Blue-Scaled Snake

Zhu Yin smiled slightly, seemingly already having a solution to Song Wen's question.

"So that's what you were worried about, fellow Daoist."

She raised her hand and waved, and a small boat, over ten feet long, appeared in front of her.

"This ship should be familiar to you, fellow Daoist, shouldn't it?"

The small boat summoned by Zhu Yin was actually a Star Raft Divine Ark, but it had not yet been activated and its true form could not be revealed.

Moreover, Song Wen immediately recognized that this Star Raft Divine Ark was the very one he had thrown into the trench.

"How did this ship end up in your hands?" Song Wen asked in a deep voice.

"I have to thank you for this, Limitless Sect. If I'm not mistaken, it was you who, after killing Yun Cang, realized you couldn't refine the Star Raft Divine Ark in a short time, so you threw it into the trench. If you hadn't erased the Star Raft Divine Ark's tracking array, preventing the Boundless Sect from retrieving it, I wouldn't have been able to take it for myself."

"With this Star Raft Divine Ark, I can condense my Nascent Soul on the ship instead of staying in one place for a long time. In this way, as long as Yinshuo doesn't see it with his own eyes, he won't think that I'm in seclusion," Zhu Yin said.

The Star Raft Divine Ark that Zhu Yin originally possessed has been returned to the Limitless Sect.

Looking at the Star Raft Divine Ark in front of Zhu Yin, Song Wen felt a mixture of envy and resentment.

He had always longed for this Star Raft Divine Ark, but unexpectedly it ended up in Zhu Yin's hands.

All his previous arrangements had benefited Zhu Yin.

Perhaps sensing that Song Wen was quite interested in the Star Raft Divine Ark, Zhu Yin said.

"If you like this Star Raft Divine Ark, I can give it to you after I successfully form my Nascent Soul."

Song Wen frowned, "You're willing to do that?"

"By then, we will be dao companion, and what will a mere Star Raft Divine Ark amount to?"

"Alright, I promise you, my Infant Spirit Pill is yours." Song Wen said loudly.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yin's lips curled up, and a bright smile bloomed on her face.

Her smile was bright and cheerful, full of joy and ease.

"Extreme Yin, you will never regret your choice today."

"I hope so," Song Wen said.

Afterwards, Zhu Yin Soul Oath once she condensed her Nascent Soul, she would come to find Song Wen as soon as possible to cultivate together and help Song Wen condense his Nascent Soul.

As agreed, Song Wen handed over the Infant Spirit Pill to her.

After receiving the Infant Spirit Pill, Zhu Yin took her leave.

Zhu Yin did not reveal much about her specific plans regarding the formation of the infant.

However, Song Wen knew that she would definitely try to form a nascent soul as soon as possible, and that she didn't have much time left.

Song Wen agreed to Zhu Yin's request because he still had an Infant Spirit Pill.

He refined a total of three Infant Spirit Pills.

Even if Zhu Yin fails to form a Nascent Soul, Song Wen only reduces the chances of forming a Nascent Soul by 10%.

If Zhu Yin successfully forms her Nascent Soul, Song Wen's chance of forming his own Nascent Soul will reach 80%, matching Zhu Yin's chance.

For Song Wen, risking a 10% chance of achieving Nascent Soul status for a 40% chance was undoubtedly a worthwhile gamble.

Zhu Yin's advancement to the Nascent Soul Realm, regardless of success or failure, will not yield results in the short term.

Song Wen naturally wouldn't wait idly. He planned to use these ten-plus years to cultivate the <Undying True Corpse Transformation> and the third level of <Soul-Concentrating Spike>, while further consolidating his cultivation.

He has only been at the Core Formation stage for thirty-six years.

The vast majority of his cultivation, from the Golden Core Early Stage to the Peak Golden Core Stage, came from absorbing the cultivation of others.

Song Wen was worried that rapid growth in his cultivation level would hinder the formation of his Nascent Soul. Therefore, he took this opportunity to properly consolidate his cultivation realm.

The cultivation process of <Undying True Corpse Transformation> is extremely painful.

This is because when performing this secret technique, one must transform their physical body into a zombie form, allowing the cultivator's body to withstand the Law Treasure of cultivators of the same level.

With Song Wen's current cultivation at the Peak Golden Core Stage, once he uses this Cultivation Method, ordinary mid-grade magic Law Treasure will have difficulty harming his physical body.

If Song Wen were to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, even ordinary high-grade Law Treasure would have difficulty harming his physical body.

Perhaps due to his cultivation of the "Myriad Poisons Primordial Body" and his long-term consumption of Corpse Curse Water, Song Wen's physical body was already much stronger than that of cultivators at the same level.

With a solid foundation and years of physical training, his tolerance for pain far exceeded that of ordinary people, so Song Wen's cultivation of the <Undying True Corpse Transformation> went relatively smoothly.

In addition, cultivating the <Undying True Corpse Transformation> requires a great deal of resources.

Besides the fourth-tier spiritual material World-Fallen Lotus, a considerable amount of other spiritual materials, as well as the Essence Blood of Demon Beast or Human Race, are also required.

These spiritual materials mostly contain abundant Spiritual Qi and vitality.

Nine years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On Extreme Yin Island, a gentle sea breeze carries the salty and moist scent of the sea.

In the pavilion atop the island, Song Wen leisurely sipped his Spirit Tea.

The sea breeze swept through the pavilion, ruffling my hair and bringing a refreshing coolness.

In the nearby spirit field, An Tong was clearing weeds.

She is already showing signs of aging; she is forty-eight years old now.

Three years ago, An Yin went to great lengths to purchase a Foundation Establishment for her, but she failed to Foundation Establishment again.

Having failed to reach the Foundation Establishment twice, her path to Foundation Establishment is essentially over.

Her only thought now is to take good care of the spirit field, earn more Spirit Stone for her younger sister An Yin, and help An Yin go further and have a smoother cultivation journey.

After finishing tending to the spirit field, An Tong also came to the pavilion.

"Greetings, Senior Extreme Yin."

"No need for formalities, please sit down," Song Wen said calmly.

Having spent nearly thirty years with the two women, and with neither of them ever doing anything to harm Song Wen gradually lowered his Jie Xin against them.

Over the past nine years, Song Wen has lived a rather leisurely life. In his spare time, he would chat with the two women and occasionally give them pointers on their cultivation. The relationship between the three of them has also grown much closer.

"Thank you, senior."

An Tong didn't stand on ceremony and sat down as instructed.

"Senior, a few days ago, An Tong caught a Blue-Scaled Snake, and I plan to cook it tonight. Would you like to try some?" An Tong asked.

The Blue-Scaled Snake is a second-order sea snake with tender flesh and a rich aroma.

"Blue-Scaled Snake are a rare delicacy, so of course we have to try them," Song Wen said with great interest.

Upon hearing this, An Tong's face lit up with joy, and she immediately responded.

"This junior will do his utmost to prepare a delicious Blue-Scaled Snake for you, senior."

"Hmm!" Song Wen nodded slightly.

At this moment, An Yin's figure suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, flying towards them on her sword.

"Greetings, Senior Extreme Yin."

After landing, An Yin first bowed to Song Wen.

Then, she turned to An Tong and said, "Sister, I'm back."

An Tong asked with concern, "Was the trip to Limitless Island smooth?"

An Yin smiled and said, "Everything went smoothly."

An Tong nodded. "That's good. You stay here with Senior, I'll go cook the Blue-Scaled Snake. Senior will be dining with us tonight."

"Okay," An Yin said with a sweet smile.

"Senior, this junior will take his leave now," An Tong said to Song Wen.

Song Wen nodded slightly.
