The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

After Zhao Xuan left, Xie Liaochen asked his disciple to call Shen Yifei over.

After a while, Shen Yifei pushed open the door and came in, carrying a food box in his hand.

"Sect Master, you wanted to see me?"

Xie Liaochen leaned against the headboard and stared at him for a few moments.

"My dear son-in-law, you had another dream last night."

Shen Yifei looked surprised.

"That's impossible! I set up a soul-locking array for you. Did you move the spirit stones?"

Xie Liaochen didn't say anything.

Shen Yifei walked to the bedside and looked down.

"Sect Master, you did move the spirit stones. The spiritual energy lines on the ground are all broken."

Xie Liaochen glanced at the spirit stones on the ground. They had indeed been moved; he had personally moved them aside last night.

"I moved it."

"No wonder you had that dream." Shen Yifei put the food box on the table, squatted down and rearranged the spirit stones. "This formation can't be touched, or it will break. Don't touch it tonight, and you're guaranteed not to have that dream."

Xie Liaochen watched him arrange the spirit stones and sneered inwardly.

Keep pretending.

"My dear son-in-law, the entire sect has been plagued by this problem lately, how come you're alright?"

"This disciple possesses a unique cultivation technique specifically designed to suppress evil spirits entering dreams," Shen Yifei said without looking up. "This disciple hails from the Hehuan Sect, specializing in dual cultivation. That place has all sorts of strange and unusual techniques. This disciple truly hopes to be like the Sect Master every night; that would benefit both of our cultivation levels."

"What kind of martial art do you practice?"

"This... is not convenient to say. It's a sect secret, and I'll be punished if I do."

Xie Liaochen snorted.

Shen Yifei arranged the spirit stones, stood up, and clapped his hands.

"Alright. Sect Master, just lie still tonight and don't touch these stones. I guarantee you'll sleep soundly until dawn."

"Okay, I'll try it tonight."

As night fell, Zhao Xuan concealed his presence and crouched in the bushes below Tingzhu Peak, his eyes fixed on Shen Yifei's courtyard.

The light came on in Shen Yifei's room, and a figure could be seen pacing back and forth in the lamplight. After a while, the light went out, and the courtyard became quiet.

Zhao Xuan squatted there all night.

Shen Yifei did not come out, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation in the courtyard.

As dawn broke, the gate to Tingzhu Peak's courtyard opened.

Shen Yifei came out, stretched, practiced his boxing twice in the courtyard, and then went to the medicine room.

Zhao Xuan followed him the whole way.

Shen Yifei went to the pill room to refine pills, chatted and laughed with Elder Xu, and distributed medicine to his disciples. Everything seemed normal.

I went back to Tingzhufeng for lunch, then went to the medicine room in the afternoon, and returned in the evening after dark.

This continued for several days in a row, every single day.

When Zhao Xuan reported this matter to Xie Liaochen, Xie Liaochen was drinking ginseng soup.

These past few days, he hasn't touched that spirit stone array, and strangely enough, he's actually stopped having erotic dreams.

Shen Yifei would bring ginseng soup every morning, and with the addition of the Suoyang pill, his health improved day by day.

After listening to Zhao Xuan's report, Xie Liaochen pressed further, "What does he do in the pill room during the day?"

"Refining pills, chatting with Elder Xu, and distributing medicine to disciples."

"Have you had any contact with female disciples?"

Zhao Xuan thought for a moment, "Yes, but it was all official business. I would leave after dispensing the medicine, and there was no intimate contact."

Xie Liaochen frowned.

He knew all about what Shen Yifei had done at the Qingyun Sect. He'd flirt with this senior sister one day and tease that junior sister the next, causing chaos everywhere. Now, he's all dressed up as a gentleman.

The more normal something is, the more abnormal it is.

Xie Liaochen leaned against the headboard. "You said he never leaves the house at night. Have you checked if anyone else is in his room?"

"I checked. I scanned him several times with my divine sense, and he was the only one there."

Xie Liaochen nodded. In fact, he had also checked, and Shen Yifei was indeed living alone each time.

But he just felt something was wrong. This kid was definitely up to something, but he couldn't figure out what methods he was using or how he was doing it.

