Chapter 1624
Zhu Yanyi did not ask where Yan Aohan had gone, and Yan Aohan did not tell her his destination.
No one knew that Yan Aohan had gone directly to the same place where he had taken Zhu Yanyi to tattoo the Yan character.
As soon as Yan Aohan entered that place, Old Pan, Old Hei, Old Bai, and Zhan Diting emerged.
"You are all here," Yan Aohan said calmly, looking at the four of them.
"We just came to hear the news. The first evil soul appeared last night. How did it go?" Zhan Diting asked with a grin, still acting casual and carefree.
Yan Aohan glanced at the four men. "Did you know that the soul that came yesterday was a Dream Soul?"
The four looked at each other. Old Pan said, "Didn't we agree to use a Hanging Soul on the first night? How did it become a Dream Soul?" When did souls start making mistakes?
"I remember I arranged for a Hanging Soul," Old Hei confirmed from the side, then looked at Old Bai. "Old Bai, did you make a mistake?"
Old Bai shook his head in denial. "Impossible. I knew it was a Hanging Soul." He then looked at Zhan Diting. "I say, Brother Zhan, Great Immortal Zhan, did you pull a prank?"
Zhan Diting chuckled. "I just accidentally released the wrong one when I was sending them off, so it became a Dream Soul."
Yan Aohan looked at Zhan Diting and took a deep breath. "Diting, you are not young anymore. You are an old spirit, yet you still act like a child. These evil souls can be deadly if mishandled, especially Dream Souls. I didn't even tell my wife about them. Dream Souls are best at causing accidents in dreams."
"Is Little Sister-in-law okay?" Zhan Diting asked, looking a bit embarrassed.
Yan Aohan glanced at Zhan Diting. "She is mostly fine. Your Little Sister-in-law has the Book of Life and Death on her, so the Dream Soul could not harm her. Instead, she judged it, which activated the function of the red spider lily. However, the seed of the red spider lily has not been planted yet. Once it is planted, this judgment process will be complete."
"Should we still release the second red spider lily?" Old Pan asked upon hearing this.
Yan Aohan nodded. "Yes, we must. Although it succeeded, it only means this plane now has the ability to judge. You must know that my wife will go to the Sage Academy by the end of next year. Once she enters the Sage Academy, the planes she visits will be different. It is good to have a red spider lily for self-defense."
Old Pan made an "oh" sound, indicating he understood, and then said, "Since that is the case, I will continue the arrangements." Old Pan naturally agreed with Yan Aohan's decision.
Yan Aohan nodded again and said, "What evil soul are you releasing today?"
"Since the Hanging Soul did not appear yesterday, today will be the Hanging Soul," Old Pan stated directly.
Yan Aohan had no objection to this. Although Hanging Souls were terrifying, their power was not great, so it would not be difficult for Zhu Yanyi to resolve them.
Yan Aohan nodded again. "Alright, let that kind of situation not happen again. Be careful these next few days. There are only six nights left. Do not cause any accidents for me."
Yan Aohan truly did not want to encounter any accidents.
Old Pan and the others looked at each other, then seriously promised that no more mistakes would be made starting tonight.
Yan Aohan sighed. "My wife is still a mortal. Do not make the evil souls too loud or dramatic, or it will be bad."
"I say, Lord Yan, you cannot say that. Although Little Sister-in-law is currently mortal, she seems to have changed quite a bit," Zhan Diting answered seriously.
Yan Aohan looked at Zhan Diting and then said, "You are right, but there is one thing you do not know. Your Little Sister-in-law’s cultivation improvement is based on breakthroughs in her state of mind."
"Breakthroughs in state of mind? Do you mean Little Sister-in-law is likely practicing mental cultivation?" Zhan Diting looked stunned.
Mental cultivation did not depend on external training. Every breakthrough occurred in the state of mind. If the state of mind broke through, external cultivation also improved. If the state of mind did not break through, no matter how powerful the external training was, it would only transform into ordinary physical tempering. However, mental cultivation became harder the further one progressed, because no one knew when or where the next breakthrough in state of mind would occur. Therefore, currently, in the heavens and the human realm, Zhu Yanyi was the only one who primarily practiced mental cultivation.
Yan Aohan nodded, his face full of pride. "Correct, it is mental cultivation. Your Little Sister-in-law uses internal energy to enhance her cultivation. Her internal energy cultivation is at the late stage of Gangjin, but she primarily focuses on mental cultivation."
Zhan Diting’s expression became serious. "Normally, mental cultivation is the least likely to produce heart demons. Once successful, the divine power obtained is very pure. However, Boss, mental cultivation becomes increasingly difficult later on. Especially after Little Sister-in-law breaks through to the Void Transformation stage, the subsequent cultivation will be even harder. Mental cultivation requires constantly experiencing events to increase one’s resume and improve the state of mind. One cannot cultivate peacefully in one place, as there will be no progress."
"Yes, exactly. So I strongly support her practicing medicine. I can accompany her to treat people everywhere, experience events, and gather some experience," Yan Aohan said proudly.
"Boss, don't tell me you are ignoring all your duties to elope with Little Sister-in-law," Zhan Diting said directly.
"What nonsense are you talking?" Yan Aohan looked at Zhan Diting with dissatisfaction. "My Little Sister-in-law and I are together legitimately. What do you mean elope? We are a destined marriage recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Do not talk nonsense. Besides, I never worry about those things. Do you know the idiom 'each performs their own duties'? There are not many matters that require my personal intervention now. If I were not in the human realm, I would not have intervened in the matters of the Blue Water Plane."
Zhan Diting thought about it and realized it was true. His boss now possessed the Book of Earth. What could be hidden from him? He only needed to control the overall situation. Matters that truly required his personal intervention were indeed few at present.
"But if you stay by Little Sister-in-law’s side all the time, her growth will not be too fast," Old Pan said from the side.
Yan Aohan glanced at Old Pan. "Rest assured, I also value my wife’s growth very much. I do not want to lose my wife again." The pain of loss had already been fully tasted. He would never taste the pain of loss again, especially after having possessed her.
"Actually, it cannot be called losing her. You owed Little Sister-in-law back then. Now you are just repaying her," Old Hei said with a grin.
