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

A Bao was dragged around by Liu Mengli for a "tour," and when he returned, he overheard Shen Yifei seeing him. He dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Seeing his cowardly appearance, Shen Yifei knew that Liu Mengli must have scared him quite a bit. He didn't point it out, but simply said, "You just said you're an outer Soul Envoy, and you seem to know a lot about the Soul Devouring Demon God?"

"I...I know a little, please feel free to ask, Master." Abao quickly nodded and bowed.

"Black Soul and White Fiend, the souls of these two natal soul envoys are entangled with Hyland's soul. If I want to deal with them, how can I avoid harming Hyland?"

After a moment's thought, Abao said, "Master, although the Black Soul and White Fiend are entangled with Hyland's soul, there are two ways to resolve this."

"Oh, which two methods? Tell me."

"The first method is to forcibly separate them. Find a few people with high enough cultivation to work together and forcibly pull the souls of Black Soul and White Fiend out of Hyland's body. But this method is very risky. If too much force is used, Hyland's soul will also be torn apart. At best, he will become an idiot, and at worst, he will die on the spot."

"Hmm, this method is very risky..." In fact, Shen Yifei didn't care whether Hyland was alive or dead. He just wanted to get the Black Soul out and put it in the furnace to refine it.

Because of Hai Xue'er, this method still cannot be chosen.

"The second method..."

"What's the second method? Don't keep me in suspense."

"Master, the second method is just a legend, and I'm not sure about it."

"Tell me what it is first!" Shen Yifei really wanted to kick A Bao; what a dawdling thing.

Ah Bao quickly said, "The second way is to find the Soul Cleansing Grass."

"Brother, I know about the Soul Purifying Grass," Xinghe, who had been silent until now, suddenly exclaimed. "I've seen it in medical books. It grows in extremely cold places and can purify impurities in the soul."

"Yes, yes, this young lady is right. It's just that this thing is only a legend. No one has ever seen what it looks like. I only heard the Soul Devouring Demon God mention it once by chance."

Shen Yifei really wanted to beat A Bao up. What little mistress? She was just his younger sister.

Since Xinghe knew about Soul-Cleansing Grass, she must also know how to use it. So she immediately asked, "Xinghe, what does Soul-Cleansing Grass look like? Where does it grow? Can't we just go and get one?"

"The Soul-Purifying Grass has leaves like ice crystals and stems like frost silk. The whole plant looks like a frozen little person. It can only be found in the deepest ice abysses in extremely cold places. Moreover, it has extremely harsh growing conditions, requiring ten thousand years of unmelted ice as its bed and a thousand years of lingering cold air as its drink. The Cold Ruins we are looking for happens to be one of the places where this grass grows."

"Young Madam knows so much." Abao seized the opportunity to flatter her, and even cupped his hands to Xinghe, looking extremely obsequious.

Xinghe rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to explain that she wasn't some kind of "little wife." However, being called "little wife" by someone for the first time felt a little different; it seemed like her brother wasn't too opposed to it.

She gently patted her little chest, thinking, "It's time to grow up!"

Hai Xue'er, standing to the side, frowned after hearing Xing He's description.

She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Young Master Shen, the Cold Ruins... is not just a simple ice abyss. The entrance to that place only appears on the night of a full moon. Moreover, the location of the entrance changes with the phases of the moon, and it appears in a different location each time. In the hundreds of years of our sea demon clan, only a handful of people have managed to come out of the Cold Ruins alive."

"Then how do you know all this?" Shen Yifei asked, somewhat curious.

"Because my father went in there when he was young." Hai Xue'er's voice lowered. "He stayed inside for three days and three nights, and when he came out, he was a completely different person. From then on, he began to worship the so-called 'Sea God,' which is the Soul-Eating Demon God. So I think he must have encountered something in the Cold Ruins."

"Alright, let's go to the Cold Ruins first. The stranger the place, the more we should go and see it."

The fact that something could make Hyland go there once and then turn around and worship the Soul-Eating Demon God piqued Shen Yifei's great interest.

Two days later, at dusk, Shen Yifei followed the map given to him by Mo Yu and headed north to a vast ice field.

The biting wind howled across the icy plains, stinging one's face. As far as the eye could see, everything was a vast expanse of white.

"Master, can we...can we find a place to warm up before we go?" Abao's voice trembled. "My soul is most afraid of such extremely cold places."

Upon hearing A Bao's words, Shen Yifei cursed, "Aren't you a spirit? How come you're afraid of the cold?"

"Master, the Northern Darkness is such an extremely cold place that it can directly freeze soul power. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it."

"Alright, alright, then go back to the cauldron and stay there. Don't get in the way." Shen Yifei waved his hand, summoning A Bao back to the Myriad Things Cauldron.

Shen Yifei continued flying north alone, braving the cold wind. According to the map Hai Xue'er had given him, the Cold Ruins were located at the deepest part of this icy plain.

After flying for about an hour, he saw a huge crack ahead. The crack was winding and twisting, stretching as far as the eye could see, like a hideous scar etched on the ice plain.

According to Hai Xue'er's description, the entrance to the Cold Ruins only appears on the night of a full moon. Shen Yifei looked at the sky; tonight was indeed a full moon.

He landed at the edge of the crack, found a sheltered spot, sat cross-legged, and waited for the moon to rise.

As darkness fell, a full moon slowly rose from the eastern horizon, its cool light spilling onto the ice plains and illuminating the cracks as bright as day.

Shen Yifei stared at the crack, hoping the entrance would appear.

However, he waited for a long time, but the entrance did not appear.

"Strange, Hai Xue'er clearly said that the entrance would be revealed on the night of the full moon, so why is there no sign of it?" Shen Yifei stood up, walked to the edge of the crack, and looked down. The crack was bottomless, and there was only darkness.

As he was pondering what was going on, the small vortex in his dantian suddenly stirred.

Shen Yifei sensed an extremely faint fluctuation coming from the depths of the crack. The fluctuation was so faint that he would not have been able to detect it if the small vortex had not had a special ability to sense it.

Shen Yifei stared into the depths of the crack. Although the fluctuation was faint, it carried an indescribable sense of familiarity.

"Why does it feel so familiar? This is really strange!" Shen Yifei muttered to himself.

Could there be something connected to me beneath this crack?

Shen Yifei didn't care about whether the moon was full or not; he just went with his gut feeling.

Since there's a familiar scent down there, let's go find it first!

Shen Yifei took a deep breath, leaped, and jumped directly into the crevice.

The wind whistled past his ears, and he used his spiritual power to slow his descent. It took him the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to fall before his feet touched solid ground.

Shen Yifei looked around and saw nothing but ice walls; there was no entrance at all.

"Damn it, this isn't an entrance at all," Shen Yifei cursed under his breath. He was getting a little impatient, feeling like prey that had been lured into a trap!

Suddenly a woman's voice rang in his ear!

"Who are you!!"
