  But only ten minutes had passed and Jun Wu Xie had suddenly changed?

  Even Poppy was rather shocked by it.

  “Had Mistress discovered anything in the Serene Spirit Tower?” Poppy asked as he composed himself. The change that had come over Jun Wu Xie must have something to do with the Serene Spirit Tower. Any form of advancement for a spirit body was highly advantageous to them but Jun Wu Xie had only been in the Serene Spirit Tower for a little while before she came out from there. The only plausible conclusion could only be because Jun Wu Xie had discovered something that gave her reason to be concerned and that was why she had come out from the tower so quickly.

  Jun Wu Xie lowered her head to look at her own legs that Little Lotus had just bumped himself into. She reached her hand out and found that she was able to tug at the clothes on her body. The feeling of having regained her sense of touch felt so unreal, a feeling that felt as if she had not experienced for a very long time.

  “The Serene Spirit Tower is not a good place to be in. That Wu Jiu definitely has some evil intentions behind this.” Jun Wu Xie lifted her head up, speaking aloud the very same conclusion Poppy and Little Lotus had come to make in their minds.

  “What does that mean? What’s wrong with the Serene Spirit Tower?” Poppy asked as his eyebrow lifted. The Serene Spirit Tower does not permit any non human spirits to enter and hence, he knew nothing about what’s inside the Serene Spirit Tower.

  Jun Wu Xie shook her head. “We’ll discuss this when we get back.”

  She was in a hurry to leave the Serene Spirit Tower not because she was bothered by all that intense power of the spirit but rather…..

  Jun Wu Xie returned back to the forest they were staying at with Little Lotus and Poppy. Before she got back to her own treehouse, she saw Qiao Chu, Hua Yao and the rest of the gang coming out from her unit to huddle together and discussing something with their heads head close.

  Qiao Chu spotted Jun Wu Xie from afar and his face immediately lit up with joy as he went forward to welcome her.

  “Little Xie! Let me show you something great!” Immediately upon finishing what he said, he did not even wait for Jun Wu Xie to reply when he just squatted down and stuck a finger out. He then poked at a tiny little twig but his half translucent fingertip passed right through the twig. Qiao Chu did not give up but continued to calm and compose himself before he tried a few times in succession.

  Finally, his fingertip did not pass through the twig this time but lightly pushed against the twig. Hua Yao and the others had already walked over to them and were standing there calm and unruffled as they watched Qiao Chu perform his new trick.

  Qiao Chu then focused with all his might to push his finger onto the twig and who would have thought but the twig actually snapped back up!

  Qiao Chu did not notice anything amiss as he let out a unrestrained guffaw and said in a voice filled with excitement: “Bwahaha! How is that! ? I followed the method Big Brother Wu Yao told us about and I practiced it for an entire afternoon before I was finally able to touch something. Hahaha! Ain’t I just super good at this?”

  Qiao Chu stood up, all prepared to receive praise from his companions. But the praise and congratulations he imagined in his mind did not come as he saw Hua Yao and all the others just standing there, suddenly fallen silent.

  “What? Is every single one of you so shocked you’ve all become dumbfounded? Bwahaha! I have taken the lead over all of you this time! Don’t you all agree?” Qiao Chu had his head tilted slightly back, looking highly complacent. Hua Yao and the others were still not able to touch anything but he could. This made Qiao Chu who was always lagging slightly behind the whole gang have the opportunity to brag proudly for once. He was just about to laugh at Fei Yan and the others for their stupidity when he suddenly noticed that the stares of Fei Yan and the others seemed to pass right through him, and were instead fixed upon Jun Wu Xie behind him instead.

  “Can all of you not be so petty? Is it that difficult to admit defeat?” Qiao Chu did not understand it and he went on to say sulkily, before he turned himself around intending to seek praise from Jun Wu Xie instead. But when he turned around and saw Jun Wu Xie clearly, his entire being completely froze with shock.

  The twig that Qiao Chu had snapped off and flew through the air was at that moment firmly grasped in Jun Wu Xie’s hand!

