After listening to Wang Xiu, a hint of struggle still lingered in Jiang Yourong's beautiful eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Xiu's eyes flickered as he spoke again, "Moreover, this junior has another audacious request!"

Jiang Yourong's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Another request? I haven't even agreed to the last one! Don't you push your luck, boy!

However, she then heard Wang Xiu say, "This junior knows that Senior's nature is pure and noble, viewing wealth as mere dirt! But rejuvenating the Immortal Sect is a weighty and lengthy task that requires not only time and energy… but also a great deal of money! Therefore, this junior boldly offers fifty percent of the Pet Hospital's revenue to you, Senior. I hope you will accept it!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yourong's furrowed brows relaxed immediately.

According to the method Wang Xiu described, nearly every disciple of the Sanqing Immortal Sect would eventually have a Soul Pet from her. Those disciples wouldn't know how to properly care for them, which would inevitably lead to all sorts of problems. It was foreseeable that the Pet Hospital's income would become extremely substantial.

Fifty percent… That was no small amount!

At this thought, Jiang Yourong couldn't help but feel delighted. This kid, Wang Xiu… he's sensible, knows what he's doing…

"Ahem… Money is like passing clouds to me, but seeing your sincerity, this seat… will reluctantly accept!" Jiang Yourong coughed twice and said with a solemn expression.

[Ding!]

[Detected someone bragging nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana +66!]

"Thank you, Senior!" Wang Xiu's mouth curved into a slight smile.

Jiang Ling'er watched the two converse, her gaze toward Wang Xiu growing more infatuated. Senior Brother… he's really thinking so much for my mother and me? Reviving the Jiuli Immortal Sect was supposed to be our responsibility. But now, Senior Brother is considering so much for us! He's even thought out so many of the details in advance! A Senior Brother like him… is just too wonderful~

After finalizing the many details with Jiang Yourong about gifting Soul Pets and the Pet Hospital's fees, Wang Xiu wasted no time and immediately began making arrangements.

The first step was to establish the Jiuli Hall. Building a new hall from scratch would be time-consuming, laborious, and expensive. Fortunately, there were already existing ones within the Ghost Immortal Blessed Land.

In the core area of the Ghost Immortal Blessed Land stood a continuous stretch of palaces. At the entrance to the main palace, a vertical plaque hung, inscribed with the three words: "Mingxian Palace."

Jiang Yourong gazed at the vast complex of halls before her. As if suddenly sensing something, she exclaimed with delight, "What a great place!"

Much like how the core disciples of the modern Seventy-Two Blessed Land Immortal Gates cultivate within their own Blessed Lands, this place was where the core figures of the Ghost Immortal Sect once resided. It was not only the area with the richest Spiritual Energy, but also the place where ghostly souls gathered in the greatest density. Practicing the arts of the Ghost Immortal Sect here would yield twice the results with half the effort.

For Jiang Yourong and Jiang Ling'er, who needed to nurture Soul Pets, it was naturally a priceless *feng shui* site.

This was especially true for Jiang Ling'er. In a place like this, her Big White Rabbit could gain endless nourishment by wildly devouring the souls! Its power was bound to advance by leaps and bounds.

Wang Xiu said with a smile, "From now on, you two can live here."

"Really, Senior Brother?" Jiang Ling'er asked, pleasantly surprised.

"Of course!"

Hearing this, even Jiang Yourong couldn't suppress the look of joy on her face. Here, her recovery speed would be more than three times faster than in the outside world. The revival of the Jiuli Immortal Sect was just around the corner!

They entered the hall. The furnishings within were ancient and covered in a thick layer of dust, looking as if they had been abandoned for a very long time. Fortunately, these were not major issues.

Wang Xiu casually formed a hand seal and cast a simple Dust Expelling Spell. Before long, the room looked as good as new. He pushed open the window and looked out into the twilight-shrouded wilderness. Beneath the gloomy, silent sky, countless ghostly souls wandered restlessly, occasionally letting out spine-chilling cries.

