Chapter 20: Soul Nurturing Spirit Formation

However, Ye Chen also couldn't bear to see Ye Nan and Lin Ruoxi like that, so he followed behind Lin Ruoxi, continually persuading her.

Only when the amusement park's business hours were about to end did he finally succeed in persuading her.

However, Ye Chen also had a doubt arise in his mind: "How did my father... chase after my mother? This question seems... rather serious..."

Ye Chen thought for a while, then attributed it to "Perhaps this is just love."

After leaving the amusement park, Ye Nan drove while Lin Ruoxi and Ye Nan sat in the back, and Ye Nan constantly observed Lin Ruoxi through the front mirror.

However, Lin Ruoxi still kept a cold face, seeming to not want to pay him any attention at all.

Seeing them like this, how could Ye Chen not understand why Lin Ruoxi was acting this way?

It was simply because Ye Nan caused a disturbance in the haunted house, plus he kept teasing other people's children without any sense of propriety—what if he scared someone's child into harm?

Lin Ruoxi was upset with Ye Nan for his sake and for the family's sake.

But now, Ye Chen only wants Ye Nan to drive properly; if it weren't for him secretly correcting Ye Nan's trajectory a few times, they might have already all flown up to the sky.

Seeing this, Ye Chen helplessly shook his head.

"Old man, you really need to wise up."

He muttered to himself, then corrected the small car's trajectory again.

The journey originally should have taken only twenty minutes, but Ye Nan stubbornly drove for about thirty minutes; Ye Chen felt helpless and wanted to give Ye Nan some advice on this matter.

But, he himself is just a single dog—how could he possibly advise Ye Nan?

So this matter still has to be digested by Ye Nan himself.

However, by the time they reached the doorstep, Lin Ruoxi's complexion had clearly improved; it was obvious she wasn't that angry, she just wanted to give Ye Nan a lesson.

Ye Nan was also aware of this; he had been keeping an eye on the change in Lin Ruoxi's expression.

Therefore, after Lin Ruoxi's expression changed, his face instantly broke into a smile, no longer like before—wilted like a frost‑hit eggplant, limp and listless.

Thus, he followed behind Lin Ruoxi with a full face of smiles.

However, Lin Ruoxi didn't even give him a proper glance.

But Ye Nan didn't really care either.

After returning home, Ye Nan voluntarily entered the kitchen to prepare tonight's dinner.

Ye Chen observed all of this, and he could also sense the change in Lin Ruoxi's mood.

In response, he could only say, "A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea—hard to fathom."

However, he didn't dwell on it, knowing that Lin Ruoxi and Ye Nan wouldn't have any major conflict, so he simply stopped worrying about it.

His thoughts turned to the matter of Bai Lingling in the haunted house.

Since after talking with Bai Lingling his strength had risen again, he now understood even more clearly why Bai Lingling was trapped in the haunted house.

Bai Lingling's luck was extremely good; the location of the haunted house is an excellent natural soul‑nurturing spot—otherwise, her soul would likely have already dissipated in this world.

Moreover, this natural soul‑nurturing place is also a natural formation, which is why Bai Lingling is trapped there and unable to escape.

"There are currently two rather troublesome matters: one is to bring Bai Lingling out of the haunted house, and the other is how to create a soul‑nurturing place for her."

Ye Chen thought, since Bai Lingling's situation is rather special and cannot be treated by ordinary means, this is what gives him a headache.

Just as he was feeling troubled by this, he suddenly recalled that today's system reward included a "Formation Minor Accomplishment."

Upon thinking of this, he immediately slapped his forehead.

"Right! How could I have forgotten this?"

He said this, then hurriedly recalled the memories in his mind, and indeed discovered that some formations appeared in his mind.

If he had just begun to encounter these formations, they would surely seem obscure and hard to understand, but now his attainment in formations is minor accomplishment, so for him they are no problem.

"System! You are practically my god—sending a pillow when I'm sleepy; whose system is as good as yours!"

【Your strength being great is the best manifestation of this system's ability, and the reason you improve so quickly is because you often challenge beyond your level, doing things ordinary people cannot comprehend.

As the saying goes, "The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish"; the hardships you have experienced often accompany your growth in strength, which means the same as "seeking wealth amidst danger."】

Ye Chen hearing the system's words was not shocked by the system's encouragement of him, but rather shocked that the system would also use a meme.

"The bigger the waves, the more valuable the fish—system, you're keeping up with the times."

However, after Ye Chen finished speaking this time, the system did not reply to his words.

Ye Chen also didn't care whether the system replied to him; instead, he pondered in his mind about soul‑nurturing formations, and not long after he indeed found a soul‑nurturing formation.

Soul Nurturing Spirit Formation.

This formation was originally used by demonic cultivators to boost their own cultivation, but after later people's modifications it became a formation for nurturing souls and spirits.

This is merely a low‑level version; if it were high‑level, even a thread of damaged soul could be nurtured back to wholeness, reborn as a complete soul.

However, beneath this formation there is a brief introduction, and this introduction made Ye Chen feel a sudden chill.

Soul Nurturing Spirit Formation: originally created by a great demonic cultivator after slaughtering living beings to prevent souls from escaping, but because it was ineffective it was gradually abandoned.

But that demonic cultivator then created an even more terrifying magical artifact; once it appears, myriad souls are extinguished.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh, "Demonic cultivators truly live up to their name—if something doesn't work they discard it outright and immediately create an even more powerful magical artifact."

Fortunately, in the present Age of Dharma Decline, those who can cultivate are extremely few, so such demonic masters basically do not exist; even if they did, they wouldn't be able to wipe out myriad souls with a single move.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

He now has a headache over the materials needed for the formation: "Crimson gold stone, soul grass, spirit vein flowers..."

Ye Chen looked at the materials required for the formation; these things cannot be gathered by him in a short time, and whether they exist at all is another matter.

"Looks like I need to figure out how to make some money."

Ye Chen thought to himself, his current identity is extremely inconvenient because he is merely a kindergarten‑aged child; saying he wants to make big money, nobody would believe him if he said it out loud.

"Sometimes, being too young is also a sin—it seriously hinders my ability to make big money."

Ye Chen already had a plan in mind.

Those wealthy and noble people all wish for their own health, and even desire a few more years of lifespan.

As for the Supreme Health Pill that the system rewarded him with, this is nothing.

For cultivators, it may not have such a good effect, but for ordinary people, it is no different from an immortal elixir.

Ye Chen thought of this, then lightly shook his head: "Forget it, don't think too much for now; first go investigate what happened to the Bai Lingling family back then."

A drunken man beat a little girl to death; no matter what, this is big news, impossible to have no report.
