　　Gu Wentian turned to Ye Wushuang again and said with a smile, “Take this white bone sword and follow this path to the valley ahead. There, you’ll find some items I stored. They’re of no use to me now.”
　　”Thank you！”
　　Ye Wushuang cupped her hands in gratitude.
　　Gu Wentian gazed at his beloved wife Ning Xi with deep affection, and the couple headed toward the other side of the valley.
　　That place resembled a paradise, with breathtaking scenery.
　　This was the final farewell time for the two of them, and Ye Wushuang didn’t want to disturb it either.
　　”What a fine sword！”
　　Zhou Yuan looked at the white bone sword in Ye Wushuang’s hand and couldn’t help but say, “Forged from the essence bone of a sacred beast, it’s even more spiritual. Nurture it well, and who knows—it might become usable once you reach the Sage Heaven Realm.”
　　Ye Wushuang glanced at Zhou Yuan and said with a chuckle, “You fancy it？”
　　”Hehe, it’s a sacred artifact. What sage wouldn’t covet it？ But since Gu Wentian gave it to you, it wouldn’t be right for me to snatch it！”
　　Ye Wushuang couldn’t be bothered to respond.
　　The two of them headed together toward the other side of the valley.
　　Striding forward, soon, two figures appeared in yet another small valley within the main valley.
　　This valley had dark red stones, and stepping into it, one could immediately sense surges of pure blood qi pulsating.
　　Once fully immersed in it, Ye Wushuang instantly felt an intensely numbing sensation spreading throughout his entire body.
　　Wave after wave of blood qi surged, drilling into the limbs and meridians of his body.
　　However, the current Ye Wushuang had already reached the pinnacle of the Deluded Self Realm. No matter how much blood qi there was, absorbing it now held no meaning for him.
　　Only by breaking through to the Star-Plucking Realm could he continue to condense blood qi into his body.
　　While it was meaningless for Ye Wushuang, it was greatly beneficial for Zhou Yuan.
　　Zhou Yuan himself was originally a sage, but his vital energy and soul were nearly extinguished before being rescued by Ye Wushuang.
　　Now he relies solely on the Heavenly Abyss Sacred Cauldron to protect himself at critical moments.
　　And if this vital energy could be absorbed into his body, it would undoubtedly bring immense benefits to his recovery from the decay of his flesh and blood.
　　”Such refined vital energy. It seems Gu Wentian truly prepared extensively to resurrect Ning Xi.”
　　Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and couldn’t help saying, “My old body’s vital energy is now loose and weak, precisely in need of this refined vital energy to refine my meridians. Young Ye, you’re already at the peak of the Reckless Self Realm and have no use for it.”
　　”Just count yourself lucky！” Ye Wushuang remarked indifferently.
　　Zhou Yuan chuckled and walked deeper into the small valley, where he saw a blood pool. The refined vital energy permeating the entire valley emanated from this pool.
　　Without hesitation, Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged by the blood pool, generating an attractive force within his body to draw the refined vital energy from the pool into himself.
　　Ye Wushuang held the Bone Sword, observing the scene in the small valley.
　　”Hmm？”
　　A faint, delicate fragrance drifted to his nose. Ye Wushuang paused mid-step and turned his gaze toward a corner.
　　Several lotuses exuding a subtle, intoxicating fragrance bloomed quietly there.
　　Ye Wushuang squatted down and carefully examined those few lotus plants.
　　”Blazing　Crimson　Lotus！”
　　The lotus stood about a foot tall, and in the center of each bloom was a seedpod, with the lotus seeds inside shimmering faintly.
　　This was no longer just a spiritual plant.
　　It was a true sacred plant！
　　There were nine Blazing Crimson Lotuses in total, each in full bloom, exuding a rich aura.
　　Ye Wushuang looked closely and saw that the soil beneath the Blazing Crimson Lotus was not ordinary spiritual soil but rare volcanic soil.
　　”Gu Wentian really went to great pains.”
　　Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but sigh.
　　The Blazing Crimson Lotus held countless profound benefits for those at the Saint-level or entering the Heavenly Saint Realm, its value beyond measure.
　　Even for a Saint, cultivating a single plant would be extremely difficult.
　　Yet there were nine here.
　　This showed just how much effort Gu Wentian had put in.
