Long Yue felt she could hear increasingly subtle sounds, and she could determine direction from the sounds, which emanated from several hundred meters away.

She also smelled a faint fragrance of steamed buns from street vendors advertising their wares, having just opened a basket of steaming buns. Nearby, a few women were buying.

She even heard a child crying loudly because they wanted candied hawthorn but their parents wouldn’t buy it for them.

These sounds, whether near or far, she wouldn’t have been able to hear before.

Is this Soul Technique really that magical? 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

A strange feeling arose in Long Yue’s heart.

"Broken Jade, how long do you think it will take her to master the first level?"

"Probably a long time, right? Even if she can practice it, her aptitude won’t allow it to be that quick?"

"Yes, right!"

Broken Jade’s, Zhe Feng’s voice?

Long Yue was slightly startled. Could she really hear them speaking?

With a sudden motion, she opened her eyes, and the misty white scenery around her disappeared, including the white glowing orb above her head. She found herself back in her room, where Li Qingmu lay quietly beside her.

Long Yue rested her chin in thought for a moment, then got up and walked out. She wanted to find Broken Jade and Zhe Feng.

"Creak!"

The door opened, and Long Yue walked in the direction to the left. Those two were just leaning against the railing there, talking.

Sure enough, she saw the two, leaning against the railing, gazing at the crowd wandering below the inn and the flickering lights.

"Hey, let’s make a bet, see who can guess more accurately and get closer to the real time?"

"Sure, I’m guessing a month!"

"I... I think three months is safer."

"Will it take that long?"

As the two were talking, suddenly, Long Yue’s voice came from behind.

Zhe Feng and Broken Jade both froze, turning to her simultaneously with shock: "You, you you you..."

"Me? What’s wrong with me?"

Long Yue tilted her head, looking puzzled.

She was genuinely confused, why would it take so long? It seemed she had already reached the first level?

Long Yue herself didn’t know, but in Zhe Feng and Broken Jade’s eyes, they saw her current mental state was excellent, and ordinary people would not see it, but they had seen situations of people cultivating Soul Technique, so they naturally knew what was happening.

"Seriously?" Broken Jade suddenly shouted, feeling completely lost, "Isn’t this a bit too fast?"

"Is it fast?"

Long Yue was still somewhat confused. Her baffled state infuriated Broken Jade, "Isn’t this fast? Others with talent in this aspect take several months, and you..."

Broken Jade felt his throat dry up, unable to continue.

Oh heavens, isn’t the gap between people a bit too wide?

They also saw the visualization chart, desperately trying to enhance their soul power, but it was of no use. Why could she do it so easily?

Seeing Broken Jade’s expression of wanting to cry but having no tears, Long Yue somewhat understood. Perhaps she was too fast in mastering the first layer?

But she didn’t feel it was fast.

According to Zhe Feng, if Li Qingmu continued to sleep for a long time and couldn’t wake up, he would remain in eternal slumber, almost akin to dying.

Therefore, Long Yue was eager to wake him.

"Maybe I’m too impatient? Now that I’ve succeeded in the first level, I’ll go and train for the second level, aiming to reach Soul Guide soon and awaken A Mu."

Long Yue said with a serious face, then returned.

Zhe Feng and Broken Jade exchanged a look, each letting out a bitter smile.

"How long will it take her to master the second level?"

"I... I don’t know, don’t want to guess, afraid to embarrass myself."

Zhe Feng’s words were sincere, and Broken Jade touched his nose, click-clicking, that woman, she seems formidable!

Long Yue returned to the room, looked at her man, bending down to give him a gentle kiss, then withdrew and began visualizing again.

She glanced at the first picture, finding that it held no more feelings for her, perhaps because she had mastered the first level?

Then, the second level should follow.

Long Yue turned to the second page, only to find this image incomplete?

Why was it incomplete? She paused and felt something off, instinctively flipping another page, and discovered the subsequent page continued the previous one.

This meant the picture had to be viewed front and back together?

Long Yue immediately focused, and since she had mastered the first level, she found her memory particularly strong, retaining it after one look.

She closed her eyes to begin visualizing this image.

The second picture showed a bright moon, with forests below, a person entering, surrounded by the moon’s light and gentle breeze, making one feel refreshed.

Thus, Long Yue constantly grasped the spiritual world within the picture amidst this beautiful environment.

Time outside passed quickly, ten days soon flew by.

Xuan Xu found them, saw Broken Jade and Zhe Feng, and nodded symbolically. The other party wasn’t displeased, even smiled at him.

"She’s still inside! But these days she cannot be disturbed."

"I know, I’m waiting for him to wake up. The outside matters still require him to decide."

Broken Jade and Zhe Feng roughly knew what happened, each silent, You Su was truly cunning as a fox, using such methods to frame Li Qingmu.

"You Su is skilled at beguiling people, creating illusions. At that time, he created an illusion that made people instinctively believe Mr. Qi was the one who blasted open the mountain, causing a flood and killing them. But in reality, it was Empress Dowager Li’s people."

Silver Armored Soldiers Xuan Xu frowned and said.

At that time, he almost believed it too, but fortunately, his will was fairly solid and he didn’t fall for it. Moreover, after the other party left, he glimpsed and realized it wasn’t Li Qingmu.

So now, a problem arises, Empress Dowager Li linked up with You Su?

If true, the situation becomes really serious.

He’s waiting for Li Qingmu to wake up, so he can report the full situation to Qi Yun. Such a major event can only be decided by him.

Speaking of which, this Emperor is really... elevated.

"You’re waiting for Mr. Qi to wake up? Then you might have to wait a little longer, it’s already been more than ten days, guessing... a good half year won’t do?"

Broken Jade casually uttered a realistic estimate.

"Cough cough!"

Beside him, Zhe Feng lightly coughed to suggest he shouldn’t speak so definitively. After all, Long Yue has already broken a record before; if she succeeds in less than half a year, it would be self-slap in the face.

Broken Jade realized this and promptly shut his mouth.

Xuan Xu glanced at the two and then at the room where Long Yue was, saying calmly: "I think she should be finishing up soon?"

"Ha, how is that possible, isn’t it too soon, uh..."

Broken Jade’s voice abruptly stopped, for he saw a brilliance of colorful lights flickering from Long Yue’s room, a sign of... soul surging!
