"Wow, it's Xiangling! I must be under the influence of Gods's illusion. When I wanted someone to cook delicious food, Xiangling came."

Hu Tao looked at Xiangling and said with some surprise.

"No, you might be under the illusion of Gods, but I would never be under the illusion of Gods."

Bai Ye stood up and quickly walked to Xiangling. He reached out and patted Guoba's head, asking Xiangling curiously.

"Xiangling, what brings you here?"

"I came to find you!" Xiangling said excitedly as she looked at Bai Ye.

Looking for me?

Bai Ye was taken aback, a look of surprise appearing on his face. Hu Tao's expression also began to change, looking at Bai Ye with a strange gaze.

"I have never owed Wanmin Restaurant any money for meals."

"Bai Ye, if you owe Wanmin Restaurant money for meals, I will help you pay it off as long as you become Guest Official of my Wangsheng Funeral Parlor."

"No, why would you think of that?" Xiangling shook her head, blushing.

"Then..." Bai Ye stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said to her, "Or, if you think it through and agree that I can open more accounts at Wanmin Restaurant, then I will find Seven Stars to handle the accounts."

Upon hearing this, Keqing immediately gave Bai Ye a death stare.

I'm still here.

"No, not at all!" Xiangling shook her head again, then quickly took out a secret manual and a book from her waist and said to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, this is what my master and his friend wanted to give you."

First, he picked up the Serenitea Pot and said with some surprise:

"The Serenitea Pot? Grandma Yu told me about it?"

"Yes, Master told you to give it to me." Xiangling nodded earnestly.

"This..." Bai Ye didn't know how to react.

Why would Grandma Yu give her this Serenitea Pot?

He asked Xiangling, "Why did you give me these?"

"Um..." Upon hearing Bai Ye's question, Xiangling's face suddenly turned bright red, completely at a loss for words. Should she simply say that Grandma Yu made this teapot for you to help her spend more time with you?

Guoba stood to one side, first swinging his fists and pounding the ground repeatedly. After a few poundings, seemingly feeling that this wasn't enough, he started banging his head against the ground.

"Guoba, what are you doing!" Xiangling quickly pulled Guoba away, and at the same time hurriedly said to Bai Ye, "Master, this was given to you by Master, but I don't know the specific reason."

The slapping motion of the Guoba on the ground became even more pronounced.

Bai Ye first put the Serenitea Pot aside. He possessed Adeptal Arts and knew how to use the Serenitea Pot. Then, he turned to look at another manual, wanting to see what Grandma Yu's friend had given him.

Speaking of which, the only friends of Grandma Yu who have actually met me are either Cloud Retainer or Zhongli. If Cloud Retainer truly wanted something for me, he would have given it to me directly. Since he didn't, then it must be Zhongli.

What does Zhongli want to give himself?

He opened the book about Adeptal Arts, wanting to see what those Adeptal Arts were.

After reading the contents of the book, Bai Ye could hardly believe it.

How to improve physical strength?

Moreover, it's not a method of cultivation through arduous practice, but rather a method of attracting evil energy, karmic obstacles, and other energies to stimulate the body's cells to become harder.

A unique training method that belongs exclusively to oneself.

Even Xiao and Shenhe cannot use it lightly. They are already silently enduring the power of evil spirits, and it is not easy to suppress it even in normal times. If they were to cultivate and actively mobilize it to stimulate it in their bodies, it would be like asking to go crazy.

It's even more impossible for ordinary people.

This cultivation manual can only be practiced by the individual who created it.

He touched the paper of the book and found no signs of aging. Or rather, Zhongli simply disdained to age it.

Why are you being so nice to me?

Is it because I have a good relationship with Hu Tao? Plus, I absorbed Xiao's karma.

Although the reasons are fairly valid, it still feels like something is missing.

Bai Ye asked the Hagintos in his mind, puzzled:

"Teacher, is it possible that during the Archon War, you not only didn't fight against the Rex Lapis, but instead joined forces with him?"

"What? Are you out of your mind? Didn't you say the Archon War was a zero-sum game? In the Gods War, there can only be one winner in a region. How could I possibly join forces with someone?"