  Qiao Chu’s face that had been filled with glee immediately crumbled into despair before Jun Wu Xie. His mouth hung wide open, his face contorted up in disbelief as he stared at Jun Wu Xie, like his eyes were going to stare two holes through Jun Wu Xie’s body.

  “Little Xie….. How….. How did you…..” Qiao Chu was at a loss for words. So filled with smugness before, and now looking like a little snot faced kid boasting of his height before a bunch of adults.

  Why must it be like this! ?

  Qiao Chu took a hit to his self esteem like he had never felt before. He had thought that he would finally be able to take the lead over his group of companions and be the bellwether of the flock for once.

  Not knowing that while he was secretly feeling so smug with himself for being able to move a branch with his finger, Jun Wu Xie had so casually just gripped the entire twig in her hand!

  Jun Wu Xie looked at Qiao Chu’s completely devastated face and she was slightly taken aback as she turned her eyes to look at the twig in her hand. This twig had been snapped off and sent flying by Qiao Chu earlier straight towards her face. She had merely raised her hand to block by reflex…..

  “Little Xie. Be honest with us. Has Big Brother Wu Yao given you private lesson?” Qiao Chu’s face was mournful.

  “No.” Jun Wu Xie tossed the twig to the ground, shaking her head a little helplessly.

  Jun Wu Yao had never been in a spirit body form before and hence his understanding of things about spirit bodies was not all that thorough.

  “Then how did you…..” Qiao Chu could not finish the sentence. He pointed at the twig on the ground, and then pointed at Jun Wu Xie’s hand, the expression on his face looking like he was about to burst out in tears.

  Jun Wu Xie felt that her head was starting to hurt.

  Hua Yao stepped forward right at that moment and looked at Qiao Chu who was drawing circles in the ground in despair before he turned to look at Jun Wu Xie.

  “Little Xie, is your spirit almost about to attain a solid body?” The point that Hua Yao and Qiao Chu were focusing on was completely different. Although he was shocked that Jun Wu Xie was already able to touch things, what he was more concerned about was Jun Wu Xie’s spirit that was already almost completely solid.

  If he did not remember it wrongly, when he saw Jun Wu Xie cultivating in her room earlier, her spirit soul had been half translucent like all of them but in just half an afternoon, how had she managed to change so completely?

  If he did not know that Jun Wu Xie had come into the Spirit World at the same time as them, he would have thought that Jun Wu Xie had come here before them for a rather long period.

  “It’s a long story. Come inside my place and I’ll tell you slowly.” Jun Wu Xie said after some consideration, thinking that she should tell Hua Yao and the others about the Serene Spirit Tower and Nalan Shan.

  Hua Yao nodded and the several companions followed Jun Wu Xie to walk towards her house. Only Qiao Chu was still squatting mournfully upon the ground and it not till Hua Yao and the others had walked a distance away that he suddenly raised his head up, to discover that Jun Wu Xie and the others had already walked such a far distance away from him.

  [Not even a word of consolation!]

  Qiao Chu felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole wide world! !

 
“Dumb Qiao, are you coming or not?” Hua Yao paused a step, and turned his head to glance at the pitiful worm looking so abandoned before he said in a cold tone.

  “Coming! Right away!” Qiao Chu shot to his feet with a whoosh, and went flying over to Hua Yao in a dead run, his face aggrieved. “Brother Hua treats me the best!”

  Hua Yao rolled his eyes at him.

  “Are you saying that I ill treat you?” Jun Wu Xie suddenly turned her head around, her cold clear eyes sweeping over the figure of Qiao Chu.

  Qiao Chu shivered.

  “No! It’s not that! Little Xie is always so nice to me!”

  Jun Wu Xie arched up an eyebrow, a corner of her mouth lifting up with a smile.

  [Even when in such a foreign and unfamiliar environment, the feeling of still having one’s close and familiar companions around…..]

  [Is just great.]

