Starting As A Clan Leader: My Rules Are A Bit Wild

Chapter 84: If the Dao Endures, Wu Xingyun Breaks Through, Ling'er Wants to Return - The Letter "W"

"Senior Brother."

While Fan Jianqiang was pondering, Qiu Yongqin smiled bitterly, clasped his fists, bowed, and then said, "I have offended you before, please don't blame me."

"I only realized how fragile life is after experiencing this great change."

"Every time we meet, it could be our last."

"And everyone's aspirations are different, the purpose of cultivating immortality is also different, and what we seek is also different. It was wrong of me to demand and criticize Senior Brother based on my own thoughts."

"Hey, what you said back then was true, I've long forgotten."

"Do you remember what I said back then?" Fan Jianqiang smiled nonchalantly, "I'm not a kid, you have to protect me."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yongqin couldn't help but solemnly say, "Definitely!"

"Whether it's Senior Brother or other fellow disciples, to the best of my ability, I will certainly not sit idly by!"

Clearly, he meant it.

Interesting!

Fan Jianqiang's smile grew wider, finding it even more interesting.

How could he let his junior brother be bullied countless times? No, he had to teach him!

But he couldn't reveal his true intentions.

So...

Hmm~~~

First, he had to change his mindset!

These waste protagonist types are mostly pure-hearted and have a strong sense of justice, but it's precisely because their sense of justice is too strong that they are always being bullied.

Although the protagonist template isn't so easy to die, being bullied is still not good.

We are fellow disciples, we are junior brothers, only we can bully each other, what are the others?

"Then I'll thank Junior Brother in advance." Fan Jianqiang chuckled and then said, "By the way, Junior Brother, what is your ultimate goal in cultivating immortality?"

"Goal?" Qiu Yongqin murmured softly, "In the past, I didn't have any lofty goals, I just wanted to work hard and witness a higher scenery in the future."

"But now..."

His gaze became firm, "I want revenge!!!"

"How can I not seek revenge for such a deep enmity?!"

"It must be sought!"

Fan Jianqiang gently guided, "So, what do you think is the most important thing in seeking revenge?"

"Naturally, it's strength. Only with enough strength can one seek revenge!" Qiu Yongqin answered without hesitation.

"Wrong."

Fan Jianqiang shook his head and said seriously, "The most important thing is to stay alive!"

"Hmm?"

Qiu Yongqin was slightly stunned.

Fan Jianqiang continued, "Think about it carefully, even if you are strong, but you die before you find your enemy, what's the use?"

"Or you stand in front of your enemy, but because you make too many enemies in the process, you are hindered or even killed by other enemies in front of your enemy, then what?"

As the saying goes, there is always someone stronger. One mountain is higher than another.

You can be very strong, even stronger than most people, but can you be sure that you can sweep through the universe and suppress all enemies in the world?

How can you be sure that there won't be someone stronger than you? If someone is stronger than you, you may die before you reach your enemy!

Now, you have hatred in your heart, and your biggest goal at the moment is revenge, right?

So, in this process, should you prioritize staying alive before anything else?

"This..."

Qiu Yongqin pondered for a moment, then nodded.

This statement makes perfect sense.

If he dies, how can he seek revenge?

Even if his enemy is right in front of him, but he is powerless to take revenge and is instead killed by others, the despair...

Just imagining it made Qiu Yongqin feel suffocated.

"What Senior Brother said makes sense!"

"Of course it makes sense."

Fan Jianqiang thought to himself, "How could it not make sense?"

But this guy is also a master, he didn't tell Qiu Yongqin directly what to do, but instead guided him to realize it himself and say it out loud.

"So, what do you think you should do before seeking revenge during this period of time?"

"I should... work hard to cultivate and strive to become stronger!" Qiu Yongqin hesitated slightly, "And be cautious, stay alive, I must live longer than my enemy!"

"Correct! Anything else?"

"Anything else?"

Qiu Yongqin frowned slightly, lost in thought, "Anything else..."

"You've already said it, you should be cautious, so how should this caution be manifested?" Fan Jianqiang continued to guide without finding it troublesome.

