"What are your plans from here on?" Song Wen asked.

"To live well, and to cultivate diligently. If one day, I can advance to the Nascent Soul stage, I will tread through the Fang city and avenge my eldest son," Shan Yue said, her gaze resolute.

Song Wen casually responded, "Then I wish you success in forming your Nascent Soul and achieving your heart's desire."

Shan Yue replied, "I know. I realize that the chances of advancing to Nascent Soul are slim, and even if I were to somehow form it, I would be no match for Xing Wenyao. But as long as I'm alive, there will always be a glimmer of hope."

Seeing that Song Wen wasn't responding, Shan Yue continued.

"Right now, I have no fixed place to stay. I wonder if, considering our shared past, you might take me in for a while?"

As she spoke, she removed her black cloak, revealing her stunning face.

Then, she slowly stepped forward and threw herself into Song Wen's arms.

Song Wen immediately felt her soft, fragrant body in his embrace, and his hand naturally settled on her slender waist.

Just as he was about to take further action, Song Wen suddenly remembered something and asked,

"Did you say the Xing family is still hunting you?"

"Yes," Shan Yue replied, looking pitiable.

"How are they tracking you?" Song Wen inquired.

"I left my soul lamp with the Xing family."

"Fellow Daoist, please behave yourself," Song Wen said, his expression turning stern, and a powerful aura surged out.

The immense pressure caused Shan Yue to stagger backward, taking several steps.

She looked at Song Wen in surprise, as though her beauty trap had failed, clearly shocked.

"The ones hunting me are not a match for you. They are merely a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator," Shan Yue continued.

"With your trump cards, you can't deal with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator?" Song Wen questioned skeptically.

"During my years of fleeing, I've already used up all those trump cards," Shan Yue answered.

"Do you want me to help you kill your pursuers and retrieve your soul lamp?" Song Wen asked.

Shan Yue shook her head, her brows furrowing deeply.

"At that time, to show his affection for me, Xing Gaohan specially made a soul lamp and placed it in the palace where he lived. This means the Xing family has two of my soul lamps."

"Two soul lamps?" Song Wen asked. "In that case, if you want to escape the Xing family's pursuit entirely, you'll need a treasure that can hide your soul fluctuations."

"Are you talking about the Soul Concealment Jade? But that requires the third-stage bone from a Nether Fox," Shan Yue said, her expression filled with worry as she looked up at Song Wen. "Can you acquire the Soul Concealment Jade?"

"I don't have that ability, and besides, this is something you should be concerned with, not me," Song Wen replied coldly.

He raised his hand and waved, sending out a burst of spiritual power.

The power wrapped around Shan Yue, pulling her out of the flying ship.

"I have some urgent matters to attend to. We part ways here."

"Are you really going to watch me die without helping?" Seeing that Song Wen was about to leave, Shan Yue urgently shouted.

Song Wen ignored her, and the ship accelerated, heading toward the distant horizon.

"I have the third-level technique of the 'Focused Spirit Stab.'"

The ship suddenly slowed down, making a curved path in the air before returning to Shan Yue's side.

"Where did you get the third-level technique?" Song Wen asked.

Shan Yue explained, "After being humiliated by you last time, I realized that only my own cultivation is truly reliable. So, I began training diligently and successfully cultivated the first layer of the Focused Spirit Stab. Xing Gaohan, believing I had an affinity for spiritual sense attack techniques, rewarded me with the third layer of the technique."

Song Wen stared coldly at Shan Yue. "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you and take the technique after revealing this to me?"

Shan Yue pointed to her head and said, "The technique is in my mind. You can't simply take it."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Song Wen's lips. "How can I be sure you're telling the truth?"

"Calm the mind, focus the spirit, lock the restless heart; close your eyes, regulate your breath, and embrace the emptiness. Let each thought flow to the pure land, guiding energy through heaven and earth, piercing the cold..."

Shan Yue slowly recited a segment of the cultivation technique.

Having already cultivated the first two layers of the Focused Spirit Stab, Song Wen easily recognized that what Shan Yue recited was indeed the third layer of the technique.

"Unfortunately for you," Song Wen said, "even with the third layer of the technique, I can't obtain a Soul Concealment Jade for an exchange with you. Moreover, cultivating the third layer requires consuming a Saintly Spirit Pill, which I have no means of refining. Even with the technique, it would be of little use to me."

Shan Yue responded, "What if I could help you acquire a Saintly Spirit Pill?"

Song Wen squinted slightly. "Do you have a Saintly Spirit Pill on you?"

Shan Yue replied, "I don't have one, but the Xing family does. The last time they refined a batch, one pill remained, and it's stored in their treasury."

"The Xing family treasury! You don't think I have the strength to storm their treasury, do you?" Song Wen sneered.

Shan Yue, full of confidence, said, "Charging in headfirst is certainly impossible. But I have a way to obtain it through cunning."

"I'm all ears," Song Wen said, his interest piqued.

Shan Yue explained, "Jing Feiyao, as Xing Gaohan's legitimate wife, should have been purged by Xing Wenyao. However, with the Jing family backing her, she survived unscathed. Furthermore, for reasons unknown, Xing Wenyao married Jing Feiyao as his principal wife and even accepted her young son of questionable parentage. Xing Wenyao dotes on Jing Feiyao immensely."

"And how is this related to the Saintly Spirit Pill?" Song Wen asked.

Shan Yue said, "I have evidence of Jing Feiyao having an affair with a guard. Initially, I planned to use it to overthrow Jing Feiyao and take her place as Xing Gaohan's legitimate wife. However, before I could present the evidence, Xing Gaohan died."

Song Wen remarked, "An accusation of infidelity might not be enough to force Jing Feiyao into submission."

"You don't understand," Shan Yue said. "Jing Feiyao, as a woman who served two husbands in the Xing family across generations, has already caused significant controversy within the family. These controversies were only suppressed through Xing Wenyao's martial strength. If rumors of her affair with a guard spread, Jing Feiyao would have no place in the Xing family. Xing Wenyao's attitude toward her would likely shift dramatically."

Song Wen said, "Even so, how can you be sure Jing Feiyao could obtain the Saintly Spirit Pill from the treasury?"

Shan Yue replied, "I can't guarantee it, but given Jing Feiyao's significant influence within the Xing family, thanks to Xing Wenyao's favoritism and the Jing family's support, the chances are not low."

Song Wen pondered for a moment and then said, "I can consider finding a way to help you obtain a Soul Concealment Jade, but I can't promise success."

Shan Yue's face lit up with a radiant smile. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist."

Song Wen piloted his flying ship toward Wu Ji Island.

He retrieved a communication jade slip and first contacted Chu Qian.

"Brother Chu, can you acquire a Soul Concealment Jade?"

After a short wait, Chu Qian replied, "Senior, you overestimate me. How could I possibly obtain such a treasure?"

"Do you know anyone who might have it?" Song Wen asked.

"I recall that you are acquainted with Elder Zhu Yin. She is a direct disciple of the Demon Lord and might have access to such treasures."

"Thank you."

Ending the communication with Chu Qian, Song Wen took out Zhu Yin's jade slip.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu Yin, I have a matter to inquire about. Do you happen to have a Soul Concealment Jade or any treasure that can mask soul fluctuations?"
