Fu Changling watched as Qin Yan headed over towards the Wenyue Palace. After standing for a moment, he then withdrew his gaze and headed off into the dense forest on his own.

The dwelling that needed to be built still needs to be built, and the things that should be done must also be done.

In the dense forest, he chopped the wood for his dwelling and carefully identified the spiritual herbs. After picking the spiritual plants and beasts needed, he returned and then started cooking.

Qin Yan returned from the Wenyue Palace shortly after. Fu Changling then went up with the meal and said happily, "Shīxiōng is back? Did Shīfù say anything today?"

Qin Yan watched as Fu Changling set the meal on the table. "Shīxiōng didn't go to the disciples' dining hall. Eating some spiritual plants and beasts on a regular basis is beneficial to your health. Shīxiōng, you're pushing yourself too hard," said Fu Changling, raising his head and staring at Qin Yan. After a brief glance at him, he frowned. "It's not good to be in poor health at such a young age."

Qin Yan was silent. Fu Changling placed the bowls and chopsticks down, sat on his knees on the floor, and peered up at Qin Yan. "Shīxiōng, how about we eat together?"

Qin Yan gazed at the food on the table, and after a pause, he finally said, "Go ahead and eat. I don't need to."

Saying so, Qin Yan thought it over and nevertheless added, "From now on, you can just cook for yourself."

"It's perfectly fine." Fu Changling smiled. "I make an extra serving every day. Just drop by whenever Shīxiōng feels like eating."

"You..." Qin Yan hesitated and drawled, "Really, there's no need for these. No thanks."

"It's up to Shīxiōng to decide whether or not he wants to eat." Fu Changling lifted his chopsticks and turned his head, his eyes as dazzling as stars. "Just remember that I'll just keep waiting."

Qin Yan said nothing else. After standing for a while, he finally turned around and went back to his own room.

After he had left, Fu Changling took a couple of bites of the dish himself. He couldn't help sighing.

He glanced up at Qin Yan's room, propping up his chin.

"Such a difficult person to deal with," he lamented aloud, finishing his meal in silence.

After he had finished eating, Fu Changling returned to his room. He first climbed onto his small bed, took out a spirit stone, and set up a spirit-gathering formation for himself. He then placed the Spirit-Gathering Pagoda at the head of the formation and started meditating with his eyes closed.

He possessed the Heavenly Spiritual Root of the thunder attribute. Such a Spiritual Root was uncommon, and Yunze had only a handful of suitable Gōng methods. In his previous life, he had been searching for the most suitable Gōng method for himself, and finally, in a secret realm, he was able to obtain a Gōng method left behind by an ancient sage. He slightly altered this ancient sage's Gōng method and finally created a setup of his own. It wasn't until he started studying this set of Gōng methods that his cultivation began to improve by leaps and bounds.

In this life, he had no intention of taking such a tortuous route, so he just started trying to run his previous life's Gōng method directly.

Now that his Jindan was damaged, he dared not be too aggressive. Even with the aid of a magic tool such as the Spirit-Gathering Pagoda, he only slowly drew the spiritual power into his body, purified it, and circulated it.
