Jiang Yuebai was sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding the Condensing Light Mirror, injecting her Divine Sense into it, and saw an endless sea.

The Ice Hornless Dragon coiled up in the middle, sound asleep. She didn’t know how Ao Juan slept, but the Ice Hornless Dragon indeed slept curled up like a mosquito coil.

If she didn’t wake the Ice Hornless Dragon, it would be like a piece of Ten Thousand Years Mystic Ice, devoid of any sign of life.

The peanut-sized Ice Armor Beetle King landed on the Ice Hornless Dragon’s head, its Mystic Ice aura interacted with the Ice Hornless Dragon’s aura, and the blood-colored aura polluting it gradually dissolved into the water and vanished.

Jiang Yuebai tried putting other things into the Condensing Light Mirror, discovering that only spell-type items and those with a Water Ice Attribute could enter the mirror, while others could not.

Seeing the Ice Armor Beetle King unharmed, she realized that living creatures with a Water Ice Attribute could also enter the Condensing Light Mirror.

The water within the mirror was Dragon Transformation Water, and she wondered whether the Ice Armor Beetle King would be affected, possibly mutating to gain some special ability.

Jiang Yuebai had caught this Ice Armor Beetle King back when the Yin Qi leakage at Yinfeng Creek caused heavy snow to become a disaster.

Over the years, the Ice Armor Beetle King had always been quite "opinionated," so she strongly suspected that, like Little Green, it was influenced by Yin Spirits and had Spiritual Wisdom.

"If Little Green were as worry-free as Yuchen, that would be nice."

Jiang Yuebai sighed, causing Little Green, hanging from the ceiling as a lamp, to immediately fly in front of Jiang Yuebai, repeatedly nudging her face, changing the lantern’s color to a melancholic blue.

[I’m cracking up]

Jiang Yuebai gently pushed it away, noticing indeed several small cracks on the lantern’s rim from when it collided with Qing Nangzi.

"Little Green, you have to handle your own issues. How could such small cracks defeat you? You were made from top-grade Purple Fire Crystal, which is highly flexible. Even True Monarch Cang Huo made me a Fire Silk from it back then."

"So, go to the side, use your own fire to burn and melt the cracks shut. From now on, handle such things yourself and don’t let me worry about you, okay? Go on, you’re the best, Little Green!"

[Burn burn burn]

Little Green’s flames fiercely flared up, enthusiastically spinning circles in the room.

Jiang Yuebai shook her head and continued to inspect the Condensing Light Mirror.

Previously, during the battle with Qing Nangzi, the Taihe Umbrella was also polluted by blood aura. Since the Ice Armor Beetle King could use the mirror to cleanse the pollution, surely the Taihe Umbrella could as well.

Jiang Yuebai brought out the Taihe Umbrella; the Crane Feather, originally pure white, seemed dyed in blood, leaving behind an eye-catching redness and the spiritual energy within was rather sluggish.

She used the mirror against the Taihe Umbrella, her Divine Sense activating the ’Receive’ incantation.

The mirror emitted a suction force, gradually transforming the blood aura on the Taihe Umbrella into smoke that floated away, being absorbed into the mirror.

Suddenly, a black stream flowed out from the mirror, absorbing all the blood-colored smoke, emitting an even colder aura than the Ice Hornless Dragon, frenzied and uncontrollable.

Jiang Yuebai quickly stopped, "Is this the materialized Water Thunder?"

In the past, the Condensing Light Mirror absorbed spells, unless she specifically left them behind, they would vanish within the mirror. In that urgent moment, she hadn’t thought about retaining them.

A fist-sized black stream floated above the Condensing Light Mirror, controlled by the mirror’s force, temporarily unable to escape.

The black stream continuously struggled and morphed, its texture resembling mercury, so pitch black it seemed to swallow surrounding light, emitting an incomparably cold and terrifying aura.

Jiang Yuebai had been hit by Water Thunder before and knew this thing was hard for even her Five Spirits Body to endure, for it contained the force of Yin Yang above the Five Elements.

Golden Core attains Five Elements, Nascent Soul comprehends Yin Yang.

The force of Yin Yang during the Golden Core Stage is extremely destructive, almost imperceptible to Golden Core Cultivators resisting it.

Qing Nangzi’s bull body must be special in bloodline to incorporate it and utilize it, but Jiang Yuebai cannot.

Unless... She comprehends her own force of Yin Yang, attaining restrictive balance within.

Jiang Yuebai contemplated the feasibility with all three Divine Thoughts, her eyes gradually brightening.

"The Supreme Yang Power from "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique" after exploding five furnaces can suppress Water Thunder, as long as the quantities of both are controlled well, surely balance can be achieved."

Remembering something, Jiang Yuebai promptly checked her Immortal Cultivation Data Panel.

[Spells/Secret Techniques]

Five Thunders Righteous Method (Fourth Layer: 76,000/100,000)

As her mastery of "Five Thunders Righteous Method" approached the spell’s pinnacle Fifth Layer, her understanding of thunder had become profound.