"Alright, you can go now. Keep an eye on things."

Zhao Xuan is gone.

Xie Liaochen lay in bed, his mind racing all day, but he couldn't come up with a solution.

That night he had another dream. In his dream, he was standing in a huge bathhouse, surrounded by naked women who were waving at him.

When Xie Chen woke up the next day, he couldn't get up again.

In the morning, Shen Yifei brought ginseng soup in a food box. Upon seeing Xie Liaochen, he feigned surprise.

"Sect Master, are you dreaming again?"

Xie Liaochen leaned against the headboard, staring at him.

"Didn't you say that setting up an array would prevent you from dreaming?"

Shen Yifei looked at the spirit stone array, which had not been disturbed. He had already discovered that someone was following and watching him these past few days, so he asked Liu Mengli to add some harsh ingredients last night.

He looked left and right, then pretended to scrutinize Xie Liaochen's face, before letting out a long sigh.

"Sect Master, we cultivators emphasize a pure and desireless mind, especially in your current state. Too many thoughts during the day can easily lead to unforeseen events at night. Sect Master, there's something I'm hesitant to say."

"My dear son-in-law, we are family. Just say what you need to say."

"Sect Leader, given your current illness, you must do good and never harbor any intention to harm others!"

In short, Xie Liaochen understood perfectly, "No wonder Zhao Xuan couldn't detect the problem; it turns out this kid had already discovered him and was on guard at every turn!"

After Shen Yifei left, Xie Liaochen closed his eyes, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

He was the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, yet he was completely outmaneuvered by a junior in the Nascent Soul stage.

After much deliberation, he instructed his disciple to summon Zhao Xuan. Zhao Xuan had been thoroughly tormented by Liu Mengli these past few nights, a deliberate arrangement by Shen Yifei.

When he saw Xie Liaochen's appearance, he felt a sense of sympathy for him. At the same time, he began to suspect that Shen Yifei was behind it all!

"Go...go to the Golden Crow Sect and invite my senior brother here."

Zhao Xuan was taken aback. "Elder Chen Yunhe of the Golden Crow Sect?"

"Yes. Tell him I'm dying and he needs to come quickly."

"Shall we go now?"

"Now, immediately, right now!! Take my token and use the teleportation array."

Zhao Xuan took the token, turned around, and ran away.

Xie Chen leaned against the headboard and took a breath.

Chen Yunhe, the Grand Elder of the Golden Crow Sect, was at the half-step Mahayana realm. He was two minor realms higher than him, and his true abilities were incomparable.

The Golden Crow Sect's cultivation techniques are domineering and invincible among those of the same cultivation level. In the cultivation world, no one dares to provoke them.

Not only are their techniques domineering, but their various forbidden techniques are also utterly unbelievable.

If even the Golden Crow Sect can't solve my problem in this state, then the only option is to ask a deity to descend to earth.

Zhao Xuan took the token and left the palace. He went to the accounting office and used the token to apply for fifty mid-grade spirit stones. He then rushed to the teleportation array.

There is a teleportation array on the west side of the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate. It can be activated with fifty mid-grade spirit stones and can be used to teleport to the territory of the Golden Crow Sect, which is three thousand miles away.

This was built when the two families were on good terms. Later, the Tianyan Sect had an incident, and the relationship between the various factions became delicate, so the teleportation array was used less often, but it is still intact.

Zhao Xuan stuffed fifty mid-grade spirit stones into the array's core. With a flash of white light, he was immediately teleported to the Golden Crow Sect, three thousand miles away!

Chen Yunhe was Xie Liaochen's senior brother. The two came from the same sect. Later, he came to Qingyun Sect and became a son-in-law. Even his daughter did not take his surname.

Chen Yunhe went to the Golden Crow Sect to become an elder, and the two still frequently exchanged information. Their friendship as fellow disciples, which had lasted for hundreds of years, had never been broken.

Around noon, Zhao Xuan returned. Following him was an elderly man with gray hair and a stern face, dressed in a black robe.

Needless to say, this person is none other than Chen Yunhe, the current Grand Elder of the Golden Crow Sect, who is at the half-step Mahayana realm!

He saw Xie Liaochen and froze.

"Junior brother, what happened to you, you look like this?"
