Chapter 9: Artifact Spirit

After the meal, under Feng Qin's guidance, Xuanyuan Yinyue held the "washing ceremony" for Xuanyuan Che.

With Feng Qin taking care of Xuanyuan Che, Xuanyuan Yinyue had more time to cultivate. Furthermore, Xuanyuan Ming had sent her quite a few spiritual herbs over the past few days. Having absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy, Xuanyuan Yinyue successfully formed her Nascent Soul on the fourth day after Xuanyuan Che’s washing ceremony!

However, unlike other cultivators, Xuanyuan Yinyue’s Nascent Soul was seated upon a lotus pedestal. Although she did not know why her Nascent Soul was different from others, she vaguely felt that it had something to do with the *Wanxiang Baodian* (Ten Thousand Phenomena Canon) she was cultivating.

Forming the Nascent Soul meant that Xuanyuan Yinyue had truly stepped onto the path of cultivation, and she now had the ability to open the first layer of the Spirit Ring’s restrictions!

Taking the Spirit Ring from her neck, Xuanyuan Yinyue focused her mind, and her body instantly entered the space within the ring.

The Spirit Ring’s storage capacity was immense; if possible, it could even hold the entire Shengyu Continent. The place where Xuanyuan Yinyue was currently standing was where the first layer of the restriction was located.

Looking at the stone chamber before her, which resembled a cave dwelling, Xuanyuan Yinyue narrowed her purple eyes slightly, then abruptly unleashed her spiritual power, crashing it against the restrictive formation in front of the stone chamber.

With a loud "boom," the first layer of the restrictive formation was shattered into pieces by Xuanyuan Yinyue, and the entrance to the stone chamber was laid bare before her.

Before Xuanyuan Yinyue could even lift her foot to enter, a little fellow over a foot tall shouted "Master!" and shot toward her arms.

Xuanyuan Yinyue reacted with lightning speed, extending her hand to block him. Consequently, the little fellow miserably slammed headfirst into her palm and fell onto his bottom on the ground.

"Master!" The completely naked little fellow had tears welling up in his eyes, looking at Xuanyuan Yinyue with extreme grievance, complaining about why she hadn't caught him.

"Who are you?" Xuanyuan Yinyue looked down at the little fellow sitting on the ground and asked.

"I'm Ling'er, the ring spirit of the Spirit Ring. I was the one who brought Master to this world, but Master doesn't even recognize me! Ling'er is so sad!" The little fellow’s expression was extremely aggrieved; he scrambled up and hugged Xuanyuan Yinyue’s calf tightly, as if afraid she would kick him away.

The little fellow’s words reminded Xuanyuan Yinyue of the purple light she saw before her death. So, she really had been brought to this world by this ring.

"Alright, I know now. Let go of me first; I need to go in and see what's inside." Xuanyuan Yinyue tried to make her voice sound less cold; after all, the other party was just a small child.

Upon hearing this, the little fellow immediately climbed up her body with agile movements and hung onto her arm, saying quite proudly, "Master, if you want to know anything, you can ask Ling'er. Ling'er knows exactly what is in here!"

Xuanyuan Yinyue didn't shoo him away. "Hmm, I need a pill furnace, as well as a dozen or so spiritual herbs." Although she had practiced the *Wanxiang Baodian* to the third level in her past life and memorized many ancient prescriptions, this was her first time attempting to refine pills. Moreover, the refining materials recorded in the *Wanxiang Baodian* did not exist on Earth, so even if she had wanted to refine pills back then, it would have been impossible.

Upon hearing this, Ling'er flicked his small hand, and a simple yet majestic pill furnace immediately appeared before Xuanyuan Yinyue.
