In the cottage, Rain Master Luo sat at the table, facing a mirror with some cosmetics laid out before her.
Beside her stood Song Qianqiu, his long hair flowing back like a waterfall. He held an eyebrow pencil in his hand, carefully shaping Rain Master Luo's brows.
"Senior Sister Yu, a woman can't rely solely on her beauty. In just a few years, she'll age and lose her charm. Otherwise, men wouldn't prefer young women. You need to learn how to dress yourself; combined with your natural grace, you would be a great beauty."
As Song Qianqiu spoke, he placed the eyebrow pencil down and turned the mirror toward Rain Master Luo so she could see herself.
Tears glistened in Rain Master Luo's eyes as she had never realized she could look this beautiful.
Her eyebrows were slender, and the corners of her eyes were rosy. With her slightly red lips, she couldn't help but smile shyly.
Song Qianqiu remarked, "You do look beautiful indeed. You are much more pleasing to the eye than most women, but still, your age is a bit advanced. Looks are partly innate, but maintenance is crucial. Although we cultivators possess abilities to counter aging, we will eventually grow old and die. The only difference is that we can use Taoist Arts or elixirs to rejuvenate ourselves."
"Do you have any methods to maintain one's appearance?" Rain Master Luo asked instinctively.
"There are no methods in this world that can preserve one's looks indefinitely. Even The Art of Reviving Withered Trees in the Jade Pool cannot achieve that. Yaochi Supreme maintains her youthful appearance due to her immense power, having reached the level of altering her form and bones. Additionally, it’s because of the essence of nature."
Song Qianqiu continued, taking out a small vial filled with jade-colored liquid from his robe. "This is the Yaochi Sacred Liquid I obtained from the underground chamber in Yaochi. This substance is the foundation for the Yaochi Saintess's timeless beauty; it can keep your appearance youthful and even make you look significantly younger. Your skin will be smooth and delicate, as if it could be broken by a gentle touch. I heard that Yang Hao once received some miraculous elixir that transformed his appearance from over thirty to sixteen or seventeen within six months. Although this Yaochi Sacred Liquid may not be as potent, its effects won't be lacking—though it's a bit scarce."
He placed the Yaochi Sacred Liquid on the table and added, "I’ve heard there are several sects and within the Cave of Blessings that possess such items."
Rain Master Luo picked up the sacred liquid from the table and rubbed it lightly between her fingers. "What do you need me to do?"
A smile crept onto Song Qianqiu's lips as he replied, "Kill someone."
"Who?"
“Yang Long. Destroy his new physical body and hand over his Soul and Golden Core to me.”
Rain Master Luo hesitated for a moment after hearing Song Qianqiu's words and said, “Alright, I will bring him to you. How to deal with him is up to you. But from now on, we owe each other nothing.”
“It’s a deal,” Song Qianqiu replied.
At this moment, in a certain Courtyard on the southern border of the Central Plains, Huzi was practicing martial arts, sweating profusely. Meanwhile, on the stone platform behind the courtyard, Five was sitting in meditation when suddenly a strong golden light burst forth from him. Amidst the golden radiance, a golden figure emerged, resembling Five Ordinary but appearing more petite and adorable.
The golden figure looked at Five, jumped onto his head, and then flew into the air. Just then, a large hand caught the golden figure. The golden figure screamed and immediately struggled, but no matter how hard it tried, it could not break free from the grip of the large hand.
Yang Sanqian descended and pressed the golden figure into Five's body. Five opened his eyes, drenched in cold sweat.
“Brother Yang, thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn’t know where my Nascent Soul would have gone,” Five said, still shaken.
Yang Sanqian replied, “This is the consequence of rapidly increasing your power. In just three months, you went from the Core Formation Stage to the Nascent Soul Realm. You don’t yet fully understand the Core Formation Stage, let alone how to master the Nascent Soul Realm. If your Nascent Soul wanders too far and gets caught by a powerful opponent, it’s all over for you.”
“But why doesn’t my Nascent Soul listen to me?” Five asked.
Yang Sanqian explained, “Your realm is unstable; it fluctuates too much. Although your Nascent Soul belongs to you, it has its own consciousness. This is what Taoists refer to as the Dao Body. To control your Nascent Soul, you need to ensure that its realm aligns with your physical body; otherwise, it will always think you are not its true self.”
“Fine, it seems I can only practice day and night without sleep,” Five sighed.
Suddenly, a scream from the front courtyard startled them. Yang Sanqian and Five exchanged glances and rushed toward the front courtyard, where they found Huzi staring blankly at the empty room.
