Is this the training mission that Senior Brother gave me?
"It's really tiring."
The sun was setting in the west. In front of a medicine shop that had the word 'Medicine' hanging on it, Ling 'e, who was dressed in a light blue cloth robe and had a disguised face, stretched in the afterglow of the setting sun. Her beautiful figure was reflected on the stone path that was covered in moss.
The passersby immediately looked at her kindly. A middle-aged woman carrying a bamboo basket even called out, "Miss Lan, go to my house for dinner tonight!"
"Miss Xiaolan, come to my house for dinner tonight!"
"No," Fairy declined with a smile. "I still have to prepare the herbs for tomorrow. I'm so busy that I can't get away."
Ling 'e returned to the stone house and closed the wooden door. She casually set up a few restrictions and could not help but yawn.
Lingle returned to the stone house and closed the wooden door. She casually set up a few restrictions and could not help but yawn.
At that moment, the corner of the room, the table, and the wooden cabinet were filled with paper bags. They were carefully labeled with classification and dosage.
She had changed her name to Lan Xing 'er and lived in the town for half a year as an "Apothecary".
In half a year, she had killed 99 Perfected Immortal realm demons. Among them, there were a few old demons in the Heaven Immortal realm.
Every time Ling 'e attacked, she would take advantage of the dark at night. The paper effigy would poison from afar and burn the corpses to destroy all traces. Then, she would quietly return, causing the demons there to quickly fall into panic.
Although she had only killed 99 demons with her own hands, she had scared away half of the demons there and relieved most of the pressure on Chentang Town.
Tonight, Ling 'e would get rid of the last target that she had locked onto and leave Chentang Town quietly.
In order to avoid the "awkward" situation of being sent off when she left, Ling 'e chose to leave without saying goodbye.
She had only done what she could and was sent here by her Senior Brother, so there was nothing to be thankful for.
Before coming to Chentang Town, Ling 'e had already expected that there would be a lack of medicine. Therefore, she had purchased a large number of pills that could be used by mortals in the town. In less than a month, she had used them up.
Ling 'e immediately went to the town to "replenish". However, she thought that she would not stay in Chentang Town for long. She could help for a while, but she could not help for a lifetime.
After thinking for a few days, Ling'e finally found a 'bright path'!
She used the paper effigy technique to collect many medicinal herbs and formulas in the mortal world and the town. She left those formulas for Chentang Town.
This afternoon, Ling'E took out some of the Spirit Stones that Ao Yi had given her and entrusted them to a few trusted elders in Chentang Town.
The reason why she did not leave all the spirit stones here was because she was afraid that this batch of spirit stones would bring disaster to Chentang Town. When Ling'e was considering this matter, she had already done her best.
"We're leaving."
Ling 'e's slender fingers stroked the edge of the wooden table, and her eyes revealed some emotions.
It was as if he could see those children playing in front of the table, and those injured people whose eyes were filled with numbness, revealing a warm smile once again …
She also saw the mortal soldiers fighting against the demon beasts, and the weak women who put down their hoes and picked up their spears.
Immortal cultivation paid attention to one's potential. Not everyone could do it. Therefore, Ling'e could read their desire for power in the eyes of the middle-aged men and women who were guarding the place.
Her immortal senses scanned hundreds of kilometers in the southwest direction. There was a large city there. The mortals in it lived in peace and contentment, and the nobles lived a drunken life. It was a stark contrast to Chentang Town.
Ling'e had also asked the elders there why the mortals of Chentang Town did not abandon this place and retreat inland.
The elder answered, "That's the ancestral teachings."
If we retreat, the demons will chase after us. That way, more people will die. More demons will hear the news and come. Can mortals outrun those demonic beasts? They definitely can't outrun them. That would be terrible.
Ling'e did not continue asking. After returning to her residence, she thought for a long time. Her Dao heart was perfected.
"This is probably the deeper meaning behind Senior Brother asking me to come here."
She picked up her brush and wrote a letter. Ling'e read it carefully and went to the small courtyard behind the house to take a look.
In the past half a year, apart from witnessing how the mortals there fought the demons, she had also encountered many interesting things.
What made Ling'e not know whether to laugh or cry was that when she was active in the town, she used a mask to cover her face. She also displayed her cultivation level as the Essence Immortal realm, which was relatively weak. She made herself look very ordinary.
