Chapter 680 An unexpected gain
After Han Qingwen saw the three of them off, Zhuge Muyu appeared beside the host at the opportune moment and said:
"OP, weren't you supposed to send Niaoniao? Why was she changed?"

“That male cultivator took a liking to Xia Yiwan. I tried to persuade him, but he didn’t change his mind, so I could only go along with him.”

Zhuge Muyu frowned and said:
"She hasn't had enough time to control her body. What if something goes wrong?"

"It's alright. I've already explained the pros and cons. If something really happens, it won't be Dengyunlou's fault. At most, he'll just have to give up this body."

A glint of icy blue light flashed in Zhuge Muyu's eyes, and she didn't press further. She then respectfully said:

"Master, I'm going to repair my foundation now."

"Okay, go down!"

The three on the other side had successfully returned to "Xianke Ruyun" and were spotted by the innkeeper again. He greeted them with a smile as always.

Yunpo spoke first:

"Shopkeeper, do you have any vacant courtyards?"

The shopkeeper immediately cupped his hands and said:
"I'm so sorry, our restaurant is fully booked and there are no vacant courtyards available at the moment."

Yun Po frowned, clearly dissatisfied, so Yun Xi took the opportunity to speak:

"Yunpo, let's go to my courtyard. There won't be any vacancies in the inns of Songran City recently."

After saying that, he glanced at Xia Yiwan, his meaning quite clear.

The shopkeeper chimed in:

"You're right, esteemed guest. Recently, due to Dengyun Tower's temporary closure, almost all the inns in the city are fully booked."

Helpless, Yun Po could only turn to Xia Yiwan and say:
"I've wronged you."

Xia Yiwan smiled sweetly and replied generously:
"will not."

The three then entered the small courtyard rented by Yunxi. After Yunxi activated the protective barrier, she stepped into the courtyard first, while Lili in her arms transmitted a message to her:
"Your Excellency, you have already schemed against three disciples of Dengyun Tower in this small courtyard. I wonder what the Tower Master's expression will be when he finds out."

Yunxi patted Lili's head and said:
"This proves that the feng shui of this courtyard is good."

Then he turned to Yunpo and Xia Yiwan and said:

"That room is for you."

Yun Po had barely uttered a single "okay" when Xia Yiwan closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep. Yun Po caught her as she fell, and turned back to complain:

"Ranxi, you should at least have informed me before you acted!"

Despite his complaints, he acted swiftly, carrying the person horizontally into the main room and placing them on the jade bed before finally asking:
"What's wrong with her?"

Yunxi had already lowered the restrictions on the courtyard before leisurely entering the house. Looking at the female cultivator who was fast asleep with her eyes closed, she said:

"Her possession was incomplete; for some reason, a part of her soul was not devoured by the evil spirit, but simply fell into a deep sleep. That's why I asked you to choose her, to see if you can awaken her sleeping soul so that you can learn from her how she was possessed by the evil spirit."

Yunpo said thoughtfully:
"No wonder Han Qingwen wanted to stop me from choosing her; it turns out her primordial spirit was not completely annihilated."

"It's also possible that because she was just possessed, she's not familiar with the method of planting an evil seed in you through dual cultivation, so she was just a filler. I just didn't expect you to choose her."

"So you deliberately brought up the clan's secret cultivation location just now to make Han Qingwen think about playing the long game and not making a move against me for the time being."

Yun Xi smiled and nodded:
"Yes, since we're going to pretend to be cultivators from a reclusive family, it would be normal for us to have a few secret cultivation locations. This would also make Han Qingwen more unwilling to abandon us." "Understood. So, what's the next step?"

Yun Po didn't have the ability to see through the soul, so he simply asked directly.

"First, plant the 'Ice Soul Cicada' into the evil soul's body to put it into a deep sleep, and then I will try to awaken Xia Yiwan's soul."

"it is good."

Yun Po was also a man of action. After confirming that his actions would not harm the original owner's soul, he swiftly began to form hand seals, successfully sending the "Ice Soul Cold Cicada" he had raised into Xia Yiwan's dantian.

Yunxi and Lili stayed by their side to protect the two, while Xiaomeng ensured that Xia Yiwan would not wake up midway. Because the physical body and the evil soul that had been possessed were not completely in sync, things went smoothly and there was no recurrence of the situation where Zhuge Muyu woke up midway last time.

Half a day later, Yunpo said to Yunxi:

"Alright, the evil spirit is now asleep. It's up to you now."

After thinking for a moment, Yunxi took out the Soul-Gathering Mirror to ensure that nothing went wrong. She forcibly extracted the evil soul from Xia Yiwan's body, along with a faint white ball of divine consciousness.

After reading it, Yunpo whistled and said:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi's Soul-Gathering Mirror is truly excellent."

Yunxi merely sent the evil soul containing the "Ice Soul Cicada" into the Soul-Gathering Mirror, while returning the faint ball of divine soul light to Xia Yiwan's body, before turning to say:

"By chance, I went down to the underworld and accepted a mission from there. This soul weapon is just a temporary loan."

Yunpo nodded and said:
“I know about this. Besides you, there are three other cultivators from the Weiyu Realm who have ascended to this realm, and they also have Soul-Gathering Mirrors. However, it’s best not to show such soul artifacts to others easily, lest someone get jealous.”

Yun Xi smiled slightly and said:

"I have reached an agreement with the Ten Kings of Hell in the Underworld in order to use the Soul-Gathering Mirror. This soul weapon is not something that anyone can just snatch. Even if I perish, the Soul-Gathering Mirror will not recognize a new master."

She genuinely didn't care at all. The Soul-Gathering Mirror was a magical artifact used by ghost messengers in the underworld, specifically for capturing souls. What she and Hanlian were trying to capture were evil spirits and vengeful ghosts that had escaped from the eighteenth level of hell. The Soul-Gathering Mirror was of a higher rank than that of ordinary ghost messengers.

The underworld was also afraid that the Soul-Gathering Mirror would cause chaos in the world if it were to change hands unexpectedly. Therefore, the Ten Kings of Hell used a secret method to temporarily bind the Soul-Gathering Mirror to them. Even if they died, no one could re-bind the Soul-Gathering Mirror, and the Ten Kings of Hell would take back the soul weapon immediately.

When Yunxi encountered the Soul-Gathering Mirror, which had been accidentally lost by ghost messengers, in the mortal realm of the Weiyu Realm, the mirror had already developed consciousness and began to increase its rank by devouring the souls of mortals. It is unknown how long it stayed in the mortal realm, but it never recognized a master, which shows the uniqueness of soul artifacts.

Therefore, when Yunpo saw the Soul-Gathering Mirror, she did not hide it and generously explained the reason.

Yun Po's reputation as a "know-it-all" was well-deserved. Ever since he learned about Ran Xi, he had used his network of information to investigate her life, which is why he knew about the Soul-Gathering Mirror. He even kindly reminded her that the Soul-Gathering Mirror wouldn't easily change hands, and after learning that it wouldn't change hands easily, he didn't say anything more and immediately changed the subject:

"Xia Yiwan's soul is too weak, can it be awakened?"

Yunxi replied uncertainly:

"I don't know, but I'll give it a try."

"Okay, I'll protect you from outside."

Yun Po was very sensible; after speaking, he left the room.

Yunxi did not stop them. After Yunpo left, she set up a restriction, took out a Hong energy shield, and covered herself and Xia Yiwan inside it. Then she took out the advanced treatment chamber from her space. This was the second time she had used it since she repaired Ye Chenyu's dantian. However, this time she was repairing his divine sense, and the repair medicine needed was completely different from the last time.
