Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Is Chapter 330 related to his fall into demonic possession?

After Shen Youqing and the other two had breakfast, Lin Jinran came over.

After learning from Shen Youqing that the Yue family patriarch had a solution, Lin Jinran breathed a sigh of relief and was genuinely happy for her.

"As long as the Yue family patriarch has a solution." After saying this, Lin Jinran gave a few simple instructions and left.

His senior sister was pressing him urgently, so he couldn't delay any longer.

After seeing Lin Jinran off, Shen Youqing returned and saw Shen Quelin and Xiao Ke drinking tea at a stone table under the shade of a tree.

Shen Youqing sat down, accepted the tea Xiao Ke offered, thanked him, and then asked, "Senior brother, how much do you know about Zhao Lingxi?"

“Zhao Lingxi?” Shen Quelin looked at Shen Youqing with some surprise. “I thought you cared more about Shen Qiuluo.”

Shen Youqing couldn't help but roll her eyes and said speechlessly, "Why should I care about her?"

Shen Qiuluo's mess is obvious to anyone with a brain; worrying about her mess is a waste of time.

After the brother and sister exchanged a few words, Xiao Ke pondered for a moment and then said, "It's neither too much nor too little."

Under Shen Youqing's gaze, Xiao Ke said slowly, "Zhao Lingxi and Sect Master Zhang are from the same school. In their era, Zhao Lingxi was a physician who was even more outstanding than Venerable Lin."

Shen Quelin looked surprised.

So this is Zhao Lingxi's background?
Master Lin is known as the foremost alchemist and physician of our time.

That Zhao Lingxi is actually more outstanding than Venerable Lin?
If Zhao Lingxi hadn't fallen to demonic possession, with his talent alone, he would definitely have become a renowned elder of the Qingyu Sect, or even the master of a peak.

Pity.

“Zhao Lingxi’s talent is even better than Venerable Lin’s, but there’s a saying that extreme intelligence can be harmful.” A clear voice slowly rang out.

Shen Youqing lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea. "Is it related to his fall from grace?"

Xiao Ke shook his head. "I don't know about that, but he once had a Daoist partner. After his partner died, he disappeared without a trace."

Although it wasn't explicitly stated in the message, he felt that Zhao Lingxi's fall into demonic possession was inextricably linked to the death of his Daoist partner.

Shen Youqing held the teacup, rubbing it with his fingertips.

Is this a result of being tormented by love leading to demonic possession?

Zhao Lingxi doesn't seem like the type to be sentimental. Could he be a romantic at heart?

Xiao Ke continued, "His Daoist partner was not some extraordinary genius, but an ordinary cultivator."

Shen Quelin put down his teacup and asked with great interest, "An ordinary cultivator? How ordinary?"

"Rogue cultivator."

The two light, airy words carved on the flute plunged Shen Quelin into silence.

It is indeed... ordinary.

“That senior had ordinary talent, ordinary cultivation, and ordinary appearance,” Xiao Ke said thoughtfully. “But Zhao Lingxi is a well-known handsome man in the records.”

Thinking of Zhao Lingxi's appearance, Shen Youqing nodded slightly and confirmed, "Zhao Lingxi is indeed quite handsome."

"Then what is he after?" Shen Quelin couldn't figure it out, no matter how hard he tried.

Shen Youqing shrugged, indicating that he didn't know.

Shen Quelin looked at Xiao Ke and asked, "How did his Daoist partner die?"

Could it be that the Qingyu Sect is trying to break up this loving couple?

That shouldn't be possible.

"He died peacefully in his sleep." Xiao Ke uttered these four words softly.

?

It's no exaggeration to say that Shen Quelin and Shen Youqing were momentarily stunned when Xiao Ke finished speaking.

Died peacefully in his sleep?

What a rare and wonderful word this is in the world of cultivation!
"The lifespan of a Qi Refining cultivator is one hundred years, a Foundation Establishment cultivator has a lifespan of around two hundred years, and a Golden Core cultivator has a lifespan of around five hundred years." Shen Quelin paused, trying to phrase his words tactfully, "Could it be that that senior hasn't reached the Golden Core stage yet?"

