Qin Yi went out and found Ye Ling, but Ye Ling did not return to her East Palace. She sat outside the Fragrant Aroma Hall waiting.

Seeing Qin Yi come out, she sniffed, her little face full of suspicion.

At this moment, a very nonsensical thought actually crossed Qin Yi's mind: suspicion, the fox's suspicion, Cheng Cheng's confusion. jpg? Then should your expression be called snake suspicion?

But then Ye Ling spoke up, "It's all the scent of Master. You really went there for treatment?"

Qin Yi blinked.

Ye Ling blinked her eyes.

Then Qin Yi grabbed him and said, "Why are you learning this kind of thing at such a young age?"

Ye Ling was being lifted into the air, her arms and legs flailing about. "I'm not a little kid anymore, I'm sixteen!"

"Holy crap, are you really sixteen, you Bean Sprouts?"

"She's really sixteen!"

"Then why do you still look like you're twelve or thirteen? Is it because you've reached the Core Formation stage?"

"No..." Ye Ling said, "Master said that because I transformed into human form too early, coupled with the slowing of Demon Power, I might only grow to look like a human for one or two years in a hundred or two years... But my true form has already transformed into a giant snake through cultivation, which is very powerful!"

"Impressive my foot... So why doesn't your IQ grow? It takes you a hundred years to grow just one year older!"

Ye Ling slumped down, like a salted fish.

He muttered to himself, "I'm not stupid..."

"Okay, okay, you're not stupid, you're an innocent and lively child." Qin Yi replied casually, feeling a sense of relief for some reason. At least you're not forever twelve or thirteen...

Uh, it takes a hundred years to grow one year older? Well...

Ye Ling asked, "How is Master?"

"There's hope, but I need to figure out how to refine this pill. Arrange a quiet room for me, where no one is allowed to disturb me. Also, give me a list of all the materials that can be obtained from the Demon City."

Ye Ling vanished in an instant, leaving Qin Yi with nothing in his hands.

Qin Yi's heart stirred slightly.

This kid is actually really amazing; he's happy to be carried around like a salted fish.

Before long, Ye Ling returned with two jade slips, took Qin Yi's hand and led him to the side. "There are Three Meridians converging in the palace. The core of the meridian is a top secret place that no one else can enter. Brother, you can not only meditate inside, but you can also greatly benefit from cultivation."

The core of the Demon City's earth veins...

Qin Yi felt a little dazed. Was this the very thing that Cheng Cheng had used them to obtain?

It is said to be able to improve the cultivation of the entire White Kingdom, and the benefits for Cheng Cheng and Ye Ling, who reside in the palace, are unimaginable. Qin Yi could already sense that many of the palace guards possessed the aura of Core Formation, and the White Kingdom back then definitely didn't have so many Core Formation demons.

The entire White Kingdom has risen to prominence in the past two years due to the unification of its ley lines, leaving the other two kingdoms with virtually no rivals, making their unification a natural outcome. This also means that if Cheng Cheng continues its expansion and development, the revival of the Demon Race is just around the corner.

Cheng Cheng has always been a very visionary emperor. Everything she does is based on the interests of the entire clan, rather than fighting against others for personal strength.

Is it because I'm getting old that I keep reminiscing about the past?

He shook his head. "No need to go to the ley lines, just find a quiet room."

"Oh, then come to my place, brother." Ye Ling happily grabbed Qin Yi's hand and turned to run towards the East Palace: "I also have my own meditation room, protected by earth veins, it's very powerful!"

Seeing his adorable, treasure-like expression, Qin Yi couldn't help but chuckle.

He himself resided in the Huiyang cave abode for cultivation and didn't really think that the Demon City's ley lines could provide him with much benefit.

Just as he reached the door of the quiet room, he saw the Gang Jing standing there stiffly. When Qin Yi came over, the Gang Jing was about to speak when Ye Ling pointed at him, and the argumentative person fell silent, his Gang Jing opening and closing but no sound came out.

Ye Ling said nonchalantly, "Brother, don't panic, this is normal."

Yeah, I understand that you have to ban Gang Jing deal with them... Ye Ling, you're already a qualified moderator...

Ye Ling pointed at the heavy door again, and the door slowly opened, immediately releasing a faint aura of ancient Savage Wilderness.

Qin Yi let out a sound of surprise, and even the Liusu in the stick let out a sound of surprise.

Perhaps the geological features of this Demon City are different from what I imagined?

Ye Ling said, "We won't bother you any longer, brother. If you need anything, just let us know and we'll go get it right away."

