"Junior Brother, this is a magic robe I've woven during this period. Take it with you, it's some assurance while you're out."

On the road south from the Water Dragon Sect, Ji Yuan watched Du Wanyi catch up, glancing at the cyan robe she held.

Other protective artifacts are crafted by artifact refiners.

But the magic robe type of protective artifact, these are different; artifact refiners cannot craft them.

Those who can weave magic robes belong to another profession within the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, known as "Spirit Weavers."

Du Wanyi only started studying the skill of Spirit Weaver after joining the sect.

This Ji Yuan certainly knew.

However, unexpectedly, she managed to weave a spiritual artifact-level magic robe so quickly.

It appears, indeed, everyone possesses talent; it's just a matter of how it's used and discovered.

Earlier in Cloud Rain Marsh, Du Wanyi tried to learn Pill Array Talisman, but had no talent, unable to get started.

Only after joining the Water Dragon Sect did she find the craft suited to her within the Hundred Skills of Cultivation.

Ji Yuan looked at the cyan robe Du Wanyi handed over... A light gift but deep affection.

And a spiritual artifact-level robe, the gift isn't light at all.

However, Ji Yuan doesn't lack this magic robe; the one he's wearing now is already of mid-grade spiritual artifact level.

He doesn't lack, and Du Wanyi knows he doesn't.

Yet she still offered it.

This speaks volumes.

On the side, Liu Yuan, who liked watching such scenes, joked: "Junior Sister Du, your Senior Brother Liu is also in need of a magic robe. Why not weave one for your Senior Brother Liu as well?"

Du Wanyi's face flushed slightly with embarrassment.

But she did not admit defeat verbally.

"Let Senior Brother Liu remain lacking then."

The two had known each other for a long time, back when Du Wanyi was only at the Qi Cultivation Stage, joined the Water Hall through Liu Yuan's connections.

Not to mention they both are now Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan could only accept the robe and cupped his hands saying, "Second Sister, thank you for your kindness."

Seeing Ji Yuan accept it, the heart that Du Wanyi had been holding finally settled.

"The task in the sect is important, so I won't bother you Senior and Junior Brothers anymore, take care!"

Du Wanyi said, cupping her fists before hurriedly activating the flying boat, soaring into the clouds.

Seeing Liu Yuan about to speak, Ji Yuan also activated the flying boat, heading straight south.

"Let's go, Brother Liu."

Seeing Ji Yuan's move, Liu Yuan understood that Ji Yuan didn't wish to discuss further, so he didn't pursue the matter.

Ji Yuan indeed didn't want to say much.

Could he read Du Wanyi's mind?

Yes.

Not only could he read Du Wanyi's mind, but also see Dong Qian's subtle thoughts, but precisely because he could see them, he didn't wish to discuss further.

Becoming cultivation partners... Indeed, Ji Yuan had considered it.

But after experiencing the incident with Xu Fugui and Isle Master Tie Chui, his thoughts had dulled considerably.

Why?

Because of fear.

Ji Yuan believed that with the backing of numerous projects, unless courting death himself, achieving Core Formation one day shouldn't be a problem.

At worst... just pile on resources fiercely.

Eventually, burn through the resources to create a Core Formation Cultivator.

But what about Du Wanyi?

It's not that Ji Yuan was unfeeling; without major opportunities, at the Foundation Establishment Stage... she would likely reach her limit.

Ji Yuan could assist her in Foundation Establishment, but facing Core Formation... Ji Yuan himself sees no prospects, let alone help her reach it.

Ji Yuan dared not imagine if he became cultivation partners, after spending a hundred years together, living through a hundred years still vigorous while forced to watch his partner age.

Compared to such pain and suffering, Ji Yuan would rather not start.

Being like this now, is quite good too.

Later, on the road south, Ji Yuan kept consulting Liu Yuan about other matters.

Regarding the spirit vein at Liancheng Mountain, typically guarded by five Foundation Establishment Cultivators jointly.

Which means aside from Ji Yuan, Liu Yuan, plus that Senior Sister Rou Yi, there are two more.

Moreover, with Master Xuan Shui's principle of balance, likely the other two, one belongs to his faction while the other remains among the Third Elder's faction.

Estimating this, over at Joy Palace and Medicine King Valley, they also likely have five Foundation Establishment Cultivators each guarding.

Altogether, fifteen Foundation Establishment Cultivators, three at the peak of Foundation Establishment, or slightly higher reaching the legendary Fake Pill Realm.

Just one step away from Core Formation.

With this formation, plus the Tier Three Array guarding the spirit vein, even a Golden Core Cultivator wouldn't gain the upper hand.

Moreover, once unsuccessful in attacking, not gaining a thing, they'd face the joint pursuit of three immortal sects.

Thus, guarding the spirit vein could be considered safer than guarding a city.

Even if Demon Cultivators became rampant, they wouldn't dare plunder such places.

Especially these newly opened spirit veins given they often have additional means arranged by immortal sects.

After discussing this matter, Ji Yuan also inquired about the tri-colored spirit eggs soon to be produced by the Chicken Cage, unable to find related information in the sect.

To his surprise, Liu Yuan hadn't heard either.

Helplessly, he gave up.

Additionally, Ji Yuan subtly asked Liu Yuan his view on Demon Cultivators.

Liu Yuan, being free-spirited, directly expressed.

"If the Demon Dao unites our Cangluo Continent, then we righteous cultivators will become demonic."

"Just like Shangxi now, they refer to the Three Demon Sects as 'Three Holy Lands.'"

The two chatted and traveled southward, after 18 days, Ji Yuan finally arrived near his destination.

This journey, while passing countless mountains and rivers, was extremely safe, except for a stop at a hillrest where they encountered a Tier One Boar Demon Beast causing trouble, and no mishaps occurred.
