The next morning, Lin Ji went to Xuantian Peak to look for Yu Shui Zhenjun. In addition to wanting Yang Yan, he also wanted to tell him that he was going to Shuilan Star.

The morning light was dim, the mountain breeze was chilly, Lin Ji was flying in the air, and in a breath he arrived in front of Zhenjun's cave.

"Lin Ji, come in."

As soon as Lin Ji landed, Yu Shui's calm voice came from the cave. He was not surprised and quickened his speed to enter the cave through the formation.

In the cave, Yu Shui Zhenjun was sitting at a stone table with a cup of hot tea on it, which was emitting a faint steam. He looked at Lin Ji with a warm smile on his face.

Lin Ji walked to the stone table and bowed slightly to Shui Zhenjun.

"True Lord, I came here to say goodbye to you. I will be going to the Blue Water Planet soon. I hope you can take care of the Xuantian Empire."

"Looking after the Xuantian Empire is fake, but helping those two little girls is real, right? Don't worry, Jindan Zhenren will not make things difficult for them. As for the others, I'm sure they can't withstand the attack from Tianshu City."

Yu Shui responded with a smile.

Lin Ji nodded happily when he heard that. With the promise of Zhenjun and the necklace he gave, there would be no problem with the safety of Ningxue and Youran.

Then Lin Ji asked a little embarrassedly.

"True Lord, I want to practice Fire Power: Undying next. Do you have Yangyan in your hand?"

"Immortality? If you hadn't reached the fourth realm, I would have definitely rejected you and told you not to aim too high and to first reach the water realm. Now, I can only let this old bone of mine go to the sun and give it to you when you come back from the Blue Water Planet."

After knowing that Lin Ji had broken through to the fourth realm of mind, Yu Shui became particularly tolerant towards him and gave him whatever he could.

"Thank you, Master. I'll take my leave now. I still have to make the final preparations for going to the Blue Water Planet."

"Go."

After receiving Yu Shui's response, Lin Ji stood up, bowed and left.

……

Xuantian City Lord’s Mansion.

"Your Highness, this is the latest version of the jade token that records the translation of the spacecraft text. Also, I need your seal to confirm the expenditure and income of spirit stones this month, and..."

After paying her respects, Tan Yue placed a few jade tablets on the desk, looking at Luo Youran, who was in self-doubt, with a gentle and amused expression.

After a moment, Luo Youran came to his senses and looked helplessly at the jade token that had just been delivered. He reached out and picked up the top jade token, input spiritual power, and began to browse through it.

"Your Highness, compared to last month, the revenue of the Trial Tower has dropped again. We can only barely break even. If this continues, we will have a huge financial problem."

Tan Yue looked at Luo Youran worriedly and couldn't help but remind him.

"You think too much. The decline is just because the spirit stones in the hands of ordinary cultivators have been almost used up. It's just a normal fluctuation. Besides, other continents will also start using the Trial Tower in a while, so there will be no financial problem."

Luo Youran replied indifferently, then pressed the seal, and several complicated symbols appeared on the surface of the jade token, and then he picked up the next jade token.

(The translation of the spacecraft text will be completed in another half year. The following is the latest translation...)

Seeing this, Luo Youran put the jade token away and prepared to study it in her spare time. She would pay attention to and follow up on this matter, mainly because she was afraid that these translators would talk to Garnier in advance and something unexpected would happen.

……

By the time Luo Youran finished his business, Tan Yue had already gone back. The sun was setting in the west, and the sunset dyed the entire sky red. She stood up, stretched her body, and walked towards her room somewhat lonely.

Tonight is destined to be a lonely night.

She sighed softly, slowly pushed the door open, then locked it and leaned against the door frame quietly, eyes closed, thinking about the endless things to do, the lack of progress in the water, and the condensed snow...

She felt that her emotions were becoming more and more suppressed. She didn't like this feeling, she really didn't like it.

dong dong!

The sudden knocking sound on the table woke Luo Youran up. He opened his eyes and looked around vigilantly, ready to use the ring to teleport to Tianshu City at any time.

Then she saw Lin Ji sitting at the desk, looking at the book in his hand, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Luo Youran suppressed the discomfort in his heart, smiled again on his face and slowly approached. Without any other movements, he just leaned lightly against Lin Ji, releasing the pressure in his heart.

"You Ran, are you tired?"

"I do not know."

In response to Lin Ji's question, Luo Youran hesitated and answered softly, with an imperceptible uneasiness hidden in his eyes.

Lin Ji, who can perfectly see into the other person's heart through the soul contract, naturally knows what she is thinking.

So he put his arms around Luo Youran's waist, shortened the distance between them, and his deep, magnetic voice reached Luo Youran's ears.

"Have you noticed that Ningxue has been rejecting you recently and feel uneasy?"

Luo Youran looked up at Lin Ji, her pupils red and eyes filled with tears, but she shook her head stubbornly and said nothing, but her eyes betrayed her.

There are many things to do, cultivation is difficult, and even Xiao Ningxue's rejection, Luo Youran can accept it calmly. After all, she is indeed the third party, and it is normal to be disliked, but she is afraid that Lin Ji will be influenced by Xiao Ningxue and slowly drift away from her.

"…To be honest, I'm not good at comforting people. You Ran, how can you let go of the anxiety in your heart?"

"Take me."

After listening to Lin Ji's words, Luo Youran stared at Lin Ji and firmly uttered something that made her extremely shy.

Lin Ji was stunned for a moment, then nodded without hesitation, hugged Luo Youran tightly, and disappeared in an instant. He came to the bed in the bedroom, opened the quilt, and the two bodies were entangled together...

The next morning, when Lin Ji woke up, Luo Youran had already gone to deal with some business, leaving only a note.

(Master, I'm fine now, but you have to be careful. When I opened the door, I saw Ningxue from a distance. Her expression... was scary, so I left a note to remind you. As a man, you should find a way to solve it yourself.)

Looking at the note in front of him and thinking about what happened last night, Lin Ji shuddered, stood up and put on his clothes. He was afraid of running into Xiao Ningxue on the road, so he teleported directly to Qingxin Palace to practice.

"Let's get out of the wind first and wait until the snow has subsided a bit."

……

Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Lin Ji sat cross-legged on the Jade Pool in the center of the Qingyu Palace and began to practice with the help of the Enlightenment Stone Fragments.

The air around him instantly heated up, and light red spiritual energy circulated around Lin Ji. His mind sank into the "Yangyan" technique, and he began to practice according to the methods in the technique.

Gradually, the spiritual power began to burn, turning into wisps of flames that emerged from thin air, surrounding Lin Ji, emitting a burning sensation, causing the temperature around him to rise a few degrees again.

Time passed, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

That morning, Lin Ji, who had been practicing with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, full of energy. He waved his hand, and the flames surrounding him disappeared immediately, and the temperature returned to normal. Lin Ji was delighted, and he felt that his cultivation had improved a bit.

Cultivation: Four artistic conceptions to build a foundation

Skill: Yangyan: Burning (20/100)

Artistic conception: sword, time and space, wood, water

Looking at his own panel, Lin Ji smiled. This time, in addition to the increase in his proficiency in Momentum: Burning, the most important thing was that he realized the transformation of water into wood, which made his wood state of mind stronger again.

Especially with the improvement of the physical strength brought by the Wood Realm, now he doesn't need to use his spiritual power to take Ning Xue's heavy water face to face, and it is estimated that even no mark will be left.

"After three months of seclusion, it's time to go out and see the world."

Lin Ji stood up, pushed open the door and walked out, then he felt a fluctuation in space, and Xiao Ningxue appeared in front of him with a cold and pretty face.
