constitution.
Indeed, she and Yaoyin shared an extraordinary bond, which was why she knew so much about Yaoyin's condition.
Though only sixteen, Yin Ershi Si had survived to the end of the trial among a group of competitors. She couldn't possibly be entirely transparent in her emotions; she possessed a depth and maturity beyond her age.
At the end of the Spider Cave Trial, Yin Ershi Si had recognized Li Weiyi's formidable strength, likely making him Yaoyin's strongest opponent.
However, he also displayed a clear character flaw: he hadn't seized the opportunity to kill Yaoyin within the Spider Cave.
Based on these two observations, Yin Ershi Si had devised her own strategy to help Yaoyin, specifically targeting Li Weiyi's weakness.
"So he saw through it? This is troublesome. Now he has another point to hold over me."
Yin Ershi Si walked toward Yaoyin, determined to confess everything to prevent her from falling deeper into Li Weiyi's trap.
Now that Li Weiyi was essentially guaranteed to become a Divine Hidden One, he would no longer be Yaoyin's mortal enemy.
.....
The cultivation of the Mind Master realm involves continuously absorbing light to nurture fire.
No matter how powerful a Meditation Techniques are, absorbing light from nature is always a slow process.
The Radiant Flame Pill, however, was different.
Li Weiyi swallowed the first pill, and a warm sensation immediately spread through his abdomen. Then, his entire body was illuminated by the light emanating from his core, his flesh glowing like red-hot glass.
He immediately began meditating.
He imagined himself as two towering Fusang Divine Trees, rapidly absorbing all the light.
The Radiant Flame within the entire Cave Dwelling transformed into countless tiny particles, flowing like streams toward the Third Eye Spiritual Realm between his eyebrows.
Inside his Third Eye, the Spiritual Light Flame rapidly surged.
After a day and night, the light of the first Radiant Flame Pill had almost completely vanished. Thirty percent had been absorbed, while seventy percent had dissipated.
"My entire Third Eye Spiritual Realm is now filled with flame, equivalent to three months of diligent cultivation," Li Weiyi thought, a pang of regret striking him.
In exchange for saving those three months, his ten thousand Silver Coins had vanished in an instant.
"Next, I must continuously refine the spiritual flame until it condenses into a higher-grade Bright Flame."
Li Weiyi considered himself the major creditor of Yin Ershi Si and Yang Yun. He could even extort Yaoyin for a sum, since he had saved her twice.
He could afford to be a bit overbearing.
If he has no money left in the future, he would collect the debts.
He quickly swallowed the second Radiant Flame Pill.
After a day and night, the second Radiant Flame Pill's light faded.
This time, the absorption rate was slightly better, reaching 35%.
The spiritual flame in his Third Eye Spiritual Realm had become much more concentrated, its temperature noticeably higher, and its light even more dazzling.
However, it still seemed far from reaching the "Bright Flame" stage.
Third pill, fourth pill.
By the fifth day, Li Weiyi took out the last Radiant Flame Pill, his mood far from cheerful.
He had burned down a mansion in Jiu Li City in a single day, and after four consecutive days, he still hadn't broken through.
This pill was a complete scam!
It was ridiculously expensive.
He seriously suspected that Yin Ershi Si had given him fake pills.
"If this one doesn't work, I'm going to Yin Ershi Si to settle the score. She's always scheming against me. Four million Silver Coins seems too cheap. I'll make her pay dearly this time."
He raised the clay jar and gulped down a mouthful of Golden Spring before swallowing the last Radiant Flame Pill.
Half a day later, the spiritual flame in his Third Eye Spiritual Realm, after repeated compression and refinement, suddenly began to tremble violently. It shook for a full half hour, and at one moment, all the flames collapsed inward toward the center.
"Boom!"
The Third Eye Spiritual Realm fell silent.
All the raging flames condensed into a single, pea-sized Bright Flame.
This flame was as solid as a rock, unmoving and unwavering, shining like a star.
"Haha, it worked! The Bright Flame is complete!" Li Weiyi laughed wildly in his Cave Dwelling, too excited to continue meditating and absorbing the remaining Radiant Flame Pill.
He quickly pulled out the Dao Ancestor's Tai Chi Fish.
One by one, luminous particles of the Bright Flame emerged from his brow and surged toward the Tai Chi Fish, activating it.
"Whoosh!"
As the two bronze fish spun, a Tai Chi Mark appeared beneath Li Weiyi's feet.
Spatial Power erupted, pulling him toward the microscopic world within the Buddha's Relic.
In the Cave Dwelling, only the Buddha's Relic remained suspended in mid-air, supported by the Tai Chi Mark.
After experiencing weightlessness, Li Weiyi reappeared on the Blood Mud Land, a vast expanse resembling a withered sea. The Blood Mist that had enveloped and confined the entire space had receded into the distance.
"The Blood Mud Space seems to have only expanded, with no other changes," Li Weiyi sighed.
The Spirit Tablet's voice echoed in his mind: "Use your Psychic (Telekinesis) Power to try and disperse the Blood Mist at the edge of the space."
Li Weiyi quickly suppressed his emotions, entering a meditative state.
Gradually, he focused his mind, using his Psychic Power to peel away the Blood Mist bit by bit in one direction.
The mist gradually thinned.
After numerous attempts, Li Weiyi's control over Psychic (Telekinesis) Power and the Blood Mist grew increasingly proficient.
When he peeled away the final layer of the Blood Mist veil, a scene of breathtaking grandeur that had last graced his eyes months ago reappeared before him.
Behind the Blood Mist lay a vast and magnificent ocean.
