With Sang Yuan healing the mysterious woman, her recovery was swift.
The mysterious woman is now just a mortal woman, devoid of Spiritual Energy. Earlier, Wu Yingzi tested her with the pressure of Spiritual Energy and determined she posed no threat, yet the pressure still injured her body’s channels.
As Ye Fan entered the room, Sang Yuan completed the healing process and stood up, while Lan Jing watched over the mysterious woman with concern.
Though Lan Jing didn’t know the mysterious woman was her mother, over the past two days, the mysterious woman had treated her well, showing warm concern, making Lan Jing feel cozy.
But Lan Jing only saw the mysterious woman as an older sister.
"Sang Yuan, Lan Jing, please step out for a mont, I have matters to discuss with Xiao Xuan," Ye Fan said.
"Yes, my lord." Sang Yuan respectfully bowed, following Lan Jing out of the room.
Sang Yuan was very courteous; Ye Fan was her master now, the mysterious woman was the deity she served, and Lan Jing was the deity’s daughter whom she served. She carried out all her duties with utmost priority.
Ye Fan asked, "How is the aunt doing?"
The mysterious woman sighed gently, "Years ago, I could have competed with her equally, but now... I am just a mortal and shall no longer have the privilege to contest with her."
"Will the aunt share with who exactly Wu Yingzi is? Could she also be an ancient powerhouse?" Ye Fan asked hurriedly.
The mysterious woman smiled and shook her head, "The so-called ancient powerhouses are rely mortals’ tales about the ten Cultivators who once created the secret realm of Pan Gu and life. I was lucky to be one of the ten. Many could rival the powerhouses in terms of cultivation, like the one you’ve encountered... She now goes by Wu Yingzi, right?"
"Yes," Ye Fan nodded, "Because of matters concerning the Lihuo Sect, I visited Wu Yingzi once. We’ve had many altercations; she crafted many illusions to entangle , serving as a form of training."
The mysterious woman shook her head, "She is not training you; she wishes to enlist you for her purposes. Her heart is twisted, disregarding the yin-yang principles, or..."
Or what, the mysterious woman left unsaid.
Ye Fan knew it was sufficient to know Wu Yingzi wasn’t an ancient powerhouse, for whatever sches she had, she couldn’t achieve alone; hence, she allied herself with Tianxuan Sect and Diyuan Sect.
"Aunt, shall we have Sang Yuan take you elsewhere to avoid Wu Yingzi?" Ye Fan asked.
"No need, I will stay here. Even if she kills my physical body, she cannot extinguish my soul," the mysterious woman laughed. "No matter how much she dislikes , she cannot destroy . Ye Fan, you must be careful, for your Spiritual Sense and body are inseparable, because you are mortal. Don’t let anything happen... that would make Jing’er sad."
Ye Fan took a mont to realize the "Jing’er" spoken of by the mysterious woman was Lan Jing.
Ye Fan smiled, "Didn’t the aunt say her daughter had a na?"
"Nas are inconsequential. Actually, I quite like her current na, Lan Jing..." The mysterious woman smiled, "Ye Fan, now that Red Crystal, Lan Jing, and Purple Crystal are with you, you must find a way to restore Lan Jing and Red Crystal just as you restored Purple Crystal. As for Black Crystal... you cannot wield it. Once all six crystals are found, I will share a secret that might make her... the one you call Wu Yingzi serve you."
Ye Fan asked, "Do you an Wu Yingzi is also searching for these six crystals?"
"She cannot find them, as these six crystals choose their masters; even obtaining them would be futile. Pursuing them will benefit your own cultivation." The mysterious woman seed weary, "Ye Fan, please leave now. I wish to rest alone. Above all, don’t let my daughter cry; it always pains deeply when she does."
Ye Fan nodded, left the room, and saw Lan Jing in the living room, happily playing with Little Red Crystal, Little Lan Jing, and Little Purple Crystal, which brought a sense of contentnt to his heart.
Ye Fan still couldn’t understand why Lan Jing cried Ice Crystals.
Now, tasked with finding the remaining two crystals, it seed an insurmountable challenge like finding a needle in a haystack.
Ye Fan approached, and the three crystals simultaneously rose from the table, slipping into Ye Fan’s clothing. Ye Fan said, "Lan Jing, I’ll return to my room to train, taking the three crystals inside."
"Okay." Lan Jing, a cheerful optimist, even dearly attached to the three crystals, had no thoughts of possession; she regarded the crystals as friends.
Ye Fan returned to his room and retrieved the three little crystals from his embrace.
Ye Fan said, "Purple Crystal, speak to in human form."
"Hehehehe..."
Under the watchful eyes of Little Lan Jing and Little Purple Crystal, Purple Crystal morphed from a small crystal into a nebulous swirl of purple mist, eventually taking human shape, transforming into a truly beautiful girl. Aside from her white skin, her hair, clothes, and eyes were all purple, and she danced joyfully upon becoming human.
"Chirping!" Little Lan Jing and Little Red Crystal were greatly upset; just a while ago their playmate had beco human, while they remained little crystals.
Little Purple Crystal boasted, "You’re furious, aren’t you? I have the aid of my master, hence beca human. Master, thank you."
The bond between master and spirit ran deep; Little Purple Crystal approached Ye Fan, holding his hand with a pure smile.
On hearing that Ye Fan helped Little Purple Crystal obtain human form, Little Lan Jing and Little Red Crystal imdiately jumped onto Ye Fan’s shoulders, slipping down into his embrace, chirping nonstop, seemingly begging Ye Fan to grant them human form too.
"Purple Crystal, can you tell how to enable Little Lan and Little Red to beco human?" Ye Fan asked.
Little Purple Crystal shook her head, "Master, it’s not that I don’t wish to help them; I simply don’t know. Perhaps, the master can use Spiritual Energy to awaken their dormant powers, allowing their Spiritual Sense to be ignited, and then you can ask them."
Only then did Ye Fan rember that Little Purple Crystal was able to beco a maiden after turning into a Soul Body capable of communication with him.
But Little Purple Crystal had been imprisoned by Jiuyou Su Girl in the ancient relic of the Arctic; tortured for tens of thousands of years, she gradually developed Spiritual Sense, while the Pure Yang Spiritual Energy Ye Fan used for healing only served as assistance.
"I lack the ability to awaken their innate Spiritual Sense." Ye Fan sighed lightly.
"Chirping!" Little Lan Jing and Little Red Crystal nestled in Ye Fan’s arms, seemingly pleading.
Ye Fan said, "I do have an idea, however: by forming a Spiritual Energy interchange bridge among the three crystals, I’ll inject Spiritual Energy into your body, and you transfer it to your fellow friends."
"Okay, Master," Little Purple Crystal said joyfully.
Straight to action, Ye Fan had Little Purple Crystal revert to crystal form, and the three crystals ford an equilateral triangle while he served as an energy source, injecting Spiritual Energy into Little Purple Crystal and continually supplying Little Lan Jing and Little Red Crystal through her.
All three crystals simultaneously emitted dazzling light.