"Just take now as an example, where are you now?"

"Sutra Pavilion?"

"Yes, Sutra Pavilion. What brings you here?"

"To select martial arts techniques, spells, and secret cultivation methods."

Question and answer.

Qiu Yongqin's response became more fluent.

"Yes!" Fan Jianqiang smiled. "So, under the premise of being cautious and staying alive, what do you think you should choose in terms of martial arts techniques, secret cultivation methods, and spells?"

"What kind of type?"

"To... to stay alive?"

"Yes, staying alive is one aspect, but that is based on the situation where the strength and number of both sides are not significantly different. If the opponent is stronger and has more people, what kind of secret cultivation methods should you practice to survive?"

"Um."

Qiu Yongqin pondered for a moment.

He was practical, but not "stupid," and quickly realized, "Escape-type secret cultivation methods?"

"Exactly!"

Fan Jianqiang praised, "That's right!"

"You can put other secret cultivation methods and spells aside for now, but survival and escape methods must not be taken lightly. Not only do you need to cultivate powerful ones, but you also need to practice them to the highest level of proficiency!"

"Only then will your chances of survival be higher when facing danger."

"Otherwise, you might die before you can seek revenge, and everything will be lost."

"What you said is absolutely right, Senior Brother!"

Qiu Yongqin pondered for a moment and realized it made sense!

It really made sense.

You can only have hope if you stay alive!

At this moment, his inner thoughts began to gradually change.

Revenge was inevitable, but in order to ensure a successful revenge, and to personally carry it out, he must stay alive!

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother!"

"Not at all, I was just casually talking. I don't know anything. Let's just chat casually. It's your own realization, what does it have to do with me?"

However, Fan Jianqiang's eyes lit up, "Anyway, we still have time, let's chat some more, shall we?!"

"Please enlighten me, Senior Brother."

Qiu Yongqin quickly clasped his fists.

Regardless of whether Fan Jianqiang was being modest or serious, what he said just now had indeed benefited him greatly!

"It's not really an enlightenment, but I just feel that what we discussed earlier is not secure enough."

"You know, although I am your Senior Brother, my strength is weak, so I always think about staying alive. But just relying on escape and survival methods, I feel it's not enough."

"What do you mean, Senior Brother?"

"Think about it, is there a possibility?" Fan Jianqiang pretended to ponder. "Can we avoid making enemies?"

"The death of cultivators is mostly caused by enemies. The remaining small part is due to fate, accidents, or being slaughtered by Evil Cultivators."

"If we don't have enemies..."

"Wouldn't it be relatively safe?"

"This?" This statement was quite absurd.

But Qiu Yongqin, who was diligent and conscientious, considered it carefully for a moment, and then hesitated, "What you said does make some sense. However, as cultivators like us, we contend with heaven, earth, people, and ourselves. We will inevitably encounter many enemies. Unless we stay in the sect all the time and never go out, otherwise, how can we not have enemies?"

"Even if we don't leave the sect, it doesn't mean we won't have enemies."

"For example, Yunxiao Valley and Spirit Sword Sect."

"If it weren't for Senior Sister Xiao Ling'er's strength, I'm afraid we would have become souls under the Spirit Sword Sect's sword."

"That's not right!"

Fan Jianqiang retorted.

"What I mean is, if Senior Sister wasn't strong enough, we wouldn't even have a chance to become souls. When Spirit Sword Sect takes action, it would be a complete annihilation of body and soul."

"Um."

Qiu Yongqin smiled bitterly, "What you said is absolutely right."

"So, wanting to have no enemies is probably just wishful thinking."

"That's true, right?" Fan Jianqiang didn't argue, but followed his words, "However, I heard that Senior Sister has a rather special disguise technique."

"She sometimes uses it to avoid exposing herself."

"So I was thinking, is it possible to minimize making enemies?"

"Can we achieve that by disguising ourselves when we go out and hiding our identities?"

"In this way, even if we make enemies, others won't be able to find us. If they can't find us, what's the difference between not having enemies? This will definitely increase our survival rate!"

