"Primer? What kind of primer is missing? Can Aqing tell?" Lin Qiqi asked curiously, with a glint of inquiry in her eyes.

Yun Qing gently shook his head, a hint of helplessness and confusion between his brows, "I just feel deep down that I'm missing a very important ingredient, but I really don't know what it is."

Lin Qiqi slowly shifted her gaze to the bottle and stared at it quietly for a while, as if trying to glean some secret from it. Then she asked, "Does Ah Qing know what exactly is being refined in there?"

Yun Qing frowned slightly and rubbed his brows with his fingers, as if he was trying to recall something. After a moment, a hint of certainty flashed in his eyes, "It seems to be Yizhu. Yes, it is Yizhu."

Yizhu? When Lin Qiqi heard this name, she couldn't help but rub her ears, a slightly irritated look on her face.

This matter became more and more confusing. Lin Qiqi knew something about Yizhu.

It is a rather mysterious object in the world of immortal cultivation. Many cultivators have become unstable in their Tao hearts due to being tainted by the grievances and love affairs of the mortal world. They are troubled by worldly affairs all day long and find it difficult to calm down and pursue the great Dao wholeheartedly and seek perfection. Therefore, they choose to refine memory beads to help themselves get rid of these troubles.

Most of the memories carried by the memory beads were discarded by the ascetics after careful consideration.

They seemed to be meticulously planning a special ceremony, carefully extracting their memories in batches as if they were precious treasures.

These extracted memories, seemingly imbued with some mysterious power, blended with the blood amber before being thrown into the alchemy furnace. As the flames within the furnace burned fiercely, the mixture of memories and blood amber gradually underwent a miraculous transformation, ultimately sealing the memories within the refined bead.

For practitioners of Taoism, the Memory Pearl is like a secret yet important escape route.

You know, there are very few people who can become gods or immortals. The vast majority of ascetics may have longer lifespans than ordinary people, but at the same time they are also accompanied by endless loneliness.

Over the long years, they have endured countless hardships and trials, their fatigue and helplessness gradually accumulating. And when one day, they feel tired, exhausted, or find life boring, it is not uncommon for them to open their previously sealed memory beads and search for a trace of past warmth and comfort.

Many ascetics have relied on bits of memories in their memory beads to ease their inner pain and confusion during their lonely times.

Had she really abandoned those unformed memories? Lin Qiqi couldn't believe it no matter what. Her heart was filled with doubt and uneasiness, as if a small hand was constantly pulling at her thoughts.

"But this memory bead seems different from ordinary ones." Yun Qing's words were like a stream of clear water, abruptly pulling Lin Qiqi's wandering thoughts back. A glint of inquiry glimmered in Yun Qing's eyes as he continued, "Although I currently have no way to definitively confirm its uniqueness, judging by its color alone, I can assert that this memory bead is the extremely rare exquisite double-heart bead."

"Exquisite Double Heart Beads?" Lin Qiqi shook her head blankly. She had never heard of such beads. Her mind was blank, as if shrouded in fog.

"Is the catalyst for this exquisite double-heart bead also blood amber?" Lin Qiqi stared at Yun Qing intently, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, as if getting the answer from him would resolve all her doubts. Her tightly pursed lips trembled slightly, revealing her inner anxiety and impatience.

"It's not blood amber." Yun Qing said slowly, then frowned, trying to recall every detail about the mysterious bead. He did know its name, but other related information was a bit vague. Despite this, he still firmly believed that the required primer was definitely not blood amber.

"If there's no trigger, what will happen to the contents?" Lin Qiqi asked worriedly, a hint of anxiety in her voice. She gripped the bottle tightly, feeling uneasy. She had a feeling this was connected to the memories she wanted to recover.

Yun Qing smiled faintly, a reassuring look flashing in his eyes. "It's okay, no need to worry too much. Just put it aside. These beads just can't be fused for the time being. Once we find the key trigger, we'll naturally be able to fuse them together perfectly."

