Singular Sword to Multitude

Chapter 59 Journey to Taiyin Star

After Li Yi and the other two left Mount Wanshou, they traveled towards the Taiyin Star.

On the way to the Taiyin Star, Tongtian curiously asked, "Big Brother, where did you get that fruit from? It's actually comparable to your Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Third Brother, you think too highly of me. Although my Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, once consumed, could make me a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, I would forever remain at that level with no further progress!

Unless, like the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs I refined for Daoist Hongyun, it incorporates the Purple Qi of Chaos and Primordial Chaos, only then can one continue to cultivate.

This Yellow Middle Plum is extraordinary. After consuming it, one becomes like a normal Grand Unity Golden Immortal, only with an unstable foundation that requires time to stabilize!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi nodded and said, "The Yellow Middle Plum that Big Brother possesses is said to grant Grand Unity regardless of one's origins?"

"Indeed, I originally intended to let you two have a taste as well. However, we still need to go to the Taiyin Star to express our gratitude, so we can only enjoy them after the third Yuanhui!"

Tongtian chuckled, "Hearing Big Brother say that, I too want to try it. But they did help us brothers, so I'll wait a little longer!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "It's alright, we have plenty of time anyway, so this little delay doesn't matter!"

The three of them chatted and laughed as they traveled, and before they knew it, they arrived at the Taiyin Star.

Upon reaching the Taiyin Star, they broke through the Taiyin Star formation and headed deep into the star.

When Li Yi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian reached the depths of the Taiyin Star, they saw two women cultivating under a cassia tree. Upon seeing Li Yi and the other two arrive, Xihe and Changxi stood up and smiled, "Daoist Taishang, we meet again."

Li Yi smiled and said, "My three brothers have specifically come to thank you both for your previous kindness in gifting us medicine!"

After speaking, Li Yi introduced the four of them to each other.

Once the four were acquainted, Li Yi took out four Yellow Middle Plums and said to Xihe and Changxi, "This is our brothers' token of gratitude!"

After speaking, Li Yi re-introduced the Yellow Middle Plum.

Xihe and Changxi listened and felt it was too precious, resolutely refusing to accept it. Li Yi persuaded them for a long time before Xihe and Changxi reluctantly accepted.

Seeing that the two had accepted the Yellow Middle Plums, Li Yi spoke again, "The Taiyin Star is filled with countless refining materials. My second brother is skilled in the art of refining and wishes to collect some materials on the Taiyin Star. We hope you two will not find it bothersome!"

Xihe smiled, "Daoist, you jest. The Taiyin Star is part of the Primordial World, not our private property. Since you three have such an inclination, why not stay on the Taiyin Star for a while? My sister and I can then fulfill our duties as hosts!"

Yuanshi was pleased when Xihe and Changxi agreed and said, "Then we thank you both!"

Changxi happily said, "You're welcome! We were born and transformed on the Taiyin Star, so we are extremely familiar with it. Why don't we take you on a tour?"

Tongtian heard Changxi say this and replied, "That would be too much trouble for you two!"

Xihe smiled and said, "It's not troublesome at all. My sister gets bored staying with me all day and might want to go out and relax!"

Changxi, seeing her little thoughts exposed by Xihe, retorted, "It's not like that at all! I'm just worried that you three Daoist friends are unfamiliar with the Taiyin Star!"

Xihe smiled and said, "Alright, alright! My sister is right!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Since Daoist Changxi also wishes to go out and relax, and we brothers are in need of a guide, we will trouble Daoist Changxi to lead the way!"

Xihe, seeing Li Yi say this, said charmingly, "In that case, you three Daoist friends must protect my sister well!"

Changxi said unhappily, "Sister, my cultivation is not weak!"

Xihe ignored Changxi and looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi nodded and said, "Daoist Xihe, please rest assured!"

After receiving Li Yi's assurance, Xihe allowed Changxi to leave.

Li Yi and his two brothers, along with Changxi, wandered the Taiyin Star. Changxi had been on the Taiyin Star since her birth, so she was naturally very familiar with it.

When Yuanshi described the appearance of the materials he needed, Changxi could lead them to find them!

Along the way, Li Yi also collected quite a few unique spiritual herbs exclusive to the Taiyin Star.

Along the way, Tongtian and Yuanshi told Changxi a lot about the world outside the Taiyin Star, which made Changxi yearn for it greatly.

Since their birth, Changxi and Xihe had lived exclusively on the Taiyin Star. Xihe was worried about their insufficient cultivation, so the two of them had never ventured half a step out of the Taiyin Star.

The three of them lingered on the Taiyin Star for quite some time. During this period, Yuanshi and Tongtian often exchanged insights on the Dao with Xihe and Changxi, and all four gained considerably.

Just as Yuanshi, Tongtian, Changxi, and Xihe concluded their discussions on the Dao, Li Yi felt that they had stayed on the Taiyin Star for quite some time and it was time to take their leave.

Therefore, Li Yi said to Xihe and Changxi, "Two Daoist friends, my three brothers have overstayed our welcome for many days. It is time for us to depart!"

Upon hearing Li Yi say this, Yuanshi and Tongtian also knew it was time to leave.

During this period, Xihe and Changxi had frequently discussed the Dao with Tongtian and Yuanshi, and their comprehension of the Dao had deepened considerably.

Upon hearing that the three were about to leave, they were very reluctant. However, they also knew that the three had their own matters to attend to, so they did not dare to ask them to stay.

Thus, Li Yi bid farewell to the two and left the Taiyin Star with Yuanshi and Tongtian.

Changxi watched the departing three, then looked at the Yellow Middle Plums in her hand and lamented, "Sister, if they had stayed a little longer, our cultivation would have surely doubled."

Xihe also sighed, "Alas! Forget it. For us sisters to receive these four Yellow Middle Plums is already a great fortune. Although we are already Grand Unity, consuming these Yellow Middle Plums after reaching that level might seem like a waste, but it will still greatly increase our cultivation!"

Changxi said, "Sister, you are truly far-sighted. If our sisters had not accommodated Taishang back then, we would have only brought shame upon ourselves. By discussing the Dao with Tongtian and Yuanshi, I realized that not only is their cultivation above ours, but their comprehension of the Great Dao is also above ours.

Although Taishang did not discuss the Dao with us, judging by what Yuanshi and Tongtian said, Taishang's cultivation is far above theirs."

Xihe nodded and said, "Yes! I never expected that by simply doing a favor and giving Taishang a branch of the Moon Laurel, we would receive such a generous gift. We must repay them in the future!"

Changxi nodded and said, "Sister is right. If they need our help with anything in the future, we will spare no effort!"

Xihe nodded, "Indeed, we should!"

Changxi then asked, "Sister, when can we go and explore the Great Primordial Land?"

Xihe smiled and said, "Soon. This discussion on the Dao has helped us considerably, and with the assistance of these Yellow Middle Plums, it won't be long before we can go out, and no longer have to worry about being bullied due to insufficient cultivation!"

After speaking, Xihe took Changxi and went into seclusion!
