Yi Qing glanced at Shen Ying before opening the storage bag with some hesitance, after picking and choosing for a long while, he finally pulled a fish about half a kg heavy and handed it over. “Here!” This was the smallest one.

Lonemoon turned and threw it to the ferocious beast below.

Perhaps it was too scared, Weeping Beast did not even move, and remained as a stiff being on the ground, working hard to feign death.

“Chef, bring Shen Ying further away.” Lonemoon said.

Yi Qing then conjured another bubble and brought his Master slightly further away.

After sometime, Weeping Beast finally moved, its body that was made up of black Yin Qi suddenly had a tiny aura strand out and carefully moved towards the fish from the side. As if having confirmed that no one was stopping it, it then straightened up and swiftly pounced towards the fish. The black aura of its body separated then wrapped the fish into itself.

In less than a moment, an intact set of fish bones was spit out from its mouth.

Lonemoon was taken aback. “It doesn’t eat bones!”

According to fact, such ferocious beasts whose body is made of Yin Qi should be able to digest anything, besides, no matter demon beasts or human cultivators, the Spiritual Power in their bones is greater than that in the flesh and blood, but Weeping Beast doesn’t feed on bones, could it that Chan Ji’s motive is...

Weeping Beast interrupted his thoughts as it flipped around, its belly skin facing up and it began to conscientiously feign death once more.

“Huh? There seems to be something on its belly.” Fatty suddenly pointed below and said.

Lonemoon took a careful look, sure enough, there seemed to be something drawn on Weeping Beast’s belly skin. Earlier on, it’d been blocked by the thick Yin Qi and he hadn’t noticed, now, there seemed to be a white ray there.

He called Chef back and flew down for a closer look.

“This is... an array formation!” There was indeed an array formation amongst the clouds of black Qi, it was glowing with white light, as if it’d just been activated. The harder the Weeping Beast trembled, the brighter the array formation became.

“Seems to be a transportation array!” Yi Qing said.

His words had just fell when the white light flashed before their eyes, something flew directly into the array formation. Lonemoon turned back and noticed that the fish bone that was on the ground earlier had disappeared.

The motive of Chan Ji and the rest was as expected, the bones of Fatty!

Lonemoon’s heart sank as he looked up at everyone. “Let’s go, we’ll enter the array!”

He conjured a spell, directly activating the transportation array on Weeping Beast from where they were, at once, the white light beamed brightly and wrapped all four of them into it. In the next moment, they’d arrived in another body of water.

In contrary to the dimness on Weeping Beast’s side, gold light radiated from around here, it was even slightly blinding. Rays and rays of gold beams shone from the bottom, as if coloring the entire water body gold.

Looking down, they really saw something radiating gold light on the waterbed and this light was unique. It did not hold any bit of aggressiveness and instead, came with warmth, was this... the Light of Merit?!

Lonemoon was taken aback and instinctively dropped lower, the sight that came into their eyes was so shocking that everyone inhaled sharply.

Skeletons!

Skeletons everywhere, they covered the entire waterbed so compactly that there wasn’t a crevice. At first glance, there seemed to be a few hundred of them, some seemed so old that half of it was already buried in the mud. Some were completely exposed right in front of them, but weren’t very complete, there were even obvious signs of breakage on some of them. But without exception, all these skeletons radiate a faint gold light, the light in the water all came from them.

All at once, the few of them were stunned and did not make a sound for a long time.

Until Fatty murmured, “These are... golden bodies... golden bodies...” His face suddenly turned pale and he began to paint, as if he’d been shocked, the look in his eyes was unfocused.

“Fatty?” Lonemoon was startled for a moment before coming back to his senses. “What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly... hold on, why are you crying?”

“Crying?” Fatty faltered and swiped a hand across his face before he realized that his face had unsure when, been covered in tears, he became dazed while his face continued to pale. “Yeah, why am I crying? What’s with me... Master...”

“Hey hey hey, Fatty, what’s with you? Don’t scare us!” His behavior was really way too abnormal.

“I... I don’t know...” Fatty sobbed harder, his tears raining down his cheeks, he squatted down as if he could not bear the weight. “I don’t know... I just... Miss Shen, why am I...”

He subconsciously looked towards Shen Ying, feeling an odd emotion surge up in his heart, weighing him down that he almost could not breathe anymore. For some reason, he just wanted to cry out to Shen Ying. He did not know why he wanted her either, but he just couldn’t help it.

“Miss... Miss Shen, I... I...” He stuttered, seeming like he wanted to say something, but could not.

Shen Ying looked him in the eye, her eyes dimmed as she suddenly reached out and patted his head. “I got it.”

Fatty was puzzled, he felt a trace of warmth coming from the top of his head, his muddled emotions then stabilized, that odd feeling in his heart also dispersed. In the next second, he gradually closed his eyes and passed out.

“What’s going on?” Lonemoon instinctively held Fatty up. “What’s with Fatty?”

Shen Ying did not speak, even Yi Qing’s expression darkened as he stood beside her, vaguely coupled with some anger.

“Chef?” He could only turn towards Yi Qing.

Yi Qing tightened his fists by his side, before replying, “Father Niu, a few days ago, I found a lot of the same species of spirit herb on the island near Hao Ran Court.”

“What spirit herb?” Lonemoon hesitated, not understanding why he was suddenly bringing this up.

“Soul-Preserving Herb.”

“Soul-Preserving...” Lonemoon’s eyes widened abruptly. “You’re saying that those pills that had Soul Extracting Pills added in them had leaked from Hao Ran Court.”

“Mm.” Yi Qing nodded. “Yin Qi covers the entire Uncrooked Sea, making it most suitable for the growth of the Soul-Preserving Herb and the islands around here are filled with such spirit herbs.” That’s why only they would bear to add some Soul-Preserving Herb into ordinary elixir pills, because they were the only ones who had them.

“But has this got anything to do with Fatty?”

Yi Qing’s face darkened even more. “Father Niu, do you remember what happened subsequently to the cultivator that Master and I met back then?”

“Didn’t that cultivator reincarnate...” Lonemoon paused midway, suddenly recalling something, his face paled as he turned to look at Fatty in disbelief.

“The cultivator reincarnated immediately after swallowing that elixir pill.” Yi Qing continued, “The pill naturally does not have such a function, it will only leave a mark on his primordial spirit, someone found him following this mark and directly reincarnated him to this little world.”

“Cultivators of the Lower Realm naturally do not have this ability, but Hao Ran Court has an Earth Immortal.” Yi Qing lowered his gaze. “As a person from the Immortal Realm, he naturally has a way to intervene in Samsara. Add a Soul-Preserving Herb to that, it wouldn’t be difficult to guess who had reincarnated that cultivator to the same little world. That elixir pill with the Soul Extracting Pill mixed in it merely left behind a mark, making it easier for the people of Hao Ran Court to find his soul. Whereas Fatty...”
