The palace-dress woman looked at Qingqing with surprise and remarked, "I never expected that even though your cultivation as a ghost spirit is shallow, your discernment is quite sharp. You actually recognize the Soul-Nourishing Wood."
Qingqing felt a pang of regret as soon as the words left her lips. She had indeed been reckless, but with the log right before her eyes, she could not hide her yearning for the Soul-Nourishing Wood. Forcing herself to suppress her inner thoughts, she replied meekly, "Reporting to Senior, the soul-nourishing arts I practice mention the Soul-Nourishing Wood. It is said to soothe the soul, stabilize the spirit, and enhance divine sense. It is particularly effective for ghost cultivators looking to refine their physical forms, providing twice the result with half the effort. That is why I recognized it the moment you produced it."
The palace-dress woman uttered an "oh" and, seemingly unbothered, continued, "The Soul-Nourishing Wood does indeed have the effect of nurturing the soul. With its protection, the cold, chilling influence of your ghost body will be neutralized, and it will no longer be detrimental to Li Qiu. I shall bestow this wood upon you." With a light wave of her sleeve, the Soul-Nourishing Wood floated gracefully toward Qingqing, hovering right in front of her.
