Have you cultivated your yin spirit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu mused: “I must first probe with my yin spirit, then decide whether to bring you along with my true body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was nearly cultivating my yin spirit back then—now I should have succeeded...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should have?” Xiao Qiang was speechless. “Back then your mental energy was drained—you did pass through the soul stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But yin spirit departure in Daoist practice differs from ordinary people’s...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and stared at her grandfather’s photograph for a while longer; now that she knew, she would visit him often in the days to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Wanru and the others, who had been cooped up at home with no chance to go out, they were utterly dazzled by the rows of shops and the dazzling array of goods—reaching out to touch this, gazing at that, each item beloved beyond words, their faces alight with pure delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah, what a joke,” the purple-eyed man sneered. “Most thunder cultivators have purple true qi—so are you going to kill every thunder cultivator in the world?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her steps suddenly slowed; she walked over and looked at the man across from her mother—and suddenly understood the meaning of this meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they reached Gate B, perhaps because it was the first day of registration, the school gate was crowded with vehicles, students coming and going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warm candlelight, the cozy room heated by silver charcoal, the two lovers who understood each other—winter’s chill was held at bay, transforming the scene into something like home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t want us to swallow you alive, spit out the location of the Soul Source Fruit and the Spirit-Condensing Fruit!” One demon clan member glanced warily around, then kicked the cultivator hard, urging him to reveal the location of the yin spirit fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think this has something to do with the homeroom teacher,” Wen Youyang mused. “Could it be that because Zhang Jiaqi’s grades were excellent, she treated the teacher with disrespect, and the teacher, harboring long-standing resentment, psychologically provoked her until she couldn’t bear it and jumped?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, everything surged skyward with the great axe—nearly a solid black mass of rocks, crashing down upon Zhao Zimo, who had yet to draw his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when the blood from Lian Shan had spread across the ground did he snap back to reality, stumbling backward in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that moment, the most vital connection between the outer and inner worlds would be severed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the other prisoners, they remained aboard the ship, deciding to wait quietly for the ice to melt before slipping away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mu Ziluo understood why Cang You had come to Dong Su with Mu Linfeng—he was likely searching for his long-unseen imperial brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the fat man thought this, the boy turned, stretched out his long legs, and moved with the languid grace of a noble cat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, supported by others, limped slowly along, clearly unwell. Mu Ziluo called out to the driver from her horse, halting the carriage, then led Liu Li and Liu Xiang down to approach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Ziluo’s group would remain at Ya Wu Mountain for several more days, waiting for An Ye to bring the shadow guards he had trained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beautiful eyes shimmered with a thin veil of mist, glowing softly; now glaring at him, she looked more like a lover’s pout than true anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Youqian, who was playing chess with an old friend in the heavens, sneezed.
