Chapter 154 was an act? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! [Requesting monthly votes]

inside the house.

Su Miaoyin, lying on the bed, was drenched in sweat, but her complexion had improved and become rosy. She slowly withdrew her palm from Yun Yao's and couldn't help but smile.

"Fellow Daoist Yun's Gui Water Demon Art is indeed incredibly profound; my injuries have improved considerably."

The Gui Water Demon Art also has remarkable effects in healing injuries.

"My previous self really caused trouble for Fellow Daoist Yun."

At this moment, Su Miaoyin was no longer the alluring woman she had been before; instead, she appeared dignified and composed.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yao calmly shook her head.

"One body, two souls. Fellow Daoist Su mainly cultivates lightning-based techniques, while the other cultivates divine soul techniques. It is truly profound and mysterious."

At this moment, Yun Yao was secretly shocked. Although she had known for a long time, only during this healing session could she truly understand how terrifying the magical power within the other party's body was.

Su Miaoyin specializes in the most powerful lightning-based techniques, and her internal magical power is extremely violent and terrifying. However, her Guishui Demonic Art seems to be subtly restrained.

The other soul within the body specializes in cultivating divine soul techniques, possessing incredibly powerful divine sense.

Such a dual-soul entity is equivalent to two people cultivating together, complementing and assisting each other, resulting in strength far exceeding that of cultivators of the same level.

Su Miaoyin nodded apologetically, offering only an apologetic smile to her other self.

"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Yun's consideration is? Will you help me return to Tianxuan City? I dare not boast about my Core Formation cultivation, but I will definitely do my best to help you achieve Core Formation in the future."

At this moment, Su Miaoyin straightened her clothes, held a whisk, and sat gracefully by the bed, smiling at Yun Yao.

She brought up the same suggestion again, asking if the other party was willing to help her.

"Help me form my core? You're willing to give up Master Lu's secret method for enhancing spiritual root aptitude?"

Yun Yao asked a question in return, but before the other party could answer, she frowned and shook her head, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Su, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but that I can't."

"Hehe, little sister Yun, have you forgotten who saved you when you suffered a qi deviation while practicing the Gui Water Demon Art? Who was pitifully injured and hiding in the pool, and who was kindly rescued by your older sister..."

"And who else, while severely injured and suffering temporary amnesia, was shouting..."

"Shut up!" Yun Yao stared intently at the person who had suddenly changed in front of her with an unfriendly gaze.

Suddenly, the alluring Su Miaoyin regained her composure and revealed an apologetic expression.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, I apologize."

Yun Yao felt a surge of resentment. She was certain that the other party was doing it on purpose. She refused to believe that Su Miaoyin couldn't control her other self.

"Fellow Daoist Su, I risked so much to save you this time, and I didn't covet the Core Formation spiritual items in your storage bag. Isn't that enough?"

"Then consider it half repaid. As long as you take me back this time, Sister Yun, this old man has many treasures. Do you want the Core Formation experience? Do you want to improve your spiritual root?"
Perhaps you don't want it, but why don't you ask your lover? I've heard that your Brother Lin only has a low-grade spiritual root. Tsk tsk, just imagine a hundred years from now, Sister Yun will have formed her core, while Brother Lin will already be old and gray..."

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, a terrifying chill spread, and Yun Yao struggled and hesitated for a long time, while Su Miaoyin calmly looked at her.

When Yun Yao's gaze fell on the storage bag at Su Miaoyin's waist, she couldn't help but swallow hard, her heart fluttering.

This is a Core Formation Spiritual Object!
"pity!"

Yun Yao sighed inwardly, realizing that she had missed the best opportunity after intervening to save the other party.

and!

Thinking of this, Yun Yao glanced at the other party without leaving a trace, pondering to herself, "If I had made a move earlier, would I really have had a chance to get it?"
"This matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with my fellow Daoist Lin who is traveling with me. If it doesn't work out, I will escort you alone, but afterwards you will owe me!"

"Oh dear, this Fellow Daoist Lin's way of calling out is truly disheartening. I vaguely remember someone calling out 'Brother Lin' incessantly before..."

A seductive giggle came from behind, while Yun Yao left indifferently the whole time.

Only after everyone was alone did Su Miaoyin's teasing smile slowly fade away on the bed.

"Sister, this Yun girl is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. If you treat her sincerely, she will be willing to open her heart to you. She is very easy to fool. However, the other person is cunning. You have to be careful."

"Sister, please be careful with your words. Fellow Daoist Yun and I are good friends." The dignified Su Miaoyin sighed helplessly, feeling resigned to the other self within her.

Perhaps it's related to Yun Yao's experiences.

But what does it mean to be easily fooled? She was genuinely trying to befriend him, okay?

"Sister, do you think someone might succumb to temptation this time? If so, Sister Yun might be heartbroken. This is someone else's Brother Lin..."

"If you can't resist the temptation, then it's your good fortune, Fellow Daoist Yun."

