Chapter 324: Cooperation

As the words were spoken.

Both of them were stunned, as if they had not expected their thoughts to be so identical.

Yun Xin was the first to react, deferring, "Wanxin Fairy, please go first; I am in no hurry."

Yang Wanxin's pretty face flushed, "No—no need, Fairy Yun Xin, please go first. The difficulty I encountered is not too critical; I can wait."

Hearing the two defer to each other, Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "There is no need for you two Fairies to be so modest; you are also underestimating me, this Nascent Soul Stage expert."

"Rest assured, you may both come together."

"Wang has now broken through in cultivation, and both my energy and my understanding of cultivation have greatly improved; I am fully capable of guiding both Fairies at the same time."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the two looked delighted and nodded shyly.

……

Three days later.

Wang Jianqiang walked out of the Alchemy Room.

His entire being could be described as refreshed and invigorated.

As expected of the Nascent Soul Stage.

Ever since the breakthrough, his strength had truly soared.

He could handle anyone with ease.

Is this what it means to be invincible at the same rank?

He returned to the Cultivation Room.

Mu Lingxi had already left.

He closed the door of the Cultivation Room, flipped his palm, and took out a White Jade Ring.

This ring was the very Spirit Ring seized from Ye Lingyun.

Ye Lingyun's master, that mysterious white-haired woman, was hiding within this Spirit Ring.

Previously, he had not yet broken through to Nascent Soul, and his Spirit Sense was not strong enough to break through the ring's defenses.

Now, having broken through to Nascent Soul with thirty times the Soul Power, his Soul Power far exceeded that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.

He reckoned he should be able to break through the ring's defense.

He moved his intent.

His thick Spirit Sense surged out, condensed into a needle, and pierced toward the White Jade Ring.

The moment his Spirit Sense touched the White Jade Ring, a layer of glowing white light suddenly appeared on the ring, blocking his Spirit Sense.

Wang Jianqiang had anticipated this and did not show the slightest look of surprise.

He poured out all of his Spirit Sense.

Crack!

Amidst a clearly audible shattering sound, the Spirit Light on the White Jade Ring broke apart.

Following the shattering of the Spirit Light, the obstruction on the White Jade Ring vanished instantly.

Wang Jianqiang's consciousness blurred, and he immediately found himself inside a vast space.

This space was completely empty.

Only in the center of the space was an Ice Coffin placed.

Inside the Ice Coffin, a figure lay in slumber.

She was dressed in a palace-style long dress and possessed a head of crystal-clear silver hair.

Her skin was fair, like flawless mutton-fat jade.

Her beauty was such that even Wang Jianqiang, who was accustomed to peerless beauties, could not help but be dazed.

"This is..."

"A physical body?"

After coming to his senses, Wang Jianqiang's eyes could not help but brighten.

This woman was none other than Ye Lingyun's master.

Originally, he had thought the other party was merely a Soul Body; he had not expected her physical body to be inside the ring as well!

This was an unexpected joy.

With a hint of wariness in his heart, he slowly walked to the Ice Coffin.

Viewed at close range, the woman was even more breathtakingly beautiful.

After watching for a moment, his expression shifted.

He changed his angle to look again.

Tsk tsk, one couldn't tell before.

This one's assets were quite substantial as well.

Just then, a wisp of green smoke suddenly drifted out from the woman in the Ice Coffin, transforming into the figure of the silver-haired woman.

She seemed extremely weak; her Soul Body was very faint, nearly transparent.

After the silver-haired woman's Soul Body appeared, she looked at Wang Jianqiang in anger, "You shameless scoundrel, how could you do such a thing?"

"Finally willing to come out?"

Wang Jianqiang straightened his half-bent waist and said with a smile.

"You knew I had already awakened?"

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, the silver-haired woman was startled.

"No, I was just testing you." Wang Jianqiang smiled and looked the silver-haired woman's Soul Body up and down, "The facts prove that my decision was very correct; you indeed had not fallen into a deep sleep."

The silver-haired woman was silent for a moment, then looked at Wang Jianqiang, "What do you want?"

To buy time for Ye Lingyun, she had self-detonated the vast majority of her Soul Power.

She had thought she would be able to escape smoothly.

She had not expected that while Ye Lingyun escaped, she was the one left behind.

Now, her Soul Power was nearly exhausted, and her Soul Origin was severely damaged.

Let alone contending with Wang Jianqiang.

Being able to barely remain conscious was already considered not bad.

"You are my enemy; you tell me what I want?"

A thick smile hung on Wang Jianqiang's face, and there was not the slightest hint of sharpness in his tone.

However, upon hearing this voice, the silver-haired woman could not help but feel a chill in her heart.

Her gaze flickered, "There are no eternal enemies in this world; if you are willing to spare me and promise to help me resurrect, I can guide your cultivation."

"I won't hide it from you, my strength back then was far beyond your imagination."

Hearing her words, Wang Jianqiang's gaze flickered, "Is that also what you promised Ye Lingyun back then?"

"I do not trust anyone, so..."

"Ye Lingyun never entered the Spirit God Ring, so he does not know that I still possess a physical body."

"My initial purpose in taking him as a disciple was only to make his strength grow stronger to help me recover my Soul Power."

"As for the matter of resurrection, in my original plan, I intended to scheme it myself after my Soul Power was sufficiently strong."

"Unfortunately..."

"Your appearance interrupted my plan."

The silver-haired woman did not hide anything and spoke frankly to Wang Jianqiang.

Hearing the silver-haired woman's words, Wang Jianqiang sneered, "Your physical body's vitality has not been severed, so how can you speak of resurrection?"

"Are you trying to swindle me?"

The silver-haired woman shook her head, "My physical body once suffered heavy damage; the reason it was able to preserve its vitality is entirely due to this Ice Coffin."

"Once it leaves this Ice Coffin, it will die completely within three hours."

Wang Jianqiang's expression shifted, and after pondering for a moment, he said, "I am a mortal enemy of Ye Lingyun, and you are his master; if I help you, wouldn't that be aiding the enemy?"

The silver-haired woman's heart stirred; although Wang Jianqiang's tone was cold.

She heard a sign of loosening in his words.

She smiled, "The world is full of hustle and bustle, all for the sake of profit; my original intention in taking him as a disciple was merely for the sake of resurrection."

"If you can help me, Ye Lingyun is naturally dispensable."

Hearing her words, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow, "You woman are truly realistic; if I lose my use to you in the future, I'm afraid you would burn bridges without the slightest hesitation, right?"

The silver-haired woman did not deny it and said indifferently, "But the current situation is that you are useful to me, and I can also provide you with benefits; we are in a situation of mutual cooperation and benefit."

Wang Jianqiang was silent for a moment and said, "How am I to help you?"

The silver-haired woman waved her palm, and an ancient Jade Slip flew over from a corner.

"This Jade Slip contains a Pill Formula; you need to help me find the Pill ingredients to refine this Pill and refine it for me."

"During this period, I will do my utmost to assist your cultivation."

Wang Jianqiang took the Jade Slip and briefly examined it.

After coming back to his senses, he nodded readily.

"Deal."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang agree, the silver-haired woman was overjoyed.

Just at this moment.

Wang Jianqiang's voice came again, "Now, you first return to your physical body and step out of the Ice Coffin."

The silver-haired woman was stunned, then frowned.

"Didn't I already say that my physical body will die rapidly once it leaves the Ice Coffin?"

Wang Jianqiang curled his lips.

"So what?"

"Doesn't it only die after three hours?"

"Just come out for an hour or two, you won't die."
