83: He had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and then he was bound again.

Before he finished speaking, a gentle spiritual energy enveloped Su Lin.

This power wasn't merely a restraint; it also included guidance, allowing him to relax his body.

At this moment, inside the bamboo building, night had fallen deeply.

Several lamps placed in the corners glowed with a faint blue spiritual fire.

"Your disciple must carefully check whether Revered Master's Foundation is stable after newly advancing to the Soul Transformation Stage."

Ye You leaned closer, her nose almost touching Su Lin's clothes.

"Revered Master has just Undergone Tribulation; the spiritual energy at this moment is the purest. It smells so good."

"Your disciple's Abyssal Devouring Bloodline is most sensitive to this residual Law power."

She continued, "Let me see if there are any bad things hidden in this most important place."

Su Lin looked at her pretty face, "My Foundation is very stable. It's you, on the other hand; if you keep messing around like this, be careful of Qi Deviation."

"I'll have to taste it first, then we can talk."

Ye You's tongue lightly licked her lips, "Your disciple is checking for hidden dangers for Revered Master. If any residual power from the Heavenly Tribulation is hidden deep within, it will be a big problem in the future."

"However, Revered Master cannot move around when I'm checking your body."

Then, Ye You pulled out the Machine-Guiding Thread wrapped around her hand.

The Machine-Guiding Thread changed form in Ye You's hand, transforming into a silver long whip.

With a flick of the silver whip, it skillfully wrapped around Su Lin's body.

Su Lin tried to mobilize his newly Breakthrough Soul Transformation Stage spiritual energy but found that the spiritual energy dissipated into nothingness the moment it touched the silver whip.

Even though he had Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage, Su Lin was still powerless against Ye You, who was in the Body Integration Stage.

"It seems this weapon I gave you, Revered Master, you're using it more and more skillfully."

"Of course. For such a useful Divine Artifact, your disciple naturally has to make good use of it."

Outside the bamboo building, the grass rustled.

Four cats huddled together. At this moment, they maintained their cat forms and had not transformed.

They only revealed eight ears, looking nervously towards the building.

Although the area around the bamboo building was covered by a barrier, it was clear that the barrier did not affect them.

Little Orange's ears twitched nervously, and she whispered, "Revered Master... has lowered her head."

SilverUpturned's pupils were wide open in the dim light.

Ink Shadow clapped a hand over Little Orange's mouth, warning in a whisper, "Don't make a sound!"

They couldn't see the specific situation, only Ye You's shoulders rising and falling slightly, her long hair hanging down.

Little Orange asked doubtfully, "Didn't Revered Master just say she wanted compensation? Maybe this is the compensation she wants?"

SilverUpturned's tail tip lightly swept the ground, "It seems like she's tasting something?"

"I don't smell danger, only the very special auras of Revered Master and Lord Su mixed together."

After an unknown amount of time, Ye You's shoulders seemed to rise and fall slightly.

She finally looked up, but her long hair still covered the side of her face.

She reached out, her fingertips lightly brushing her lips.

"Revered Master, was your disciple's inspection diligent or not?"

"Diligent, yes, but next time, put away your weapon?"

Ye You chuckled at the words, "Revered Master's Foundation is indeed incredibly profound and pure, without a trace of Impurities left by the Heavenly Tribulation. The taste also greatly satisfies your disciple."

She glanced at Su Lin, then changed the subject, "As for this Machine-Guiding Thread... that won't do. Without this item, Revered Master would definitely not be well-behaved.

Your disciple is also doing this to focus more on checking for hidden dangers for Revered Master, you see."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye You did not immediately untie the Machine-Guiding Thread but slowly turned her head and looked towards the clump of grass outside the window.

"You four, have you seen enough?"

The grass suddenly fell silent, followed by a flurry of panicked exclamations.

"Run... run away! We've been discovered!" SilverUpturned was the first to act.

The other three immediately followed after seeing SilverUpturned run.

Ye You didn't even get up; she just subtly moved her finger.

The Machine-Guiding Thread that had just been untied from Su Lin's body transformed into a silver light, instantly splitting into four thinner silver threads in the air, chasing after them at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

After a few short gasps, the four silver threads had precisely wrapped around their ankles.

A huge force came, and they were uncontrollably dragged back, finally landing with a "plop."

Four fluffy bodies were tied together and thrown onto the bamboo building's floor.

"Alright, stop pretending to be pitiful. If you've rested enough, transform into human form; it'll be easier to do things."

The four Cat Girls on the ground trembled, not daring to disobey in any way.

The silver threads on their bodies loosened, and four bursts of light shone.

After the light dissipated, four beautiful maidens dressed in maid uniforms appeared in their original spots, heads bowed, not daring to look at Ye You.

"Since you're all transformed, then go run an errand for me.

Previously, when helping Revered Master resist the Heavenly Tribulation, several Yao Race Elders were injured. Go check on them for me, ask what they need, and report back to me."

"Yes, Revered Master."

The four answered in unison, preparing to withdraw.

"Wait!"

"This Undergoing Tribulation was thanks to the vigorous protection of the various Yao Race Kings. A mere visit would seem too meager."

Su Lin's mind stirred, and his consciousness sank into his Sea of Consciousness.

As he Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage, the "Revered Master Bond System" mall interface indeed unlocked more areas, and various item icons lit up.

Some Medicinal Pills that could not be exchanged before were now unlocked.

He quickly browsed and soon found his target.

Thanks to reuniting with his several disciple and enhancing their bonds, he had accumulated quite a few points.

He first spent a portion of his points to exchange for a bottle of Medicinal Pills labeled [Spirit Replenishing Liquid]. He handed it to Ye You.

"Youer, although you seem unharmed after devouring the Heavenly Tribulation just now, the backlash from the Heavenly Dao might harm your Origin.

This item can nourish your Meridians and should help you stabilize your mind."

Ye You was slightly startled. She took the jade bottle, pulled out the stopper, and lightly sniffed it.

The quality of this spirit liquid was extremely high, and the vitality it contained was greatly beneficial even to someone of her Realm; it was definitely not an ordinary item.

She looked at Su Lin, "Revered Master, it seems the secrets you hold are even more numerous than your disciple imagined."

She put away the spirit liquid without asking further, "However, your disciple likes it very much."

Su Lin smiled. He then spent some more points to exchange for several bottles of Medicinal Pills with different effects, distributing them to the four little Cat Girls.

"Take these Medicinal Pills with you and distribute them to the various Yao Race Kings who acted as Protectors this time.

Just say it's a small token of my appreciation, as they bravely assisted me during this Breakthrough."

"As for you four?

How about I give you some dried fish?" Su Lin asked doubtfully.

"Dried fish?"

The four Cat Girls, who were respectfully holding the Medicinal Pill bottles, heard this word, and their ears perked up in unison. Four pairs of eyes instantly sparkled as they looked at Su Lin.

"Revered Master, are you feeding stray cats on the street?"

Su Lin also realized that his words were a bit off; dried fish was indeed not very suitable for four Yao Race members who could transform into human form.

He lightly coughed and once again immersed his consciousness into the System mall.

He quickly browsed, his gaze fixed on several items.

"Hmm... this one seems good." His mind stirred, and he spent a small amount of points.

"These are [Spirit Pendants]. They are not offensive or defensive Magical Artifacts, but when worn, they have the effect of gathering spiritual Qi and calming the mind, which should also help with cultivation.

The style is also quite unique. You can take them and play with them." Su Lin handed them four jade pendants.
