Although Spiritual Energy was not abundant, she felt stronger than when she was in full status before, with not a trace of weakness.

"A hundred Spirit Stones for the cultivation technique...so difficult!" She activated the cleaning spell on her Magic Robe to remove the sweat caused by tension.

Next, she would restore Spiritual Power to reach the level of the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, and then cultivate the "Clear Breeze Reflecting Water" investigation magic.

"Take a break." Immortal finally contentedly picked up a storybook to reward herself!

On the other side.

Little Moon Cave.

"Boom!"

A trace of blood spilled from Jiang Xiaoyue's lip.

It's the injury caused by suppressing the pill furnace explosion.

She remained unchanged, accustomed to it, and uncovered the pill furnace lid to dump out the dark remnants.

"Baa~~" The Spiritual Sheep grinned on the side.

"There's nothing to eat today." Jiang Xiaoyue wiped the blood from her lips.

The Spiritual Sheep was anxious and directly charged.

"Are you crazy!" Jiang Xiaoyue darted away, knowing the Qi Refining Third Level Spiritual Sheep's horn was no joke?

It would pierce through any obstacle.

Escaping the cave, she was gloomy, seven days had passed, and eleven furnace explosions; she hadn't even started.

"What's wrong?"

She looked up to see Immortal walking over from the stele.

Jiang Xiaoyue shook her head: "Nothing, just came out for fresh air. How's your cultivation? How do the 182 meridians feel?" She laughed.

Immortal also shook her head and sighed: "By the way, Xiaoyue, can you lend me a bottle of Qi Nourishing Pills, I'll repay you after the next fishing."

"Sure." Jiang Xiaoyue took out the Qi Nourishing Pills from her Storage Bag, "I haven't been cultivating much lately, so I still have some left..."

Suddenly, she halted the gesture of handing over the pill bottle.

"Xian'er," she stared at Immortal's face, "you're smiling so slyly, just like Ni."

"What do you mean I'm smiling as slyly as I am!" The Immortal before her suddenly morphed into Xu Ni through a wave of water.

Jiang Xiaoyue curiously observed her while putting away the Qi Nourishing Pills.

"You mastered 'Water Moon Mirror Flower'?"

"I, Xu Ni, retreated for seven days of rigorous cultivation and finally mastered it today, then added points and directly made small progress." Xu Ni looked proud.

Unable to maintain her profound appearance for more than a second, she couldn't wait to say:

"Points are really amazing! The 'Water Moon Mirror Flower' I now possess has reached the highest realm recorded on the Jade Scroll, no one can see through my disguise!"

"As long as you don't smile." Jiang Xiaoyue reminded her.

"That was because I wasn't serious." Xu Ni replied grumpily.

It was indeed true.

But even if she were serious, with Jiang Xiaoyue's familiarity with Xu Ni and Immortal, plus knowing about "Water Moon Mirror Flower," she could still see who was in front of her.

In this way, Xu Ni could deceive strangers, but really going undercover might be unrealistic.

Parts forming a person aren't just appearances but also include temperament, experiences, and actions, including how others perceive them.

Once anything doesn't match, suspicion arises.

Jiang Xiaoyue thought of her alchemy again.

"Ni, do I really not have talent?" She hesitated.

Xu Ni said: "Which Alchemist didn't take months to enter the field and years to become proficient, decades to become an expert; you've only experienced a few furnace explosions?"

"The problem is, I've had eleven furnace explosions with no insights."

"I don't understand alchemy either, I don't know if it shows you have no talent, and even if you lack talent it's okay; once you spend six months you can start, add points directly for small progress, what are you afraid of."

Jiang Xiaoyue slowly nodded.

"Do you want me to teach you my secret cultivation method?" Xu Ni suddenly said.

"Secret cultivation method?"

Xu Ni looked around, leaning her lips towards Jiang Xiaoyue's ear:

"You've got too much fire energy, can't calm down. I'll teach you a move — take out your Imaging Stone, lie down, keep moist...with fingertips...or lightly pat...or gently rub...so on and so forth...back and forth."

"Go away!" Jiang Xiaoyue pushed her away, her face burning.

Xu Ni shrugged indifferently: "Trust me."

She turned back to the Nun Cave: "Hurry and start, I hope I can sell your Qi Gathering Pills after the next trade journey."

Jiang Xiaoyue felt the words 'Nun Cave' particularly ironic.

Xu Ni needed to apologize to all the nuns in the world!

After clearing her mind for a while, she returned to Little Moon Cave, and the Spiritual Sheep charged directly at her!

She dodged, pinching a spell with her hand.

Whoosh!

A spark ignited, quickly expanding into a bird egg-sized red fireball.

Extreme heat swept through the cavern, making the air twist.

The Spiritual Sheep immediately braked with all four legs, its wool began curling, nearly ignited.

Jiang Xiaoyue sneered: "Will you come again?"

"Baa~~" The Spiritual Sheep looked teary-eyed, a pitiful expression as if saying she was bullying it.

Jiang Xiaoyue launched the fireball, turning the stone wall into molten rock.

She opened up another cave, driving the Spiritual Sheep inside.

The Spiritual Sheep had developed intelligence, wouldn't disturb her cultivation, and could act as a protector; before she didn't separate living quarters, but after today's events, she decided... to separate!

The fireball quickly excavated a cave.

Before her parents had an accident, they decided to train Jiang Xiaoyue to become an Alchemist — otherwise, she wouldn't have been dreaming of relying on farming and alchemy, so the mastery of the Fireball Technique was decent.

On the data panel, it showed (Entry: 81/100).

Points directly increase a level, meaning if she enhanced the Fireball Technique now, she could only add 19 points, reaching (Small Mastery: 1/100).

Not worthwhile.

So, she didn't use points to improve the Fireball Technique.

Once again, she opened the alchemy insights, calming her mind, then took out some materials and began the Qi Gathering Pill alchemy.

Before long.

Boom!

"Baa~" a sheep cry came from next door.

Jiang Xiaoyue wore a grim expression.

Her self-doubt, heartache for the pill furnace, reluctance for materials, worry from falling behind the other two, all mixed with the explosion and sheep's cry, surged in her heart.
