By the time Yue Guan finished absorbing his energy, they had already been in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire for half a day.
Gui Mei also said to Yun Yi, "Are you going to absorb it here? If not, we can go back."
Yun Yi looked at Yue Guan with a questioning look on his face, but Yue Guan, who was planting, was extremely focused and didn't notice Yun Yi's expression.
Gui Mei continued, "Let's go. We don't know how long it will take for him to take care of this place. Let's go back first. You can use this time to give the things to Nana and strengthen your second martial arts spirit. The old poisonous creature won't leave until he has declared his sovereignty by beating him up. Let him play with the old poisonous creature for a while. I'll play with you first when we get back."
Yun Yi smiled and said, "Then please give me your guidance."
Gui Mei raised his lips slightly and said, "Boy, how much you can learn is up to you. I won't hold back."
Hearing this, Yun Yi had an ominous premonition in his heart. After that, the ghostly figure instantly disappeared in front of Yun Yi, and the next moment, Yun Yi felt the familiar feeling of weightlessness.
The ghost picked up Yun Yi, his figure became illusory, and he appeared a hundred meters away in a few breaths.
Gui Mei and Yun Yi traveled at full speed and arrived at Wuhun City in even less time than when they left. On the morning of the third day after their departure, the two of them had already arrived at Wuhun City.
After entering the city, Guimei took Yun Yi directly to the Holy Maiden Temple. As soon as they arrived, Hu Liena came out with Zhu Zhuqing.
Seeing this, Yun Yi smiled slightly. The relationship between Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing was quite harmonious. It was obvious that Zhu Zhuqing should be living with Hu Liena these days.
Zhu Zhuqing was relieved to see Yun Yi coming back. Ever since she saw what Yun Yi experienced in the City of Slaughter, Zhu Zhuqing had been worrying about Yun Yi every day. She found that she could no longer live without this man.
"Ghost Elder..." The two bowed slightly towards the ghost.
"Why is Elder Ju not here?" Hu Liena asked with some confusion.
Gui Mei nodded slightly and said to Hu Liena, "Nana, you also know that Yue Guan can't walk when he sees flowers. He has to take good care of such a beautiful place."
Hu Liena smiled slightly when she heard this and said, "This is indeed the style of Elder Ju. I didn't expect that even Elder Gui would say that it is a good place. It seems that the place is really magical."
Gui Mei nodded and smiled, saying, "Okay, the next thing will be handed over to this kid. After you finish, you can come to the training ground of Wuhun Academy. I will have fun with this kid there."
After saying that, the ghostly figure disappeared. Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena both looked at Yun Yi with puzzled expressions.
"Is there anything else that has not been completed?" Hu Liena asked Yun Yi with some confusion.
"Of course, it is to prepare a betrothal gift for our Holy Lady." Yun Yi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Hu Liena blushed and came to Yun Yi, gently pinched Yun Yi's arm, and said softly, "Zhu Qing is still here, what are you talking about?"
Yun Yi chuckled and asked, "I didn't say anything nonsense, and Zhu Qing didn't confiscate my betrothal gift. Doesn't your Highness the Saint want it?"
Zhu Zhuqing gave Yun Yi a blank look. She could probably guess what Yun Yi was going to give.
Hearing that Zhu Zhuqing also had one, and it seemed that she had already accepted it, Hu Liena pouted her lips slightly and stretched out her hand towards Yun Yi.
Yun Yi then took out the box containing the Xingluo Spiritual Pearl from his soul guide and handed it to Hu Liena, chuckling, "Saint Lady, are you willing to marry me?"
Hu Liena glared at Yun Yi with a red face, but without saying a word, she snatched the box from Yun Yi's hand and quickly ran back to her Holy Maiden Temple.
"Hey... I haven't taught you how to absorb it yet." Yun Yi said towards Hu Liena's back.
Hu Liena paused, as if she was struggling for a while, but the next moment she turned around with a red face, came to Yun Yi and pinched him hard.
Yun Yi took the two of them by the hand and teased Hu Liena, "Your Highness the Saint, why don't you invite me to visit your Saint's Palace?"
Hu Liena blushed and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Zhu Zhuqing interrupted her directly, "Sister Nana, don't listen to his nonsense. Go directly to your room, or the place where you often practice. It will be good for you to absorb it earlier."
