"Hm? Where are Shenhe and Ganyu? This One thought you were here to visit family. Let me see... isn't this the child, Qiqi?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Su Han... you must be here to ask about Qiqi's condition, right?"
Before they could even speak, Cloud Retainer launched into a string of self-talk. Fortunately, everyone was used to her personality, so it wasn't awkward.
Su Han looked at Qiqi and nodded. "Yes. Baizhu came to work for me today, and Hu Tao felt pity for Qiqi. We wanted to ask how to restore her sanity."
"Sanity... sigh, that is a difficult matter. You must understand... there are things even adepti, or even the Lord Emperor, cannot accomplish."
"Qiqi, this child, was once resurrected... but she could not control the adeptal energy within her body, and lost control. In desperation, my old friend sealed her in amber. To restore her sanity now... is somewhat difficult."
Cloud Retainer couldn't help but sigh. There were many things they couldn't do. Otherwise, so many tragedies wouldn't have been born.
At this moment, Hu Tao stepped forward and said, "Adepti... I have a book here, obtained from another world. It contains many things about jiangshi. Please take a look... and see if it's useful for Qiqi."
"Hm? Is there such a thing?"
Cloud Retainer took the book of Maoshan Arts and began to study it seriously.
At first, she was a little dismissive, but slowly, she was attracted by the knowledge within.
"Hmm... Corpse Raising Art... and Corpse Control Art... Although they are mortal spells, they have their essence. Borrowing the power of the Great Yin (Moon) to restore the corpse's sanity. And the Corpse Suppression Talisman. Truly impressive."
Cloud Retainer exclaimed continuously. By the time she finished reading all the chapters, an hour had passed.
Su Han stepped forward and asked, "Master, what do you think... is there a way to restore Qiqi's sanity?"
"There is a way! After reading the things in the book, I understand the thoughts of the people in that world. The Great Dao of Yin and Yang... encompasses all techniques. Where there is Yin, there must be Yang."
"Back then, we only pitied this young girl and infused her with a lot of adeptal energy. Although she digested it, her soul remained muddled."
"If we can use the 'Nine-Revolution Great Yin Method,' we can allow her to regather her memories from when she was alive... but after this technique is cast, Qiqi might lose control. At that time, we will have to rely on you to suppress her ferocity."
Cloud Retainer was worthy of the name of an adeptus. After studying for a while, she gave an answer. At the same time, she also understood some of the mistakes they had made back then.
Su Han smiled. "Alright... that's simple!"
Just suppression? He was an expert at that.
Cloud Retainer nodded. "Alright then... wait for me a moment. I need to prepare some Spirit Stones, otherwise the formation cannot be activated. And the formation in the book is a bit incomplete. If used rashly, it might harm Qiqi instead... let me study how to improve it. You go and sit in the abode for a while. I'll go call those two old friends over."
With that, she transformed into a breeze and disappeared.
Hu Tao held her head and sighed. "This adeptus... she really talks a lot... I couldn't even get a word in."
"But thanks to her..." Su Han revealed a smile.
If not for Cloud Retainer, he wouldn't know where to find his two wives. Good heavens, she delivered them right to him.
Less than half an hour later, the other two adepti arrived nearby.
Mountain Shaper looked at him and nodded. "Thank you for saving the Yaksha Bosacius before. If you have any difficulties in the future, please come to us directly."
"If we hadn't met the Lord Emperor recently, we wouldn't have known that you, little friend, actually saved a Yaksha. Thank you so much."
Faced with the gratitude of the two adepti, Su Han laughed heartily. "We're all family. How can family not help family?"
"See? I told you this child looked pleasing to the eye... it's a pity This One only has two personal disciples, otherwise we could be even closer. Alright, regarding the formation, the three of us have discussed it. To set up that formation, we have to wait until tonight, when the moon is high in the sky. Only when the Yin energy between heaven and earth gathers can we cast it."
Cloud Retainer explained the matter of the formation one by one. In fact, setting up this formation was very simple, but they had to wait until night so that the Yin energy would be sufficient.
Su Han nodded. "Alright then... I'll tell Shenhe and the others. We won't go back today."
"Mm, we'll go prepare. You can wander around freely."
The three adepti went to research the formation. Su Han and the others wandered around Jueyun Karst.
Compared to Hu Tao's noisiness, Qiqi was actually a little shy and shrank directly to Su Han's side.
A few minutes later, with the cry of a crane, Klee appeared in front of the group.
