Junior sister, I really need to control you

He had heard of the so-called "Holy Venerable," who was said to be the legendary founder of the Holy Yuan Palace, but the era was too ancient, and it was just a legend.

He strongly suspected that this so-called "Holy Venerable" was most likely the earth immortal who left behind this ruined mansion.

She just said that only the reincarnation of a Holy Venerable can wield the Luo Tian San Shou technique with ease.

However, based on his own experience, it seems that the key to whether or not the Three Yuan Qi is consumed lies in whether the Three Yuan Qi used during the performance comes from oneself.

In other words, that holy being, or rather, the earth immortal, must have used his own essence, energy, and spirit to create the Three Primal True Techniques, and then spread these Three Primal Qi throughout the small world after his fall.

The cultivators in this small world were led astray, practicing the Three Elements True Technique from the very beginning, following the wrong path.

He cultivated the ninth level of the Three Elements True Technique using the correct method and his own essence, energy, and spirit, and was therefore regarded by Jingxuan as the reincarnation of the Holy Venerable.

However, her appearance before she fell into a coma suggested that she was also caught in a dilemma.

That holy being seems to be a very clear woman, and her "reincarnation" will also be a woman.

Presumably, in her eyes, she might be the reincarnation of the Holy Venerable, but it's also somewhat unlikely that she is the reincarnation of the Holy Venerable.

Moreover, this so-called "reincarnation," the "holy fetus" she mentioned, and the sacrificial rituals performed by those people...

All of these things combined don't seem like a serious matter at all.

He had overheard their conversation with Jingxuan from a distance and learned her name and that she was the Holy Maiden of the Holy Yuan Palace, but he didn't know whether she was a Water Element or an Earth Element.

This woman clearly possesses important clues about the Earth Immortal's inheritance. The best course of action now is to take her back and, once she wakes up, get all the answers from her.

……

Inside Fanghua Pavilion.

Chi Ling's face was pale but rosy, and she leaned limply against the chaise longue, her eyes glistening with tears.

"Damn it, even Young Master Li couldn't break that restriction. It's really strange." Su Sheng frowned.

Li Yinsheng shook his head: "That restriction is not only ancient, but also extremely complex and sturdy. With my current mastery of array formations, it is indeed a bit of a headache."

Despite that turn of events, he and the two women still proceeded to the ancient ruins as planned.

The only difference was that he had taken Jingxuan Saintess with him, who remained unconscious.

Anyway, she was at the peak of the Earthly Realm and had also taken pills to nourish her body, so it didn't affect her normal travel.

Upon arriving at the ancient ruins, Li Yinsheng realized that he had oversimplified the matter.

The ancient ruins looked unremarkable; they were just a small valley with murals on both sides.

But after studying it, he discovered that the array was even more complex than the array on the giant pillars in the center of Shengyuan City.

Moreover, many of these ancient restrictions have been lost, and because they are incompatible with the current array system, they are several times more difficult to break.

Given his current skill in array formations, breaking it would be a protracted and lengthy process.

For some reason, Su Sheng and Chi Ling didn't seem very disappointed, and it seemed that neither of them was particularly eager for the things in that ancient ruin.

After returning disappointed, he went back to Fanghua Pavilion with Su Sheng and Chi Ling.

Although the exploration of ancient ruins failed, the essence still needs to be exchanged normally.

This time, he and Chi Ling even transferred more essence to each other than last time.

Once he has refined all the essence from this time, he estimates that the solidity of his Golden Crow phantom will double.

After bidding farewell to Chi Ling and Su Sheng, Li Yinsheng used his magic to lift up Saintess Jingxuan, cast a spell on her to conceal her form and aura, and then left.

It's a pity I don't have any magical artifacts that can hold people, otherwise I wouldn't have needed to go through all this trouble.

As Li Yinsheng walked out of Fanghua Pavilion, he thought to himself.

Chapter 204 Earth Immortal Primordial Embryo

In Li Yinsheng's residence in Shengyuan City.

Saintess Jingxuan remained unconscious, lying quietly on the bed.

Mu Xiaoyu stood to the side, her face full of curiosity: "Senior brother, why did you bring back a comatose woman?"

“There are some things about her that I’m curious about,” Li Yinsheng said, rubbing Mu Xiaoyu’s head.

"Actually, she was still conscious at first, but after being attacked and injured by bad guys, she suffered a mental breakdown, which is why she fell into a coma."

"I'll feed her some healing pills and use the Six Reliefs of Withering and Flourishing to nourish her body. She should wake up soon."

Mu Xiaoyu nodded, then exclaimed in realization, "I know! It's a classic 'hero saves the damsel in distress' story! That's how it's always written in storybooks!"

Li Yinsheng's gaze shifted, and he rubbed Mu Xiaoyu's head, his face full of seriousness.

"It wouldn't be wrong to say that she was saving a beauty. After all, although this Fellow Daoist Jingxuan is slightly inferior to Miss Shangguan and her senior uncle, she is indeed a great beauty compared to my junior sister."

