It was a bit late when Luo Xi arrived.
The girl was dressed in simple long-sleeved cotton pajamas, shuffling in slippers, her plump toes slightly curled as she stood by the door with a smile. "Chuan, I'm here."
At the moment, Ye Chuan wasn’t in the living room. Instead, Bai Qianshuang sat on the sofa, seemingly occupied with something. After closing the door, Luo Xi noticed Qianshuang carefully polishing the blade of her weapon with a soft cloth.
"Miss Bai, what are you doing? Maintaining your weapon?" Luo Xi asked curiously. It wasn’t the first time she’d seen Bai Qianshuang polishing her sword—despite the weapon being almost unused and spotless.
"Mm." Bai Qianshuang nodded lightly. She was also dressed in white cotton pajamas, her head lowered as she focused on the task. Her lashes fluttered occasionally, and the beauty mark beneath her lower eyelid added to her charm.
Luo Xi clasped her hands behind her back and leaned in slightly to watch. The two pajama-clad girls huddled together made for a picturesque scene—especially since Luo Xi’s beauty now rivaled Bai Qianshuang’s after her spiritual refinement.
Bai Qianshuang polished the weapon in silence, meticulously shining even the cleanest spots. The sword trembled faintly, its nascent sentience emitting a soft glow.
She wasn’t cleaning it out of necessity—it was a ritual to remind herself of the vengeance she carried. This sword had been a gift from her master. Gripping it, she remembered the weight of her duty.
Revenge. Rebuilding the Jade Void.
But just then, she felt a warm hand rest on her shoulder.
"Miss Bai, don’t push yourself too hard."
Bai Qianshuang froze.
"I might not understand what’s going on, but you seem really tense. That can’t be good in the long run," Luo Xi said sweetly.
"Oh, where’s Chuan?"
"In his room," Bai Qianshuang replied after a brief pause. "It’s late. Do you need him for something?"
"He called me over. Said he had a ‘big treasure’ to show me." Luo Xi shrugged and straightened up. "I’ll head in now~"
Bai Qianshuang nodded lightly, watching Luo Xi’s retreating figure before returning to her task.

Inside the room, Ye Chuan was fiddling with his phone, planning to upgrade the herb garden. Now that he was printing money through alchemy, wealth had become just a string of numbers—easy to earn back.
[Level 9 Herb Garden: A mystical realm brimming with spiritual energy, capable of cultivating high-grade immortal herbs—some even developing sentience.]
He tapped confirm.
On the screen, the garden transformed. Mist-like spiritual energy swirled through it. Though it couldn’t compare to the Qingyun Sect’s herb garden, Ye Chuan was satisfied.
After purchasing and planting various immortal herb seeds, he tapped to water them. Now, all that remained was waiting for them to mature.
Remembering the "stealing" feature, Ye Chuan checked the Qingyun Sect’s garden. They had replanted their seeds, some already sprouting. He checked each one’s growth time and noticed a discrepancy.
In his garden, herbs matured in days.
But the Qingyun Sect’s garden measured growth in years.
For example, the most common Tiger Strength Grass took seven days in his garden—but a full year in the Qingyun Sect’s.
At this rate, when would he ever get to steal anything?
Just then, he accidentally tapped one of the herbs—and it was immediately uprooted.
[Item: Grade 1 Immortal Herb (Sapling)]
Huh?
Could he steal seedlings too?
Ye Chuan grinned and proceeded to pluck every sapling from the Qingyun Sect’s garden, transplanting them all into his own.
"Much better." Seeing the Qingyun Sect’s garden barren once more, he exited the interface with satisfaction.
Next, he needed to snag the Qingyun Sect’s alchemy recipes. After all, Ye Chuan had the herbs but no formulas.
It was like having a skilled cook but no ingredients.
Considering his future mass-production plans, he spent another 60 million to upgrade the Nine-Fire Liyan Furnace.
[Furnace: Tianyuan Furnace (Supreme Grade 5)]
[Special Effect: +5% chance to elevate pill quality]
Not bad—a furnace that boosted refinement quality.
"With this, I can market the pills as ‘limited-edition premium batches’ and sell them for ten times the price," Ye Chuan mused with a smirk—until a knock pulled him from his thoughts.
The door opened, revealing Luo Xi’s lovely face. "Chuan, what are you up to?"
"Just playing a game—stealing some crops."
"Stealing crops? Wasn’t that a trend years ago?" Luo Xi tilted her head.
"Yeah, something like that."
She sat on the edge of the bed, studying him with bright eyes before planting a kiss on his lips. "So, why’d you call me over?"
"Guess what the ‘big treasure’ is?"
"Something I’ve… tasted before?" Luo Xi blushed slightly.
"Nope." Ye Chuan coughed lightly before producing the Supreme Ice Spirit Root.
It hovered silently, radiating a chilling aura.
"What’s this?" Luo Xi had expected something else, but the ice spirit root piqued her curiosity.
Ye Chuan briefly explained spirit roots and physiques—simple concepts that Luo Xi grasped quickly.
"So, to cultivate immortality, a good spirit root and physique are essential?"
"Exactly."
"Got it. I’ll follow your lead, Chuan." Luo Xi wanted to stay by his side for a long time. Learning that Ye Chuan would live for centuries, she decided to walk this path too.
Her ambitions were modest—just a peaceful life with her loved ones healthy and happy.
Once she was ready, Ye Chuan began the spirit root transplant.
Thanks to the System’s plug-and-play design, replacing spirit roots was effortless—barely more complicated than tapping a phone screen.
As the Supreme Ice Spirit Root merged into Luo Xi’s body, a plain blue spirit root emerged.
[Item: Low-Grade Water Spirit Root]
So Luo Xi had a single-attribute spirit root all along?
If she’d lived on the Tianxuan Continent, she could’ve walked this path naturally.
With the Supreme Ice Spirit Root now part of her, ambient spiritual energy surged into her body. Soon, Ye Chuan noticed faint blue veins glowing beneath her skin.
In no time, Luo Xi reached the mid-stage of Qi Refinement—without a single side effect.
"Chuan…" Luo Xi opened her eyes, her irises now a shimmering ice-blue.
Ye Chuan reached out to touch her cheek. Thankfully, she was still warm.
"How does it feel?" Since Ye Chuan hadn't yet equipped Luo Xi with the physique, he inquired about the state of the upper spiritual root.
