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

Following the cultivation method given to him by Hai Xue'er, Shen Yifei guided his soul to slowly explore the depths of Zhao Yue's sea of ​​consciousness.

This process must be handled with extreme care, since the Ninth Princess's soul is weak, yet she possesses the qualities of an immortal; if things are not handled properly, something bad could happen.

Zhao Yue closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly. When that unfamiliar spiritual aura entered her sea of ​​consciousness, she instinctively tensed her body, but quickly relaxed.

"Don't be nervous, just follow my breath." Shen Yifei's voice rang in her mind, gentle and soft.

Zhao Yue gave a soft "hmm" and let down her guard.

In her own dream, she had created such a man; what could he possibly do to her?

Shen Yifei's soul traveled through her sea of ​​consciousness and found that the Ninth Princess's sea of ​​consciousness was incredibly large, but it was completely empty, as if it had been hollowed out by something.

Only a small portion of the divine soul power that should have been abundant remained in a corner.

"As expected, most of his soul has been extracted." Shen Yifei realized.

Without further hesitation, he circulated his cultivation technique, slowly channeling his spiritual power into the depths of Zhao Yue's sea of ​​consciousness. Their spiritual souls, like two separate rivers, finally converged.

That feeling was absolutely wonderful.

Zhao Yue's body trembled violently, and she let out a very soft groan.

That feeling of spiritual communion was a hundred times more comforting than any rare and precious herb she had ever tasted. It was like a riverbed that had been dry for many years finally receiving its first spring rain.

"Ninth Princess, how are you feeling?" Shen Yifei asked softly.

"Mmm..." Zhao Yue's voice trembled slightly, "So...so comfortable..."

Shen Yifei was secretly delighted and continued to guide the two souls to merge.

His spiritual power roamed through her sea of ​​consciousness, leaving behind a warm current wherever it passed, nourishing her parched soul.

Zhao Yue's body began to feel slightly warm, and a faint pink tinge appeared on her originally fair skin.

Her breathing became rapid, her hands gripped her knees tightly, and she felt as if she were undergoing a baptism she had never experienced before.

Shen Yifei wasn't idle either. He circulated his cultivation technique to nourish her soul while letting the red aura circulate between their souls.

He figured out this method when he was cultivating with Ye Ling. Since it worked in physical cultivation, it should also work in spiritual cultivation.

Sure enough, when that wisp of red aura began to shuttle back and forth between the two souls, Zhao Yue tensed up abruptly.

"What...what is this?" Her voice carried a hint of panic, but more than anything, it was intoxication.

"It's good stuff... Don't be afraid... Relax," Shen Yifei reassured him.

That wisp of red aura was like a warm stream, flowing back and forth in her empty sea of ​​consciousness, leaving behind a warm current with each round.

The warm current gathered in her mind and gradually formed a small vortex.

Zhao Yue felt as if she were floating, as if she were soaking in a warm spring, with every pore on her body breathing.

Shen Yifei also sensed the change.

Zhao Yue's sea of ​​consciousness began to actively absorb his divine soul power. The suction force was not strong, but it was very persistent.

Shen Yifei was initially worried that if his soul was absorbed, he would become an idiot.

However, shortly after merging with Zhao Yue's soul, his soul split in two. One part returned to his own sea of ​​consciousness intact, while the other part remained in Zhao Yue's sea of ​​consciousness.

This is the dual cultivation of spiritual consciousness, and Shen Yifei finally understood the mystery of dual cultivation of spiritual consciousness!

The two of them then engaged in a full half-hour of dual cultivation of their spirits and souls within the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow.

Zhao Yue had completely let go of herself, no longer suppressing the desire that had accumulated over the past decade. Her soul actively entwined with Shen Yifei's soul, like two vines intertwined, no longer able to distinguish one from the other.

"Ninth Princess, what do you think of the effects of this cultivation technique?"

"It feels so good... I've never felt this good before. It's like... like I've been filled with something, and I'm no longer empty."

Shen Yifei chuckled inwardly. It's good that you feel good. Although this dual cultivation technique was borrowed from Hai Xue'er, the addition of the Five Elements Demon God's aura has practically doubled its effectiveness.

He felt it was about time and wanted to withdraw his divine soul.

But Zhao Yue's soul clung tightly to him, refusing to let go.

"No...don't go..." Her voice held a hint of pleading, "Stay with me a little longer...I'm afraid that when I wake up, I'll be back in that cold palace..."

Shen Yifei's heart softened, and he didn't stop. He continued to activate his cultivation technique, allowing their souls to continue to merge.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Zhao Yue's body began to glow faintly. The light was warm and gentle, emanating from between her brows and illuminating the entire interior space of the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow.

Her soul was being repaired at an incredible speed. While it was impossible to fully replenish all the voids that had been drained away at once, it was at least much fuller than before.

Zhao Yue opened her eyes, and a hint of liveliness appeared in her starry eyes. "I feel... I feel much better!"

Shen Yifei also noticed that the snowflake mark between her eyebrows was a bit brighter than before. "That's good, it means the technique is effective."

"Will you still come here on the night of the full moon every month from now on?" Zhao Yue asked somewhat shyly.

After asking the question, she felt something was wrong. It was her dream, and if she wanted this man to appear, he would appear.

"Yes! I'll come every month from now on!"

"Then I'll wait for you."

After she finished speaking, Zhao Yue's figure began to fade gradually, starting from her feet, like a painting fading away, disappearing little by little from Shen Yifei's sight.

"Wait, the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow..." Before Shen Yifei could finish speaking, Zhao Yue had already completely disappeared.

Shen Yifei was annoyed; he had been so focused on dual cultivation that he had forgotten to ask about the important matter.

The moment his soul returned to his body, Shen Yifei shuddered.

He opened his eyes and found himself still squatting next to that ancient, icy marrow, his whole body covered in frost.

He stretched his limbs and felt that his soul was much more solid than before. This dual cultivation of soul and spirit was indeed effective, not only for the Ninth Princess but also for himself.

Shen Yifei looked at the ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow in front of him and sighed. All that fuss had done had benefited someone else.

He reached out again to try and hug the ancient, cold marrow.

This time, the stone did not resist at all, and was easily lifted off the ice like an ordinary stone.

Shen Yifei fell backwards onto his back because he exerted too much force.

"Master! Master! You obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow?"

Although Shen Yifei looked somewhat disheveled, he had finally obtained the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow.

"Got it." Shen Yifei patted the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow, looking smug.

"Master, what did you see while your soul was inside for so long?"

Shen Yifei hesitated for a moment, "It's nothing, there's just a formation inside, I can take it after I break it."

"Really?" Liu Mengli clearly didn't believe it. "Master, your speech slows down when you lie!"

Believe it or not!!

"Brother, I feel that your soul is much stronger than before. Did you encounter something good inside?" Xinghe chimed in.

"Perhaps after breaking through that formation, I absorbed the spiritual energy inside." Shen Yifei chuckled. "Alright, it's almost dawn, I need to hurry up and get out."

After saying that, he embraced the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow, leaped into the air, and flew out of the rift valley.
