Chapter 88: Logging In for Help

“Trail Seeking Mouse, stay here and call me immediately if someone triggers the formation,” Yun Xi instructed calmly.

“Yes, Master!” the little mouse squeaked obediently. Seeing Yun Xi stable and composed, its tiny, anxiously beating heart gradually calmed down.

Feeling generous, Yun Xi added, “You can take a milk fruit as a reward.”

Trail Seeking Mouse eagerly rubbed its tiny paws together, squinting its small black-bean eyes in gratitude: “Thank you, Master.” It then happily grabbed a milk fruit, settled down beside Yun Xi, perked up its small ears to listen for disturbances, and started nibbling the fragrant, sweet fruit. It had never tasted something this delicious, and the aroma made its tiny mouth water uncontrollably.

With the mouse happily occupied, Yun Xi projected her divine sense into the wooden plaque’s space and immediately sent a distress message to the chat group:

Passing Clouds: Everyone, seniors, help! My physical body is about to collapse—what should I do?

The chat group flashed briefly, and replies soon flooded in.

Drifting with Immortal Grace: Little Yun, what on earth happened? How did your body end up collapsing?

Star Trek: Haven’t you been steadily advancing your cultivation lately? Did something go wrong with your technique?

Tribe Warrior: Little Yun, you’ve eaten so many milk fruits—your physique should nearly match an adult beastman’s. You shouldn’t be this fragile.

Ox Head and Horse Face: Yun Xi, if it comes down to it, you can always become a ghost cultivator. Surviving is what matters most.

Survival is Truth: Did someone ambush you?

Quickly scanning their messages, Yun Xi replied truthfully:

“I found a suitable cultivation method during my travels, but unfortunately, its owner tried to possess me. Thankfully, the immortal artifact gifted by Senior Drifting with Immortal Grace protected me, and in the end, I managed to devour his soul.”

“However, he was an Integration-stage cultivator before his fall. Although his soul weakened over a thousand years to the Divine Transformation stage, it’s still far beyond what my Foundation Establishment body can handle. If it weren’t for the milk fruits I’ve consumed over the past five years, my body would have shattered instantly.”

“Just now, I had to consume ten more milk fruits in a row to barely stabilize myself, and then I immediately reached out for help.”

Yun Xi sighed inwardly at her own rotten luck.

Drifting with Immortal Grace: What technique could possibly be worth your life? I have plenty of immortal-level cultivation manuals—why didn’t you ask me?

Passing Clouds: I had nothing valuable enough to exchange with you, Senior, so I found one myself. This technique is truly perfect for me.

Star Trek: Little Yun, your spiritual power has obviously far exceeded your physical strength—this imbalance is causing your body to break apart. In our star civilization, we have psychic inhibitors that can temporarily suppress your overwhelming spiritual force. However, it’s only temporary. You’ll need to practice our interstellar body-tempering method to strengthen yourself enough to support your spiritual strength.

Yun Xi’s eyes lit up with hope, and she immediately replied: “Senior, can I exchange spirit stones and pills for your psychic inhibitor and body-tempering method?”

Star Trek: I’ll send over a testing capsule first. We need to measure your psychic and physical strength to determine which level of inhibitors and technique is most suitable.

Passing Clouds: Understood. I’ll send you samples of my available spirit stones and pills. Please let me know which items you prefer for exchange.

Yun Xi replied as fast as she could—there was no time for hesitation.

Star Trek: Alright.

Moments later, a notification appeared: Star Trek has teleported items to Passing Clouds. Accepting promptly, Yun Xi saw a silver capsule-shaped testing chamber appear in her space.

Quickly withdrawing her divine sense, she brought the silver testing capsule out into the physical world.

Trail Seeking Mouse was nibbling on its milk fruit when the capsule suddenly appeared out of thin air, frightening its fur upright. In panic, it squeaked urgently, “Master! Master!”

“It’s alright. It’s my item,” Yun Xi immediately reassured it through telepathy. She then used Object Control to lift herself gently into the testing capsule.

As the capsule lid sealed shut, a mechanical voice spoke clearly: “Psychic strength assessment commencing. Please remain conscious.”

A moment later, Yun Xi felt a small electric current buzz through her brain, shaking her sea of consciousness briefly before settling again.

“Assessment complete. Your psychic strength is at Level S—upper-class aptitude. Your physical strength is Level B—mid-level aptitude. It is recommended you immediately begin psychic cultivation. Considering your age, your psychic strength has room to grow. Please practice in conjunction with integration-level methods.”

Just as Yun Xi processed the information, a sudden alarm blared:

“Warning! Warning! Psychic strength exceeds physical strength significantly. Bodily damage detected. Please administer a psychic inhibitor immediately and repair physical injuries.”

Breathing out slowly, Yun Xi moved herself and the testing capsule back into her space, quickly sending the capsule back to Star Trek using her divine sense.

After Star Trek accepted it, he immediately reacted with a shocked emoji in the chat group, followed by a message:

“Little Yun, you’re unexpectedly young—barely a fraction of my age! I’ll send you an emergency dose of a psychic inhibitor and a body repair solution first. Stabilize yourself before anything else.”

Yun Xi responded gratefully, feeling relief wash over her as she narrowly escaped disaster.

Meanwhile, the chat group was buzzing with activity. Everyone speculated about Yun Xi’s age and her condition, but Yun Xi had no energy left to care. Immediately receiving the two vials sent by Star Trek—one silver and one lake-green—she swiftly read their instructions.

The silver vial was the psychic inhibitor, and Yun Xi drank it first. The medicine quickly dissolved into a gentle stream of pure energy, soothing her violently surging mental force. Slowly, the chaotic psychic masses, previously each as large as duck eggs, compressed into stable shapes the size of goose eggs.

As her psychic force settled, the tearing pain in Yun Xi’s body noticeably eased, proving the medication effective. She released a deep breath of relief.

The green-colored body-repair solution was half for oral intake and half for soaking. Leaving a quick message for Star Trek, Yun Xi swiftly exited the space again.

Trail Seeking Mouse watched dumbly as its master vanished and reappeared repeatedly, only settling down again when it sensed Yun Xi’s aura had stabilized. Thanks to their soul contract, the poor mouse had vividly experienced the terrifying feeling of impending death—truly a near-fatal scare for the tiny spirit mouse.

Taking out her bathtub from her storage ring, Yun Xi quickly filled it with water using hand seals, poured half the green solution into the bath, and leaped inside. Tilting her head back, she drank the remaining half, sat cross-legged in the tub, and began sensing her body gradually repairing itself.

Slowly, as Yun Xi absorbed the green medicinal liquid, the water turned clear again. The agonizing tearing sensation gradually faded away.

An hour later, Yun Xi opened her eyes, exhaling softly in relief, murmuring:

“Finally, I survived!”

Climbing out of the bathtub carefully, she suddenly felt a strange pull. Instantly, all the surrounding spiritual energy surged toward her, rapidly pouring into her body.
