Chapter 541 - 232: Revisiting the Dragon Tamer’s Mansion

This time, after his cultivation improved, he sensed a significant enhancement in his Divine Sense, thus deciding to attempt it once more.

...

Yunshui City.

Inside the Clan Court, Shen Li slowly closed the Ancient Book, "Feeding Spirit," in her hands.

"Back then, Ah Die truly discovered a remarkable treasure..."

After murmuring softly, she slowly stood up and walked towards Shen Chongxuan’s courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

The elegant little courtyard was meticulously maintained, with a straight stone path leading directly to a delicate pavilion.

Hanging orchids adorned the pavilion on all four sides, with light purple flowers complementing the exotic ancient trees in the courtyard, creating a refreshing and soothing atmosphere.

As Shen Li walked slowly along the stone path to the pavilion, Shen Chongxuan was sitting there, studying a scroll of bamboo slips intently.

Beside him, the pregnant Zhantai Yujing was carefully pruning the branches of the hanging orchids with a pair of scissors.

"Brother Chongxuan."

"Sister-in-law."

Shen Li bowed respectfully, speaking softly.

Upon hearing her, Shen Chongxuan quickly put down the book in his hand and stood up, saying, "Li’Er."

Zhantai Yujing also set down her scissors and turned around with a smile, "Little sister Li’Er."

"Come, sit down."

Shen Li nodded and entered the pavilion, smiling softly as she glanced around, "Brother Chongxuan, your courtyard is arranged so well."

Shen Chongxuan picked up a cup from the tea tray, poured a cup of cool tea, and handed it over with a smile, "I don’t have such leisure; your sister-in-law did all of this."

"Apart from cultivation, all her efforts are devoted to these plants and flowers."

Upon hearing this, Shen Li curiously looked towards Zhantai Yujing.

"Sister-in-law has a deft touch, able to manage the courtyard so beautifully; Brother, you should not overlook such a blessing."

Hearing her praise, Zhantai Yujing’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

"If Little Sister Li’Er likes it, after I give birth, I’ll help you and Aunt spruce up your courtyards as well."

Hu Mei’Er usually tends to some plants and flowers in the courtyard.

But most of the time, she lets them grow freely, unlike the refined arrangement in Shen Chongxuan’s courtyard.

"Then I’ll trouble Sister-in-law."

After all, she and Shen Chongxuan were siblings with the same father but different mothers, and being close as a family was undoubtedly good.

"Alright, you siblings chat; I’ll go rest now."

"I’m quite far along, and any exertion feels too tiring."

Zhantai Yujing said with a smile, then supported her lower back and slowly walked towards the room.

She was a smart person, knowing that Shen Li came specifically to discuss important matters with her husband.

After Shen Chongming arranged for the Zhantai family to settle in Gao City, Zhantai Yujing wisely focused on supporting her husband and raising her children, without intending to involve herself in clan affairs.

After she left, Shen Li took out the Ancient Book, "Feeding Spirit."

"Brother Chongxuan, this book that Ah Die obtained is indeed an incredible treasure."

Shen Chongxuan’s eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this.

"So, the Soul Nourishing Technique in the book is something that can be cultivated?"

Shen Li nodded.

"The ancestor who created this Soul Nourishing Technique had a profound mastery over the Path of Divine Soul."

"But..."

"Li’Er, feel free to speak your mind." Seeing her hesitation, Shen Chongxuan spoke with a gentle smile.

Shen Li sighed softly and said, "Actually, I advise against Brother Chongxuan practicing this Soul Nourishing Technique, and I certainly don’t recommend refining the teacher’s Divine Spirit into a soul spirit."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chongxuan frowned slightly.

"Will this technique harm the teacher’s Divine Spirit, or is there another concern?"

Shen Li shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed, "Oh well, I understand that whether I speak or not, you won’t give up, Brother."

After a brief pause, she explained, "Brother, do you know that in the traditional Soul-Controlling Technique of the Cultivation Realm, the refined soul spirit is akin to a Spirit Pet?"

"The master and the soul spirit have a master-servant relationship; the soul spirit unconditionally obeys the master, and if the soul spirit dies, the master suffers only minor backlash and is not endangered."

"But the Soul Nourishing Technique recorded in this ’Feeding Spirit’ book is a technique for symbiosis between the master and the soul spirit."

"This technique fully retains the instincts of the soul spirit, but likewise, if one or the other is harmed, both will suffer the same damage."

After thoroughly reading "Feeding Spirit," Shen Li also discovered that the ancestor who created this technique for the Dragon Tamer Clan genuinely cherished the deceased Flood Dragon.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have created such a symbiotic Soul Nourishing Technique.

At the same time, she also understood that this symbiotic relationship would only strengthen Brother Shen Chongxuan’s desire to transform Lu Zhiyuan’s Divine Spirit into a soul spirit.

And sure enough, upon hearing her words, instead of showing any concern, Shen Chongxuan was overjoyed, saying, "This is a good thing."

"If I have to enslave the teacher’s Divine Spirit like a Spirit Beast, I’d rather send the teacher to reincarnation."

"Now, since it’s symbiosis, that’s ideal."

"Li’Er, release the teacher’s Divine Spirit."

Shen Li gave him a deep look and, without further persuasion, took out the Jade Scroll.

With a surge of Spiritual Power, Lu Zhiyuan’s Divine Spirit transformed into a white light and flew out from the Jade Scroll.

"Since Brother Chongxuan is determined, I will assist you."

Waving her hand, Shen Li set up a simple barrier around the pavilion and then used a technique to help Shen Chongxuan slowly transform Lu Zhiyuan’s Divine Spirit into a soul spirit.

Meanwhile, Shen Chongxuan activated the Soul Nourishing Technique recorded in "Feeding Spirit," drawing the soul spirit, formed from Lu Zhiyuan’s Divine Spirit, into his Sea of Consciousness.

After completing all this, Shen Li said solemnly, "The teacher’s Divine Spirit is weak; it will likely need to be nurtured in Brother’s Sea of Consciousness for over ten days before it can be summoned."
