The transmigrated villain wants to escape Feng Aotian's hellish situation.

Only then did he notice that Mi Hua was still dozing on his shoulder, and a faint spiritual energy was wrapped around her feet.

That's why she didn't fall down despite the big movement just now.

Qin Yangjun was helpless.

I couldn't help but recall Mika's personality from the book.

In the book, Mi Hua has a strong possessive desire for Yu Lingyue, and Yu Lingyue also dotes on her.

This led to Mika's somewhat unpleasant personality.

Later on, she even joined in vying for the emperor's favor, causing Yu Lingyue a great deal of trouble.

However, things were different when it came to Qin Yangjun.

I was very assertive with her and didn't indulge her.

So now her personality is starting to lean towards Ling'er's, and she's very obedient to her.

Perhaps because she was born prematurely, she wasn't as quick-witted as in the book; she was quite oblivious and couldn't compare to the meticulous Ling'er.

Looking at Mi Hua, who was still fast asleep with her head down, Qin Yangjun suddenly sensed something was amiss.

She was still sleeping after all that commotion?

Thinking of this, Qin Yangjun nudged Mi Hua, but she kept her head down and didn't react at all.

Qin Yangjun frowned slightly, and a wisp of spiritual energy appeared in his hand. After the spiritual energy probed in, Qin Yangjun's expression gradually became solemn.

In the book, Mihua's incomplete hatching led to fragmented memories and even the forgetting of some of her inheritance.

The situation is even worse now; not only was the incubation interrupted midway, but the baby was also born prematurely.

Blackrock City had just experienced another battle that nearly depleted its spiritual energy.

So she is currently in a deep sleep.

Fortunately, it is a mythical beast after all, so it is durable and should wake up tomorrow.

But no matter what, with the contract in place, Mi Hua is now one of his own, and he can't just abandon her, so Qin Yangjun still transferred some spiritual power to her.

Moreover, now that Mihua is one of our own, we need to find a way to solve her problems.

However, one must eat one bite at a time; there's no rush.

After transferring his spiritual energy to Mi Hua, Qin Yangjun placed her aside and sat on the grass, gazing up at the starry sky.

The sky was dotted with stars, and the city lights in the distance were dim. Qin Yangjun took a breath. Sometimes, being alone is not so bad.

"The scenery is beautiful."

However, Qin Yangjun had not been quiet for long when a familiar voice suddenly rang out beside him.

Turning his head, he saw that Yu Lingyue had appeared beside Qin Yangjun at some point, keeping him company as they looked at the starry sky.

What happened... I didn't even notice her coming over.

As if she could see through Qin Yangjun's thoughts, Yu Lingyue smiled.

"The seventh-level steps, the ethereal steps, are hidden very deep and guarded by blood corpses. If Senior Sister Yue hadn't slaughtered those blood corpses, I wouldn't have had the chance to obtain them. It's a pity they're inheritance crystals, otherwise I could have shown them to my senior brother."

Ethereal Steps?

This thing wasn't in the original story. I never thought that Yueyao could trigger such a butterfly effect just by following the past.

Besides this, is there anything else that I don't know?

"Besides the Ethereal Steps, what else did you obtain?"

Hearing Qin Yangjun's question, Yu Lingyue did not hide anything. With one hand, she grabbed a blood-red spear that suddenly appeared in her hand.

The moment the spear appeared, the Golden Crow Banner in Qin Yangjun's dantian seemed to sense something and trembled.

The Golden Crow Banner's reaction caused a look of shock to appear in Qin Yangjun's eyes.

A celestial artifact?!

Yu Lingyue looked at the spear in her hand and said to herself:

"Besides the Ethereal Step, we also obtained a purple egg and a mirror. The egg is currently with Senior Sister Hua, while the mirror is with Senior Sister Yue."

"And this spear was discovered very early. When I found it, the other forces hadn't yet come after us. I found it in an inconspicuous corner."

As she spoke, Yu Lingyue weighed the spear in her hand.

"This spear has the words 'Soul Suppressor' on its shaft and seems to weigh a ton. Neither Senior Sister Yue nor Senior Sister Hua could lift it, but for some reason, it felt exceptionally light in my hands and was very easy to use."

As she spoke, Yu Lingyue even twirled her spear.

