The low-grade Storage Ring was only a few feet in diameter. Qin Yi first obtained this kind from the Wilderness Witcher. Later, he filled it with all sorts of filthy items and exchanged it with Zheng Yunyi without feeling any remorse.

A typical Storage Ring is about ten to several dozen feet in diameter, like various large and small houses. That's quite a lot; unless you throw all sorts of trash into it, it's difficult to fill it up normally.

The one he was using was even more spacious than the main hall, which was enough to satisfy his Squirrel Syndrome. He could put many seemingly useless things inside quite casually.

Qin Yi still had some understanding of online games. He felt that there was a limit to how big a four-compartment bag, a sixteen-compartment bag, or a giant backpack could be. He thought that something was just right.

As a result, this Pixiu ring... well, it's not exactly infinite, but within Qin Yi's own Divine Sense range, he couldn't see the end of it at all.

What does this mean...?

Thanks to the environment inside the Jianmu tree and the recent growth of his Dao Heart, he was able to break through while healing his injuries during this period, and the moment he opened his eyes, he was already at the eighth level of the Huiyang realm.

Depending on their Forging Soul abilities, Qian Yuan can Divine Descent thousands of miles in a single thought, with better ones exceeding ten thousand miles. The eighth level of Huiyang is significantly weaker than Qian Yuan; an average level can reach approximately three to four hundred miles in a single thought, while an excellent level can double that.

Qin Yi's Forging Soul Technique, the ninth chapter of the Chaos Origin, is stronger than others, and has now reached a thousand miles.

A divine thought that travels a thousand miles!

The space within a single ring is endless!

Is this still a ring?

The dog said quietly, "Now, do you know what benefits this Pixiu spirit brings?"

Qin Yi fiddled with it for a while. "The protective and concealing effect is extremely strong. Not only can it perfectly conceal the aura of the door, but it is also almost impossible for others to detect it with their Divine Sense."

"Yes, this is the Pixiu's ability to guard wealth. No one but you can see through this ring," Gouzi said. "But its function is not limited to this; it can also be used to find treasure."

"Treasure hunting?"

"Yes, if there is treasure hidden nearby, even if neither you nor Liusu can sense it, it will react and automatically search for the treasure."

Qin Yi blinked. This was interesting...

The dog continued, "Or do you think it got all these treasures from somewhere, just scavenging them in the sea? No, no, no, it doesn't dare to scavenge too much, or it will cause a backlash. Actually, it found many of them itself in the vast ocean, and now they're all yours."

The vast ocean has unknowingly left behind countless ancient treasures. Over tens of thousands of years, the Pixiu has collected an immeasurable amount of treasures.

Qin Yi looked inside the ring again. The boundless expanse was dazzling with the light of countless treasures: Spirit Stone, materials, magical artifacts, and rare and exotic Law Treasure, categorized into all sorts of types and natures—it was even more outrageous than robbing a dozen or twenty sects. In the void, a single spark floated, like a miniature sun within this ring's space.

It was a treasure trove, Qin Yi couldn't find even a suitable material to upgrade his prayer beads in a short time; there were just too many things inside.

They robbed that Qian Yuan Heavenly Being of relatively few items, but they were exceptional and rare. Back then, people already thought Qin Yi alone was equivalent to an entire sect; now, he's probably equivalent to an entire Sea Realm...

Qin Yi squatted down, looked down at the ring, and then looked up at the dog that was also squatting in front of him.

The dog clasped its paws with a hint of regret. "This used to be my new bed, I would wake up smiling if I lay down there... It's a pity I don't live there anymore."

You are now a king, living in Jianmu, and you envy a ring nest? Are you mistaken about something?

Qin Yi couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."

"..." The dog remained silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled, "You will never satisfy me."

"Let's just satisfy whatever percentage is acceptable."

"Then I can't leave."

Qin Yi sighed and handed over the Soul Nourishing Ball from before, which Gouzi silently accepted.

The two looked at each other, speechless, tears streaming down their faces.

This is a breakup ball.

Ugh, what a scumbag.

Qin Yi patted its head. "All good things must come to an end. Be a good king. I'll come to play with you again when I have time."

Yes, Taotie is now the king of the sea, no longer just a dog that follows him around.

The dog sighed, "You're not going to leave now, are you? The Jianmu tree will take some time to mature."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "You can't bear to part with me?"

"Get lost," Gouzi said. "The cultivation environment here is exceptionally favorable. If you don't break through to the Qian Yuan realm here, don't even think about Kunlun Void."

