The discussion about the Pocket World Technique went very smoothly. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

When it comes to Martial Arts, An Jing is always as passionate as fire.

Although currently, only he and You Ruhui can cultivate it due to certain constraints, others can also prepare in advance. Building a Spirit Qi Furnace within the body using the Dragon Storing Bottle and Dragon Qi Spirit Pill as the foundation is definitely beneficial.

Not only Gu Yeqi and Bai Qinghan, but he also plans to share this line of thinking widely with friends later. The members of the Bright Mirror Sect go without saying, and whether it’s Huo Qingnian Spring of the Tianyuan Realm or his master in the Great Wilderness Realm, he intends to send a set to all for their appreciation and evaluation.

It seems that An Jing’s enthusiasm is contagious, as the discussion among the other three is equally heated.

"The divinity of the Heaven and Earth Seed, or rather ’My Dao Seed’, is essentially the condensation of the Heart Soul, strikingly similar to our Bright Mirror Sect’s ’Mirror Self’."

After An Jing concluded his general discussion, Gu Yeqi moved a soup pot with Hundred Refinement Qi Force and personally served a bowl of mushroom soup to An Jing, smoothly continuing the conversation: "Of course, Mirror Self leans towards ’Body Separation’, while Dao Seed leans towards the Dan Dao’s Lifebound Pill, but there must be points of reference."

"Indeed." An Jing nodded appreciatively: "Although I don’t mind spreading it, after all, I am a person of the Bright Mirror Sect, so my thought process and design naturally tend to lean towards my own Sect."

Upon hearing the praise, Gu Yeqi chuckled softly, his eyes curving, adding another point: "I also noticed that in the Eldest Senior’s design, the Mirror Self can be used as a rehearsal for the Pocket World Technique. Although the Divine Skill shattering will also harm the Soul and Spirit, it’s better than the Soul and Spirit shattering directly resulting in death."

"Truly impressive, Ye Qi!" An Jing did not hold back his praise. He took a sip of the soup, raising his brow: "This soup tastes great, it’s just the flavor I like—did my dad tell you?"

"By the way, where is he?"

"Uncle said he went out fishing and will come back later to make grilled fish." Gu Yeqi answered softly, then turned his head, looking at Bai Qinghan and You Ruhui: "Qinghan, you should drink some too; it’s also spiritual food. And Miss You, sorry about this..."

"It’s alright, I’ll help myself." You Ruhui smiled: "This projection is currently only cast through Emperor’s Blood, although I can communicate at any time, I am unable to eat."

"However, in the future, once I grasp the Yang Soul Technique, I will be able to condense my physical body for dining and travel. At that time, sparring Martial Skills with An Jing will also be more convenient."

At this point, You Ruhui’s expression became solemn: "Furthermore, Miss Gu, your words are not entirely correct; while Mirror Self is indeed an exclusive Great Divine Power, similar Divine Skills for condensing Soul and Spirit into a separate Law Body are explored by various Great Sects. The Earth Vein Dharma Body of the Imperial Court, the Dragon Ball of the Ancestral Dragon Hall, are all similar arts, and I have some accomplishments in them, hence I’m aware, though advantageous, these Divine Skills are not overwhelmingly superior."

"Not to mention, Mirror Self, while being the Basic Divine Power of the Bright Mirror Sect, profound and extraordinary, is quite difficult." On the other side, Bai Qinghan held a bowl of soup, stirring it with a spoon, softly saying: "Both the Earth Vein Dharma Body and the Dragon Ball, one requires Earth Vein, the other demands Dragon Qi and Dragon Blood, which are no less challenging."

"Divine Sect’s side also has similar Secret Techniques, though I’m not very knowledgeable about them. What I do understand pertains more to the ’Nirvana Base’ portion."

"The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Skills is such a Martial Skill that explodes upon Solidifying the Pill. I recall the Eldest Senior independently comprehended this, operating in an Embracing the Pill manner, it’s likely the source of inspiration. However, the data on Divine Sect’s side is abundant, and the information comprehensive. If I bring them over later, it can surely reduce many detours."

The atmosphere of the discussion was quite enthusiastic.

"The atmosphere is very lively. The Pocket World Technique is indeed highly attractive."

An Jing’s discussion could spark such engaged discussions; he listened attentively to each different perspective, feeling satisfied: "Many hands make light work; next time there’s an opportunity, we should hold a seminar with Huo Qingnian Spring. They are more skilled in traditional Alchemy Dao Arrays, and should also have unique insights!"

Since the current Pocket World Technique is still in its early stages, the general concept was concluded quickly, while the details need meticulous deliberation.

An Jing closed his eyes, recording the results of this seminar with a chip. Afterward, he felt somewhat puzzled: "It’s strange, where did my dad go? I’ve saved a portion of the soup for him, it’ll get cold if he doesn’t drink it soon... surely he didn’t really go fishing? Wasn’t he supposed to be buying a fish from the market?"

"Everyone, I’ll go find the old man."

Saying this, An Jing waved a farewell and went out to look for An Qianshan.

And just after An Jing left, several pairs of eyes were raised, intersecting with one another.

"Ye Qi, since when did your cooking get this good?"

Bai Qinghan took a sip of the hot soup, lowering his gaze: "This path of spiritual food really requires arduous efforts."

"Even though I can’t drink it, I can tell the cooking skills are indeed better than mine." You Ruhui also laughed lightly: "Back in Kanming City, during the time when Uncle Guangchen left, An Jing and I took turns cooking, we were complete amateurs."

"It’s not that impressive, I just recently started learning."

Gu Yeqi seemed to find it amusing; she glanced in the direction An Jing had left: "The Eldest Senior doesn’t like others saying his cooking isn’t good—he is quite confident, although it’s indeed not bad."

"On this point alone he is very self-assured, carrying the air of a ten-year veteran chef; I thought when he was with you, he might have been the one doing the cooking." You Ruhui shook her head and looked towards Bai Qinghan, her gaze curious: "Speaking of which, Miss Bai, why didn’t you join the Bright Mirror Sect with Miss Gu?"

"And as for the Heavenly Will over there..."

Saying this, she looked at Bai Qinghan’s white clothes—though pure white, washing traces were visible, completely different from those past flamboyant styles of the Heavenly Will Goddesses: "I remember it’s not a particularly good place, is it?"

"After all, being an orphan girl with no parents after the Demon Disaster, it was impossible to travel with the Red Armor Army, and I wasn’t quite adept at dressing up."

Bai Qinghan sighed softly: "Moreover, being infiltrated within Da Chen’s domain, it’s not feasible to dress too splendidly. I often need to change appearances and travel around, so simple attire is better."

"Miss You as well..." she looked at You Ruhui, dressed almost like in military attire, with a tunic of dark fabric and gold patterns, matching her eyes’ hue, she said softly: "If Eldest Senior hadn’t said, it would really be hard to tell you’re an escaped Da Chen County Princess, more like from some Martial Army."

"After all, with nowhere to call home, not wielding a blade for a living means starving to death."

You Ruhui’s gaze flickered, twirling the tip of her hair: "I honestly didn’t expect it; around An Jing’s side, there are... quite similar people."

The three girls, all without parents, fell silent together for a moment.

It’s at this time that An Jing returned with An Qianshan.

Moreover, they brought along a basket of dumplings!

In fact, just as An Jing planned to pursue An Qianshan’s aura through the air, he saw An Qianshan carrying a basket of dumplings two streets away.
