Lü Fei and Tie Yan, amidst the spreading circular ripples, immediately changed expression. The two almost had the feeling of facing heavenly might. Their Nascent Souls seemed to be compressed by this infinite pressure, showing signs of collapse.

However, with a wave of Wang Lin's hand, this feeling immediately dissipated. The two took a deep breath, and their gazes toward Wang Lin became even more respectful.

"What is this?" Li Muwan gazed at the Pagoda, her beautiful eyes revealing a look of surprise.

Wang Lin smiled slightly and said, "Inside this Pagoda, there is a female corpse. She was the wife of a Senior who entrusted me with looking after her before he died."

Subsequently, Wang Lin told Li Muwan the story of Zhou Yi and Tinger. Li Muwan was naturally sentimental, and after hearing it, she was moved by Zhou Yi and Tinger.

"Senior Zhou Yi turned into a Sword Soul and went to the Great Luo Sword Sect. I wonder what the outcome was…" Li Muwan said softly.

Wang Lin was silent. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "Regardless of the outcome, this was his choice. I hope he can get what he wished for…"

Li Muwan nodded, and her gaze toward the Pagoda changed.

Under the Pagoda, Wang Lin built a few stone houses using mountain rocks. Li Muwan was quite cheerful and helped on the side. Wang Lin watched Li Muwan, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"From today on, this is our new home!" Li Muwan wiped the fragrant sweat from her forehead, placed the last stone, and said playfully to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin nodded. Seeing Li Muwan look exhausted, for some reason, his heart ached a little. In fact, with his cultivation, there was no need for Li Muwan to help at all, but Li Muwan insisted. This kind of persistence was rare in her.

Li Muwan's nature was always gentle, even somewhat delicate, but within this delicacy, there was an unimaginable strength. Regarding her persistence, Wang Lin did not say anything else but agreed.

He could see that Li Muwan was very happy. When her gaze occasionally fell upon him, it revealed a deep tenderness and a trace of reluctance to part.

This gaze, apart from that trace of reluctance, was the same as the gaze his mother used to have when looking at his father…

It was the same as the gaze Zhou Yi had when he was awake and looking at Tinger…

After using his Qi to regulate Li Muwan's body and watching her slowly fall asleep, Wang Lin sighed softly and turned to walk out of the stone house. At this moment, the bright moon was in the sky. Lü Fei and Tie Yan were sitting cross-legged in meditation. Upon seeing Wang Lin come out, they immediately stood up.

"Sect Master!"

Wang Lin glanced at the two and said in a deep voice, "How many years have you two been stuck at the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage?"

Lü Fei and the other were overjoyed. They followed Wang Lin to improve their cultivation to reach the Soul Transformation stage, but for more than a month, Wang Lin had not said a word about this.

The two did not dare to ask and could only wait silently.

Lü Fei suppressed the excitement in his heart and said respectfully, "This Junior has been at the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage for one hundred and forty-three years."

Tie Yan took a deep breath and said respectfully, "This Junior for one hundred and seventy-two years."

Wang Lin's eyes flashed as he scanned the two, then shook his head and said, "You have taken the wrong path!"

Lü Fei and Tie Yan remained silent. After a long time, Tie Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Sect Master, the Chu Country has never had a Soul Transformation Cultivator. We have asked the envoys, but there was never an answer. In fact, many years ago, I had already guessed that such bitter cultivation and seclusion would likely not lead to Soul Transformation, but I did not know the key. Junior Brother Lü and I have studied it for a long time and could only guess that it should rely on one's own realization…"

Wang Lin sighed softly, looked at the stone house behind him, and said, "Every Soul Transformation Cultivator must have their own realization. The Heavenly Dao is ruthless; we comprehend the Heavenly Dao, but we need a segment of being moved, at the very least, something that can move yourself. The Qi in your bodies is relatively complex. Within a hundred miles of this Pagoda, it is the best place for grinding pressure. Go a hundred miles away, and when you can rely on your own cultivation to walk within three miles, then come back!"

The two were shocked in body and mind, as if they had realized something. One went east, the other south, leaving the spot. A hundred miles away, they sat cross-legged in meditation, contemplating what Wang Lin had just said.

After they left, a trace of Zhou Yi's intent within a hundred miles opened again.

Time flew by. On this day, as Wang Lin was regulating Li Muwan's body, Li Muwan raised her hand to wipe the sweat from Wang Lin's forehead and said softly, "I know my body is failing. It's okay."

Wang Lin shook his head. He was now regulating Li Muwan's body, which had gone from once a day a month ago to three times every two days. As the frequency increased, it meant Li Muwan's body was constantly deteriorating.

"You will not die!" Wang Lin said earnestly.

Li Muwan nodded gently, revealing a beautiful smile, and gazed quietly at Wang Lin, as if she could never finish looking at him.

Wang Lin touched his nose and smiled, "I kept forgetting to give this to you. This is a gift I bought for you." As he spoke, he took several Jade Slips from his Storage Pouch.

Li Muwan covered her mouth and chuckled. Upon receiving and looking at them, she immediately said with surprise, "Grade 5 Spirit Pill Pill Formulas? These are very valuable items."

Wang Lin smiled, "Didn't you bring a Pill Furnace when we left? You can try these Pill Formulas when you have free time."

Li Muwan's eyes lit up. At this moment, she was quite moving.

"I also haven't asked you, why has your appearance changed again? And how did you become Ceng Niu?" Li Muwan looked at Wang Lin with her beautiful eyes and smiled.

