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

Shen Yifei snorted, "Why would I lie to a mere Soul Envoy? But let me make this clear: if you dare to play any tricks, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"No, no!" the illusory figure repeatedly assured, "Don't worry, sir, even if I had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, I wouldn't dare to play any tricks in front of you!"

Shen Yifei nodded, then turned to Mo Ran and said, "You take care of your brother first, I'm going to the Sea Demon Clan's territory."

"Young Master, I'll go too." Mo Ran clung tightly to Shen Yifei's arm. "I'm familiar with the terrain of Beiming, maybe I can be of some help."

Shen Yifei thought about it and decided that it was fine for her to go along. Mo Ran's cultivation level wasn't high, so she wouldn't be in any danger staying in the cauldron. He nodded in agreement.

Mo Yu was unconscious for two days. After waking up, she felt much better, but she was still very weak.

Shen Yifei explained the whole story to him, and Mo Yu was dumbfounded. He never expected that he would be controlled by a so-called "soul envoy".

"Sect Leader Shen, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace." Mo Yu struggled to sit up in bed, intending to give Shen Yifei a salute.

"No, no, no, you should lie down properly." Shen Yifei quickly pressed him down. "We met in Donghai, so we're friends. Don't be so polite."

Mo Yu lay down and glanced at Mo Ran behind Shen Yifei. "Sect Master Shen, Mo Ran..."

"The ink stain is very good, take a look," Shen Yifei turned to the side so he could see it more clearly, "How is it, returned intact..."

"Oh..." A hint of disappointment appeared in Mo Yu's eyes. "Sect Master Shen, Mo Ran can be willful at times, please don't dislike her..."

"Brother Mo... um... Brother Mo Yu, Mo Ran is very sensible, I like her very much..."

Upon hearing Shen Yifei say he liked it, Mo Yu's eyes immediately lit up. "That's good, that's good..."

Shen Yifei found Mo Yu's words a bit strange, but he didn't think much of it. In his memory, Mo Yu was a person who was not good at speaking and was taciturn.

"Brother Moyu, the reason I came to Beiming this time is to find a piece of ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow..."

Shen Yifei told Mo Yu the purpose of his trip and did not hide his human-demon hybrid identity.

Surprisingly, Mo Yu didn't seem to mind Shen Yifei's identity. "Sect Master Shen, Cold Marrow is common in Beiming, but this Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow can only be found deep in the far north of Beiming. However, that place is the territory of the Sea Demon Clan, and we Beiming people have always had conflicts with the Sea Demon Clan, so we can't go there easily."

"You don't need to worry about that. I'm going to the Siren Clan's territory to take care of some business, and I'll just pick one up on the way."

Mo Yu nodded. "Sect Master Shen, I have a map of the Sea Demon Clan's territory here, with the location of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow marked on it."

Mo Yu asked Mo Ran to fetch the map and hand it to Shen Yifei.

Shen Yifei took the map, unfolded it, and saw that it marked the route north of Beiming City, as well as several important locations in the Sea Demon Clan's territory.

At the northernmost point, a circle was drawn, with two small characters written next to it: "Hanxu".

"This place is hard to find; the entrance is very hidden." Mo Yu leaned against the headboard, pointing to a marked point on the map. "There's an ice crevice here, which is said to only appear on the night of a full moon. The sea monsters consider it a forbidden area, and it's heavily guarded."

"The night of the full moon?" Shen Yifei calculated the days. "Isn't that in three days?"

"Yes, the full moon will be in three days." Mo Yu coughed twice, his face paling even more. "Sect Master Shen, the Sea Demon Clan is not to be trifled with. You must be very careful."

Shen Yifei thought to himself, "That's because you think they're not easy to mess with. When the Sea Demon Clan went to support Ao Chong's rebellion, they were basically wiped out by a single charge of eight thousand Dragon Riders. That's nothing special."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Shen Yifei put away the map, patted Mo Yu on the shoulder, and said, "Take good care of your injuries and wait for me to come back!"

Mo Yu glanced at Mo Ran standing behind Shen Yifei, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she ultimately held back.

Mo Ran walked to the bedside. "Brother, don't worry about me. Young Master Shen is very powerful. Even the Demon Clan's War God is his wife. What are those few people from the Sea Demon Clan compared to him?"

Upon hearing the words "Demon War God," Mo Yu's eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Yifei with a newfound awe. "Sect Master Shen, you...you even know the Demon War God..."

"Hehe," Shen Yifei scratched his head, looking modest, "It's just that she took a liking to me, there's nothing I can do about it."

Shen Yifei gave a few more instructions, then led Mo Ran and the illusory figure out of Mo Yu's residence.

After leaving Beiming City, Shen Yifei summoned the illusory figure to his side.

"Lead the way to the Siren Clan's territory and find the Underworld Abyss."

"Alright!" The phantom immediately perked up and floated ahead to lead the way. "Young master, follow me this way. Go around that iceberg ahead, then cross an ice field, and you'll see the territory of the sea monsters."

Shen Yifei followed it, flying all the way north.

Along the way, Shen Yifei learned about the origin of the illusory figure.

It turns out that the phantom was a remnant soul of the Soul Devouring Demon God, created using the cultivators' obsessions and resentments.

"The Soul Devouring Demon God can create things?" Shen Yifei asked, somewhat surprised. "How many Soul Envoys like you are there?"

"As far as I know, there are probably several hundred. The Soul Devouring Demon God is still creating soul bodies, which makes his recovery speed much faster..."

The phantom had no name, so Shen Yifei named him A Bao. The phantom thought the name wasn't very good, but dared not say anything, and kept thanking Shen Yifei, acknowledging Shen Yifei as its master.

He felt that Shen Yifei's Five Elements Demon God would definitely use a sachet to reshape his body, and maybe even turn him into a human, which was his dream for thousands of years.

Mo Ran had returned to the Cauldron of All Things and was chatting with Liu Mengli, Hongxiu, and Xinghe, while Xue Yuan listened quietly to her, like a well-behaved girl.

Liu Mengli munched on a spirit fruit. "This godforsaken place, Beiming, is so cold. I'd rather die than go out. My delicate skin is about to crack from the cold."

Xinghe burst into laughter, "Sister Mengli, if your skin cracks from the cold, it'll deflate, and then it'll be a real hassle to inflate it again!"

Hongxiu laughed from the side, "After the young master finds the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow this time, you should also ask him to help you find a way to restore your physical body."

"Come on, does he even care about me anymore? His wives are enough to keep him busy. Look, he rarely comes here anymore, he doesn't have time to bother with my nonsense."

Mo Ran's mind was elsewhere; she kept glancing at the water curtain on the lake.

While chatting, Xinghe kept an eye on Xueyuan. She felt something was off about the girl, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

There's no fear of her causing trouble inside the cauldron, after all, there's also the formidable Ye Ling there; if anything happens, she can appear here instantly.

Xinghe was worried that Xueyuan might cause trouble for her brother in the future.

So she kept looking for Xue Yuan's flaws, wanting to see what secrets this girl was hiding.

Shen Yifei followed A Bao for a day and a night, and finally saw the boundary of the sea monster clan's territory.