"Marvelous!"

"Senior Brother, how marvelous!"

Fan Jianqiang was at a loss: "Huh? Can it be done like this?!"

"Wow! Junior Brother, you are truly clever. I didn't even think of that!"

"But... if you disguise yourself as a different person every time, wouldn't it be easy for others to find out?"

"As a completely unfamiliar person with no background or other experiences and reputation, it would be easy for others to realize that this person is fake and someone is disguising themselves."

"If they investigate further, the risk is still quite high!"

"Huh?"

Qiu Yongqin was a bit confused.

Is there such a saying?

In his opinion, disguising himself every time he goes out is already very cautious, and it can eliminate most of the dangers. But hearing what Senior Brother said, he felt that something was missing.

Then...

"It should be better than showing your true face, right?"

"And if you keep the same appearance after disguising, wouldn't it be easy for enemies from the disguise period to find you?"

"That makes sense!" Fan Jianqiang nodded. "So, you can't always disguise yourself."

"By the way, there's another problem!"

This guy seemed to have a sudden inspiration. "When you're away from home, you don't always have to do bad things and make enemies, right? You're not a cultivator of the Demon Dao. Occasionally, you should do good deeds and leave behind some favors."

"But if you do it with a fake and constantly changing identity, wouldn't those favors be wasted? People won't know who owes them."

"And it's not appropriate to do good deeds as your true self either. Doing good deeds can also make enemies!"

"That's not right either!"

"That's reasonable!"

Qiu Yongqin fell into deep thought.

This statement is flawless.

There is no problem to be found.

He himself is not a bad person, so it's not strange to occasionally do good deeds. But he doesn't think of himself as a saint either, at least he won't do good deeds without expecting anything in return...

So, this problem also needs to be solved.

The two of them stared at each other, thinking and pondering...

Fan Jianqiang was not in a hurry.

Although this guy knows everything and already knows the answer, he just won't say it!

He wants Qiu Yongqin to "realize" it himself.

As the saying goes, teaching people to fish is better than giving them fish.

If he tells him directly, he may not understand.

But if he "realizes" it himself, the impression will be much deeper.

A stick of incense quietly passed.

The two of them were still staring at each other.

Qiu Yongqin was sweating profusely.

Every time he thought about being killed before he could take revenge, he felt his heart race and cold sweat pour down.

Therefore, he urgently wanted to find the answer.

"How about... this!" Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and understood!

"I will disguise myself as two different people and travel around, leaving behind many pieces of information about these two people, as if they really exist!"

"One of them will do good deeds and occasionally appear. This way, I won't be afraid of not getting any rewards and others won't have trouble finding me!"

"The other one will be responsible for normal activities. Even if enemies are made, as long as I can disguise myself again before they find me, it won't be so easy to locate and target me."

"Great idea!" Fan Jianqiang clapped his hands in delight. "In addition to your true identity, you will play three roles: one good, one bad, and one neutral!"

"As long as the three identities are established, what the other two identities do won't lead back to your true self."

"Marvelous!"

"Junior Brother, you are as wise as a deity!"

This guy praised him, making Qiu Yongqin feel embarrassed. He could only scratch his head awkwardly and say, "It's all thanks to Senior Brother's inspiration..."

"But, what should we name these two identities?"

"I'm quite good at naming things!"

Naming is not a problem, so Fan Jianqiang didn't guide Qiu Yongqin to figure it out himself. He blurted out, "Killing and Arson Li Feiyu, Helping the Needy Han Heavenly Venerable."

"What do you think?"

"Killing and Arson Li Feiyu... Li Feiyu, that's a good name."

"As for Han Heavenly Venerable, is that name too grand? I'm afraid it won't be able to suppress it." Qiu Yongqin was a bit worried.

"Hey, Junior Brother, who would call someone Han Heavenly Venerable? Han Heavenly Venerable is just a code name or a respectful title given by those who have received your favor. Your real name should be... Han Li."

"Qiu Yongqin, Li Feiyu, Han Li, how about that?"