However, in the past six months, she still received confessions from six men.
Ling 'e found it strange that she had thought that there would be some ripples in her Dao heart and a crack would appear.
However, every time she was confessed to, Ling'e would be extremely calm. She would lay out the facts and reason with the other party. She would say that she already had someone she liked and that she was now training outside for the sake of cultivation. She would also encourage them to find their own happiness.
When she came back to her senses and thought about it carefully, she realized that her heart had long been filled by her senior brother. She could not tolerate any traces of others.
"Stupid Senior Brother, you insisted on making me train outside for three years."
Ling'e muttered and used the Earth Escape technique. She quietly left the place and headed towards the East Ocean.
When she was far away from Chentang Town and found a secluded place to hide, she activated the paper effigy that was 500 kilometers away. She injected the Heaven Immortal poison into a Heaven Immortal realm demonic beast that had already fainted.
After dealing with the corpse and collecting the remnant soul, the paper effigy burned itself underground.
Ling'e took out the jade token that her senior brother had given her and took a deep breath.
I don't want it to be a time-consuming mission. I don't want it to be a time-consuming mission. I don't want it to be a time-consuming mission!
Ling'e muttered in her heart three times. She opened her eyes and looked inside.
Eh?
Why is there no change?
Ling'e tilted her head. Could it be that there are some demons that I have killed who are just there to make up the numbers? Or do I need my main body to kill a hundred Perfected Immortal realm demons? However, it would be too unsafe to rashly use my main body …
"Ahem!"
There was a sudden commotion beside her. Ling'e burrowed into the ground with a whoosh and escaped thousands of feet away.
However, she quickly stopped and sized up the figure that she had been standing at with her immortal senses.
"Senior Brother?"
"It's me," Li Changshou answered calmly.
"Huh?"
Ling'e sent a voice transmission. "I don't believe you. How can you prove it?"
Li Changshou said, "Someone bathes twelve times a day. When he was 13 years old, he was bitten by a snake on his ankle and cried for six hours. At the age of 17, he learned to sew some soft cloth in his inner shirt …"
"Senior Brother!"
Ling'e shouted crisply and floated out of the ground. She jumped back with her hands behind her back and giggled.
"Mission completed! Can I return to the mountain now!?! "
"This is only the first human." Li Changshou grabbed the jade token in her hand and erased the line of words on it. He revealed the second line of small words and changed some of the content.
Ling'e could not help but lower her head and hold her forehead.
She had actually written it directly!
Li Changshou stuffed the jade token back into Ling'e's palm and smiled.
"I originally wanted to knock you out before writing the second one. Seeing that you performed well this time and completed the first stage of the trial outstandingly, I skipped this segment.
How is it? How's your harvest in the past six months? "
Ling'e pursed her lips and chuckled. She took off the mask on her face and removed her disguise. With her hands behind her back, she circled Li Changshou twice and giggled non-stop. Her eyes were almost blooming.
"Senior Brother, there are six people who want to become Dao companions with me. Six."
Li Changshou flicked his finger and accurately hit Ling'e's head. The pain made Ling'e cover her forehead and almost cry.
"If anyone takes a fancy to you, I can go and look for the Moon God to help you. How about that?"
"Stupid Senior Brother, I was just joking." Ling'e grumbled and muttered softly, "I still want to stay by Senior Brother's side. Senior Brother, just don't chase me away."
Li Changshou smiled warmly and said seriously, "The second trial is a little dangerous. Remember not to force yourself.
If you complete the three trials in advance, you can return to the sect early if you don't want to be outside. "
"What trial?"
Ling'e lowered her head to look at the jade token in her hand. When she saw the line of small words, she could not help but be shocked. She hurriedly raised her head, but there was no one in front of her. Li Changshou was nowhere to be seen.
It was as if her senior brother had never appeared, causing Ling'e to think that it was a dream.
Looking at the jade token in her hand again, Ling'e frowned.
"Follow this map and find an island. Under the premise of not exposing your whereabouts, rescue Youqin Genya, who is trapped because of the demon slaying."
"Senior Sister Youqin, why …"
Ling'e did not dare to stay for long. She hurriedly escaped and entered the East Ocean. She followed the map in the jade token and rushed to the deserted island.
Not far behind Ling'e, the paper effigy army continued to follow.
