Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 36: Night Visit to the Library
As the sky gradually darkened, Yun Yi lit an oil lamp in the disciple's room and read in the dim light. Outside, there was silence, with the occasional chirping of birds and cicadas.

During this period, Xun Ziyu took the initiative to come over, naturally to meet his new junior apprentice, Shi Yucheng. He was a man of old-fashioned character and spoke in an old-fashioned manner, which made Song Xinci somewhat wary of him.

The years of cultivation are extremely long, ranging from hundreds to thousands of years. Why should you act like an old scholar in your twenties?

However, Xun Ziyu and Yun Yi had a good relationship, so he took the initiative to ask about his junior brother's cultivation status and suggested that if he wanted any classics, he could go to Wangji Peak to look for them. Although the three pavilions had their own collections of books, Wangji Peak's Pavilion definitely had the largest collection.

He also brought some medicinal herbs with him, saying that he really didn't know how to make alchemy, so he gave the medicinal herbs that his master distributed every month to Yun Yi so that he could practice.

Seeing this, Song Xinci thought to herself, he is actually a good person.

She had been immersed in the Demon Sect for many years and had long been accustomed to the fickleness of human nature. Naturally, she could tell whether Xun Ziyu's feelings for Yun Yi were genuine or false. This man had no ulterior motives and simply got along well with Yun Yi, which was why he took good care of him.

Little did she know that the two of them had once joined forces to fight against the evildoers of the Demon Sect in Cuiwei Mountain. If you round it off, they could be considered a life-and-death friendship.

As the night deepened, Song Xinci made her bed, sat on it and looked at Yun Yi, feeling a little worried.

To put it simply, the disciple room is a spacious bedroom with a desk and two wooden beds, one for him and one for Yun Yi.

The problem was that there was no barrier between the two beds, which made her feel quite uncomfortable.

Originally, Song Xinci had thought that if she encountered a similar situation, she would simply cast a spell to put her roommate into a coma, which would make it easier for her to go out and investigate the Fuyao Sect in the middle of the night. But now that her roommate had inexplicably turned into Yun Yi, she was a little hesitant to do it.

The worst thing is that Yun Yi is a sensitive person. He will notice if I look at him for even a few more seconds.

For example, at this moment, Yun Yi asked, "Junior Brother Shi, are you planning to take a break? I'll turn off the lights now."

Song Xinci quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I just suddenly came to an unfamiliar environment and I miss home a little bit."

"Is it because the environment is too simple that you can't adapt to it for a while?"

"Uh... sort of. I used to sleep alone at home, and I'm not a very good sleeper."

"Speaking of this, I have to say hello to my junior brother in advance." Yun Yi smiled embarrassedly and said, "I snore occasionally when I sleep."

He added, "It's mainly because I'm too tired from practicing during the day. I hope you can bear with me!"

Yun Yi didn't know Shi Yucheng's true identity, and he had no taboos when talking to him. He just felt that they were both men, so there was no big deal in speaking frankly.

After hearing this, Song Xinci was full of complaints in her heart. Why does this guy snore while sleeping?

However, he maintained a smile on his face, pretending to be nonchalant and asked, "Brother Yun, what are you practicing? Can you tell me?"

"Of course I can tell you that I'm practicing the Sword Polishing Sutra, a simple martial art. I don't think you'll find it worth mentioning, Junior Brother."

"Sword Sharpening Sutra?" Song Xinci was stunned after hearing this. She didn't quite understand why Yun Yi chose such an unconventional mental method. Could it be that he didn't have a good time in Fuyao Sect, so he could only choose this?

Yun Yi said, "To put it simply, it's about using your body to sharpen the sword blade. It's a physical training method, so it's quite strenuous to practice."

He added in his mind, it's not just laborious, it's exhausting.

Song Xinci glanced thoughtfully at the large iron sheet in the corner, then suddenly realized that Yun Yi was trying to sharpen the blade. Sword sharpening was indeed a foolish method; it would be better to buy some whetstones.

You must not have the money to buy this stinky man. Humph, it’s your fault for not following me back to the Demon Sect.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Song Xinci, using the excuse of being sleepy, covered herself with the quilt and prepared to go to sleep. Unexpectedly, Yun Yi did not rest, but instead picked up the Fangyuan sword, left the disciple room, and disappeared.

Song Xinci frowned slightly. She had no desire to sleep at all and she pretended to be asleep just to hide it from Yun Yi. She planned to use puppetry to sneak out.

Since Yun Yi wasn't in the house, she felt free to go out as well. She had originally planned to wander around first, to see if there were any hidden paradises here, and to get to know the Fuyao Sect. However, Song Xinci lost interest at that moment and involuntarily followed Yun Yi.

