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

When Hongxiu came in, she saw Shen Yifei squatting in the courtyard, wiping the bluestone slab over and over again.

"Young Master, are you... getting ready to leave?"

"Hmm... Sister Hongxiu, come with me. The blood refining skills of the Xuanpin lineage might come in handy at the Spirit Ruins."

Without hesitation, Hongxiu nodded: "Wherever Young Master goes, this servant will go."

Shen Yifei stuffed the bluestone slab into his storage ring. "Alright, let's set off today."

"Today?" Hongxiu was taken aback, but then felt it was only natural.

Having followed Shen Yifei for some time, Hongxiu had long since figured out his personality. This young master was impulsive and acted on his whims without ever being indecisive.

"Yes, today. If we delay any longer, who knows what might happen to my mother. Besides, we've already explained everything to the demons, so there's no point in staying any longer."

After Shen Yifei finished speaking, he walked straight towards the old demon king's bedroom. Hongxiu followed behind him, knowing in her heart that once she left, she didn't know when she would be able to return to the demon territory.

When Shen Yifei bid farewell to the old demon king, the old man was lying in a recliner, leisurely basking in the sun.

"Go." The old demon king didn't say much, only patted Shen Yifei's hand. "Find your mother, and remember to come home."

Shen Yifei left the demon territory and headed east.

Following behind Shen Yifei, Hongxiu couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, since we're going to the East Sea, should we first return to Cangwu Mountain and inform the ladies?"

"No need," Shen Yifei waved his hand. "I left a letter in the Demon Palace and had Zhan Lie send someone to deliver it to Cangwu Mountain."

A few days later, Shen Yifei arrived in the East China Sea.

He didn't bother Ao Ting and his mother-in-law. This time, they were in a new place, and everything was uncertain. The more people knew, the more they would worry.

The Falling Star Sea is located at the end of the East China Sea. Legend has it that a meteor fell here, hence the name Falling Star. The sea is shrouded in a layer of mist all year round, making it inaccessible to ordinary ships. Even cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending Realm would get lost if they flew in.

Shen Yifei stared at the gray, hazy sea, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

"Mengli, are you sure the way you pointed out is correct?"

Liu Mengli floated out of the cauldron, lazily yawning. "Master, it took me three days to find the direction using the power of reincarnation, and you really don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just afraid you'll have vision problems after drinking."

"Master, now all that's left is the Demon Clan's strong liquor. You've finished all your previous Immortal's Intoxication."

"Mengli, when did you become a drunkard? Once we find my mother, we'll go to the Immortal Realm together, and then we'll drink real immortal wine!"

Liu Mengli's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Shen Yifei's arm, "Master, you said it! Don't go back on your word!"

"I mean what I say! Now, try to sense the location of the boundary gate."

Shen Yifei can only coax Liu Mengli to do things for him now, since her abilities are growing stronger and stronger, and her power as the Reincarnation Demon God has recovered most of its strength.

Liu Mengli yawned: "Let's wait until dawn. It's the middle of the night now, and there's a lot of fog on the sea."

After saying that, she dragged Hongxiu along, and the two of them went into the cauldron together, leaving Shen Yifei alone outside.

Shen Yifei simply sat cross-legged on the reef, took out the blue stone slab, and looked at it again by the moonlight: "Youlan was here, no one can catch me."

I wonder if my mother is thinking of me at this moment.

He put the stone slab away as dawn was breaking.

At this moment, the fog on the sea surface not only did not dissipate, but became thicker and thicker.

Liu Mengli yawned as she crawled out of the cauldron, stood beside him, stretched, and then bent over, revealing half of her chest.

"Master, you didn't sleep all night?"

"Where is the gate? Can we find it now?"

Liu Mengli closed her eyes, her hands forming a strange hand seal, and a faint halo spread out from between her eyebrows, sweeping across the sea.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and nodded: "Three hundred miles ahead, there is a sea eye, surrounded by a restriction. Master, you have Wan Shuo's Five Elements inheritance, so you should be able to walk directly in."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Shen Yifei leaped up and rushed in the direction Liu Mengli pointed.

Shen Yifei and his companion arrived at the three-hundred-mile mark in the blink of an eye.

However, this place had neither the sea eye that Liu Mengli had mentioned nor any restrictions; it was just a hazy, gray sea.

Shen Yifei hovered in mid-air, staring at the hazy sea for a long time, but he couldn't make out anything. He turned to Liu Mengli: "Mengli, where's the sea eye you mentioned? Where's the restriction?"

Liu Mengli was also stunned. She closed her eyes and sensed for a while before opening them again. "Strange, it was definitely here, how did it disappear?"

"That's it?" Shen Yifei's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that the boundary gate has grown legs and can run away?"

"The boundary gate can't grow legs, but it can hide. The restrictions that Wan Shuo set up aren't inanimate objects; they have sentience. If it senses that the person coming isn't qualified, it won't come out."

"Not qualified?" Shen Yifei pointed to his nose. "I possess the inheritance of Wan Shuo, and it still doesn't recognize me?"

"Inheritance is inheritance, and people are people." Liu Mengli shook her head.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yifei's competitive spirit surged: "Fine, then I'll show it whether I'm qualified to enter this door."

He took a deep breath, activating the five elements' power in his dantian to its fullest extent, and a layer of golden light emanated from his entire body. The light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the sea surface within a hundred feet in radius.

However, the sea remained calm as ever, without even a ripple.

Shen Yifei was somewhat discouraged, wondering how his mother had managed to find the boundary gate back then.

Shen Yifei had been holding back for a long time, and was about to curse when the seawater under his feet suddenly started bubbling up.

Immediately afterwards, the sea surface, which was a hundred feet in diameter, began to rotate, spinning faster and faster, and deeper and deeper.

At the center of the vortex, a dark stone platform slowly rose.

On the stone platform sat an old sea turtle larger than a millstone. The old turtle slowly poked its head out, squinted its eyes, and stared at Shen Yifei for a long while before opening its mouth and uttering a woman's voice:

"Hey, little one, you smell pretty mixed."

Shen Yifei was taken aback: "You...you're the gatekeeper?"

"What gate are you guarding? I am a spirit of this sea, and I have lived for tens of thousands of years. Just now, your aura woke me up from the seabed. I thought it was that fellow Wan Shuo who had come back to life."

The old sea turtle yawned slowly. "So you're his successor, and you're even bringing that little girl, Reincarnation... Tsk tsk, you're quite the ladies' man."

As soon as the old sea turtle uttered those words, Liu Mengli narrowed her eyes behind Shen Yifei.

She hooked her arm around Shen Yifei's, peeked out with a grin, and said, "Oh, grandma, do you know me?"

The old sea turtle slowly rolled its eyes. "Reincarnation, huh? So, after reincarnation, you don't even recognize me?"

Liu Mengli was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Oh my, it's you! The little sea turtle that Wan Shuo saved back then?"

Upon hearing that the old sea turtle was related to Wan Shuo, Shen Yifei quickly asked, "Senior, you must know how to open the Spirit Ruins Realm Gate, right?"

The old sea turtle slowly extended one claw, and Shen Yifei thought it was going to point the way, but unexpectedly, the old sea turtle flipped its claw over, palm facing up.

"Want to enter the Spirit Ruins? Pay the toll first."
