Two and a half hours later.

The outline of Vast Sea City finally appeared in the distance, and the scenery of the outskirts gradually came into focus.

A trace of weariness flashed through Jiang Zhen's eyes. He then adjusted his Soul Power, lowered his altitude, and flew toward the familiar little courtyard.

The little courtyard was situated in a secluded spot on the outskirts, surrounded by dense vegetation that made it difficult for others to notice.

He slowly landed at the courtyard entrance, withdrew his Flight Spirit Bone Skill, and pushed open the gate to enter.

The courtyard was silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Jiang Zhen did not return to his room right away. Instead, he headed straight for the backyard.

Beside the spring in the backyard, the Blue Silver Emperor was growing well. Its leaves were lush and green, gleaming faintly beneath the moonlight.

He walked to the spring, looked at the Blue Silver Emperor, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He stretched out his right hand, gathering two tiny streams of Soul Power in his palm, which then transformed into two crystal-clear Small Water Orbs.

With a light flick of his hand, the two Small Water Orbs flew toward the Blue Silver Emperor. The instant they landed on its leaves, they burst apart. Water Beads rolled down like pearls, sliding along the leaves to its roots, where the Blue Silver Emperor greedily absorbed them.

Jiang Zhen crouched down and gently stroked the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves. They were soft and smooth, carrying a faintly cool touch.

Sensing his actions, several of the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves swayed lightly before cautiously winding around his fingers, intimate and gentle in their movements.

Warmth filled Jiang Zhen's heart. His fingertips lightly brushed against the leaves as he murmured, "Absorb the water properly and keep growing."

What good conditions could you possibly have following Tang Dahan?

After interacting with the Blue Silver Emperor for a while, Jiang Zhen stood and turned toward the house.

The consecutive battles and prolonged flight had exhausted him both physically and mentally. At that moment, he only wanted to rest as soon as possible.

He fetched some clean water and washed up briefly, rinsing away the salty scent of seawater and his fatigue before returning to his room.

The room was simply furnished—a bed, a table, and a chair—yet it gave off a familiar sense of comfort.

Jiang Zhen took off his outer robe and lay down on the bed, his body relaxing instantly.

The tension and busyness of the past several days vanished in that moment. Weariness washed over him like a tide, and he fell asleep almost as soon as his head touched the pillow, quickly sinking into a deep slumber.

He slept exceptionally soundly, without any disturbance.

Outside the window, the sky changed from pitch-black to pale white, then to broad daylight, yet he never woke...

It was not until noon the next day, when sunlight streamed through the window and fell across his face, that Jiang Zhen slowly opened his eyes.

He stretched lazily, feeling refreshed all over, as though the exhaustion of the past several days had been swept away.

Jiang Zhen sat up and rubbed his eyes. His gaze swept over the room as he thought, It's been a long time since I slept this deeply. I really was exhausted.

He got out of bed, walked to the window, and pushed it open. Fresh air flooded into the room, carrying the distinctive fragrance of grass and trees from the outskirts.

The sunlight fell warmly over his body, lifting his spirits.

Jiang Zhen took a deep breath and savored the peace and comfort.

Just as he was about to plan his next steps, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—ever since absorbing the Spirit Ring last time, he had not looked at the System Panel again.

The moment the thought arose, his heart stirred. He silently recited, "Open system." The next second, a pale-blue virtual panel appeared before him, its words clear and distinct:

Host: Jiang Zhen Age: 7 Martial Soul: Water Element (Ultimate Water attribute) Soul Power: Level 27 System Mail: 1 unread message

Jiang Zhen was momentarily stunned as he looked at the information on the panel.

Then his gaze fell on the "System Mail" section, and he raised an eyebrow. "When did I get another message? This system really keeps quiet. It doesn't even bother reminding me when there's a reward."

He could not help but grumble inwardly a few times—every time the system had mail, it was this silent, without the slightest notification.

If he had not happened to remember, who knew how long this mail would have remained buried.

Grumble as he might, he still immediately tapped "Read Mail."

The pale-blue panel switched, and the mail's contents slowly unfolded:

Soul Nurturing Pill: 5 bottles (3 pills per bottle) Form Transformation Pill: 1 bottle (10 pills per bottle) Gold Soul Coin Card: 1 card (balance: 100,000) Rewards have been automatically deposited into the system space. The host may retrieve them at any time~

The instant Jiang Zhen saw the reward list, his eyes lit up—Soul Nurturing Pills could increase Spiritual Power, allowing him to withstand the soul shock of a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. This was exactly what he urgently needed right now.

Form Transformation Pills? They could actually allow Soul Beasts to take human form without abandoning their cultivation, and even freely switch between forms?

Who could he give them to? The Blue Silver Emperor?

But how is she supposed to absorb one like this? Forget it. No point worrying about it for now. Let them gather dust in the inventory first...

As for the 100,000 Gold Soul Coins, they solved his short-term financial problem.

He had nearly spent all his Gold Soul Coins already, so this was a timely replenishment.

He couldn't help but chuckle. The weariness in his heart completely vanished.

Jiang Zhen lightly tapped the air, retrieving the rewards from the system space.

Five pristine white jade bottles containing Soul Nurturing Pills, one pale violet jade bottle containing a Form Transformation Pill, and a Soul Coin Card emitting a faint golden glow instantly appeared in his palm.

He carefully examined the pills and Soul Coin Card in his hand before storing them in his Storage Ring, already beginning to make plans.

The Soul Nurturing Pills could be taken one per day to gradually enhance Spiritual Power.

After finishing all this, he looked out the window again—sunlight was just right, the breeze was gentle, and the plants in the courtyard brimmed with vitality.

Jiang Zhen rose and walked out into the courtyard.

He fetched a basin of cool well water, scooped up a handful, and splashed it onto his face. The icy sensation instantly drove away the remnants of his drowsiness, leaving his mind even clearer.

After a simple wash, he moved around in the courtyard for a while—first stretching his limbs with a few basic motions, then circulating the Profound Water Clear Mind Art and allowing pale blue Soul Power to flow slowly Inside the Body.

He threw several punches at the air, the force of his fists carrying traces of Water Element. When they struck the Old Sophora Tree in the courtyard, its leaves swayed gently.

A moment later, Jiang Zhen finished his practice and stood still. His blood and qi flowed smoothly throughout his body, while both his strength and Soul Power were in excellent condition. He then headed toward the back courtyard once more.

By the spring in the back courtyard, the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, was now absolutely full of life.

She was completely different from the listless state she had been in when he first met her!

Jiang Zhen walked to the spring and, as he had yesterday, extended his right hand. Two gentle streams of Soul Power gathered in his palm, transforming into two crystal-clear Small Water Orbs.

With a light flick of his hand, the water orbs landed precisely on Ah Yin's leaves. They instantly scattered into fine Water Beads that slid along the emerald leaf veins before being steadily absorbed by her roots.

He crouched down, his Fingertips once again brushing Ah Yin's leaves. Their soft texture met his touch, and the leaves gently rubbed against his Fingertips as if acting coquettishly.

At that moment, the bottle of Form Transformation Pills came to mind again.
