Chapter 91

"Red, red..." Qiduoduo muttered, "Ah, what am I seeing?"

Rong Kaixuan turned his head and carefully examined the spirit body fighter he had condensed, nodding and affirming, "Duoduo, it's right, it's red."

As if awakened by these words, Qiduoduo suddenly turned her head, her gaze toward Rong Kaixuan instantly changing. However, in the end, her little mouth pouted slightly, and her eyes filled with faint tears.

Rong Kaixuan was startled and quickly said, "Duoduo, my dear Duoduo, what's wrong with you?"

Duoduo pouted, clearly angry, and remained silent despite Rong Kaixuan's repeated questioning.

Rong Kaixuan was so anxious that he scratched his head and ears, at a loss.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't guess what the little girl was thinking at this moment.

Qiduoduo's birth was far beyond his imagination, and this little girl had inherited the best genes from her parents. From the moment she began to study the Way of Spirits, she was praised by countless people.

And her talent did not disappoint anyone. From the day she started learning the Way of Spirits, the title of unparalleled talent always accompanied her.

But at this moment, she finally realized a fact.

It turned out that in this world, there was still someone whose talent surpassed hers.

For the highly self-regarded Qiduoduo, this was a huge blow. She thought resentfully that if it weren't for her brother, she would definitely devise a plan to get rid of this guy.

With her knowledge and means, if she really went all out to plot against someone, there was a great chance of success.

However, looking at the anxious face of the big brother who was trying every means to make her laugh, the dark thoughts in her heart immediately melted away.

"Chuckle..."

Qiduoduo suddenly burst into a smile.

Rong Kaixuan was taken aback and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although he still didn't understand why the little girl suddenly shed tears and then burst into laughter, since she was smiling, he felt relieved.

He reached out and roughly rubbed her head, saying, "Little one, you scared me to death."

In theory, the two of them had known each other for a short time. However, the life-and-death experiences in the jungle had made their relationship extraordinary.

Moreover, Duoduo had made a miraculous ointment and guided his cultivation methods.

Therefore, Rong Kaixuan's concern for her was genuine.

Qiduoduo covered her face with her hands, but through the gaps between her fingers, a pair of bright black eyes could be seen darting around.

"Embarrassing," Qiduoduo called out, and with a swift turn, she ran towards the door.

Rong Kaixuan was taken aback and instinctively reached out, grabbing her, "Duoduo, what are you thinking?"

Qiduoduo did not take her hands away from her face, and she said in a muffled voice, "Brother, how did you make the human-grade spirit body fighter?"

Rong Kaixuan's eyes flickered, "This is a human-grade spirit body fighter?"

"Yes," Qiduoduo finally lowered her hands, looking helpless, "Can't you even see that?"

Rong Kaixuan chuckled, his excitement hard to hide, "It's my first time making it, so it's normal that I can't see it."

Qiduoduo huffed, "You haven't told me how you succeeded in refining it."

Rong Kaixuan widened his eyes, puzzled, "Duoduo, didn't you teach me? Try to condense the spirit energy core and make the core strong before absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

Qiduoduo also widened her eyes, "Brother, can you really do it just by knowing the method?"

"Of course," Rong Kaixuan said matter-of-factly, "Such a simple thing, why can't it be done?"

Qiduoduo's words were choked in her throat, unable to continue.

But in her heart, she silently wailed, knowing the theory doesn't mean you can do it. What kind of logic is this?

Everyone knows that in a fight, if you punch at twice the speed and twice the strength of your opponent, you can easily knock them down.

But to make your speed and strength twice that of your opponent is an incredibly difficult task.

Knowing the theory and putting it into practice are two completely different things.

However, looking at Rong Kaixuan's expression, she felt a bit confused. Could it be that condensing the spirit energy core and compressing the power of pills are actually very easy?

***

Qiduoduo and Lin Yulan, being Rong Kaixuan's guests, were naturally treated with great hospitality within the family.

Moreover, Rong vaguely guessed something, knowing that their safe return was partly due to these two. Therefore, under his arrangement, the two of them stayed in a not-too-small courtyard.

Qiduoduo returned to the courtyard in a sullen mood, her feelings more complex than ever.

It was an indescribable sense of loss, but in the midst of the loss, there was also joy and relief.

Brother is so amazing, truly worthy of being the one most like Father.

Lin Yulan poured a cup of tea and quietly entered, saying softly, "Miss, please have some tea."