"Five Thunders Righteous Method" initially practices external Five Thunders, such as the thunder existing among heaven, earth, cloud, water demon—Five in the natural world’s Five Elements. Upon reaching the Fifth Layer, it transitions external Five Thunders to internal Five Thunders.

Similar to how "Vajra Furnace Skill" gathers Five Fires within five organs, internal Five Thunders can be gathered within the five organs.

"But this way, when Thunder Fire clashes, will I not blow myself up?"

While the "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique" tempers organs during the Golden Core Stage, it coincides to strengthen the tension of five organs, potentially resolving this issue.

Various paths lead to the same end, in the heights of cultivation, whether Buddha’s or Daoist techniques, more share commonalities and complement each other.

Regarding Yin Yang Thunder, Jiang Yuebai knew about the Yang Thunder Jian Palace, with Heart Palace Fire Thunder as main, governing Wood Thunder and Earth Thunder, Yin Thunder with Water Thunder in Kidney Palace as main, governing Gold Thunder and Earth Thunder.

"Five Thunders Righteous Method" was a high-level technique she had exchanged for with 20,000 Contribution Points from the sect, and before reaching the Fifth Layer, it remained merely a technique.

Upon achieving the Fifth Layer, it transforms qualitatively, becoming progressively more difficult to cultivate and breakthrough, with very few achieving the Fifth Layer.

Yet within the sect, rumors exist about this technique; predecessors achieved the Fifth Layer through persistence, mastering internal Five Thunders, independently combining Yin Yang Thunder, eventually using thunder as proof to achieve Divinity Transformation.

This predecessor reached the Fifth Layer as a Late-Stage Nascent Soul.

"Looks like I need to work harder, quickly cultivate to the Fifth Layer, with this Water Thunder at hand, I can disassemble and comprehend it through the Lotus Platform Cave Heaven, first merging Water Thunder with utmost righteous energy for balance, and when comprehension suffices, perhaps journey again to Thunder Marsh for the Yang Thunder Jian Palace."

This way, from myriad paths of the Five Elements to myriad paths of Yin Yang, she had a breakthrough opportunity.

"Learning new things again, happy!"

Jiang Yuebai giggled, temporarily sealed the Water Thunder in the Condensing Light Mirror, assessing the losses from this battle.

Firstly, Little Green cracked; it’s not a big problem as it can self-repair.

Then the Silver Luo Needle obtained from Li Shen Zhi was destroyed, the sect’s Lotus Purification Bottle was cracked too; she can find materials as she now knows artifact refining for repairs.

The Taihe Umbrella and Ice Armor Beetle King were polluted, and the Condensing Light Mirror can resolve it.

Her body’s poison and wounds have been healed, and the fatigue from exploding five furnaces and deploying Space Great Forbidden Technique would need one to two months to recuperate.

Finally, there was the Poetry Golden Paper of Saint’s Poems, the life-saving item isn’t meant to be stored forever, and besides that, there remain no other losses.

With such calculations, Jiang Yuebai felt it was manageable; at least she gained a ball of Water Thunder.

Jiang Yuebai suddenly felt happy, but pondering Qing Nangzi’s matters, quickly got up from bed.

As she pulled open the door, Xie Jingshan leaning against it fell at Jiang Yuebai’s feet.

"You recovered so fast?" Xie Jingshan asked joyfully.

"The elixir you gave me were top-grade ones; I may not easily refine them myself. Frankly, you consume such good elixirs for every tiny injury or pain, quite wasteful." Jiang Yuebai said.

Xie Jingshan stood up, "These were given by my grandfather and mother; I don’t have anything else."

Jiang Yuebai appeared speechless, "Go find Shen Huaxi; I have things to ask him."

The two, passing through Feather Clan guards, arrived at Shen Huaxi’s residence. Shen Huaxi seemed delighted with their visit, but Xie Jingshan appeared somewhat awkward, standing at a distance, unwilling to approach.

Actually, he might not even know what exactly he was angry about.

The previous night’s incident was indeed him and Jiang Yuebai barging in; Shen Huaxi secretly calculated Qing Nangzi due to having his Gu within, unable to disclose everything directly.

Restraining him at the last moment was indeed defending rather than offending, with no intent to hurt him.

Yet he felt stifled inside.

Jiang Yuebai glanced back at Xie Jingshan, chose to ignore him, walked over and directly asked, "You mentioned sending someone to the Witch Clan, said to conclude this matter entirely, what do you mean?"

Shen Huaxi invited Jiang Yuebai to sit, briefly explaining Qing Nangzi’s situation with the Witch Clan.

"Wait, what did you just say he was called in the Witch Clan?" Jiang Yuebai interrupted Shen Huaxi.

"Xu Qingye."

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes flickered, "That name sounds familiar; let me think, I must have heard it... Granny Shi Lan!"
