Since obtaining the Cultivation Manual, Ye Xiu had been living a monotonous life. 0
 
His days consisted mainly of going to work and then attempting to sense his Spiritual Source. 0
 
For an entire month, Ye Xiu repeated this routine without any success in sensing his Spiritual Source. 0
 
The manual mentioned the need to sense the Spiritual Source, but it didn’t provide any specific instructions on how to do so. 0
 
Ye Xiu began to feel frustrated. 0
 
Suddenly, he thought of Jiang Baixuan; that guy must have a solution. 0
 
So, Ye Xiu called Jiang Baixuan's phone. 0
 
"Hey, Old Jiang, it's been a month and I still haven't sensed my Spiritual Source. The manual doesn’t say how to do it either." 0
 
"Well, at this point, you’ll need something called Spirit Awakening Fruit. If you take the Spirit Awakening Pill, you can immediately sense your own Spiritual Source. The ingredients for the Spirit Awakening Pill are quite simple: Morning Pearl, Ghost Leaf, and Buddha's Hand. It’ll take about a month to refine it." 0
 
"A whole month? Are you kidding me? I've wasted an entire month! Why didn’t you tell me sooner?" Ye Xiu said, slightly annoyed. 0
 
"Well, you didn’t ask me," Jiang Baixuan replied in a chilling tone. 0
 
Ye Xiu shivered; it felt cold all over. 0
 
"Alright, alright, then what are sinking pig, turtle liquid, and Buddha head? Does concocting the Awakening Pill really require so many animals?" 0
 
"..." 0
On the other end of the phone, there was an obvious silence. 0
 
"It's Morning Pearl, which is the morning dew; Ghost Leaf, that's the leaf of the Sophora Tree; Buddha's Hand is a type of medicinal herb, only available at large pharmacies." 0
 
"Okay, I'll go prepare it now. I'll hang up~" 0
 
Before Ye Xiu could say goodbye, the other party had already hung up, leaving him with a dazed expression as he held the phone, feeling utterly frustrated. 0
 
... 0
 
Ye Xiu put down his phone and headed to the pharmacy to buy Buddha's Hand. 0
 
On the way, he pondered over the contents of the Cultivation Manual. 0
 
When Ye Xiu arrived at the large company where he had applied for a job, he didn't go to the pharmacy in front but headed straight to the manufacturer. This was quite bold of him. 0
 
As Ye Xiu walked, he suddenly noticed a girl ahead who looked familiar. 0
 
Getting closer, he confirmed it! 0
 
"Hey, big sister. What a coincidence," Ye Xiu greeted her without holding any grudges. 0
 
"Wait, don’t talk. Help me," Tang Luor said as she suddenly grabbed Ye Xiu's arm, her eyes lighting up as she hugged his arm tightly. 0
 
Ye Xiu was taken aback by this unexpected turn of events. He wanted to pull away, but surprisingly, he found that he couldn't overpower this girl! He recalled how her bodyguard had beaten him up before. 0
 
"Wow, Eldest Sister Tang, are you having an affair out in broad daylight?" A voice that sounded quite annoying came from nearby. 0
 
 
"Big Brother, look! Tang Luor is hugging another guy!" 0
 
Ye Xiu saw three men approaching, the leader exuding an air of a wealthy young master. He had well-defined features and, upon closer inspection, was quite handsome. The other two were just sycophantic lackeys. 0
 
"Zhang Ran, look! This is my beloved; my heart already belongs to someone!" Tang Luor's delicate face flushed pink. 0
 
It was the first time she had spoken such words, and in that moment, Tang Luor herself didn't know if she was being truthful. 0
 
"Hahaha..." Zhang Ran's handsome features twisted into a sneer. 0
 
Ye Xiu stared blankly at Tang Luor. 0
 
"My heart is with him; you can't have it," Tang Luor declared firmly. 0
 
Zhang Ran's face contorted with rage. "I heard the Revival Pill has already been used by you, wasted on a useless person. Could it be him? Well, I never expected my Revival Pill to be squandered by you. My father has dealt with me, and you can't escape this. What use do I have for your heart? Your body is mine now. I will reclaim my losses from you! Serve me well, or else when I'm done playing with you, I'll hand you over to my subordinates. Just think about how you'll kneel and beg for mercy in the future!" 0
 
