New and dark light years

Chapter 197 The Young Lady of the Fang Family Comes to the Door
Anxin returned to the sect's main hall, a place where the elders liked to hang out, and which also served as a council chamber.

Several elders were sitting and chatting over tea; the scene was quite warm and inviting.

As a major sect, Tianyi Sect has many businesses and therefore lives a good life.

The elders were also drinking top-quality tea, the aroma of which filled the air.

The cover of the booklet caught their attention, and one of the elders picked it up: "Annotations on the Soul-Guiding Paper Doll Technique... The handwriting is very elegant, yet it has a craftsman's touch. It must be that County Magistrate Li."

Anxin nodded.

They didn't look at the contents of the booklet; instead, the elder placed it back on the table and asked, "What are your requirements, County Magistrate Li?"

"He requested to consult our local chronicles."

Did you ask him what information he wanted to find out?

"He didn't say."

"Aren't you going to ask?"

"It's just a local chronicle. Although it's important, the other party is willing to pay such a high price, so they probably won't let us know," said an elder beside him.

"Should we show it to him or not?"

"Of course we'll give it to you." The oldest elder, with completely white hair and beard, patted the booklet. "It's a rare secret manual, why wouldn't we take it? County Magistrate Li is an honest man, it shouldn't be a fake."

An Xin smiled and said, "Then I'll go tell him the good news."

The white-haired elder smiled and said, "Anxin, you will have to shoulder the great responsibilities of the sect in the future. You can make your own decisions on this matter. There is no need to report to us."

"it is good!"

An Xin clasped his hands in a fist salute, then turned and left.

Li Lin waited outside, and An Xin came out shortly afterward.

"Brother Li, the elders of my sect have already agreed to this matter."

Li Lin clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you. I will spend three to four days looking into it. I'll leave you with my food and lodging during this time."

"It's easy to talk about."

As a major sect, it naturally has a special place to receive visitors.

Li Lin then settled down here and began reading local chronicles in the library of Tianyi Gate.

They kept local chronicles and internal martial arts manuals in the same place.

It's just that one is on the left and the other is on the right.

Li Lin knew the rules, so he never looked to the left and only consulted books within the designated area.

He came looking for the section on 'immortals'.

Or related content.

This is for comparison with the contents of "The Secret Records of Immortals".

Moreover, Li Lin didn't think that the "Immortal's Secret Records" would record the whereabouts of all immortals, and that there would definitely be omissions.

Using his official position, he had already read through the local chronicles of Yulin County and discovered information not found in the "Secret Records of Immortals".

He couldn't easily access the local gazetteers of Jin County, so he came to Tianyi Gate to try his luck.

After all... Tianyi Sect is an old sect with hundreds of years of history, and it's clear that Anxin is very confident in the contents of his sect's local history.

Sure enough, after about three days, Li Lin found some very interesting content in the local chronicles of Tianyimen.

One of them is: "The Heavenly Demon roars throughout the world, bewitching people's hearts, leading thousands of followers, killing all who pass by, nobles and commoners alike perish."

Then another one was found in another bamboo scroll.

'An immortal descended to the world in Jin County, the celestial demon perished, and peace reigned.'

Although it doesn't say where the extraterrestrial demon appeared, if the records are correct, then the demon was killed in Jin County.

Li Lin subconsciously touched his chin; he made this small, unconscious gesture when he was thinking. The first point is quite interesting.

To bewitch people and lead thousands... In that sense, the Heavenly Demon is not only strong in combat, but also in leadership.

No wonder Qin Tuo of Yuecheng was considered by people to be the reincarnation of a demon from beyond the realm.

After all, the extraterrestrial demon died in the southern border region, while Qin Tuo did indeed rebel.

In addition, the immortals killed the extraterrestrial demons... According to what he found in the "Immortal's Secret Records", the immortals were active at times when the extraterrestrial demons appeared.

This is even more interesting.

It's as if these two things appear in pairs.

Li Lin flipped through the remaining volumes but found nothing more, so he gave up.

He came out of the library and found Anxin in the front hall.

At this moment, An Xin was answering his junior brothers and sisters' questions about martial arts.

He leaned closer and overheard a female disciple ask, "Senior Brother, is the art of dual cultivation really that miraculous?"

"Oh, not bad! But the martial arts community has exaggerated its effects," An Xin said with a smile.

"Is it possible that the dual cultivation technique could allow a girl around seventeen years old who is learning martial arts to defeat me in just four or five months?"

An Xin laughed even harder: "Junior Sister Yongwei, were you having a nightmare?"

“Really, I lost to a maid a few days ago. She used a low-level martial art like the ‘White Tiger Turns Over’.” Fang Yongwei looked frustrated. “I have nothing to say if I’m not as good as her, but she said she’s only been learning boxing for less than half a year, and that she’s improved her blood and energy through dual cultivation.”

An Xin couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Impossible, Junior Sister Yongwei, you must be still half asleep. If it really had such an effect, the Ding family of Guicheng... would already be the target of everyone's criticism. You should understand what I mean."

"Really?" Fang Yongwei was skeptical. "But the Huang family shouldn't lie to me."

"The Huang family?" An Xin's expression immediately turned serious: "The Huang family, the prefect's family?"

Fang Yongwei nodded.

"Then tell me what happened."

Fang Yongwei then recounted her experience at the Huang family's house a few days prior.

After hearing this, An Xin's expression became very strange: "Wait, you mean... that maid is Li Lin's concubine, Li, the county magistrate of Yulin County?"

"Correct!"

An Xin turned around abruptly, looked at Li Lin who was walking over, pointed at him, and said to Fang Yongwei, "Well, the main character is here. Go ask him yourself."

Actually, he was also very curious.

Fang Yongwei looked at Li Lin and couldn't help but exclaim, "What a handsome young man! He's even more handsome than my older brother!"

An Xin smiled and said, "Brother Li's appearance is indeed extraordinary; it's a rare sight indeed."

Li Lin walked over, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Brother An, I have finished reviewing the local chronicles. Thank you for the care and assistance from Tianyi Sect these past few days."

"You're too kind." An Xin stood up and returned the greeting, then smiled and said, "This is one of my junior sisters, Fang Yongwei from the Fang family."

"The Fang family?" Li Lin asked, puzzled. "May I ask if Military Advisor Fang has any connection with the heroine?"

"My elder brother!"

"Oh, I've met you before, Miss Fang." Li Lin clasped his hands in greeting. "I've met Brother Fang a few times, so we can be considered acquaintances."

Fang Yongwei gave a slight bow, using the manner of a noblewoman greeting rather than the martial arts style: "Daughter of the Fang family greets Brother Li."

Li Lin nodded: "May I ask what you need my guidance on?"

“A few days ago, I sparred with Sister Hongluan and lost.” Fang Yongwei looked at Li Lin with burning eyes: “Then I learned that Sister Hongluan has only been learning martial arts for less than half a year. Is the dual cultivation technique really that powerful?”

Li Lin instinctively tilted his head back.

This young lady from the Fang family is far too bold.

Is the term "dual cultivation" something an unmarried young woman would utter?
