at direction. The physique cultivators are at the front, followed by the weapon cultivators, then the spell cultivators and ghost cultivators. Hua Ci is at the very back, with two cultivators staying...That must be a cellar used by farmers to store grain. The cellar is several meters deep and has been half-opened. Lu Ye came to the mouth of the cellar and peered down, immediately seeing a dirty little face.

The little girl looked to be only seven or eight years old. It was unclear how long she had been hiding here, but her face was pale and sallow, clearly showing signs of malnutrition over the past few weeks. If not for this place being a food storage area, she would have likely starved to death.

In a somewhat dim environment, only one pair of eyes remained bright.

The little girl curled up under the cellar floor, looking up at Lu Ye, still maintaining a wary posture, like an enraged little beast.

They looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

Perhaps it was after a great change that she lived in such fear and trepidation for so long. The little girl was extremely vigilant, but now she trusted Lu Ye somewhat. She quickly became intensely dependent on him.

"You're coming yourself" he said with a half-smile.

>

He held the little girl in his arms, drew water from the well, and then used magic to boil it. He brought a large wooden tub, adjusted the water temperature, and only then placed the little girl inside.

"Take off your clothes and wash yourself clean!" Lu Ye ordered her.

But the little girl just sat in the tub, staring at him intently, afraid that if she blinked he would vanish.

Lu Ye was having a headache, and after coaxing her for a few more words and assuring her that he wouldn't leave, the little girl finally slowly started to move.

She changed the water several times, and the little girl washed herself until she was squeaky clean. Half-heartedly, they had found the girl's clothes from the rubble and debris, brought them over, and helped her put them on.

This time she didn't have much resistance to the idea of resigning halfway through.

After washing her hands, the little girl walked up to Lu Ye again. She reached out and tugged at his clothes quietly, standing motionless without a sound.

"Gulu gulu," a sound suddenly came out, Lu Ye looked down at the little girl's belly and realized she must be hungry. So he found some food from this realm again, cooked it and let her eat it.

After the meal, the little girl fell asleep slowly and soundly.

Lü Yè andbàn cí were stumped. The two looked at each other, at a loss.

After a long pause, Lu Ye finally spoke, "What should we do"

They were just passing through, on their way to the secret place mentioned by Banci. But now they've ended up saving a little girl. Such a young child, who hasn't even been exposed to cultivation, is definitely not suitable to be kept around. But leaving her behind would be even worse.

She was the only one left alive in this entire realm. Leaving her here would be too cruel.

After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "Give it to me."

Lu Ye stared fixedly at the coal ball in Ban Ci's hand, his expression filled with astonishment. "A small world"

"Li Daoist has sharp eyes, to actually recognize this is a small world," said the person.

The land leaves were silent. Of course, he didn't recognize them, he was just guessing casually. Unexpectedly, this really was a small world. After all, as far as he knew, the only treasure that could accommodate living people was something like a small world.

He saw some records in the Xiyuan Pavilion, knowing that this thing was an extremely rare treasure. No one knew how it was born, but from its appearance, it didn't seem like anything special at all. But inside, it was a world of its own.

This world may be small, offering little in terms of offense or defense, but it has its own unique charm.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It shelters living beings, but that is merely a trivial function of it.

"Don't starve her to death," Lu Ye reminded. "That little girl is just an ordinary person, and she still needs to eat and drink. Even if she's taken in by a half-hearted way, if she's ignored for a long time, it will inevitably be worse than death."

"Rest assured." Ban Ci replied, taking all the food Lu Ye had brought before and then finding more food and water, throwing them into the small world together.

Now without a worry in the world, the two set off on their journey again.

After a hurried month, I finally arrived at my destination.

"Is this the place" Lu Ye asked.

He nodded slightly.

Lu Ye looked around, but couldn't see anything special.

But if he really wanted to transform his spiritual energy, he could just go to the Starry Pavilion. He didn't have to go through all this trouble.

"Go in," Ban Ci said, leading the way into the cave. Lu Ye followed closely behind.

Before going in, Lu Ye casually threw a defensive magic tool nearby. It was a habit of his; whenever he entered such an unknown place, he would always leave a backup.

There was a hint of confusion in his mind. Based on his observations of Ban Ci over the past few weeks, this woman should have come from a good family; otherwise, it would be impossible for her to even possess something like that small world. If so, if she truly wanted someone to protect her, why would she choose him

Even if one were to say she had some ambition for herself, Lu Ye couldn't sense any malice from her. She even revealed the location of this secret place to him.

I can't figure it out, and I'm too lazy to think about it.

The cave was very deep, extending downwards for dozens of breaths before reaching the bottom. Those who arrived here first had already set up some illuminating objects around the walls, casting a dim light in all directions.

Only then did Lu Ye make out the surroundings. It was a huge cave, with strange-shaped stone pillars everywhere. At the front, there were slabs of peculiar stone, like steps, extending upwards level by level.

The mist flowed out of the stone cauldron, cascading down the stone slabs like a waterfall. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lu Ye nodded, though the probability of such an event happening was low, inviting him over halfway was a precaution against this kind of situation. Some things are not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of one.

To ensure nothing went wrong, Lu Ye immediately began setting up his formation.

Lú Yè was very curious about how this place tempered the cultivators' spiritual power, and naturally wanted to observe it.

As soon as Ye entered the scene, he saw Banci stepping onto the lowest step. However, what puzzled Luye was that when Banci took this step, it seemed like he had to bear a considerable amount of pressure.

Because her movements were slow, one foot landed on the stairs and it took three full breaths for the other foot to follow.

After Banci stabilized her footing, the white mist on the stairs surged toward her like a living thing, pouring into her body and vanishing.

Lu Ye estimated that the white fog-like thing should be the source that could help people temper their spiritual power.

This is the end.is frame to tremble slightly. The light on the shield he was holding dimmed a little.It seems that he was affected by the roar of Amber, causing his spiritual power to become a bit disoriented.With a...
