Junior sister, I really need to control you.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Xuanzhen Temple, behind the main hall, Meng Yu and two others were surrounding a magic array the size of a pavilion, continuously casting spells to outline the array patterns.

Li Yinsheng stood not far away, his gaze fixed on the three people who had set up the formation.

Thanks to Meng Yu's efforts and the hard work of his junior brothers and sisters, the "Transparent Spirit Refining Array," which was originally supposed to be built in seven days, was completed in just five days.

The three array masters are now completing the final step: setting up the core of the Transparent Spirit Refining Array, the most important element of the array, which can refine ordinary spiritual energy into "Transparent Spirit Energy."

Once this step is completed, the Transparent Spirit Refining Array will be completely finished.

The spirit-gathering array set up at the Spirit Eye in the distance will continuously send spiritual energy to the spirit-refining array here. The clear spiritual energy refined from this energy can then be distributed according to the array master's will.

Although Fellow Daoist Meng is a bit aloof, his loyalty and dedication are truly impeccable.

Li Yinsheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Although his gaze was fixed on the three people, his divine sense was always focused on Mu Xiaoyu, who was practicing her skills in front of the hall.

Although the second level of the Qingxuan True Scripture allows for the cultivation of magical power, the part about cultivating vital energy still cannot be neglected.

When she broke through to the second level last night, she only refined a small portion of the primordial energy in the crane egg. She still needs to continue cultivating to refine the remaining primordial energy.

A moment later, as Meng Yu and the other two finished their work, the bright, shimmering array patterns on the formation also disappeared, leaving only the millstone-sized core of the formation suspended in the air, slowly rotating.

Meng Yu walked towards Li Yinsheng, took out an array plate and handed it to him: "Fellow Daoist Li, this is the core of the array. Try refining it."

Li Yinsheng took the array plate, channeled his magical power, and completed the refining process in an instant.

Through the array plate in his palm, he could feel that the Spirit Gathering Array in the distance was already sending spiritual energy, and the Transparent Spirit Refining Array was also releasing special spiritual energy at a very slow but steady pace.

Although Meng Yu knew that Li Yinsheng was a highly skilled cultivator, she was still surprised to see how easily he had completed the refining of the array plate.

After calming down, she said, "Fellow Daoist Li should have sensed it; the Transparent Spirit Refining Array is already producing Transparent Spiritual Essence."

"Besides helping cultivators practicing the righteous and peaceful cultivation method, the 'clear spiritual energy' can also clear the mind and is slightly helpful for practicing spells, but not as much as it can help with cultivation techniques."

Li Yinsheng nodded and tried to imbue Mu Xiaoyu, who was practicing her martial arts in front of the hall, with his luminous spiritual energy.

He didn't know how Mu Xiaoyu felt, but in his perception, Mu Xiaoyu's movements immediately became more fluid and graceful.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed noticeable that she was refining the internal energy of her body at a faster pace.

Li Yinsheng nodded in satisfaction.

He then imbued himself with a wisp of luminous spiritual energy, and then shook his head slightly.

He was already a true cultivator, having opened his sea of ​​consciousness, which was illuminated by the pure and mysterious divine light. Naturally, his mind was clear and bright. However, the effect of this clear and bright spiritual energy on his mind was of no help to him.

When he circulated the Pure Profound True Scripture, he could feel that his cultivation speed had indeed increased a bit. It seemed that this clear spiritual essence still had some effect, even on True Person cultivators.

Unfortunately, his cultivation mainly came from practicing in the cave heaven, so he didn't need these things.

"Why is Fellow Daoist Li shaking his head? Is there something you're not satisfied with?" Meng Yu asked immediately. "We can make changes."

As array masters, fine-tuning arrays according to the client's requirements is a normal part of their work.

"No, I think it's very good," Li Yinsheng put down the array plate. "No need to change it. I'm very satisfied with Fellow Daoist Meng's array."

He then took out some talisman coins from his Qiankun bag and handed them to Meng Yu: "Fellow Daoist Meng, this is the agreed-upon fee for the formation, a total of 90,000 talisman coins."