Qin Yi was taken aback. "Kunlun Void..."

The dog said calmly, "Among the things Liusu needs, there are some whose whereabouts are unknown, such as... Celestial Soul Profound Soil, Heavenly Evolution Radiance?"

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes.

"If such a thing still exists in the world, it's probably only in Kunlun Void," Gouzi said. "No matter what you thought before, I believe you would definitely go. After all, you're willing to give your heart for that Smelly Ghost."

Qin Yi was taken aback, his expression strange. "How did you know about this? Is Baxia such a blabbermouth?"

The dog looked at him with pity, thinking to himself, "If your other girls also asked you to do this, would you die here?"

In any case, we have to wait for the Jianmu tree to bear fruit before we can go anywhere. We don't know whether Kunlun Void open first or the Jianmu tree will bear fruit first.

It is said that Kunlun Void was opened first in the past, but this time Jianmu has been disturbed and seems to have been brought to an early conclusion, but it is unclear for the time being.

I have about three months left to stay...

Qin Yi didn't stay inside the Jianmu tree to cultivate. After tidying up his Pixiu ring, he went to the Jian Mu Summit.

Senior Sister and Qing Cha have always lived here.

Even if my Senior Sister tears me apart, I have to bite the bullet and go see her.

As they approached their Senior Sister's chamber, they saw Qing Cha laboriously dragging a clam out, dragging it for a while until it reached the edge of the pool, where she threw it in with a splash.

A gurgling sound rose from the pool, and soon An'an's face emerged, her expression one of wanting to cry but having no tears.

Qing Cha squatted by the pool, her face beaming with excitement. "Little Clam, will you do it again next time?"

An'an was speechless. "Why are you so happy that I made a mistake?"

Qing Cha clapped her hands. "Finally, someone's even sillier than me, hahaha!"

Before the laughter had even subsided, someone grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up. "Why are you bullying An'an?"

Qing Cha was suddenly lifted up, and she instinctively flailed her arms and legs in struggle. Upon hearing the voice, she immediately slumped down. "Master ordered me to throw this Little Clam away."

Qin Yi turned to look at An'an, An'an smiled apologetically, "An'an is foolish and has upset Elder Sister Ju."

Ju Yunxiu's voice came from inside. "How did you teach this clam before? The difficulty of teaching her is no less than that of Qing Cha."

An'an looked extremely distressed, her head hanging low and her hair covered in water.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "I have a special education method."

"Come in and tell me."

Qin Yi held Qing Cha in his arms, Qing Cha smiled happily.

I've never been held like this before, it feels so comfortable.

"Qing Cha, how old are you! This is how you hold a baby." Ju Yunxiu's voice, both amused and exasperated, came from inside the house. She rubbed her forehead and said, "Never mind... children are easier to take care of. Some of them think they're adults and are all talk and no action, but they don't even know how many lives they have."

Qin Yi entered the house, Ju Yunxiu was standing by the window. Sunlight streamed through the window lattice, carrying with it the misty, ethereal atmosphere of the Jianmu tree. Ju Yunxiu stood there as if she were standing among the clouds, almost as if she were about to take flight.

This Elder Sister is becoming more and more ethereal.

Judging solely from her ethereal appearance, among all the people Qin Yi had met, Ju Yunxiu was undoubtedly the best.

But this Yunxiu beauty vanished the moment Qin Yi stepped into the house, as if a celestial mountain had been tainted by the mortal world.

Qin Yi stood in the room holding Qing Cha, Ju Yunxiu stood by the window facing him. It felt like they were bringing a child to find their mother, completely destroying any secluded or otherworldly airs.

After staring at each other for a while, Ju Yunxiu's expression softened, and she said in a low voice, "Never mind, you've always been so reckless anyway."

Qin Yi put down his Qing Cha, walked behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and rested his chin on her shoulder.

This is their favorite pose.

Ju Yunxiu's gaze fell on the clouds outside the window, and she said softly, "Qiu Niu thought I would be jealous, and Baxia got a beating when it said that. Actually, I'm not jealous, I'm just worried about you."

Qin Yi finally spoke, "Senior Sister, I..."

Ju Yunxiu turned around, her slender finger pressed against his lips. "Back then, you used a shard of the door to lure Ye Bieqing, and the danger you put yourself in was no less than this. People say that the Immortal Dao of immortals is inherently selfish, defying fate to save oneself, seizing creation to nourish the body, one person and one mountain, with the gentle breeze as companion, that is an immortal. It sounds cold, but you have been proving every moment that the Immortal Path Not Cold."
