"A Soul Cultivation Technique?"
Hua Yaoyue repeated the words.
"Exactly."
Ji Yuan nodded.
Hua Yaoyue asked no more. Instead, she sent her Divine Sense into the Jade Slip in Ji Yuan's hand. Only after a while did she come back to herself, shock still lingering in her eyes.
Admittedly, she had been skeptical at first.
Even as she sent out her Divine Sense, she still thought Ji Yuan might have made a mistake and taken some other technique for a Soul Cultivation Technique. But once she learned what the "Nine-Gate Soul-Calming Scripture" contained, she was finally certain.
The technique Ji Yuan had given her was a genuine Soul Cultivation Technique!
Hua Yaoyue drew a deep breath and raised a hand to activate Carefree Island's Formation. Only after her Divine Sense had enveloped the entire island did she ask, "You created this yourself?"
"No. This disciple obtained it by chance on this trip. Unfortunately, it only contains the first half. It's incomplete."
"Even so, it's excellent."
Hua Yaoyue praised him.
Ji Yuan stepped back and cupped his hands slightly. "I'm glad I could help you, Master."
"Help me? Hardly anyone on the entire Cangluo Continent knows a Soul Cultivation Technique." Once Hua Yaoyue recovered from her shock, she resumed her breezy composure.
"Do you know why Soul Cultivation Techniques are so rare?"
"This disciple does not."
"Because the Divine Soul isn't like the body. If your body is injured, a little care will heal it. But once the Divine Soul is injured, you can forget about recovering. Even the slightest touch to it brings pain, let alone using your own Divine Soul to try to create a technique."
Ji Yuan understood. "I see."
"Mm. I just looked through your 'Nine-Gate Soul-Calming Scripture.' You've already learned it, haven't you?" Hua Yaoyue asked.