Mu Xiaoyu's eyes widened instantly, her face showing an expression as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

It wasn't until Li Yinsheng couldn't help but laugh out loud that Mu Xiaoyu realized what was happening, and she angrily started hitting him.

"My senior brother bullied me! You bad senior brother!"

After punching Li Yinsheng twice, she seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly looked up at him with her small face.

"But senior brother, I really feel that I've become a little bit better looking recently. It must be due to the Earth Fire Tempering Technique."

Li Yinsheng was taken aback. After carefully examining that small face for a long time, he nodded slightly: "She does seem to be prettier than before."

Although the effects of the Nine Yang Spiritual Fire are no longer as significant after the Earth Fire Tempering Technique is mastered, it is still a very good aid.

In recent days, my junior sister has never stopped using the Nine Yang Spiritual Fire to temper her body, and her Earth Fire Tempering Technique has improved considerably.

The change reflected in her appearance was that her skin became even whiter and more delicate.

But the changes are limited to this extent.

After all, it is still a long way from the qualitative change brought about by its great success.

"It's not just that my face looks better, the most important change is this!"

Mu Xiaoyu stood tall and proud in front of Li Yinsheng.

"What?" Li Yinsheng asked, puzzled.

Mu Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest: "Look, Senior Brother, don't you think I'm one step closer to Sister Shangguan!"

Li Yinsheng's gaze swept over the small curve of her chest.

It seems like things have changed... right?

Based on the principle of not discouraging the child's enthusiasm, Li Yinsheng nodded in agreement.

Mu Xiaoyu's face flushed slightly, but she was still mainly excited: "The Earth Fire Tempering Technique is really useful! I must master it as soon as possible!"

"Good, good ambition!" Li Yinsheng encouraged.

According to Aunt Qin, the pain of tempering the body with earth fire is no less than that of refining the Nine Yang Spirit Fire.

With such enthusiasm, my junior sister will succeed at anything she does.

"That's all for now, Senior Brother, I'm going to cultivate now!"

After enjoying her senior brother's head pat for a while, Mu Xiaoyu stood up full of fighting spirit.

After refining the Golden Qi Pill, she has now begun refining the Wood Qi Pill. Although the days when everything tastes sour are a little better than when everything tastes spicy, they are still very painful.

No matter how sweet the honey used to be, now even a bite makes her teeth ache.

We must refine these Five Qi Pills as soon as possible to restore our sense of taste to normal!

Watching Mu Xiaoyu run off to the meditation room with high spirits, Li Yinsheng nodded with satisfaction.

My junior sister has grown up; she's so enthusiastic about cultivation now.

Unfortunately, what was found in the Sacrifice Spirit Mustard Seed Space was only a semi-finished Five Qi Pill, but not the pill formula for refining it.

Otherwise, if there is a continuous supply of Five Qi Pills, there will be no need to worry about junior sister not working hard enough in her cultivation.

He shook his head with some regret, sat on the edge of the bed, placed one hand on Jingxuan's wrist, and continuously channeled his magic power into her body.

……

Jingxuan felt as if she were soaking in a warm spring, feeling warm and comfortable all over.

The excruciating pain from the previous severe injuries was now melting away like ice in this warmth, flowing out of my body and disappearing completely.

The weakness from depleted magic power and the emptiness from depleted vital energy were filled by this omnipresent warm current, greatly alleviating the symptoms.

She didn't know how much time had passed when she felt her consciousness slowly rise from the warm spring until it broke through the water and a bright light appeared before her eyes.

After the light came on, the image became somewhat blurry.

Jingxuan opened her eyes somewhat blankly, looked at the ceiling above her head, and realized that she was in a room. Judging from the soft touch beneath her, she should be in a bed.

She turned her head and saw a blurry figure pulling her hand, channeling magic into her body.

I remember now, it must be the fellow Daoist who saved me back then because he wanted the Luo Tian San Shou technique.

Although the fellow Daoist had concealed his face, voice, and aura with magic, making it impossible for her to know what he looked like, she figured that he was the only one who could be healing her injuries now.

As she regained consciousness, the blurry figure in front of her became clear.

But when she saw that face clearly, she was slightly stunned.

The most beautiful living person she had ever seen in the world was the mistress of the Holy Origin Palace—the Heavenly Maiden.

If there were no restriction that it had to be a living being, then the most beautiful thing she had ever seen was the jade statue of the Holy Venerable in the Holy Yuan Palace.

Although a jade statue cannot completely reproduce the beauty of the Holy One, it is still undeniably stunning and surpasses many celestial maidens.

In her eyes, the person in front of her was even more beautiful than the statue of the Holy Venerable.

Although the statue of the Holy Venerable is of a woman and the person in front of her is a man, it is logical to say that there is no unified standard for a fair comparison between the two.

However, when the gap becomes large enough, the result is not difficult to predict.

The person who saved me...was him?

Jingxuan was startled, but her first reaction to the handsome man in front of her was surprise.

Isn't he a demonic cultivator? How can he be so handsome? And there's not a trace of demonic cultivation in his eyes and brows?

"Fellow Daoist Jingxuan is awake. How do you feel about your injuries?" Li Yinsheng asked.
