You're just a single demon beast? I have a whole army of beast tamers!

Qin Shou didn't say much, but raised his hand and touched her forehead.

A wisp of essence blood seeped from his fingertip, mixed with a faint five-colored light, and entered Shen Liuli's sea of ​​consciousness.

Shen Liuli felt a warmth in her mind, as if she were enveloped by a layer of extremely soft water.

In a short while, the water seeped into the depths of her soul and disappeared.

"It's done." Qin Shou withdrew his hand.

Shen Liuli opened her eyes, her gaze softening slightly as she looked at him: "Thank you, my husband."

"Since you trust me, I will naturally leave you a way to save your life," Qin Shou said. "Let's go and take a look at that five-colored tree."

He carried Shen Liuli and flew towards the Five-Colored Tree.

As she traveled, Shen Liuli grew increasingly alarmed.

The terrain and springs here seem to be naturally formed, yet also bear traces of human intervention.

If what Qin Shou said is true, and the space will transform as he breaks through, then this place may very well become a true immortal realm in the future.

Beneath the five-colored tree, a colorful sphere floated in mid-air, seemingly curious about Shen Liuli's arrival, and gently swayed.

Qin Beast reached out and touched the sphere, and it quieted down.

"This sphere is called Creation."

Qin Shou said, "From now on, you will take care of the spiritual plants here. If you encounter any difficulties, you can communicate with it. It is intelligent and can understand your words."

Shen Liuli tentatively bowed to the sphere:

"Fortune, I'll be in a lot of trouble with you in the future."

The sphere wobbled twice more, scattering a few colorful specks of light.

Shen Liuli raised her hand to catch it, and felt a warm current flow into her body through her palm, making her feel a little more relaxed.

"It likes you very much," Qin Shou said.

Shen Liuli smiled and said nothing more.

In the following period of time, Qin Shou began to construct the Gathering Immortal Spirit Pool.

He chose a location for the medium-level immortal spiritual energy pool about three hundred miles east of the Five-Colored Tree.

The terrain there is slightly low-lying, surrounded by hills on all sides, with a ley line still developing below.

Although it is not yet fully formed, its foundation is excellent.

Once the space undergoes a transformation, this ley line will naturally become an immortal.

Qin Shou did not entrust the construction to any outsiders.

He divided himself into several sections, first using the principles of earth to level the terrain, and then using the principles of fire to burn away the impurities in the soil.

Next, the Xuan Yuan Kong Jing was crushed and buried one by one in the ground according to the directions on the drawing.

For each seed buried, a restriction must be set up to connect it to the earth's veins.

Once all eight Xuan Yuan Void Crystals were in place, the ground within a radius of about one mile gradually became transparent, and faint spatial fluctuations rose from beneath one's feet.

Shen Liuli helped from the side.

She has already mastered the basics of both the Water and Wood elements. At this moment, she uses the Water element to nourish the earth's veins and the Wood element to cultivate the spiritual soil.

The spiritual soil from the nine orifices was divided into nine portions and filled into nine pre-prepared holes.

Each time a spot was filled, a pale golden halo appeared on the ground.

Nine halos connected together, resembling a nine-petaled lotus flower, supporting the entire pool of immortal spiritual energy.

"How much of the Earth Vein Immortal Essence is left?" Qin Beast asked.

Shen Liuli took out a jade bottle: "Three portions."

"That's enough," Qin Shou said. "The Nine Aperture Spiritual Soil stabilizes the bottom of the pool, the Profound Origin Void Crystal locks the space, and the Earth Vein Immortal Marrow is responsible for connecting the immortal spiritual energy."

These three substrates are all indispensable.

He poured the three portions of the Earth Vein Immortal Marrow into the three grooves in the pool.

As soon as the silvery-white liquid entered the ground, it immediately transformed into fine threads of light, spreading in all directions along the pre-buried restriction patterns.

The entire pool area began to glow, like a spider web that had been lit up.

Qin Shou sat cross-legged by the pool, his hands constantly forming hand seals.

His six orifices and small circulation channels were already fully open, and at this moment he was continuously injecting his own immortal spiritual power into the formation.

Shen Liuli retreated to a distance to avoid causing any disturbance.

This continued for forty-nine days until the last wisp of light at the bottom of the pool connected with the depths of the earth's veins. The entire Gathering Immortal Spirit Pool trembled violently, then slowly calmed down.

A thin layer of milky white mist rose from the surface of the pool; it was the spiritual mist that overflowed after the combination of immortal spiritual power and earth vein energy.

Qin Shou probed with his divine sense and found that although the immortal spiritual power in the pool was not yet at the level of a true immortal vein, it was enough for a pseudo-immortal cultivator to convert into immortal spiritual power.

It can still operate even if five people enter the pool at the same time.

"It's done." Qin Shou let out a long sigh of relief.

Shen Liuli stepped forward, looked at the pool which was no more than ten zhang square, and said:

"Medium-level Immortal Spirit Power Pool"

You will have ten times the time to cultivate in this realm, so five years here will be equivalent to fifty years in the outside world.

This is enough for you to complete the conversion of the last trace of immortal spiritual power before you attempt to become a True Immortal.

"Building this pool here will also benefit you."

Qin Shou said, "You only converted a little over 60% of your immortal spiritual power, which is slower than mine."

You can come and soak anytime.

Once I obtain the remaining breakthrough pills, we will attempt to break through to True Immortal status here.

Shen Liuli nodded seriously.

For the next five years, life went on as usual.

As the manager of the Long family had said, the war between Wucang Immortal City and Wanmo Xuanzong was just a small-scale skirmish.

There were occasional skirmishes on the western border, and several mines in the northern wilderness changed hands several times, but neither side had any Xuanxian-level experts actually involved.

To put it bluntly, both sides are testing the waters.

As long as there is no major war that shakes the foundations, life will continue as usual.

Qin Shou has rarely left the house in the past five years.

The Shui family always thought he was working day and night to produce pills.

After the Immortal Spirit Pool was built, he would soak in it every day.

The pool was brimming with spiritual energy, and with ten times the time allotted, his spiritual energy transformed extremely quickly.

The immortal spiritual power that was originally only three-tenths unreformed was advanced to 99% in less than two years using the outside world.

That final point, however, took almost a year to reach.

Qin Beast wasn't in a hurry.

He knew this was the final hurdle before achieving the perfection of a pseudo-immortal.

The spiritual energy from the lower realm within the immortal aperture was already negligible, yet that last trace, like a stubborn stain embedded deep within the meridians, refused to dissipate.

He continued his daily routine of refining elixirs, meditating, and entering the pool.

Occasionally, he would sit under the Five-Colored Tree for half a day, using the increased comprehension from the Creation Sphere to deduce the "Compendium of the Myriad Beasts Immortal Lord".

Shen Liuli was actually one step ahead of him.

She improved significantly from over 60% to 75%, but she's still far from perfect.

Qin Jiuqing now has her own small courtyard in the space.

Qin Shou had several docile eighth-tier demonic beasts accompany her.

Besides cultivating, the little girl spends her days playing by the spiritual spring, and occasionally rides a seven-colored deer around the immortal mountains, her laughter carrying far and wide.

On this day, Qin Beast entered the Immortal Spirit Power Pool as usual.

The pool water wasn't deep, just up to my chest.

Milky white immortal energy surged from the bottom of the pool like a living thing, seeping into every pore of his body.

Qin Shou closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, forcing the last bit of spiritual energy from the lower realm to the ends of his meridians.

The spiritual energy seemed to sense something, wandering aimlessly within his body, and several times trying to retreat back into the depths of his dantian.
