After signing the contract, Hu Shangke pulled Chen Yan aside and whispered, "Dude, this ti renting a house, there won’t be any issues, right? This isn’t like that suburban bungalow we rented last ti! If sothing goes wrong again, we won’t be able to afford the compensation."
Chen Yan smiled and patted Hu Licking Dog on the shoulder.

After seeing off Hu Shangke and the landlord, Chen Yan went back inside to take a look around, checking the water and electricity to ensure there were no problems before heading to his own ho.
Upon entering, he found the house empty and called out but got no response from Gu Qingyi.
Did that woman go out?
Chen Yan was slightly surprised but didn’t think much of it. He went upstairs into the Mirror World, finding no trace of the little girl in the room. He walked to the window and looked down, spotting the little girl sitting in the yard.
Chen Yan jumped down directly from the third floor and walked up to the little girl, "What are you looking at?"
"Your Spirit Gathering Array is really poorly made." The little girl pointed to the array in the yard made of blue stone strips, "It seems you’re not only weak, you can’t do alchemy, body refining, or cultivate your Primordial Spirit, and your array skills are also lacking."
Chen Yan wasn’t happy about that!
"Is it that my array skills are lacking? It’s because this world doesn’t have good materials." Chen Yan shook his head, "Alright, stop being picky. I found you a place to stay, co with ."
The two of them stayed in the Mirror World, coming out from Chen Yan’s ho and walking to the house Chen Yan rented in the neighborhood.
Chen Yan unlocked the door with the key and led the little girl inside.
After looking around, the little girl was satisfied with the clean and bright space of the room.
Especially in the corner of the living room where a full-length floor mirror was placed, the little girl imdiately felt a sense of security.
"Living here, you can turn lights on and off, eat, sleep, even watch TV... Anyway, in the real world outside, even if soone sees the lights on or hears the TV, they’ll just think soone’s at ho."
Chen Yan handed the key to the little girl and said, "I’ll get soone to co and clean the room tomorrow."
"No need."
The little girl smiled, went to the kitchen to get a bowl of water, dipped her finger in it, and started chanting.
Then, she pointed with her hand!
A golden light shot out, and suddenly the house seed to be filled with rising dust, gathering into a clump, finally rushing into the bowl of water she was holding!
The originally clear bowl of water quickly turned black as ink as the dust filled it.
Looking around the room again, it was spotless. Chen Yan ran a hand over the table—no dust!
Even the footprints left on the floor while inspecting the house earlier were gone.
"This is called the ’Dust-removal Skill’." The little girl smiled, went to the kitchen, and casually poured out the bowl of black water, "One bowl of water per room, I can clean this house in no ti."
"This spell is great." Chen Yan was interested.
"Want to learn? I’ll teach you."
The little girl wasn’t stingy, found paper and pen, and wrote down a spell to give to Chen Yan, "You’ve helped a lot; this spell is my way of repaying you. If you have any cultivation questions in the future, you can ask ."
Then, she thought for a mont, frowning, "You have Guiyuan Realm cultivation, but you don’t seem to have any body-protecting divine techniques. You’re so fragile, you could die easily."
She picked up the pen again and wrote down another spell. This one was more complex and advanced than the ’Dust-removal Skill,’ filling two pages with details on how to gather Primordial Qi, guide it through the body, and finally trigger it...
After writing ticulously for two pages, she handed them to Chen Yan.
"You’re at the Guiyuan Realm, so this spell is just right for Mortal Cultivation Tiers. You can use it until you reach the Celestial Human Realm."
Chen Yan took the papers and looked at them, curious, "Is this a body-protecting spell?"
"It’s called the ’Golden Light Technique,’ a defensive spell that creates a golden light to block external attacks when used. With your Guiyuan Realm cultivation, it can last about a minute."
Chen Yan raised an eyebrow—this was a good find.
The Protective Rune Techniques of his "Law" spellbook were defensive as well, but they were more advanced, and he hadn’t mastered them yet. This Golden Light Technique seed much simpler in comparison.
"But rember, no spell is perfect; they all have strengths and weaknesses. The Golden Light Technique’s weakness is its poor defense against spells that directly target the Primordial Spirit—not completely useless, but not very effective.
Also, fire counters gold. This Golden Light Technique is fragile against fire; it will collapse when it encounters fire! So, if you et a fire-adept cultivator, it’s best not to use this spell."
Got it, weak against ntal attacks and fire.
Chen Yan nodded.
He looked at the little girl again, "Anything else?"
The little girl gave Chen Yan a look, "Haven’t you heard of ’biting off more than you can chew’? Besides, your cultivation level is too low. Plus, even though I know many spells, most require Extraordinary Tier to use.
For Mortal Cultivation Tier spells... I don’t rember many, but once you master these, and your cultivation improves, I’ll teach you more."
"Then, can you teach cultivation techniques for body refining or cultivating the Primordial Spirit?"
