Chapter 109 Life Space (Part Two)

"Hey girl, there are tons of spiritual herbs and fruits in here, you can have this!"

With a smile on his face, Shi Qinghan took out six jade boxes from his storage ring and gently pushed them in front of Gu Shihan.

Gu Shihan raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, a hint of curiosity flashing in her beautiful eyes. She reached out her slender hand and gently lifted the lid of the jade box. In an instant, a dazzling yellow-orange light suddenly appeared.

"Spirit crystals?!" Gu Shihan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her face full of astonishment. It seemed that Gu Yufei had gained quite a lot last time.

Spirit crystals are extremely precious cultivation resources, and their value to cultivators is immeasurable. Shi Qinghan's generosity pleased Gu Shihan.

"That's right! They're spirit crystals. Girl, there are more than a dozen boxes of spirit crystals like these in this space. Let's split them in half!"

Shi Qinghan said excitedly, his eyes sparkling with joy.

Gu Shihan simply smiled and replied softly, "Brother, to be honest, when the Xuan Tian Secret Realm opened last time, I was fortunate enough to enter and explore it. I gained a lot, and I already have quite a few spirit crystals. So you should keep these spirit crystals for yourself. They will surely come in very handy if you go to the Upper Realm in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shi Qinghan shook his head vigorously, as if his tail had been stepped on, his face full of anxiety. He hurriedly said, "That won't do! Sister, these are two different things. What you have belongs to you, and what I gave you, you can accept without worry! Besides..."

Before he could finish speaking, he gently closed his eyes, seemingly concentrating his mental energy and slowly immersing his consciousness into the space.

A moment later, when he opened his eyes again, an amazing scene appeared—a large pile of items had appeared out of thin air in his hands.

Among them were more than a dozen exquisite jade boxes and several bulging storage bags.

"Here, all of these are for you!" Shi Qinghan pushed the pile of things in front of Gu Shihan without hesitation, her eyes unwavering, as if she wouldn't allow Gu any room to refuse.

Seeing this, Gu Shihan was about to open her mouth to politely refuse, saying that she didn't actually lack these items.

In a flash, he thought of his elder brother's sincere heart. If he insisted on not accepting it, it would seem like they were being distant. So he smiled and nodded, no longer refusing, and accepted the heavy gift with both hands.

A sweet smile appeared on her lips as she reached out her right hand and gently rummaged into the storage bracelet on her wrist.

In no time, she took out a small, exquisitely crafted rudimentary puppet from inside.

"Big brother, consider this puppet a return gift from your little sister. Don't underestimate it just because it's only a basic one; it's quite capable and can help you manage and organize your space more efficiently!"

Gu Shihan winked mischievously at Shi Qinghan and said with a grin.

"Little sister, what are you doing? I've already taken one of your puppets, you can keep it for yourself!" Shi Qinghan said, her face full of refusal.

Gu Shihan smiled and said, "Big brother, I happened to see someone selling these puppets when I went out last time, and they bought several at a time. Besides, my senior brother also gave me one."

So, here you go. Let me tell you, this puppet is no ordinary thing. It can not only help manage the space, but it also has many other abilities.

For example, it can cook, grill meat, stir-fry vegetables, and even brew wine! Giving it to you is absolutely perfect! "Really? Oh dear, I was worried about this before. The space is so big, I definitely can't manage it by myself. I was just thinking of finding an opportunity to buy one. Little sister, thank you so much!" Shi Qinghan looked delighted.

“Big brother, do we need to be so polite between us? Look, your contracted beast, Long Teng, can live in this space perfectly well. It’s much more comfortable than staying in that little spirit beast pouch!” Gu Shihan’s smile deepened.

"Yes, yes, yes! Long Teng hates spirit beast pouches the most. Haha, I'll take it inside and settle it down right away!" Shi Qinghan said excitedly, then quickly walked into the space with the spirit beast pouch in his hand.

He found a lush fruit tree in the space, with a relatively flat grassy area beneath it. Shi Qinghan bent down and began to prepare a cozy little nest for Long Teng.

He first found some soft, dry grass and carefully spread it out, then took out a clean piece of cloth from his storage ring and gently laid it on top.

After everything was ready, he carefully opened the spirit beast pouch and gently took Long Teng out and placed him in his den.

Looking at the sleeping Long Teng, Shi Qinghan nodded slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with his masterpiece.

After a moment's thought, he took out handfuls of crystal-clear spirit stones from his storage ring and arranged them neatly around Long Teng's little nest.

These spirit stones emitted faint fluctuations of spiritual energy, which should allow Long Teng to absorb sufficient spiritual power even in his dream, thus enabling him to grow better.

After staying in the city for two more days, the brother and sister finally packed their bags and prepared to leave the city to continue their journey towards the Soul-Devouring Forest.

"Little sister, I've heard that Black Wind Cliff is an extremely dangerous place. We have to be extra careful this time!" Shi Qinghan said to Gu Shihan with a solemn expression.

“Yes, I know. We’ll be able to enter the Soul-Devouring Forest in a few days. The journey won’t be peaceful, so it’s always good to be cautious.” Gu Shihan nodded in response.

The Soul-Devouring Forest is vast and boundless, seemingly without end. The destination Gu Shihan and her group are heading to—Black Wind Cliff—is located in the eastern part of the Soul-Devouring Forest.

The journey from here to Black Wind Cliff is long, and you will have to pass through a city called Miaoxian City along the way.

This city is more than two thousand miles away from the Soul-Devouring Forest.

It is said that this Miaoxian City is a no-man's-land, where righteous cultivators, demonic cultivators, and evil cultivators can all be found.

For this reason, Miao Xian City became a notorious city of chaos in the spirit world.

Fortunately, once inside Miao Xian City, one's safety is guaranteed to a certain extent.

Because there is a deathmatch arena in the city, if a conflict arises between two parties, they can choose to go up to the arena and settle their differences.

Of course, besides resolving disputes on the life-or-death arena, one can also choose to settle them outside the city, but the premise is that fighting must never take place inside the city.

Although Miaoxian City is known as the City of Chaos, the so-called chaos refers more to the complex and diverse composition of its people.