Before Xiao Ke could speak, Shen Youqing reminded him, "Have you forgotten about the life-extending pills?"

Shen Quelin suddenly realized, and then pondered before speaking, "How could a direct disciple of the Qingyu Sect lack pills? Even if that senior's talent was poor, two bottles of Marrow Cleansing Pills could have transformed him, right?" Xiao Ke took a sip of tea and slowly said, "That senior had mixed spiritual roots."

"..."

The wind blew, and the courtyard was deathly silent.

What is the concept of mixed spiritual roots?
Simply put, this is not much different from having no spiritual root.

From a certain perspective, Zhao Lingxi has a unique vision, after all, mixed spiritual roots are quite rare.

"Her cultivation level was at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage before she died." After saying this, Xiao Ke added, "It was all thanks to the pills she used."

"..." Shen Quelin opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, only his expression was extremely complicated.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the courtyard gate. The three of them turned around and saw Chu Jianyan and the Lin Jinyao sisters standing outside the gate.

Shen Youqing opened the barrier, and the three of them walked in.

"Three senior sisters, please come and sit down," Shen Youqing said with a smile.

The three walked over, and looking at the teacups in front of them, Lin Youran sat down and gently asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Zhao Lingxi," Shen Youqing said simply.

Shen Quelin carried the teapot and poured tea for the three of them.

"Before Uncle Lin left, I asked him about these pills. They're beneficial for Junior Sister Youqing's recovery." Chu Jianyan waved her hand, and a pile of bottles and jars appeared on the table.

Lin Jinyao's eyes widened slightly, and then she felt that her few bottles of pills were a bit embarrassing to present.

"This is too much!" Shen Youqing waved her hand. "Senior Sister Chu, I can't accept this!"

"Hurry up and accept it." Chu Jianyan gave her a reproachful look. "If you refuse again, I'll get angry."

"Fine, then I'll shamelessly take them all!" Shen Youqing slapped away Shen Quelin's sneaky hand and then put away all the porcelain bottles.

Shen Quelin touched his hand, feeling a little envious.

He certainly doesn't lack pills; the reason he did this is simply because he enjoys the feeling of openly snatching them from Shen Youqing.

"Junior Sister... cough cough, please don't think it's too little." Lin Jinyao took out a few porcelain bottles and placed them on the table.

"How could that be? I'm overjoyed that Second Senior Sister is so thoughtful of me!" Shen Youqing quickly put away the porcelain bottle. "Thank you, Second Senior Sister."

Lin Youran directly handed a storage bag to Shen Youqing, saying, "It's all sorted up, I've categorized everything. If we encounter any demonic cultivators, I'll poison them!"

"Thank you, Third Senior Sister!" Shen Youqing said cheerfully.

"Come on, let's continue your conversation." Lin Youran took out a bunch of melon seeds and placed them on the table. "Zhao Lingxi and his Daoist partner with mixed spiritual roots, and then what?"

“After his Daoist partner passed away peacefully, Zhao Lingxi disappeared,” Xiao Ke said unhurriedly.

Shen Youqing grabbed some melon seeds and started eating them.

With a "crack," Shen Quelin cracked open a melon seed, then asked, "Did the Qingyu Sect break up this loving couple?"

"Not yet."

After speaking, Xiao Ke glanced around slightly.

Everyone had a handful of sunflower seeds in their hands, and the sound of people cracking sunflower seeds could be heard all around them.

"Since the Qingyu Sect didn't break up the couple, why did they have to play the disappearing act?" Lin Youran piled up the sunflower seed shells to the side. "If you didn't know better, you'd think the Qingyu Sect had done something wicked."

As Lin Youran finished complaining, the courtyard fell silent for a moment.

Several pairs of eyes turned to look at them.

Lin Youran gasped in shock as she realized what was happening. "Could this be the reason he deliberately disappeared?"

"It's not impossible." Shen Youqing's expression turned serious.

This is a reasonable explanation for Zhao Lingxi's mysterious disappearance.
