The dangers to Xi Qian's Divine Soul were dispelled, and the power of the Immortal Elixir immediately flowed unimpeded into her body and Divine Soul.

Xi Qian's Soul Power rapidly increased, and in just a moment, it recovered to the level of a typical Nascent Soul cultivator.

The power of the Immortal Elixir did not halt but continued to pour in, elevating her Divine Soul to a higher realm.

Xi Qian's body and Mana had also fully recovered by now, and had even improved significantly, especially her Nascent Soul, which had grown by nearly half, almost comparable to a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator.

"It seems the effects of the Immortal Elixir are better than expected. But should it continue? If this goes on, your sister's cultivation might breakthrough directly," Yuan Ming said as he turned to Xi Ying.

Advancing too rapidly in cultivation is not beneficial, as it could lead to an unstable foundation. Moreover, since Xi Qian is in a sleeping state without conscious awareness, if she really broke through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage now, a mismanagement could lead to Mana backlash, or at worst, death on the spot.

Xi Ying slightly furrowed her brows, evidently contemplating whether to remove the remaining Immortal Elixir.

Just then, Xi Qian's body suddenly lit up with a layer of emerald light, emitting a vibrant vitality.

Under the glow of the emerald light, the depleted Mana and Divine Soul Power in Xi Ying began to quickly recover. Her pale complexion also began to improve. Nearby, Yuan Ming and the Five Elements Child were also bathed in the emerald light, beginning to regain their Mana and Divine Soul Power.

"What's happening?" Yuan Ming exclaimed in surprise.

As Yuan Ming and another person were stunned, the remaining power of the Immortal Elixir within Xi Qian quickly dissolved and integrated with her body.

Xi Ying's expression changed, and she hastily used the Six Jia Qimen Divine Ability, trying to extract the residual power of the Immortal Elixir, but it was still a step too late; the power of the elixir had already completely merged into every part of Xi Qian's body.

"I will use the Undying Tree to completely control Xi Qian's body. No matter what happens, at least it will ensure her life is not in danger," Yuan Ming said as he uttered a spell, and more roots of the Undying Tree emerged from his Dantian, piercing into various parts of Xi Qian's body.

The roots of the Undying Tree took control of every part of Xi Qian's body, ready to address any problems caused by a breakthrough in cultivation.

However, the subsequent developments were beyond Yuan Ming's expectations. After absorbing the remaining power of the Immortal Elixir, Xi Qian's cultivation did not surge explosively as anticipated; in fact, it did not increase at all.

Yuan Ming and Xi Ying exchanged glances, both feeling slightly relieved, yet neither understood why this happened.

At that moment, the nature's spiritual energy in the vicinity suddenly stirred, converging from all directions towards where Xi Qian was situated, forming a visible pale green Spiritual Energy Vortex, flooding into her body like a tide.

Yuan Ming raised an eyebrow, realizing that the incoming nature's spiritual energy was all Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy.

"What is this..." Xi Ying quickly noticed this too, her face showing a look of puzzlement.

"Have you figured out something?" Yuan Ming asked.

"This doesn't seem like a cultivation breakthrough for my sister; it's more like the signs of a Spiritual Awakening," Xi Ying pondered and said.

"Spiritual Body? Hasn't your sister already possessed a Yimu Spirit Body?" Yuan Ming asked.

"That's why I'm unsure. There's so little research on Spiritual Bodies in Yunhuang Continent. Could it be that her Yimu Spirit Body has mutated after absorbing the Immortal Elixir?" Xi Ying murmured.

"A mutation in the Spiritual Body?" Yuan Ming was startled.

The Ju Mang Spirit Technique also mentioned Spiritual Bodies. In certain specific situations, Spiritual Bodies indeed might undergo mutations.

As they observed, the influx of Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy did not cause any adverse effects on Xi Qian's body, so they did not intervene, but simply watched the changes.

As Xi Qian absorbed the Wood Attribute Spiritual Power, her body gradually underwent a transformation. Her meridians, flesh, bones, and skin slowly turned green. Even the Nascent Soul in her Dantian was no exception, turning a translucent emerald green, resembling a tiny green crystal person.

An hour later, the convergence of Wood Attribute Spiritual Energy ceased.

With a thought, Yuan Ming retracted the roots of the Undying Tree that were pierced into Xi Qian's body, while Xi Ying, who had been nervously watching Xi Qian the whole time, now showed a look full of concern in her eyes.

After a short while, Xi Qian's long eyelashes trembled twice and she slowly opened her eyes, looking around and whispering softly, "Where is this?"

"Sister, you're awake!" Xi Ying rushed over excitedly, no longer maintaining her usual composure.

"You're Ying'er!" Xi Qian's blurry eyes gradually cleared, and she sat up from the crystal coffin."

"It's me, sister. You're all right now," Xi Ying hugged Xi Qian, her eyes welling with tears.

"Ying'er, to think I could see you again, that's really wonderful." After a brief absent-minded moment, Xi Qian gently stroked Xi Ying's waterfall-like long hair, her face showing a tender smile.

Yuan Ming did not disturb them, and after speaking a word to Xi Ying through voice transmission, he quietly left the room.

"How has my body turned like this? The 'Heart of Chaos' has actually been resolved!" Xi Qian looked at her body, holding Xi Ying's hand as she flew out from the crystal coffin, her face filled with disbelief.

