I work as a security guard at a cemetery, and I overhear the dead chatting about getting rich quick.

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, Lin Ye did not respond.

He was still reading the internal bulletin that had just been sent by the Seventh Division.

The concentration of spiritual energy across the country has stopped declining.

It rose slowly by 3.7 percent within six hours.

The number is not large.

The problem is that the direction has changed.

After each of the previous spiritual tides, the concentration would drop.

This time, no.

Like the tide that crashes onto the shore and then lingers, refusing to leave.

Lin Ye put the terminal away.

Have you seen this situation before?

The woman in crimson robes leaned against the mirror.

"I've seen it."

"And then?"

"Many people died."

Lu Zhixia looked up.

"Could you please stop talking so intimidatingly?"

"I'm telling the truth."

"Be specific."

Jiang Yi thought for a moment.

"Spiritual energy won't come in waves forever."

"When the world truly reopens, prices will rise."

"A little more today."

"A little more tomorrow."

"At first, people can't feel it. By the time they can feel it, the creatures in the mountains have already mostly woken up."

Lin Ye frowned.

This is similar to the current assessment in the seven locations.

The second spiritual tide may not be an isolated event.

Rather, it's a certain inflection point.

Lu Zhixia, however, stared at Lin Ye.

"You're going to be busy again?"

"should."

"how long?"

"have no idea."

"Then please sit down."

"Um?"

Lu Zhixia pointed to the chair.

"You just came back from the funeral home last night, and then you spent the whole night here causing trouble."

"At least eat breakfast before you leave."

Jiang Yi clicked her tongue in the mirror.

Lu Zhixia looked at her.

"Do you have a problem with that?"

"no."

The woman in crimson robes smiled broadly.

"I just suddenly feel that you've made a pretty good choice as a Daoist partner."

Lin Ye ignored her.

After finishing breakfast, he didn't go back to the Seventh Division immediately.

Instead, he closed the study door again.

Lu Zhixia could tell he had something to say.

"About the mirror?"

"Um."

"Do we need to hand it in?"

Lin Ye glanced at the Albizia Mirror on the table.

Jiang Yi also fell silent.

She felt very relaxed last night.

It was a rare moment of peace and quiet.

According to the rules of the seven places.

The discovery of unknown spiritual artifacts, especially artifact spirits with their own consciousness, should, in principle, be reported.

Something of the level of the Hehuan Heart-Reflecting Mirror would most likely be contained immediately if reported.

Lu Zhixia understood as well.

What do you think?

Lin Ye did not answer immediately.

"Don't report it yet."

Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow.

Lu Zhixia, however, did not appear particularly happy.

"Because of me?"

"half."

"What about your other half?"

Lin Ye looked in the mirror.

"I haven't figured out whether she has a problem or not."

She smiled lightly in her crimson robes.

"That's really hurtful."

"You are the spirit of the artifact."

"What happened to the artifact spirit?"

"I've seen people try to possess others."

The woman in crimson paused for a moment.

"That's definitely something we should be wary of."

She actually admitted it.

Lin Ye continued:

"I'll stay here with you for now."

"But there are conditions."

Lu Zhixia nodded.

"you say."

"Don't try things she hasn't taught you on your own."

"Can."

"Tell me first if she asks you to do anything involving the soul, blood, or consciousness."

"OK."

"Mirrors cannot be taken out."

"I never intended to."

"besides……"

Lu Zhixia looked at him.

"besides?"

Lin Ye thought for a moment.

"If something really goes wrong, I'll hand the mirror over to the Seventh Division."

Lu Zhixia did not hesitate.

"it is good."

The woman in crimson robes in the mirror was displeased.

"You two were plotting loudly right in front of me?"

Lin Ye looked at her.

"Let me involve you."

"Thank you."

"polite."

Jiang Yi rolled her eyes.

Lu Zhixia couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Ye then got up.

"I need to find someone to ask you about this technique."

"Who?"

The woman in crimson robes became alert.

"Another artifact spirit."

Her eyes lit up immediately.

"Male or female?"

"It's a man, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"I've lived too long, gender isn't that important."

"fart!"

The communicator in Lin Ye's pocket rang again.

Wanling's voice could still be heard through the silencing system.

Lu Zhixia was laughing so hard she was practically lying on the table.

That noon.

Seven underground containment areas.

As usual, Lin Ye applied for a private consultation on the Wanling Jingjian's exercises.

There have been many such conversations lately.

Wanling dislikes researchers surrounding it, and the Seventh Division is too lazy to listen to it cursing every time, so it only monitors spiritual energy fluctuations and does not record audio regularly.

Lin Ye closed the door.

I put my personal cell phone on the table.

The video is not on.

I only received a voice message.

Lu Zhixia's side is already prepared.

Wanling spoke first.

What are we practicing today?

"Get to know the person first."

"Who?"

A lazy voice came from the phone, emanating from the woman in crimson.

"From the Beast Taming Sect?"

The Scripture of All Souls fell silent instantly.

A full three seconds passed.

"That voice..."

The woman in crimson smiled.

"What, you recognized it?"

"The Hehuan Sect?"

"Not deaf yet."

Wanling's voice suddenly turned strange.

"There are still some of you alive?"

"You're not completely dead either, are you?"

"Where are you?"

"Mind your own business."

"Who are you?"

"Crimson Robe"

All spirits fell silent for a moment.

