No matter how blazing the sun, it cannot retain the fading daylight.
Although the theories Ye Tian provided were profound, they weren't lengthy.
Bi Bi Dong quickly received the recreated first half from Ye Tian.
To make it readable, presentable, and enjoyable.
Bi Bi Dong decisively made a handwritten copy of the first part as well.
Truth be told, Ye Tian's handwriting left much to be desired, clearly scribbled in haste to brush her off.
After finishing the transcription.
Bi Bi Dong sat by the window, slowly setting down her brush.
Her jade-like hand gently caressed the ancient scroll on the desk, her eyes filled with admiration.
Though these theories seemed unrelated to Soul Masters.
The shock of capturing the essence of life with just a few strokes left her intoxicated.
What they revealed.
Was a form of power distinct from that of Soul Masters!
Martial prowess.
Was never the sole measure of a person's strength.
Knowledge, etiquette, and more, each held their own power.
Before Ye Tian awakened his Martial Soul.
Bi Bi Dong's method to suppress her killing intent was reading.
Immersing herself in the sea of books allowed her to forget everything.
"Even accounting for the rare probability of mutation, it's truly brilliant."
Bi Bi Dong murmured, lost in thought:
"Could the inheritance of Martial Souls follow a similar mechanism?"
"..."
Bi Bi Dong propped her chin.
Ink stains smudged her cheek as she pondered for a long time without reaching any conclusion.
Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but glance downward with curiosity.
At the plants and flowers near the pavilion corridor.
"How did that kid discover this?"
A gentle breeze stirred, rustling her wine-red hair and fluttering the window paper.
The rustling pages emitted the scent of books.
"The Ten Great Theories," forgotten in the corner of the desk, fell in the breeze.
The faint sound wasn't enough to startle anyone.
Smack—!
The wind suddenly intensified.
The window slammed shut, making Bi Bi Dong jolt in surprise.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, her peaks swaying.
Bi Bi Dong raised her jade hand to cover her chest, gently rubbing it and letting out a soft sigh.
"Hoo—"
"Enough, I should focus on cultivation first. I must grow stronger!"
Bi Bi Dong's gentle expression turned cold and resolute.
Life in Slaughter City.
Had taught her to constantly spur herself on with hatred!
She had the motivation.
But it also dragged her deeper into the vortex of resentment.
Such a her.
Was destined to end up alone in the end.
——
Swoosh!
The pen tip scratched marks on the hourglass.
Purple light flashed as several purplish-black Pills landed in the jars on the windowsill.
"Whoo... Refreshed and invigorated!"
Swallowing the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Ye Tian's exhausted body felt as if reset to factory settings, unusually light and agile.
Setting down the ruler, he stretched his shoulders a few times.
A smile spread across Ye Tian's face.
As he gazed at the three distinctive jars on the windowsill, each labeled with a name.
His heart brimmed with anticipation.
"Need to fill them up quickly and deliver them soon..."
With these words.
Ye Tian smugly capped the three jars.
"No matter the effect~"
"As their angel investor, I'll be the greatest benefactor of their lives."
"Unrepayable, simply unrepayable~"
With a swift motion.
Ye Tian casually stored away all three jars.
A sly grin played on his lips.
The experiment to test whether Marrow Cleansing Pills could enhance Innate Soul Power—Ye Tian had been preparing for it all along.
The test subjects had long been chosen.
And.
Ye Tian was absolutely certain.
This experiment would absolutely not fail.
It wasn't that he could currently confirm the Marrow Cleansing Pill definitely had the effect of enhancing Innate Soul Power.
Rather, the test subjects were already future geniuses to begin with.
Give them the medicine and tell them it could enhance their Innate Soul Power.
After they awakened,
seeing their own exceptional Innate Soul Power, would they attribute the credit to Ye Tian?
Some might think it was an accident, a coincidence.
But when three test subjects who took the medicine simultaneously all awakened with extremely high Innate Soul Power,
who would still think it was coincidence?
Even if it truly was coincidence, they still couldn't ignore the pill's effect.
Ye Tian loved making deals where he couldn't lose.
Moreover, he had considerable confidence in the Marrow Cleansing Pill.
Bang! Bang!
The door of 'Eternal Heaven' was suddenly knocked, and Bi Bi Dong's voice sounded.
"Lunch is at the door."
"?"
The still smug Ye Tian was immediately stunned, his face showing some strangeness.
Was he really going to reverse roles and become the teacher?
Only after hearing the closing door next door did Ye Tian suddenly snap back to reality.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Bi Bi Dong didn't respond.