Su Miaoyin spoke calmly.

Now that she and Yun Yao are on the same side, the other party couldn't resist the temptation and betrayed Yun Yao.

It's better to realize it sooner rather than later.

……

"What?! Su Miaoyin is in your room?"

He had already started packing up and preparing to return to Tianxuan City when Yun Yao came and delivered such shocking news.

Looking at Yun Yao's solemn expression, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Su Miaoyin, the entire Yue Kingdom is now searching for this person.

He possessed a spiritual treasure that had reached the Core Formation stage, and both major sects wanted to get their hands on it.

In this way, he could become the son-in-law of the number one rogue cultivator, Master Lu, and inherit the vast family business of Tianxuan City.

At worst, one could kill to silence the witnesses, steal the Core Formation artifact, and flee to another country to cultivate in peace.

result……

The two fell silent. Lin Chang'an frowned, feeling both gratitude for Yun Yao's trust and consideration of the potential gains and losses.

Helping the other party return to Tianxuan City will undoubtedly bring great rewards.

But the risks are also great!
Wealth and honor are found in danger, but also lost in danger.

He is exceptionally talented and has ancient opportunities; there's no need for him to take such a big risk.

"Brother Lin, Fellow Daoist Su saved my life."

Yun Yao remained silent. Although she was also tempted by Su Miaoyin's storage bag, it was too late now; she had already saved what she needed to save.

He originally didn't want to drag Lin Chang'an into this, but this was also an opportunity, so after thinking it over, he decided to pull everything out.

Otherwise, once Lin Chang'an finds out about this, the trust between the two will plummet to rock bottom.

In that case, how could the two of them join forces to explore the cave ruins of Core Formation cultivators more than a decade later?

If even this much trust is lacking, then what future can we expect?

Lin Chang'an remained silent after hearing this.

Yun Yao is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Otherwise, even if they hadn't seen each other for twenty years, and had met again at Old Lu's funeral, she would still remember that brief friendship from back then.

Although I had the idea of ​​preparing for Foundation Establishment, I judge by actions, not intentions, because no one in history is perfect.

"Fellow Daoist Yun..."

Just as Lin Chang'an had considered it for a while and decided not to get involved, a sound suddenly came from outside the door.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, as long as you are willing to help me, the promise you made to Fellow Daoist Yun will also be valid for you after we return to Tianxuan City."

When Su Miaoyin appeared, Yun Yao's expression turned cold, clearly warning her, while Lin Chang'an felt a chill in his heart.

This terrifying aura!

No! It's not Su Miaoyin!

Although Su Miaoyin gave him a strong sense of danger and her aura was quite distinct, it wasn't nearly as terrifying as he seemed, and this aura was not something a human cultivator could possibly exude.

With his keen senses, Lin Chang'an's gaze inadvertently swept over Su Miaoyin's chest as he practiced this ancient technique.

There was no mistake. This terrifying aura reminded him of the sense of crisis that a third-tier demonic beast possessed. Although it was very weak, he was absolutely certain that he had sensed it correctly.

The feeling that Zheng Wugong experienced during his battle with Lu Zhenren, from the aftershocks of their third-tier spirit pet fight, was almost identical to the aura emanating from Su Miaoyin right now.

It's not as strong as the Xuan Shui Turtle, but it's not much weaker than the third-tier Thousand-Legged Centipede.

"Master Lu's third-tier Xuan Shui Turtle is still in Tianxuan City. Could it be that he is hiding another third-tier spirit pet on Su Miaoyin's person right now?"

Thinking back on Master Lu's past, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but curse inwardly. Sure enough, these old monsters who had lived for hundreds of years were all cunning.

Each card they've hidden is more and more ingenious than the last.

The strongest Core Formation cultivators from the two major sects were held back by Master Lu. So even if this situation is somewhat dangerous, could there be something more dangerous than a third-tier demonic beast?
It should be known that among cultivators of the same level, demonic beasts are generally stronger than cultivators.

"Fellow Daoist Su."

Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but the next moment Lin Chang'an solemnly cupped his hands in greeting.

“Tianxuan City is the root of us rogue cultivators. Fellow Daoist Su did not mind my shallow cultivation before... I am willing to assist Fellow Daoist Yun.”

When Yun Yao saw that Lin Chang'an had agreed, she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Although she was somewhat certain that this fellow Daoist Su definitely had some trump cards up his sleeve, this was just her intuition and guesswork.

"Thank you both very much."

Su Miaoyin's face was pale, and she gratefully cupped her hands to the two of them.

The two then began preparations.

Lin Chang'an, however, was secretly calculating in his heart that Su Miaoyin possessed the aura of a third-tier demonic beast.

Otherwise, he would never have gotten involved in this mess.

Perhaps it really is a stroke of luck; it seems he's going to benefit from Yun Yao's good fortune this time.

If it weren't for Yun Yao, Su Miaoyin would never have come looking for him.

He still has this bit of self-awareness.

