Yu Chen gave a wry smile and said, half in jest and half in earnest, "That really won't work! I can only make this stuff once in a while. If we really go by that standard, I won't be able to bear it."
"Then split it fifty-fifty. Half according to that standard—how about it?" Hu the Great Immortal Aunt looked at Yu Chen, a trace of cunning showing in her eyes.
"Sure!" Yu Chen's answer surprised Hu the Great Immortal Aunt somewhat, but his next sentence made her frown tightly.
"As long as you're willing to answer one question for me, not only will this batch follow that standard, all future batches will as well. How about it?"
"What do you want to know?"
"Have you ever tried to bring your Yin Spirit down here? What happened?"
Upon hearing this, Hu the Great Immortal Aunt smiled and said casually, "There's no harm in telling you that, but a fifty-fifty split would leave me at too great a loss! It would have to be at least ninety percent..."
"Then forget it!" Yu Chen smiled and returned to where he lived, beginning once more to refine his cultivation method.
With Jin Guang, Yan Chixia, and Hu the Great Immortal Aunt's help, the foundation of Yu Chen's cultivation, the Orthodox Three-Mountains Talisman Qi Formula, had been improved somewhat further. The qi-refining portion in particular had finally caught up with the talisman arts.
Coupled with a spiritual sensitivity that fundamentally did not belong to the Human Immortal Realm, Yu Chen could still breathe and refine qi normally even while staying with the Dong Family.
In the distance, Hu the Great Immortal Aunt gazed in the direction of Yu Chen's residence, a faint trace of envy rising in her eyes.
The world was filled everywhere