Ye Tian glanced at the sky outside and only then realized it was already noon.
He hadn't expected Bi Bi Dong to run this errand.
——
Both rooms were quiet.
One could say...
both master and disciple were lying low, biding their time.
Bi Bi Dong was blindly pursuing power, waiting for an opportunity to wash away her hatred with blood.
Ye Tian was planning his future investment directions.
Making preparations for possibly being unable to fight while not having to worry about personal safety.
Trapped within Spirit Hall,
great troubles might come for him in the future.
Another day's sunset.
Inside the Hall of Worship, Qian Renxue had still agreed to accompany Jin Yue'er for another visit.
She wasn't here to demand pills...
She just needed an Evil Counselor to help her devise strategies.
"Is anyone there~"
Before Wisteria Residence's door, a voice as faint as a mosquito's drifted uncertainly.
Jin Yue'er pressed her face against the wooden door.
Calling out softly, both gentle and timid.
"Ye Tian~"
"Ye Tian, are you in there? Holy Maiden, can Yue'er come in~"
"..."
Qian Renxue stood below the steps outside the door,
her face full of strangeness.
No matter how she craned her neck forward, she couldn't hear what the Jin Yue'er before her was saying.
Couldn't even hear her voice.
She only saw Jin Yue'er press her face against the door, rubbing against the wood.
Then she turned back.
"Sister Xue, it seems like neither Ye Tian nor the Holy Maiden are inside..."
Jin Yue'er said to Qian Renxue with complete seriousness.
"..."
Qian Renxue twitched the corner of her mouth.
Covering her face, she couldn't help waving her hand and scolding:
"Yue'er!"
"Can you stop being so perfunctory?"
"Can't you speak louder? Wasn't it you who said you wanted to come play with Ye Tian?!"
Jin Yue'er nodded repeatedly like a quail.
"Yes, yes,"
"I do want to find Ye Tian, but the Holy Maiden is too scary..."
Jin Yue'er's mind was sharp.
She came here to get medicine to save her life, not to come die here.
She knew what was important and what wasn't!
Qian Renxue gritted her silver teeth, hardened her heart, and took out a porcelain bottle.
"Call out! Call louder!"
"If you call to my satisfaction, I'll give you all the rest!"
"Ah—!"
"I'll call, I'll call! Ye Tian—"
When Jin Yue'er saw the remaining eight Marrow Cleansing Pills, her eyes immediately lit up.
Without thinking, she raised her voice—
"Ye Tian—!"
The clear voice echoed within Wisteria Residence.
Ye Tian was currently sitting cross-legged before the Pill Furnace.
Immersed in cultivation within the dual internal and external simulated environments.
Hearing that voice.
His shoulders trembled slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Where does that girl get such strong lungs?"
Ye Tian murmured.
He slowly rose to his feet, wearing the brand new Taoist Robe, and quickly ran outside.
In the master bedroom.
Bi Bi Dong, reclining on the soft couch, felt her mind disturbed, an unpleasant expression instantly appearing on her face.
Before she could vent her irritation.
Ye Tian's voice sounded from outside.
"Teacher, I'm going out to check, and I'll prepare dinner while I'm at it!"
As his words faded.
Bi Bi Dong restrained herself once more.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian dashed outside and pulled open the Rosewood Door.
Greeting him.
Was another clear yet slightly hoarse cry.
"Ye Tian—!"
"Please stop shouting, you'll rupture your vocal cords."
Ye Tian covered his ears as he responded.
"Ye Tian!"
Jin Yue'er looked delightedly at the young Taoist before her, then froze.
"You're Ye Tian?!"
"Who else? The genuine article."
Ye Tian shot an annoyed glance at Jin Yue'er and flicked his wide sleeves.
Maintaining that aura of transcendent elegance.
"Ye Tian?"
Qian Renxue was also taken aback.
She gazed with some surprise at Ye Tian's outfit—it actually looked quite good!
"Haha!"
"Good that it's really you!"
Jin Yue'er suddenly burst into laughter that left Ye Tian baffled.
She bounced over to Qian Renxue.
Extended her small hand.
"Sister Xue, Ye Tian's out! I called him out!"
"Here."
Qian Renxue caressed the porcelain bottle reluctantly before placing it in Jin Yue'er's hand.
"Haha... gurgle gurgle~"
Without a second thought, Jin Yue'er began swallowing the contents hastily, making strange noises.
"Ah~ Taking pills feels so good"
"...??!"
Ye Tian tilted his head—why did that sound so wrong?
Could this pill be addictive?
That shouldn't be right!
