Shi Yue smiled without confirming or denying it. "That's right! I won't need to worry about gathering materials in the short term. But I want to nurture a few more Void Refining cultivators. Without a few Void Refining realm subordinates, it's inconvenient for just the two of us to do anything. For starters, we need to help the ice qiu beast and the yingyu strange beast take human form.
