During the following period, Gu Yi visited Tang Yuehua every few days. For reasons unknown, Tang Yuehua did not refuse and allowed Gu Yi to come to the top floor each time. Here, Gu Yi could finally find some peace, his mind gradually calming down.
Although he had already suppressed the evil power within him, it still carried a certain divinity. No matter how well he suppressed it, there would always be side effects, and his emotions would inevitably be affected.
Just like Tang San, who couldn't control his killing intent right after leaving the City of Slaughter, Gu Yi was at a similar stage and could not fully get rid of the evil power. Gu Yi felt that Tang Yuehua, with her Noble domain, was the most suitable person for his cultivation.
He even considered that she might be able to easily reach the state of harmony between man and nature. This innate advantage is something that even the strongest martial spirits cannot compare to. Additionally, Gu Yi believed that Tang Yuehua's martial spirit might not have fully mutated yet. It could potentially be an even stronger martial spirit than the Clear Sky Hammer. After all, there were very few martial spirits that were born with a domain.
On this day, Gu Yi visited Moon Pavilion again.
"You really have made this place your resting spot" Tang Yuehua said, frowning at Gu Yi, who had once again come in without invitation.
"I wouldn't dare" Gu Yi replied, casually taking a sip of tea from the table.
Tang Yuehua rolled her eyes at him. Over the past half month, their interactions had been relatively amicable.
"By the way, your spirit power is at level nine, correct?" Gu Yi asked.
"What do you mean by that?" Tang Yuehua was puzzled. The fact that she couldn't break through to level ten wasn't exactly a secret, though it wasn't widely known either. Why was Gu Yi bringing it up now? Was he trying to mock her?
From their interactions, she knew a bit about Gu Yi's strength. Despite being under sixteen years old, he had already become a Spirit Emperor. Even her extraordinarily gifted second brother couldn't have such formidable strength at Gu Yi's age. Gu Yi was undoubtedly a genius, an unparalleled genius.
However, Tang Yuehua couldn't understand why Gu Yi seemed to have so much free time. He didn't seem to be practicing diligently, unlike Tang Hao who at his age was working hard to master the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes.
"Do you also want to experience the feeling of being a Spirit Master?" Gu Yi asked, staring seriously into her eyes.
Tang Yuehua, who had longed to become a Spirit Master since she was a child but was thwarted by her own martial spirit's limitations, had never given up on cultivating. But it was to no avail. A martial spirit that had failed to mutate couldn't be cultivated at all. Even the renowned Grandmaster couldn't do anything about his martial spirit.
"What exactly do you want to say?" she replied, not wanting to play guessing games with Gu Yi.
"I can help you break through," Gu Yi said seriously, looking into her eyes.
Considering her level of cultivation, Gu Yi had thought about how Tang Yuehua's Noble domain could help him suppress the aftermath of absorbing the evil power.
However, she was still too weak now. Even with her help, it would still take a long time to suppress the consequences of absorbing evil power. Once he fused with the Evil God Bead, the evil thoughts would continuously emerge. Her current Noble domain wouldn't be able to help him suppress them. That's why he thought of helping Tang Yuehua enhance her power.
He hadn't proposed this earlier because he didn't have a way to help her before. Though inner power could enable someone without spirit power to cultivate, it couldn't help break through inherent barriers, much like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's limit at the seventy-ninth level.
However, Tang Yuehua's martial spirit was different from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Despite both having breakthrough limitations, their essence differed. So, Gu Yi planned to use his inner power to help Tang Yuehua open up her meridians, forcefully boosting her spirit power. Once she broke through level ten, further progress would be possible. And what he wanted was this possibility.
"This kind of joke is not funny. I know that you are a genius, but you shouldn't be so humiliating." Tang Yuehua was a little angry. Even though she had convinced herself in her heart over the years, this world is still the world of spirit masters after all, and it is important to be strong to earn respect.
She may seem popular and respected, but she knew that once something happened, all this respect would be lost. In this world, strength is everything.
"We've known each other for quite a while, have I ever joked with you?" Gu Yi countered.
Listening to Gu Yi's determined tone, Tang Yuehua was still skeptical. After all Gu Yi still was just a teenager, how could he possibly help her?
Over the past thousands of years, there have been many examples of people who were unable to break through due to martial arts reasons. Even the Grandmaster was unable to find a way to breakthrough
"If you can truly help me breakthrough, I'll always welcome you whenever you come," Tang Yuehua's ability to develop so well in Heaven Dou City, where there are many noble families, shows that she is not a stupid person.
What's more, Gu Yi's murderous aura and evil thoughts would show up from time to time, which made her understand that he needed her Noble domain to help suppress these murderous intentions and evil thoughts.
"Remember what you said, no matter when I come to you, you are not allowed to refuse." Tang Yuehua nodded, thinking it was a simple matter. Only later would she understand how naive she truly was. It wasn't just about giving her time but her entire self.
"Alright," Gu Yi responded, leading Tang Yuehua to his usual resting spot and having her sit cross-legged on the bed. He then sat behind her, placing his hands on her back.
"Concentrate and feel it carefully," Gu Yi instructed as he channeled his spirit power into her. Compared to his meridians, hers were very weak and fragile. He had to be extremely cautious, fearing that he might break her meridians.
No one in this world understood meridians better than Gu Yi. Helping someone open their meridians wasn't a simple task and it would even deplete his own power, similar to how masters pass on their own skills. However, Gu Yi didn't mind since he could regain his power easily.
Tang Yuehua felt a gentle, balanced spirit power flowing into her, different from the violent and evil energy she had expected from Gu Yi. Despite the killing intent she sensed from him before, the current power was peaceful and harmonious. But the murderous aura and evil thoughts coming from Gu Yi were not fake. He really was very confusing.