"Of course, it's great. There's no connection between the three names!" Guided by Fan Jianqiang, Qiu Yongqin felt countless inspirations bursting out of his mind.

"And even the 'fixed scene poem' doesn't need much thought!"

"Furthermore, in the future, we can find an opportunity to bring Li Feiyu and Han Li 'together' and let them fight each other, become enemies, and so on!"

"In this way, who would doubt that they are the same person?"

"Wonderful!"

"Junior Brother, wonderful!!!"

Fan Jianqiang clapped his hands in delight.

He felt comfortable in his heart.

Although he couldn't directly cultivate Qiu Yongqin into a survivor in one step, and he couldn't become a true survivor without his own cheat codes, becoming a person of the Survivor's Path should not be a problem, right?

Even after today, he was already a person of the Survivor's Path!

"But Junior Brother..."

"It's fine for Senior Brother to speak!"

"I just heard... "

"Senior Brother, it's fine! I've only heard that you know I have low cultivation, so there are many things I don't understand. But because I often stay in the Sutra Pavilion, I read a lot and hear a lot from others."

"I heard that some cultivators like to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger! Junior Brother, you have to be careful!"

"What does it mean to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger?"

"The so-called pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger means that some people pretend to be a pig to lure a tiger to make a move, but in fact, they are an elephant. Once the tiger makes a move, they will kill it with great force!"

"Although I've only heard about it, it is not entirely impossible. And these people are very cunning. Junior Brother, you have to be on guard!"

"Senior Brother is absolutely right!"

"Indeed, we have to be on guard!"

Qiu Yongqin's face tightened slightly.

But then, he had a flash of inspiration.

If others can pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, why can't he?

If he could hide his realm and strength with secret techniques, he could definitely be the pig in the pretending to be a pig and eat a tiger!

Ah!

Qiu Yongqin suddenly became excited. "Senior Brother, Junior Brother has gained insight again!"

"Instead of letting others lure the tiger, it's better to be the pig ourselves!"

"But Senior Brother, this is my first time in the Sutra Pavilion, and I don't know which secret techniques are useful and suitable for me. I wonder if Senior Brother can recommend some?"

Qiu Yongqin was excited but also a little anxious.

The idea was naturally great, but whether it could succeed depended on whether there were suitable spells or secret techniques.

Wonderful!

He was anxious, but Fan Jianqiang smiled.

He felt that the guidance was becoming smoother and smoother.

Obviously, although Qiu Yongqin was steadfast and diligent, he was also a very clever person. He might even have a talent for the Survivor's Path. Otherwise, how could he have understood it so quickly?!

The Survivor's Path lives on!

My path is not lonely, my path is not lonely!

As for the related secret techniques? This was not a small matter!

"Don't say anything. Although I am timid and weak, I am well aware of many secret books in the Sutra Pavilion. After all, I dare not wander around, so I can only ponder and read here."

"Junior Brother, please wait."

"I will go and fetch them for you!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Qiu Yongqin quickly stood up and thanked him.

Fan Jianqiang was also not negligent. He waved his hand and immediately busied himself with fetching various secret techniques, scriptures, and jade slips.

In no time, more than ten jade slips were placed in front of Qiu Yongqin. Fan Jianqiang spoke confidently, "Junior Brother, take a look. These are the highest-level existences in their respective categories in our Sutra Pavilion, selected based on what you just said!"

"Although you are an inner disciple, you are treated as a direct disciple, so you can learn all of these."

"This is the art of disguise."

"This is the method of disguising one's spiritual consciousness."

"This is a life-saving technique."

"This is a secret technique for explosive speed, used for escaping."

"This is the art of disguise..."

"This is a secret technique for substitution, avoiding a fatal blow at the cost of severe injury."

Fan Jianqiang was not deceiving him this time.

All the various secret techniques were the best, and even the art of disguise and concealment were things he had personally obtained! They were all good things!

Otherwise, Qiu Yongqin wouldn't know who gave them to him...

Since he was his own person of the Survivor's Path and a good seedling at that, he naturally had to be well cultivated.

Of course, there were also some of Fan Jianqiang's personal interests involved.

