After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 21 Meng Zhu
On the second day, Hu Jiu successfully drew his first talisman!
This is just the most basic speed rune, which can be attached to a magic sword or flying boat to increase its speed.

Because it's so basic, the price is very low, only ten crystals per sheet, while Hu Jiu has used more talisman paper and talisman liquid in the past two days than that.

But he was still happy, extremely happy. In his excitement, he hugged Mo Jiuwei and spun her around.

"Haha, Junior Sister Jiuwei is truly my lucky star! I have indeed succeeded in the cultivation!"

"Junior sister, would you like your senior brother to take you flying high?"

Hu Jiu smiled, looking down at Mo Jiuwei in his arms, somewhat eager to try.

No, you're being too impulsive. I'm afraid you'll throw me off.

My life is still very important; I can't die such a miserable death.

Hu Jiu felt regretful, but seeing that his junior sister was unwilling, he could only hold back, saying, "Senior brother was just saying that."

Phew...that's good.

"Senior Brother Hu, I heard you've successfully created the talisman?"

Du Yue jogged over, talking to Hu Jiu, but her eyes were fixed on Mo Jiuwei.

Waaah, she missed her beloved junior sister so much after just a few days apart!
“It was made, but there’s only one copy…” Hu Jiu realized something and quickly hugged Mo Jiuwei.

Du Yue reached out to snatch it, "Since that's the case, then quickly give my junior sister back to me!"

"I won't return it. I only made one copy. Please wait a little longer."

"No need to wait, one is enough. This means you've already mastered the method."

Mo Jiuwei felt confused.

What's going on? Why are they fighting over it?!

Why isn't anyone asking for my opinion...? Okay, I know I can't answer that myself.

In the end, the contest between the two ended with Du Yue's victory.

Du Yue hugged Mo Jiuwei contentedly, "Hehe, thank you, Senior Brother Hu, see you later."

After saying that, he grabbed the person and ran away!
Hu Jiu was both angry and amused, "This girl is really..."

Thinking about it, I really can't bear to part with Junior Sister Jiuwei.

Putting aside the fact that she could guide him, just the fact that she obediently stayed by his side and silently accompanied him, and that he would sometimes look up when he was tired of studying and meet her exquisitely beautiful face, was just wonderful!

Although they were reluctant to part ways, the three of them had agreed that they would take turns teaching whenever there was progress in their studies, and this would continue until the start of the Three Arts Flower Gate program.

This concerns the reputation of the entire Xianlai Sect. For the sake of the bigger picture, it is not advisable for one person to monopolize the junior sister.

Otherwise, I would never have gone easy on them!
In the following time, Du Yue, Meng Ling, and Hu Jiu began to practice intensively, with Mo Jiuwei following them around, taking turns to guide them.

They gradually displayed amazing talent, and with Mo Jiuwei as their "master," they made rapid progress.

On the 22nd day, Meng Ling forged a very simple flying artifact. It was simple because it had no beautiful patterns, the shape was the most basic pointed boat style, and the materials were nothing special.

Meng Ling was only trying it out, so she didn't prepare any special materials with much care.

However, this is a flying magical artifact, which is far more difficult to make than magical artifacts like daggers and longswords!

Not only her, but Hu Jiu and Du Yue are no less capable.

Hu Jiu has made a lot of basic talismans of ordinary difficulty these days. On a whim the other day, he tried to make the Flying Sand Talisman, which is one of the more difficult ones among the basic ones!
Du Yue even successfully refined a batch of relatively difficult-to-make Blood-Recovery Pills on her first try!

The people of the Immortal Sect knew that their learning progress was fast, but they never expected it to be this fast! When they saw Meng Ling's flying boat, Du Yue's blood-restoring pill, and Hu Jiu's flying sand talisman, they were all dumbfounded.

That day, Du Yue was sorting through the newly purchased medicinal herbs when Ji Qingqing ran over with a sly grin and said to her, "Yueyue, guess who came to see you outside?" "Who?"

"Hehe, who else could it be but your Brother Zhu!"

Du Yue's face flushed instantly, and she became excited. "Really?"

She put down what she was holding, lifted her skirt, and ran out.

Oh no, here comes the scumbag!

This scumbag who cheated people out of their money and sex, how dare he show his face here?

[Senior Sister Ji, hurry, take me with you! I want to go out and see!]

Ji Qingqing was taken aback, and the smile on her face froze slightly.

Oh, this... a scumbag?
Wait a minute, she remembered that Junior Sister Jiuwei did mention that Yueyue had been cheated on, but that was a long time ago. At the time, everyone thought it was absurd and no one believed it.

Could it really be true?

"Come on, let me show you Yueyue's lover."

Ji Qingqing hugged Mo Jiuwei and followed her.

Du Yue looked at Meng Zhu with longing in her eyes, "Meng Zhu, you're finally back. I've been worried about you for so long."

Meng Zhu was thin and slender, like a bamboo pole, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

He gazed at Du Yue with deep affection, "Yueyue, I can finally see you again. You have no idea how hard it has been for me these past few days."

Du Yue was both shy and happy, and couldn't help but call out "Brother Zhu".

[Hmph, what a scumbag, what a good actor!]

Of course he was suffering! He'd spent all his crystals, and of course he missed his gullible Senior Sister Yue!

[By now, he should already be a Daoist couple with Chu Xin and living together. I really don't know where he gets the nerve to come back!]

[Oh right, quite a few people outside know that the Immortal Sect has some money now. I guess this guy heard some rumors, which is why he came back specifically to scam money.]

[After all, he was dirt poor, and Chu Xin's family looked down on him, so they were eager to spend some money to put on a show.]

The fact that the Immortal Sect is wealthy is impossible to hide. After all, they were so poor before that they almost had to sell their sect. Now, they eat well, dress well, and their complexion and demeanor are impossible to lie about.

"Yueyue? What's wrong? Why do you look so pale all of a sudden?" Mengzhu asked.

Upon hearing Mo Jiuwei's words, Du Yue's feelings of shyness and joy vanished completely, leaving her stunned.

She looked at her lover and couldn't believe those words were spoken by him!
how come!
"I...it's nothing, I was just too excited, so I lost my composure," Du Yue said, trying to sound calm.

[Sigh, how can I let Senior Sister Yue know this person's true colors? Being a child is so frustrating.]

[However, this person has returned with a purpose, and it won't be long before he asks about the details of the Immortal Sect's recent fortune. He'll then feign poverty to soften Senior Sister Yue's heart and give him money as he always has.]

[Hopefully, Senior Sister Yue can figure out this person is unreliable through these clues and then dump him!]

Ji Qingqing's jaw almost dropped in shock.

I was supposed to post two updates, but I don't know if I caught it from my family or caught a chill from the air conditioning, but I'm coughing like crazy and have a migraine. I only managed to write one update while taking painkillers. The severe cough is really annoying. My voice is hoarse, and my chest and abdomen hurt a lot from coughing. It feels worse than COVID-19. And the coughing makes my migraine even more painful... I'm really fed up.

Please bear with this for now, I'll start updating twice a day as soon as possible.
