Even Liusu admired Qin Yi.

What I admire most is that he only really puts his Transformations to good use in these kinds of situations; at other times, it's as if he's completely forgotten he can transform...

At times like this, if you feel a coffin over there that's creepy, you immediately turn into a wall without even thinking about it.

The wall is perfectly positioned; nothing can be seen from the outside, while the inside is just the right space for the bed and pool, with some extra room to avoid feeling cramped. It also incorporates some decorative wall carvings from the surrounding area. The lighting inside is soft, the fragrance of flowers is delightful, and the pool is filled with Spiritual Qi aura, creating a hazy and ambiguous atmosphere—the perfect setup for a Spiritual Spring Bath.

Dual cultivation is indeed the best way to recover... so after going to sea, we still have to take an Image-Recording Mirror.

Liusu sighed and floated out of the ring, hiding in a corner by the pool. After thinking for a moment, she waved her hand and released a Soul Curtain, with slight ripples blocking the view.

No, I'm not watching it. What's so interesting about it?

Soon, Qing Cha also ran over through the curtain, sat in the corner with her knees drawn up to her chest, and rested her chin on her knees, remaining silent.

Liusu turned her head to look at her, then looked down at her round shape. With a "pop," she turned into a White Jade Little Person, and then contentedly hugged her knees and rested her chin on them.

Qing Cha looked at it in surprise and cautiously reached out to poke it.

Liusu ignored her.

The Qing Cha touched Liusu's forearm, feeling strange to the touch—warm and smooth like jade, yet soft but not quite jade, and seemingly elastic enough to sink into...

"What's this?" Qing Cha asked earnestly. "Is it a marshmallow?"

Liusu said irritably, "This is the manifestation of the Yin Spirit, the solidification of the soul into a physical form. Even your master couldn't do that; he's far inferior. You're so simple-minded, it'll be difficult for you to understand."

"Oh." Qing Cha leaned closer. "You're so cute, can I hug you?"

Liusu was stunned for a moment, then saw Qing Cha reach out and pick it up. "So cute!"

He gave me a quick kiss.

Liusu:"..."

Qing Cha asked, "Little Ghost, what's your name? I heard my martial uncle call you Bangbang?"

"..." Liusu hesitated for a moment. "Call me whatever you want."

"No, 'lollipop' is not good. We can call it 'candy' instead."

"You actually want to eat me, don't you?"

"No, no, I'm not greedy." Qing Cha nodded firmly, "Qing Cha isn't greedy."

Liusu raised her head slightly, glancing down sideways. "You'll only be eaten... When you grow up a bit more, your uncle will probably look at you like you're a snack, and won't have time to call me candy..."

Qing Cha stared blankly at it. "Why can you look at me with your nostrils?"

Liusu was furious. "I saw it with my own eyes!"

"I don't feel anything."

"I..." Liusu felt she couldn't communicate with someone mentally challenged and snapped, "I was talking about your martial uncle, why are you talking about me?"

"Master will beat my martial uncle to death." Qing Cha was certain. "Listen to his voice..."

On the other side of the curtain, Qin Yi hissed.

Liusu raised her head even higher, giving Liu Su an expression as if she were looking at someone with a mental disability.

Feeling discriminated against, Qing Cha placed the Liusu on the ground.

"..." Poor Liusu really had to tilt her head back completely to see Qing Cha's face. From below, sure enough, the first thing she saw was her nostrils.

"So you're the Nose-Hole Person."

Qing Cha: "???"

Liusu finally realized that the snake was feigning stupidity, while the tea was genuinely naive.

Actually, she never grows up. The child spirit who received the enlightenment will remain a child spirit until death; whatever age they were then will remain that age. You've lived for over a hundred years and haven't realized you're never going to grow up? What are you trying so hard to grow up for...?

If she really wants to grow up, we'll probably have to hope to find a suitable congenital plant to replace her "bloodline".

Seeing her adorable face, Liusu couldn't keep a straight face anymore, and her voice softened a bit. "Qin Yi will find a way, not only to help you grow up, but also to let you improve your cultivation. After all, he needs to eat..."

"What do you want to eat?"

"Have some tea and snacks."