Qin Yangjun stared at the Soul-Suppressing Sword in Yu Lingyue's hand, unsure of what to say. His feelings were extremely complicated.

Qin Yangjun knew that the egg was the egg of the Dead Soul Sparrow, which became the food of Mi Hua in the book and had no chance of hatching.

The mirror, named the Amber Divine Mirror, is a ninth-grade spiritual artifact. It contains a myriad-image soul that can simulate the master's power and create a clone of the same rank as the master.

After Yu Lingyao ascended to the Immortal Realm in the book, he reforged it and upgraded it to an Immortal Artifact.

As for the Soul-Suppressing Spear, it never appeared in the book.

Looking back now, he realized that the remnant souls he had desperately slaughtered before were killed with a spear.

This is probably the weapon he used when he was alive.

But, in such an inconspicuous corner... this is just too outrageous.

This spear is no match for the Ghost God Bell, because the Ghost God Bell is the most precious treasure of the Nine Yin Ruins, and this weapon cannot compare to it.

But it is also a genuine celestial artifact.

The fact that Yu Lingyue could pick it up means that the spirit within the spear acknowledged her.

The remnant soul was destroyed by himself, and from then on, only Yu Lingyue could use this spear.

The current situation with this gun should be the same as with the Golden Crow Banner; its spirit has probably not been fully awakened yet.

Its grade should be the same as the Golden Crow Banner.

Ninth rank.

Thinking of this, Qin Yangjun couldn't help but complain about Yu Lingyue's luck.

Is this the protagonist's halo? Even though she intercepted it herself, she still got a celestial artifact.

Now that she has this spear, with her Foundation Establishment cultivation, she can probably even fight against ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

Wait until foundation building?

Only then did Qin Yangjun realize that Yu Lingyue's aura was unusually strong, showing signs of breaking through to the Golden Core stage...

He was only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage before, how come he's suddenly at the peak of Foundation Establishment now?

Chapter 3: Hit the ball straight

Yu Lingyue, standing to the side, was unaware of Qin Yangjun's surprised gaze.

After she finished her spear demonstration, she planted the spear in the ground, then put her hands on her hips and looked at the spear, saying:

"Senior brother, I can't tell the grade of this spear. You are more knowledgeable, can you help me take a look?"

"Nine grades."

Qin Yangjun snapped out of his daze and replied without hesitation.

"Oh...what? Ninth rank?"

Yu Lingyue didn't react immediately; in her eyes, this spear was at most a sixth or seventh grade weapon.

He actually reached the ninth rank?!

"Correct."

Qin Yangjun gave an affirmative answer.

Given Yu Lingyue's constitution, the spirit within will awaken on its own soon, and she will naturally know everything then.

Therefore, there is no need for me to hide it.

However, it cannot be directly called a celestial artifact.

Because a celestial weapon without an awakened spirit cannot be recognized by its appearance, Yu Lingyue was unaware of this, but the spirit of the weapon that suppresses the soul certainly did.

Qin Yangjun did not want to expose the matter of the Golden Crow Banner.

Therefore, answering with "ninth rank" is the most conservative answer.

"It's actually a top-grade spiritual weapon..."

Yu Lingyue looked at Zhenhun Yu with a hint of sigh in her voice, but she quickly came back to her senses.

There wasn't much of a smile on her face; her mind was racing with a myriad of thoughts.

Finally, she bit her lip slightly, as if she had made some kind of decision.

The next second, she picked up the spear in her hand and handed it to Qin Yangjun.

Qin Yangjun was taken aback by her action.

"Junior sister, what's wrong...?"

"Senior brother, if it weren't for you, I would never have been able to obtain this spiritual artifact. Now that I have already acquired the Ethereal Steps, I have no face to take this artifact with me, so I want to give it to you..."

In Yu Lingyue's view, all of this was caused by Qin Yangjun giving Hua Yaoyao the Cold Water.

Moreover, this opportunity was given to Hua Yaoyao. If Hua Yaoyao hadn't brought her along, she wouldn't have even been able to obtain the Misty Step.

If Qin Yangjun hadn't sacrificed himself for righteousness, the others might not have been able to escape from that black mist.

My senior brother put in the most effort, but not only did he get nothing, he also got injured.

Thinking of this, Yu Lingyue felt extremely guilty.

At the same time, Yu Lingyue made this decision for more than just this one reason.
