Building a sect from scratch.

Baili Shuang rolled her eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about! I promised to help you find the fragments to repair your body before you agreed to work for me. We each get what we want, okay!"

Since Jun Chou started browsing the Blue Star's network frequently through the cross-border "Internet cable," he has become much more relaxed when talking to Fang Xianyu, which has also allowed Fang Xianyu to rediscover some of the feelings he had when he was still a Blue Star citizen.

Jun Chou had no choice but to reply, "Alright, alright, let each of us take what we need."

No sooner had Jun Chou finished speaking than Baili Shuang suddenly stopped.

She held a fragment of the Douxuan Treasure Mirror in her hand, facing a house with a solemn and serious expression.

"it's here!"

As soon as Baili Shuang uttered those three words, the door of the house was flung open by a gust of wind, and then a beautiful young woman flew out of the house.

The woman's cultivation level was probably just at the Nascent Soul stage. She was dressed in luxurious clothes, and judging from her attire, she should be a manager or elder of the Misty Immortal Sect.

"It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes. It takes no effort at all!"

The woman's expression was pained, but her tone was extremely unrestrained. The voice was not her own, nor did it come from her mouth; rather, it was transmitted through spiritual power: "I was just looking for this Mysterious Treasure Mirror, and you've delivered yourself to my doorstep! Tell me, how should I reward you?"

Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice and familiar tone, Baili Shuang's expression hardened, and she slowly uttered four words: "Piaomiao Golden Immortal".

"Yes, it's me, good girl. You do have some courage. You don't think that just because you came here as a puppet, you don't need to be afraid of me, do you?"

The ethereal Golden Immortal sneered, and as he spoke, he released an extremely terrifying pressure. He then waved his hand and summoned a colorful ray of light, which transformed into a sharp blade and flew towards Baili Shuang.

Baili Shuang examined the radiant blades for a moment—they looked terrifying, but were actually not that bad, probably because the ethereal Golden Immortal was now just a remnant soul, and his strength had been greatly reduced.

If she were at her peak, Baili Shuang, disguised as a Nascent Soul cultivator, probably wouldn't even have had a chance to exchange more than a few words with her!
Thinking of this, she quickly used the system's energy points to dispel its pressure, retreated rapidly, gathered her spiritual energy into a shield, swallowed all the flying blades of light, and reflected them back.

The ethereal Golden Immortal was surprised that Baili Shuang, with her cultivation level, could actually catch the flying blade of radiant light and even control it to reflect back. She exclaimed "Eh!" and said in surprise, "You do have some skill. No wonder you dared to come here by yourself!"

She said this, but her hands were still casting spells. First, she flicked her sleeve to put the reflected light blade into her sleeve, and then she summoned a thick fog so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. She used the fog to form an array, trying to trap Baili Shuang.

However, Baili Shuang didn't want to engage in a back-and-forth battle with her—each time she went back and forth, she would waste the system energy points that she had painstakingly harvested from the "leeks" (victims)!

So, she decisively began to draw system energy points and compress spiritual power. When she felt she had enough, she aimed precisely at the ethereal Golden Immortal who thought he was safe and sound and was watching the show from outside the fog array.

Baili Shuang felt a rare sense of pride—who would have thought! I have a system acting as a special locator! I'm not afraid of mazes at all!
However, the Misty Golden Immortal was still a Golden Immortal. Even though he only had a remnant soul that could reside in another's body, he was still incredibly powerful. As soon as Baili Shuang emitted that spiritual light, the Misty Golden Immortal's spiritual senses were greatly activated, and he became vigilant. Upon seeing that spiritual light, he made a decisive move, quickly breaking free from the body of the unknown elder of the Misty Immortal Sect that he was residing in, and leaped into the air.

Subsequently, Baili Shuang used the system's energy points to repeatedly recall the moment when the ethereal Golden Immortal leaped up, trapping the ethereal Golden Immortal high in the sky.

This move was completely unexpected by the ethereal Golden Immortal. She was shocked and felt that no matter how hard she tried to escape, she could always return to the moment when she had just escaped from that body that did not belong to her. It was utterly absurd!
A wave of immense panic washed over her in an instant. In desperation, she abandoned her attempt to escape by flying. Instead, she turned and gritted her teeth, casting her spell again, stirring the surrounding spiritual energy into a "spiritual energy tornado" and pushing it towards Baili Shuang. Baili Shuang, watching her rapidly declining points, held her breath in anguish. Just as the Misty Golden Immortal condensed the "spiritual energy tornado," she finally managed to control the precious spiritual light—a light she could no longer afford to unleash a second time—and flew upwards, barely a foot away from the unknown Misty Immortal Sect elder, piercing through the remnant soul of the Misty Golden Immortal.

In an instant, the thick fog dissipated, but the "spiritual tornado" rushed in, about to engulf Baili Shuang in the blink of an eye.

At the critical moment, Baili Shuang assessed the threat of the "spiritual energy tornado" and decided not to spend any more points, instead relying on herself to withstand it.

"puff--"

He spat out a mouthful of blood. After all, it was an attack from a Golden Immortal. Even if it was a Golden Immortal with greatly reduced cultivation and on the verge of death, it was still a Golden Immortal. This attack shattered the Golden Core of the Golden Immortal who had already cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage!

Despite the pain, Baili Shuang breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, even if my golden core is shattered, rebuilding it is better than wasting system energy points!"

Although she had witnessed firsthand how she struck the remnant soul of the Ethereal Golden Immortal, and how the soul instantly dissipated, Baili Shuang, just to be on the safe side, still took out a fragment of the Mysterious Mirror and asked:
"Piaomiao, a Golden Immortal, is there still a chance for resurrection?"

Due to severe abdominal pain and broken bones, Baili Shuang could only gasp for breath and ask questions intermittently.

After asking, she added, "The protagonist of the new book by the big-eyed girl is named Yu Sheng!"

Before she could finish speaking, the fragment of the Douxuan Treasure Mirror flashed red light, seemingly trying to absorb her soul!
"Well, I've been chasing this for the past few days, so, um... it probably doesn't count..."

Jun Chou suddenly materialized and spoke somewhat guiltily.

Baili Shuang was shocked and quickly added, "Dog Timei's new Musou skin is called 'Snowy Adventure'!"

This time, the Mysterious Mirror did not emit any strange light; instead, it displayed a scene in a proper manner:
A little girl dressed in gorgeous clothes was skipping and jumping around in the garden chasing butterflies. The surrounding scenery looked very magnificent, like a family of immortal cultivators.

Baili Shuang wanted nothing more than to curse him.

How can this ethereal Golden Immortal Flower have so many tricks up her sleeve! She damaged her puppet body but she's still not completely dead!

Perhaps because he had almost caused Baili Shuang to lose her soul, Jun Chou saw the scene and took the initiative to "translate" it: "I recognize this woman. She is the ninety-third daughter of Immortal Lord Liquan. It must be that the remnant soul of the Misty Golden Immortal is hiding in her, otherwise she would not have been so dazed and disheveled just now."

Good guy!
Baili Shuang couldn't help but ask, "Just how many children has Immortal Lord Liquan had?!"

Jun Chou replied, "There must be at least a hundred!"

He paused, then gave a specific number: "Including those who died young, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-one!"
