"Qin Yang, sister finds these runes very interesting, so I really enjoy studying them."

Ruan Xinxue said with a smile.

"Hmm, tomorrow I'll teach you some other runes."

Qin Yang smiled and nodded. Sister Ruan is smart and has a decent talent for Talisman Dao. Tomorrow, I'll increase the number of runes I teach her to two thousand.

"Sister Ruan, here, this is for you."

Qin Yang gestured with his right hand, and a crystal-clear lotus appeared in his hand. A refreshing floral fragrance spread out, soothing the soul.

"Wow, what a beautiful flower."

Ruan Xinxue's beautiful eyes shone with surprise. Each petal of the lotus in Qin Yang's hand was like a finely carved icy jade, so beautiful it was hard to look away.

"Thank you, little rascal, I really like this flower."

Ruan Xinxue blushed slightly, then reached out her slender hand to cradle the Ice and Snow Lotus in her palm, looking blissful. It seemed like this was the first time the little rascal had given her such a beautiful flower.

Qin Yang chuckled. Sister Ruan was the same; women indeed all loved flowers and similar things.

"Sister Ruan, this Ice and Snow Lotus is not just for looking at. The seeds inside, when eaten, are very beneficial for awakening your physique. Eating one a day is enough. I have here nine lotuses, a total of one hundred seeds—enough for you to eat for three months."

Qin Yang said with a smile.

"Hmm."

Ruan Xinxue blushing, nodded slightly.

"By then, perhaps I won't be far from the Immortal Spirit Realm. We can embark on the Immortal Dao together."

Qin Yang murmured, his gaze focusing slightly.

In my previous life, I cultivated alone. In this life, with Sister Ruan by my side, I will certainly go further.

"Little rascal, sister will never leave you."

Ruan Xinxue also reached out her slender hand, holding Qin Yang's hand.

"Hmm."

Qin Yang smiled, a touch of gentleness in his eyes, nodding heavily.

Sunlight cast upon them, creating a gentle arc of light around them.

"Sister Ruan, stand behind me. I'm going to take out a python; don't get scared."

Qin Yang said.

"Python?"

Ruan Xinxue was taken aback, then nodded, standing slightly behind Qin Yang.

Qin Yang waved his right hand, and the Ice Flood Dragon Python, which he had slain—several dozen meters long—appeared on the ground ahead from the shattered Storage Bag.

"This..."

Even though she was mentally prepared, Ruan Xinxue was still slightly startled by the sudden appearance of the giant python.

However, the surprise quickly faded. After all, she had previously faced the fierce werewolf head-on; her mental fortitude was quite strong.

The giant python before her was covered in ice-like scales, exuding a beautiful, cold strength. A cold aura spread out, and at its head, there was a blood hole, clearly the cause of its death.

"Little rascal, how did you conjure up such a huge python?"

Ruan Xinxue's bright eyes blinked with curiosity.

"In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, most cultivators have Storage Bags, Space Rings, or Storage Bracelets, pendants, and other spatial storage items. All these contain a space for storing Spirit Stones, Spirit Medicines, Magical Treasures, Array Flags, and the like; they're very handy."

"After all, the Spirit Stones used by cultivators are not trivial in number, so naturally, it's not feasible to just hold them in hand."

Qin Yang explained with a smile.

"Spatial storage items?"

Ruan Xinxue's eyes lit up, full of astonishment.

Qin Yang took out the Spatial Storage Talisman and the broken Storage Bag from his body.

"Look, Sister Ruan, this is called a Storage Bag. Most cultivators have this. This pure silver Talisman is called a Spatial Storage Talisman, a type of spatial Talisman that employs space runes, containing a pocket-sized space inside."

As Qin Yang spoke, he gestured with his right hand, and the remaining nine Ice and Snow Lotus flowers floated out from the Spatial Storage Talisman, encircling Ruan Xinxue.

With a gesture, the nine Ice and Snow Lotus flowers returned to the Spatial Storage Talisman once more.

"It's really fascinating."

Ruan Xinxue's eyes sparkled as she touched the Storage Bag and Spatial Storage Talisman given by Qin Yang. She found herself increasingly captivated by this new world.

This is a civilization completely different from Earth's technological one, greatly broadening Ruan Xinxue's horizons.

"These spatial storage items, the large ones can even easily hold a mountain, like some Storage Bags or Space Rings, which usually have relatively large spaces. Smaller ones, like this Spatial Storage Talisman, have only a space the size of a room."

Qin Yang said with a smile.

"Little rascal, Sister really likes the world of cultivators more and more."

Ruan Xinxue's beautiful eyes sparkled, looking at Qin Yang as she spoke.

On Earth, technological civilization enables humanity to use natural laws discovered from nature to make life more convenient and efficient.

In contrast, Immortal Cultivation Civilization employs the laws felt from nature to make cultivators themselves attain tremendous power and longevity.

"Though the Immortal Cultivation Realm has numerous magical items and cultivators' lifespans far exceed that of ordinary humans, it is also exceedingly harsh, where the law of the jungle reigns. Strength is the only foundation."

Qin Yang sighed softly.

In truth, even on peaceful Earth, there is competition not only among people but also between countries. However, it is not as direct and brutal as in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Nonetheless, it is precisely the harshness of the Immortal Cultivation Realm that led to the flourishing development of the cultivation realm on the Immortal Yuan Continent in my past life, with countless mighty figures emerging.

"Hmm."

Ruan Xinxue nodded, a slight look of understanding on her face.

"Little rascal, what do you want the python for...?"

Ruan Xinxue's gaze fell on the Ice Flood Dragon Python, her beautiful eyes curious as they studied it.

"I want to refine Jade Talismans with its Essence Blood. Those werewolves will surely come again, and with the Jade Talismans, you will have enough power to protect yourself."

Qin Yang said with a smile.

"Jade Talismans?"

Ruan Xinxue raised an eyebrow in interest.

"Yes, that's Talisman drawn on Spirit Jade. I'll teach you in the future."

Qin Yang said with a smile.

"Regarding this python, its Essence Blood isn't the only valuable part. Its skin can be refined into armor, its flesh contains abundant energy that can be consumed, and its horned protrusions can be refined into Profound Dragon Pills and other body-quenching elixirs. And by the way, considering its strength, it must have already developed a Crystal Core."

Qin Yang explained.

"So, it has so many uses."

Ruan Xinxue remarked, surprised.

"Yes, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, various types of demon beasts abound, and many parts of them are useful to cultivators. Their Crystal Cores, skins, Essence Blood, and so on are quite precious. Therefore, cultivators frequently hunt demon beasts, either for personal use or to exchange for Spirit Stones. Of course, demon beasts are not easy to deal with. If a cultivator is outmatched, their only outcome is to perish on the spot."

Qin Yang explained.
