Chapter 0711 Reunion of Old Friends

Bingxing looked at the Immortal Essence and said, "This Immortal Essence is enough! You take it."

She didn’t know exactly what Qin Yun was doing to the King of Yezhou, but she found it strange.

"Sister Bingxing, you take it. It’ll help you get stronger faster and return to the Immortal Barrens sooner!" Qin Yun said.

"Bao Changshou still has two more! Including the one beneath the Immortal Pool, that’s three total. If we link them together, the gathered immortal energy will be even greater—enough for me!" Bingxing moved the Immortal Essence next to Qin Yun.

"Then I won’t hold back!" Qin Yun smiled and accepted the Immortal Essence. After all, he had three little ones to look after.

Mo Mo, Yang Yang, and the Little Jade Rabbit—once they grew up, they would become a powerful force.

Bingxing asked, "What did you just do to him? I feel like his Immortal Body weakened a lot!"

Speaking of this, Qin Yun had much to discuss with Bingxing.

"Bingxing, I’ve obtained a lot of Demon Blood and Immortal Blood. Can I cultivate the Immortal-Demon Physique using these two types of blood?" Qin Yun asked seriously.

"I don’t know!" A flicker of fear crossed Bingxing’s beautiful eyes as she shook her head. "The Immortal-Demon Physique isn’t something easily cultivated. Otherwise, everyone’d be doing it!"

Qin Yun thought he should ask Xie Qirou, as she possessed the Immortal-Demon Physique.

Suddenly, Granny Ma’s voice came from outside: "Supreme Elder, is Qin Yun inside?"

Qin Yun quickly went to open the door and saw Granny Ma with two women in white veils covering their faces.

He immediately recognized them as Xiao Yuelan and Qi Meilian.

"Qin Yun, they’re here to see you!" Granny Ma said softly. "Is it alright for you to receive them inside the Immortal Armory Hall?"

"Of course it’s convenient! Granny Ma, want to come in for a bit?" Qin Yun stepped out with a smile, quickly taking Xiao Yuelan and Qi Meilian’s delicate hands and leading them inside.

"No need, I still have things to do!"

Granny Ma was surprised, but considering Qin Yun had got several Immortal Essences for the Immortal Armory City, it was only natural that the Supreme Elder valued him.

After Granny Ma left, Qin Yun closed the door.

Qi Meilian removed her veil, revealing her lovely, innocent face, beaming with happiness.

Seeing the face he had missed for so long, Qin Yun was overjoyed and gently caressed her smooth cheeks.

"Brother, I’ve finally seen you again!" Qi Meilian hugged Qin Yun tightly, her eyes tearing up happily.

"Little Meilian, you’re stronger than me now!" Qin Yun chuckled, lightly patting her back and wiping the tears from her adorable face.

Qi Meilian giggled. "Brother, you’re way stronger than me! If it weren’t for you, we would’ve been killed by those demons! Granny Yunyao said you’re a great hero!"

Xiao Yuelan looked at Bingxing, who was approaching, and smiled. "Bingxing, you got lucky—you actually didn’t die!"

"B-Bingxing… sister!" Qi Meilian ducked behind Qin Yun, scared, upon seeing the ice-cold Bingxing.

Bingxing glanced at Qin Yun and said, "I have Qin Yun’s past life to thank for sealing me away."

"Bingxing, all of us died except you." Xiao Yuelan sighed, looking at Qi Meilian. "You really should be grateful to Qin Yun."

Qi Meilian whispered, "Sister Bingxing, why do I feel like you’ve changed so much? You weren’t like this before. You’re kinda scary now!"

Qin Yun had figured for a while that Qi Meilian had a past life too.

"After all I’ve been through, I’ve just changed—it’s a wonder I didn’t lose my mind!" Bingxing walked over and gently stroked Qi Meilian’s adorable face. "You’re still just as cute and pure as ever—completely unchanged!"

"Bingxing, let bygones be bygones. I am Xiao Yuelan now, and she is Qi Meilian!" Xiao Yuelan said.

"Yeah, what’s done is done. Time for a fresh start!" Bingxing glanced at Qin Yun, her gaze complicated. "I hope we can still be good friends!"

"We’ll always be best friends!" Qi Meilian suddenly grew emotional and threw herself into Bingxing’s arms, hugging her tightly.

Xiao Yuelan also stepped forward, and the three women, their faces filled with joyful smiles and eyes glistening with tears, embraced each other.

Qin Yun was happy, but a twinge of frustration nagged at him—he was the only one left in the dark.

"Alright, time to go," Xiao Yuelan said.

"Yuelan, didn’t you say you’d stay with me for a month?" Qin Yun called out urgently.

"Little Meilian and I are going into seclusion to train!" Xiao Yuelan teased Qin Yun with a grin. "Ruyan can keep you company—she’s my wife now, after all!"

"Big bro, I’m moving to Demon Moon Island, so we’ll still see each other plenty!" Qi Meilian said cheerfully.

"Mm, just being able to see you makes me happy!" Qin Yun pinched her cheek lightly and asked, "No more sneaking into those big factions, got it? Way too risky!"

"It was Yuemei who made me take her place..." Qi Meilian also told Qin Yun about Xiao Yuemei’s involvement.

"That little troublemaker! If you see her, drag her here—I’ve got something important to say!" Qin Yun scolded with a laugh.

"Got it!" Xiao Yuelan took Qi Meilian’s hand and headed toward the door.

Qin Yun and Bingxing walked them out of the Immortal Armory.

