Suddenly, the light spots converged into a glowing, petite little girl.

This little girl was only the size of an adult’s palm, round and very cute.

However, she was currently in a state of rage, with hands on her hips, glaring at everyone below, and soon her gaze focused on Li Qianfan.

“You’re the one disturbing my sleep? How dare you!”

The little girl said angrily, then flew over and landed on Li Qianfan’s head, kicking and punching him.

Li Qianfan felt as if his head was being endlessly pecked by a woodpecker, with zero damage but full of insult.

“Are you the Magic Treasure Spirit of the Heavenly Spirit Vase?” Li Qianfan asked, holding his head.

“Obviously!”

The little girl, pulling on Li Qianfan’s hair, huffed arrogantly: “I go by Tian Ling’er and not by any other name!”

“That’s easy then. I’m your master, so you should listen to me. Get off my head,” Li Qianfan said.

“I won’t listen. What can you do about it? You think just because you’re my master, you can order me around?”

Tian Ling’er snorted disdainfully, “I’m just too lazy to bother with you, so you can use me as you please, but then you get all uppity wanting to command me. Keep dreaming!”

Li Qianfan looked utterly confused.

Could it be that his role as master is a sham?

Liu Ruyan’s reminder came promptly: “Qianfan, a magic treasure is not a Spiritual Artifact. A Magic Treasure Spirit has awareness and thoughts just like a person, so you can’t pressure her with your master status. You need to win her over with gentleness and cultivate a relationship with her.”

“Cultivate a relationship? She beat me up the moment we met. How am I supposed to do that?” Li Qianfan said, his head throbbing.

As Tian Ling’er continued to assault Li Qianfan’s noggin, Lin Manyue suddenly spoke up, “Miss Ling’er, your body was shattered, and it took a major effort from our benefactor to gather your pieces and restore your body, so…”

“So what? Just because he did me a favor, I have to listen to him?” Tian Ling’er huffed, questioning angrily.

“So could you at least cut him some slack? He did help you after all,” Lin Manyue said.

Tian Ling’er huffed, her expression full of disdain, but she finally stopped punching and kicking Li Qianfan.

Li Qianfan gave Lin Manyue an appreciative look and then turned to Tian Ling’er with a smile, “Ling’er, I had no choice but to disturb you. You wouldn’t come out, so I had to use this method.”

Tian Ling’er’s face softened considerably.

Then Tian Ling’er flew down from Li Qianfan’s head, crossed her arms, and said, “Since you helped me gather my fragments and restore my form, and since we’ve already established a blood bond, I allow you to use me. But when you do, keep it down so you don’t disturb me.”

“Alright, alright, no problem,” Li Qianfan quickly nodded.

“I’m going back to sleep!”

Tian Ling’er flew up over everyone, let out a sharp cry, and her petite body burst into countless bright green light spots.

Tian Ling’er was gone, leaving Li Qianfan, Liu Ruyan, Ah Hua, and Zhou Zitong exchanging glances.

“Ahem… The Heavenly Spirit Vase indeed has a Magic Treasure Spirit, which leaves me with no more doubts. The Heavenly Spirit Vase is genuinely a magic treasure,” Liu Ruyan finally broke the silence, though her voice was notably cautious, clearly wary of Tian Ling’er.

Li Qianfan curiously asked, “Are there many magic treasures?”

“Of course not. The entire Cultivator Administration Bureau has less than ten magic treasures, and each of the Five Chairmen only possesses one,” Liu Ruyan said.

“I see,” Li Qianfan said with a look of understanding.

Then he eagerly exclaimed, “In that case, I now have a magic treasure, just like the Five Chairmen of the Cultivator Administration Bureau.”

“Look at you, so smug,”

Liu Ruyan chided with a smile, but then she turned serious, looking at everyone present.

“As the saying goes, ‘a treasure invokes trouble.’ Qianfan is still only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, and his strength isn’t strong enough. If enemies come to snatch the Heavenly Spirit Vase, it would be a disaster.”

“So now, everyone must make a Heart Demon Oath not to reveal the secret of the Heavenly Spirit Vase.”

With that, Liu Ruyan was the first to raise her right hand to swear the Heart Demon Oath, followed by Ah Hua, Zhou Zitong, and even Lin Manyue.

The Heart Demon Oath is different from ordinary vows; if violated, it can create heart demons that hinder cultivation, and may even lead to Deviation.

Thus, the Heart Demon Master holds immense restraint; once a Heart Demon Oath is sworn, it must be honored, or disaster will follow.

“Manyue, how is your recovery going?” Li Qianfan asked.

“Benefactor, my Heavenly Soul and Earth Soul are recovering quickly. In another seven or eight days, I should be complete with all three souls,” Lin Manyue said gratefully.

“Good, that’s excellent news. But stop calling me ‘benefactor,’ just call me by my name,” Li Qianfan said.

“How could I possibly do that?” Lin Manyue replied.

“Just listen to me,” Li Qianfan said.

After exiting the Heavenly Spirit Vase along with Liu Ruyan, Ah Hua, Zhou Zitong, and Hei Yue, Liu Ruyan extended her hand in front of Li Qianfan.

“What for?” Li Qianfan asked, bewildered.

“Give me the Heavenly Spirit Vase. Such a precious treasure is wasted on you; better let us use it for cultivation,” Liu Ruyan said with a sly grin.

Li Qianfan instantly understood.

Liu Ruyan intended to use the dense nature’s spiritual energy inside the Heavenly Spirit Vase for cultivation!

With such abundant spiritual energy, their cultivation would surely progress like a rocket, their realms skyrocketing.

To Li Qianfan, however, the spiritual energy in the Heavenly Spirit Vase held little value, as his realm primarily advanced through the Yuan Yin Qi inside women.

From that perspective, it would actually be more beneficial for Liu Ruyan to manage the Heavenly Spirit Vase.

Besides, Li Qianfan and Liu Ruyan were like an old married couple; what was his was hers, so it didn’t make much of a difference.

“Can you use it?” Li Qianfan asked.

“Of course. Magic treasures have Primordial Spirits, so even if you’re not nearby, the spirit can control the treasure,” Liu Ruyan replied.

So Li Qianfan handed the Heavenly Spirit Vase to Liu Ruyan and said, “Be careful; that Tian Ling’er is no easy character to deal with.”

“I’ve got my ways,” Liu Ruyan said with a smile.

With the Heavenly Spirit Vase in hand, Liu Ruyan went upstairs with Ah Hua, Zhou Zitong, and Hei Yue, entering the bedroom.

In the room, Liu Ruyan placed the Heavenly Spirit Vase in the center, then circulated True Qi, gently rubbing the vase’s surface with her scallion-like fingers brimming with True Qi.

Before long, a beam of light flew out from inside!