Liusu replied irritably, feeling strange in her heart. Why was she always playing with these children? Either she was chatting nonsense with the stupid snake in the garden, or she was doing silly things with Qing Cha by the pond.

Is it because I'm popular with children?

After thinking it over and over but still not figuring it out, Liusu became sullen and plunged into the pool, ignoring Qing Cha and going off to cultivate her Spiritual Qi.

With a "plop," Qing Cha jumped down as well. "Little Ghost, let me help you wash."

"I don't need to wash! I'm a soul! Hey, hey, what are you doing? I told you I don't need to wash!"

"Is it comfortable?"

"...good."

In the world of painting, Feng Bulie dealt with the monkey, finding it increasingly difficult.

Clashing with Qian Yuan Level restriction has truly taken a toll on him; he's badly injured. Dealing with Shining Sun Peak monkey is no longer so easy, especially since this monkey is known for its sneak attacks...

Now, apart from taking his own medicine, he hasn't even had the leisure to sit cross-legged and meditate. His injuries haven't healed; instead, he was ambushed by the monkey and his condition has worsened considerably.

Since the clash with the restriction, the area outside the painting has become quiet. Initially, they could sense the scroll moving slightly with Qin Yi and the others, but it stopped moving afterward, leaving them wondering what was happening outside.

Considering the terrifying Netherworld restriction, Feng Bulie felt that Qin Yi must be dealing with a very dangerous situation, and might even be dead.

Qin Yi is dying.

Inside the cave, there was no sun or moon. When Qin Yi emerged refreshed, his cultivation had long since returned to normal, and he happily went off to help Liusu refine pills.

Li Qingjun came out, too ashamed to face Qing Cha or the Little Ghost. With a flushed face, she took the fragment of the "door" and went into the painting world that Ju Yunxiu had provided to cultivate.

The abundant Spiritual Qi and springs here, coupled with the gate... Li Qingjun felt that she could still achieve a breakthrough in the near future, and then she would go down to the Netherworld with Qin Yi.

Only Ju Yunxiu lazily soaked in the spiritual spring, casually playing with the Other Shore Flower in her hands, looking languid and leisurely.

Her practice method is different from others; it doesn't involve asceticism.

Sleep is more important.

I'm so tired these past few days, I think I'll take a nap... Oh, wait, there's still the art world I need to perk up for. My body's feeling sluggish right now, but my cultivation is incredibly vigorous; I feel like I could try some kind of refining...

Ju Yunxiu held the painting in her hands and closed her eyes.

Feng Bulie in the painting suddenly felt an increase in pressure.

It felt somewhat like being in the deepest part of the ocean, with pressure coming from all sides, as if the whole world was against you. Although this pressure couldn't Feng Bulie, the situation became increasingly difficult. The sun and moon shone even brighter, turning the once peaceful and sunny world into a scorching, blazing inferno, giving the feeling of being refined in Pill Furnace.

Feng Bulie quickly realized that this was a way of refining him.

He uses heaven and earth as a furnace and his entire being as the elixir.

Once refined, his soul will be filled into the Sky Curtain of this world, his flesh and blood will be transformed into the land and rivers of this world, and this painting will be completely upgraded to a Qian Yuan Treasure!

Feng Bulie laughed loudly, "Ju Yunxiu, you think you can take me on?"

At this moment, Ju Yunxiu, whose soul was connected to the painting, could hear Feng Bulie's voice and replied calmly, "I'm not the only one here. I'm just here to wear you down."

From Feng Bulie's perspective, it was like hearing a deafening echo from heaven and earth, "I'm only responsible for wearing you down... wearing you down..."

He was utterly baffled. Why did he feel like Qin Yi others were venturing into dangerous territory, but in the end, he was the one who was exhausted while they seemed to be on a picnic? You go gather firewood, and I'll start a fire, is that how it is?

(Note: Many readers Feng Bulie endured before. Here's a rough explanation: the water pressure at a depth of 10,000 meters is over 100 megapascals. A person with Protective Barrier can withstand pressure of over 10,000 tons. Here, we're setting it at 10,000 zhang, meaning that Feng Bulie was constantly enduring tens of thousands of tons of pressure and was still able to move normally. He was also passively attacked through the barrier membrane, but he wasn't even seriously injured. This shows that Qian Yuan's performance was already extremely impressive.)
