"Is this thing genuinely stupid or just pretending?"
"Seriously."
"Without this ancient bronze sword of mysterious origin, a hundred souls of Ning Beichen wouldn't be a match for this soul."
"So, Ning Beichen seeing this thing so easily letting go of his defenses actually made Ning Beichen hesitate a little."
"What am I afraid of? With the ancient bronze sword in hand, this thing can't stir up any major trouble."
"Ning Beichen didn't hesitate to leave his mark within its soul."
"Soon, he established a subtle connection with this giant soul. With just a thought, Ning Beichen could make this giant soul suffer a fate worse than death."
"Since it was under control, there was no longer any need for the ancient bronze sword. Thus, Ning Beichen put it away."
"And this soul didn't do anything to make Ning Beichen uneasy or suspicious. It floated in place obediently like a good child, waiting for Ning Beichen to give it a sticker."
"Seeing that it made no move, Ning Beichen nodded his head repeatedly and then said to it,"
"'Alright, I believe you. But you look a bit unwell. Do you want to rest for a while?'"
"The giant soul nodded. This time, it didn't pretend to be strong, because it was indeed in a terrible state. Its entire soul was on the verge of disappearing."
"Therefore, seeing Ning Beichen now, especially the sword on Ning Beichen's back, made it extremely flustered and dared not approach Ning Beichen."
"'Fine, you rest first. But I warn you, don't try any tricks. I spared you once, and I can kill you again.'"
"Ning Beichen warned it."
"The giant soul nodded in a panic. It didn't dare to run far, and recovered right under Ning Beichen's nose."
"After about two hours, Ning Beichen saw that this giant soul seemed to have recovered considerably. Its body gradually changed from a transparent state to something resembling dough."
"However, Ning Beichen couldn't let it recover completely. Seeing that it was almost there, he stopped it."
"'Alright, now you can tell us how you're going to help us cultivate our souls?'"
"Ning Beichen said to it."
"The giant soul nodded at Ning Beichen, showing none of its previous ferocity. Instead, it looked somewhat simple and cute."
"'Follow me. I'll take you to a place, and you'll know.'"
"The soul said to Ning Beichen."
"'Alright, wait a moment. I'll call master.'"
"Ning Beichen hurried to stop Chen Xingyun's cultivation."
"After hearing Ning Beichen's explanation, he finally understood what had happened. Because his soul was cultivating, he couldn't perceive external events."
"Even if someone fought beside him, as long as they didn't touch him, Chen Xingyun wouldn't know."
"Soon, Chen Xingyun saw this giant soul. Only those who had cultivated souls would know how terrifying this soul was. If his disciple hadn't been capable, it would have been hard to say who would have won."
"However, Ning Beichen still harbored some doubts about the soul's words. But since Ning Beichen could control it, there was nothing to worry about."
"'Alright, you can lead us now.'"
"Ning Beichen said to the soul."
"The soul led Ning Beichen and Chen Xingyun through the well."
"At first, Ning Beichen was a little suspicious. He and his master had already inspected the interior of the well once and found nothing. He didn't know where this soul was taking them."
"In less than five minutes, Ning Beichen and Chen Xingyun simultaneously let out a curse."
"Who would have thought that there was a hidden mechanism within the well, a wall that could be opened?"
"The giant soul led them through the opened wall and along a narrow passage to another place. This place turned out to be a natural secret chamber, and inside the chamber was a pool of water. DAFENG NOVEL NETWORK."
"Then, the soul asked Ning Beichen and Chen Xingyun to enter the pool in their soul state to cultivate."
"Ning Beichen and Chen Xingyun exchanged glances. The main issue was whether to trust this soul."
"'Master, you try it first.'"
"Ning Beichen said to his master."
"It wasn't that they didn't trust the soul. It was mainly a precautionary measure. After all, caution is the parent of safety, and being steady is like an old dog."
"'Alright, I'll try it first to see if it works.'"
"Chen Xingyun was direct. His soul left his body and entered the pool."
"'And then?'"
"Seeing his master enter, Ning Beichen looked at the giant soul and asked."
"The soul nodded at Ning Beichen. Then, it also floated towards the pool. But just as it was about to approach Chen Xingyun, Ning Beichen immediately drew his sword and shouted sternly,"
"'What are you doing?'"
"Chen Xingyun's soul also distanced itself from the soul, looking vigilant."
"'I need to be close to him to help you cultivate your souls.'"
"The giant soul said fearfully."
"Ning Beichen stared at it intently, seemingly judging the truthfulness of its words."
"However, Ning Beichen couldn't find any clues in the giant soul's eyes."
"'Are you telling the truth?'"
"Ning Beichen confirmed again."
"'It's true. Only then can I help you cultivate your souls.'"
"The giant soul explained."
"'Fine, I warn you not to play any tricks, or I'll turn you into ashes!'"
"Ning Beichen said menacingly."
"The giant soul repeatedly assured Ning Beichen that it wouldn't dare."
"However, Ning Beichen was still uneasy. He held the ancient bronze sword and stood beside it, watching. The scene was like a child threatening a giant with a sharp sword."
"But in the end, the master and disciple decided to try and trust the giant soul's words."
"Chen Xingyun's soul sat cross-legged in the pool, and the giant soul nestled close to him, like dough wrapping filling. It was incredibly bizarre."
"Seeing this scene, Ning Beichen couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't want to laugh, but he couldn't help himself."
"However, Chen Xingyun was extremely serious and immediately felt the effect. It was as if his soul was bathing in a hot spring, very comfortable. He could see his soul constantly solidifying, and the effect was hundreds of times better than cultivating alone."
"Ning Beichen didn't need to ask. Just looking at Chen Xingyun's expression, he knew that the old man was thoroughly enjoying himself."
"Not long after, Chen Xingyun let out a sound of extreme comfort."
"'Is it that comfortable?'"
"Ning Beichen muttered, looking disbelieving."
"However, Chen Xingyun was indeed extremely comfortable. His soul also solidified by more than half in a short period, and its clear outline was already vaguely visible. It was clear that the effect was remarkable."