In fact, what Ling'e did not know was that the reason why the demons were in a panic during the half-year trial was mainly because the strongest old demons in the Gold God realm had disappeared overnight.
…
"Ha, yawn."
In the backyard of the Tushita Palace, Master Xuandu, who was under the tree, forced himself to focus and looked at the two images on the cloud mirror in front of him.
On the left, Ling'e was shuttling quickly at the bottom of the sea. On the right, Li Changshou and Bai Ze were beside the pool, writing something on the table.
The Great Daoist Master was supervising the entire process. Naturally, he knew that his junior brother and Bai Ze had been discussing for the past six months and had come up with a plan to suppress the demons.
The plan was rather complicated. It had to be carried out in a few steps. He had to use the destiny of the human race, the merit of the Human Emperor, and the Heavenly rules of the Celestial Court to prevent the immortal sects of the Middle Continent from controlling the mortal factions of the South Continent.
"Chang Geng, where did all these strange ideas come from?"
The Great Daoist Master muttered to himself in the cloud mirror and laughed.
He raised his finger and flicked it gently. The image in the cloud mirror changed, and the image on the right changed to a deserted island.
On the deserted island, a few young men and women were tied to stone pillars. Youqin Genya was among them.
Youqin Genya's hands were tied by the immortal rope and she was raised above her head. She hung in midair.
The aura on her body was very weak, but she would look around from time to time. The realm she revealed was only at the mid-stage of the Perfected Immortal realm.
There were black shadows hiding in the seawater of the deserted island. Demonic aura and immortal power were mixed, as if they were waiting for someone to rescue them.
The Great Daoist Master smiled calmly and perked up, waiting for a good show to start.
Half a day later, Ling 'e arrived at the nearby sea without stopping.
Her immortal senses locked onto the deserted island where Youqin Genya was. She hid hundreds of kilometers away and did not dare to go forward. She transformed into a fish and mixed in the school of fish, carefully thinking of a solution.
"Is Senior Sister Youqin acting with Senior Brother?"
It must be.
Senior Sister Youqin was being paid attention to in the sect. It was impossible for the sect to not react after she was captured.
Moreover …
Ling 'e looked at Youqin Genya's tattered dress with her immortal senses and frowned slightly.
After spending half a year in the mortal world, what had she not seen?!
With Senior Sister Youqin's looks, how could she be so peaceful after being captured!?!
There are many bad people in the world.
Most importantly!
This place is only 5,000 kilometers away from the East Ocean Crystal Palace. If anything happens, the experts of the Dragons will definitely rush over in time. It is completely in line with Senior Brother's personality!
Isn't the stage that Senior Brother set up a little too crude?
Ling 'e pondered for a while and had an idea. She would carefully investigate the surroundings of the deserted island and figure out the background of the "powerful enemy".
As her senior brother did not give her a time limit, Ling 'e was not in a hurry to attack. She wanted to give a satisfactory answer to the trial.
Hence, a day later.
Ling 'e used a diversion tactic. She first used a paper effigy to pretend to pass by and float in the air near the deserted island to attract the other party's attention.
She used Water Escape and circled around the bottom of the sea before arriving at the edge of the deserted island.
There were no restrictions in that place, which made Ling 'e smile secretly.
However, Ling 'e's Dao heart was filled with vigilance. Her figure hid in the crack of the stone and did not move, in case she fell into her senior brother's trap.
After waiting for an hour, she secretly used Earth Escape and touched Youqin Genya's vicinity. However, the reef in front of her was extremely sturdy. Earth Escape could not penetrate it.
A small-scale Five-Element Reversal Array!
Doesn't setting up an array formation cost Spirit Stones? It's fine if it's just a trial.
Ling 'e complained in her heart. She observed quietly for a while before turning into a wisp of smoke and disappearing …
After a while, a small butterfly flapped its wings and landed on Youqin Genya's back. It used her long hair to cover itself.
Ling 'e's voice was hoarse as she shouted,
"Fairy Youqin! Fairy Youqin! "
"Huh?" Youqin Genya's body trembled slightly as she muttered in a weak voice, "Who …"
"I … Mingjia, I'm familiar with your master. I passed by this place today and saw that you were trapped. I came to save you."
Ling 'e continued, "Later, I'll untie the immortal rope for you. Fairy, charge 300 feet to the left. I can bring you away with an escape technique!"
