Chapter 2628

It was indeed so. Zhu Yanyi glanced around and saw that the items here were mostly small magical tools. Of course, these small tools were useless to them, but for ordinary people in the cultivation world, they could serve as self-defense weapons.

"I see you’ve found something you like. I’ll pay today," the Immortal Emperor said, seeming in a good mood.

Zhu Yanyi looked at her and complained, "Can you be sincere? You know I don’t need these things, yet you ask what I like. Are you doing this on purpose?"

"I said it precisely because I know you don’t need them. If you actually needed something, wouldn’t I have to pay?" The Immortal Emperor grinned. She was happy to finally tease Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi chuckled. "If you put it that way, I really should find something. No, several things. Even if they’re useless, I’ll make you spend money."

This was the consequence of having a sharp tongue. The Immortal Emperor was momentarily stunned. "You’re buying things you don’t need?"

"Can’t I keep them as souvenirs? Besides, the money isn’t mine. Spending other people’s money doesn’t hurt." Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows proudly and went off to pick things out.

Actually, Zhu Yanyi’s claim that she didn’t need them was just polite talk. As the Medical Buddha Maiden, some items were indeed useful to her, but she wouldn’t tell anyone.

Of course, with a sucker willing to pay, she might as well take a small advantage.

So, with a sucker present, Zhu Yanyi began to browse slowly. Since someone was paying, she naturally bought more.

Yan Aohan looked at his wife with doting affection. Whatever his wife said was right. "Yes, wife, just buy whatever you want. He has plenty of money, so let him be a fool occasionally."

"You’re the fool. Your whole family is full of fools. Am I the sucker?" The Immortal Emperor laughed and scolded.

Ding Chengpei said slowly from the side, "Why do I feel that Senior Uncle is being tricked but is still happy?"

"That’s why she’s a fool," Zhu Yanyi said. "Disciple, remember this: not everyone is as generous as your Senior Uncle. We spend her money, and she’s happy."

The Immortal Emperor was speechless. More importantly, he had noticed something.

A person was approaching from a distance. There was nothing strange about people coming and going here, but what puzzled the Immortal Emperor was that this person had two souls in one body—a single body with dual souls.

"Yan Aohan, look at that person," the Immortal Emperor transmitted a message quietly.

Yan Aohan glanced at the person and raised his eyebrows slightly. "One body, two souls. Interesting."

The person had already walked away. Yan Aohan did not follow, but instead said to Zhu Yanyi, "Wife, buy whatever you want. Buy more."

"Okay." At the level of Yan Aohan and the Immortal Emperor, tracking someone didn’t require staring intently; leaving a wisp of divine sense was enough.

The fact that the person had two souls was something Yan Aohan naturally wanted to investigate, but there was no rush.

Zhu Yanyi didn’t notice the person and focused only on the items on the surrounding stalls.

Zhu Yanyi saw a wooden carved lotus. It looked like a small magical tool, and generally, no one would pay attention to it. However, Zhu Yanyi sensed that there was something inside the lotus. She pointed at the wooden lotus. "Let’s buy this wooden lotus first."

The Immortal Emperor had no choice but to go pay.

With someone paying, Zhu Yanyi didn’t bargain. She basically bought anything that caught her eye. During this process, she actually bought quite a few good items, though no one knew this yet.

Even Yan Aohan didn’t know. She only thought Zhu Yanyi was deliberately teasing the Immortal Emperor.

Although she bought many things, the cost wasn’t high. The Immortal Emperor had nothing else but money. For her, buying these items gave her little sense of achievement because the amount was too small.

Zhu Yanyi bought a large pile of things and, of course, put them directly into her space.

Zhu Yanyi then said to Ding Chengpei, "Chengpei, what do you like? Your Senior Uncle will pay. Hurry up and buy."

Ding Chengpei looked around and pointed to a konghou-shaped object about the size of a palm. "Mother-in-law, can I buy that?"

"Of course," Zhu Yanyi nodded and then said to the Immortal Emperor, "Hurry up and pay."

The Immortal Emperor wasn’t angry. After paying, he said, "Your whole family just thinks about swindling me. I realized that after buying for so long, it’s not even worth ten pieces of top-grade spirit stones."

"Showing off wealth isn’t good," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Be careful, or someone might rob you."

"As long as you, my ancestor, don’t rob me, I don’t think anyone else can," the Immortal Emperor laughed.

Having finished browsing here, the group left and walked outward.

"Where are we going now?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously, seeing that Yan Aohan and the Immortal Emperor seemed to have a destination.

"We found something interesting, so we’re going to check it out." Yan Aohan held Ding Chengpei’s hand to prevent him from falling behind.

The four of them flew away. Although Zhu Yanyi didn’t know where Yan Aohan and the Immortal Emperor were going, she could see they had a purpose, so she wasn’t in a hurry.

After walking leisurely for a while, they saw a person. Yan Aohan said to Zhu Yanyi, "There, that’s the person. Look at what’s different about her."

Zhu Yanyi examined the person and was startled. Inside the person’s body, she saw two shadows. "Two shadows?"

"Yes, one body, two souls," Yan Aohan said.

"Actually, one body with two souls isn’t rare. For example, if one of a pair of twins dies, their soul might enter the other’s body, forming one body with two souls. That’s relatively normal. But look at that person. The two souls look completely different. This isn’t a simple case of one body with two souls."

"What situation caused this?" Zhu Yanyi didn’t understand.

"Body snatching," Yan Aohan said.

The Immortal Emperor added, "But I admire the original owner of this body. He actually resisted the soul trying to take over. You know, those who dare to snatch bodies usually have stronger spiritual power and soul strength than the original owner. But look now. Although the original owner’s soul seems a bit weak, it’s still holding on."

"She’s taking pills," Zhu Yanyi observed the person’s movements.

"If I’m not mistaken, that person is likely an alchemist himself. So he probably has a pill he made to strengthen his soul power. He keeps taking it to boost his soul strength. However, his pills have side effects. Look, he already has pill spots on his face. That’s the result of taking too many pills."

Yan Aohan said, "If that’s the case, this person’s alchemy skills are not bad. Even though his pills have side effects, he still managed to hold on."