Wang Lin told her in detail about his experiences over the past hundred years, which made Li Muwan widen her eyes in listening.

"If that Hong Die knew you were Ceng Niu, she would probably come to find you immediately," Li Muwan said worriedly.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he said calmly, "Hong Die, with my current cultivation, I only need a few more years to fully reach the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation stage. If she comes, I have a seventy percent chance of making her retreat in defeat again!"

"Do you still remember the Immortal Cave in the Cultivation Devil Sea back then… Wang Lin, I want to go back and take a look… And the Fire Burning Country, I want to go see that too," Li Muwan looked at Wang Lin and suddenly said.

"Alright, the Artifact Refining Pavilion in the Cultivation Devil Sea will be auctioning a Grade 6 Pill Formula in a few days. I will take you to buy this Pill Formula," Wang Lin nodded and said.

"Mm!" Li Muwan revealed a happy smile.

Looking at Li Muwan's smile, Wang Lin's heart felt a stinging pain again. He gazed at Li Muwan, just gazing like that.

Li Muwan's beautiful little face gradually turned red.

"I will not let you die! Absolutely not!" Wang Lin said, word by word.

Li Muwan nodded gently.

At night, after Li Muwan fell asleep, Wang Lin was outside the stone house, looking up at the bright moon in the sky. His eyes revealed waves of sorrow. Although Li Muwan's body had improved somewhat under the influence of his Qi, how could the power of the Heavenly Dao's Reincarnation be changed by an individual? The Death Qi on her was becoming denser.

"Only by forming a Nascent Soul can her Lifespan be increased. However, if her body is still this weak, it is impossible to successfully condense a Nascent Soul… Wan'er is at the end of her Lifespan. Even if her soul were extracted, it would be very difficult to undergo Possession again, unlike Wang Zhuo back then, whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul Stage and whose Divine Sense was powerful enough to have a chance to avoid the Heavenly Dao.

The Grade 6 Spirit Pill Pill Formula, this time, must be obtained. A Grade 6 Spirit Pill might be able to help Wan'er's body recover a little. Once her body recovers, I can help her form a Nascent Soul!

Over these years, I have truly owed her too much…"

Wang Lin gazed blankly at the sky. After a long time, his figure was somewhat unsteady, and a feeling of loneliness slowly enveloped his whole body. He sighed, his eyes revealing intense determination, and he slowly sat down.

He was silent for a good while, then touched the Beast-Taming Ring on his wrist. With a flick, a green light flew out from it, transforming into the Thunder Frog, which landed on the ground.

The Thunder Frog's aura was weak, and its body was covered in wounds. It was already only exhaling and no longer inhaling.

Wang Lin flipped his right hand, and a bottle of Medicinal Pills appeared in it. He took one out, placed it into the Thunder Frog's mouth, and mobilized his Qi to help it catalyze it.

During this period, he had to feed this frog a Medicinal Pill almost every day. These Medicinal Pills were Spirit Pills specially refined by Ouyang Zi, originally prepared for Li Muwan. However, after Li Muwan took many of them, they had already lost their effect; after all, the weakness of her body was due to her Lifespan, not injury.

After the Thunder Frog took the Medicinal Pill, it showed slight improvement. Wang Lin formed Hand Seals with his right hand and took it back into the Beast-Taming Ring. At this moment, if the Seal between this frog and the Beast-Taming Ring were removed, it would only lead to death for it, so Wang Lin had never removed it.

Wang Lin looked back at the stone house, patted his Storage Pouch, took out a treasured sword belonging to a Disciple of the Great Luo Sword Sect, and began to study it with focused attention.

The Restriction on this treasured sword was significantly different from what Wang Lin had learned. He had been studying it for a long time during this period and had finally figured out some of the methods.

The time of a night slowly passed. The bright moon in the sky gradually dimmed, and finally, as the first ray of the morning sun rose in the east, the bright moon slowly disappeared.

This night, Wang Lin mastered nine Restrictions and struck them onto the Restriction Banner. The offensive Restrictions on the Restriction Banner had already increased to one hundred and forty-five sets, still far from nine hundred and ninety sets.

Three days later, Wang Lin and Li Muwan left the valley, and Tie Yan and Lü Fei followed behind.

Wang Lin did not take the Pagoda but left it in the valley. Unless a Soul Transformation Cultivator arrived, otherwise, on the entire Vermilion Bird Star, no one could take this Pagoda away.

At the edge of the Chu Country, Wang Lin activated the Ancient Teleportation Formation and, taking Li Muwan, Lü Fei, and the others, disappeared into the Teleportation Formation.

Lü Fei and Tie Yan once again felt Wang Lin's power. Having lived for so many years, this was the first time the two of them had enjoyed this Ancient Teleportation Formation.

Inside the Cultivation Devil Sea, at the place connecting to the Fire Burning Country, a bright light suddenly flashed within an Ancient Teleportation Formation. After the light faded, four people walked out from it.

These four people were three men and one woman. The man and woman walking in front were clearly Dao Companions, while the two behind were attendants and followers.

"I haven't been back here for many years. Wang Lin, let's go see the Azure Dragon formation first. I wonder how many of the people from back then are still alive…" Li Muwan sighed softly and said.

"The Azure Dragon formation." Wang Lin looked into the distance. He remembered that back then, Li Muwan had once given him a Jade Slip, which was a rubbing of the image of this formation.
