It's a woman, dressed in a cross-collared ruqun made from Crimson Flame Cloud Brocade, the silk fabric clinging to her undulating curves. From her collarbone to her waist, nine-turn gold thread dark patterns are embroidered, shimmering between the snowy peaks as she walks.

Her waist is so slender, it seems barely a handful.

As the evening breeze blows, the slit in her skirt reveals long legs like carved white jade.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan was about to take a step forward to ask, but the moment he sensed the aura around this woman, he hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed, saying, "Junior Ji Yuan, greets Martial Aunt."

To be able to subtly sense an aura as a Peak of Qi Refining practitioner could only mean she's in Foundation Establishment.

So calling her Martial Aunt is certainly appropriate.

Phoenix Peach looked at the young man bowing before her, and especially after seeing his face, her mood improved by a few degrees.

Fortunately, the one residing here this time is finally not an old man, but rather this handsome junior brother.

She then cheerfully stepped forward and said, "Calling me Martial Aunt makes me sound old."

Rising to the occasion, Ji Yuan, inspired by the moment, clasped his hands again and said, "Greetings, Martial Sister."

"Hmph, at least you have some insight."

Phoenix Peach turned her head to look at the courtyard, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.

"My name is Phoenix Peach, you should know that, right?"

"Pre... Were you previously living in this courtyard, Martial Sister?"

Ji Yuan had seen the writing on the wall, so he naturally knew of the name.

"Yes, those two peach trees in the courtyard, I planted them. It was because you ate a peach that I knew a newcomer had arrived."

"Hurry up and open the door, I want to go inside and take a look."

Phoenix Peach urged.

Ji Yuan hurriedly agreed, then glanced at the panel, confirming that all architectural effects inside the house were deactivated before stepping forward to open the door and inviting Phoenix Peach into the house.

Once Phoenix Peach stepped inside, she picked a peach right away and took a delicious bite.

"Good, still the same taste!"

Ji Yuan stood nearby, smiling and said, "Of course, since entering the sect, this junior brother has carefully tended to the two peach trees, even burying a few Spirit Stones under them each month for the trees to absorb."

Phoenix Peach gave him a once-over.

"You like peaches too?"

"Naturally, back at my hometown in Cloud Rain Marsh, I have two peach trees planted, too. They taste great; the kids in my neighbor's house often drool at them."

Ji Yuan said very earnestly.

Because what he said was true.

Planting peach trees was true, and Ling Er drooling was also true... although it was from sourness.

Didn't drool count?

"It seems we do share a connection."

Phoenix Peach finished the peach and clapped her hands, "Following the tradition of this house, one must leave something for those who come after."

"Last time, I left an Alchemy Manual for the old man before, and he should also have left you something, so technically, I don't need to give anything else."

"But considering the connection we have, I will also give you a present. Tell me, what do you need?"

What a good thing... Ji Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Martial Sister is an alchemist?"

"Indeed."

Phoenix Peach lifted her chin and said, "I am a Tier Two High Grade Alchemist, do you want me to help you refine a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"That's not impossible, but it would require extra payment."

"No, no, no, this junior brother wouldn't dare to hope for that... it's just, just, this junior brother has always struggled to find the knack for Tier Two elixirs, and humbly seeks Martial Sister's guidance."

For the present Ji Yuan, the most important task was naturally to refine a Tier Two Water Spirit Pill, and thus upgrade the [Alchemy Room] to level 2.

"What? You can also refine pills?"

This genuinely surprised Phoenix Peach, making it seem they indeed have some connection with each other.

Ji Yuan, hearing this, spread his hands with a slight smile: "Martial Sister also said that we do share a connection."
