Back in the fishing village, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu's lives returned to normal.
In the morning, they went to the mountaintop. Yu Yan absorbed the purple energy to cultivate, while Xiao Wu absorbed the high-quality soul power emanating from Yu Yan's body to cultivate and transform it into her own soul power.
In the morning, they would practice as usual. Yu Yan would also look at the books he had bought in Barak City, while Xiao Wu would run around the village, acting as the big sister to the children of her age in the village.
In the afternoon, they conducted practical training. After the initial adaptation period, Yu Yan was able to fight back and forth with Xiao Wu without using soft techniques. When Xiao Wu used soft techniques, he improved from five seconds to three minutes, which is quite an achievement.
Under these circumstances, Yu Yan's cultivation and strength were rapidly improving, and Xiao Wu was also improving, but not as significantly as Yu Yan.
One and a half months later, at dawn, Yu Yan sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, surrounded by the Ice and Fire Pisces, the chilling aura emanating from the Ice Pisces enveloping him.
With eyes closed, he sensed his surroundings, and a wisp of purple energy was drawn into his body.
As his proficiency increased and his cultivation improved, the purple aura that Yu Yan had refined transformed from a purple aura that was about to dissipate into a purple aura that was in the process of dissipating.
Well, that might not be very intuitive.
To put it more directly, previously he absorbed one-tenth of the purple energy, but now he is absorbing three-tenths.
The most direct impact of absorbing higher quality purple energy is the rapid progress in cultivation. Secondly, Yu Yan's soul power has an added touch of light purple, increasing its quality.
The purple energy entered the body and was transformed into soul power through meditation.
As expected, Yu Yan successfully broke through to level 9 two months after awakening his martial soul, a speed that was slightly slower than anticipated.
If outsiders knew that someone was still not satisfied with increasing their soul power by one and a half levels in two months, they would say some very 'civilized' things to that person.
"Yu Yan, your soul power has broken through?"
Xiao Wu, who could sense that Yu Yan's aura was growing stronger, asked him if he had broken through when he opened his eyes.
"Well, Xiao Wu, I'm already level 9. You'd better speed things up so you don't fall too far behind me."
Knowing that Xiao Wu possessed innate full soul power, but unable to reveal that she herself was Yu Yan, who possessed innate full soul power, she teased Xiao Wu with a very wicked sense of humor.
"Yes, I will try my best, and I will catch up with you."
Xiao Wu, who couldn't openly admit that she had innate full soul power, suddenly felt a bit like sparring and training with Yu Yan when she saw the smile on his face.
Seeing the malicious expression on Xiao Wu's face, Yu Yan coughed lightly and immediately changed the subject: "Xiao Wu, let's hurry down the mountain and go back to cook and eat."
When the topic of food came up, Xiao Wu immediately dropped her threatening grin and skipped down the mountain with Yu Yan to go home for dinner.
...
Another morning arrived, and Xiao Wu, still unable to sense the purple aura, asked Yu Yan with some disappointment, "Yu Yan, it's been so many days, why can't I sense the presence of the purple aura?"
Xiao Wu raised this question because Yu Yan had told her some tips on sensing purple energy, but she was unable to detect any trace of it, which frustrated her.
When Xiao Wu asked this question, several answers flashed through Yu Yan's mind.
Time traveler.
The powerful soul force resulting from the superposition of two lifetimes.
The unique companion martial soul of the Ice and Fire Pisces.
This is Yu Yan's guess about why he can sense the purple aura. It could be due to one of the reasons, or it could be the result of several reasons combined.
"I don't know either. Maybe it's because I'm a little special?"
Unable to give a precise answer, Yu Yan gave Xiao Wu an ambiguous response.
Upon hearing this answer, Xiao Wu went to Yu Yan's side and looked him up and down, but couldn't see anything special about him.
Unable to see anything special about Yu Yan, Xiao Wu asked directly, "Special? What's special about you? I can't see anything special about you."
"I already said it's possible. If I knew why, I would have just told you." Yu Yan reached out and pulled Xiao Wu, who was still thinking, "Don't worry about these questions. I'll cook you something delicious when we get back."
"Alright."
Xiao Wu was in a low mood; she was still thinking, trying to figure out why this was happening.
"Yu Yan, do you think it's because of your Ice and Fire Pisces Martial Soul that you can sense the purple aura? After all, I've never seen a Martial Soul as strange as yours before."
After racking her brains, Xiao Wu thought of Yu Yan's Ice and Fire Pisces Martial Soul, which was the most likely reason she could think of.
"I think it's possible. I actually had this suspicion, but I wasn't sure if that was the reason, so I didn't tell you."
After Xiao Wu thought of this, Yu Yan simply admitted it directly.
Seeing Yu Yan admit it, Xiao Wu became even more frustrated: "If it's really because of the special nature of my martial soul, then does that mean I'll never be able to absorb purple energy?"
"No, the purple aura didn't appear because of my martial soul. It's always been there. The reason I can't absorb it is simply because I haven't found the right way."
Yu Yan is certain of this; Tang San's ability to cultivate the Purple Demon Eye using Purple Qi is the greatest proof of this.
"I hope so."
Xiao Wu looked up at the sky with a melancholy expression. She saw a crescent moon that had not yet disappeared, and a whimsical idea suddenly popped into her mind.
"Fish Flame, Fish Flame, there's purple energy in the rising sun, what do you think is inside the moon? Could it also have similar special energy?"
Xiao Wu's words exploded in Yu Yan's mind.
Yu Yan was constantly thinking about how to make more efficient use of the purple aura, subconsciously ignoring the moon, which is opposite to the sun.
Focusing too much on one thing will cause you to overlook the most easily noticeable little things, just like many people will look for their phone while holding it.
Even though he lay in the courtyard with Xiao Wu, looking at the starry sky and chatting for a long time, Yu Yan didn't think in that direction.
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Xiao Wu's casual remark prompted Yu Yan to continue thinking along this line of thought.
Since the sun contains the purple aura found only in myths and legends, the energy in the moon, in contrast, should be lunar radiance.
The essence of the sun and moon!
The essence of the sun and moon!!
How could I not have thought of something so simple?
"Xiao Wu, you're a genius!!!"
Overwhelmed with emotion, Yu Yan loudly praised Xiao Wu.
If Yu Yan could use the moonlight for cultivation, his cultivation speed would definitely double.
"Huh?" Yu Yan's ecstasy confused Xiao Wu, but she quickly realized why Yu Yan was so overjoyed: "Could it be that there really is a special energy in the moon?"
"There is a high probability, after all, the sun and the moon correspond to each other."
Before the results are available, Yu Yan will not give a definitive judgment, so he only states his deductions to leave himself an out.
