Her features were still exquisite and flawless, beautiful beyond words.
Her aura remained cold.
But for some reason, her figure had become slightly more voluptuous than before.
When Yang Che inadvertently glanced at her chest, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
“It seems you, this little bug, haven’t made any progress at all. I, the Purple King, have awakened and emerged, and you, this bug, are only concerned with my chest.”
Tianxie Ziyin’s voice was clear and cold, speaking quite directly, and the faint mockery in her tone made Yang Che extremely embarrassed.
Quickly averting his gaze, Yang Che awkwardly said, “Zi Yin, I spent a lot of effort and many rare Spirit Medicine to awaken you as you instructed.”
The implication was that it had been incredibly difficult and costly for him to awaken her this time.
Tianxie Ziyin was about to say something when she suddenly let out an ‘oh’ and then quickly walked towards the Tongyou Medicine Garden.
It turned out that Tianxie Ziyin had sensed the aura of the fire lotus.
Arriving by the small pond Yang Che had specifically dug, Tianxie Ziyin looked at the ‘fire lotus’ within it, her eyes narrowing slightly.
“I found this fire lotus in an underground lava pool in Jiang Huo City. Unfortunately, the lotus pod inside was empty; the lotus seeds had long been taken by the Jiang Huo City Lord,” Yang Che said with a touch of regret.
Tianxie Ziyin waved her hand, and the empty lotus pod was plucked off.
After observing the lotus pod carefully for a long time, Tianxie Ziyin said in a chilling voice, “This is indeed a nine-colored fire lotus. You just said the lotus seeds were taken by some Jiang Huo City Lord? Are you sure?”
Yang Che heard this, unsure of Tianxie Ziyin’s intention, but still nodded and said, “Although I can’t be completely certain, it’s highly probable.”
“Good. Now take me, the Purple King, to find that Jiang Huo City Lord.”
Tianxie Ziyin’s clear and cold voice was filled with an unquestionable tone.
Yang Che was startled and quickly said, “Zi Yin, that Jiang Huo City Lord is a Half-Step Soul Transformation Cultivator. And Jiang Huo City is very far from here. Right now, I have more important matters that need your help.”
“Hmph, I was wondering why you awakened me, the Purple King, so quickly. So, you have something to ask for?”
Tianxie Ziyin snorted coldly, then suddenly exhaled a faint white mist, directly enveloping the lotus pod in her hand.
Yang Che was immediately surprised to see that the lotus pod quickly transformed into a drop of reddish-red liquid, which Tianxie Ziyin absorbed in one gulp.
After absorbing this drop of liquid, Yang Che vaguely noticed that Tianxie Ziyin’s previously somewhat illusory body seemed to solidify by a fraction.
“Speak, what do you need from me, the Purple King?”
Tianxie Ziyin asked while looking at other parts of the Tongyou Medicine Garden, as if she had sensed something else good.
Although Yang Che heard the teasing in Tianxie Ziyin’s words, he wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, he showed a hint of strangeness and said, “Zi Yin, weren’t you always thinking of bringing that Spiritual Vein from the Red Ripple Secret Realm in?”
“Hmm? You finally figured it out?”
When Tianxie Ziyin heard it was about the Spiritual Vein, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She retracted her wandering gaze and stared intently at Yang Che.
Yang Che said, “It’s not that I figured it out. It’s that this Spiritual Vein must be brought in now.”
After speaking, he immediately explained the current situation of the Cultivation World to Tianxie Ziyin in detail.
“True Gang Big Dipper Profound Formation?”
Tianxie Ziyin showed an expression of considerable interest in this Formation.
After pondering for a moment, she said, “The Sword Four Peak Master is not simple. This True Gang Big Dipper Profound Formation, even in my ancient era, was an extremely formidable Formation. If this Formation was completely set up by the Sword Four Peak Master, then I, the Purple King, would truly want to take him as a Disciple and have him follow me to Cultivate the Dao of Formation.”
Yang Che was quite shocked to hear this.
Tianxie Ziyin’s words indicated that her Formation attainments must be extremely high.
Thinking of this, his heart couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth.
But Yang Che quickly thought again that, according to what he knew, the path of Formation was truly too mentally taxing.
Only Cultivators with longer Lifespan, whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Stage and above, and for whom further progress was already extremely difficult, had ample time to comprehend and Cultivate.
And for Foundation Establishment Cultivators like him, whose Lifespan was still short, just Core Formation was already difficult, so how could he have any energy left to Cultivate the Dao of Formation?
Having understood these points, the warmth that had just risen in Yang Che’s heart quickly receded.
“Zi Yin, I’ve tried many times, but that Spiritual Vein simply cannot be brought into this Magic Stone Space by me. Is it because my cultivation is not enough?”