It's obvious that Yun Yao and Su Miaoyin trust each other more; he was just an afterthought.

Given the current chaotic situation, although he wouldn't go so far as to betray or harm this fellow Daoist Su, he could at least observe the situation for a while.

If they can successfully connect with this network, at the very least, they will gain access to the high-level resources of Tianxuan City, especially the third-tier spiritual liquid, which is extremely valuable to their natal spiritual plants.

"Even though the situation is not good, the other party's goal is to target Su Miaoyin. Taking advantage of the chaos, I rely on the Blood Light Escape technique, which gives me a chance to escape even when facing a fake Core cultivator."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an nodded to himself. At worst, he could change his appearance and flee to another country to show himself in a different guise.

Besides, which fake Core Formation cultivator is out of their mind, fixated on a rogue cultivator like him?

There are risks, but does refusing now eliminate them?
Thinking of this, Lin Chang'an glanced at Su Miaoyin unintentionally.

After learning about the other party's situation, he was in danger.

He had seen Yun Yao's actions clearly just now, and it warmed his heart. It seemed that Yun Yao was more trustworthy.

……

Two days later, the small-scale animal swarms in various places had stabilized.

But everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

The real beast tide is yet to come.

Outside Tianxuan City.

"Damn old ghost Huang, is this what you called Lu the Turtle's impending doom? The aura of twilight is so strong?"

The Core Formation cultivator from the Divine Sword Sect glared angrily at Old Ghost Huang from the Li Huo Palace. Had he not escaped quickly, he would have been beaten to death.

Old Huang, who was being verbally abused, was also filled with anger.

"How can you blame me? Who knew that this tortoise, who was almost in his coffin, would still have such strength?"

After all, he was a legend of an era, and a Golden Core expert who made a name for himself even in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss, so it's normal for him to be strong.

The two major sects and the four Core Formation cultivators were all hiding on the mountaintop in a sorry state, staring at each other with dislike.

One of the Golden Core elders, who was nearly killed, still felt lingering fear when he recalled the incident, and couldn't help but say:
"Gentlemen, could it be that all of this was a ruse by this turtle?"

"Pretending!?"

After exchanging bewildered glances, Old Ghost Huang from the Li Huo Palace shook his head without hesitation and said:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"This old thing is a rogue cultivator who has fought countless battles, so it's normal for him to be stronger. He may be able to fool others with his old age aura, but he definitely can't fool me, his spirit beast."

At this moment, the spirit beast was still squeaking and nodding on Old Huang's shoulder, indicating that it was absolutely not mistaken.

Seeing Huang Laogui's confident expression, the late-stage Golden Core cultivator from the Divine Sword Sect also frowned and nodded, saying:

"Indeed, this aura of twilight is genuine."

Seeing that the strongest elders of the two major sects had nodded in confirmation, this elder also nodded secretly, thinking that he might have guessed wrong.

……

Meanwhile, inside Tianxuan City...

As Master Lu battled the four Core Formation cultivators, his astonishing strength was revealed by his aged appearance.

The legend of Lu Zhenren, the number one rogue cultivator in the Seven Kingdoms, has come to an end.

At this moment, on Tianxuan Peak.

While everyone thought Master Lu was recuperating from his injuries, he was actually lounging cross-legged on the back of the Xuan Turtle, fishing for spirit fish in the spiritual spring with a bamboo pole in hand.

"A group of young people really have no martial ethics. They actually teamed up to ambush this old bone of mine who is almost six hundred years old. If it weren't for the fact that my body can still hold on, I would have been lucky."

These consecutive battles require a proper rest.

Pinching his short beard, Master Lu squinted as if he were pondering something, while the third-tier Xuan Shui Turtle below idly stuck its head out and blew bubbles in the spiritual spring.

"Let's see how many disloyal people we can catch this time. With the Gold-Eating Rat protecting her, Miaoyin can escape even if she encounters a late-stage Core Formation cultivator."

Thinking of this, Master Lu's eyes turned deep as he gazed intently into the depths of the Cloud Mist Mountains.

"Beast tide, the previous generation of Xuan Yin Old Demon, if it weren't for your old man wanting to find this place, who knows how long it would have taken. It's just a pity about the spiritual veins of the seven kingdoms."

This place suppresses the miasma of the Cloud Mist Mountains, which has accumulated for countless years. Once it erupts, its power will likely affect the spiritual veins of the seven kingdoms..."

Thinking of this, Master Lu smiled calmly. The world of cultivation has always been a dog-eat-dog world.

Moreover, if he succeeds, it will be a blessing for the seven kingdoms.

"Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. The Seven Kingdoms are also my homeland. This is a rebirth for the impoverished Seven Kingdoms..."

……

Qingzhushan Market.

"Congratulations, senior."

The Zhou family came to see him off. Lin Chang'an rode the Green Horned Ox, and together with Yun Yao and the disguised Su Miaoyin, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators headed towards Tianxuan City.
