Upon receiving Jian Ruyan's affirmative response, Mu Jinyu finally felt completely at ease.
The Master is not the true mastermind behind the past tragedy of the Xiang Family. Even if Xiang Mantang returns later and learns all this, although it's regrettable he cannot personally avenge his enemies, after verifying the truth, it wouldn't lead to a scenario where the master and disciple clash to the end.
Thereafter, Mu Jinyu advised Jian Ruyan to relax and calm herself, setting a good mindset, to prepare for resolving the issue of mutual soul seizing between her and Wen Rou.
Jian Ruyan knew Mu Jinyu had already gathered the twelve kinds of spiritual medicine, feeling extremely excited.
Finally, she could return to her original body.
She wouldn't have to continually disrupt their cultivation because of swapping bodies with Wen Rou.
Her guilt towards Wen Rou slightly diminished as well.
Had it not been her unconscious soul seizing from Wen Rou, given Wen Rou's cultivation aptitude, how could she be stuck in the Fifth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm following Mu Jinyu to the Kunlun Ruins for the past year?
She would have reached the Fifth Layer of the Fanxu Realm!
So Jian Ruyan always felt quite sorry for Wen Rou in her heart.
Mu Jinyu left Jian Ruyan's room and then went to find Wen Rou.
"Little Mu, you're back, are things okay now?"
Wen Rou knew Mu Jinyu returned from the commotion in the courtyard, but she didn't mind him going to Jian Ruyan first. Seeing Mu Jinyu approach her, she immediately exclaimed joyfully.
"Yes," Mu Jinyu said with a smile and hugged Wen Rou, adding, "I've found the last three spiritual medicines, gathered all the secret formula materials, and we can make you and Little Yanzi swap back to your bodies shortly."
"Really? That's wonderful…" Wen Rou grinned happily upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words.
Mu Jinyu deliberately chose not to tell Wen Rou about Chen Shuyi's matters right now.
After all, speaking about that would ruin Wen Rou's mood, unsuitable for the impending body swap operation.
Had the truth about the Heavenly Palace's mastermind not been overly important, Mu Jinyu wouldn't have gone to confirm with Jian Ruyan first just now.
Meanwhile, Wen Rou's maiden family was evidently not that important and could wait for after they swapped back, then he would take Wen Rou to see Chen Shuyi at the Chen Family.
Having spent some time in gentle company with Wen Rou, Mu Jinyu pondered that Jian Ruyan's mood should be adjusted by now, thus said: "Let's go and find Little Yanzi."
"Yes," Wen Rou accompanied Mu Jinyu, feeling somewhat nervous yet excited, walking out of the room and into Jian Ruyan's room.
Jian Ruyan had already calmed her mood, and when Mu Jinyu and Wen Rou walked in, her expression was very calm, though somewhat pale, clearly better than the initial shock upon hearing about the Master of Heavenly Palace.
"Can we start?" Jian Ruyan asked, taking a deep breath, feeling a bit nervous.
"First, adjust your mood again, while I prepare the spiritual medicines."
Mu Jinyu smiled and said briefly, then waved his hand to summon a pile of spiritual medicines.
These included the Five Mace Spirit Medicine obtained from the Dragon Elephant Sect, Soul Shatter Grass from the Cursed Soul Forest, Cold Soul Six Spirit Ganoderma from the Extremely Cold Hell, Nether River Flower from the Kui Dragon Tribe, Soul-Hiding Flower from the Boundless Sect, a spiritual medicine from the Chen Family, and lastly two obtained from his Master.
A total of twelve spiritual medicines.
Among them, the five spiritual medicines obtained from the Dragon Elephant Sect, Mu Jinyu had already matured using Life Source Energy, making them regrow into two portions, and he also matured the Soul Shatter Grass from the Cursed Soul Forest into two portions.
As for the remaining six spiritual medicines, he hasn't activated them into two portions and currently holds only one portion of each.
Next, he would need to activate the remaining Cold Soul Six Spirit Ganoderma, Nether River Flower, Soul-Hiding Flower, and other spiritual medicines into two portions.
Only then can he allow Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan to simultaneously conduct another soul seizing.
"Unexpectedly, within just over a month, we gathered these twelve spiritual medicines. After we swap back, we can go home." Wen Rou knew what Mu Jinyu was doing and couldn't help but feel emotional.
In their initial thoughts, gathering these spiritual medicines, even if it didn't take ordinary cultivators a dozen years to find them, would at least take one or two years.
Who would have thought that in just over a month, Mu Jinyu managed to gather them through adventure, rummaging the treasure vaults of enemies.
If it were an ordinary cultivator, I reckon they wouldn't have found even one spiritual medicine by now.
And without Life Source Energy, Mu Jinyu would likely still have to continue searching.
After all, some of the spiritual medicines he obtained were not mature, some were singular; without Life Source Energy, they would still need to spend more time searching.
Under Mu Jinyu's activation, it didn't take long before these spiritual medicines split into two portions.
"Alright, finally it's done."
Mu Jinyu looked at the twenty-four spiritual medicines laid out on the ground, smiling in satisfaction.
Then he stood up, looking at the two excited girls, asking, "Are you ready?"
"Yes, already prepared," Wen Rou and Jian Ruyan both sat on the edge of the bed, nodding affirmatively.
Mu Jinyu said seriously, "This method of shaking the soul for a soul seizing carries certain risks, potentially leading to soul scatter, but I am prepared; even if this fails, you won't be harmed."
"Yes," the two girls attentively watched Mu Jinyu, without doubt nor fear.
Mu Jinyu smiled gently and said, "No need to be too tense, let's start."
Upon saying that, he took action by refining several spiritual medicines with Soul Shatter Grass, Cold Soul Six Spirit Ganoderma, and Nether River Flower together into medicinal liquid.
Then, under the eager yet somewhat tense gaze of the two girls, he deposited the medicinal liquid into their brows, penetrating into their Sea of Consciousness!
"Ah!!"
With the medicinal liquid penetrating the Sea of Consciousness, the two couldn't help but scream in agony and fainted.
Without other spiritual medicines to neutralize the potency, the Soul Shatter Grass's potency alone entering their Sea of Consciousness would immediately scatter their souls.
But since the potency was neutralized, this force would shake their souls and bodies' fusion, giving them another opportunity for soul egress and seizing.
If not for the potent analgesic effects of the Nether River Flower, dulling the soul-shaking and painful ordeal, the two might not withstand the near soul scattering torment, ultimately foiling the operation.
"Rise!!"
Mu Jinyu earnestly concentrated on refining the medicinal potency to shake their souls, ultimately shaking them loose.
"Buzz!!"
Two shimmering light groups emerged from the girls' brows.
'Excellent.' Mu Jinyu cheered inwardly, knowing the first step succeeded.
Then, he drew the girls' souls into his Sea of Consciousness.
This step was not part of the original solution.
But fearing accidents, Mu Jinyu decided to utilize the mystical little tree within his Sea of Consciousness to execute the next steps more perfectly.
With this, even if the soul seizing faced mishaps, they wouldn't lead to soul scatter.
