Xiao He placed his hands on Xiang Nan's back and sent a strand of Astral Qi in. He said, "Don't circulate Astral Qi now. Let the Spiritual Sea rotate as slowly as possible."
"Otherwise, the power of the Galaxy Bow will reach your spiritual sea, causing damage to your spiritual sea."
Xiang Nan acted according to his words. He no longer circulated his Astral Qi and allowed Xiao He's Astral Qi to flow through his meridians to expel the remaining power of the Galaxy Bow.
This method was extremely dangerous. It was equivalent to Xiang Nan putting down all his precautions and accepting Xiao He's invasion of Dipper Qi.
Once Xiao He suddenly had a bad idea, she could directly destroy Xiang Nan's spiritual sea and cripple his cultivation.
However, Xiang Nan did not hesitate, nor did he have the slightest bit of doubt.
Xiao He was deeply moved by Xiang Nan's actions. As an archer, what she needed most was the unconditional trust of her teammates.
Only if her teammates trusted her, and at the same time, her teammates could make her trust her unreservedly, could she use accurate archery to shoot down powerful enemies in the rear.
"Thank you." Xiao He whispered.
Xiang Nan said, "However, I have an ugly remark to make. Not everyone can join my team. What I value the most is not martial arts strength, but martial morality."
"If you were a madman who killed people like crazy, I wouldn't want you."
Xiao He said, "I like fighting, I don't like slaughter. When I was in Amethyst City, I only chose challenging enemy experts to attack. I never aimed my arrows at civilians."
"The actions of the Fallen Snow Sect are their own decision. Those of us who are disciples can only obey."
Xiang Nan nodded and said, "However, I have a lot of personal matters to attend to. I may not be able to spend much time with others. When the opportunity arises, I will introduce you to my other two brothers. They are also trustworthy."
There were two reasons why Xiang Nan did not like to set up a team. One was that he had too many personal matters and too many secrets. It was difficult for him to spare a certain amount of time to do one thing with everyone.
Another reason was that his cultivation base had risen too quickly. He would often receive World Exterminating Divine Lightning for a period of time, and his cultivation base would suddenly jump, leaving all of his teammates far behind.
Back in the Haoran Sect, Xiang Nan and Murong Wanqing were teammates, but now, the difference between their realms was not the slightest bit. There was no possibility of them doing missions together.
Xiao He nodded and said, "I understand your worries. Don't worry, if one day I can't keep up with you, that means I'm not worthy of being your teammate."
Speaking of which, Xiang Nan didn't say anything.
"Xiang Bei, this third pill is about to take shape." Old Man Tian Ji gave Xiang Nan a hint of time and said, "There are about ten minutes left. Can you do it?"
"This pill needs to be refined and consumed immediately, because it raises one's cultivation by years. The longer the pill prevents it, the more medicinal properties it will dissipate."
Xiang Nan did not even think about it and said, "Give this third pill to Xiao He, and it will be considered a reward for abandoning the secret."
"What?" Old Man Tian Ji and the others were all shocked.
The young man hurriedly said, "Xiang Bei, this third pill can raise your cultivation by eight years! How many people have risked their lives to snatch that treasure!"
"Such a treasure, are you going to hand it over to someone?"
"Aren't you being too generous?"
"Eight years of cultivation? No, no, this kind of pill is too precious. I can't accept it. Besides, I also shot and killed a few of your teammates before."
Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I have never been stingy when dealing with friends. Besides, the Profound Sky Sect has used many benefits to rope in all martial artists in the world."
"If martial artists abandon their secrets and come to our side without any benefits, why should they transfer their camp? I don't have anything else good, only this pill can be given to you, Xiao He."
The young man nodded, "I agree. Brother Xiang Bei's general pattern is correct. However, giving benefits should be done by the sect. Right now, you are sacrificing your personal interests."
Xiang Nan said, "I don't care about this. It's settled. Senior Tian Ji, do you have any objections to giving that pill to Xiao He?"
Old Man Tian Ji smiled and said, "I was once an elder of the Fallen Snow Sect. Now that I see that some disciples of the Fallen Snow Sect are willing to change their ways, I naturally welcome them greatly."
"Mm, that's it." Xiang Nan nodded.
Xiao He stared blankly at Xiang Nan's back.
Everyone could tell the truth, but how many people could do it at the end of the day?
A medicinal pill that could increase one's cultivation by eight years! Giving someone away was a gift. This kind of courage was not something a martial artist would possess.
However, Xiang Nan did not care about this small pill. It was just a single pill that had only increased his cultivation by one stage. If he could absorb the World Exterminating Divine Lightning, it would increase his cultivation by more than ten stages at once. How many small realms would it be?
When the pill came out of the furnace, Old Man Tian Ji gave it to Xiao He and said, "Little girl Xiao He, your realm is far inferior to Xiang Bei's. If you swallow this pill, I'm afraid you'll be able to directly jump from the mid-to late-Fifth Heaven Scryer Stage to the Seventh Heaven Scryer Stage."
Xiao He respectfully held the pill in both hands and hesitated, "Why don't you give it to this big brother?"
Xiao He looked at the young man.
The young man smiled and shook his head, "We have done our duty in resisting foreign enemies, but you have transferred from the Fallen Snow Sect to our camp. It is not easy. This medicinal pill should be a reward for you."
Xiao He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, swallowed the pill, and sat down to refine it.
At this moment, without Xiao He's help, Xiang Nan didn't have any major problems. Xiao He had already extracted 90% of the power of the Galaxy Bow from his body. At the last point, he could casually use the Nine Purities Cosmos Technique to refine it.
"What's next?" Old Man Tian Ji looked at Xiang Nan and said, "What do you plan to do?"
Xiang Nan thought for a moment and said, "We'll find an opportunity later. Everyone, go out and reinforce this ice door. Then we'll return."
"Help Miss Su Ran deal with the danger first. Everything else will be taken care of later."
"Very reasonable." Old Man Tian Ji stroked his beard and smiled happily. His greatest wish was to save Su Ran.
Xiao He had absorbed this pill for eight years, which was the sum of the first two pills of Xiang Nan.
Coupled with the gold content of her cultivation realm, it was far from being comparable to Xiang Nan's. This time, it took her more than half an hour to refine it.
The sound of two breakthroughs occurred in Xiao He's body. The first time was to reach the sixth stage of Heaven Scryer, and the second time was to reach the early stage of the seventh stage of Heaven Scryer when the medicinal effects were exhausted.
"Xiang Nan, thank you." Xiao He opened her eyes and was naturally filled with joy.
Xiang Nan smiled, "Your realm is too low, and you really need to improve. You can't always rely on the Star Bow."
"Alright, let's go out now and have Senior Tian Ji repair the ice door completely."
After everyone left the Ice Palace, Old Man Tian Ji activated the formation and controlled the Profound Ice Bombs, repairing the gate of the Ice Palace completely.
After that, everyone returned to the Ice Palace.
Old Man Tian Ji said with a serious expression, "Now, it's time to pull out the cultivation technique inheritance from his body."