Hearing this, Hu Liena blushed and nodded, with some anticipation in her heart. It was already a natural talent for her to cultivate to the Soul King level at this age, according to the records of the Spirit Hall. However, after practicing with Zhu Zhuqing for the past two days, Hu Liena found that Zhu Zhuqing was about the same age as Yun Yi, but her soul power level was not much weaker than hers, and she was even better in strength and speed. If it were not for the suppression of her mental power and the amplification of the soul bone in her head, she would have almost been defeated by Zhu Zhuqing.
Hu Liena was originally very puzzled. Even though Zhu Zhuqing had also learned those skills, her soul power level did not improve much. Today, Hu Liena had a guess in her mind. Perhaps the difference was in the so-called "bride price".
Soon the three of them arrived at a room.
Yun Yi looked at Hu Liena and chuckled, "Open it and take a look. I'll introduce it to you."
Hu Liena snorted and opened the box obediently. What she saw was an ordinary black branch with a palm-sized golden fruit growing on the top.
"What is this?" Hu Liena asked curiously.
"This thing is called the Star Spirit Pearl, and it is an immortal product that is closest to humans. After merging with humans, it can become the soul core of humans in the future. Every night, the Star Spirit Pearl will absorb the essence of the stars and the moon to improve itself. Swallowing it can gain the power of the stars and the moon." Yun Yi said softly.
"Soul core?" Hu Liena said with a look of horror.
As Bibi Dong's disciple, Hu Liena was naturally well-read and she knew very well what soul core meant.
Hu Liena looked at Zhu Zhuqing, her voice trembling as she asked curiously, "Zhuqing, what did Xiaoyi give you to eat?"
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and said, "The immortal items Xiaoyi gave us are different."
Yun Yi raised his hand and gently rubbed Hu Liena's head. "Silly girl, immortal items are all unique. Different things are suitable for different people. Zhuqing was born with deficiencies. In order to make up for Zhuqing's deficiencies, I chose a Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone for Zhuqing. Eating it can moisturize the tendons and strengthen the bones, and the Qi can flow through the eight extraordinary meridians. Your talent is better than Zhuqing's, so this one is more suitable for you. It can be regarded as clearing some obstacles for the future."
"This can create a soul core. It's too precious, so you'd better absorb it yourself." Hu Liena said as she pushed the box slowly in front of Yun Yi with reluctance on her face.
Yun Yi was moved upon hearing this. Even though he had experienced this kind of touching feeling more than once, this feeling of being touched was deepened again and again, proving that he was not wrong about the person.
Yun Yi glanced at the two people not far away and said softly, "I'm very happy that you both said the same thing." Hu Liena looked at Yun Yi with a puzzled look on her face, while Zhu Zhuqing chuckled and explained, "Sister Nana, please accept it. We have all refused it, but in the end Xiao Yi always has various reasons for us to accept it."
Then Yun Yi followed Zhu Zhuqing's words and took out a long box again and said with a smile, "Of course I also have some to take. If you really don't want it, forget it. I'll take two."
After saying that, Yun Yi reached out to take the box in front of Hu Liena. Zhu Zhuqing was about to stop him, but Hu Liena slapped Yun Yi's hand away in an instant, took the box back, glared at Yun Yi, snorted, but said nothing.
Yun Yi immediately laughed, moved closer to Hu Liena, and whispered in her ear, "It seems that our Saint Lady is still quite rebellious."
Hu Liena blushed and pushed Yun Yi's face away, saying embarrassedly, "I won't talk to you anymore. I want to absorb it."
After saying that, Hu Liena began to absorb it under Yun Yi's guidance.
Watching Hu Liena slowly entering the state of cultivation, Yun Yi nodded with satisfaction, but Zhu Zhuqing on the side looked at him resentfully.
Feeling Zhu Zhuqing's resentful gaze, Yun Yi hurriedly moved closer to her with a smile.
"Hmph... Your Holy Lady started practicing and only remembered me? She hasn't said a word to me since she came back." Zhu Zhuqing snorted, turned her body away, and said angrily.
Yun Yi also gently embraced her from behind, rested his chin on Zhu Zhuqing's shoulder, and whispered in her ear, "Thank you, Zhuqing, thank you for accepting them."
Zhu Zhuqing snorted and said, "You only know how to say these nice things to coax me and bully me because I have no power or influence."
"How can you be powerless? To me, you are the biggest." Yun Yi chuckled and then kissed his cheek.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing subconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, but still said stubbornly, "Yes, I am the oldest, so I have to give way to these little ones."
