“Brother Qin, look…”

As he spoke, Yun Youzi grabbed the bone flute and placed it into the mustard seed pouch at his waist.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it was placed inside, the mustard seed pouch flashed, and the bone flute automatically jumped out.

Yun Youzi nodded, “Indeed. This item truly has a wondrous connection with the stars of the universe! However, I suspect this section of the bone flute might be incomplete. All parts may need to be assembled to reveal the treasure's true form. Brother Qin, keep it safe. If you’re fortunate enough to gather all the bone flutes in the future, it should not disappoint you.”

Qin Sang was moved by Yun Youzi’s words, but he also understood that fragments of such a treasure would certainly not be easy to collect. Some parts might even be destroyed and no longer exist in the world.

In that case, this treasure would remain an unattainable dream, never to reappear in the world.

Furthermore, if the bone flute couldn't be placed in the mustard seed pouch, would he have to wear it as a necklace around his neck, like the leopard?

Qin Sang muttered to himself, trying without much hope to put the bone flute into the Thousand Jin Ring.

Unexpectedly, when the bone flute was placed into the Thousand Jin Ring, it stayed securely inside and did not jump out again.

“Hmm?”

Seeing this, Qin Sang was extremely surprised and unexpected. He raised his hand to examine it.

Earlier, Yi Tiannie said the Iron Plate Finger was called the Thousand Jin Ring. He didn't know if it was an alias or its actual name.

He had assumed it was an ordinary storage magic tool, similar to a mustard seed pouch, just with more space. Now it seemed the Thousand Jin Ring was likely not that simple.

However, no matter how Qin Sang looked at it, the Thousand Jin Ring seemed to have no other function besides storage. He decided to temporarily give up on figuring it out.

At this point, Qin Sang and Yun Youzi had flown out of the stone hall and were outside the waterfall.

They were extremely cautious, ensuring there was no ambush outside the waterfall and that the demon cultivators had not yet arrived before stepping out.

“Demon cultivators are wild and untamable, and they are not harmonious among themselves. Even those under the same demon king often fight. The Shadow-Devouring Leopard, being heavily injured, might not dare to contact its kin, otherwise it would be like throwing itself into a tiger's den. However, just in case, we cannot leave by the same path we came in. I know some smaller paths that will help us bypass them as much as possible.”

Following Yun Youzi’s guidance, Qin Sang walked on water, soaring straight towards the top of the waterfall. His corpse core remained unsealed, as he needed to break the restrictions and leave the ancient medicinal garden as quickly as possible.

Along the way, Qin Sang answered all questions, relaying the information he had obtained from soul-searching to Yun Youzi.

He said with some hesitation, “Senior, the Three-Light Jade Nectar is hidden in an ancient ruin. According to Yi Tiannie's memory, there's a remnant ancient spirit formation outside that ruin, which is difficult to break through. Before my wooden bracelet shatters, it would be very hard for me to break the formation and enter on my own. I'll need your help.”

Qin Sang’s greatest fear was that even together, they wouldn't be able to break the remnant formation.

In that case, he would have to wait until he had finished helping Earl Dongyang and Chen Yan, to see if there was a chance to escape.

If he couldn't escape, he would have to wait until the Ziwei Palace reopened to retrieve the Three-Light Jade Nectar and irrigate the Nine-Illusory Heavenly Orchid.

He could afford to wait until the Ziwei Palace reopened next time, but he feared that delaying would lead to complications. Not having the treasure in hand made him uneasy.

“Wait…”

Yun Youzi asked eagerly, “You just said that ancient ruin was a ruined grand hall, and there was an ancient character inside. What kind of character was it?”

Qin Sang waved his hand, sketching the ancient character in the air.

This character was extremely ancient, yet Yun Youzi recognized it at a glance, exclaiming in surprise, “It’s indeed the character 'Ju' (Gather)! Do you remember what I said earlier about the origin of the Three-Light Jade Nectar? This is very likely the Gathering God Hall, where the God-Gathering Bowl was stored. I never imagined that not only the Xuanpu Palace but also the ruins of the Gathering God Hall would be preserved to this day; no wonder the Three-Light Jade Nectar still exists. If it is the Gathering God Hall, Brother Qin, you don't need to worry. I know how to break the remnant formation!”

