With these thoughts, Ji Haoyuan took an item from himself and handed it to Zuo Qingqing, smiling:

"I see that Dao You seems to be troubled by Fire Evil. This item might help you; consider it a token of gratitude for your visit."

Upon hearing Ji Haoyuan reveal her current predicament, Zuo Qingqing was initially taken aback.

When she saw what Ji Haoyuan had given her, her surprise was uncontrollable, and she instinctively exclaimed in a low voice.

"Cold Jade Ice Soul!"

Realizing she misspoke, she immediately apologized to Ji Haoyuan.

Yet, her gaze towards the Cold Jade Ice Soul remained fixed and unwavering.

No one understood better than she did.

The Fire Evil in her body now was due to her own cultivation technique.

It required an Ice Element Spiritual Object containing Ice Attribute Essence to neutralize it.

Not only would this relieve her of the Fire Evil's distress, but it would also allow her to perfect her current cultivation technique, enhancing her cultivation level, and laying a solid foundation for her future cultivation.

However, finding a suitable Ice Element Spiritual Object with Ice Attribute Essence is not easy.

She had been searching for years but still had not succeeded.

However, the Cold Jade Ice Soul Ji Haoyuan offered was exactly what she urgently needed.

Even though she knew it was improper to accept it casually, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Ji Haoyuan naturally noticed Zuo Qingqing's thoughts and chuckled, directly placing the box containing the Cold Jade Ice Soul into her hands.

"No need for courtesy, Dao You.

As I've already mentioned, this is a token of thanks for your visit; take it freely."

"Well... I humbly thank the senior."

Seeing Ji Haoyuan place the item in her hand, Zuo Qingqing realized she indeed couldn't refuse.

More importantly, she didn't want to refuse, so she could only bow deeply to Ji Haoyuan once more.

After Zuo Qingqing departed, Miao Zixi, standing beside Ji Haoyuan, finally spoke:

"Senior Brother, now that we have the Passage Jade Talisman for the Daoist Palace Teleportation Array, should we...?"

"Hmm, notify Qingfei and the others."

Ji Haoyuan nodded.

"Although Zuo Dao You didn't mention the talisman's validity, it should be used sooner rather than later.

To be secure, once we're ready, let's depart tomorrow."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Miao Zixi promptly accepted the order.

On the other side.

After leaving Ji Haoyuan's small courtyard, Zuo Qingqing immediately went to Zuo Linjun's residence.

Upon meeting Zuo Linjun, she recounted the previous events in detail.

She also took out the Cold Jade Ice Soul for Zuo Linjun to see.

Zuo Linjun couldn't help but sigh after seeing it.

"This Nanhua Dao You indeed has impeccable conduct."

After pondering for a moment, he said to Zuo Qingqing:

"Qingqing, in this matter, our uncle-nephew pair has taken a favor from Nanhua Dao You.

Here's what we'll do: I have some remaining Spirit God Tea; take it to Senior Brother Bai and ask him to take extra care of anyone holding my jade talisman when the time comes."

"Spirit God Tea?"

Zuo Qingqing's face clearly showed surprise.

She hesitated a bit and said, "Second Uncle, isn't this a bit...?"

"Haha, you think I'm being too generous?"

Zuo Linjun laughed and shook his head.

"Qingqing, that's not how you should see things.

Some people aren't worth such gestures.

But some people, just by their character alone, are worth genuine friendship without overthinking.

Alright, take care of this now.

Go immediately."

"Yes, Second Uncle."

Though some of the words Zuo Qingqing didn't fully understand.

Fortunately, she was obedient and did not ponder too much over things.

After agreeing with Zuo Linjun, she headed to the location of a Daoist Palace's Teleportation Array.

Early the next morning.

Ji Haoyuan, accompanied by Miao Zixi, Ji Qingfei, and others, headed to the Daoist Palace's Teleportation Array location.

Upon their arrival, they saw many people gathering at the entrance of an arched building.

It seemed they were waiting for something.

With just a glance, Ji Haoyuan roughly identified that these people should be like them, utilizing special channels or relationships to access the Teleportation Array.

According to the information on the jade talisman from Zuo Qingqing, the Daoist Palace Teleportation Array opens twice a day at fixed intervals.

In between, there is a gap of about three hours.

Based on the order of arrival, each opening allows thirty people to enter simultaneously.

At this time.

Their timing was seemingly unfortunate.

There were already twenty-five people standing ahead of them.

Following usual procedures, if they wanted to go together, they'd have to wait for the next opening.

Miao Zixi, Ji Qingfei, and others clearly noticed this issue too.

They couldn't help but glance towards Ji Haoyuan.

But just then, a young man wearing Daoist Palace attire emerged from the arched building.

His gaze swept across the crowd, seemingly searching for someone.

Ji Haoyuan's heart stirred upon seeing this.

He moved forward unobtrusively, arriving in front of the young man in Daoist Palace attire, first saluting him, then taking out his jade talisman.

Upon seeing the jade talisman, the young man's eyes immediately brightened, but he patiently asked:

"Dao You, might I ask who you are...?"

"I am Nanhua. What is your name, Daoist friend?"

"You are Nanhua?"

Instead of replying, the young man in Daoist Palace attire grabbed Ji Haoyuan's sleeve, saying:

"Since you are Nanhua, have your people follow me inside first."

At those words, Ji Haoyuan immediately understood.

It seemed to be the function of the jade talisman he possessed.

He did not hesitate, motioning discretely to Miao Zixi, Ji Qingfei, and the others, and together they followed the young man into the arched building.

Seeing this, the crowd outside showed disgruntled expressions.

Someone unfamiliar with the situation spoke instinctively.

"Why?

Why can these people go in before us? Is there no sense of order?"

Upon hearing those words, some people quietly distanced themselves.

Though they felt the scene unfair, they knew better than to speak such words publicly.