Qiduoduo responded, "Nanny, Brother really does resemble Father."

Lin Yulan's brows furrowed, thinking to herself, if Master heard this, would he be so angry that he would spit blood?

Seemingly noticing the disapproving look on Lin Yulan's face, Qiduoduo defended herself, "Nanny, today I told Brother the basic principles of the Way of Ten Thousand Methods. Guess what happened?"

Lin Yulan's face changed dramatically, "Miss, the Way of Ten Thousand Methods is Master's life's work. How can you teach it to outsiders?"

Qiduoduo waved her hand, "Nanny, don't worry. I didn't teach him the cultivation method, just the principle of condensing the spirit energy core." Her eyes sparkled, "But after knowing this principle, Brother immediately made a spirit body fighter talisman and succeeded in making a human-grade talisman."

"What?" Lin Yulan exclaimed in disbelief.

Qiduoduo stomped her foot in anger, "Nanny, do you think I would lie to you about this?"

Lin Yulan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Miss, he is only a mid-stage Spirit Scholar. Being able to refine a spirit body fighter talisman is already quite remarkable. As for a human-grade talisman..."

Qiduoduo sighed, "I know you won't believe it unless you see it with your own eyes. But I've already said, he is like Father, one of the world's top geniuses."

Lin Yulan was silent for a moment, her brows furrowed, then suddenly said, "Miss, my injuries will heal in at most three months. Why don't we stay here for three months and then leave?"

Qiduoduo was surprised, "Why?" She paused, "I promised Brother I would make him elixirs for life."

Lin Yulan's face changed, "Miss, what is your status? How can you..."

Qiduoduo shook her head, "Nanny, I am now just a little girl who has lost her home and been taken in by Brother."

Lin Yulan smiled bitterly, "Miss..."

Qiduoduo stepped forward, grabbed Lin Yulan's arm, and shook it gently, "Nanny, since we left home, you have been risking your life to take care of me. I am very grateful."

Lin Yulan hurriedly said, "Miss, you are too kind. My life belongs to the Master. Not being able to ensure your safety is my sin."

Qiduoduo shook her head slowly, "Nanny, we are not the same as before. Before Father returns and finds us, we are just a pair of people in distress." She tilted her head, her expression half-smiling, half-sad, "During this time, let me do what I want to do."

Lin Yulan opened her mouth, then finally nodded, sighing silently.

She had full confidence in the Master; he would definitely come back to find the Miss. So, during this time, let the Miss do as she pleases.

***

After sending Duoduo away, Rong Kaixuan did not idle. He closed the door and began refining talismans again.

However, this time, he was refining spirit body fighter talismans with grades.

Of course, the difficulty of refining human-grade spirit body fighter talismans far exceeded that of ordinary talismans. To summon such a spirit body required more than three times the ability.

Even with Rong Kaixuan's full effort, including the spirit energy surrounding the sphere, he could only make four human-grade talismans before he was exhausted.

This efficiency was far inferior to that of first-grade special talismans.

However, compared to before, Rong Kaixuan had more spirit user-specific elixirs.

Especially the dozens of Xuan Yang Pills seized from Gu Wen, which he treasured greatly.

After his spirit energy and abilities were exhausted, he would swallow a Xuan Yang Pill and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his losses.

With the help of the elixirs, his recovery speed was much faster than before, nearly doubling his speed.

For several days, he hid in his room, spending a large amount of time refining talismans. In addition, he diligently cultivated true qi and spirit energy, never neglecting to improve his strength.

One day, while he was fully immersed in cultivation, he suddenly felt a sensation.

His brows furrowed slightly, and he calmed his mind.

He was no longer unfamiliar with this sensation. It came from the transformation of a certain spirit body, which released a different aura than usual, causing his heart to stir.

His mind sank, entering the sphere.

He immediately noticed that among the five major spirit bodies, the wood spirit body was emitting intense light, making it hard to look directly at it.

Hesitating for a moment, he immediately focused his mind on it.

Instantly, Rong Kaixuan's mind seemed to cross countless miles, arriving in a distant deep mountain.

Looking around, Rong Kaixuan's perspective switched to that of the wood spirit body.

At this moment, the spirit body was sitting cross-legged under an ancient tree that was thousands of years old. What amazed him even more was that the spirit body was emitting endless green light, binding itself tightly to the ancient tree.
