Chapter 233: The White Jade Hairpin

"This is for me?"

Originally, Bai He had still been feeling a little unhappy, but now that he saw the gift Ye Shiyuan had prepared for him, he was stunned.

His birthday...

It seemed there was still about a month left.

Ye Shiyuan could not leave the Spirit Pagoda.

The white jade hairpin in Ye Shiyuan’s hand was exquisitely carved, resembling a flower bud just about to bloom.

The entire hairpin was pure white, while the tip carried faint traces of green, making it exceptionally beautiful.

"Master, do you like it?"

Bai He examined it carefully.

"Mm, it’s barely acceptable."

"Then let me put it on for you."

"Alright."

After placing it on him, Ye Shiyuan carefully checked it.

"Mm, it’s done."

Bai He reached up and touched the spot where it had been placed.

The position seemed quite normal.

Bai He had been worried that Ye Shiyuan might stick it straight into the top of his head.

"Shiyuan, I can grant you one small request."

"What request?"

"You can make one. Ask for whatever you want, and I’ll see whether I can satisfy it."

Ye Shiyuan pressed his lips together.

In truth, he was already very satisfied.

If he had to make a request, he could not think of one for the moment.

So Bai He spoke on his behalf.

"I can come see you on my birthday."

Although it would use up another opportunity, Bai He thought about it and felt it was still worth it.

Ye Shiyuan had gone out of his way to prepare a gift for him.

He should at least respond in some way. "Master, will you really come?"

"Mm."

"Master, come closer for a moment."

Xu Feng was calling for him. After responding, Bai He said, "Shiyuan, I’ll go over and take a look. Do you want to come too? Or would you rather wait for me here?"

Ye Shiyuan pressed his lips together and was just about to say that he would wait here for Bai He.

But then Bai He suddenly felt that if things continued like this, Ye Shiyuan would probably become depressed.

He grabbed Ye Shiyuan’s hand and stood up.

"Come on. Xiao Feng is over there too."

Ye Shiyuan nodded and followed Bai He over.

A fire had been lit there.

The warmth it gave off was comforting and pleasant.

After spending so much time in the Spirit Pagoda, this was the first time they had sat together chatting with someone like Ye Shiyuan.

Although he did not talk much, his temper seemed very good, and he was also extremely polite.

He appeared surprisingly easygoing.

Xu Feng immediately threw an arm around Ye Shiyuan’s shoulders.

"Senior Brother, stop staying glued to Master all the time. We should also make a plan for how to capture that demon dragon. I’ve decided. We’ll use the Chaos Formation. We have exactly enough people."

Ye Shiyuan nodded.

His brows furrowed slightly, but he still began explaining the key methods and power of the Chaos Formation.

Xu Feng only needed to teach everyone how to use the formation.

Ye Shiyuan would serve as the head of the Chaos Formation, while Xu Feng would take the position at the tail.

As for the others, it did not matter if their strength was somewhat weaker.

The people present had probably never seen this side of Ye Shiyuan before.

While holding a tree branch, he sketched the rough structure of the formation on the ground.

His explanations were simple and easy to understand.

Even when someone did not understand and asked questions, he showed remarkable patience and answered each one carefully.

"The demon dragon is not the same as an ordinary dragon. It may possess unknown abilities. The first thing you must remember is to protect yourselves. Whether we can kill it or not is a matter to discuss later. Junior Brother, when you teach them the formation, remember to give each of them a Spirit Stabilizing Pill."

The Spirit Stabilizing Pill was a medicinal pill that could raise a cultivator’s spiritual power to its peak state within a short period of time, and could even push it fifty percent beyond their normal peak.

The effect would last for about half a day.

After half a day, the medicinal effect would wear off.

It did not have any major side effects on the body.

At most, one would need a few days of rest and recovery afterward.

"The Spirit Stabilizing Pill... Ah, right. Brother Ye, you’re from the Lingguang Sect. Look at us, how could we forget? Brother Ye is the first disciple of the Lingguang Sect’s Sect Master."

Zhang Ping had heard Ye Shiyuan’s name a long time ago.

Back then, Ye Shiyuan had still been the disciple of Sect Master Yao Xiangli.

"Senior Brother is no longer the Sect Master’s disciple now."

Xu Feng spoke openly without hesitation.

"Junior Brother, we can discuss this matter after this is over. Time is short."

"Understood, Senior Brother."

Time was indeed limited.

Although the Chaos Formation was simple, it still required a certain level of familiarity.

Otherwise, even though Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng possessed outstanding individual abilities that could compensate for some shortcomings, it would still be very difficult.

Ye Shiyuan actually had some concerns.

He did not want those people to learn Bai He’s identity.

It would inevitably lead to unnecessary trouble.

Xu Feng seemed to understand Ye Shiyuan’s intentions as well.

On this matter, he wisely kept his mouth shut.

...

"Young Master, you and Ye Shiyuan seem to have such a good relationship. You must also be a disciple of the Lingguang Sect, right?"

Bai He nodded somewhat awkwardly. "You could say that."

"I’m really envious of you."

"Envious of me?"

"At such a young age, you were able to enter the Lingguang Sect and become one of its disciples. Who wouldn’t be envious? I believe there isn’t a single cultivator who doesn’t want to join the Lingguang Sect. It’s just a pity that our talents are ordinary. We simply aren’t qualified to enter the Lingguang Sect."