Creating a Han Heavenly Venerable who kills and sets fires in the Immortal Martial Continent...

It should be interesting, right?!

Definitely interesting!

Qiu Yongqin accepted these secret techniques and naturally expressed his thanks. After that, Fan Jianqiang guided him for a while, and Qiu Yongqin felt that his horizons had been greatly expanded!

Then he hurried back to cultivate.

But it was different from when he came.

When he came, he was filled with deep resentment and constantly thinking about becoming stronger and seeking revenge.

But now...

He still had deep resentment and thoughts of revenge, but before that, he had to survive!

Must persevere!

Persevere until success and revenge!

······

One month later.

The Embracing Moon Sect was relatively peaceful.

No major incidents occurred.

Lin Fan occasionally teased his disciples, but most of the time he was cultivating.

In one month's time, Liu Xinyue was the first to break through to the second stage of Condensing Essence, successfully advancing to become an inner disciple.

Of course, not all outer disciples could enter the inner sect after reaching the second stage. Some would take ten or even several decades to break through...

Naturally, Liu Xinyue's Heavenly Rank talent was there, and she broke through in just one month. Although the credit for the pill was significant, no outer disciple dared to question her entry into the inner sect.

Afterwards, Lin Fan discovered that he had gained another person to share his talents and strength with, Liu Xinyue.

"As expected, her Heavenly Rank talent is A-level, just as I guessed."

"But is it only after entering the inner sect that we can share?"

This was something he hadn't thought of before, but it wasn't a big problem.

On that day, Xiao Ling'er came out of seclusion.

Her aura was vigorous, and she had broken through once again.

To the fourth Grotto-Heaven Realm Second Layer!

Her previous injuries had long since healed, and she happily found Lin Fan and Wu Xingyun, taking out a pill.

"Elder Wu, this pill is for you. I hope it can help you recover from your injuries and let you step into a whole new world!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan nodded and smiled happily.

What is this?

This is called repaying kindness!

His investment was not wrong.

Xiao Ling'er was not ungrateful like those with the Tang surname!

But Elder Wu Xingyun was somewhat conflicted. After considering it for a while, she finally accepted the pill, took a deep breath, and said, "As an elder, I haven't been able to do anything for you. Instead, I owe you a great favor..."

"I'm ashamed!"

"But I won't say any more. We are fellow disciples, and you are my junior. If there is a crisis, us old folks will definitely stand in front of you!"

"Where are you getting these words from, Elder?"

Xiao Ling'er shook her head, somewhat displeased. "If I have achieved what I have today, how can I separate myself from the cultivation and nurturing of the sect, the master, and the elders?"

"Back then, when our Embracing Moon Sect was weak, it was the five elders who went out every day to search for the things needed for disciples to succeed in alchemy, not to mention the Heartfire of the Earth..."

"In short, Elder, please rest assured and take the pill."

"I just hope that this pill can resolve your injuries, Elder."

"You can trust your pill." Wu Xingyun also smiled.

No one wants to cultivate a white-eyed wolf.

And those who know how to repay kindness and keep others' matters in mind are naturally more loved by everyone.

Wu Xingyun took the pill!

Xiao Ling'er anxiously waited outside the Cave Mansion.

Before long, a powerful aura swept over, and Xiao Ling'er's face lit up.

"Success?!"

Boom!

The doors of the Cave Mansion opened, and Wu Xingyun walked out with a confident stride, radiant and greatly strengthened in power!

A breakthrough! The fifth Finger Mystic stage.

Originally, due to her injuries, Wu Xingyun's foundation was damaged. Even though she had already cultivated to the peak of the fourth stage, she couldn't take a single step forward and could only linger in place, enhancing her own strength through other means.

Now, she had successfully broken through, and it was clear that the healing pill had worked.

"Success!"

Wu Xingyun smiled. "Ling'er, your talent in Alchemy Dao is truly extraordinary!"

"Success is good. I can rest assured now!"

Congratulations!

Before long, the five elders gathered together.

Everyone was very happy.

