The immortal pill is reborn and possesses the body of the charming female shopkeeper.

Chapter 59 Scripture Reading

The sword intent within the soul merges into the body, arrogant and unique, just like the bones of a sword, forging and connecting the soul and the physical body.

Luo Sifan practiced his internal energy for a long time before he could get used to the wonders of this sword intent.

Even now, though his physical body is trapped, his spiritual infant can still draw upon sword intent to deliver a surprise attack.

The spirit controls the sword, and the sword follows the will. The speed and complexity of using sword energy are a level higher than that of the sword body, but the power is still not as good.

Luo Sifan's entire demeanor changed, becoming like a sword with its edge hidden in its sheath. Compared to her graceful and ethereal demeanor as an alchemist, she gave the impression of a genuine sword cultivator who had just begun to explore the way of the sword.

With the Dragon-Slaying Sword tied to his waist, Luo Sifan appeared in Lin Qianxiu's tent in a flash.

Niannu looked anxious and paced restlessly in the tent. Seeing Luo Sifan emerge, her anxiety vanished instantly.

"Young Master! You've been missing for almost an hour now, and I'm hesitating whether to report this to Miss!"

There was a hint of complaint in his tone.

"Only an hour?"

Luo Sifan had vivid memories of his years of arduous mountain climbing in the secret realm. He was taken aback upon hearing this and was greatly shocked by the old man's methods.

"I just casually practiced, which made you worry, Sister Niannu."

Luo Sifan chuckled and was very polite to Niannu.

He never held any sense of hierarchy, especially since the other party was Lin Qianxiu's close maid.

Niannu blushed, somewhat surprised and a little overwhelmed.

"Young master, please don't tease Niannu. If the young lady hears you say that, I'm afraid I'll get a beating for no reason!"

Niannu rolled her eyes at Luo Sifan, her expression indifferent, seemingly quite wary of him.

Luo Sifan was an outsider to Lin Qianxiu's family and had no idea about the intricacies of these wealthy households. Since Niannu was unwilling to get close, he couldn't be bothered to argue.

Lin Qianxiu confined him to the tent, forbidding him from going out. With him in the tent, Niannu dared not even sit down, and obediently stood guard by his side.

Luo Sifan simply got up and went to check on Jun Xiaolian behind the curtain.

Niannu watched his retreating figure disappear behind the curtain without saying a word.

Behind the curtain is Lin Qianxiu's bedroom and study, furnished simply yet thoughtfully arranged, with every item exuding understated luxury.

"Luo Sifan, you've captivated that girl, and you're just going to ignore her like this?"

Xiao Yi made a rare joke.

"Are you kidding me?"

Luo Sifan was somewhat confused.

"This Niannu girl is not as simple as she seems on the surface."

Xiao Yi seemed to be deep in thought, feeling that Nian Nu's spiritual expression seemed somewhat unusual.

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"

Given Lin Xiaozhi's face alone, it's quite normal for Niannu, a young girl, to have feelings for him.

Luo Sifan felt that Xiao Yi was making a fuss over nothing when it came to matters between men and women.

Jun Xiaolian was fast asleep in the embroidered tent, her brows furrowed, her hands clenched into fists as she stretched out from under the quilt, as if her dream was not going well.

Before Luo Sifan could ask any questions, Xiao Yi confessed honestly:

"Don't worry, the little girl is fine. She entered the sect in her dream and is receiving instruction from her masters."

After saying that, he looked a little sullen:

"I thought the Dream Entering Divine Strategies technique was my own creation, but I never expected that old man would come up with a method that is seven or eight parts similar to my Dream Entering Divine Strategies technique!"

Xiao Yi's arrogance seemed to have been greatly diminished by the old man's spirit within the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

"Don't try to force things and ruin them! Watch carefully!"

Luo Sifan, having suffered the consequences himself, quickly reminded Xiao Yi to prevent him from becoming too confident and causing any damage to Jun Xiaolian's soul.

"It's just a beginner's technique, what's there to worry about?"