When she saw Su Han, she immediately screamed.
"Big Brother! You're finally here! Did you come to play with me? And Sister Hu Tao... hehe, I missed you too!"
Faced with the little sun's excitement, Hu Tao and Su Han both laughed.
"Klee... we missed you too! Hehe... here, big sister treats you to a Slime... no... a Sea Bass flavored Zongzi!"
Originally, this girl wanted to trick Klee, but after being glared at by Su Han, she obediently changed the flavor.
"What is a Zongzi?" Klee asked, looking at Su Han with confusion. She had never eaten such a thing before. However, it smelled pretty good.
Su Han explained, "It's a snack wrapped in bamboo leaves. Try it... it's specially made by your Sister Xiangling."
"Wow... really? Klee is so touched!"
The little cutie gently peeled open the Zongzi. A rich meaty aroma wafted out from inside. Klee's eyes instantly sparkled.
It smells so delicious!
She took a small bite. The rich aroma of fish and meat, combined with the taste of sticky rice, attacked her taste buds all at once. This taste was simply too delicious.
"Mmh... yummy! So yummy! Big Brother Su Han, did you eat?"
Faced with Klee's invitation, Su Han nodded and smiled. "Big brother is already full. You eat it yourself."
"Mm!"
The little sun ate two in a row before she was completely satisfied. She rubbed her slightly bulging belly and laughed. "Klee really can't eat anymore, but this Zongzi is so delicious. When Mom comes back, Klee will make it for her to eat... Big Brother gave Klee so much delicious food, Klee wants to repay you too. Wait for me... Klee has a fun thing to give you!"
"What thing?" Su Han looked confused. Don't tell me she hasn't been cultivating during this time?
Faced with his curious gaze, Klee giggled, jumped on the white crane, and disappeared. No one knew what she went to get.
Hu Tao walked over and said, "I have a bad feeling about this..."
"Uh... actually, me too. But... this is the first time Klee has been so proactive. Let's not disturb her... let's affirm her, okay?"
"Mm."
While the two were talking, the sea of clouds churned. Klee had returned. Although there were some stains on her face, her expression was very excited.
"Big Brother... I brought the gift! Look!"
As she spoke, she opened a storage magical artifact.
A huge object fell from the air in front of the three of them.
It was a guy covered in rocks, but... now its body had been blown to pieces. Its eyes were completely white. Clearly, it had been killed.
"This... this is..."
"Oh, don't you know it? Sister Hu Tao... this is a big lizard with strange patterns! A while ago, when Klee went over there to cultivate, this guy dared to roar at Klee. So... so I wanted to catch it and give it to Big Brother as a gift! Hehe..."
Speaking of her proud achievement, Klee revealed a happy smile. It was great that the bombs she researched came in handy.
Su Han and Hu Tao exchanged a glance, thinking: This really is a big lizard with strange patterns.
It was a Geovishap!
"Thank you, Klee. Big Brother likes this gift very much. And I think your Sister Ningguang will also like it very much."
"Really? That's great!" Hearing that Big Sister Ningguang would also like it, Klee jumped for joy.
However, Su Han didn't lie to her. Because monsters like the Geovishap were very useful for making armor and weapons.
Subsequently, Su Han chatted with Klee for a long time. Don't be fooled by her love for mischief. In fact, Klee was very diligent here. Besides researching explosives every day, she also had to participate in various cultivations. In short, very tired... but also very fulfilling.
Time slowly arrived at night. Klee went directly to rest because she was too sleepy.
And the formation of the three adepti had also been set up.
"Come, Qiqi... and Su Han. The formation is ready. We can start at ten o'clock..."
Faced with the invitation of the three adepti, Su Han took Qiqi's hand and led her into the formation.
"Don't be afraid in a bit. I'll be here with you..."
"Mm, Qiqi won't be afraid..."
Faced with Su Han's words, Qiqi nodded obediently.
And at this time, the time also arrived at ten o'clock sharp.
The three adepti activated the Great Yin Formation. The patterns on the ground lit up quickly. And a beam of moonlight was cast down from the sky.
Cloud Retainer chanted, "Spirit Gathering Soul Formation... Open!"
BOOM!
Abundant Great Yin energy poured madly into Qiqi's body.
The talisman originally on her forehead was directly incinerated under the wash of Yin energy.
And Qiqi's eyes slowly turned red. A pair of cute fangs were exposed from between her lips.
The nature of the jiangshi erupted!
