Hua Linglong: ...

While she was lost in thought, Song Yan actually stood in front of the array shield.

His face bore a calm expression.

He didn't know what exactly Di Cunxin intended to do.

However, since Di Cunxin wanted him to disembark here and did not desire for him to actually reach the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace, then... it was tantamount to telling him: his correct choice now was to safely proceed to the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace.

Di Cunxin's actions temporarily put his mind at ease.

...

...

Star Raft Market.

Di Cunxin glanced up at the sign hanging high, identified the two words "Pawn Shop" at the end, and then strode in. He then took out that sword, born from the fusion of "Sword Mother of a Thousand Throats" and "Jalayosa", which absorbed the flying swords of many genius sword cultivators of this world. Thereafter, he also extracted numerous treasures filled with a sinister aura.

The inside of the pawn shop was pitch-black; a hand emerged from the darkness, brushing aside the various external treasures, grasping that sword in the center. As the five fingers caressed it, the violent divine soul of the sword cultivator on the flying sword instantly quieted down.

A voice sounded:

"The sword is not bad; it could've fetched a good price initially, but unfortunately, it was premature and damaged, so it's not worth much now."

"Hmm..."

"You can pawn it for a hundred ordinary starfire spirit stones, or for a mostly damaged gray world core, your choice."

Di Cunxin was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you have any elixirs that purify one's own cause and effect?"

A voice came from behind the pawn shop window: "One defective Soul Purifying Nirvana Pill, although it's defective, it can still be consumed; however, after consumption, it will feel worse than death. But if you get through it, the effect is the same as a normal Soul Purifying Nirvana Pill. Want it?"

Di Cunxin said, "With the remaining treasures, I'd like to exchange them for an elixir that repairs soul cracks of the Profound Yellow Realm."

A voice from the pawn shop window replied, "At most, it counts for one Origin Essence Pill. This pill is common, and its effectiveness is uncertain. It still depends on you."

Di Cunxin said, "Deal."

With those words, the various treasures in front of the pawn shop window instantly disappeared. Soon after, two pill bottles were tossed out.

One was labeled Soul Purifying Nirvana Pill (Defective), and the other was labeled Origin Essence Pill.

Di Cunxin carefully put them away and then left the pawn shop quickly heading towards the Nine Cranes Ancient Ship.

He carefully perceived the connection with the Return Compass, but the connection wasn't severed.

He let out a cold snort secretly, then thought to himself, 'That kid actually didn't fall for it. Forget it, for now, keep some distance from him. Now, I have lost my lifebound world, and my divine soul is damaged. After passing the test of the Celestial Wondrous Sword Palace, I'll focus more on cultivation.'

After thinking this, Di Cunxin felt an immense sense of relief.

He casually maneuvered with countless calculations, but if they failed, he wouldn't be disheartened, as he picked up and let go without any obsession or reluctance.

...

...

In the distance, an image of the scene in the ship cabin flashed before Ning Yunmiao's eyes, and she nodded slightly.

Reacher saw it too and smiled, "Interesting."

Ning Yunmiao glanced at him and said, "What one sees is all reflected from oneself."

Reacher smiled and said, "Yunmiao Daoist friend, aren't you indirectly saying I am a treacherous person?"

Ning Yunmiao said, "Before coming here, Grandfather didn't tell me there might be a disciple holding his token here. It probably was just one of the many he scattered during his travels in the starry sky, and he didn't actually expect him to survive to reach the Myriad Swords Star Realm. However... along the way, I quite like this child."

Reacher said, "Yunmiao Daoist friend, have you ever thought that the compass might be a trap deliberately set by Di Cunxin? But that Song kid saw through this trap and even considered our covert observation, simultaneously understanding your nature, and thus deliberately staged this scene."

Ning Yunmiao said, "That child is still just in the Divinity Transformation Realm. How could he see through the 'Nine Nether Blood Lotus Soup'? How could he see through Di Cunxin's compass trap? How could he guess that you and I are still watching?

You also mentioned that he rose from a small world, surely his mind is as vast as an ocean. If he saw my benevolent side, wouldn't he suspect that this benevolence is just my facade, and that I have ulterior motives for giving him the cultivation technique?"

Reacher nodded slightly, pondered, and suddenly said, "Perhaps he not only guesses, but is also a gambler. Once he bets on something, he will pursue it madly and leave the rest to fate. Either win everything or lose it all. And now, he has undoubtedly won."

Ning Yunmiao's face suddenly showed anger, and she said, "Reacher! He is not you!"

Reacher hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Alright, alright, I won't talk nonsense anymore, I won't destroy the immortal seedling in your heart."

Ning Yunmiao said, "No matter what you say, I trust my own feelings."

Reacher suddenly said, "Yunmiao Daoist friend, I still need to remind you. Song's body and soul thought are both foreign, and this must be from his lifebound characters. This kind of lifebound characters, I've never heard of, they don't seem like normal characters."

Ning Yunmiao said, "No matter where they're from, ultimately, we seek the same path. Don't ask about the path before, only seek to walk together in the future. No matter what he realized before, as long as he focuses on the sword in the future, so what?

The great path is unfeeling, who among men is without fault? Haven't we let many souls die unjustly under our hands? Aren't there many instances of watching death without saving? We've just witnessed reincarnations, known destiny, so we do not defy the heavens."

Reacher wanted to speak but stopped, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, alright, what path are we discussing now! Yunmiao Daoist friend, let's quickly replenish our starfire spirit stones and return soon."

Ning Yunmiao didn't want to argue further and was about to nod when her eyebrows suddenly furrowed, saying, "Did you feel it?"

Reacher sensed slightly and said, "It's a bit chaotic, and... something's off. Quickly replenish, and then let's leave swiftly!"