"The fact that you can accept them is also a manifestation of your love for me, and I understand that in my heart." Yun Yi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing turned around, snuggled into Yun Yi's arms, and found a comfortable position to lean against Yun Yi's arms.
The two looked at each other, Yun Yi's face was full of smiles, Zhu Zhuqing curled her lips at Yun Yi and said, "You and your Saint Lady will always have endless things to say."
"You are all unique, just like this fairy product. Nana is more lively, and my little cat is quiet but more clingy." Yun Yi chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing blushed and said angrily, "You know us all very well."
Yun Yi's hands began to move restlessly at this time, and even tried to reach the peak, but were slapped down by Zhu Zhuqing's hand.
"I've been away for too long, so I haven't been able to feel it clearly in the past two days." Yun Yi chuckled.
Zhu Zhuqing blushed and glared at Yun Yi, saying, "That's what I meant. Don't move. We are still in Sister Nana's room."
Yun Yi chuckled and whispered, "It would be better if you didn't say it. It seems to become more exciting after you said it."
"Bad guy, you are not allowed to contact those questionable nobles from now on." Zhu Zhuqing said with a red face.
Yun Yi gently brushed Zhu Zhuqing's long black hair and chuckled, "Okay, now I've coaxed my little kitty. Kitty, help me protect the law."
Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly and reluctantly left Yun Yi's arms. Yun Yi also opened the long box containing the Black Jade Bamboo. Looking at the Black Jade Bamboo emitting precious light, Yun Yi couldn't help but feel expectant. According to the introduction in the Yueguan Atlas, the Black Jade Bamboo can make the weapon spirit extremely strong and greatly increase the power of the spirit itself.
Then, Yun Yi began to absorb it according to the method given by Yue Guan.
As Yun Yi entered the state of cultivation, Zhu Zhuqing beside him looked at Yun Yi with soft eyes, quietly waiting for Yun Yi and the other person to wake up.
Time gradually passed by minute by minute.
Hu Liena sat there quietly, a light red mist emerged from the surface of her skin, swirling around her body to form a vortex, and lingering around her body.
Yun Yi's change was the most obvious. Under Zhu Zhuqing's surprised gaze, Yun Yi's Wuji floated quietly in front of him. At this time, Wuji was fundamentally different from its original appearance. It was no longer the ordinary black long stick. Now, Wuji had lifelike dragon patterns circling at both ends. The dragon patterns emitted a red and blue misty aura, and the entire stick was set off by a layer of rich golden light.
Because Yun Yi's body is special, he is much faster in absorbing and refining. Even though Hu Liena entered the absorbing state earlier than Yun Yi, Yun Yi still opened his eyes first.
Seeing the "Wuji" floating in front of him, his eyes were full of disbelief, because he understood that this was not just the effect of the immortal product. The blue and red dragon patterns entwined at both ends of Wuji represented two divine dragons.
Looking at his martial soul, Yun Yi smiled. It seemed that he had gained something from his deep exploration of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, but he just didn't discover it.
"This effect is similar to that of Qianjun and Jiangmo's Panlong Stick, but how can I seal the dragon soul in my martial soul with my Soul Emperor level cultivation alone?" Yun Yi murmured in his heart.
You know, the immortal product of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire was not available until the Huo Gua era ten thousand years later, when it became a hundred thousand year soul beast and had the ability to summon the remaining soul of the dragon from the bottom of the spring to fight.
Yun Yi thought about it, then slowly picked up the Wuji in front of him. Holding it in his hand was not much different from before, but the Wuji set off by the golden light was telling of his strength all the time.
"I don't know if this dragon pattern is useful. I can ask Qianjun Jiangmo for advice if I have a chance. They should know everything about this thing." Yun Yi murmured in his heart.
"Xiaoyi, your martial soul has actually evolved." Zhu Zhuqing said in surprise.
Yun Yi nodded slightly.
The evolution of martial soul may not be so amazing in Yun Yi's eyes, but evolution in Douluo Continent is something that many people cannot achieve in their entire lives.
The most direct way to change a martial soul is to absorb soul rings, but martial souls also represent talent to a certain extent.
Those with excellent talents must have high-quality martial souls. Many people who have cultivated to the level of Title Douluo have not seen any qualitative changes in their martial souls even after absorbing nine spirit rings. For those with poor talents, the quality of their martial souls is mostly low, but they find it difficult to absorb more and better spirit rings. This situation directly leads to the fact that ordinary people can only rely on martial soul mutations to achieve the effect of evolution after awakening their martial souls. (End of this chapter)