At the ocean's edge stood two colossal Fusang Divine Trees, their intertwined trunks reaching tens of thousands of meters into the sky. Their lush, radiant branches and leaves stretched towards the horizon, each leaf shining like the sun and moon.
Across the sea's surface bloomed countless golden flowers of varying sizes, devoid of leaves, their white roots submerged in the water.
This was none other than the Tanggu Sea, where the Bronze Ship had sailed months ago.
The Fusang Divine Tree, Xihe...
What left Li Weiyi breathless with shock was the realization that this didn't feel like an illusion.
He could smell the unique fragrance emanating from Xihe, hear the sound of the waves, and feel the radiant light emanating from the Fusang Divine Tree.
"This... Spirit Tablet Master, is the tempering of the Golden Vein Meridian what you meant by using the Fusang Divine Tree's radiance? How could the Shaoyang Star connect to the Tanggu Sea? And how did you know about this?"
Li Weiyi struggled to calm himself, but his eyes remained fixed on the Fusang Divine Tree, his facial muscles completely frozen.
Senior Spirit Tablet said, "The Shaoyang Star is an extraordinary spatial treasure. During our war, it directly teleported us from all corners of the world. In other words, it's not surprising that it can open spatial barriers to any location."
"As for why you appeared directly beneath the Fusang Divine Tree after parting the Blood Mist, I don't know the reason. When you first entered the Shaoyang Star and first parted the Blood Mist, the Fusang Divine Tree and this ocean briefly appeared. That's why I speculated that as your Psychic (Telekinesis) Power grows stronger, you might be able to connect with this sea."
"Perhaps... it has something to do with your reckless modification of the One Blade Grass Meditation Technique!"
"When you meditate, you imagine yourself as the Fusang Tree. This might have, in some way, convinced the Shaoyang Star that you wanted to come here. So when you parted the Blood Mist, you arrived right here."
Li Weiyi found this hard to believe, muttering to himself, "So if I imagine returning to Earth, could I open a spatial barrier to Earth?"
"You could try," Senior Spirit Tablet replied.
Li Weiyi's heart raced with excitement. He immediately began to visualize Shouqiu, the ancient temple where he had cultivated with his Master. Then, he channeled his Psychic (Telekinesis) Power, peeling away layers of the Blood Mist in the opposite direction.
But behind the Blood Mist lay an endless expanse of desolate Blood Mud Land - the landscape of Shaoyang Star.
"Perhaps I'm not focused enough."
He tried several more times, until his spirit began to flag, before finally giving up.
The Spirit Tablet Master said, "Perhaps your Psychic (Telekinesis) Power cultivation isn't strong enough yet. The stronger your Psychic (Telekinesis) Power, the greater your control over Shaoyang Star will be."
"Or maybe I don't truly yearn to return. It was just a fleeting impulse."
Li Weiyi forced a wry smile, then rubbed his temples and stood up again. He walked toward the vast, undulating sea where the Fusang Divine Tree stood, knowing that tempering his Golden Vein Meridian was the most urgent task.
However, as soon as he reached the edge of the Blood Mud Space, an invisible spatial barrier blocked his path, preventing him from truly reaching the sea.
"This isn't a true Space Channel?" Li Weiyi asked.
The Spirit Tablet Master replied, "No, it's because your Psychic (Telekinesis) Power isn't strong enough. If you become a Great Spiritual Mind Master, you might be able to break through this spatial barrier."
Breaking through from the Square Inch Blaze to the Square Inch Bright Flame had cost Li Weiyi five Radiant Flame Pills, equivalent to consuming five mansions.
He couldn't even imagine how much it would cost to break through to the Foot Earth Flame realm. He decided to take a more gradual approach, consuming light and nurturing his flame step by step.
"Even though the space barrier blocks us, the Fusang Divine Tree's radiance is real. There's no place in the world more suitable for refining my Golden Vein Meridians than here, is there?"
All Li Weiyi's shock was replaced by excitement.
He began drinking from the Golden Spring while simultaneously practicing the Fusang Divine Tree Meditation Technique. At the same time, he used the Azure King Tempering Method to continuously absorb the Fusang Divine Tree's emitted light, infusing it into his Silver Veins.
Instead of merging all ninety-six Veins simultaneously as before, he focused on refining just one.
Time flew by.
"Whoosh!"
On the other side of the space barrier, the sea boiled. Endless spiritual flames burned deep beneath the waves, eventually coalescing into a Golden Crow that soared out of the ocean.
The instant the Golden Crow emerged, the light emanating from the space barrier intensified a thousandfold.
As Li Weiyi practiced the Azure King Tempering Method, he felt all the light particles go out of control, cascading down like a waterfall and surging into his body like a windstorm, merging into his Veins.
The silver Vein connecting to the center of his right palm first shimmered with a layer of golden light, then grew brighter and brighter, releasing a scorching and powerful energy.
Like a Dragon Meridian, it surged up his arm, extending toward his internal organs and back before shooting straight to the top of his head.
The first Golden Vein Meridian had been tempered in just one day.
Li Weiyi looked at his right arm, then suddenly stood up from the ground, gazing at the Golden Crow soaring into the distance.
"Fusang and the Golden Crow are mutually dependent. And when I meditate... I become the Fusang Divine Tree."
"Spirit Tablet Master, I think the key to tempering Golden Vein Meridians with the Azure King Tempering Method is to cultivate both the Fusang Divine Tree Meditation Technique and the Martial Dao simultaneously. Combining these with the Tanggu Sea's treasure trove... Well, that's adding too much! Anyway, I feel like it won't be long before I can temper all the silver Veins in my body into Golden Vein Meridians."
"Master Guan, how many Golden Vein Meridians did you say you've tempered?"