As a person at the Hedao realm, her cultivation level is comparable to that of Daocheng, the head of the Fuyao Sect. Therefore, as long as she deliberately conceals her figure, no one will notice her at all.

Yun Yi didn't know that he was being followed. After he went out, he went straight to the top of Youxi Peak.

The terrain there is quite high, as if it is much closer to the starry sky, and there is no one there at night, making it a secluded place suitable for practicing.

The reason why Yun Yi prefers this place is mainly because the top of the mountain reminds him of the green mountain in the Feitian Secret Realm, where the Monkey Boss taught the White Ape Sword Technique on the top of the mountain.

Moreover, when he practiced the Sword Sharpening Sutra, his body became as hard as gold and iron after being infused with spiritual energy, and the friction with the square and round swords would make a sharp and piercing sound.

So it is farther away from the disciples' room so as not to disturb others' rest.

Song Xinci hid in the dark and watched Yun Yi take off his coat, spread his spiritual power throughout his body, and then clumsily controlled the large iron sheet to pass across his body. In addition to the sound of metal friction, some sparks were actually faintly splashed.

She kept shaking her head, thinking that stupid people like stupid methods. If she continued practicing like this, how long would she be able to sharpen her sword?

However, compared to this, what Song Xinci cared more about was that the last time they met Yun Yi, he was still a useless cultivator who knew nothing about cultivation. How come he suddenly refined his essence into Qi and became a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm?
Moreover, judging from Yun Yi's strong physique and resolute spirit, it is obvious that he has gone through a lot of hardships to achieve this.

This is not an achievement that can be achieved through self-discovery. It is obviously the result of guidance from an expert.

Song Xinci felt bored after watching for a while, and thought that since Yun Yi was unwilling to go back to the Demon Sect with him, he should just let him continue practicing using the clumsy method.

When he has achieved success in his cultivation, I will tell him a simple method, and then I will definitely make him sick from anger.

Thinking of this scene, Song Xinci smiled slightly, then she stopped paying attention to Yun Yi and left gracefully.

Song Xinci ignored the Fuyao Sect's protective formation, allowing her to fly through the air late at night and explore everywhere. Song Xinci knew that as long as she didn't go to Qingluo Peak, it would be difficult for anyone other than Daocheng to discover her.

She took a quick tour, and a few places caught her eye. Besides the five peaks, Fuyao Sect also had a warm spring in the back mountains. The water remained warm year-round, and overflowing with spiritual energy, making it a perfect place for cultivation.

Moreover, Nuanquan is close to the forbidden area in the back mountain, where there is an extremely powerful sword formation. It is not difficult to break in, but it is very likely to alarm the Fuyao Sect, so Song Xinci just thought about it and did not actually break in.

The forbidden area of ​​Fuyao Sect is quite vast, and no one knows what is hidden inside.

There was also a Lingxiao Terrace high up in the Fuyao Sect, brimming with spiritual energy, whose cultivation was definitely no less advanced than that of the Dao Cheng. Song Xinci only glanced at it from afar, not approaching. The being within Lingxiao Terrace was likely above the Hedao Realm, and it couldn't possibly be connected to the person who had set up the plot to kill him.

Song Xinci's view was very simple. The person who wanted to kill her either had a life-and-death feud with her, or was just greedy for her beauty and wanted to conquer her.

She finally came to Wangji Peak and dived deep into the library to look for information about the disciples of her sect. Then the name "Sang Jing" caught her eye.

According to records, Sang Jing went back to his hometown to visit his relatives a month ago, but he never came back. Elder Qingwei made a divination for him, and the divination showed an ominous sign, suggesting that Sang Jing had been killed.

A few days ago, Yun Yi joined the Fuyao Sect and brought back Sang Jing's magic pen, so it can be concluded that Sang Jing has died.

As a person who personally experienced the incident in the nameless town, Song Xinci knew very well that the stinky beggar had a magic pen in his hand.

She wondered, if the stinky beggar's divine messenger pen came from the Sang Jing, then under what circumstances did he encounter the Sang Jing? The Fuyao Sect had a great reputation in the righteous path. Logically speaking, the stinky beggar was just a casual cultivator and would never dare to provoke them.

So the stinky beggar may have had no choice but to kill Sang Jing.

Besides, there is another question. Anyone can use the God's Messenger Pen, but shaping a statue of a god and infusing it with spirit is the unique skill of the Fuyao Sect. Why does the stinky beggar also know this trick?
There are only two possibilities.

First, the stinky beggar was once a disciple of the Fuyao Sect.

Secondly, there is also a spy in the Fuyao Sect, who passed the art of divine communication to the stinky beggar of the Demon Sect!
