Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

The appearance of Jiuli brought Su Yang a lot of new knowledge, especially in terms of the gas element. He thought that Die'er was already a treasure trove of knowledge, but he never expected that Jiuli not only had a richer knowledge reserve, but also had infinite life. Upon closer inspection, it seemed reasonable. As long as you are not in a vacuum like the universe, gas will exist everywhere.

After spending a day studying what Gu Wushuang left behind, Su Yang had intended to ask Jiuli about the elemental stones, but he had exhausted a lot of energy, so he went back to his room to sleep after dinner, and the night passed uneventfully.

The next morning, Su Yang woke up full of energy, but to his surprise, Jiu Li also appeared when he woke up.

"Huh?" Su Yang was a little surprised, wondering why Jiu Li would show up.

"What's wrong, Mr. Su?" Jiuli remained as poised and confident as ever.

"Oh, no, it's just how you showed up."

“Mr. Su, didn’t you want to ask me about the Elemental Stones last night? But you went to bed early. I thought you should have the energy today, so I showed up.”

"How did you know I wanted to learn about the Elemental Stones last night?" Su Yang asked curiously.

Jiuli smiled mysteriously: "Didn't Jiuli say yesterday that you and I are now two bodies and one mind? Although not completely, I can sense anything in your heart that is related to me."

"Oh, yes, that's a saying." Su Yang felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly went downstairs to wash up and cook. After dinner, he finally began to formally exchange information with Jiu Li.

"In the message left by Mr. Gu, it was mentioned that the Elemental Stones are important items for maintaining the stability of this world. Does that mean that if the Elemental Stones are destroyed, this world will also be destroyed?" Su Yang asked the question that concerned him the most. After all, he might live in this world for a long time. If the Elemental Stones were destroyed, wouldn't he be doomed?

“Strictly speaking, that’s not the case. Let me show you something.” With that, he took out a wooden bracelet from his sleeve and handed it to Su Yang. Su Yang took it and examined it carefully, but didn’t find anything different, so he looked at Jiu Li with a puzzled expression.

With a gentle flick of his hand, Jiuli caused one of the wooden spheres in the bracelet to glow. He then said, "This bracelet was made from a small fragment of the Disorder Stone, which is also the Qi Element Stone. That fragment is hidden in one of the wooden spheres, and I have imbued it with elemental power, so others cannot see or feel it."

"Fragments of the Stone of Chaos? Does that mean the elemental stone representing the element of air has been destroyed?" Su Yang asked in surprise.

"It can also be understood this way: it seems that this level of destruction will not have any impact on the world. So we deduce that if the elemental stones are completely destroyed, the world may be in some kind of turmoil, but the world will give birth to new elemental stones to replace them."

"Then this period of turmoil must be very long, right? Wouldn't it take thousands of years for the elemental stones to be reborn?"

"That depends on the situation. We haven't found any information on that yet."

"We? What does 'we' refer to?" From the very beginning, Jiuli had been using "we" in her speech, which made Su Yang very concerned. Who was Jiuli referring to as "we"?

“It’s Mr. Gu and me,” Jiuli replied.

"Mr. Gu!?" Su Yang was completely shocked: "So Mr. Gu also knows the origin of the bracelet you just took out?"

Jiuli smiled and said, "This bracelet was made by Mr. Gu from a piece he carved off the Chaotic Stone."

Su Yang looked at Jiu Li in disbelief: "Didn't he only know the location of the elemental stones? How could he cut off another piece?"

“There’s a reason for all of this.” Jiuli sighed, then said with admiration, “With his strength, he could have taken all the elemental stones long ago. Although there’s no evidence, he himself was worried that taking the elemental stones would plunge the world into utter ruin. At the same time, he didn’t want to return to his original world. To ensure the stability of the world, he cut off a piece from each elemental stone. When he met me, he had already obtained five fragments of elemental stones. The one I have was one I personally witnessed him cutting off in the Lone Dragon Mountains.”

Su Yang felt a mix of emotions. Gu Wushuang hadn't told him these things in the message he left behind, probably because he was worried that his descendants might be unscrupulous or ambitious. That was understandable. So why would Jiuli take the initiative to tell me the facts that Mr. Gu had concealed?

Seeing Su Yang remain silent, Jiu Li continued, "After I revealed myself yesterday, I have been trying to find out your thoughts until this morning. If you weren't so simple-minded, Jiu Li wouldn't have taken out this bracelet to share this information with you."

As expected, Jiuli could sense Su Yang's thoughts. Before Su Yang could even ask, Jiuli answered his questions. Although he understood that the demise of the Elemental Stones would not destroy the world, Su Yang still didn't understand what the Elemental Stones could do. But then another question came to mind.

"You said that when Mr. Gu met you, he had already obtained five fragments of the Elemental Stone. Does that mean he later obtained all seven fragments of the Elemental Stone?"

"Yes"

"Where did all these fragments go?"

"When Mr. Gu later went into seclusion in the Lingluo Great Forest, he called it meditation, and then he randomly gave these fragments to so-called destined people."

Hearing Jiuli's explanation, Su Yang understood. He guessed that Gu Wushuang had become detached from worldly desires by the time he entered old age. Meditation seemed to be something that every reclusive master in the original world, whether in ancient or modern novels, would do in their old age. Looking at it this way, it seemed to make sense. Su Yang still had great respect for Gu Wushuang. He possessed such great strength but did not have a strong pursuit of power and worldly desires. Instead, he transcended worldly affairs and strived for world stability. This was the heart of a chivalrous person.

"Mr. Su, please keep this bracelet safe." Jiuli solemnly handed the bracelet to Su Yang and thoughtfully put it on his wrist, which made Su Yang feel flattered and at a loss for words.

Seeing Su Yang's somewhat flustered appearance, Jiu Li couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Why are you so nervous, sir? I know your thoughts and feelings. Why are you more flustered than when Jiu Li is putting a bracelet on you?"

"Hehe, this, uh." Su Yang was a little embarrassed, mainly because he wasn't very familiar with Jiu Li. Although Jiu Li wasn't a living person strictly speaking, having a fairy-like person put a bracelet on him still made him feel very reserved.

"Ah ha." At this moment, a yawn came from the stairs. Su Yang and Jiu Li looked over and saw that Lin Anlan had also woken up and come downstairs.
