The Eye of Life, Elder Yi's World-Shaking Wisdom is Activated!

Jiang Ci'an looked at Xiao Xiao, a soft sigh escaping his heart.

He did not refute her, his tone softening slightly.

"I am preparing to go into seclusion for cultivation. I will be away for some time; can you manage things on your own?"

Xiao Xiao blinked, seemingly catching the subtle shift in Jiang Ci'an's tone. Her eyes flickered with a hint of pleasant surprise.

Without asking further, she nodded earnestly.

"Understood, I will take good care of myself!"

Jiang Ci'an nodded, and after giving Xiao Xiao a few more instructions, he turned and returned to his room.

The door closed, shutting out the twilight from beyond the window.

He stood in the room, a flicker of contemplation crossing his gaze.

If it were before, he would have chosen to keep his distance from Wang Dong'er due to the identities of Da Ming and Er Ming.

After all, he lacked the confidence to face those who were ostensibly part of God King Tang's faction; any unnecessary contact could become a source of risk.

Staying away was the correct choice.

But now, Having successfully drawn out Electrolux, established a cooperative relationship with him, and learned information regarding his own uniqueness from Electrolux's own lips, he finally possessed enough confidence to maneuver a little.

Of course, the best foundation was his own strength.

Jiang Ci'an took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and called out softly in his heart.

"Elder Yi?"

As the words fell, a gray door manifested out of thin air before him.

Jiang Ci'an's expression remained calm as he stepped inside.

The surrounding scenery shifted, and the light grew dim.

In the sky, that black sun still hung suspended, emitting an eerie purple radiance that shrouded the entire land in a cold, ghostly halo.

In the distance, the figure of Electrolux stood silently, his eyes lowered as he watched the cluster of emerald-green liquid metal flowing in his hand, which seemed to possess a tangible life of its own.

Gold of Life.

Seeing Jiang Ci'an arrive, Electrolux looked up and asked:

"Are you ready?"

Jiang Ci'an nodded, his gaze earnest.

"Proceed, Elder Yi."

Electrolux smiled and nodded. Without wasting time, he turned his wrist slightly, and the cluster of liquid Gold of Life flew from his palm, hovering like an emerald droplet before the center of Jiang Ci'an's brow.

Then, it slowly submerged.

Jiang Ci'an closed his eyes, carefully sensing the sensation spreading from his brow.

The first feeling was a faint chill.

It was a very comfortable coolness, like a handful of crisp mountain spring water in the middle of summer. The chill seeped under his skin from his brow, then slowly diffused throughout his entire body.

Like a trickling stream, it flowed silently through every inch of his meridians and bones, cleansing his body.

At the same time, The "Body Tempering Method" within Jiang Ci'an's body began to run frantically!

Previously, when Jiang Ci'an practiced the "Body Tempering Method," he would always leave some room for error; after all, the technique could not be overloaded, or his body would struggle to bear it, resulting in irreversible damage.

But now, the power of the Gold of Life was strengthening his physical body at an astonishing speed.

That cool, life-giving energy acted like the sturdiest shield, wrapping his body in its embrace and allowing the "Body Tempering Method"—which previously required careful control—to be completely unleashed.

His physical strength soared under the constant nourishment of the life force, while his Soul Power, carried along by his strengthening body, also began to climb rapidly.

His Soul Power, which had only recently reached level seventeen, was now surging upward like a bursting dam, showing no signs of stopping!

To the side, Electrolux, who was overseeing the opening of the Eye of Life, paused slightly. He watched this scene, a hint of contemplation crossing his eyes.

He could feel that the cultivation technique within Jiang Ci'an was using the rich life force of the Gold of Life to frantically boost his cultivation, at a speed far exceeding the normal range.

But at the same time, he saw something in Jiang Ci'an's cultivation technique that looked familiar.

"It's somewhat like the cultivation methods of a Knight... though it is more suited to the cultivation system of this world.

"It seems... it could be improved slightly?"

Electrolux murmured. Watching the Eye of Life gradually taking shape between Jiang Ci'an's brows, he hesitated for a moment before making a decision.

He raised his hand, and golden light condensed in his palm, precisely sinking into Jiang Ci'an's brow to begin directly interfering with the opening process of the Eye of Life.

Jiang Ci'an, however, remained entirely unaware.

He was fully immersed in feeling the integration of the Gold of Life, guiding that gentle and pure life force to circulate through his body, scouring every corner of his meridians.

The entire process was exceptionally comfortable.

That warmth and sense of expansion rising from the depths of his bone marrow left his entire body immersed in a state of physical transformation.

He did not notice that the speed at which his Soul Power was increasing had reached an absurdly abnormal level.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

In the backyard of Ping'an Pharmacy.

Beside the training ground, a cattail mat lay quietly on the blue brick floor. Xiao Xiao sat upright upon it, legs crossed, hands resting naturally on her knees, her back straight and her breathing long and steady.

The Soul Power around her body surged and ebbed like the tide. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her small face was filled with focus.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, Xiao Xiao's Soul Power jolted violently, and her aura instantly climbed to a new level.

Xiao Xiao let out a light breath and slowly opened her eyes.

Level sixteen.

She lowered her gaze, feeling the Soul Power within her, which was far more robust than it had been a month ago, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

One level gained in two months.

Such a speed was incredibly fast.

One had to know, it had not even been a year since she awakened her Martial Soul.

Although this was partly due to the Whale Rubber she had consumed recently, as well as the high-quality natural treasures Wang Dong'er had occasionally brought for her over the past month, such a speed would still be considered shocking if word of it got out.

Nearby, Wang Dong'er watched this scene, the expression on her small face shifting slightly.

No way, sister, how did you break through again!

Wang Dong'er didn't know what to say for a moment.

After she and Xiao Xiao had gone from fighting to becoming friends a month ago, her fighting spirit had been ignited. She, who usually didn't cultivate very seriously, had started to buckle down.

After a month of hard training... well, it wasn't exactly "hard," but at least she was much more serious than before.

But in any case, she had finally relied on her own accumulation a few days ago to successfully break through to level fifteen.

She had thought that since she was now on the same level as Xiao Xiao, fighting her wouldn't be so strenuous.

But who would have thought that Xiao Xiao would break through again today!

Level fifteen versus level sixteen—although the gap didn't look large, this girl was just too strong!

Even if she used her second Martial Soul, her chances of winning weren't high.

No, is it really this ridiculous? Why does it feel like you're the one who absorbed a soul ring beyond your limit!

Wang Dong'er thought gloomily, the urge to "increase her cultivation" becoming inexplicably urgent in her heart.

Beside her, Xiao Xiao exhaled softly, turned her head to look at Wang Dong'er's sullen expression, blinked, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Do you want to spar again?"

Wang Dong'er's small face scrunched up, and she decisively refused.

"No, I'm not fighting you."

Although she didn't want to admit it, the fact was that she really couldn't beat Xiao Xiao!

Xiao Xiao's strength was terrifyingly high. She looked small and delicate, but when she swung her cauldron, it whistled with power, capable of smashing a crater into the ground.

Especially since Xiao Xiao had recently learned to throw the cauldron directly; even flying in the sky wasn't safe anymore.

Just imagine, you're flying along perfectly fine, and suddenly a massive cauldron comes flying toward your face from below—who could withstand that?

In any case, she wasn't fighting.

If she were to fight... she would wait until she started cultivating her second Martial Soul!