Yang Che immediately brought the topic back to the ‘Spiritual Vein’.
Tianxie Ziyin said, “Your cultivation is indeed a bit lacking. Although this Spiritual Vein is not a large Spiritual Vein, it is about thirty li long, and it is indeed difficult for a Foundation Establishment Stage Middle Phase Cultivator like you to move it.”
“Then what should I do?”
Yang Che looked at Tianxie Ziyin expectantly.
“Simple. Since your cultivation isn’t enough, then use Formations. By consuming the Spiritual Qi of Spirit Stone, it’s still feasible. I, the Purple King, remember you have quite a few Mid-Grade Spirit Stone. Later, I, the Purple King, will help you set up a Formation; consuming about thirty Mid-Grade Spirit Stone should be enough to bring this Spiritual Vein into the Magic Stone Space.”
Tianxie Ziyin spoke very calmly and easily, as if the difficulty of bringing in this Spiritual Vein was utterly negligible and not worth mentioning to her.
Yang Che also didn't waste any more time. He exited the Magic Stone Space and appeared beside the Lingyan Spring.
Tianxie Ziyin also didn't waste any words. She directly possessed Yang Che and used a Escape to enter the underground Spiritual Vein.
Sensing that Yang Che’s Physical Body strength at that moment only allowed her to possess him for two or three breaths longer than before, Tianxie Ziyin immediately asked coldly, “Didn’t you Cultivate the Body Refining method as described in the Jade Slip I left for you?”
“How could I have the time? To find the nine-colored fire lotus for you, I almost lost my life in Jiang Huo City,” Yang Che replied somewhat dejectedly.
Upon hearing this, Tianxie Ziyin said nothing more.
Possessing Yang Che intermittently, it took a considerable amount of effort to finally set up the Formation.
Activating the Formation, Yang Che watched the more than thirty Mid-Grade Spirit Stone being consumed, feeling another pang of heartache.
Fortunately, this thirty-li Spiritual Vein, along with the Lingyan Spring, was successfully brought into the Magic Stone Space.
The vast Spiritual Vein was placed by Yang Che around the Tongyou Medicine Garden and the Purple King Pavilion, forming a semi-circular small mountain range.
And the Lingyan Spring was directly beside the Tongyou Medicine Garden.
The Spiritual Qi of the entire Magic Stone Space instantly became incredibly dense.
Yang Che clearly sensed that the blood-colored Qi had greatly decreased, and even the blood sun above his head had its blood-color faded by a few points.
What surprised and delighted Yang Che even more was that after Yang Che irrigated the Spiritual Soil with Lingyan Spring water again, the original Yellow Rank Spiritual Soil finally completely advanced to Profound Rank.
With the matter of the Spiritual Vein and Lingyan Spring settled, Yang Che peacefully stayed in the Tongyou Medicine Garden, cultivating diligently.
According to Tianxie Ziyin, once he could completely refine and absorb the medicinal liquid made from the Level 5 Yao Beast inner core, he would advance to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
After cultivating for a month.
Yang Che finally received a message from Sima Shishu.
It turned out that Ancestor Niu of Sword Two Peak had finally returned.
Exiting the Red Ripple Secret Realm, Yang Che immediately rushed to Sword Two Peak.
Inside the main hall of Sword Two Peak.
Yang Che saw that the top three Disciples of each of the nine main peaks, as well as the top three Elders of each peak, had already gathered in this hall.
After Yang Che arrived, several rather unfriendly gazes immediately fell upon him.
After coldly sweeping his gaze over them one by one, Yang Che silently walked to Sima Shishu’s side and stood still.
At this moment, Ancestor Niu, the Sword Two Peak Master, suddenly cast dozens of mysterious rays of light, which entered the bodies of everyone in the hall.
Then, with a solemn expression, he said, “Now I announce that our Qing Jian Sect will move the entire sect in a little over a month, taking advantage of the opening of the ‘Boundary Battlefield’. Everyone in this hall must keep this absolutely confidential, and not a single bit must be leaked.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall immediately fell into shock.
Then, everyone began to whisper and discuss.
But since it was spoken by a Half-Step Soul Transformation Old Ancestor, and the Old Ancestors of the other peaks were not present, no one dared to object.
Yang Che pondered for a moment in his heart, thinking that moving the sect by taking advantage of the ‘Boundary Battlefield’ was indeed a good idea.
However, if the delay was too long, it might also become a huge problem.
While he was thinking, Ancestor Niu suddenly said, “Before that, our sect will also send some Disciples to support the Star Dust Sect. Which peak’s Disciples are willing to go?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the Elders and Disciples of each peak all showed strange expressions.
