Fang Yu smiled and said:

"Little Elf... although you possess wisdom, you are still not human. Do you know who these two people are?"

The Little Elf said, "Master, they are just ordinary cultivators. As the Artifact Spirit of the Nine Layer Tower, I recommend choosing individuals with better talent. Previously, when the master went to Wanxian University, there were many talented humans who could be cultivated. There's no need to reshape the Qi Sea, nor does it require much effort from you. Remodeling ordinary people is not worth the cost."

"That's why I said you don't understand."

Fang Yu said softly, "These two are my dearest brothers from years ago. We lived and died together, sharing hardships. Back then, we swore not to be born on the same day of the same month in the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month in the same year. Let alone the loss, as long as they can step onto the path of cultivation, what does any cost matter?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The Little Elf responded:

"So the master made a pledge to die together, that's worth assisting."

"..."

An Artifact Spirit is always just an Artifact Spirit.

It knows wisdom but lacks human emotions.

How could it understand the relationship between Fang Yu and his brothers?

Days long past cannot return.

But they remain his most cherished memories.

"Little Elf... I only ask you, can their souls be refined to a height of over ten thousand years under the premise of safety?"

The Little Elf answered:

"It can be done... but I will need to observe and protect continuously. This will significantly deplete my strength as well."

"It's alright... then I'll trouble you. When needed, I will have the Divine Dragon inject you with spiritual power."

After the Divine Dragon recovered.

Up to this day, Fang Yu has not truly used it.

It can be foreseen,

That the Divine Dragon must possess even greater energy.

As if sensing Fang Yu's thoughts, the Divine Dragon responded with a roar from within Fang Yu's Sea of Consciousness.

Fang Yu had a plan in mind.

He began working on splitting the two bodies.

Energy Magic Patterns bloomed.

Buzz.

Buzz buzz.

Energy Magic Patterns, like silver needles, filled the room like dense fireworks.

Whoosh, whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The weaving-like Energy Magic Patterns began to interlace.

This needed to be refined to the utmost detail.

As if weaving cloth, intricately detailed down to every meridian of the body.

...

About an hour later.

Fang Yu raised his hand once more.

The two bodies in the air were reassembled.

More defined than before.

The most ideal male physique was there.

An hour for the Heavenly Master Realm Fang Yu was rather long, he can now use Mediating Creation.

Methods comparable to an Immortal.

Reshaping a physical body for him is as easy as lifting a hand.

The reason for taking so long.

Is because Fang Yu wanted to help them construct the most perfect Qi Sea.

A naturally formed Qi Sea, with reinforced Qi Sea Walls, meaning from now on, they just need to continuously cultivate and absorb Primordial Qi.

The two descended.

But remained in a state of closed eyes.

Fang Yu asked, "Little Elf, how is the situation on your end?"

Through thought, entering the ninth layer of the Nine Layer Tower, passing through millennia in the time-converting space.

After a few seconds delay, the Little Elf responded: "Master, it's just a bit more time needed... there was a slight error in between, and the two almost couldn't endure the strength of the refining in the time-converting space and dissipated. I spent an additional hundred years to repair their souls."

Fang Yu nodded secretly and said, "Hmm. I will have the Divine Dragon compensate you for that century's energy."

"Master, I'm just an Artifact Spirit, sacrificing for the master is expected."

"Then hurry up... their bodies are completed, and according to my plan, the sooner their souls return to their bodies, the more beneficial it is for their cultivation."

"Yes."

A hundred years in the millennia-converting space is trivial.

Accounting for one percent of the proportion.

Converted over, it's just a few minutes.

Just a bit of waiting is needed.

Sure enough.

Moments later.

The voice of the Little Elf rang out again:

"Master, the soul refinement is complete!"

"Good!"

Fang Yu activated his intention, proactively urging the Nine Layer Tower.

The souls of Yan Hu and Fan Tong flew out from the Nine Layer Tower.

Returning to their original space.

That sense of oppression and the torment of the changing seasons disappeared at once.

The two souls hovered in the air, looking at Fang Yu in shock.

"What on earth happened?"

The two were utterly bewildered.

Completely unaware of what transpired.

Fang Yu said, "You've undergone a soul refinement of ten thousand years, return to your bodies, and I'll explain to you."

He pointed to the two bodies beside them.

Yan Hu and Fan Tong were stunned.

This...

Is our body?

What the heck?

Do I have such a good figure?

Seeing them still in a daze, Fang Yu forcibly used intention to subdue them.

"Return!"

Whoosh!

A gust of wind swept over, ushering the two into their bodies.

Their eyes snapped open.

The two were immediately drenched in sweat. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

This is a normal bodily response.

Everything returned to normal.

Floating sensation, crisis sensation, pain, cold and hot all disappeared.

A warm, cozy sense of security returned to the body.

Yan Hu sat up, examining his body, feeling the changes.

Memories gradually returned to the minds of the two.

They realized why they were here.

Knew why their bodies had changed so.

Also understood the circumstances leading to it.

The only thing they didn't know was why the soul could emerge, why it suffered such torment in an unending space.

Before speaking.

Fang Yu explained with his hands behind his back:

"Everyone has their own willpower. A common person's willpower can keep them standing, endure some hardships, control their body... but to control objects across space, it's far from enough. This is human will; when the will reaches a certain realm, one perceives the finer details around them, much like martial arts experts in TV, with acute senses, which is this realm. At a higher level, one perceives places beyond sight, even seeing with the will, when the will solidifies into a spiritual body, the spiritual body emanates power, and that is the soul!"

Upon hearing this.

Yan Hu and Fan Tong were dumbfounded.

What on earth.

They only knew about cultivators, not about spiritual souls and wills.

Cultivators should just absorb spiritual energy, then fly to the sky and burrow into the earth, right?

What Fang Yu said completely shattered their existing understanding, even though they lived in a city like Jiangzhou for years and had met many cultivators, even chatting with them and learning some things.

What kind of knowledge does Brother Yu have?

Left them utterly confused.

Fang Yu just smiled and said, "You took too big a step, it's understandable to be confused, no rush... let's start from cultivation, I'll teach you a basic set of cultivation mantras."