Compared to others, the five elders were from the same era, so their relationship was naturally better.

Wu Xingyun's injuries had always been a thorn in their hearts.

Wu Xingyun's talent was the best among them! But because of the sect, she had suffered injuries and had been the one with the lowest cultivation until now.

Now that she had caught up, this big burden in their hearts had finally been lifted.

Lin Fan was also very happy.

This was the foundation of the sect!

Perhaps in the future, they would no longer be the highest cultivation level in the sect, but they would still be pillars of the sect!

They were capable and had strong power.

Such elders should naturally be cared for.

······

Xiao Ling'er hummed a song and returned to the alchemy pavilion, feeling very good.

Little did she know that Liang Danxia's words would instantly tighten her mood once again.

"She deceived you."

"Ah?"

"What do you mean, teacher?" Xiao Ling'er couldn't help but hold her breath.

"The pill did have some effect, but it was not significant. It only barely made up for a part of it, allowing her to advance half a step."

"However, Wu Xingyun's talent is indeed good. Originally, she should have been at the Heavenly Rank. It's just that her injuries caused her potential to decline, so..."

"And this pill allowed her to recover some and advance half a step, thus successfully breaking through to the Fifth Realm."

"Then why didn't she say anything?!" Xiao Ling'er naturally believed in her own medicine master, her face slightly pale.

"Responsibility."

"Responsibility?"

"As an elder, as a sect elder, perhaps in her eyes, her responsibility, her role, is to protect and guide you younger generations and her own talented disciples, nothing more."

"You are indeed capable of refining healing pills."

"But for her, perhaps she would rather see you refining pills for yourself, see you spend more time cultivating, improving your own realm and strength."

"Rather than wasting energy on her, this 'old fellow'."

"Besides that, I can't think of any other reason."

"Second Elder." Xiao Ling'er bit her lip, her voice choked: "Why, why like this?!"

"These kinds of pills are difficult, but I..."

"You don't need to blame yourself, or say anything more. Knowing it in your heart is enough."

The medicine master comforted, "The older generation has their responsibilities, but the younger generation naturally has their own persistence!"

"Moreover, you currently don't have the ability to refine stronger healing pills, and it's also my carelessness. I didn't expect her injuries to be so severe!"

"Seeing a glimpse of the leopard, it can be seen how much she sacrificed for the sect back then, afraid that even her essence and blood were drained."

"Such a heroine, even if I were to see her in her prime, I would still greatly admire her."

"And if you have the intention, there's no need to say much. In the future, when you have the ability, quietly refine better healing pills for her to help her recover."

"What the master said is extremely true!"

Xiao Ling'er wiped away her tears. "The master, the elders, they have noble intentions, devoting themselves to the sect."

"They don't want it, but we disciples cannot refuse!"

"Understood, that's good."

Liang Danxia smiled.

At the same time, she felt greatly relieved.

If her disciple could treat Wu Xingyun like this, how could she be any different in the future?

She would definitely not walk the same path as that beast again!

After a long time, Xiao Ling'er suddenly said, "Teacher, I want... to go back and take a look."

"..."

"That's also true."

Liang Danxia said seriously, "With your current strength, those people shouldn't be your match anymore. And now that Spirit Sword Sect has made a statement, they wouldn't dare to do anything to Embracing Moon Sect."

"But the premise is that you have to come back alive, and... defeat Sword Child of Spirit Sword Sect every year from now on."

"Disciple is confident!"

"What does the teacher think?"

Currently, Embracing Moon Sect is in a rare period of calm. Although Wu Xingyun's injuries only recovered 'a bit', she still broke through to the Fifth Realm, so Liang Danxia could temporarily rest assured.

Therefore, the fire in her heart burned fiercely.

"Of course, the teacher naturally supports you."

"However, going back like this without any weapons, you might suffer."

"For cultivators, besides their own cultivation, realm, and strength, the assistance of external objects is also important!"

"Pills and Alchemy Dao are just one of them."

"The role of Law Treasures is often even more significant and astonishing than pills."

"Therefore, I suggest that before you go back, you make more preparations."