“What’s wrong, Huzi?” May Day asked while looking at the vacant bed. “Where’s Iron Bull?”
“I just heard the door creak open and thought it was you. When I turned around, Iron Bull was gone,” Huzi replied.
“Is someone really stealing Iron Bull's looks?” May Day said with a look of disbelief.
“What are you talking about, Five? That kid is eating in the kitchen,” Jiyao replied.
Upon hearing this, everyone rushed to the kitchen, only to find that the food meant for four people had been completely devoured by Iron Bull, who was busy retrieving steamed buns from a large pot.
“Iron Bull?” Five called out.
“Hey!” Iron Bull responded, turning to face them. “You all are up so early!”
Five asked, “Do you know me?”
“Of course I do, what’s up, Brother Five?” Iron Bull replied.
“And what about me?” Huzi chimed in.
“I know you too! Lu Wu, Li Huzi, and also the boss's parents,” Iron Bull said confidently. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead. “Oh no, I forgot about the boss!”
With that, Iron Bull stormed out, grabbing the large Iron Hammer from the corner. Wu and Huzi quickly stopped him and asked, “What are you doing?”
“Yang Family is going to kill the boss in front of the servants; we need to save him!” Iron Bull exclaimed.
“It’s okay; he only lost part of his memory,” Wudao reassured Iron Bull. “It’s been over three months since everything happened.”
“Where is the boss?” Iron Bull asked anxiously.
“Don’t worry; he’s fine,” Huzi assured him.
"Everything is fine, let's eat!" Iron Bull tossed aside the Iron Hammer and walked toward the dining table.
Jiyao said, "There's no food left, just a few dry buns. Let's go out to eat at a restaurant."
Jiyao looked at Yang Sanqian, who nodded but had a puzzled expression. He placed a hand on Iron Bull's shoulder. Dao Qi flowed into him for inspection, and he was slightly surprised, saying, "Core Formation Stage mid-phase?"
"How is that possible? Iron Bull was in the late Divine Transformation Realm before. He was unconscious for three months and advanced faster than I did?" Huzi said, looking utterly distressed.
Yang Sanqian asked, "Besides the Mangshan Sect's Chemical Martial Arts, have you learned any other Cultivation Methods?"
Iron Bull replied, "Mangshan Dao Jing. Mangshan Sword Technique, but I don't know how to use a sword, so I abandoned it for the hammer. Other than that, there's nothing else."
Yang Sanqian speculated, "Could it be because of the Chemical Martial Arts? It allows him to temporarily store the attacks he receives as Dao Qi within his body, so even while unconscious, it's like he's cultivating without needing a Guardian. Unknowingly, he might have formed a Golden Elixir."
Wudao chimed in, "Fools have their own blessings; quickly check what rank your Golden Elixir is."
Iron Bull complied and quietly circulated his Dao Qi. A golden light emanated from his abdomen. A golden orb faintly glowed into view. Yang Sanqian remarked, "It's a Seventh-Rank Golden Elixir."
Five gasped in astonishment, "That's incredible! Just like me."
"Shut up; we're going out for buns," Huzi said disdainfully to Five before calling Iron Bull to follow him out the door.
Later, in Yin Mountain Zhengxin Hall, Yang Long completed his cultivation and awakened from meditation. He looked at his hands and said, "I still feel a bit awkward; I need to find Dongfang Yuqing quickly. Now that I'm already in the late Golden Elixir stage, it won't be long before I become the first perfect Nascent Soul in a thousand years. The Dao Fruit formed by a perfect Nascent Soul will surely lead to the comprehension of Divine Ability."
Yang Long laughed heartily.
Outside the door, a group of maidservants waited. When Yang Long opened the door, they immediately knelt down and dared not raise their heads.
"Go notify the Elder Hall and send a few people to me. I need to go to the Central Plains to personally capture Dongfang Yuqing," Yang Long said.
"Young Master, your Soul and physical body are still merging; it is not advisable to use Dao Qi," one of the maidservants replied.
Yang Long looked at the maidservant and said, "Lift your head."
The maidservant raised her head, her face showing shyness.
Yang Long asked, "What is your name that you care so much about me?"
The maidservant replied, "Replying to the Young Master, my name is Zhang..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Yang Long kicked her in the mouth, sending her flying. She crashed against the stone steps and died on the spot, while the other maidservants bowed their heads to the floor, not daring to move.
"Too self-indulgent," Yang Long scoffed as he walked toward the hall's exit.
