Time flies, and two months have passed. Chu Ci delivered five hundred Zhuxian talismans to Li Yuanzhong as promised.

Upon seeing this, Li Yuanzhong's face showed an irrepressible joy. He carefully flipped through the talismans as if they were rare treasures, and then treasured them in his arms.

Li Yuanzhong also copied half of the map to Chu Ci as agreed.

Next, Chu Ci's task is to teach Li Modie the technique of refining the Zhuxian Talisman. After being nourished by the Yangyuan Pill, Li Modie's body has fully recovered.

She originally had a deep understanding of the Zhuxian Talisman. Under Chu Ci's careful guidance, after more than a month of hard work, she finally succeeded in refining the first Zhuxian Talisman on Jiuhua leopard skin. When the talisman shone with a faint light, Li Modie's face bloomed with a smile as bright as the sun.

"Senior Chu, I finally succeeded!" she shouted excitedly, her heart filled with gratitude towards Chu Ci.

Although Li Modie's cultivation was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, she was able to master the refining techniques of the Zhuxian Talisman in such a short time, which really showed her extraordinary talent. Chu Ci couldn't help but praise her: "Modie, you are indeed very talented."

Hearing Chu Ci's praise, Li Modie's face was filled with joy. In her heart, being praised by Chu Ci made her feel more excited and proud than successfully refining the Zhu Xian Talisman.

Chu Ci continued, "Next, your first task is to improve your cultivation. You should already know that the depth of your spiritual power directly determines the power of the Zhuxian Talisman you refine. Only when your spiritual power is stronger can you refine a more powerful Zhuxian Talisman."

Li Modie was still immersed in great joy at this time, with a smile on her face, and said confidently: "Senior Chu, as long as I follow you, I have the confidence to continuously improve myself!"

Chu Ci looked at her, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Mo Die, I once promised that when you are fully recovered, I will return your soul to you. Now, I have fulfilled my promise to Master Li, and it is time to return your soul. The soul contract between you and me will also be cancelled, and I will leave tomorrow."

Hearing this, Li Modie's body suddenly froze, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She thought she would always be with Chu Ci, but she didn't expect to hear such news.

"Chu...Senior Chu, I...I want to follow you...I don't want my soul, you...you take me away." Li Modie stuttered, a little shy, but more of a deep reluctance.

Chu Ci shook his head: "Mo Die, you are now able to refine the Zhuxian Talisman. The Li family needs you. And I also have a lot of things to do. It would be inconvenient to bring you along."

After saying that, he didn't give Li Modie a chance to speak again. The spiritual power in his body moved, and a small ball of light slowly emerged from his hand and slowly flew in front of Li Modie.

"I..." Li Modie opened her red lips and wanted to say something else. However, when she met Chu Ci's determined eyes, the words in her heart seemed to be bound by an invisible force, and she had to swallow them down.

She took over her lost soul with a sad heart. This should have made her ecstatic, but at this moment Li Modie couldn't be happy no matter what.

Seeing that Li Modie had taken her soul into her body, Chu Ci spoke softly:

"Okay, Mo Die. I will leave this place tomorrow, so you should practice well. Here are some spirit gathering talismans and a foundation-building pill for your practice."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and in his palm lay a stack of talismans and a small porcelain bottle, which he handed to Li Modie.

Li Modie wanted to speak several times, but swallowed her words back several times. Finally, she took the thing from Chu Ci's hand with disappointment and reluctance.

"Remember, practice well and don't let me down." After leaving this sentence, Chu Ci turned and left.

In the room, Li Modie sat on the bed in disappointment, feeling mixed emotions. Every bit of her time with Chu Ci in the past few months flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. Those happy laughs and the time they spent together could not be erased at this moment.

After some inner struggle and entanglement, Li Modie finally plucked up the courage, got up and walked out of the room.

She tiptoed to Chu Ci's door, feeling both hopeful and fearful. She knocked on the door gently, but there was no response from inside. After hesitating for a moment, she mustered up the courage to push the door open.

The room was empty except for a book and a letter on the table. Li Modie walked over and unfolded the letter.

The letter read: "Mo Die, I have nothing to give you before we part, so this is the Zhu Xian Fu experience. The road ahead is long, so take care."

Li Modie burst into tears when she saw the words on the letter. She pressed the letter tightly against her chest, as if she could feel the breath of Chuci.

Chu Ci was flying at top speed more than a thousand miles away from the Li family. He had already sensed the changes in Li Modie's heart, but he knew that the other party's cultivation was still shallow, and keeping her by his side would only be a burden to him. And he couldn't put her in the spirit beast bag like Xiaoli, so he chose to leave without saying goodbye.

……

Three days later, Chu Ci had already flown 70,000 to 80,000 miles on the Wind-Winged Eagle. He sat on the broad back of the Wind-Winged Eagle, holding a map and a book in his hands, his eyes focused.

When he was at the Li family, Chu Ci had never combined the two maps out of caution. Now that he had left the Li family, his concerns disappeared, and he began to study the map carefully.

The two maps fit together perfectly. It was unknown what kind of animal skin and pigment were used to make them. After a long time, the lines were still as clear as before. Every stroke on the map was meticulous and there was no blur at all.

There are many place names marked on the map, but due to the long time, these place names have long been changed. Chu Ci can only rely on the graphics of mountains, rivers, etc. drawn on it and compare them one by one with the map of Jin State in his hand, trying to find the connection between them.

After several days of intensive research, Chu Ci finally made a discovery. He found a place on the map where the mountains and rivers were almost exactly the same as those depicted on the map.

He felt excited, and was sure that this was the place depicted on the map.

But this place is located at the end of the distant Swallowing Star Mountains, which is extremely far away from where Chu Ci is at the moment. A rough estimate is at least three million miles away. This means that it takes six million miles to fly back and forth, which takes Chu Ci almost a year.

Moreover, there are no large towns near the Star-Swallowing Mountains, so the teleportation array cannot be used.

The only way is to fly.

Chu Ci gently patted the Wind Winged Eagle he was sitting on, looked into the distance and said to himself, "It looks like we'll be flying for a long time this time."

The wind-winged vulture seemed to understand Chu Ci's words. It let out a loud cry and flapped its wings to fly high, as if responding to Chu Ci.