Lin Qiqi sighed softly, a flicker of disappointment in her eyes. She carefully placed the bottle in a safe place, as if it were a precious treasure. She shook her head helplessly, muttering to herself, "It seems this is the only way."

She truly had no recollection of this exquisite double-heart bead, and even before this, she had never realized such a secret lay hidden within the skill box. She began to lapse into deep thought, trying to recall any clues that might be related to the bead, but her mind was blank, as if shrouded in a fog.

It stared at their ice cream cones intently, the eagerness in its heart almost bursting through the sky. It wished it could tell them everything without reservation at the moment, but there was really no way. The restriction that Yun Qing had imposed on it was too strong. As long as the ice cream cone had the slightest thought of speaking in its mind, the strong electric current would instantly hit it, as if thousands of fine needles were constantly pricking it. The feeling was really unbearable.

Yun Qing's protection of Lin Qiqi can be said to be the ultimate among the ultimate.

Yun Qing had gone through great pains to find the Memory Pearl from all over the world of immortal cultivation.

At that time, Lin Qiqi's memory had already fallen into a chaotic quagmire. No matter whether she used hypnosis, cast talismans to suppress it, or even resorted to extreme means such as erasing her memory, she was unable to completely eliminate the inner demon deep in her heart and the nightmare that followed her like a shadow.

Those chaotic and painful memories seemed to be deeply rooted in the most secret corner of her heart. Even if she tried her best to remove them, they would soon grow back like weeds.

Even the highly respected Master Zhong was very confused by this and could not explain why this situation occurred. Everyone speculated that it might be because Lin Qiqi's physique was too special. It seemed that she had built one indestructible barrier after another deep in her heart. Therefore, every time the means used against her seemed to have some effect on the surface, it was far from touching the root of the problem.

At first glance, all those past memories seemed completely erased, but in reality, they were all simply skillfully sealed away within the deepest recesses of that mysterious and profound barrier. It was like a carefully planned slumber, and as time quietly passed, those sealed memories seemed to be enchanted, and at the right moment, like a bird freed from its shackles, they flew freely forth.

In the history of the Air Traffic Control Bureau, there had never been a case as unique as Lin Qiqi's. At that moment, her soul was in a precarious state, on the verge of disintegration and collapse. She looked like a towering tower on the verge of collapse, threatened to be reduced to rubble at any moment.

Yun Qing carefully searched through the vast amount of information in the bureau. As luck would have it, he finally found the Memory Pearl, a treasure he had found.

Memory beads differ fundamentally from common memory erasure methods. Rather than violently erasing memories, they employ a relatively gentle method, transferring and sealing them. The remarkable thing about this method is that it doesn't stir up a strong resistance within the person being erased. It's like gently wrapping a memory in a layer of soft silk, keeping it safe and sound.

In order to save the trapped Lin Qiqi, Yun Qing resolutely made a bold decision. He temporarily sealed Lin Qiqi in a very special space. It was as if the God of Time had pressed the pause button in that space, and everything was still.

Afterwards, regardless of his own safety, he resolutely took on the extremely difficult task of cultivating immortals and embarked on the journey full of unknowns and dangers alone.

When Yun Qing returned that time, he had truly experienced a life-or-death ordeal.

His original cultivation level seemed to be unable to cope with the harsh test of the world of immortal cultivation, and he was unable to effectively support the implementation of the entire mission.

However, with his strong will and fearless courage, he miraculously succeeded.

Not only did he successfully seal the demons, eliminating a major scourge for the world of immortal cultivation, but he also went through untold hardships to bring back the precious materials that Yizhu urgently needed.

Yun Qing didn't bother to rest. As soon as he felt better, he sifted through Lin Qiqi's memories, extracting the parts that had caused her unbearable pain and sealing them in a memory bead. He added numerous spells to the memory bead and hid it in a forbidden forest in a certain world.