"The one with the mirror reflecting one's heart?"

Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

I really know him.

Jiang Yi snorted.

"You do have some knowledge, I suppose."

"Of course I have experience."

Wanling immediately took over.

"The Hehuan Sect owed our Beast Taming Sect thirty-seven Purple Heart Grasses, and they haven't repaid them for over eight hundred years."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"It's something your sect owes."

"Then go find the sect leader."

"She's dead!"

"Then consider it a dead debt."

"fart!"

Lin Ye's head was throbbing from listening.

"stop."

Openings on both sides simultaneously.

"Shut up."

Lin Ye: "..."

Lu Zhixia was laughing uncontrollably.

"You ancient cultivators also collect debts?"

Wanling is perfectly justified.

"Aren't medicinal herbs money?"

The woman in crimson sneered.

"Back then, your Beast Taming Sect trampled our three acres of flower fields to pieces."

"That was trampled by a spirit beast."

"Didn't you raise the spirit beasts?"

"..."

Lin Ye knocked on the table.

"Why don't you two start calculating up to today?"

Both sides finally stopped.

Lin Ye briefly recounted what had happened last night.

An ancient mirror.

She awoke in crimson robes.

The "Illuminating the Heart and Guiding the Qi" chapter.

Lu Zhixia has successfully introduced the first wisp of spiritual energy.

He didn't say exactly where the mirror was.

Wanling listened, and his first sentence was quite serious.

"Say the formula again."

The crimson robe was not pleasant.

"On what grounds?"

"Let's see if you've made any changes."

"Why would I modify my own introductory guide?"

"Who knows if your brain has gone bad after sleeping for thousands of years?"

"You're the bad one."

In the end, Lu Zhixia recited the mnemonic she had memorized.

Wanling listened.

"no problem."

Lin Ye asked, "Are you sure?"

"The most basic method of sensing Qi."

"What problem could there be if we don't even touch the main road?"

The woman in crimson sneered.

"At least you have some discernment."

"It's just slow."

Wanling added a sentence.

The woman in crimson immediately exploded.

"You don't know anything."

"It took half an hour to get the first breath, isn't that slow?"

"She's never practiced cultivation!"

"His qualifications are average."

"Say it again?"

"His qualifications are average."

The two old folks are going to argue again.

Lu Zhixia interrupted.

"What exactly are my qualifications?"

Crimson Robe: "Very good."

Wanling: "Above average."

Lu Zhixia remained silent for two seconds.

I believe in the middle value.

Lin Ye chuckled.

Jiang Yi was so angry that she didn't want to speak.

Wanling was quite happy.

"This girl is smarter than you."

"Thanks."

I wasn't praising you.

"I can tell."

At this point in the conversation, Lin Ye finally asked what he really wanted to ask.

"Are there any potential risks associated with her practicing this?"

Wanling paused for a moment.

"The Hehuan Sect's cultivation techniques are not inherently evil."

"At least not the orthodox kind."

The woman in crimson robes hummed softly.

"continue."

"However, their method excels at regulating Yin and Yang."

"You can train alone."

"Two people are faster."

Lin Ye frowned.

"What do you mean?"

The woman in crimson robes took over the conversation.

"What I mean is, your novel isn't entirely made up."

Lu Zhixia looked at her phone.

"True dual cultivation?"

"have."

The woman in crimson robes answered very naturally.

"But not the things in your head."

"At least not at the beginner level."

Lu Zhixia's ears turned slightly red.

"I wasn't thinking about anything."

The woman in crimson smiled meaningfully.

"I didn't say you wanted to."

"..."

Lin Ye skipped over this.

"Let's get down to business."

"Regulating Yin and Yang Qi".

The woman in crimson robes said, "When two people breathe in sync and their breaths connect, their spiritual energy circulates between each other's pathways."

"It can help beginners calm their nerves."

"It can also help to straighten out the meridians for those whose meridians have already been opened."

Wanling suddenly exclaimed, "Eh?"

"etc."

It asked Lin Ye:

"Your seven fundamental pathways are not closed yet, are they?"

"no."

"What happens after the spiritual essence enters?"

"It's just been expanded."

Lin Ye said, "We still have to guide them ourselves."

Wanling fell silent.

The woman in crimson robes seemed to have heard something interesting.

"All seven have been opened?"

"Um."

"Didn't complete the full cycle?"

"Um."

"Isn't this perfect for you?"

Lin Ye frowned.

"What's just right?"

The woman in crimson robes already had a hint of laughter in her voice.

"There's so much air in it, there's nowhere for it to go."

"A person who has just learned to take their first breath."

"You two work together."

Wanling immediately spoke.

"Theoretically, it is indeed possible."

Lin Ye looked at the sealed box.

Which side are you on?

"I'm on the side of the cultivation technique."

"Weren't you just cursing them for needing to be fucked?"

"Debts are debts, and the Dharma is the Dharma."

Lu Zhixia suppressed a laugh on the other end of the phone.

"So you've been talking for so long."

"The final meaning is..."

"You want me to train with Lin Ye?"

Crimson Robe: "Yes."

Wanling: "We can try."

Lin Ye leaned back in his chair.

"How do I practice?"

The woman in crimson paused for a moment.

"The first time is very simple."

"Sit face to face."

"Palms touching."

"Synchronized breathing."

"Then."

She was smiling very happily.

"Let your breath enter her body."
