Relocating the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

Bai Yi rode the Somersault Cloud through the clouds.

The direction of Heaven Dou City gradually grew larger at the edge of his vision, the outline of that towering city rimmed with gold in the morning sun.

He flew quickly, the wind whistling past his ears as a slender trail of light streamed from the golden cloud behind him.

Bai Yi sent a thread of consciousness into the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm.

The Buddha Kingdom was much livelier than before.

Ye Lingling sat cross-legged at the center of that patch of land. The glow of the Nine Heart Begonia slowly spread, covering a large area of transplanted flowers, grass, and trees.

Nourished by her martial soul, those plants flourished. Their leaves were lush and emerald green, their branches sturdy and upright, and the entire ground was blanketed in vibrant green life.

Ye Lingling was not wearing her veil. Her cool, exquisite face looked almost unreal beneath the pink radiance of the Nine Heart Begonia. Her pale blue hair fell over her shoulders, its ends drifting gently with the fluctuations of her Soul Power.

Her eyes were slightly closed, and her aura was serene and gentle, like a flower growing amid immortal mist.

Xiao Wu crouched on a nearby rock, propping up her cheeks with both hands as she watched Ye Lingling, her eyes sparkling.

She could not help but sigh. "Sister Lingling is so beautiful, just like a fairy."

Ning Rongrong stood nearby with her hands on her hips. "Hmph, Sister Lingling was already beautiful. Did you really need to say that?"

Xiao Wu turned to glance at her. "I wasn't talking to you."

Ning Rongrong glared at her. "Then were you talking to thin air?"

Xiao Wu lifted her chin. "I was talking to a fairy. Is that not allowed?"

Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing stood a little farther away, quietly leaning against a transplanted tree. Her gaze rested on Ye Lingling before dropping to her own figure, which had only begun to take shape. A trace of barely noticeable loneliness flashed through her eyes.

She sighed inwardly. Perhaps only a woman like Ye Lingling deserved to stand by his side.

Xiao Wu jumped down from the rock and pointed at Ning Rongrong. "By age, even your ancestors would have to call me Grandma. You should be calling me Sister Xiao Wu."

Ning Rongrong's cheeks puffed up with anger. "Cut that out! You were only born a tiny bit earlier than me. Why should I call you sister?"

Xiao Wu put her hands on her waist. "Earlier is still earlier. When you're younger, you should act your age. Hurry up and call me Sister Xiao Wu."

Ning Rongrong stomped her foot. "No! I won't call you that even if it kills me!"

Bai Yi's voice descended from above, interrupting them. "Enough, stop arguing. We have serious business to handle."

His consciousness condensed into form and walked over to Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu. With a flick of his right hand, two pills appeared in his palm.

One was pale green and gave off a clear, springlike aura. It had been refined from the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

The other was lustrous white, its surface flowing with a moist sheen. It had been refined from the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.

Bai Yi handed the pale green pill to Xiao Wu and the lustrous white one to Zhu Zhuqing. "Eat them."

Xiao Wu took hers, glanced at it, and tossed it straight into her mouth without another word. She chewed twice and swallowed.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then accepted the pill and placed it in her mouth.

The instant the pills slid down their throats, both girls' bodies trembled.

A gentle yet vast medicinal power rapidly spread through their bodies, washing through their meridians and nourishing their Soul Power cores.

Xiao Wu's Soul Power rose from level thirty-two Soul Elder—level thirty-four, level thirty-eight—before finally stopping at level forty-two.

Zhu Zhuqing's improvement was even more remarkable.

She had only been level twenty-eight. The moment the medicinal power entered her body, her Soul Power began soaring wildly—level thirty, level thirty-two, level thirty-six—before likewise stopping at the peak of Soul Elder.

Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head to look at her hands, feeling the abundant Soul Power within her, so full it seemed ready to overflow. Her eyes suddenly reddened.

She raised her head to look at Bai Yi, and the deeply buried affection in her eyes spilled forth once more.

She no longer knew how she could repay the ever-deepening kindness he had shown her.

By then, Xiao Wu had already pounced on him excitedly, hanging from his body as she kissed his cheek hard.

"Wow! Bai Yi, you're amazing!"

Ning Rongrong stood beside them, and the sight immediately made her anxious.

"You shameless rabbit!"

Then she rushed over as well, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Bai Yi's other cheek. Only after doing so did she realize what she had done.

Her entire face turned red from her forehead to the base of her neck, yet she still held her head high and glared at Xiao Wu with an unwilling-to-yield expression.

Bai Yi ignored the warm, soft sensation on his face.

He wrapped both arms around their waists and said calmly,

"Alright, back to business."

Meanwhile, Er Ming crouched in a corner not far away, staring longingly at Bai Yi. A thread of drool dripped from the corner of its mouth, as if it wanted a few immortal pills too.

Bai Yi looked back at it helplessly.

"Be good, Er Ming. I don't have any left on me for now. Once the immortal herbs grow back, I'll give you some."

Er Ming let out a wounded whimper and buried its head between its paws.

Er Ming was suffering too. It was clearly the one working the hardest.

Bai Yi's consciousness withdrew from the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm.

The Somersault Cloud beneath his feet suddenly accelerated, diving toward the depths of Sunset Forest.

Before long, they arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Bai Yi hovered above the spring, looking down at the two pools below.

One red and one blue, clearly separated. The surrounding air warped unpredictably under the pull of extreme heat and cold.

He did not act immediately.

Bai Yi first opened the entrance to the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, having the four girls stand at four different positions around the small world.

Ye Lingling stood in the southeast corner, the glow of the Nine Heart Begonia spreading outward.

Xiao Wu stood in the northeast corner, the phantom of the Soft Bone Rabbit appearing behind her.

Ning Rongrong stood in the southwest corner, the Phoenix Perches on the Parasol Tree pipa held in her arms as its strings trembled faintly.

Zhu Zhuqing stood in the northwest corner, the phantom of the Hell Spirit Cat condensing behind her.

All four had consumed immortal-grade pills, and the aura emanating from them formed a subtle resonance with the herbs surrounding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Bai Yi sat cross-legged in the air, forming hand seals.

He first used the Landscape-Shifting Technique, turning his intent into several invisible threads that extended toward the two springs below.

One by one, he stripped away the connections between the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the surrounding earth.

Then he pressed both hands downward, activating Fire Sitting and Water Entering simultaneously.

Fire Sitting gathered the surging scorching energy within the Yang Spring into a single current, turning blazing flames into a docile flow of fire.

Water Entering tamed the bone-piercing cold power within the Yin Spring, allowing that frozen energy to flow steadily back into the depths of the spring.

Under his control, the two extreme forces became completely obedient.

He raised his hand and swept it through the surrounding air.

Wind Borrowing stirred up several currents of air mixed with the fragrance of the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

The wind blew away all the miasma and poisonous mist near the springs.

Finally, he used Barrier Cloak, condensing a translucent barrier.

It wrapped upward from below around the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and several hundred zhang of land around it.

The next moment,

Bai Yi suddenly spread open his right hand, and the power of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm bloomed in full.

The land enclosed by Barrier Cloak rose into the air, then steadily entered the space within his palm.