Meng Yu probed with her divine sense, counted the money briefly, and accepted the talisman money. She didn't ask Li Yinsheng, who had previously wanted to pay on credit, why he suddenly wanted to settle the full amount.

It's obvious that Huanghe Temple paid for it.

Then Meng Yu took Li Yinsheng to the Tongming Refining Spirit Array and carefully explained the things that needed to be paid attention to when the array was in operation.

For example, although formations can store clear spiritual energy, they cannot store it for too long, otherwise the clear spiritual energy will dissipate and become ordinary spiritual energy. Therefore, one should not be reluctant to use them.

The formation also pauses for half a cup of tea every day at midnight, which is normal, as it needs to clean up impurities generated during the spirit refining process...

Li Yinsheng listened very attentively.

To be honest, he felt that Fellow Daoist Meng was being overly responsible.

She explained things in such detail that she almost wanted to explain the principles behind the formation's operation to him in some places.

Moreover, she would stare intently at Li Yinsheng's face every time she spoke, as if trying to judge whether he truly understood by observing his expression.

This explanation lasted for nearly two hours. Her junior brothers and sisters simply set up a small table on the spot and began to chat, drink tea, and even look at the array diagrams.

Li Yinsheng had some doubts. Was it too hasty of him to hastily conclude that this Fellow Daoist Meng was cold on the outside but warm on the inside?

Perhaps her personality is actually that she is cold and taciturn with people she doesn't know well, but becomes talkative with people she knows a little better?

……

In front of the main hall of Xuanzhen Temple.

After watching Meng Yu lead his junior brothers and sisters away with the chessboard, Li Yinsheng turned to look at Mu Xiaoyu, who was resting on the ground.

She was sitting on a small stool, eating heartily.

After gaining magical powers, she could use her storage bag freely. Before, she had to trouble Li Yinsheng to get her snacks, but now she could take whatever she wanted and eat however she wanted!

Mu Xiaoyu held a candied hawthorn in her left hand and a sweet dew cake in her right, with a ring of melon seed shells scattered around her on the ground.

Li Yinsheng had thought that after eating crane eggs, such an extraordinary delicacy, she would lose interest in ordinary food.

The result was quite the opposite. It seemed that because she couldn't eat delicacies like crane eggs for a while, Mu Xiaoyu tried to make up for the lack of quality with quantity. Since she had just started her rest, her mouth hadn't stopped.

"Junior Sister," Li Yinsheng said, "after the Marrow Cleansing and Bone Strengthening the night before last, didn't I teach you the Art of Object Manipulation? It's been two days now, how's your practice going?"

Using the Qiankun Bag doesn't count as magic. "Object Manipulation" is the first magic Mu Xiaoyu learned, and it's also the first magic most cultivators learn.

This technique has no upper limit; it is only for the convenience of daily chores, so it is very easy to learn and does not require much magical power.

There are often some rogue cultivators with little skill outside who use their magical manipulation techniques to deceive mortals and swindle them out of their wealth and enjoyment.

"Hmm, senior brother, I've already learned it..." Mu Xiaoyu stuffed the remaining sweet dew cakes into her mouth and made a hand seal with one hand.

The scattered sunflower seed shells on the ground all rose up shakily, gathered into a small pile under Mu Xiaoyu's control, and then fell back to the ground.

"Hmm, not bad," Li Yinsheng nodded. "It seems you've basically mastered it. Once your magic power grows stronger, you'll be able to control commonly used objects."

Mu Xiaoyu stood up from the small stool, her eyes filled with excitement: "Then can I learn other spells? Senior brother, I want to learn your spell that heats the bathwater for me every night!"

With that spell, she can heat up some snacks that are best eaten hot anytime!

"Ha, dream on!" Li Yinsheng smacked her on the head with his backhand, making a soft sound like striking a wooden fish.

"The rule against stealing food from the vegetarian kitchen stems from the fact that people used to accidentally set the kitchen on fire!"

Mu Xiaoyu covered her head and squatted down.

Li Yinsheng moved his fingers and nodded slightly.

My junior sister's little head feels surprisingly good to tap.
