Ever since the conversation about the illusory body, Song Ren had been quiet for a few days. He was not in the mood to cause trouble for Yun Heng. Instead, he hid the moment he saw Yi Qing and Lonemoon. He even covered his lower body. That terrified expression made it seem as if they were going to do something to him in the next moment. His eyes were filled with resentment.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that look of yours?" Lonemoon's mouth twitched. He could not help but grab him back. "Even if that thing of yours grows out, we're not interested, alright? We don't lack it! "
"Don't … lack it?" Song Ren's eyes widened. What did he mean? Did he pluck a lot of it before?
"That thing of yours, we have a pile of it in our warehouse." Radish had to pluck it every once in a while.
"A … a pile!" Song Ren's eyes were filled with even more fear. Even his legs began to tremble.
"That's enough. Do you really think we care about that thing of yours?"
"…" You have a whole warehouse of it, and you still say you don't care?
"Since it's already grown on your body, you can do whatever you want with it. Whether you give it to someone or refine it into pills, we can't be bothered! But let me remind you, after you pluck it, if you do not preserve it with sorcery, you have to refine it into pills within three days. Otherwise, you can't eat the pills you refine. "
Eat!!!
Plucking and eating! Beast!

Song Ren felt a chill in his lower body. He felt waves of illusory pain. "You bunch of devils!" With that said, he flung Lonemoon's hand away and ran out. He did not even notice Yun Heng, who was walking right in front of him. In an instant, he disappeared.
Lonemoon: "…"
Yi Qing: "…"
Shen Ying: "…"
"Why are you looking at me!" Lonemoon turned back and glared at the master and disciple. "Did I say anything wrong?"
"No … no." The master and disciple both shook their heads.
Pluck rice, pluck rice, pluck rice …
Cook, cook, cook …
You're rich, you're right!
"Three Exalted Masters …" Yun Heng, who had just entered, looked confused. "Fellow Daoist Song, what's wrong?"
"Maybe it's the rebellious phase?" Lonemoon replied casually. He glanced at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
It was only then that Yun Heng remembered his purpose. He quickly handed the letter in his hand to Lonemoon and said excitedly, "It's like this, Exalted Master. I've just received an urgent report from the Mystic Sect. At the border of the north, I've discovered a strange … remnant soul. Moreover, it seemed to be heading their way. This disciple was thinking that since everyone has cultivated for so long, could it be possible … "
"You want those people from the sect to deal with the remnant souls?" Lonemoon frowned.
"Yes." Yun Heng nodded, looking even more excited. "Everyone's goal in changing their cultivation was to get rid of deviant ghosts and bring peace to the world. Why don't we take this opportunity to bring everyone along … "
"No!" "They've just learned how to draw Qi into their bodies. They haven't even reached Foundation Establishment yet. He hadn't even learned many spells, yet he wanted to deal with Remnant Souls, and a large group of them at that. Are they going to redeem the souls or send themselves to their deaths? "
"…" Yun Heng was stumped. He knew that this was a little risky. "But … if we leave the remnant souls alone, what if they attack other commoner cities again? What should we do?"
"I'll go with Chef!" They were just remnant souls. They must not affect their cultivation of the sword!
Yun Heng's expression changed. He looked like he was in a difficult position. A sliver of hesitation flashed across his face. After a while, he said, "I naturally believe in the abilities of the two Exalted Masters. It's just that … everyone has been cultivating for a period of time. Although Exalted Master taught us everything, and the disciples were impressed. But after all, we haven't really fought each other. As time passes, if … "
He stopped halfway through his sentence. His face looked worried and guilty at the same time.
Lonemoon was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood what he meant. He had indeed neglected a problem – the human heart!
Previously, they made such a high-profile appearance and even specially prepared an immortal palace to raise their profile. That was to make this completely devoid of cultivators believe that immortal cultivation did indeed exist. And these few months, everyone had indeed been won over by drawing Qi into their bodies and all kinds of sword techniques. But all this was built on the assumption that cultivation would allow them to better deal with deviant ghosts.
They had never seen it with their own eyes. In other words, everything was still in the theoretical stage. They had been building a cart behind closed doors without actually putting it into action. It was fine at the beginning. But as time passed, everyone might start to suspect something. When that happened, the hearts of the people would not be united. That would definitely affect their cultivation.
"I understand." Lonemoon nodded. It was indeed time to bring them out to see the world. "Later, ask Si Yu to choose a few people who are familiar with using Spirit Qi. Together with you, they will follow us to the north."
"Yes, Exalted Master!" Yun Heng heaved a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
— — —
Si Yu chose seven people. Most of them were at the sixth or seventh stage of Qi Refinement. They were all very young. Their bone ages ranged from ten to twenty years old. Thinking about it carefully, it was normal. The younger they were, the less impurities in their bodies. Naturally, their Spirit Qi would flow more smoothly. Lonemoon had never thought of letting them become his helpers. They were only following to test out the effects of cultivation. In other words, they were going to use it to advertise.
Thus, he gave them a few simple instructions. Then, he summoned his flying dharma artifact and flew towards the north that Yun Heng had mentioned. Everyone was obviously excited, especially when they saw the wooden boat that Lonemoon had casually thrown out. Instantly, it turned into a spirit boat and carried everyone up into the sky.
They were stunned for a full fifteen minutes before they dared to move around on the spirit boat. Their eyes were shining brightly.
Considering that they were all Qi Refinement disciples, if they flew too fast, they might not be able to withstand the spiritual pressure on the spirit boat. Lonemoon had no choice but to slow down. The group of ten flew for an entire day before they reached the north.
From afar, they could see a desolate land. The ground looked as if it had been roasted by fire. It was pitch-black and charred. Looking around, there was not a single bit of green. It looked especially bleak.
Lonemoon used his divine perception to scan the area. Then, he steered the spirit boat towards the west, where the Yin Qi was the thickest. The further they flew, the darker the sky became. In a short while, even though it was a bright sunny day, everything around them had turned gray.
They could faintly hear the shrill cries of ghosts in front of them. It was especially piercing.
"It's deviant ghosts! The deviant ghosts are right in front of us! "A disciple shouted.
Lonemoon landed directly and kept the spirit boat. It was already very dark around them. A large amount of bone-chilling Yin Qi swept towards the crowd, blotting out the sky. The ghostly cries seemed to be right beside their ears. They were even clearer now.
Everyone panicked. One by one, they took out their swords and looked in front of them with some trepidation and fear.
"Calm down …" Lonemoon turned back and reminded them. "Follow the way you usually practice using your Spirit Qi. Activate your Spirit Qi!"
Everyone was stunned. One by one, they followed his instructions. Indeed, in the next moment, the bone-chilling Yin Qi dissipated completely. Their bodies quickly warmed up. Their bodies seemed to have an additional layer of protection. The Yin Qi was directly blocked.