"I found the Undying Fruit and refined the Immortal Elixir. This elixir can bring the dead back to life. Not only did it cure your divine soul issue, but it also caused a mutation in your Spiritual Body. Please check if there's anything unusual with your body," Xi Ying said.

"Immortal Elixir! You took too great a risk this time!" Xi Qian paused for a moment, her graceful eyebrows slightly furrowed in reproach.

"Taking some risks is nothing, as long as you can recover, Sister. That's what's most important," Xi Ying said with a smile, her face revealing a touch of playfulness.

"You used to call me reckless, but I think you are even more impulsive now, luckily you are alright," Xi Qian glared at her sister, closed her eyes, and began cultivating.

Her body soon lit up with a layer of green light, which then burst forth like a tide, turning the entire room into a green sea.

Green spots appeared on the walls and quickly expanded, growing many green mosses, and green wild grass sprouted from the corners of the room.

"Does Sister's new spiritual body possess divine skills that accelerate the growth of flora?" Xi Ying said, her face showing surprise.

Just then, a series of 'crackling' sounds came, as the furniture placed in the corner of the room sprouted sturdy branches and grew fresh green leaves.

"Withered Wood Spring! No, wait, Sister, stop!" Xi Ying's pupils suddenly contracted as she seemed to realize something and quickly shouted.

The green light on Xi Qian's body reversed its flow, merging back into her body. She asked with a slightly pale face, "How is it? Did you see it clearly?"

"I saw it mostly. The green light just now contained divine soul power. If I'm not mistaken, this is a divine skill where you separate your own soul power and infuse it into wooden objects, providing them with vitality! The Yimu spiritual body doesn't have this capability, it looks like your spiritual body has really mutated," Xi Ying explained.

"Is that so? That sounds quite good; I could use this ability to help grow spiritual medicine," Xi Qian said thoughtfully, a look of happiness appearing on her face.

"No, you shouldn't. Soul power is not like mana; once consumed, it's extremely hard to recover. This new ability of your spiritual body should be used sparingly in the future!" Xi Ying quickly cautioned.

Xi Qian was a cultivation genius, surpassing anyone in the Xi Family, yet she was very carefree and almost reckless, requiring guidance throughout her life.

"That's boring then," Xi Qian muttered.

"Besides giving life to wooden objects, does your new spiritual body have any other divine skills? Like attracting nature's spiritual energy, has that rate changed too?" Xi Ying asked, casting a glance at her sister.

"It's more than doubled; my cultivation will be much faster from now on," Xi Qian raised her right hand, and the nearby wood attribute spiritual energy quickly replenished, with hints of green light emerging on her palm.

Xi Ying's face showed joy upon hearing this.

"Apart from that, my body's healing ability seems to have greatly increased too," Xi Qian lightly drew her left hand across her arm, a blood mark appearing on the skin.

Without seen cultivating, the wound emitted a flash of green light and healed rapidly.

"Self-healing divine skill! It's somewhat similar to Yuan Ming's Undying Tree ability," Xi Ying exclaimed with joy.

"Yuan Ming? Who's that? The guy who was just standing here?" Xi Qian's eyes twirled as she giggled.

"Yes, that's him," Xi Ying hesitated slightly before nodding in confirmation.

"Oh, our little Ying'er has finally grown up, starting to have someone in her heart! Such a pity I only glanced at him briefly; he seemed alright, but I wonder about his strength," Xi Qian said with a teasing smile.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense..." Xi Ying's face flushed with a hint of red.

...

As the Xi Family sisters were reunited after a long time, chatting leisurely, Yuan Ming returned to his residence, set up a forbidden barrier, and then sat down to perform Inner Observation in his Dantian.

Casting spells had drained a lot of his mana.

However, due to the recent anomaly in Xi Qian's body, his Undying Tree Roots had merged with her body, causing his own mana to become much purer as well.

"It seems Xi Qian's newly awakened spiritual body is extraordinary. If this could happen a few more times, breaking through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage would be much easier," Yuan Ming murmured to himself.

He then shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it further, whereas he cultivated to restore his mana and simultaneously took out the Stealing Heaven Tripod to refine it further, aiming to retrieve his divine soul from within it sooner.

Time passed swiftly, and seven days flew by.

A lot happened during this time; first, Xi Qian apparently heard about him from Xi Ying and tried to spar with him multiple times, but was always held back by Xi Ying.

Secondly, Yuan Ming learned from Xi Ying that although Tian Jizi had sent out many people, unfortunately, they couldn't even enter Chang Chun Temple, let alone investigate what Wu Yue Sect was up to.

The last thing was, among the East Sea cultivators, an increasing number were becoming lax in their prayers.

On Yuan Ming's first day in the Yunhuang Alliance, about ten percent of East Sea cultivators stopped praying.

The next day it was twenty percent, and on the third day, thirty percent...

By today, more than seventy percent of East Sea cultivators had ceased their prayers to the Nether Moon God.

A cold sneer flashed in Yuan Ming's eyes, noting the regular cessation of prayers, which he suspected was someone stealthily manipulating things, likely because those from the East Sea saw his weakened divine soul power, not fitting their image of the Nether Moon God, prompting them to act deliberately to test his response.

He had anticipated this, considering everything thus far a transaction. Now, if those from the East Sea no longer wished to worship the Nether Moon God, so be it. However, he wouldn't offer them his protection in the future if they faced troubles.
