Shirong nodded gravely. “Do you intend to summon another? Because if so, I would advise against it, since a second one—especially one as powerful as the one you already have—would most likely kill you in the attempt, and if it doesn’t, keeping two such creatures in your nervous system would now leave you in terrible chronic pain, let alone the horror you’ll endure to summon them in battle.”
Her eyes flickered. “Really? To be honest I didn’t think I would right now, but would do so in the future…” she trailed.
The Grand Elder slapped his left thigh. “Then I did right by warning you. You must have thought so because right now you’re not suffering at all, so why not adding another, even more powerful one? Well, you’re fine because your personal summons basically used your entire nervous system as his house, so his power is actually spread out over it. But if you add another one, it’ll have to share the same space, space that you’ll have to carve out in order to let them cohabit inside you.’
‘Knowing this, you thought with your genius—probably unrivaled genius—that you could easily do that, but what you didn’t take in account was the severe amount of power needed to keep such a high-ranking monster. Such amount would be something your body can’t take … unless your Sun Core and your energy channels are repaired.’
‘Obviously having a much higher cultivation as well, since that’s the only way your meridians and energy channels can grow, allowing more power to be gathered and cycled at a faster rate. Now that I think about it, that’s also why your meridians would eventually combust, since they and your channels are too small to gather the amount of energy you require to perform such skills, so you keep straining them to do things they shouldn’t even accomplish at that stage! And please, don’t even think that opening the sixth gate would’ve solved the issue since it would allow you to have a far better grasp of your nervous system!”
The young woman’s eyes widened, gravely acquiescing what she heard.
That was exactly what she thought, since she painfully opened—and almost died for it—the sixth gate a year ago to increase her chances of successfully condensing another powerful summons inside her, despite being able to do so at the fifth!
Shit!
She would’ve made a serious mistake had she gone through with it!
This tattoo baldy might’ve saved her life right there!
She closed her eyes for a second.
When she opened them, she cupped her fists then said, “I sincerely thank the Outer Court Grand Elder for your advice and this Queen will definitely implement it.”
But Shirong waved his hand. “No need to stand in ceremony, Your Royal Highness. Your talent in Letter Matter is heaven-defying, and I’d wager that at twenty-seven, you’re probably the youngest mid-level grandmaster of this universe, hence why’s the upper management is willing to help you.’

’To even contend and defeat Crown Princess Meihui, many elders surmised that your Moon Core must’ve reached at least the perfect stage at least twice—I would wager thrice—, hence your understandable assumptions. After all, why would you come in our sect when you would’ve directly been accepted as a core disciple, or even the personal disciple of a Palace Master or Mistress!”
Lyshisha blushed a little. “Thank you Grand Elder, for your praise, and while I did come here for this reason as well, I came here for another…” she said, proceeding to explain her sister’s situation, what she did and what solution she hoped the sect could provide, willing to pay any amount necessary as it must take priority over her broken core.
The Body Maniac eyes widened as well. “Well, I didn’t expect that! But it showcased how much you care about your family over your wellbeing, so that’s good! Very Good!” he said.
He then scratched his head grimed with multicolored and opaque tattoos. “Well, the good news is she can be saved. The “bad news” is you’re gonna have to get the ingredients for it, and it’s gonna be quite dangerous. Actually, these ingredients would be made into the pill your sister will need, so this adventure won’t be wasteful. Plus it would prove the old fogies—and good ol’me—your determination as a disciple, but also as a person.’
‘But to be frank with you, we already possess such pill, but Your Royal Highness must understand that your sister’s health is of no concern to our sect since she doesn’t belong there, and you haven’t made enough contributions to our sect to warrant such a pill. We already agreed to resolve your broken core because one, you’re our disciple, but also and especially because of your potential. Your political power can’t do anything about that. I hope that Your Royal Highness can understand our position,” he said with a solemn face.
Lyshisha nodded, and replied, “But I perfectly understand what you said Grand Elder, and I know that the sect has in your parlance, given me the face I deserve by receiving me shortly with my requests. So please, tell me where I can find those ingredients. My sister awaits.”
“Alright, then, and one last thing, you must do it without external help and we’ll know about it since you must imprint your mana on the ingredients!” he said.
“Understood!”
A Jiu Tian Sect upper management wants to you transfer data. Do you allow it?
Of course she would!
Downloading data…
The data in her brain. She knew where to go first.
The Hanfeng Forest!
Now that she knew where to go, she only had one last question for the Grand Elder out of curiosity. “Grand Elder, how long will it take for my broken core to be repaired? I do have a queendom to care for…” she asked.
The Body Maniac stroked his beard, his gaze wandering aimlessly on the ceiling. “About a day, two max depending on your body’s constitution and bone frame,” he replied.
Her mouth broke into a shit-eating grin.
Well, how could it be an issue with her ninth bone frame?
She could already imagine how cultivating normally would be, especially when her fully opened meridians would allow her to gather energy far more quickly than practically everyone in the known universe!
She couldn’t wait to finish this mission to get her sister—and herself—fixed!
