Si Jianye also wanted to know what the Dragon Domain was.
Su Hongxiu withdrew her gaze and said no more, her well-defined fingers gently fanning herself with a bone fan, a hint of contemplation surfacing in her eyes.
A place that could make the King of Hell ponder must be extraordinary.
A sense of curiosity inexplicably arose in his heart…
Gongyi Yuan took a hearty drink of wine and changed the subject, "Feng Yi, Wei Ying, you two take your junior sister to look around, and by the way, take her to the lotus pond to help her choose suitable lotus roots."
"Lotus pond?"
A trace of doubt appeared on Gu Weiying's honest and simple face, "Master, the lotus roots in the lotus pond can reshape the physical body. Why are you taking junior sister there?"
Gongyi Yuan smiled and shifted his gaze to Feng Ninghe, "Because someone needs an藕身 (lotus body)."
Just as he stepped into the First Sect, Di Wenbin came out for some air. To prevent his soul from being damaged, he did not stay long before returning to the spatial jade bracelet.
Feng Ninghe waved her hand, and a wisp of remnant soul immediately appeared before everyone.
Di Wenbin yawned lazily and looked around, "It's really not easy to come out for some air."
A slight gust of wind would blow him away. He dared not stay outside for long, and if he sensed anything amiss, he would proactively retreat into the spatial jade bracelet.
Feng Yi's pair of lively eyes continuously scanned Di Wenbin, and she said with a hint of surprise, "It's quite rare for a mere remnant soul to still be alive."
After death, the soul leaves the body. Even if one has the consciousness to control the soul, they cannot withstand external interference and are prone to complete annihilation.
Understanding her doubt, Feng Ninghe casually swung the spatial jade bracelet on her wrist, "It can contain souls and prevent them from disappearing."
The spatial jade bracelet could contain souls, but that was all.
Di Wenbin could not stay in the spatial jade bracelet forever.
Feng Yi's expression then showed understanding, and her eyes held a trace of contemplation, "Only divine artifacts can contain souls. I didn't expect this jade bracelet to be a divine artifact."
Gu Weiying smiled honestly and led the way, "Junior sister, the lotus pond is hidden and is a rather important place in the First Sect. I'll take you there first.
Most people's souls dissipate after death. This pond in the First Sect is an ancient relic, older than Grandpa Shan. It's just sitting there, so it might as well be put to use."
Upon hearing that it could reshape the physical body, Di Wenbin's eyes sparkled with light, and he raised his head with a bright smile, "Then I'll trouble you!"
The lotus pond was located in a back mountain.
The area was filled with abundant spiritual energy, flowers bloomed profusely, and precious herbs grew everywhere.
A lotus pond stood in the center, its water brimming with spiritual energy.
"There are so many precious herbs here."
Bai Niannian couldn't help but be surprised and turned to examine her surroundings carefully.
Any one of these herbs, if plucked, would be priceless and could easily drive the people of the Li Kingdom into a frenzy.
Gu Weiying chuckled, his honest face appearing incredibly pure with the smile, "The spiritual energy in the pond is abundant, which is the greatest tonic for these herbs. Nurtured by the pond water, it's hard not to grow herbs."
Feng Yi exclaimed as if she had discovered something, "Here are mature lotus roots. Just place the soul into one, and the lotus root will absorb the spiritual energy of the pond. When the time is right, it will nurture a new lotus body. However, how long it takes to successfully nurture it depends entirely on fate."
No matter how long it took to nurture a new lotus body and shape a physical form, this was an opportunity Di Wenbin could not miss.
He finally had hope of reshaping his body and surviving…
Di Wenbin's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and he gazed intently at Feng Ninghe, "Miss Feng, once my physical body is reshaped, I will definitely thank you properly!"
His survival until now, and the opportunity to reshape his body, were all thanks to Feng Ninghe.
In the past, he had been righteous and had targeted Feng Ninghe in every way, yet this woman was still willing to help him without holding a grudge.
Even if Feng Ninghe was also trying to clear her name, her help was an undeniable fact.
Feng Ninghe's cool, beautiful eyes quietly fell upon him, and her distant female voice spoke without any superfluous emotion, "As long as you are alive and can clear my name in front of everyone, that would be the greatest reward for me."
She did not expect Di Wenbin to do anything for her; all she wanted was to clear her name.
Xiao Zhao, with his bright eyes, kept looking at Di Wenbin, "Di Wenbin, Master used a lot of medicinal herbs to help you wake up. As long as you don't cause trouble for Master, that's enough."
He had no good feelings towards Di Wenbin.
In the past, Di Wenbin had been confrontational towards Master, without any regard for right or wrong, and in the end, he still had to rely on Master to survive.
Di Wenbin said no more, biting his lip tightly without a word.
He had to shape his lotus body as soon as possible and return to the Immortal Sect to reveal the truth. He also had a belly full of doubts and wanted to question Feng Qingcheng properly.
Feng Yi casually pointed to a mature lotus root, "Hurry up and go in and stay there. The sooner you go in, the sooner you can shape your lotus body."
Di Wenbin hesitated no longer, looked gratefully at Feng Ninghe, and after a long while, withdrew his gaze and followed Feng Yi's guidance into the lotus root.
His soul was instantly enveloped by the lotus root.
The lotus root where Di Wenbin was located looked no different from ordinary lotus roots.
Feng Ninghe withdrew her gaze and couldn't help but sigh, "He's lucky. The First Sect happens to have an ancient lotus root that can shape a physical body."
Di Wenbin being able to enter the spatial jade bracelet and step into the First Sect with her was also his good fortune, indicating he was not fated to die.

Jinling.
Several figures stood at the city gate.
A golden, faintly visible barrier enveloped Jinling.
"Grandpa Luo, why is there another barrier in Jinling?"
A milky-voiced female voice slowly fell.
Si Xin Xin looked up at the barrier before her, a pair of cute pigtails tied on her head, her tender face filled with doubt.
This was not her first time in Jinling, yet it was the first time she had seen such a large barrier.
Grandpa Luo looked up at the barrier before him, his deep voice ringing out, "This is Jinling's lockdown barrier. It's only for entry, not exit. We can go in, but those inside cannot come out before the barrier disappears."
Si Xin Xin opened her bright, large eyes and quietly looked at the barrier before her, "Why set up a barrier? It must be troublesome to not be able to enter and exit freely."
A Xi gently rubbed his chin and said simply, "If I remember correctly, this barrier is for three months. It will dissipate after three months. For cultivators, three months is not a long time."
For cultivators, a brief period of seclusion could take a considerable amount of time, and some would even spend a hundred years in seclusion.
A hint of thought flickered across Si Xin Xin's small face, but after a moment, she withdrew her gaze and eagerly stepped forward, "Grandpa Luo, A Xi, let's go in quickly!"
She was already impatient to see her mother.
The days of separation felt like three years, and even Daddy was in Jinling. She had to see her mother quickly.
She also wanted Grandpa Luo to see how beautiful her mother was!