"Okay, okay, I believe you, teacher."

Bai Ye gave a casual reply.

However, I decided in my heart that I should still investigate whether it was a friendly party.

"Hmph, that's more like it." Hagintos was satisfied with Bai Ye's words, and then said to Bai Ye again, "But no matter what, the Adeptal Art given by the Rex Lapis is indeed quite good. Bai Ye, hurry up and cultivate, and absorb more Gods so that I can finish repairing my soul as soon as possible. Then, all my memories will be restored."

"Good."

Bai Ye carefully memorized the Adeptal Art.

But when he was only halfway through memorizing it, Hu Tao tugged at his sleeve.

"Hey, stop looking and eat first. Xiangling has already started cooking. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold."

Only then did Bai Ye put the books away.

The two approached the fire, where Xiangling took out a pot and began cooking. Seeing Bai Ye return, she asked Bai Ye expectantly, "How was that Adeptal Art?"

"Of course it's good. Grandma Yu."

"Yes, that's right. Master really likes you."

Xiangling nodded happily. Guoba, standing to the side, lay helplessly on the ground, silently looking at the sky.

Hu Tao looked at the pot excitedly and said proudly to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, let me tell you, we really have to thank Xiangling and me tonight."

"It's only right that I thank Xiangling. Why should I thank you?"

Bai Ye was puzzled.

"I can only say it's because I just wanted a cook to appear, Xiangling appeared right in front of me. Don't you think you should thank me? Also, Bai Ye, Xiangling, what if I wanted to make our business even better..."

"Stop! Don't say anymore!" *2

Bai Ye and Xiangling shouted at the same time.

Sometimes, good wishes don't come true, but bad ones do. If Hu Tao's wish actually comes true, by tomorrow either Snezhnaya and Liyue will be at war, or the sealed Dragon King Azhdaha will be released and go mad.

"Pshaw, don't worry. I made this wish many times when I was a child, but it never came true."

"That's what Hu Tao said casually. Then, she took a good sniff of Xiangling's pot and immediately smiled with satisfaction."

"As expected of Xiangling, the things she makes are the second most fragrant I've ever smelled."

"The first fragrance is..." Xiangling was about to ask curiously, but she immediately understood what Hu Tao was talking about.

The two of them glanced at Bai Ye at the same time.

For some people, that's absolutely delicious.

Xiangling, who has a high talent for cooking, unconsciously swallowed.

As for Guoba at this moment, he has completely given up and doesn't want to say anything more.

The group finished their meal.

After finishing their meal, Bai Ye asked Hu Tao and the others to go to the cave where the Gods's residual aura was sealed, while he went to the cave to continue his work.

"What else are you going to do?" Hu Tao asked him, watching Bai Ye's actions.

"I'm going to practice some Adeptal Art."

"Go there to cultivate Adeptal Art? Isn't it dangerous?"

Hu Tao asked, puzzled.

"If it were any other immortal Adeptal Art, it would be extremely dangerous. However, this immortal Adeptal Art requires cultivation within it." Ye said to Hu Tao Bai Ye holding the Adeptal Art manual.

"To cultivate secret techniques in a place like that. What kind of weird Adepti came up with this kind of Adeptal Art?" Hu Tao muttered with some doubt. Then she called out to Bai Ye, "Never mind, you must have a communication device on you. Here, give me one, so we can stay in touch while you cultivate. If something happens to you, I can come and save you in time."

"Hmm." Bai Ye nodded, then gave Hu Tao a communication device.

Hu Tao left satisfied.

Then Bai Ye opened the forbidden gate and entered the cave entrance.

As soon as he entered the cave, Bai Ye frowned.

"The taste here is really unpleasant!"

When he left, things weren't so bad, but after he left, the aura of Gods erupted and filled the entire cave. A pitch-black aura permeated the cave, and even though it was several football fields in size, the air became stagnant and corrupt.

This made it quite uncomfortable for Bai Ye, who was also a bit of a germaphobe.

"Come on, let's begin cultivating immortal Adeptal Art." Hagintos's voice echoed in Bai Ye's mind.

At Bai Ye, he began cultivating Adeptal Art techniques, starting by mobilizing the Gods aura surrounding his body.

