"And another thing, I need a fire-attribute cultivation technique that leads directly to the Nascent Soul stage or even higher, preferably one that has some connection to the Phoenix bloodline," Xi Heng added.

Jin You pondered, "The Nascent Soul Fire Technique still exists, but it's probably not found at higher levels. As for the Phoenix Bloodline... perhaps it only exists in Changping Capital."

"Changpingjing...is it a place with a lot of spiritual energy?" Xi Heng suddenly asked.

“Naturally, that is the holy city of the Great Forest.”

"I'll go there after I advance to the Nascent Soul stage," the girl said.

"..." For some reason, Jin You suddenly fell silent.

After a while, he seemed somewhat reluctant to say, "If you wish to go, I can write a letter of recommendation for you and send it to Changping, so that you can find a cave dwelling and cultivate in peace for a long time."

"Thank you very much." Xi Heng nodded.

"She really has no sense of atmosphere," Yin Wanluan thought to herself.

"Ok?"

"She's already fallen for you at first sight after just one glance, haven't you realized it?"

……

Volume 1: Chapter 287, Playing with the Sun

After presenting Jin You with his two or three requirements, and exchanging a few casual words, Xi Heng followed her directions to the mortal realm and found a rare, damaged high-rise building in the central city to live on its top floor.

When the girl traveled there using the cultivator's flying technique, she often chatted with Yin Wanluan within her body.

In fact, since arriving in this realm called Senluo, she has rarely been alone.

No matter when or where, I can always communicate with my soulmate.

It's like they've been having a long phone conversation.

"You've already used phoenix blood to bewitch that child, yet you don't want to accept this affection?" Yin Wanluan asked, seemingly lost in love, during the conversation.

"I never intended to seduce anyone." Xi Heng shook his head.

"Who knew that transforming into human form based on a fire phoenix would grant such an ability? And who knew that the so-called blessed bloodline was actually dragon blood, and that such an effect would occur due to a series of coincidences..."

The affection she desires is not something based on seduction or blood ties.

"What a heartless and cold-hearted person." A soft laugh escaped his lips.

"I won't be heartless towards you anymore."

Yin Wanluan paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied a few seconds later, "Actually, it doesn't necessarily make any difference to me."

"How can there be no difference?"

"I exist within your mind, and can subtly sense the changes in your emotions. I can always sense that your affections are not unique," Yin Wanluan keenly observed.

"I suppose it's because you still have feelings for someone else, and more than one."

"..."

The white-haired girl blinked her eyes.

She seems to be facing a very complicated emotional problem at this moment.

Several responses formed in my mind, like a series of romantic options laid out before me.

I opened my mouth slightly, but I didn't know which words to choose.

Seeing her remain silent for a long time, Yin Wanluan let out a soft laugh: "It seems I was right... Even if that person named Jin You just now has no deep relationship with you, you still have a lover outside."

"Hmm." Xi Heng tried to feign ignorance and cover it up.

But the other party persisted, continuing:

"How many are they, and who are they? Could you introduce them to me?" Yin Wanluan comforted him, "Don't worry, I said from the beginning that I wouldn't complain. After all, your willingness to risk your life to save me and the world is the most genuine thing you did, and it won't be forgotten because of external matters."

"Ahem." Xi Heng coughed lightly twice, covering his mouth, and said, "As a cultivator, what matters most to one's heart is the path to immortality. There is no need to say more about matters of deep feeling."

"Hehe." Yin Wanluan chuckled in return, the meaning behind his two soft words unclear.

During their conversation, Xi Heng had already found the top floor of the high-rise building that Jin You had previously mentioned was suitable for her to live in.

With a slight twist of the right hand's fingers, the flight direction changes accordingly.

A moment later, the restless female voice from the inner voice continued to ring out:

“I know that the great path is of utmost importance to you, and there is another matter that is also of great importance, so true feelings are hard to arise and do not hold much weight in your heart.”

“It still accounts for a portion…” Xi Heng cracked his knuckles, wanting to refute again.

However, it is unclear how to provide evidence in this regard.

"Is that so? But I always feel that even if I were to die right now, it wouldn't stir much emotion in your heart." After much buildup, Yin Wanluan finally uttered this sentence in a deliberately casual tone.

"..."

That seems irrefutable.

Xi Heng treated it as a normal inquiry and offered a brief explanation:

"Perhaps it's because I might be able to resurrect you in the future?"

"Really?"

"There's probably a chance," Xi Heng said, without going into details.

“Then I’m not afraid of dying,” Yin Wanluan said jokingly.

"Don't be like that, life is still very precious." The girl sighed softly.

"Hmm... So you have encountered a great opportunity, even capable of bringing the dead back to life, and it is a supreme treasure of the Primordial Chaos, a true immortal artifact?"

Xi Heng casually started making things up: "Actually, I am an ancient god-emperor born from the primordial chaos at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth. In a single thought, I can create the universe, evaporate destiny, creation, cause and effect, and transcend eternity and time."

"Wow, that's amazing." The other person's tone turned into one of admiration, like a little fangirl.

"hey-hey."

"Then why do we need to cultivate and advance step by step? Isn't it possible to become an immortal or a god in an instant?" Yin Wanluan asked, adopting a girl's voice.