"Being prepared is never a bad thing."

"You won't suffer."

Xiao Ling'er suddenly realized, "What the teacher said is true!"

"Disciple does need some powerful Law Treasures. In the previous battle with Sword Child, I realized that his sword technique became much more powerful when he wielded the treasure sword."

"Although I can condense weapons with Strange Fire, I can't gain much advantage."

"If I also have powerful Law Treasures and combine them with the power of Strange Fire, I will definitely be able to exert stronger combat power."

"And defensive Law Treasures that can make me safer..."

She had some ideas, but frowned, "It's just that our Embracing Moon Sect has a lot of work to do. Although we have the Weapon Refining Pavilion now, none of the elders are good at artifact refining, and I am the same."

"Could it be that I should sell some pills to buy them?"

"It's not impossible, but it's not easy to buy Law Treasures that are suitable for you." Liang Danxia spoke honestly.

"Then..."

"What should the disciple do?"

"There is a way, but it depends on whether you are willing."

"Please tell me, teacher."

Xiao Ling'er pondered for a moment and said, "Disciple is willing."

"Huo Yuner," Liang Danxia's tone was somewhat teasing.

"?!" Xiao Ling'er blushed immediately. "Master, what does this have to do with her?"

"Besides, you couldn't help yourself back then, making it difficult for me to face her again."

"So, it depends on whether you are willing or not," Liang Danxia smiled. "Besides, both of you are women, so it's not a big deal."

"As for her, don't you forget that she is the daughter of the Fire Virtue Sect's sect master and her direct disciple?"

"Although the Fire Virtue Sect is a second-rate sect, it started with artifact refining. It has its own unique approach to artifact refining. With your current level, Huo Yuner's help is already sufficient."

"After all, she is skilled in artifact refining, not alchemy."

"So, the only two questions are whether you are willing to ask her for help and whether she is willing to help."

"!!!" Xiao Ling'er pondered for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said, "Disciple will ask her for help!"

"If she is unwilling..."

"Disciple will give her more pills!"

"An exchange of goods."

Liang Danxia smiled and said nothing.

...

Fire Virtue Sect.

Huo Yuner lay on her bed, feeling quite bored.

Her pair of jade feet alternately tapped her raised buttocks.

A glimpse of her majestic bosom peeked out from her neckline, but unfortunately, no one could see it.

Her fiery red hair cascaded down, adding a touch of enchanting beauty.

"Ah."

"I wonder how much longer..."

She sighed lightly.

Just as she was about to find something to do, her eyebrows suddenly raised.

"Huh?"

"Xiao Ling'er? She actually took the initiative to find me?"

She flipped her hand and took out a sound transmission jade talisman from her storage bag, then infused it with Profound Essence to activate it.

After listening to Xiao Ling'er's message, Huo Yuner suddenly became interested. The boredom on her face disappeared, replaced by a hint of excitement.

"Oh?"

"Interesting, very interesting!"

"She actually wants to invite me to visit the Embracing Moon Sect and help her with artifact refining?"

"The payment will be in the form of pills, and she is willing to pay me thirty percent higher than the market price?"

"Hmph, if she wants to invite me, mere money is not enough. It also depends on my mood!" She responded immediately.

...

"Depends on my mood?"

Xiao Ling'er scratched her head. "So, how is your mood now?"

"It's okay."

"So, does that mean you're willing?"

"Not willing."

"!!!"

"How can you agree then?"

"You owe me another favor~!"

"If you agree, I will help you with artifact refining, and I will bring my own materials. How about that?"

An exchange of a favor for a Law Treasure?

It's hard to say whether it's a loss or a gain, but it's not too bad.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ling'er said, "Okay, I agree!"

"When can you come?"

...

"I will leave immediately!"

Huo Yuner's face lit up with joy.

Just when she was extremely bored, she suddenly had something to do, right?

Moreover, she could also visit the Embracing Moon Sect.

The once glorious Embracing Moon Sect, which could cultivate talents like Xiao Ling'er, must still be impressive. It seems like a good idea to go there to pass the time, help her with artifact refining, and earn a favor. This trip is not a loss.

