After exchanging words for a while, Rong Xuejian suddenly slapped his forehead, "I got it, thank you, Brother Lou!"

After speaking, he hurriedly turned back, apparently eager to verify something.

"The world of a prodigy, I don't understand." Lou Yi lamented.

Rong Xuejian was not like him, a dabbler.

Purely through his own study, he had comprehended the Rain Technique roughly, which was truly an astounding insight.

Back at Disciple Peak, a familiar figure was waiting at the entrance of the cave halfway up the mountain.

The person was quite fair-skinned and could be considered handsome.

Unfortunately, his complexion was pale, and his eyes were dull, evidently in poor spirits. It was Su Yu, who had ascended the mountain with Lou Yi.

Upon seeing Lou Yi, Su Yu's eyes lit up.

"Brother Lou!"

"What's the matter?" Lou Yi asked.

He knew in his heart that the other person would not seek him out if it were not necessary and must have a request.

Su Yu opened his mouth several times without saying a word, seemingly at a loss for words.

"Ahem, Brother Lou, it's like this. Thanks to the Purifying God Pill and the Clearing Miasma Pill you gave me, I've made some headway in understanding Qi Sensing over the past few days...

However, the elixirs ran out yesterday, right at this crucial step. Isn't that just frustrating?"

"I don't have any extra elixirs; I've given them all to you," Lou Yi said.

"Ahem, I know, Brother Lou, you're very righteous," Su Yu hesitated, then continued, "The understanding of Qi Sensing is greatly related to the environment one is in. The spiritual qi at the foot of the mountain is too weak, seriously hindering my progress.

Brother Lou, since you've already started Qi Cultivation, it doesn't matter where you stay.

Why not let me stay at the halfway point for a few days? As soon as I succeed in Qi Sensing, I'll return it immediately!"

"Where would I stay if I gave you my place?" Lou Yi frowned.

"Stay at my place," Su Yu smiled, rubbing his hands together, his eyes shining with anticipation.

Just a glance, and Lou Yi knew that even if the other succeeded in Qi Sensing, he wouldn't return the cave; he planned on seizing it permanently.

Moreover, even if he would return it.

Why should he give up a place with abundant spiritual qi for a cave at the foot of the mountain lacking in spiritual qi and filled with bugs and ants?

Their relationship was far from reaching such a point.

The last time Lou Yi helped him, giving him all the unused elixirs was already more than generous.

"Sorry, this cave was found for me by Miss You. I have no right to dispose of it," Lou Yi shook his head, refusing. "If you want to stay, you can ask Miss You.

Or, if you have the ability, claim one for yourself."

Hearing this, Su Yu's eyes showed a clear look of shock.

Apparently, he thought such a simple favor, the other side would not be willing to help?

"Brother Lou, there's only one month left until the March deadline. If I cannot understand Qi Sensing by then, I'll have to pack up and go home.

Are you really willing to see me end up so miserably?" Su Yu anxiously said.

"I'm not trying to take your cave and not return it, just an exchange for a period of time.

Just take a little loss and help me out, will you?"

"No."

"Lou Yi, you!" Su Yu's face changed, showing anger in his eyes, "No matter what, we came from the same place, why are you so ruthless!

My grand plans of immortality are just a tiny bit away from completion. I just need you…"

Before he could finish, Lou Yi turned and walked toward the cave, not wanting to listen to the other's nonsense.

Su Yu wanted to chase after to stop Lou Yi.

'Deng deng deng!'

A pale-skinned, tall Lou Er quickly approached from the cave entrance, blocking Su Yu's path.

With a pair of amber eyes mixed with blood-red hues, emotionlessly staring at the opponent.

Su Yu looked at the obviously inhuman Lou Er, retreating continuously, fear showing in his eyes.

Only at this moment did he realize that Lou Yi and he were already people of two worlds.

"Damn it, thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side, you just wait!" Su Yu muttered under his breath, hatred clear in his tone.

Knowing that it was impossible, he could only return to the foot of the mountain.

Watching the back of the other, Lou Yi pondered whether to give him a hard time at night.

Despite Su Yu's low voice, it couldn't escape Lou Yi's amazing hearing, naturally heard clearly by him.

He didn't expect himself to one day play out the story of the farmer and the snake.

'Forget it, it's not worth it.'

The sect rules stipulated that disciples must not harm each other, violators will be expelled.

Lou Yi wasn't sure if hurting Su Yu would be discovered by the sect's experts.

Thinking about it, Lou Yi abandoned this idea.

"This person has an improper mind." You Qingyi came to Lou Yi's side and commented.

Her cave was right next to Lou Yi's, having witnessed all that had happened.

Behind You Qingyi, a figure followed with 'thump, thump', limping.

Bald and beardless, painted with two eyebrows, eyes tightly closed, skin pale white, wearing a black robe, with a slightly protruding chest, it was her female corpse.

"Your Lifebound Corpse has reached the Walking Corpse Realm?" Lou Yi asked in surprise.

New disciples were initially allocated corpses that couldn't move, relying on their master to transport, known as Grass Corpse.

After Grass Corpse, the body could walk under the Corpse Driver's control, known as Walking Corpse.

If the Walking Corpse developed simple intelligence and could act independently, it became a Spirit Corpse.

As for the Iron Corpse, Copper Corpse, Silver Corpse, etc., they each had different transformations.

When You Qingyi first received her corpse, it was a Grass Corpse; who knew in a few days, it would become a Walking Corpse?

"Unlike Brother Lou, my Lifebound Corpse was naturally a Spirit Corpse from the start," You Qingyi coolly replied.

"Last time, Miss You brought me a Spirit Tempering Flower, I haven't had the chance to properly thank you..."

"Brother Lou saved me; it was my duty." Before Lou Yi could finish, You Qingyi threw this line and returned to her place.

It was as if she was afraid Lou Yi would speak again, thus fleeing.

"Am I that shameless?" Lou Yi couldn't help but laugh.

He looked toward the mountain top, tempted to change caves.

Strictly speaking, the caves on the mountain were all owned by the sect.

Just now, they were monopolized by that grass-chewing teenager, unable to live at will.

And the closer to the mountain top, the richer the spiritual qi.

Although due to the limitations of the Spirit Root, living at the mountain top couldn't speed up his cultivation.

But it could reduce cultivation time, leaving more time for accumulating energy.

'In a few days, I'll change caves.' Lou Yi thought.

He took out the Elixir Jade Bottle given by Elder He today, removed the wooden stopper, and poured out a faint white pill.

The pill emitted a faint fragrance, which Lou Yi directly threw into his mouth, his eyes lighting up.

He could sense that the Qi Absorption Pill quickly transformed into a considerable amount of pure spiritual qi.

As the Profound Yin Technique circulated, helping him open up a small part of the Yin Vein that had not been developed.

The cultivator's realm also changed:

Qi Cultivation Layer 0 (26/600) → Qi Cultivation Layer 0 (28→600)

'A single pill is worth two days of hard cultivation.'

Lou Yi couldn't help but recall his fellow sect members' explanations.