Qin Sang cast a surprised glance at Yun Youzi.

Yun Youzi’s vast knowledge far exceeded his imagination.

If controlling the Demon King’s blood restriction could be explained by his mastery of restriction arts, then confidently knowing how to break a remnant formation of an ancient ruin he’d never seen before, without even looking at it, was something else entirely.

It was probably not something that could be explained by mere mastery of formations.

“If this old Daoist can get out alive this time, I will give you an explanation, Brother Qin.”

Yun Youzi said with a serious expression.

“Brother Qin, this old Daoist has an impertinent request.

“Your Nine-Illusory Heavenly Orchid is already in its final transformation. If you irrigate it now, just five drops will allow it to transform. If you can patiently wait until you reach the late-stage Core Formation, it would take at least two hundred years, but then three drops would be enough.

“If we obtain enough Three-Light Jade Nectar, could you bestow three drops upon me?

“I wish to embrace death to find life, to seek a glimmer of hope. Originally, my chances of success were only ten percent. With the aid of three drops of Three-Light Jade Nectar, it could increase to at least forty percent.

“To survive, I must shamelessly ask this of you, Brother Qin.”

Since it concerned Yun Youzi’s life, Qin Sang immediately became serious upon hearing this.

He said without hesitation, “Senior, you have helped me so much throughout our journey. Without your assistance, I would not have been able to obtain any of these treasures, including the Three-Light Jade Nectar. They should be considered our shared spoils of war. Even if you hadn't asked, I would have offered it to you. Take as much as you need; your healing and breakthrough are paramount. As for the Nine-Illusory Heavenly Orchid, if there is Three-Light Jade Nectar, there will be ten, a hundred, or even a thousand lights. I refuse to believe that with four hundred years of lifespan after forming my Core, I won't find a solution!”

Since the Nine-Illusory Heavenly Orchid was already exposed, Qin Sang directly stated, “When the time comes, if I need to refine the Tribulation-Overcoming Pill, I will still need your help, Senior.”

Directly consuming the Nine-Illusory Heavenly Orchid had no effect; it needed to be refined into a Tribulation-Overcoming Pill.

But Qin Sang was completely ignorant of alchemy, and it would be difficult for him to also cultivate the path of alchemy in the future.

He had been wondering for a long time whom to find for alchemy in the future.

The Tribulation-Overcoming Pill was so precious that it was difficult to trust strangers with its refinement.

Yun Youzi came from the Taiyi Pill Sect, and he had demonstrated superb alchemy skills when refining the Profound-Pattern Harmony Pill back then. They had also shared hardships multiple times and forged a deep friendship, making him the best candidate.

Yun Youzi patted Qin Sang’s shoulder, remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, “Brother Qin, I will engrave your kindness in my heart. Three drops are quite enough for me; more would be of no benefit. Rest assured, I will put forth my full effort when refining the pill! However, after the Nine-Illusory Heavenly Orchid transforms into the Heavenly Illusion Orchid, refining the Tribulation-Overcoming Pill becomes even more difficult. To ensure absolute success, this old Daoist might have to wait until after forming my Nascent Soul.”

Given Yun Youzi’s alchemy skills, the fact that he would only dare to attempt it after forming his Nascent Soul showed how difficult refining the Tribulation-Overcoming Pill was.

Qin Sang certainly couldn’t refine it himself.

He had great confidence in Yun Youzi’s talent. After healing his hidden injuries, Yun Youzi would certainly rise like a dragon, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would definitely form his Nascent Soul earlier than Qin Sang.

“After the Nine-Illusory Heavenly Orchid transforms into the Heavenly Illusion Orchid, how many Tribulation-Overcoming Pills can be refined?” Qin Sang asked curiously.

“Naturally, only one, and its medicinal effect will be best.”

Yun Youzi said proudly, “Don't worry, Brother Qin. This old Daoist has only two major tribulations in his life; everything else is negligible. Forming a Nascent Soul, for this old Daoist, is as easy as reaching into a pouch to retrieve something!”