No, it's a big gain!

"And~"

Suddenly, her pretty face turned red, and she gritted her teeth. "I have to seek revenge! How dare she... how dare she!!!"

"Ying~"

After a moment, Huo Yuner finally recovered, then snorted coldly. "Hmph!"

"Wait for me!"

And then.

Huo Yuner immediately packed her things and then ran to the Zongmen's Tianzi Warehouse for a thorough sweep, causing the elder in charge of guarding to be astonished and his eyebrows to twitch: "Miss!"

"Oh my, my lady, isn't this enough?"

"Oh dear, my lady..."

"Is this enough now?"

"No, it's just that if you take so much, it will be difficult for me to explain. If it's not possible, you have to tell me what you need so many materials for."

"Miss?"

"Oh, you can't take the Star Tears Gold. That belongs to the Spirit Sword Sect. We were planning to use it to forge a flying sword of the Dao weapon level for them after the seventh elder comes out of seclusion..."

"Get out of my way, don't stop me."

Huo Yuner rolled her eyes: "Uncle San, do you think I'm still a child who knows nothing?"

"Can one flying sword use such a large amount of Star Tears Gold?"

"Almost half of it is going into the pockets of our Huode Sect. What's wrong with me taking half?"

The third elder was speechless.

Sigh!

This guard is useless!

It's hard to guard against thieves in the day and night, especially this kind of thief.

Can I defend against everything, but can I defend against this young lady?

It's frustrating!!!

After a thorough sweep, Huo Yuner ran away, leaving the third elder in tears.

Afterwards, she went to beg her own father.

She was originally under house arrest.

After all, even the third Divine Child of the Feather Clan had died, and Huo Yuner was nearby at the time. When the Sect Master of Huode Sect learned about it, he was extremely worried and brought Huo Yuner back and put her under house arrest.

But now, she was clinging to his arm, acting cute and begging, and he couldn't help but give in.

Then...

Huo Yuner happily went out.

Leaving her old father feeling helpless.

"A woman's heart is unpredictable!"

He sighed and then asked, "Wu Shishu, does she have a lover?"

A voice converged into a line and entered his ears: "Sect Master, rest assured, no, Miss hasn't had much contact with other men while she's been out, she hasn't even spoken to them."

"This time she said she was going to Embracing Moon Sect to find Xiao Ling'er. Xiao Ling'er is also a woman, a pill refining genius, and her cultivation talent is extraordinary."

"Maybe she was too bored being under house arrest and went to play with her little sister."

"Then I can rest assured!"

The old father relaxed a bit. Little sister?

That's good.

At least he didn't have to worry about his daughter being taken by a pig.

After all...

They are all women, they can't do that, right?

"Wu Shu, it's a busy time now, please take good care of her!"

"Sect Master, rest assured, I will personally protect her. Miss is not someone who causes trouble, so she will be safe."

...

"Master, that's how it is."

Xiao Ling'er came to pay her respects to Lin Fan and asked him to let Huo Yuner come to Embracing Moon Sect to help her with artifact refining.

"That's fine."

Lin Fan nodded with a smile, "If I don't even allow this, wouldn't I be too heartless?"

"When she comes, just bring her in and let her stay in your alchemy tower."

"Thank you, Master."

Xiao Ling'er left.

But Lin Fan pondered, stroking his chin, "Huo Yuner personally coming to refine."

"This..."

"If she's just helping Xiao Ling'er refine, wouldn't it be a waste?"

"She came all this way, she should earn more."

"Cough."

"We should make the most of everything."

Lin Fan's mind became active.

Embracing Moon Sect is currently in a state of disrepair, after all, it's poor!

Treasures, Spirit Weapons, and the like, can't even find a few in the entire sect.

Only the five elders each have one or two for personal use.

This is such a good opportunity...

Shouldn't we make good use of it?

Thinking of this, he quickly sent a message to Xiao Ling'er: "A guest is coming, you must treat her well and not let our Embracing Moon Sect lose face."

"Remember to make her stay for a longer period of time."
