Chapter 389 Brother and Sister Reunion 2
Yunxi hadn't expected Zong Hao to be so firm, so she smiled and said:

"Okay, I'll take it. Don't be so serious."

He opened the box, and inside lay a doll about the size of an adult's palm. The doll was carved from a type of wood, but it had no facial features, which looked rather strange.

Zong Hao, watching Yun Xi playing with the substitute doll, explained:
"This kind of substitute doll is a one-time defensive magic item made by a puppeteer. The doll's face will only appear after you sign your blood bond with it."

After the doll's face appears, you need to extract a wisp of its soul and place it into the doll's body so that the substitute doll can be indistinguishable from the real thing, thus deceiving the enemy.

Yunxi nodded, used her spiritual power to prick her middle finger, and dripped a drop of blood onto the substitute doll. The blood was quickly absorbed, and then the doll's face slowly appeared. It was a miniature version of Wei Yunxi, with her eyebrows, eyes, and dimples exactly the same as her.

Yunxi also sensed the connection with the puppet. She then raised her hand and pulled out a wisp of soul thread from between her eyebrows. After severing it with her spiritual power, she flicked the wisp of soul thread into the puppet's body.

The next moment, she felt as if she were looking at herself and Zong Hao from the perspective of a doll, which felt very magical.

The doll sat up on its own, stretched its stiff arms and legs, and then looked at Yunxi.

Yunxi waved her sleeve and put the doll into her storage bracelet, so that the substitute doll could play a role immediately in case of emergencies.

Zong Hao smiled after seeing Yun Xi finish doing all that.

"Zong Hao, tell me about your experiences over the past few years."

"Alright! Back then, in order to avoid Wei Yunqing, and also to break through my cultivation bottleneck, I casually accepted a mission and left the sect."

Wei Zonghao calmly recounted his experiences over the years since he and his sister separated.

"I received a message from Zong Yu midway through, saying that you were seriously injured, so I hurriedly returned to the sect. You were in seclusion, and Wei Yunqing was also in seclusion. I heard that she benefited from the misfortune and her cultivation advanced to the late Golden Core stage."

"After confirming that you were alright, Zong Yu and I went out on a training trip together. Our main goal was to find some rare and precious herbs to nourish your body. So we went to the Baohua Mountains, which has become a popular place for cultivators to explore and scavenge after the incident in the new secret realm."

"Zong Yu and I actually discovered an ancient cave in the Baohua Mountains. It was the cave of the puppeteer who made this substitute doll. However, since our cultivation levels were both in the late Foundation Establishment stage at the time, it wasn't enough for us to force our way into the cave."

We exchanged the spoils from our trip to Baohua Mountain for resources to advance our cultivation levels. We returned to our sect to cultivate in seclusion and attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage. I successfully formed my Golden Core first, and we planned to explore this ancient cave together after Zong Yu broke through.

However, he failed to comprehend the sword intent and was still some distance from forming his core, so he sent a message asking me to explore with others. I then arranged to go to the puppeteer's cave with Zong Jin and Senior Brother Song Ke.”

Zong Hao's throat was parched from talking so much. He had just finished recounting his experiences over the past few years when Yun Xi immediately pushed a cup of spiritual tea towards him to moisten his throat, and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect you to still have contact with Song Ke."

"Yes, you remember Senior Brother Song, right? He was in charge of our entrance exam. I heard that he had some good fortune in the secret realm of Baohua Mountain and his cultivation had advanced to the peak of the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. He was just one step away from advancing to the late-stage of the Golden Core realm, so I invited him to explore the puppeteer's cave together."

He was lucky enough to inherit the puppeteer's legacy, while I received the resources left behind by that puppeteer. It was a win-win situation. After returning to the sect, he went into seclusion. I estimate that he should be able to advance to the later stage smoothly this time.

After hearing this, Yunxi said with some regret:

"If only you could obtain that inheritance."

Zong Hao waved his hand and said:
"I only want to improve my alchemy skills. I can't bite off more than I can chew. Besides, I'm not interested in making puppets, so I didn't compete with Senior Brother Song."

Besides, I didn't lose out. While Senior Brother Song was receiving the inheritance, I looted all the useful resources in the cave, enough for me to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage.

Zong Hao had a good attitude and was quite content. Yun Xi was sure that he really thought that way, so she changed the subject and told him about the incident that happened to the Wei family in Kunyu City.

After listening, Zong Hao's face also turned grave, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"No wonder my right eyelid kept twitching when I returned to the sect a few days ago. It turns out it was because of you. These evil cultivators are truly despicable!"

"I'm telling you this to remind you not to fall into the trap of evil cultivation. Be careful when you team up with others for training. If you cooperate with unfamiliar cultivators, don't reveal your identity as a member of the Wei family, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

"I've noted it down. I plan to go into seclusion for a while after I return to organize my gains from the experience, and then prepare to participate in the Five Domains Grand Competition."

Zong Hao already has a plan.

“Zong Hao, based on the recent actions of the evil cultivators, I feel that the Five Regions Grand Competition will not be peaceful. If you are not prepared, you can choose not to participate for the time being. I have already discussed this matter with the family.”

Zong Hao listened to advice, and after thinking for a moment, he said:
"If I can raise my cultivation to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm before the competition, I will participate in the Five Domains Grand Competition. If not, I will participate in the next competition."

"So good."

The two chatted until sunset and moonrise before Zong Hao reluctantly went to see his parents.

The next day, he came to Yunxi's courtyard again. This time, the two exchanged their alchemy tips. Yunxi's cultivation level had improved, and with the strange fire by her side, her success rate in making pills was getting higher and higher. She could indeed give Zonghao some pointers, which benefited Zonghao greatly. However, the way he stared at the strange fire was too intense, which even Ziyan couldn't stand. After the pills were made, they automatically returned to Yunxi's dantian, which made Yunxi smile and her eyes crinkle.

Just then, a sound transmission talisman flew to Yun Xi. Yun Xi scanned it with her divine sense, then smiled and turned to Zong Hao, saying:

"Grandma Chenyin has successfully condensed her Nascent Soul and is now a Nascent Soul True Monarch!"

"Really? That would be great."

Zong Hao couldn't stop smiling.

Yunxi felt that this good news came at the right time and could greatly boost the morale of the Wei family.

“Let’s go see the head of the family and tell him this good news.”

The two then went to see Wei Lingtao together.

Upon hearing this news, Wei Lingtao was overjoyed. He knew that having one Nascent Soul True Monarch supporting the clan was completely different from having two. He immediately smiled and said:

“Then I will instruct the clan to make preparations to welcome Ancestor Chenyin back.”

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"Patriarch, please make preparations first. I will return to the sect to check on the situation of Ancestor Chenyin. I will contact you again later."

"Alright, you and Zong Hao can go together. You can tell Ancestor Chenyin about the recent situation of the family. There's no need to hide anything; tell the Ancestor everything, good or bad."

Wei Lingtao gave instructions.

The two nodded in agreement and returned to their sect together.

Just as Yunxi landed her escape light in front of the sect, a communication talisman flew to her. She scanned it with her divine sense and found that it was Yu Ling sending her back, saying that Xiao He had arrived in the Western Regions and was investigating the news of his sister's "murder" outside the Su family.

See you tomorrow~