　　Ye Wushuang crouched down and carefully transplanted all nine Blazing Crimson Lotuses, along with the volcanic soil, into the first layer of the Ninefold Divine Suppression Tower.
　　After finishing this, Ye Wushuang turned to inspect other parts of the small valley and discovered two more extremely rare sacred herbs.
　　”Yin-Yang Flower！”
　　”Purple Blood Jade Mushroom！”
　　That Two Forms Flower has symmetrical leaves, resembling the two forms (Yin-Yang), with a faint blue glow at its central core, making it extremely unique.
　　As for the Purple Blood Jade Fungus, it clings to the cliff wall, enveloped in purple light, yet resembling an uncarved jade with flickering blood-red hues.
　　These three sacred plants are exceptionally rare and immensely valuable to sages.
　　Especially the Purple Blood Jade Fungus！
　　The effects of this Purple Blood Jade Fungus are several times stronger than those of the Purple Star Blood Ginseng.
　　Ye Wushuang had always remembered Bai Siqi, Mu Xu, Mu Qinghe, and others who traveled thousands of miles from the Tianxuan Continent just to find the Purple Star Blood Ginseng. Now, with this Purple Blood Jade Fungus, the Purple Star Blood Ginseng was no longer necessary.
　　This was what made Ye Wushuang the happiest.
　　The three sacred plants were collected one by one and placed on the first floor of the Nine-Layered Divine Suppression Tower.
　　Now, this vast first floor had become quite lively.
　　The Enlightenment Spirit Tree.
　　The Kirin Blood Vine.
　　Along with the Undying Fusang Tree.
　　And the Crimson Divine Insects.
　　The presence of various spiritual plants and treasures could be considered Ye Wushuang’s accumulated assets.
　　The Two Forms Flower, Blazing Karma Red Lotus, and Purple Blood Jade Fungus—these three sacred plants were certainly not something Ye Wushuang could use now, but they would surely be of great use in the future！
　　Soon, Ye Wushuang continued exploring the small valley and discovered a stone wall that clearly reflected his own figure.
　　”Origin　Reflection　Wall！”
　　Ye Wushuang’s face showed a hint of surprise.
　　The Origin Reflection Wall is crafted from a unique type of jade found in nature. Standing before it daily for meditation can help martial artists achieve a more steady and tranquil state of mind.
　　Moreover, practicing martial techniques in front of this wall not only reveals flaws in the techniques but also promptly highlights personal cultivation errors.
　　”Let me give it a try！”
　　Feeling inspired, Ye Wushuang summoned the Sacred Heaven Sword.
　　The Celestial Thunder Annihilation Sword Art erupted instantly.
　　A single sword stroke.
　　Spirit Thunder Sword Seal.
　　Sword energy condensed into seal-like patterns, carrying terrifying Spirit Thunder power, exploding in an instant.
　　Boom…
　　The Origin Reflection Wall bore the brunt of Ye Wushuang’s sword strike, then began to shimmer with light.
　　Soon, the wall reflected Ye Wushuang’s figure, also wielding a sword, striking out and executing the Spirit Thunder Sword Seal.
　　Ye Wushuang stood before the Origin Reflection Wall, carefully observing the version of himself that had materialized within it.
　　”Just as I thought！”
　　Ye Wushuang remarked, “I’ve practiced this sword art before, but now that I’m cultivating it again, my physical and spiritual awareness have changed significantly, leading to deviations.”
　　”When executing this strike, the momentum is too concentrated within the sword technique itself and fails to fully extend into the blade！”
　　Ye Wushuang swung his sword once more…
　　Thus, before the Tongyuan Wall, Ye Wushuang practiced both the Thunderfall Heavenly Sword Art and the Myriad Flames Sword Technique in full, then continuously adjusted his strikes based on the flaws revealed by the Tongyuan Wall.
　　Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan sat cross-legged by the blood pool, absorbing the pure essence of qi and blood without pause.
　　Time passed bit by bit.
　　”Huff…”
　　Letting out a soft exhale, Ye Wushuang felt considerably more relaxed at this moment.
　　This Tongyuan Wall was beneficial even for the cultivation of Saints, let alone a minor figure like him at the Delusional Realm.
　　”You truly are no ordinary genius.”
　　A voice suddenly rang out behind him.
