Zhang Ye recovered his true energy when it was almost dawn.

  He was in high spirits. But the woman, who seemed to have just recovered from a serious illness, curled up and shivered with cold, her sensual lips frozen purple.

  Zhang Ye hastily took off his thin coat and put it on the woman.

  The woman gazed at him for a long time, and smiled slightly: "Youre really great, but the you from last night was even more charming, with a bit of badness. Why do women all like bad men? I really want to see that look of yours again, the one where you didnt care about anything in the world, and looked down on everything. Thats the most beautiful thing Ive seen so far."

  Zhang Ye scratched his head, vaguely feeling that Ziyi had done something bad. He immediately ran to the sea of consciousness and asked: "Hey, what did you do to me?"

  "Borrowed your body for a bit, Ive done it before, why are you only getting worked up about it now?" Zi Yi said calmly.

  "Youre so lacking in taste, I pity you. I let you live in my head, but this body is mine and these thoughts are mine, dont get out of line."

  "I dont guarantee it, but Ill try." Ziyi still had an air of arrogance on her face even after doing something wrong.

  "You... Im not playing with you anymore..." Zhang Ye left Shi Hai.

  "You look so cute when youre spacing out."

  The woman also tried to stretch out her hand and wipe off a speck of dirt on Zhang Yes face.

  Zhang Ye didnt mind this and even felt good in his heart, thinking that this woman was also a friend now. Only friends would care about each other like this.

  "Were friends now," Zhang Ye said.

  The womans heart felt warm and fuzzy, "You dont even know my name, yet you saved me and treated me so kindly?"

  Zhang Ye said, "Youre really great. When we were outside the woods, you lied, and when I went in, there was a misunderstanding. I thought you would take advantage of the situation to frame me, but instead you cleared things up for me. Im very grateful. And to be honest with you, were not even close friends. But many of my fellow disciples arent as good as you are. They often try to frame me in many ways."

  The woman looked at him for a long time and said softly: "Can I lean on your bosom? Im a bit cold."

  Just as Zhang Ye was about to agree, his expression suddenly changed and he slightly raised his face, saying: "Get out, I can only look but not touch."

  Seeing this enchanting and charming expression again, the woman almost fainted with infatuation, unable to utter a word for a long time.

  Huh?

  Zhang Ye once again put on a harmless expression and scratched his head.

  The woman leaned against the stone beside her and said, "Im too tired, I need to rest for a while. Please dont leave me, I have no home to return to. By the way, my name is Su Qing."

  She fell asleep with her eyes closed.

  Zhang Ye had nothing to do now, so he pulled out Xiaobao from the gourd. But this guy was always sleeping and didnt want to wake up.

  "Xiao Bao, wake up! Why are you smoking and blowing smoke again? Wont you get hurt?" Zhang Ye asked.

  Xiao Bao is too muddle-headed. Recently, it often only wakes up when Zhang Ye encounters danger, and usually sleeps a lot at ordinary times.

  Immediately, Zhang Ye checked and his heart skipped a beat. Oh no, the second-grade flying sword that Xu Yuns sister had given him was gone. It had clearly been stored in the gourd, so it shouldnt have gotten lost!

  "Dont worry, Xiaobao ate it, and dont be stingy, he loves to eat these things, they can help him grow up. To save you, he sprayed wolf poison and was hungry, so he ate the flying sword. Let her sleep, she is like your Jinyu, sooner or later one day, they will not disappoint you." A voice came from the Purple Robe in the sea of knowledge.

  "How can I take good care of them?" Zhang Ye asked doubtfully.

  "Youve done well, relying on each other for survival, never giving up. This is the best communication in the world, just like how you cultivate medicinal herbs. Xiaobao and Jinyu, only you can raise them to be alive. I have to admit that youre not useless in this aspect. But Im warning you to be careful, Xiaobao can currently only devour third-grade and below magical artifacts. Not all battles will be helpful, dont get too proud, when you unknowingly provoke a powerful figure and get into danger, Xiaobao will also be anxious to save you, but hes just like you, needing time to grow. When the day comes that Xiaobao regains his true form, he can help you pierce through the heavens."

  Zi Yi finished speaking and closed her eyes, seemingly unwilling to say more.

  Zhang Ye was very depressed, ran into the gourd, made an effort to rub that lazy dog, and stretched out his hand to gently touch that bitter golden bud.

  Then she instructed: "Xiao Bao, Xiao Bao listen to me, from now on without my instructions, dont steal my things, its not that I wont give you any, those were things given to me by Xu Ying Shifu, and now theyve been stolen by you, Im so heartbroken."

  Xiao Bao hummed in his sleep and licked Zhang Yes face, indicating that he wouldnt dare to do it again next time.

  After spending a long time summarizing the experience of this battle, Zhang Ye did not slack off and continued to cultivate again.

  Having practiced the profound and insightful Xuan Kong Quan, I vaguely feel that although I havent made any breakthroughs in modifying the fist techniques again, my subtle control has become more exquisite and skillful.

  Yes, the power of Xuan Kong Fist hasnt increased, but now Zhang Ye has confidence that in the next battle, he can use less true energy to cast Xuan Kong Fist. This way, what increases is endurance.

  Its indeed true that actual combat experience on the edge of life and death cant be replaced by closed-door training, no wonder Master Tan Siqin wanted me to go out and gain some practical experience.

  Collecting his thoughts, Zhang Ye began to meditate at night.

  This surge of true energy startled Zhang Ye, and the airflow not only became thicker, but also like a runaway wild horse, completely out of control, bursting forth.

  The already filled meridians were impacted by the unbridled true energy, causing swelling everywhere, and now the body is congested all over.

  Zhang Yes body was too unique, and his gains in actual combat were much greater than he had imagined. One aperture opened, all seven apertures opened.

  At last, the worry that Zǐ Yī had been concerned about arrived. Before Dà Shī Jiě could wait no longer, Zhang Ye was already at the critical point of a self-initiated breakthrough.

  Zhang Ye wanted to hold back his true energy, but it was extremely difficult.

  "Little fool, its time for you to build your foundation. Theres no more time to waste, now is not the time to hold back, work with the true energy and add strength, break through the obstacles in one move, then you will see a new realm, a new horizon." The voice of the purple-robed figure echoed in his mind.

  "Will I be in danger?" Zhang Ye asked in the sea of recognition.

  "Danger is everywhere, even drinking water and eating are dangerous. At least, for your talent, the danger of this foundation establishment is not as serious as the two battles you fought. All in!" Zi Yi said.

  "Do you have any good ways to help me?" Zhang Ye asked urgently, sensing that the situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.

  "It was there, but because of your recklessness, the little bit of my vitality that I had just managed to recover was forcibly activated by the overly profound Taixuanyi, and it has been exhausted. The reason it hasnt dissipated is that I took away half of your lifes true essence, and absorbed part of Lantianyings true essence. Now youre on your own. Currently, Im not even as good as you."

  The purple-robed woman sensed the danger, but she didnt panic. She quietly closed her eyes and once again tied her fate with Zhang Yes. She could have left Zhang Ye behind, but she chose to stay, sharing a common destiny...
