Ji An was a sentimental man. He found the cave where he had stayed the night before and swiftly set up the Black Tortoise Armor Formation.
"Should we go in and take a look this time?"
He smiled at Yue Ling'er. Her features were stunning, her skin glowing with a pale sheen. If one ignored her identity as a corpse refinement, she was still quite pleasing to the eye.
"That would not be impossible."
"Haha, extend your divine sense, then."
Fighting side by side was the best way to strengthen their bond. During the battle, Yue Ling'er had shown no sign of bloodlust, and Ji An's trust in her had grown considerably.
The two of them entered the Gourd World. Ji An said:
"Look around as you please, but do not touch any spiritual herbs or fruits. Some of the spiritual trees are lightning-struck wood, so be careful."
With a sharp whistle, he summoned the Golden Feathered Eagle and instructed it:
"Little Gold, this is Yue Ling'er. Take her around and treat her as you would True Monarch Wuyue."
"Understood. True Lord, please follow me."
Yue Ling'er recovered from her shock. "Lead the way."
A Fourth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein was not enough to shake her, but she could sense an extraordinary familiarity within the earth beneath her feet.
If she could burrow underground and absorb a special Earth Qi, it would likewise help improve her cultivation. All corpse refinements had initially been nurtured by drawing upon the yin qi beneath the earth.
Though the Earth Qi here was not yin qi, she instinctively knew that it would benefit her as well.
After Yue Ling'er left, Ayun walked forward in small steps and communicated mentally.
"Master, should I prepare spiritual tea?"
"Yes. Bring a pot of top-grade Jade Dew Golden Bud."
