There were eight immortal arts.
Pills, talismans, weapon formations, and witchcraft.
They were: pills, talismans, weapon refinement, formations, casting witchcraft, witchcraft, and puppetry.
The first four were more commonly used. Basically, every orthodox cultivator would gradually learn and master them as they cultivated.
The last four, on the other hand, weren't all that impressive, so only those with crooked paths would focus on them.
No one was perfect, including Chen Xi.
In online gaming terms, Chen Xi was a top laner who focused on head-on combat.
Although he knew a little bit of miscellaneous skills, they were merely summoner skills.
When it came to weapon refinement, alchemy, formations, and so on, the support healer was clearly the true professional.
Hence, Chen Xi's head hurt …
The Heaven-Bearing Efficacious Floating Mirror was a connate peerless treasure.
Chen Xi didn't know much about connate peerless treasures.
It was said that only Tribulation Ascension cultivators who'd undergone the baptism of heavenly tribulations could refine their own personal treasures with the connate true essence in their bodies. Only then could they truly refine a connate peerless treasure.
From this, one could see just how rare connate peerless treasures were.
It was for this reason that Chen Xi, who'd only been in the Soul Formation stage, didn't have the right to come into contact with a connate peerless treasure.
Of course, even if Chen Xi had obtained a connate peerless treasure by chance, that didn't mean he could use it for himself.
The logic was actually quite simple. It was like a poor bastard suddenly obtaining the keys to a Ferrari.
He probably wouldn't even know how to start the engine after getting in …
There were many types of treasures. Judging from how the Soul Mirror had been activated a few times, it was most likely a support-type treasure.
Support-Type treasures were usually refined for specific situations and weren't very practical. Hence, after the Grand Pure Divine Ancestor passed away, the Soul Mirror had been placed in the Imperial Hall to collect dust.
The Soul Mirror was far beyond what Chen Xi could grasp. Hence, he couldn't find the correct way to activate it after flipping the mirror over and over again for an entire night.
Speaking of which, it was strange …
After Chen Xi brought out his sister-in-law's soul, the Soul Mirror suddenly shut down like a phone with no battery.
After that, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to let his spirit enter it again.
It was as if the Soul Mirror had been reduced to an ordinary item, and the space of his consciousness had been completely shut off.
He couldn't very well try to break open the Soul Mirror, could he?
Magic treasures needed to be recharged.
Soul Mirror had created a white hole to engulf a large world, then forcibly reversed the orbits of the nine planets, thereby expending a lot of energy. Was that why it needed some time to recover?
Chen Xi pondered for a long time before coming to such a conclusion. Only then did he feel slightly relieved.
Heaven and Earth can bear witness.
He really didn't want to use this opportunity to spend a few more days with the amnesiac Ying Ying so that he could have a change of taste …
…
The next morning.
Following the loud and clear cry of the rooster next door, the little fellow slowly woke up from her sleep.
She didn't know what happened last night, but she was keenly aware that …
Her mother didn't give her father a good look during the meal.
As such, the smart little fellow wisely kept her mouth shut and put on her little backpack after breakfast.
Perhaps it was because his sister-in-law was too embarrassed to see anyone after the farce last night, so she left the courtyard in the middle of the night, and no one knew where she was now.
Chen Xi wanted to explain the situation to her, but he saw that she was being very unapproachable, so he wisely disappeared from her sight.
His sister-in-law had left, but Qin Ruoying was still there.
Thus, Chen Xi made his way to the west wing and politely knocked on the door before yelling into the room, "Niannian, let's go. Daddy will take you to school today."
"Okay!"
The little fellow immediately ran out of the room after hearing Chen Xi's call.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she spread open her arms as if asking Chen Xi to carry her.
After Chen Xi picked her up from the ground, the little fellow turned her head and coyly asked into the room, "Mommy, aren't you taking me to school?"
The room was quiet, and Qin Ruoying didn't seem to have any intention of replying.
The father and daughter waited for a while and couldn't help but look at each other.
Thus, the little fellow whispered into Chen Xi's ear, "Daddy, did you make mommy angry?"
"How would I dare?"
Chen Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Hearing this, the little fellow's big eyes immediately started to spin.
"Daddy, do you want me to help you coax mommy out?!"
This little fellow was so mischievous, she actually used the word 'coax'.
After Chen Xi heard this, he immediately put her back on the ground.
The father and daughter looked at each other tacitly.
After that, the little fellow seemed to have received some kind of order, and quickly ran back into the room.
"Mommy, take me to school …"
"Let's take the bus, it's fun!"
"You haven't been to my school yet!"
"The teacher said she wants to see you!"
"Come on, come on …"
No matter how the little fellow acted coquettishly, Qin Ruoying didn't reply.
In fact, since she woke up, she hadn't said more than ten words.
She was like an observer from outer space, coldly watching everything that happened around her.
She only listened, but didn't speak.
She didn't speak, nor did she chase the little fellow away.
The little fellow grabbed her hand tightly, shaking her head and wagging her tail, constantly acting coquettishly.
Finally …
Qin Ruoying seemed to be convinced.
As soon as she stood up, the little fellow began to drag her out with all her might.
Of course, if she didn't want to go out, how could the little fellow pull her?
Qin Ruoying did go out, but she still didn't give Chen Xi a good look.
She didn't even look at Chen Xi, as if such a big person didn't exist.
Therefore … …
The little fellow held her father's left hand and her mother's right hand, like a bridge between the two.
"Time to go to school!"
"The sun shines in the sky, the flowers smile at me …"
"The little bird says good morning, why do you carry explosives on your back …"
Like the most ordinary family of three, the little fellow pulled the couple onto the bus to school.
Chen Xi and Qin Ruoying didn't speak on the way, but the little fellow seemed to have been injected with stimulants, chattering non-stop along the way, even disturbing the passengers on the side.
After Chen Xi apologized to the nearby passengers in a low voice, he didn't stop the little fellow from continuing, but motioned for her to speak softly and slowly. Dad was listening carefully.
Big things like arguing with others, small things like who borrowed her eraser.
The little fellow chattered non-stop, and Chen Xi listened with interest.
And at this time …
After getting on the bus, Qin Ruoying, who had been looking out of the window, finally looked like a sculpture that came to life.
She turned her head, her eyes paused on Chen Xi's face for a second, and then completely focused on the little fellow.
Looking at Niannian's little face that had turned red with excitement.
At that moment, Qin Ruoying couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face …