  Returning back her house, Jun Wu Xie saw no sign of Jun Wu Yao, and curiosity rose up in her heart.

  Where had that great demon lord gone running to to deliver disaster upon the Spirit World’s citizens?

  “Eh? Big Brother Wu Yao is not in?” Qiao Chu stretched his head around to look, thinking it a little strange to not see Jun Wu Yao in there.

  Jun Wu Xie already did not find that strange anymore. She went forward to find herself a chair to sit down. The feeling of having regained one’s sense of touch almost made her forget that she was in spiritual form, with everything like when she was still human, exactly the same.

  Raising her eyes up to look at her little bunch of companions, she was just about to say “grab a seat” when she saw the shocked expressions on the faces of Qiao Chu and the others where she then fell silent.

  Looking at those few imps right before her, their eyes staring at her like they were seeing a dinosaur!

  “Hey, she can really sit.” Fei Yan said in surprise.

  “That’s great!” Rong Ruo nodded.

  “I also wanna sit down…..” Qiao Chu’s face was mournful.

  A corner of Jun Wu Xie’s mouth twitched. After being turned into spiritual bodies, she had not thought that the simple act of sitting on a chair would draw the envy of this bunch of fellas.

  [Why did it feel so strange?]

  Jun Wu Xie cleared her throat and the little black cat that had been plopped on Poppy’s shoulder all this while then jumped onto Jun Wu Xie’s lap, going back to its familiar spot, seeking to rest comfortably.

  That action, just drew a tearful stare from Qiao Chu.

  Jun Wu Xie felt her headache worsening and she had no choice but to ignore Qiao Chu’s “pair of eyes that could talk”, to look at the rest of the gang with a serious gaze.

  “I went to the Serene Spirit Tower today.”

  “Serene Spirit Tower?” The faces of the youths look bewildered. Their knowledge of the Spirit World was good as zilch.

  “The Serene Spirit Tower was built by a human spirit called Wu Jiu after he discussed it with the Spirit Lord…..” Jun Wu Xie went on to explain the origins of the Serene Spirit Towers to Qiao Chu and the others, including the situation inside those towers.

  When Qiao Chu and the gang finished hearing Jun Wu Xie out, they were all properly astounded.

  “You went walking one round in the Serene Spirit Tower and then became like this?” Qiao Chu asked as he clutched his hand over his chest, clearly struck quite hard by that realization.

  Jun Wu Xie nodded.

  Fan Zhuo rubbed at his chin and looked rather thoughtful as he said: “Based on what Little Xie said, in the Serene Spirit Towers, one didn’t even need to cultivate and they would be able to gain an endless stream of power of the spirit. There is always a specific rule to everything and the situation in the Serene Spirit Towers seem to have exceeded any such principles. I would think that Little Xie’s concerns about the place is rightfully valid as such a maniacal surge of power of the spirit is definitely not safe.”

  Anybody would yearn for strong power of the spirit. But blindly pursuing powers that one did not understand was just courting death.

  “You said that you discovered Spirit Reinforcement in the Serene Spirit Tower?” Hua Yao asked with an eyebrow raised up, as he looked at Jun Wu Xie.

  Jun Wu Xie had mentioned Spirit Reinforcement to her companions before but they knew nothing about it. Only Fan Zhuo who had a slight grasp of being a Ring Forger knew a little about the spell runes used in Spirit Reinforcement. But Fan Zhuo only knew three sets of spell runes that was imparted to him by his mother and as for what kind of effect those runes gave exactly, was not entirely very clear to him.

  Although none of them knew exactly what those Spirit Reinforcement runes really were, but the kind of astonishing effects Jun Wu Xie’s Spirit Reinforcement gave was clear for all of them to see.

  “It should be. Although I am not able to be clear about everything at this moment, but I am definitely able to recognize some of those runes.” Jun Wu Xie nodded as she said. The number of runes she had seen in her past life had been so many and they were still not complete. Moreover, among those that Jun Wu Xie remembered, not all of them had been experimented with yet.