Xiao Yi's voice grew softer and softer, clearly indicating that she was busy with something and distracted.

Luo Sifan took Jun Xiaolian's small hand in his, his breathing remained steady.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he watched over Jun Xiaolian while carefully reading "Hong Fan".

There seemed to be an unseen sense of urgency urging him to study this path. Perhaps it was the madness displayed by the old man in the "Furnace" chapter?

Luo Sifan instinctively refused, for the ultimate goal of weapon crafting was to refine a world.

However, the two Daoist books, "Hong Fan" and "Lu Shu," are voluminous and inexhaustible, covering everything under heaven, the geography of Yunzhou, the rituals of various schools, the forms of all kinds of utensils, yin and yang, the five elements, and all kinds of divine and spiritual things. Compared with Daoist alchemy, their content is probably a hundred times more extensive.

Luo Sifan possessed a powerful spiritual soul, yet even after an hour, he only managed to thoroughly read and comprehend one ten-thousandth of the "Hong Fan" text.

When will I finally be able to read "Ling Shu" and embark on the right path of weapon crafting?

Luo Sifan closed the book, lost in thought, when suddenly he remembered Xiao Yi.

"Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi!"

Luo Sifan smiled and spoke ingratiatingly.

"what?"

Xiao Yi was startled and came over, feeling both puzzled and wary.

"Could you please demonstrate the Dream Entering Divine Mechanism technique for me? These two Taoist texts contain far too much information! I can't read them all at once."

Xiao Yi remained silent for a long time, seemingly deep in thought.

"Whether it's okay or not, at least give me an answer."

Luo Sifan was a little impatient and urged him on.

"Why are you in such a hurry?! You have no idea how complicated this is!"

Xiao Yi responded irritably, seemingly racking her brains.

Luo Sifan was somewhat embarrassed by the rebuttal. Although Xiao Yi was usually a bit arrogant, she probably wouldn't lie or deceive people.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi finally said softly:

“Luo Sifan, our souls are one, so it’s impossible for me to use Dream Entry on you.”

Luo Sifan's heart sank, and he felt somewhat disappointed.

"However, taking half of your soul is something I can barely try. After all, these three Daoist books have already taken up a quarter of your soul. I only need to use the spell on the remaining quarter of your soul."

Xiao Yi's tone changed, and she became eager to try.

"Soul splitting? Can it come back after being split? Are there any side effects?"

Although Luo Sifan was happy, he was still quite worried.

"Tch! Your soul is mine, do you think I would mess with myself like that? Use your brain! Leave the professional stuff to me, stop with your wild thoughts!"

Xiao Yi felt that her expertise had been ridiculously questioned by Luo Sifan, and vented her frustrations.

"As for side effects, of course there will be. With half of your soul gone, what can you do? You'll become half-stupid!"

Luo Sifan ignored Xiao Yi's sarcastic tone and thought to himself that even if he had become half-stupid, his spiritual infant realm was enough to handle things normally, so it was fine.

"Have you thought about it?"

Xiao Yi was fully aware of Luo Sifan's feelings.

Luo Sifan nodded, agreeing to give it a try.

"However, Luo Sifan, since I'm using all my strength to perform the Divine Dream Entry for you, I won't have much time to cultivate myself."

Xiao Yi's words clearly implied something, as if she wanted something in return.

"We're family, why are you arguing about these things?" Luo Sifan was taken aback, wondering what Xiao Yi was up to.

Xiao Yi snorted coldly, somewhat dismissive of Luo Sifan's thoughts, but she had no intention of explaining:

“Luo Sifan, I have no demands of you now, but in the future, grant me one request as repayment for doing you a favor this time.”

This request was perfectly reasonable, and Luo Sifan naturally couldn't refuse.

"Alright! As long as I, Luo Sifan, can do it without violating the laws of nature or human sentiment, and without harming or killing anyone, let alone one thing, what difficulty would there be in doing ten or a hundred things?"

Luo Sifan readily agreed. In his eyes, Xiao Yi was his alter ego, as close as a brother, so he didn't care about anything.