"Well..." Xi Heng hadn't thought of a setting yet, and said, "I'll talk about it when I've finished writing it."

"Tsk tsk." Yin Wanluan didn't say anything more.

The girl's figure flashed like red and white flames, streaking across the sky and disappearing into the high-rise room of the building she had chosen.

Its interior is elegantly decorated, fully equipped and well-organized, with ample natural light and a wide view. The furniture is mostly made of precious light gold wood, and after taking a few breaths inside, a sense of tranquility and comfort arises from the bottom of one's heart.

Although it is far inferior to the magnificent dwellings in the heavens, it is still quite nice in the mortal world.

Xi Heng was quite satisfied with his temporary residence as a place to cultivate the method of creating an external avatar.

The only drawback of this high-rise rooftop is that, looking down from the bedside, all you can see is a densely packed, shell-crater-like wasteland.

Countless fragments of ancient buildings lay scattered across the land, attracting scavengers from all directions who seized the opportunity to collect glittering glass gems and expensive metals to make a fortune.

Looking down from the dozens of stories high building, Xi Heng saw a pile of black linen clothes, some scattered and some dense, moving back and forth, carrying various glittering treasures as they shuttled through the ruins.

After opening the window, one can hear the sound of boats speeding by, and glancing to the side, one can even see a chase in progress.

Xi Heng withdrew his gaze and returned to his room.

I took a few steps closer to the soft bedding and immediately pounced on it.

She bounced slightly, then nestled into the quilt.

Then he squinted and yawned.

"Are you going to sleep?"

"...Since arriving in this realm, I haven't slept in my physical body even once." Xi Heng grabbed a pillow and placed it under his head.

Although cultivators can easily control their desire to sleep, they can use meditation instead of sleeping, which is even more efficient at restoring their energy.

However, Xi Heng still followed his long-standing habits, even though his physical body was close to the peak of the Golden Core stage.

I lay down and ignored the buzzing outside the window, closed my eyes and waited for myself to fall asleep naturally.

All worries are put aside, and the mind is as clear as the surface of a lake under the moon.

A gentle voice came from within:

"Speaking of which, our senses seem to be in sync at this moment."

"Hmm." Xi Heng was able to share the sensations when he was inside Jin You's body, so he knows how strange this feeling is.

“This body feels very comfortable,” Yin Wanluan said again.

“Yes, it’s probably because of that phoenix bloodline. I always feel relaxed, like I’m soaking in a hot spring,” Xi Heng replied.

The warmth lasts a long time, but it doesn't feel stuffy.

Instead, it evokes a sense of instinctive comfort and naturalness, like a fish entering the sea or a bird soaring into the sky.

"If we do something more comfortable, can we both experience it at the same time?" Yin Wanluan seemed quite interested, but knowing that Xi Heng was somewhat constrained by this, she didn't elaborate too much.

"..." Xi Heng's drowsiness suddenly lessened.

She raised her hand to press her temples, looking troubled, and said, "What are you thinking about now, my Holy Maiden of Pure Fire?"

"You've already guessed it, haven't you?"

"Please act like a saintess and stop thinking about these things. Also, you've been reading too many erotic novels." Xi Heng continued to hug his pillow and close his eyes.

"Just out of curiosity," Yin Wanluan said with interest. "Why don't you give it a try?"

"Let's talk about it when you've taken over this body," Xi Heng yawned. "You lustful saintess."

She remembered that Senior Sister Hongmiao had also used this title on her, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

“We’ve done even worse things…” Yin Wanluan seemed somewhat disappointed.

Xi Heng ignored him and went to sleep with his eyes closed.

After that, the other person in my mind stopped bothering me, and I slowly felt sleepiness sweep over me and fell asleep.

In a hazy state, I entered a dream.

……

When Xi Heng woke up rubbing his eyes, the night had already passed.

When you are asleep, it is daytime; when you wake up, it is still the same.

Stretching and crawling out of bed, her soft hair swayed gently against her cheeks, and the faded red and gold robe shimmered on her skin with a faint red glow, slowly reforming itself.

"Ok?"

The newly awakened girl glanced down and mumbled in a daze:

"I don't think I took my clothes off when I fell asleep, did I?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Xi Heng called out again, "Right?"

"Who knows?" Yin Wanluan was clearly still awake, and it was unclear whether she had fallen asleep with her earlier.

The white-haired girl blinked, seemingly sensing something, and crossed her arms over her chest:

"You didn't do anything bad while I was sleeping, did you?"

Although Yin Wanluan is a kind person, he becomes increasingly unpredictable when it comes to certain matters.

Xi Heng couldn't be sure if anything had happened; she had just been in a deep sleep and hadn't paid any attention to anything outside.

"No," the other person replied.

"...Then where did my clothes go?" Xi Heng didn't believe it.

"Perhaps it's because the spiritual energy receded into the body during deep sleep and spontaneously dispersed," the voice of the mind said. "After all, it was woven from phoenix fire, and it will also weaken at times."

"Really?"

With a faint smile, I said, "That's right."

The tone of his voice felt a little strange.

However, Xi Heng still chose to believe it, shaking his head and muttering to himself, "Then I'll just wear normal clothes from now on."

"It might get burned by fire."
