Mr. Lin, congrats. I saw your ceremony went pretty well, just lacking a bit of flair. We at the Android Sect specialize in celebratory blessing videos for all occasions. Fair prices, no tricks. For 18.8 Spirit Stones, we can shoot one for you in 8K HD. How about it?

Heh, the guy above is just offering standard Android service. Mr. Lin, a truly grand occasion requires Apple’s style. A product from the Apple Sect is a guarantee of quality. For three thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, we’ll create a custom Apple blessing video for you, complete with full CG effects. We guarantee it will be brimming with immortal energy and natural Dao charm. We can even throw in multiple "Aiyahs," what do you say?

The forums erupted into a chaotic mess. The Dawa Sect’s leader, "Wa Wei X Feng," was frantically trying to clear things up in the thread, stating that they only recognized Su Ling’er and vehemently denying any talk of his sect "submitting" to anyone.
However, other sects jumped in to fan the flames, taunting him with comments like, "Greetings, brothers from the subordinate sect!" and "This isn’t another one of GO-senpai’s schemes, is it?" This enraged him, making him cry out in frustration.
Meanwhile, the Original Criticism Sect, another gathering place for eccentric characters, was kicking him while he was down. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Lin Qingfeng watched this lively scene unfold, his mood soaring.
He leisurely scrolled to the end of the thread and replied to the two sect leaders who had come to advertise.

Thank you for your concern, fellow cultivators. As for the blessing video, we will make our own arrangements when our sect truly steps out from behind its mountain gates and into the wider Cultivation World. [@Apple Phone][@Android Community]
After replying, he closed the forum, satisfied, and logged off.

After Wang Xiedi’s lengthy explanation, Su Ling’er verbally accepted his story, admitting she might have truly misunderstood.
Of course, while she believed Wang Xiedi wasn’t a spy for the Dawa Sect, she still felt something was off about him. ’After all, how could things be so coincidental?’
’He must be trying to cover his tracks!’
She even felt that the only difference between Wang Xiedi and those people from the Dawa Sect was the gleaming Heart-Protecting Mirror still hanging on his chest!
For the next few days, a brief period of calm returned to the wilderness in the heart of the Guixi Sect’s territory.
That grand, spectacular family reunion ceremony seemed like nothing more than a fleeting dream.
Of course, aside from further solidifying Wang Xiedi’s reputation as the sect’s "weirdo," it didn’t have much of an impact on their daily lives.
Su Ling’er continued her daily routine, traveling back and forth between the Transmission Hall, the Hundred Herbs Valley, and the Demon-Locking Tower.
Relying on her Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, she efficiently completed the sect’s missions, which, in her eyes, were completely meaningless.
Now, however, whenever she saw the Spirit Beast Garden and the Beast Taming House situated within it, a heavy, determined look would enter her eyes.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiedi was engrossed in the cultivation technique that had been tailor-made for him—the Ten Thousand Forms Red Dust Scripture.
It made him feel as if the bottleneck in his cultivation, which had been stagnant for what felt like ten thousand years, was finally starting to loosen. His cultivation began to slowly increase, which delighted him.
Moreover, according to his First Senior Brother, if he cultivated this technique to its later stages, it seemed he could even forge a new path and achieve a unique form of Foundation Establishment.
Regardless, this was far better than the hopeless future he had faced back at Qingxu Temple.
To be honest, he was both terrified of this sect and yet held a faint sliver of hope for it.
But... the Guixi Sect was genuinely terrifying.
Although he sometimes felt a twinge of guilt toward the First Senior Brother who had gone out of his way to find a cultivation technique for him, the fact remained... the people who died to forge swords were real, and those who died were truly dead.
Whenever the night was deep and still, he would sit cross-legged, facing the Spirit Beast Garden, and visualize that emerald figure.
’It’s a sentient being. I have to take responsibility. I have to at least rescue it from this den of demons!’
He imagined the scene after he played the hero saving the damsel in distress: the mantis’s face, overcome with tearful gratitude. And no matter what, he would have a spirit beast companion for his future trials. He would have fulfilled his responsibility and lived up to his grandfather’s teachings!
Although his cultivation was not high, the Red Dust Scripture had some clever uses even at the introductory level. He was sure they would come in handy for infiltrating the Beast Taming House in the future.
Over the past few days, as the two of them went back and forth on their missions, they both noticed that a new building had appeared in the sect, though they didn’t know when it had been built.
The building was called the "Yin Spirit Institute," but they had no idea what it was for.
’Yin spirits?’
’What are these Demon Cultivators doing with a Yin Spirit Institute?’
’You’ve murdered countless people outside, and you’ve killed countless people inside the sect. Is this where you’ve buried all the wronged souls?’
’You even built a special Yin Spirit Institute for them?’ freewebnoveℓ.com
’Truly the work of demonic Evil Cultivators. How terrifying!’
Su Ling’er tried to get closer, but Mr. Qian would always appear to block her way. He didn’t ask for anything; he simply wouldn’t let her enter.
Since that was the case, she didn’t insist.
After all, the "Heart-Connected Fruit" in the Beast Taming House, which might not have been eaten yet, was far more important.
Everything was ready; they were only waiting for the right moment.
On another dark and windy night, the two met under the ancient tree they had agreed upon.
"We can’t wait any longer."
Su Ling’er got straight to the point.
"Every day the ’Heart-Connected Fruit’ remains in the Beast Taming House is another day of danger for the righteous sects, and one less chance for us to be rescued."
"We have to find a way to get it back as soon as possible."
Wang Xiedi nodded gravely. "You’re right, Senior Sister. I’m ready! I’ve gotten the hang of the Ten Thousand Forms Red Dust Scripture, so it should be useful!"
"But how do we get into the Beast Taming House?"
Wang Xiedi asked the crucial question.
"Besides, First Senior Brother is always coming to monitor you. How can we possibly..."
Su Ling’er cut him off. "First Senior Brother is monitoring me, not you. That actually makes you more likely to be able to slip in and do something. And we probably don’t have much time. We don’t know when that fruit will finish maturing. If we’re too late, it’ll all be for nothing."
Her mind flashed back to the "Family Reunion Ceremony," when First Senior Brother had called her the "Holy Daughter of the Sect," and to when he had previously referred to her as the "Sect’s Guide."
’Why am I—an undercover agent with terrible talent and extremely low cultivation—so important to this demon sect?’ she wondered.
’Why is that?’
She couldn’t figure it out. It was something she had puzzled over endlessly.
’There are so many people in the sect who are more outstanding than me. Why me, of all people?’
...
「Meanwhile, at Qingxu Temple.」
The treasury of Qingxu Temple was long empty, and the agents sent to spy on other sects had all been executed. They had nothing of value that could possibly tempt the Celestial Furnace Sect.
His gaze subconsciously turned eastward again, toward that land where death and life coexisted, the one he had glimpsed at the cost of a sixty-year cycle of his lifespan.
The Guixi Sect!
’If only I could bring back some valuable intelligence or a cultivation technique... That place might still hold some hope.’