  “Oh? Then what did you see then?” Fei Yan asked curiously.

  “Fusion.” Jun Wu Xie said.

  “Fusion?” Fei Yan was taken aback.

  Jun Wu Xie nodded her head slightly. “Fusion is one of the Spirit Reinforcement spell runes I experimented with before. All my Spirit Reinforcement runes are first written on the ground before Little Black puts it to use. But when I wrote out fusion, something strange happened.”

  Jun Wu Xie had written it on the ground back then. But before the little black cat had been able to step on it, the soil below the Spirit Reinforcement runes had suddenly quaked tremendously together with a circle of rocks surrounding it. And in an instant, those rocks had been sucked in to adhere onto the soil, where right thereafter, they were smashed to meld together with the soil.

  Hence, Jun Wu Xie had named that set of Spirit Reinforcement runes as Fusion. But because the effects of that Spirit Reinforcement was strange, Jun Wu Xie had never used it.

  But on the twelfth level of the Serene Spirit Tower, under that massive ball of Spirit Fire, she discovered that one set of runes.

  Fusion. An extremely dangerous Spirit Reinforcement spell. Why had it appeared in the Serene Spirit Tower?

  “Besides fusion, I also discovered other kinds of Spirit Reinforcement, but only that they were not anything exceptional.” Jun Wu Xie was initially just curious. But when she saw the fusion spell, she realized the kind of danger that could possibly exist within the Serene Spirit Tower.

  A place like that, was definitely not suitable for spirit bodies to cultivate in.

  Jun Wu Xie’s words caused shock to register on the faces of Qiao Chu and the others. They were seemingly starting to realize, that a certain kind of danger was hidden here and spreading in the Spirit World.

  “Although that place was highly effective in raising one’s power of the spirit, but I do not suggest that you guys go there. Instead of going to such a dangerous place to cultivate, why not go seek Nalan Shan instead.” Jun Wu Xie did not have a favourable opinion of the Serene Spirit Tower at all and from the way she saw it, the power of the spirit in the Serene Spirit Tower was not being passively absorbed by the spirit bodies who go there but was in fact spontaneously entering the spirit bodies on its own. Even in Mount Fu Yao where spirit power had been most abundant, no one had felt any discomfort from the robust presence of spirit energy, but Meng Yi Liang’s reaction when he stepped up onto the twelfth level had startled Jun Wu Xie to become aware of that fact.

  Such power that entered a spirit body on its o
wn without even needing to cultivate was something that could not be controlled, which also meant that regardless whether the spirit body was willing or not, or whether they were able to withstand that kind of power, they would still surge and rush in. The resulting end when one was unable to withstand the power would be terrifying.

  “Hearing you say that, I have completely lost all interest in going to the Serene Spirit Tower.” Qiao Chu said as he blew out a breath. He was very envious of Jun Wu Xie’s sudden leap of advancement, he treasured his life more.

  “Where is that Nalan Shan you speak of? If there’s time, we can all go take a look together.” Hua Yao then said.

  The reactions of her little companions set Jun Wu Xie’s heart at ease. None of them were being swayed by the suspicious might the Serene Spirit Tower provided.

  “Little Lotus and Poppy knows where Nalan Shan is. We’ll go tomorrow.” Jun Wu Xie said.

  “Sure! Then we’ll go continue with our cultivation now then.” Fan Zhuo said with a nod of his head.

  The companions chatted for a while more and then dispersed to go their own separate ways.

  Jun Wu Xie continued to cultivate in her own room but she noticed that the little black cat seemed tired and lethargic. After they came back, it had been lying there throughout, and when Jun Wu Xie was cultivating, it just laid there limply.

  And such a situation had never occurred before.

  The little black cat’s spirit was fused with hers and based on that reason, its discomfort should be something that Jun Wu Xie would be able to feel but without knowing why, when Jun Wu Xie attempted to say something to the little black cat, the little black cat just merely raised its eyes to look at Jun Wu Xie sleepily, looking like it was in agony.
