Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 282 Returning to Origin Technique

"What do you mean?"

The little guy wagged its tail and jumped onto her shoulder.

"Ling Mi, you are my everything..."

"Oh right, Little Fengfeng, don't tell Yan Nanfei about the existence of the Soul Devouring Platform for now."

"why?"

Feng Rou chuckled, "Have you forgotten? The Shadow Clan and the Soul Devouring Platform are natural enemies."

Also.

"it is good."

"The only way to accelerate the integration between the Moonshadow Beast and the Shadow Clan is through continuous practice. The higher the level of integration, the more they can achieve a connection of minds, and the more the Moonshadow Beast's talents will be developed."

"Do you get me?"

"I know."

"Huh? Is that so!?"

Ling Mi's voice rang out from the side.

Is the pretty older sister Chu Han's contracted beast?

Did Chu Han save Yan Nanfei twice?

Ok.

It's no big deal to kneel down for someone who saved my life.

Feng Siyue said to the wild geese flying south, "From now on, you will cultivate during the day and train with Ling Mi at night. It will take twenty-two days. How far you can go depends on yourself."

In fact, she really hoped that in twenty-two days, Yan Nanfei would at least reach the threshold of the Moon Shadow Beast's talent.

"it is good."

Yan Nanfei sat cross-legged on the ground, listening to Ling Mi's teachings.

"The Shadow Clan is renowned for their agility and speed. They are faster than moonlight and more silent, invisible, and odorless than shadows. From a young age, the Shadow Clan practices the Returning Origin Technique, a skill that allows them to minimize their own aura."

Yan Nanfei tried to understand, "Similar to, tortoise breathing?"

"No, the Turtle Breathing Technique is about settling oneself, while the Returning to Origin Technique is about merging with heaven and earth. The fallen leaves are you, the wind is you, and the flying birds are you too."

Yan Nanfei nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Come, learn from me: the wind rises and the clouds fall, the flowing water shapes the ruins, and the mulberry trees stand firm in peace..."

Yan Nanfei took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Her heart gradually calmed down.

Outside the fence.

Xuan Li held Tangyuan while admiring the flowers.

"Ah Li, you can go in now."

"They're over?"

"Ah."

Xuan Li turned around and walked into the courtyard.

Feng Siyue was preheating the alchemy furnace.

Seeing her come in, he said, "Ah Li, I have a favor to ask of you."

"what?"

"Go and get some medicinal herbs from Steward Cai."

Xuan Li raised an eyebrow, "Aren't you going to practice at the auction house?"

"I won't be going for a while."

"Row."

October 1st, early morning.

Hanxi Auction House.

As Xuan Li strolled into the auction house, eating a candied hawthorn, she noticed that the already bustling street, especially in front of the auction house, was now filled with many young men.

They may be arrogant, gentle, or pitiful.

A hundred flowers blooming, a feast for the eyes.

what's the situation?

"Oh dear, esteemed family heads, it's not that I'm refusing, but the two young ladies aren't at the auction house right now, so there's no use in asking me for help!"

Hua Zongtang smiled and said, "It's alright. I'm already satisfied as long as Steward Cai says a few words."

"Yes!"

"Manager Cai, the two young ladies have their reasons for staying in Qianshui City. Is it the beautiful scenery, the culture, or perhaps the fine young men? Hahahaha!"

The speaker was an overweight middle-aged man.

Steward Cai smiled distantly, "Master Zhang, it is not for you or me to speculate why the two masters have stayed. Please be careful what you say."

What, is Miss Bai just someone who eats, drinks, and has fun in your mind?

"Manager Cai, there's no need to worry about what others think. Your two daughters have their reasons for coming to Qianshui City. However, as the hosts, we should do our part to show them hospitality."

The man in the crescent-colored robe said this.

Steward Cai chuckled, "It's good that Master Xu has such good intentions, but we subordinates cannot reveal the master's whereabouts. Please leave."

The Hua family head and the Xu family head didn't know what else to say, so they raised their hands to say goodbye, "Then, farewell."

Seeing this, the Zhang family head felt embarrassed to linger.

"Then I'm leaving too."

Manager Cai nodded slightly.

After the people left, Cai Zhongxi frowned slightly. "Ju Ning, if these people come looking for the two young ladies again, tell them I'm not here, regardless of whether I'm here or not."

"Don't bother those visiting cards to the two young ladies."

Ju Ning nodded, "Yes."

She paused, then continued, "But what about the City Lord's Mansion, Qingli Academy, and the Alchemist Guild..."

"Let's leave the Alchemist Guild aside for now. As for Qingli Academy and the City Lord's Mansion, we'll deal with them when our two masters arrive."

"Yes."

"Go down and get busy."

Manager Cai turned and went up to the third floor.

"Manager Cai."

He turned around and saw Xuan Li walking towards the stairwell.

Manager Cai smiled and asked, "Young Miss, did you come alone today? Where is the Second Miss?"

Xuan Li, dressed in pure white jade and wearing a veiled hat, stood at the top of the stairs. "She couldn't come later, so she asked me to take some medicinal herbs back."

"Good good!"

"I'll have it prepared right away, Miss, please wait a moment."

He didn't ask why he couldn't come.