"Bingxing, take good care of Xiao Yun! Since you two seem to be getting along well now, I won’t say much about your past lives," Xiao Yuelan tossed back as they left.

Qin Yun watched as Xiao Yuelan and Qi Meilian vanished past the Immortal Armory’s gates.

After they left, Qin Yun muttered, "Yuelan, seriously—can’t even spare a little time for me?"

Bingxing said, "Qin Yun, they both have something important to attend to, which is why they left in a hurry."

"What is it?" Qin Yun asked curiously.

"Soul healing," Bingxing replied. "I just picked up something off about their souls. I suspect it’s an aftereffect of reincarnation. For them to reincarnate and regain their memories this fast, someone must’ve been pulling strings behind the scenes."

Qin Yun had already guessed that Xie Qirou had been secretly guiding Qi Meilian, Xiao Yuelan, and Xiao Yuemei in their cultivation.

"Bingxing-jie, did Little Meilian’s past-life martial soul include Space-Time too?" Qin Yun asked curiously.

"She had two martial souls—Space-Time and Memory," Bingxing said as she returned to the side of the immortal pool and sat down. "Her Memory Martial Soul was no joke. Whenever she was hurting, it’d lock those bad memories away."

Qin Yun suddenly understood. Xie Wufeng, Murong Daren, and Huo Zhong had once seen Qi Meilian’s martial soul, but later, they couldn’t recall what it was.

Ling Yuner suddenly spoke up, "Xiao Yun, remember how Yuelan said you blanked on some childhood memories? I couldn’t even dig them up—like something scooped them right out!"

"If so, Little Meilian’s the only one who could’ve pulled it off! My guess? Back then, Grand Tutor sis put Little Meilian up to erasing that memory."

This was getting way too messy. Qin Yun was sure Xie Qirou was keeping him in the dark on purpose.

"Bingxing-jie, were Little Meilian and I close in my past life?" Qin Yun asked.

"Your relationship was terrible—you deceived them all... But after I was sealed away for many years, I have no idea what happened! In any case, there must be a reason they treat you so well now!"

Bingxing stared at the Immortal Pool, her face unreadable. "I also want to figure out what happened after I was sealed away."

"I’ll go meet up with some friends and then return to cultivate with you!" Qin Yun didn’t want to dwell on this matter any longer, as he had no clue where to start.

Bingxing nodded lightly.

...

Qin Yun left the Hall of Immortal Arms and hurried back to his residence, where he took out the Diagram of the Fallen Immortals and let his blood drip onto it.

"Xiao Yun, what’s the matter? Did you see Little Meilian?" Xie Qirou asked.

"I did! Both she and Yuelan met Bingxing, and they’ve become good friends again!" Qin Yun grumbled. "Grand Tutor Sister, I feel like you’re hiding many things from me—things about my past life!"

"Yes, I’ve kept a lot from you! Those matters could easily affect you, so I don’t plan to tell you for now. Yuelan and the others also know, but they haven’t told you either, for the same reason as me!" Xie Qirou replied.

Yang Shiyue’s reincarnation also took Xie Qirou by surprise, so she hadn’t conspired with Yang Shiyue. Yet, Yang Shiyue also kept many secrets about Qin Yun’s past life.

Thinking of this, Qin Yun believed Xie Qirou was looking out for him.

"Grand Tutor Sister, I’ve started joint cultivation with Bingxing. We’re cultivating the Nine Revolutions Celestial Power together, and the speed has improved greatly!" Qin Yun said with a smile.

"Xiao Yun, you’re truly impressive. Bingxing actually let you off and even agreed to jointly cultivate the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra with you!" Xie Qirou chuckled. "Guess some things never change—your charm’s still legendary!"

"Grand Tutor Sister, I also want to cultivate the Celestial-Demonic Physique. I’ve obtained several Immortal Essences..."

Qin Yun then told Xie Qirou about the Immortal Blood and Demon Blood he had acquired, as well as briefly mentioning the Immortal Essences.

After listening, Xie Qirou remained silent for a long time before speaking. "Xiao Yun, you do have the conditions to cultivate the Celestial-Demonic Physique now, but it’s quite dangerous! However, once you succeed, it will be of immense help to you in the future!"

"Fortunately, your cultivation isn’t too high... And since you have a Fairy by your side, I can feel okay letting you try this."

"Bingxing is a woman and can jointly cultivate with you—this was meant to be! With her help, you should be able to cultivate the Celestial-Demonic Physique!"

Qin Yun perked up and asked, "Grand Tutor Sister, what should I do?"

"Place the Immortal Blood and Demon Blood in separate containers. Then, add a large amount of Demon Cultivator’s Cultivation Pills or the Core Crystals of Demon Cultivator Demi-Immortals into the Immortal Blood. As for the Demon Blood, add Demi-Immortal Core Crystals or Cultivation Pills."

"Wait until the blood in the containers reacts. If successful, the Demon Blood will turn golden, and the Immortal Blood will become transparent."

"At that point, pour the two types of blood together and heat the mixture with fresh blood. Then, you must jump into it."

"Finally, have Bingxing stand beside the container and jointly cultivate with you, releasing her strongest celestial power to guide the Immortal-Demon Blood in refining your body! Of course, this requires both you and Bingxing to master the Celestial-Demonic Sacred Body Art. I’ll teach you this technique now!"

After saying this, Xie Qirou began teaching Qin Yun the Celestial-Demonic Sacred Body Art.
