The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Near the Demon Vein in the back mountain, demon soldiers are setting up camp.

Ye Ling stood on a high ground, directing Helian Tie to set up the tent in a very professional manner.

Seeing Shen Yifei approach, she glanced at him and said, "Why aren't you with those women? What are you doing here?"

Shen Yifei sat down next to her and looked at the demon soldiers who were setting up camp. "Wife, what are your old subordinates' plans for the future?"

"They are all brothers who risked their lives with me back then. They were sealed for more than 10,000 years, and they finally got out. We have to find them a place to settle down. Cangwu Mountain is a good place. It has plenty of spiritual energy and a demonic vein, which is suitable for their cultivation."

"Then let them all stay." Shen Yifei took her hand, pulled Ye Ling to sit down next to him, and then put his arm around her waist.

"Wife, this Cangwu Mountain is our home, and your brothers are my brothers. Cangwu Mountain is vast enough that here, whether human, demon, or monster, everyone is equal, without distinction between you and me!"

Ye Ling nodded in agreement, "Actually, I didn't know who we were fighting for or why we had to fight and kill each other back then. It's so much better to be peaceful now."

Shen Yifei was surprised to hear Ye Ling's words; was this really the same thing the Demon God of War was saying...?

However, judging from her eyes, this was clearly what she truly felt.

"Wife, let's use our power to change this world, to make it like Mount Cangwu!"

"Yes, I've been cultivating inside the cauldron these past few days and have come to these insights. Power isn't necessarily for killing... I've killed too many people in the past..."

"Honey, speaking of power, let's study the aura of that Five Elements Demon God."

Then, Shen Yifei briefly recounted how his father, Shen Changtian, was still alive and currently in the Immortal Realm, and how his mother, Youlan, was searching for the relics of the Five Elements Demon God.

After listening, Ye Ling pondered for a long time.

"So you inherited your mother's Five Elements Demon God legacy."

"Wife, you said you also have the aura of the Five Elements Demon God within you, what's going on?"

Ye Ling shook her head. "I don't know either. When I was sealed away ten thousand years ago, this aura wasn't in my body. I only discovered it after I woke up. It's possible that something seeped into my body during the sealing period."

"Honey, I've noticed that when we're intimate, our scent becomes particularly strong."

Ye Ling's face flushed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "Just say what you want to say."

Shen Yifei chuckled, "Do you think this thing needs to be activated through dual cultivation?"

Ye Ling looked at him expressionlessly, "If you want to sleep with me, just say so. Why beat around the bush and say so much nonsense!"

"Honey, it's been a long time since we've done 'that,' you see... hehe, let's also study the aura of the Five Elements Demon God while we're at it..."

"Tell me, where to...?"

Shen Yifei liked Ye Ling's straightforwardness; she was never coy.

"Wife, I think we're best suited to be inside the cauldron, think about it..."

"No need to say more, just come to my place!"

Shen Yifei stopped wasting words and beckoned Xue Ying over. "Old Xue, I'm going into seclusion with the God of War. Keep an eye on the entrance to the demonic vein; no one is allowed to approach!"

"Young Master, rest assured, I will risk my life to ensure that no one disturbs you and the God of War."

After receiving the order, Xueying looked at Shen Yifei with a different gaze, secretly praising him: "Young Master is indeed no ordinary person. He started cultivating right after the battle. With such diligence, no wonder his cultivation level has increased so quickly."

Shen Yifei and Ye Ling arrived at the depths of the demonic vein. Ye Ling casually set up a barrier, isolating all sounds and auras from the outside.

Shen Yifei summoned the Cauldron of Myriad Things, and the two of them swayed and entered the cauldron.

The world inside the cauldron remained the same, with distant mountains shrouded in mist and nearby pavilions and medicinal fields teeming with life.

Liu Mengli was pestering Xinghe, asking her to find a way to restore her physical body, her behavior almost like a beggar on the street.

Xinghe, unable to resist the pestering, squatted by the edge of the medicinal herb field, her little face scrunched up, flipping through a medical book.

Seeing Shen Yifei and Ye Ling enter, Liu Mengli merely raised her eyelids. "Oh, Master, you're cultivating again? What are you and your wife discussing this time? Do you need me to cheer you on?"

"Get lost, don't bother us." Shen Yifei laughed and cursed, then pulled Ye Ling and flew towards the highest mountain peak.

"Tch, forgetting the old for the new, men like that..." Liu Mengli pouted, continuing to pester Xinghe, "Xinghe, you said phoenixes can be reborn from the ashes, why don't we go pluck a phoenix feather and try it?"

Xinghe didn't even look up. "Sister Mengli, phoenix tail feathers are for people with physical bodies. You're a spirit, so you can't use them. If you really want to recover your physical body quickly, you need to find something called the 'Five Elements Spiritual Spring'."

"The Five Elements Spiritual Spring? What's that?"

"The book says that the Five Elements Spiritual Spring is something left over from the beginning of heaven and earth, containing the most primordial power in the world. Soaking in it, not only will you recover your physical body, but you might even grow three heads and six arms."

Liu Mengli's eyes lit up. "Where is that thing?"

"I don't know." Xinghe turned a page of the book. "The book only says that this thing exists, but it doesn't say where you can find it."

Liu Mengli immediately deflated, "Then what are you talking about? Hey, Xinghe, look, although my spirit body can conjure up the feeling of a physical body, I'm like an inflatable balloon. No matter how I conjure, it's not real. Look, my master has almost completely forgotten about me..."

After saying that, she looked at the highest peak in the distance, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment.

Shen Yifei and Ye Ling stayed in the palace at the highest peak inside the cauldron for three days and three nights.

For the past three days, aside from necessary rest, the two of them have been studying the red aura.

Every time the two of them came together, Shen Yifei could feel the two red auras constantly merging, like a couple reunited after a long separation.

He also discovered a strange phenomenon.

The red aura within him and the red aura within Ye Ling, though originating from the same source, have completely opposite directions.

His breath moved from left to right, while Ye Ling's breath moved from right to left.

Shen Yifei told Ye Ling about his discovery, and Ye Ling also felt it herself, and it was indeed as Shen Yifei said.

This also explains why the aura within his body is very similar to Shen Yifei's, but with some differences.

"Wife, if the aura of the Five Elements Demon God within me is Yang, then yours is Yin, right?"

"Yes, that should be the case."

"Wife, a person's body contains both yang and yin energy... what... what does this mean?"

Shen Yifei and Ye Ling both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"Could he be...?"

"Hermaphrodites..." Ye Ling said first, expressing her thoughts.

Shen Yifei continued Ye Ling's words, "It should be hermaphroditic! The Five Elements Demon God is both male and female!"