"Thank you, Senior!"
"It's a small matter."
Ling 'e, who had transformed into a butterfly, flapped her wings gently, and the immortal rope was untied on its own.
Youqin Genya's raised hands drooped down. However, her immortal power was too weak and she could not circulate it smoothly. She immediately fell forward and prostrated on the ground.
What a realistic acting …
Ling 'e, who had transformed into a small butterfly, was shocked. She immediately wrapped a layer of immortal power around Youqin Genya.
At this moment!
Amidst the thunder, the sea around the deserted island exploded into water pillars. Dozens of black shadows soared into the sky, holding weapons that shone with cold light in their hands. There were already dozens of streams of light smashing towards Youqin Genya!
Ling 'e was anxious and immediately wanted to forcefully fly into the sky with Youqin Genya. However, before Ling' e could move, Youqin Genya's body suddenly surged with golden light. A golden pillar of light connected the sky and the sea!
In the golden light, Youqin Genya spread her arms and quickly floated up. She closed her eyes and raised her head. Her long hair fluttered behind her, and her beautiful face was actually so holy.
"Alright, stop!"
A shout came from the side, and the golden light slowly dissipated. The black shadows that were originally charging over with a menacing aura also fell to the ground and closed their eyes.
Paper … paper effigy?
Ling 'e, who had transformed into a butterfly, was completely engulfed by the shadows. She was a little stunned and could not recover for a long time.
What is going on …
Youqin Genya took a deep breath and Li Changshou's Gold God realm paper effigy flew over from afar. He held a Shadow-Retaining Ball in his hand and smiled.
"Not bad this time. I passed it in one go."
Youqin Genya heaved a long sigh of relief when she heard that. Her eyes were filled with light. She asked softly, "Senior Brother, where are we going next?"
"There's no hurry. Let's rest for a few days first." Li Changshou cleared his throat. "Fake Daoist, why aren't you appearing?"
Youqin Genya looked behind her. The butterfly was accompanied by rays of immortal light and transformed into Ling 'e's figure. Her face and Dao runes were still disguised.
Ling 'e blinked. "Senior Brother, is this the second trial?"
"That's right," Li Changshou said warmly. "Your performance this time … completely failed.
Repeat the Steadiness Sutra six thousand times. Make up for it when you return to the mountain. "
"How can that be … I'm not convinced! I've completed the mission to save Senior Sister Youqin! "
"Have you ever seen a butterfly on a deserted island?"
Li Changshou's incarnation widened his eyes and pointed around with his hand. He cursed, "There's a blade of grass here. I'll consider it as a pass!"
"This …"
Ling 'e immediately looked aggrieved. Youqin Genya could not maintain her cold expression. She pulled Ling' e to cover her mouth and chuckled.
"Senior Brother, why are you doing this?" Ling 'e asked in puzzlement.
"Send a voice transmission.
I will spread the images in the Shadow-Retaining Ball throughout the Primordial World. I will make your Senior Sister Youqin famous and attract more talents and righteous people to join the Celestial Court. "
"Although I don't know what's going on, I feel that it's very impressive. Then, where is the Five Village Temple that I'm going to for the third trial?
The earlier I finish it, the earlier I can return to the mountain! "
"This is the real trial for you to go down the mountain this time. It's an expert's Dao field.
You have to find out where this place is. Find this place and meet the owner of the temple … "
"Senior Brother, do you not know where this place is?"
"You want to repeat it another six thousand times?"
"Senior Brother, why don't you declare me to have lost? I can return to the mountain to copy the sutras."
"Then increase it tenfold."
"Sorry to disturb you. I'll go look for the Five Village Temple …"
Under the tree in the backyard of the Tushita Palace.
Master Xuandu listened to the conversation from the Taiji Painting and smiled like an "uncle-in-law".
"If Changshou's Three Stars Surrounding the Moon can form a marriage, it would be lively … Huh?"
The Great Daoist Master suddenly frowned. The Taiji Painting trembled slightly, and he understood something.
"Why are they causing trouble at this time … Have these fellows also sensed that a great calamity is about to descend in the Primordial World?"
With a few mutters, the Great Daoist Master's figure disappeared.
After a while, a stream of light seemed to have pierced through the universe and quickly disappeared into the horizon …
