In the days that followed, Chen Yang continued his monotonous yet fulfilling practice cultivation.

With the help of the dozens of low-grade spirit stones gifted by Liu Yiyi, he replicated enough Yimu Essence Qi to steadily operate several cycles of the Yimu Longevity Technique each day.

Holding these spirit stones imbued with the warmth and intentions of a young girl, Chen Yang made a silent decision in his heart:

"These spirit stones are a loan from Yiyi and Little Chunhua. When the sect distributes the stipend next month, I must return them to her as soon as possible."
