As Ye Chuan spoke, he raised his hand. Each wisp of essence was like a tiny star, radiating a soft and pure energy that instantly filled the entire room.
Lilith had originally been a bit exasperated with Ye Chuan, but the moment she saw those essences, her eyes lit up and she leaned forward.
"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you, bringing back some good stuff for yours truly."
She reached out a finger and gave a light tap. The essences immediately converged toward her palm in unison, condensing into a dazzling ball of light. The glow grew brighter and brighter, almost illuminating the whole room.
Soon, all the essences were completely absorbed by Lilith. She slowly opened her eyes. The aura around her had become more condensed and profound than before, giving her whole being a bit more agility and life.
"Not bad. The purity of these essences is quite high, barely enough to keep me satisfied for a while." Lilith stretched her back, a hint of contentment in her tone, looking as lazy as a Persian cat.
Seeing that she had finished absorbing them, Ye Chuan climbed onto Lilith's bed, grabbed her shoulders, and began to massage them.
"Since you've accepted the essences, let me ask you something. Is there any handy teleportation magic that can carry people?"
Lilith's figure was so petite that when Ye Chuan massaged her shoulders, they felt incredibly slender and soft.
Lilith casually replied, "No."
The word was crisp and decisive, leaving absolutely no room for negotiation.
"No?" Ye Chuan asked. "My almighty grand-aunt Lilith, how could you not even have such a common spell?"
"I said no, so there's no. The best method for that has always been a teleportation array." Lilith sat cross-legged, her arms folded across her chest.
"If you really want to move people quickly, you can set up a teleportation array."
"A teleportation array?" Ye Chuan naturally knew about teleportation arrays, but the problem was that he didn't know how to make one. "How do I do that? Is it easy?"
"It can achieve rapid long-distance teleportation, and bringing people along is absolutely no problem. It's just too troublesome." Lilith waved her hand.
"Drawing a teleportation array requires a massive amount of materials, and you have to precisely control the array's runic lines. The slightest mistake will lead to failure. I don't think there's any need for you to learn it."
Ye Chuan asked, "That troublesome? Then is there any other way?"
Lilith glanced at him, looking somewhat helpless. "I've told you before, if you completely master Origin Magic, you will possess the power of Spirit Speech."
"When that time comes, whether it's teleportation magic or any other random spell, you'll be able to create it out of thin air using just your imagination and spiritual energy. A mere teleportation spell to carry people wouldn't even be worth mentioning. Would you still need to beg me?"
Origin Magic.
"But when will I be able to fully comprehend the origins of magic?" Ye Chuan stroked his chin.
It felt quite difficult, but at least it was a viable method.
"Hmph, you have such a good thing on you, yet you don't know how to cherish it." Lilith reached out her little fist and lightly punched Ye Chuan's thigh, though it felt more like she was acting spoiled.
"I need to refine the essences now. You can leave."
Ye Chuan shrugged, turned around, and left Lilith's room.
Returning to the living room, Lan Xiaoke was still lying on the sofa, motionless like a puddle of mud. She occasionally let out a few indistinct mumbles. It seemed she hadn't recovered yet.
"Ye Chuan, woo, I wanna drink water."
"Here."
...
The night grew a bit deeper.
A faint white light flickered from a nearby door, and a slender figure slowly walked out of the room. It was Bai Qianshuang, who had just returned from the Tianxuan Continent.
She was dressed in a moon-white fairy dress, her jet-black hair reaching her waist and cascading smoothly over her shoulders. Her skin was as white as snow, and her features were as cold and picturesque as a painting. She looked like a fairy descended from the highest heavens to the mortal realm, untainted by a single speck of dust.
"Qianshuang, you're back." Luo Xi walked out of the kitchen, still wearing an apron.
Bai Qianshuang nodded gently. "I'm hungry."
"Then let's eat early."
"Okay."
Before long, Luo Xi brought all the prepared dishes to the dining table. A table full of home-cooked food, fragrant and steaming hot, instantly dispelled the chill of the night and filled the entire house with a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Luo Xi also noticed Lan Xiaoke sprawled on the sofa, trembling slightly like a blob of jelly. "Xiaoke hasn't recovered yet?"
"Looks like it," Ye Chuan said, giving Lan Xiaoke a slap that produced a crisp smack.
"So annoying, can't I just lie down for a bit?" Lan Xiaoke groggily crawled up, but upon smelling the aroma of the food, she instantly sobered up for the most part. Rubbing her eyes, she slowly walked over to the dining table and sat down.
Afterward, Ye Chuan didn't forget to call Lilith, Ke Ning, and the others out to eat. The seats gradually filled up.
After eating for a while, Ye Chuan seemed to notice something. His gaze fell on Bai Qianshuang. "Qianshuang, do you not have an appetite?"
"..."
"How are things over at the sect?"
Hearing this, Bai Qianshuang's hands, which were holding the inner pot of the rice cooker, paused slightly. The expression on her face gradually turned solemn, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes. She fell silent for a moment before speaking with a hint of helplessness:
"Recently, the sect has run into some trouble."
"Oh? What kind of trouble?" Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow. He knew Bai Qianshuang's strength. Although her sect had just been restored, with her power, there shouldn't be any major problems.
Bai Qianshuang said, "We've been targeted by a Sacred Land from the Beihua Shenzhou. They covet a heritage treasure of our sect. Lately, they've been frequently sending people to provoke us, even threatening that if we don't hand over the treasure, they will trample our sect to the ground."
"Our sect's strength isn't weak, but compared to a Sacred Land, there's still a massive gap. After several confrontations, our sect has lost quite a few disciples. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't last much longer. I came back this time to ask if you have any solutions."
After finishing, Bai Qianshuang looked up at Ye Chuan. She knew that Ye Chuan was incredibly strong; perhaps only he could help her sect resolve this crisis.
Hearing this, the smile on Luo Xi's face vanished, and her expression turned serious. She looked at Bai Qianshuang, her tone full of concern:
"Such a thing actually happened? That Sacred Land is going too far. How can they be so tyrannical?"
Lan Xiaoke also stopped eating and looked up. Although she didn't really understand what a Sacred Land or a sect was, she could tell that Bai Qianshuang was in a difficult position. Wrinkling her small face, she whispered:
"Qianshuang, don't worry. Ye Chuan is really strong. He can definitely help you!"
"Otherwise, I can go over and help you too."
Even though Lan Xiaoke had no idea how to get to the Tianxuan Continent.
Ye Chuan looked at the expression in Bai Qianshuang's eyes, then at Luo Xi and Lan Xiaoke, who were full of concern beside him. The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile.
"It's no big deal. I'll accompany you back to the Tianxuan Continent."
A mere Sacred Land.
