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

Shen Yifei felt that his spiritual power had recovered more than half in the short time it takes to drink a cup of tea, and he secretly marveled that this dual cultivation technique of spirit and soul was indeed a good thing.

"Princess Xue'er, how are you feeling?"

Hai Xue'er opened her eyes, a hint of shyness flashing in her icy blue eyes, but more so with surprise. "I... I feel like my soul has become much more solid, and even my cultivation bottleneck has loosened a bit."

"That's normal. Dual cultivation of the soul and spirit is inherently mutually beneficial." Shen Yifei released her hand, stood up, and said, "Try again next time. Maybe it can help you break through to the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm."

Hearing him say that, Hai Xue'er blushed even more and lowered her head to softly hum "Mmm".

Liu Mengli, munching on a spirit fruit, remarked sarcastically, "Oh my, is Master opening another training course? Teaching dual cultivation of spirit and soul, guaranteed to teach you until you learn, and free retakes if you don't?"

"You talk too much." Shen Yifei rolled his eyes at her. "I'm doing this for everyone's good, aren't I? Your cultivation levels are all improving, isn't that a good thing?"

"Yes, yes, Master is right." Liu Mengli rolled her eyes. "So when is the next class? What's my number in the schedule?"

"Stop arranging my ass." Shen Yifei ignored her.

He and Xinghe worked together to feed the Soul Cleansing Grass, taking exactly one-third of the amount each time.

After feeding him, Shen Yifei turned to Mo Ran and asked, "Mo Ran, are you ready?"

Mo Ran nodded slightly and sat down in front of Shen Yifei. Although she was usually not very talkative, she was much calmer than Hai Xue'er at this moment.

The two souls merged smoothly. Mo Ran's soul was already strong, and coupled with her absolute trust in Shen Yifei, she cooperated with him almost without any resistance.

This time, through dual cultivation of spirit and soul, Shen Yifei not only completely replenished the spiritual power absorbed by the Soul Purifying Grass, but also made slight progress.

Next up is Hongxiu.

Hongxiu's soul had been very weak because her demonic root had been extracted. However, her soul was extremely resilient. The moment it came into contact with Shen Yifei's soul, it was like a long-dried-up river desperately drawing on Shen Yifei's soul power.

Shen Yifei's heart tightened, and he quickly calmed himself down, carefully controlling the amount of his spiritual output, afraid that giving too much at once would hurt her.

Fortunately, although Hongxiu was weak, she still had a strong foundation. Their souls merged for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"Young Master, I feel... I feel much better." Hongxiu opened her eyes, her eyes slightly red. "My soul is much more solid than before."

"That's good." Shen Yifei released her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. "Sister Hongxiu, don't worry, once I've dealt with that old bastard Soul Devourer, I'll help you repair your demonic root."

Hongxiu nodded without saying anything more. But her eyes became slightly moist.

Liu Mengli, who had been watching with envy, finally couldn't resist coming closer. "Master, isn't it my turn?"

"Are you sure you want to try?" Shen Yifei looked at her. "You're still a spirit, and the risks of dual cultivation of spirit and soul are much greater than for someone with a physical body."

"What are you afraid of? With you here, what accident could possibly happen to me?" Liu Mengli plopped down in front of him, then wrapped her arms around Shen Yifei's neck. "Come on, let me see what it means to cultivate both the soul and spirit."

Shen Yifei was amused by her shameless behavior and didn't say anything more.

The moment their souls made contact, Shen Yifei sensed something different.

Liu Mengli's soul was far more powerful than he had imagined. Although she was only a spirit, the solidity of her soul was even stronger than that of Hai Xue'er, a sea monster princess in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

"How about that, Master? Aren't I amazing?" Liu Mengli exclaimed triumphantly.

"Impressive, impressive, you're the best." Shen Yifei replied irritably, and began to guide the two of them to merge their souls.

Liu Mengli's soul was like a slippery eel, swimming around his soul and playfully bumping into him every now and then.

Shen Yifei was both amused and exasperated by her antics, but he had to admit that this playful spiritual contact actually made him feel more relaxed.

The two souls merged for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea when Liu Mengli's soul suddenly became entangled with his, holding on tightly and refusing to let go.

"Master, I think... I think... I'm growing!" Liu Mengli's voice was filled with excitement and trembling.

Shen Yifei was startled and quickly steadied himself, transferring more of his divine soul power into her soul.

Liu Mengli's body began to glow faintly, the light soft and warm, like a thin layer of fireflies enveloping her soul.

Her silhouette gradually became clearer in that layer of light.

Although it was only for a moment, Shen Yifei clearly saw the faint golden mark between her eyebrows.

Liu Mengli herself also sensed something was wrong.

She looked down at her hands, which, which had been ethereal and transparent, now seemed to have a real texture.

"I...I'm..." Her voice trembled slightly, "Master, I can feel my body again! I can feel my body again!"

"This means your soul has become strong enough. As long as you find a suitable way to solidify it, you will be able to completely restore your physical body." Shen Yifei was happy for her as he looked at her excited appearance.

Liu Mengli was stunned for a long time, then burst into tears and threw herself into Shen Yifei's arms. "Master, you're amazing! This delicate and beautiful girl is finally going to have a physical body!"

Shen Yifei nearly lost his balance when she lunged at him. "Take it easy, don't get too excited..."

"How could I not be excited? I've regained my physical body, I'm a real woman now! Then I can..."

She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized that Mo Ran and Hai Xue'er were watching her, so she quickly shut her mouth, a rare blush rising on her face.

Seeing her like this, Shen Yifei found it amusing but didn't press her for details.

Mo Ran chuckled to herself, Hai Xue'er looked on with envy, and Hong Xiu wore a gratified smile.

Only Xinghe tilted her head, looking thoughtfully at the faint golden mark between Liu Mengli's eyebrows.

"Alright, alright, stop getting all sentimental here." Shen Yifei patted Liu Mengli's shoulder. "If you really want to regain your physical body, I'll find a way to help you after I deal with that old bastard, Soul Devourer."

Liu Mengli nodded vigorously, wiping away her tears. "Master, you must keep your word!"

"When have I ever gone back on my word?" Shen Yifei rolled his eyes at her, then turned and walked to the Soul-Cleansing Grass.

At this moment, the little head of the Soul-Cleansing Grass had lifted up slightly, and its leaves were more relaxed than before, no longer looking as wilted as when it was first pulled out.

Shen Yifei walked over and squatted down. The little guy actually opened his mouth, took his fingertip in his mouth, and gently sucked on it twice.

"Huh? It's not absorbing my soul anymore?" Shen Yifei was somewhat surprised.
