Chapter 465: Chapter 423: Diagnosis

Among the curious gazes of the female cultivators, the handsome Li Da blushed, standing straight in front of the counter, pointing at a bracelet on the shelf that shimmered with flowing light and intermittent brightness: "Waiter, let me see that bracelet."

The shopkeeper immediately noticed that this young man was wearing the Yunshan Sect uniform, with a Silver Feather on his left arm, and he knew well. In this Shuangye Square, the Yunshan disciples were absolutely of a higher status and should not be neglected. He immediately pushed the waiter aside and approached himself.

"This young hero has a keen eye. This bracelet is carved from a whole piece of Fire Marrow Spiritual Jade," the shopkeeper carefully presented the jade bracelet, "and it’s no ordinary Fire Marrow, it’s a rare treasure, the Dawnlight Marrow. Look at this color, this design..."

Li Da took the jade bracelet and examined it closely. The bracelet’s color was lustrous and transparent, with a fiery red glow, and faintly showed a prismatic dawnlight.

He stared at this ring of dawnlight in a daze, thinking how beautiful it would be on a wrist as fair as snow?

"Moreover, as a Defensive Spiritual Artifact, its performance is also quite good. As long as the Spiritual Power is activated, a light barrier will emerge..." the shopkeeper enthusiastically promoted, "Young hero, not to mention anything else, if you take this bracelet as a gift for your beloved, it would absolutely be the best present."

Li Da’s face felt hot, as he said something without any conviction: "What beloved, I’m buying it for myself."

The shopkeeper nodded with a smile: "I understand, I understand. I mean, hypothetically, if I were some Fairy, seeing this bracelet, I would be overjoyed."

Li Da tried hard to maintain calmness, pretended to look indifferent as he glanced again: "It’s alright, how many Spirit Stones?"

"I’ll give you a discount, make it a round number, just a thousand Spirit Stones."

The surrounding female cultivators exclaimed in surprise, and Li Da’s heart also skipped a beat. A thousand Spirit Stones were almost all his savings.

But...

"Wrap it up." Li Da gritted his teeth and took out his own Storage Pouch.

Storing the jade bracelet into his arms, Li Da breathed a sigh of relief. He walked quickly with his head down amidst the laughing and talking of the female cultivators. Just as he stepped out of the shop, he heard a familiar voice ring out.

"Li Zi, what are you doing here?"

Wang Shitou?

Li Da instinctively hugged the jade bracelet tightly in his arms and looked carefully, seeing Wang Ruoyu with thick brows and big eyes, holding a large bunch of sugar-coated haws of various colors, his head almost obscured by them.

Instinctively, a sense of crisis arose.

"You bought so many sugar-coated haws?" Li Da asked as if not caring.

As expected, Wang Ruoyu chuckled: "For Junior Martial Uncle."

"Why not put them in your Storage Pouch?"

Wang Ruoyu tilted his head: "No way, things in the Storage Pouch bump into each other chaotically, if the sugar-coated haws get damaged, how would Junior Martial Uncle eat them?"

Pei, this little Pug. Li Da thought angrily.

He said no more, turned his head, and hurried off. Wang Ruoyu looked at his retreating back in confusion, then turned his head to look at the shop he exited from.

He happened to see the shopkeeper retrieve a dazzling jade bracelet from the back and place it in the empty spot on the shelf.

Wang Ruoyu stared blankly at that jade bracelet, a thought suddenly arose in his mind.

If Junior Martial Uncle wore this bracelet, it would surely look great.

So he squeezed in with a bunch of sugar-coated haws amidst the exclamations of the female cultivators: "Shopkeeper, how much is this bracelet."

Oh, another Inner Sect disciple from Yunshan Sect?

The shopkeeper’s eyes narrowed in his smile: "At cost price, a thousand Spirit Stones."

Wang Ruoyu placed the sugar-coated haws on the counter, then dug out three Storage Pouches of various sizes from all over himself. With a clatter, all sorts of miscellaneous items poured out.

He carefully counted every Spirit Stone on him, then looked up, cautiously saying: "Shopkeeper, I don’t have enough Spirit Stones. Can I pay with Elixir Talismans instead?"

The Moon Palace hung high, the moonlight like water.

In the quiet room of the Yunshan Sect station in Lingsha City, Fang Hui, pale-faced and sweaty, took a long breath. His body swayed, almost collapsing to the ground.

But his expression was very excited: "Truly amazing, truly amazing! Sect Leader Lu, you’ve found the root of your Consciousness Collection anomaly!"

The somewhat exhausted Lu Qian also opened his eyes, eagerly asked: "What is the reason?"

"There’s an unusual injury on your Divine Soul. To call it an injury doesn’t seem right, it’s as if a small segment of your Divine Soul has fused together in an odd way."

Lu Qian’s eyes suddenly widened, a flash of five-colored light, the Five Elements Grand Array had entirely shrouded the quiet room.

At that moment, he even had a killing intent.

Lu Qian finally understood everything. This segment that fused together was a result of two souls merging!

He originally thought that the souls had perfectly merged, like two cups of clear water poured together, forming a unified entity without any distinction, creating his current self.

But now it seems, it hadn’t truly reached a perfect state, leaving a small segment unfused, tangled in this overlapping manner.

This state wasn’t something he had detected at all. It was Fang Hui, with his naturally extremely sharp Divine Sense, who discovered it.

This secret must not be known by anyone—

But Fang Hui only assumed his array formation actions were for safety, continuing to excitedly exclaim: "This overlapping fusion of your Divine Soul, forming a bloated blockage, is something I’ve never seen in my life. But according to my judgment, this is a result of your innate underdevelopment."

"Underdevelopment?" Lu Qian stared at him, slowly repeating.

"Exactly. A person not only needs physical development but also the development of the Divine Soul. Moreover, the development of the Divine Soul, relative to physical development, takes a shorter time. By the time a person is in the womb, the development of the Divine Soul is more than halfway through, and often by the age of ten, the Divine Soul is fully developed." ℯℯ𝑙.

"During this process, whether in the womb or during childhood, various reasons may affect the development of the Divine Soul."

"Sect Leader Lu, in your case, this is the result of underdevelopment. Originally, the Divine Soul should be a cohesive whole, but for some reason, a segment has appeared overlapping. Think back, have you experienced any major shocks or changes before the age of ten?"

Lu Qian pretended to consider for a long while: "It seems not."

Fang Hui wasn’t particularly concerned: "Then it might be a congenital issue from the womb. This reason isn’t of much importance. The point is, the root cause affecting your Consciousness Collection has finally been identified."

"It is precisely this overlapping segment that causes the bloated blockage in your Divine Soul, thereby affecting the full exertion of the Consciousness Collection. In other words, when Sect Leader Lu’s cultivation was still low, the Consciousness Collection could still amplify normally, but with the increase in cultivation, the pressure on the Consciousness Collection grows larger, and this blockage segment increasingly hinders its effectiveness."

Lu Qian gently let out a breath, the swirling Spiritual Power around him calmed down.

Let’s observe for a while longer.

Fang Hui, who was opposite and excited, had no idea he had just walked past the Ghost Gate.

"So, Honored Guest Fang. Is there a method to heal this condition of mine?"