"Fortunately, I am a wind-attribute Genshin Eye, so manipulating the aura of these Gods is really easy."

While letting the Gods aura enter his body, Bai Ye said smugly.

"No, this shouldn't have much to do with the Wind Attribute Genshin Eye. I've never seen anyone with a Wind Attribute Genshin Eye who can manipulate the aura of Gods," Hagintos retorted again.

"That's why I'm a genius."

Bai Ye didn't care much about that, but instead began to let the Gods energy circulate within his body. Previously, he had directly used the Gods energy to repair his teacher's soul. Now, although it was still repair, he wanted to stimulate his own body before doing so.

As the Gods aura stimulated his cells, Bai Ye suddenly felt a sharp, needle-like pain.

"Ouch, that hurts."

Dongye's face wrinkled tightly in pain.

"Hmph, let me tell you, cultivating is a tough art. This time, I'll teach you a lesson..." Hagintos wanted to teach Ye a Bai Ye.

Then her soul saw Bai Ye's tightly furrowed face.

Immediately change your tone.

"If it doesn't work, let's stop practicing."

"No, I'm hoping you'll come back to life soon, so I can enjoy it even more."

"Bai Ye said through gritted teeth," Ye said.

He even came up with a reason for himself.

"Moreover, teacher, think about it, this kind of stimulation to the cells might even make me grow taller. Then, teacher, you'll see a tall, handsome, and dashing disciple."

"..." Hagintos paused for a moment, then said to Bai Ye, "This will make your body more stable after stimulating your cells, making it harder for you to grow taller in the future. But it's okay, it won't really affect you much."

"Really? It won't hinder my growth?"

"No, your roots won't grow, so there won't be this obstacle or problem."

"..." Bai Ye gritted her teeth. "Teacher, I'm still cultivating. If you say that again, will I continue cultivating?"

"Ah? Sorry, sorry..." Hagintos quickly apologized. Then, she suggested to Bai Ye, "How about I tell you a story to distract you?"

"What story?"

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years to resurrect a lover?"

"Why don't you just stay put?"

"Isn't this story good?"

Bai Ye decided to focus on mastering her immortal Adeptal Art first.

"Let's leave here for now. I'm going to check on the situation of the Gods's remains over there. I said I'd make it into raw materials for a Gundam, so I'll make it into raw materials."

After cultivating for several hours, Bai Ye felt he was nearing his limit. At the same time, he was curious about the Gods God's condition, wondering what he might have left.

I stood up and took a moment to feel my body.

Swing your fist.

The speed of his punches increased significantly.

He picked up another stone and felt his strength increasing.

"Perfect." Bai Ye thought excitedly.

"Now, am I ready to have a strength contest with Shenhe!?"

He read it silently.

Then, I heard Hagintos's lazy voice.

"Don't even think about it. Your current strength isn't even as great as that little girl outside named Hu Tao and that little cook."

Do you think you can become a god in one cultivation session?

Is this realistic?

Bai Ye: "..."

He decided to put that matter aside for now and asked Hagintos curiously, "By the way, teacher, how is your soul doing?"

"Fortunately, I've recovered a bit more than before. I estimate that if I keep this up, I'll be fully recovered soon."

Hagintos said to Bai Ye.

"Uh-huh."

Bai Ye nodded excitedly.

He prepared to go inside.

However, after taking only a few steps, he realized something and asked Hagintos:

"By the way, teacher, if you regain your soul in the future, what about your physical body? What will support your body?"

Even if your soul is fully restored, it's not over yet; there needs to be a physical body to carry it.

How else can we unleash our full potential?

"This does seem to be a problem," Hagintos said, stunned.

To bear the soul of Gods, one must at least possess the physical strength of Gods.

"Bai Ye, what are your thoughts?"

After thinking for Bai Ye, Ye said to his teacher, "Teacher, what do you think about me building the Mechanical Gundam back then? And when I do, how about I use the remains of the Gods to build an even better one to house your soul?"

"Use that thing to carry my soul?"

Hagintos immediately shook his head at the thought that he would one day become that tens of meters tall machine.

"No, I'd rather not be resurrected than have that!"