Qin Yi nodded and entered the door. The door slowly closed, completely isolating him from the fresh air of the outside world.

Qin Yi suddenly felt a sense of unease, as if he were standing on some desolate wilderness, where the sky and earth were vast and boundless, and strange beasts from ancient times were treading in the mist, bringing a tremor like an earthquake.

"The so-called Demon Clan Earth Veins are actually the source of all life," Liusu said, her staff floating out. "Demons were born earlier than humans, and they also seek the power of the ancient sages and the power of creation—powers shared with the primordial world in the beginning. This ley line is only a branch, so its effect is average. The true core of the Three Meridians would probably have a much greater effect on you."

"Does it work on people too?"

"Humans are also living beings, and they also know about heaven and earth. In some aspects, they are the same... It's just that humans have done many things that violate the laws of nature. The demons believe that they are the ones who have returned to their origin. There's nothing to argue about in this regard, since we can find the same essence in terms of power."

"I see."

Qin Yi looked around. It was a very primitive stone cave, with uneven stone edges and stalactites hanging down, giving it a somewhat spiritual feel. There was a stone mortar holding the dripping stalactite, but other than that, there were no signs of human intervention.

In the center of the quiet room was a huge black stone, with a faint vortex in the very center, and next to the vortex... was a lollipop.

Qin Yi: "..."

This is so incredibly strange, it's definitely the place where Ye Ling is meditating, there's no doubt about it.

Qin Yi then sat down cross-legged in the center of the vortex. Sure enough, he could feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth flowing up and down from the Heavenly Spirit Spring. However, the nature of the spiritual energy was somewhat different from what he cultivated. Qin Yi was pleasantly surprised to find that it seemed to be a Tai Chi that could simultaneously supply his Gang Qi and Law Power, just like it was originally a form after the two were combined.

However, a little screening is needed to eliminate some Yao Qi and blood-related Blood Qi.

"Demon Cultivator... could they really be the same as those who cultivate both immortality and Dual Cultivation of Immortality and Martial Arts like me?"

"In essence, they may not be that different. Forcibly distinguishing between nature and fate is a path that humans are forced to diverge due to their own weakness. The true form of a demon is much stronger than that of a human. Refining Demon Power and Dual Cultivation of Immortality and Martial Arts."

Qin Yi said, "So, does that mean I can really cultivate using the ley lines of the Demon City?"

"It's possible... but it can't last long, otherwise the Yao Qi can easily influence one's mind and make one cruel."

"Why didn't Ye Ling Cheng Cheng that night?"

"Demon Cultivator have their own selection methods, and suppressing wildness is a basic skill. Since you've never been exposed to Demon Cultivator methods, don't even think about it; it'll only add to your inner demons." Liusu paused, then added, "However, it's possible under certain circumstances."

"What's going on?"

"After you cultivate with the female demon, you develop commonalities."

"... Never mind." Qin Yi changed the subject. "Do you have a clear understanding of Cheng Cheng's situation?"

"I do need to think about how to refine pills. There are no precedents to follow. It depends on your personal understanding of Dao of Alchemy and living beings." Liusu did not express whether she had this confidence or not. Instead, she said, "The same goes for Cultivation Method. If your understanding is shallow, you can only seek suitable Cultivation Method from others. You will end up like Cheng Cheng, who has a great body but doesn't know how to use it and just leaves it there. If you have some understanding and knowledge, you will know how to practice."

Despite having such a fine body... Qin Yi sensed the resentment in that voice and a thought struck him, "Could it be that you have feelings for that body...?"

"No interest, I wouldn't take it even if you gave it to me." Liusu said expressionlessly, "Why should I have her face? What if you sleep with Chenghuang, who also has that face? Who would you be sleeping with then?"

Qin Yi: "..."

"I just resent you fools who have a treasure trove but don't realize it. Those divinely bestowed dual bodies, each with its own bloodline and advantages, if it were me, I would have been invincible long ago..."

"So you have a way?"

"If you have the opportunity, why shouldn't you teach it?"

"Okay, okay." Qin Yi smiled ingratiatingly, "I didn't say I wanted you to teach me, I was just asking out of curiosity."

"Hmph." Liusu transformed into White Jade Little Person, sitting cross-legged opposite him, looking up at the towering Qin Yi: "This alchemy session was an excellent opportunity to enhance your understanding of Dao of Alchemy. Let's discuss together what auxiliary ingredients should be added to this wisp of effort, based on your understanding, to determine its medicinal effects."