Although Ye Xiu didn't fully understand what Zhang Ran was talking about, he gathered some information from it. 0
 
The Revival Pill was used on me? 0
 
Without the Revival Pill, this girl seemed to have lost her leverage against him! 0
 
It appeared that the Revival Pill was extremely important! 0
 
Even a powerful force like the Tang family had to tread carefully around it! 0
 
In such a simple manner, he had put this unknown girl in jeopardy! 0
 
 
Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Ye Xiu was furious. 0
 
It wasn't just the fact that he had harmed this girl; simply because of Zhang Ran's blasphemous attitude towards such a pure and innocent girl, Ye Xiu couldn't tolerate it! 0
 
Even if Ye Xiu was weak, at this moment, as a man, he knew what he had to do. 0
 
Ye Xiu exerted all his strength to break free from Tang Luor's grip. A golden light flashed! 0
 
Tang Luor looked at Ye Xiu in surprise. He had only just opened his Spiritual Source, yet he was able to break free from her hold! 0
 
After breaking free, Ye Xiu swung a powerful punch toward Zhang Ran's nose. 0
 
However, before he could land the blow, it was blocked by Zhang Ran. 0
 
Zhang Ran, who had blocked Ye Xiu's punch, was also taken aback. 0
 
What should have been an easy block against such a weakling turned out to be a struggle; she had to brace herself with both hands and exert all her strength just to stop that punch after witnessing the sudden speed of his attack. 0
 
Ye Xiu realized that his punch had been blocked and had anticipated it. He understood his own strength, especially considering that the opponent might be a cultivator. 0
 
This punch was merely meant to express his stance. 0
 
Seeing the fierce scene unfold before her, Zhang Ran felt that something was off. 0
 
"Just wait! As the eldest son of Maple Pavilion's leader, I will come for you again!" Zhang Ran declared angrily. 0
 
"Hmph! Let's go." Zhang Ran waved her hand and left with her two companions. 0
 
 
Ye Xiu thought his imposing presence had worked, successfully scaring off Zhang Ran and the other two. 0
 
... 0
 
He turned to look at Tang Luor. 0
 
"By the way, it's been a while, and I still don't know your name. I'm Ye Xiu—Ye as in leaf, and Xiu as in cultivating the heart. Nice to meet you," Ye Xiu said with a squinting smile. 0
 
Finally, Ye Xiu introduced himself all in one breath. 0
 
Tang Luor couldn't help but giggle at Ye Xiu's amusing tone and words. 0
 
Then Ye Xiu looked at Tang Luor. 0
 
Her unkempt long hair fell freely behind her, swaying gently in the breeze. Strands of hair danced lightly as her head swayed unconsciously, revealing a pair of clear, beautiful eyes that sparkled like gems. Her lips were slightly pursed, and her delicate oval face was framed by long eyelashes that curled up like the leaves of a sensitive plant. 0
 
The sudden close-up left Ye Xiu mesmerized. 0
 
So beautiful! So cute! It felt like he could just keep looking! As if he wanted to protect this stunning scene forever! 0
 
He wished he could be with her just like this! 0
 
At that moment, Ye Xiu's heart surged like the mighty rivers of the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, flowing endlessly. 0
 
"My name is Tang Luor. From now on, just call me Tang Luor!" 0
 
"..." 0
 
 
"Hey, why aren't you talking?" Tang Luor waved her hand in front of Ye Xiu. 0
 
"Um..." Ye Xiu finally snapped back to reality. "Tang Luor, Tang Luor, what a lovely name!" 0
 
The two exchanged smiles. 0
 
"By the way, I have a Spirit Pill here. Since you still can't look into your Spiritual Source, this will not only allow you to do that but also increase your spiritual power, enabling you to directly enter the Spirit Heart Realm." Tang Luor took out a red pill. 0
 
"Then I won't be polite," Ye Xiu said as he took the pill and swallowed it whole. 0
 
"You're so eager; aren't you afraid it might be poison?" 0
 
"I'm not afraid; I trust you! Even if you wanted to poison me right now, I'd willingly accept it!" 0
 
The two seemed to be caught up in their roles, exchanging sweet words as if they were truly a couple. 0
