It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

"Thank you for saving me, young lady."

"But I'm being hunted and cannot stay here any longer; I must go."

Lin Yun took out a copper whistle, which contained a formation he had created himself. As long as he blew it, he could hear it no matter how far away it was.

"Young lady, you saved my life. If you ever need my help in the future, just blow this whistle, and I, Lin, will do anything for you, even at the cost of my life!"

The saintess took the bronze whistle, looked at it curiously, and then gently blew it.

A not-so-loud whistle suddenly echoed through the courtyard.

"Consider this your thank-you gift to me."

I probably won't need your help.

But those people haven't gone far; they're probably still looking for you. Are you sure you want to leave now?

The saintess stared intently at Lin Yun, making no attempt to hide her anticipation for his presence.

The maids in the courtyard, though supposedly serving her, were all actually quite rebellious.

They won't give me this, they won't allow me that.

It's not easy for an outsider to come; maybe he can keep her company for a while.

"Is it inappropriate for me to live here?"

"You've been sleeping in my bed for days now, what's wrong with that?"

"what?"

"Shouldn't you stay and make it up to me?"

In the end, you still didn't choose to leave the courtyard.

Of course you don't believe that those people the girl mentioned are still lingering nearby.

What truly made you stay was this opulent courtyard and the girl's sincerity.

And, her loneliness.

Ever since you came to this courtyard, the girl has always run to you. You tell her about your experiences over the years, and she always adds witty and insightful responses.

You two have only just met, yet you seem like you've known each other for a long time.

After spending just a few days together, you discovered something very strange.

The girl's cultivation level had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but she knew very little about cultivation.

[Many things are only partially understood, and even the use of ritual implements is often limited to a fixed method.]

[You subtly used a trick to examine the other person's body. Only then did you discover that their cultivation level had been artificially inflated.]

[And the other person's body seems to hold some secrets.]

Over the past few days, you haven't inquired about the other party's affiliation, and they've tacitly avoided discussing such matters.

This time, you finally couldn't help but ask.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't her who provided the answer, but rather the maid who stormed towards you in a huff.

Now you understand why the courtyard is decorated so extravagantly.

The other party is a holy maiden of the Holy Fire Cult.

These are negligible compared to the Holy Fire Cult.

Looking at the other person's pure smile, you roughly guessed the reason why the Saintess's realm didn't match her strength.

Chapter 71 Do you expect me to teach you the same way?

[You begin by trying to guide the saintess during conversations, teaching her some of the most basic spiritual knowledge.]

The saintess accepted it extremely quickly.

These were no challenge for her at all.

You then added something even more difficult, but the saintess still encountered no obstacles.

Her behavior further confirmed your suspicions.

The Holy Fire Cult is deliberately controlling the Holy Maiden's power.

[You only provided guidance for three short days, yet the Saintess's strength has clearly improved considerably.]

At the very least, the magical artifacts she possessed served more than just that one tiny purpose.

Of course, you're prepared too.

"You're Mu Shiba?"

"Exactly.

"You must be an elder of the Holy Fire Cult?"

Lin Yun felt he wasn't qualified enough, so he asked the sect leader to come in person.

The only people who can control the Holy Maiden are the elders.

Lin Yun was not surprised by the other party's appearance.

By offering guidance to the Holy Maiden, he was already dancing on the red line of the Holy Fire Church.

"Since you guessed it, you should know why I'm here."

"I have something to offer to your esteemed religion, and I have no other choice but to resort to this measure."

"The spirit tower in your hand?"

It's just a magical artifact; the Holy Fire Cult wouldn't even look at something like that.

This is not enough to atone for your sins.

"Elder, you might as well take a look at this first before making a decision."

When Lin Yun opened his hand, what he was holding in his palm was the Soul Pearl that Liangren Valley had nurtured over several years.

Its purity is unparalleled in the world.

Even for a powerful cultivator at the Golden Core stage, it is an invaluable treasure.

As expected, the other party became interested the moment they saw the Soul Bead.

"I am willing to offer this Soul Bead to the Holy Fire Cult!"

They are also willing to hand over the spirit tower to the Holy Fire Cult.

The elder flipped his hand and directly took the Soul Pearl, showing no intention of taking it out again.

"You should know that if we kill you, both of these items will belong to the Holy Fire Cult."

"I know I have no right to negotiate with the Holy Fire Church."

But I think your esteemed religion would be very happy to see an even better furnace!

Everything the saintess is doing now is preparation for becoming a furnace vessel.

Regardless of who it was prepared for, the recipient must be one of the top figures in the Holy Fire Cult.

"Kid, don't you think you know too much?"

The elder's voice turned cold.

Few people know that the Holy Maiden was a custom-made furnace.

Now, this secret has been discovered by a young man who has only recently come into contact with the Holy Maiden.

"Since the elder knows that I came from Liangren Valley, he must also know that I was once a furnace cauldron."

"I can impart all my secrets and provide the Holy Fire Cult with the finest alchemical vessel."

"And then, like you, learn to betray the Holy Fire Cult?"

"Hahaha, the Holy Fire Cult shouldn't be afraid of these things, right?"

There was not a single restriction on the saintess's body.

Flawless!

That special physique allows them to learn anything or accept anything very quickly.

The reason you control her learning martial arts is because you are afraid that one day she will rebel against the Holy Church.

I have a plan.

"This allows the Holy Fire Cult to perfectly control the Holy Maiden without affecting her physical constitution. Furthermore, it allows her abilities to be better suited to your needs."

This time, the elder did not respond immediately; he fell into a long silence.

"condition."

"I've been on the run for five years, and I'm looking for a big tree to shelter under."

Incidentally, I'd also like to take it a step further.

"This is a matter of great importance, and I cannot make a decision."

After I report it, someone will naturally give you a reply.

After saying this, the elder took the soul bead and left.

In the past, the Holy Fire Cult viewed the Holy Maiden as merely someone who could live a life of ease and comfortably serve as a furnace for the dead.

However, recently, the situation of that important figure has suddenly changed, and it is necessary for the Holy Maiden to become stronger and master more things in order to be compatible with him.

The Holy Fire Cult itself was considering how to properly train the Holy Maiden.

What truly convinced the elder not to kill Lin Yun was not the bead he handed over, but the plan he proposed.

Now, Lin Yun has come to us of his own accord.

That's too much of a coincidence.

Seeing the elder leave with the pearl, you knew in your heart that the matter was almost entirely resolved.

However, the Holy Flame Cult may not trust you, and with its numerous disciples, selecting a group capable of instructing the Holy Maiden would be no problem.
