ssed, and asked coldly, "Are you bored Bored enough to go ghost hunting"“How do you know there are ghosts there I was just out shopping.”His attitude annoyed me a bit.While others are scoundrels, he i..."The Taoist temple of Yin and Xu Bai is located here." Jiang Qiyun saw my confusion and kindly explained: "The Five Emperors are great demons transformed by the One Qi of the Emperor Yuan Huang. They are also primordial gods. The range of their dojo is where all spiritual creatures reside, even demons are refined spirits over many years. If you kill or destroy them, it will be a karmic burden."

Ah, I see. These giant rats might seem unremarkable at first glance, but they are actually spiritual creatures under the god's protection, imbued with celestial energy.

What to do I looked at Jiang Qiyun, waiting for his instructions.

"Throw them out." Jiang Qiyun said to the clerk.

The judge looked down on him with disgust, let out a cold snort, and kicked the blood-soaked, unconscious Old Yan out with one foot.

"This person's mind and body are both possessed by demons, it's difficult to persuade him to do good. Leaving him here will only bring disaster and trouble. After he recovers, we should send him back." Jiang Qiyun looked at Lao Yan unhappily.

"What about those two little bamboo rats that got stepped on" I looked at Jiang Qiyun, then at Ji Du.

"What You want me to help you catch mice! You—"

He almost choked on his "You want to die!"

But Jiang Qiyun glared at him fiercely, and swallowed his words back down hard, looking utterly defeated. He pulled a large leaf from the plant and wrapped the two cubs in it with both hands.

It's strange, how has Ji suddenly become so subdued around Jiang Qiyun

With a puzzled expression, I held the two young ones in my hands and hurried up to the attic.

The attic was cleared out for Yu Gui and Lan Xi to stay in. A crib was placed inside, while the outer room had disciples taking turns watching over night. There was also Jiang Qiyun's protective magic formation.

Because the three children had their own special pastries, the little boy also lingered here.

It seems like these immortals have descended to the mortal realm and are in no hurry to return, acting as if they're here to watch the commotion unfold.

When I saw You Nan late at night, I finally knew why Ji was so patient.

Yu Nan's lips were busted.

They went to bed early, so I didn't come to check. Unexpectedly, Younan’s lips were swollen and there was a clear blood mark.

"Mother, there's no need to worry, it's just a minor skin injury." Younan spoke proactively before I could even ask.

"How did you do that" I held his little face in my hands, looking him over. It seemed like he had only bumped his lips; there were no other injuries.

Actually, I have a pretty good guess. It's probably that he bumped his head when Jie was carrying him.

Although it was a small matter, Ji definitely felt uncomfortable inside. Otherwise, he wouldn't have endured Jiang Qiyun in silence.

"It's all my fault, I'm clumsy. I accidentally tripped during practice with the master, but he caught me in time. Otherwise, my face would be on the ground..." He muttered softly and secretly glanced at me.

It seems you think I'm complaining I wouldn't dare!

...Don't say that they are all immortal gods, condescending to help me raise my child. It's mainly because Ji has always been deeply affectionate towards Younan since childhood. Anyone with eyes can see it.

...

"Now, when you're practicing with your master, don't do anything beyond your physical limits. That would only cause your master trouble, having to teach you and protect you at the same time." I rubbed Younan's head.

This little guy seems very eager to grow up, but his body is still that of a child. He can't rush it.

"It's better to eat more and sleep more so you can grow up faster, right" I hugged Younan.

Yunan nodded obediently.

Lan Xi is still sleeping in his crib with the rails. I watched him sleep soundly, so I secretly kissed him twice without waking him up.

Outside the screen, the young boy slept soundly. Yu Gui pushed him for a long time, but he didn't wake up. Yu Gui was so angry that he used the gourd tassel to scratch his nose.

"Achoo!" The little boy couldn't help but sneeze, and was caught by Yu Gui by the sleeve and pulled off the couch.

"Mother~ I woke him up!" Attira pulled the little boy over and brought him in front of me.

I held onto Yugu and Younan sat beside me, the little boy frowned sitting opposite us at the Eight Immortals table.

On the Eight Immortals' table, a leaf rested with two tiny bamboo rat corpses.

“Do we have to save these too” The little boy frowned, his face creased with worry. “Your Highness, don’t you know that our elixir is very precious! These little spirits would take years of cultivation before they could even get a lick.”

And the elixir of reviving the dead and the medicine that heals decay and connects jade fragments are different! The elixir of reviving the dead cannot be used lightly, as it will disrupt the natural order of life and death…

I sighed, "But this rat was sent by Yin Su Bai to help me tidy up the yard... This little life, just born not long ago, died because of me. I really feel terrible."

The little boy sighed and asked, "What did the Emperor say"

"Huh What do you mean"

"This little bamboo rat, should you save him, did he tell you"

I thought back for a moment and honestly said, "He asked Ji to bring the baby raccoon out and told me to go back to sleep after I was done, so he probably agreed to help, right"

The little boy held his forehead, silently shaking his head.

"Alright, since the Emperor hasn't said anything... but I have to make it clear, the elixir for reviving the dead, each use adds to your cultivation's karmic obstacles. If you use it to save someone, my lady, you must be prepared for the possibility of falling into the demonic path, or being forever barred from ascending the immortal register."

I was taken aback; the little boy had never spoken to me like that before.

His expression was very serious, not like he was joking.

"Because of you, you're still just an ordinary person. You've gotten access to the power of immortals, and every time you use it, your cultivation will decrease until there is none… Your cultivation is stored in the small lotus flower. It was given to you by the Emperor as a protection talisman. If your cultivation runs out, when you encounter danger or difficulty…" The little boy sighed: "Don't be too kind."

I nodded. "I'll be more careful."

He saw that I was determined to save him, and he curled his lips and said, "Well then, let me scrape some powder and mix it with water to give it a try. Maybe these spirits are extraordinary and come back to life That way, we'll save a pill."

Words turned into action, the young boy held a bright red pill in his hand and used a small knife to scrape powder into a teacup.

"Yu returned, lying face-down on the table with wide eyes. He glanced at it and muttered, "You're so stingy, you only scraped off so little..."

"Oh my, little ancestor, what do you know! The less you shave, the less your mother's cultivation will be affected!" the young boy said with wide eyes.

"Hmph, this is nothing. If I can't save it, wouldn't that be a waste of my mother's cultivation" Yu said shockingly.

The little boy was stunned for a moment, as if he found it very reasonable. He then lowered his head and scratched it.

Yu Gui and You Nan eagerly watched the young boy pour water into the little bamboo rat's mouth.

"Mother, won't they be cold" Yu Gui slid from my lap and brought over her tiny plush scarf.

She curled up into a U-shape, encircling the baby bamboo rat.

Time ticked by, and the little bamboo rat didn't seem to react at all.

"I'm not happy with this outcome," she mumbled, pouting. "It's your fault for being stingy with the medicinal pills. You definitely didn't put enough in..."

The little boy frowned and said, “That shouldn’t be... this little bit of powder is like a great fortune to them.”

"Would this be too weak Do you need help" Younan suddenly reached out a small hand and pinched a finger.

He'd never seen that technique before. He whispered, "My master taught me that if you encounter danger, you must learn to borrow the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to sustain your life."

"The Star Deity is so afraid you'll get hurt."rmation. I named her Qingrui. Do you have any questions about that That's just her name." Jiang Qiyun said heavily above my head.I was taken aback for a moment, just about to look up when his big hand...
