“Little junior sister, don’t dwell on things you can’t figure out. Things will sort themselves out in time,” Mo Jinghong said solemnly.
Feng Qingran met Mo Jinghong’s beautiful eyes, nodded, picked up the teacup, and drank it all in one go.
She rose to her feet, lightly brushed her sleeve, and several items appeared on the tea table.
“Seventh senior brother, please help me deliver these things to our senior brothers and sisters. I’m going back into seclusion,” Feng Qingran bid farewell and left.
She didn’t specify at all who each gift was meant for.
Mo Jinghong glanced sideways at the items on the table, a faint smile appearing between his brows.
At that moment—
Zhuo Yan flew out of the cave dwelling, indignant. “Master, is she deliberately making things difficult for you? These things on the table… she didn’t even make clear who they’re for!”
“She already did,” Mo Jinghong replied, his ink-jade-like eyes gleaming faintly. He collected the tea set, every movement exuding unparalleled elegance.
Zhuo Yan’s bird eyes widened in disbelief. “When did she say that?!” It had been eavesdropping the whole time!
Mo Jinghong narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly. “The Purple Extreme Vermilion Flame Stone is for Third Senior Sister. The seventh-grade talisman brush is for Sixth Senior Sister. The Spirit Origin Fruit is for Eldest Senior Brother…”
Zhuo Yan was puzzled. “Why can’t the Purple Extreme Vermilion Flame Stone be given to Mu Qianjue? He needs it for forging too…”
“Fourth Senior Brother has an exotic flame. Third Senior Sister does not.”
Mo Jinghong gathered the items from the table, mounted his sword, and left Mozhu Peak.

Lingyun Sect, Tenth Peak.
“Master, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have taken it upon myself to seal the Void Space,” Yuan Bao said timidly, fluttering its little wings.
Yuan Bao was terrified that Feng Qingran might abandon it.
After all, from a master’s perspective, a tool spirit should be one hundred percent obedient.
Yet, after Feng Qingran entered the Ten Directions Realm, it had sealed off the Void Space on its own, disregarding her life or death.
Feng Qingran rested her chin on one hand. “Yuan Bao, you haven’t realized where your mistake truly lies…”
“Master, I’m sorry,” Yuan Bao’s voice trembled with sobs. “Master, please don’t cast me aside. I’ll change, I promise…”
Feng Qingran’s fingers lightly tapped on the table, producing a crisp sound.
“Was it Qi who could detect the Void Space?” Feng Qingran asked, her apricot eyes sharpening.
When Qi mentioned the Void Space, she had already begun to suspect something.
“The Great Demon King is incredibly powerful. I didn’t dare to take the risk. If he discovered the Void Space and targeted you, I wouldn’t have been able to save you,” Yuan Bao explained fearfully.
A sense of crisis rose within Feng Qingran. The Void Space absolutely must not be discovered by anyone.
But across the Three Thousand Worlds, experts like Qi are countless.
If they discovered the Void Space, they wouldn’t be like Qi; they would seize it by force without hesitation.
“Yuan Bao, why didn’t you tell me before about the possibility of the Void Space being discovered?” Feng Qingran’s tone was serious.
Ever since coming to Lingyun Sect, Yuan Bao had been reluctant to come out.
It must have sensed Qi’s presence early on.
“Master, back then I wasn’t sure if Qi was here or not. Later, I sensed the aura of a fierce beast on Luan Jin, so I thought I had been overthinking it,” Yuan Bao sniffled as it spoke.
“Yuan Bao, there are things you must tell me,” Feng Qingran said sternly, though she didn’t press the matter further.
If she were powerful enough, Yuan Bao wouldn’t need to have such concerns.
Yuan Bao felt guilty. “Master, I know I was wrong. From now on, I will tell you everything immediately.”
“Once you advance to the Virtual God stage and open up your own Cave Void, you can place the Void Space within it. At that point, no one will be able to detect its existence.”
“Actually, you could also place the Void Space within your sea of consciousness. Your consciousness is already strong enough. However, burdening it with too much too early isn’t conducive to enhancing your spiritual sense.”
Yuan Bao poured out everything it knew.
Feng Qingran’s eyes gleamed thoughtfully. Many powerful cultivators do indeed create spaces within their sea of consciousness.
The extent of such a space usually depends on the breadth of one’s spiritual sense.
But doing so also carries risks.
If the spiritual sense is damaged, it might become impossible to retrieve items from that space.
Therefore, most cultivators still prefer using storage artifacts.
However, using storage artifacts also carries the risk of being robbed.
Thus, in the world of cultivation, the most important thing isn’t how many treasures one possesses, but possessing supreme strength.
Only by standing at the pinnacle of power, fearless and unconstrained, can one avoid being timid and hesitant.
Yuan Bao’s instinctive reaction to danger wasn’t wrong.
“Yuan Bao, you are my tool spirit, and also my companion. I hope we can be open and honest with each other,” Feng Qingran’s gaze softened as she gently pinched Yuan Bao’s cute little wing.
Yuan Bao stopped crying and waved its tiny fist. “Master, from now on, I will definitely be your perfect helper!” It was determined to outshine even Mo Jinghong!
Feng Qingran: “…”
That really isn’t necessary.
Feng Qingran waved her hand, summoning Feng Ci. “Feng Ci, do you have any siblings, or perhaps children?”
“Hey, woman! What nonsense are you spouting? This lord is a ten-thousand-year virgin egg!” Feng Ci retorted angrily.