Honestly, anyone else would probably not dare to live here; they would be plagued by nightmares. But in the eyes of Jiang Yourong and her daughter, these ghostly souls… were all treasures! If they ever came face to face, it was hard to say who would be the one running away.

After they settled in, Wang Xiu and the others got straight to the point.

"Alright, Senior, let's do a practical exercise," Wang Xiu said, looking at Jiang Yourong. "Let's refine a Soul Pet to warm up!"

Jiang Yourong huffed arrogantly. "Just refining a Soul Pet? This seat is handling it, and you're still worried? Do I need to warm up?"

Wang Xiu persuaded her, "If it were an ordinary Soul Pet, this junior naturally wouldn't worry! But the selling point for these Soul Pets isn't their strength… or rather, strength is secondary! The most important thing is their appearance. It doesn't matter if they're a bit weak, they *must* look good! They have to be either handsome and majestic or soft and adorable! That's the fastest way to attract people. So, we still need to do some research!"

"Fine, fine! This seat gets it…" Jiang Yourong waved her hand impatiently. Then, her snow-white, jade-like hands flew into a series of seals, expertly forming the Soul Summoning Curse. "Souls, return to me!"

The next moment, a huge vortex of ghostly energy materialized above the room. From all directions, streams of ghostly souls transformed into streaks of green light and shot toward it. Soon, the palace was completely surrounded. Orbs of spectral fire floated quietly in the air, emanating an unsettling aura.

Jiang Yourong's gaze swept over the crowd of spirits and quickly settled on the soul of a white, Qi Refinement Realm Demon Wolf. "You'll do!"

With a slight lift of her slender hand, the Devil Soul was instantly captured. It condensed into a ball of green light that settled into her palm. She didn't hold back, directly utilizing the Jiuli Demon-Refining Scripture. Right in front of Wang Xiu, she began to refine the Devil Soul into a Soul Pet, step by step.

Before long, the Demon Wolf Soul, which had been ferocious and exuded a brutal aura, had all of its murderous nature suppressed. It trembled and groveled submissively at Jiang Yourong's feet.

Seeing this, Jiang Yourong's lips curled into a smirk. She lifted her chin toward Wang Xiu, deliberately showing off. "How about that? The Jiuli Demon-Refining Scripture of my Jiuli Immortal Sect is quite impressive, isn't it?"

Wang Xiu stepped forward and inspected the state of the Demon Wolf Soul. He nodded thoughtfully. "Aside from the excessive residual killing intent, the numerous impurities, the impure soul-body, the limited potential for growth, and the low cultivation value… it does indeed have its unique points!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yourong's mouth twitched, and her eyes narrowed with killing intent. Her already full and firm top looked as if it was about to burst.

Wang Xiu snapped back to his senses, realizing he had accidentally spoken his true thoughts. He quickly apologized, "My apologies, Senior. I didn't mean it. It was a slip of the tongue…"

A slip of the tongue? Hearing those words, Jiang Yourong completely exploded. Her delicate face contorted with rage as she lunged at Wang Xiu. "You brat, I'll kill you!"

Jiang Ling'er quickly intervened. "Master, don't be rash! Senior Brother didn't mean it…"

Jiang Yourong snorted in fury. "Today, I will make him witness the might of the Jiuli Immortal Sect! Not even Luo Binglan could save him if she were here! I, Jiang Yourong, have said it!"

[Ding!]

[Detected someone boasting nearby. Congratulations to the Host for gaining Mana +66!]

BANG!

SNAP!

AH!

"You brat! Let me go, if you dare!"

A moment later, Jiang Yourong was pinned to the ground, her face flushed with shame and anger as she struggled relentlessly. Her vigorous movements caused her leopard-print skirt to flutter, revealing tantalizing glimpses of her fair, flawless skin—a breathtaking sight.

Wang Xiu wiped the sweat from his forehead. So fair! No, I mean, that was close! Women are such fickle creatures, turning hostile in an instant. It's better to let her cool down on the ground for a bit.

He shook his head and walked slowly toward the Soul Pet that Jiang Yourong had just refined. His hands formed a seal. "Senior, Ling'er, watch closely! This is the Ming Emperor's Soul-Purifying Curse!"
