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

Only behemoths like the Holy Fire Sect and the Heavenly Righteous Sect can afford to rest on their laurels.

However, even they are now starting to control resources.

Resources are so scarce.

It is foreseeable that a major event, driven by resources, will sweep across the entire cultivation world in the future.

You sighed inwardly. Just as you predicted, this amount of effort was far from enough to obtain a Golden Core stage cultivation technique.

In the end, you still have to rely on yourself.

However, over this long period of time, you have used the saintess's body to verify many of your conjectures.

These things, you've hidden them in the small details of your daily life.

To this day, no one has ever discovered your little scheme.

You already have a plan in mind regarding the missing part of the Creation Demon Art.

The next step is to refine it step by step.

[Although this step is tedious, it is no longer as dangerous as the initial one, and besides, the Holy Maiden can continue to be used by you.]

For you, reaching the Golden Core stage is only a matter of time.

However, while there are no cultivation techniques available while following the Holy Maiden, other necessities will not be lacking.

You seem quite at ease about this.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and the saintess's state of mind began to stabilize.

She had her own ideas.

[In terms of cultivation level, he has advanced from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the late-Foundation Establishment stage, and is now striving for perfection.]

Although it was only a slight increase, for the Holy Maiden, her actual combat power increased several times over.

The current saintess is no longer the mere figurehead of the past.

[Considering the various demonic artifacts she possesses, the Holy Maiden could hold her own against a cultivator who has just entered the Golden Core realm for several rounds.]

"Master, where are we going next?"

The saintess ate the freshly roasted spirit beast, blinking her big eyes as she gazed at Lin Yun by the fire.

"I don't know, I'll just go with the flow."

If you get bored, you can consider going back.

Lin Yun added another piece of firewood.

"Not boring at all!"

"Following Master, everywhere is fun!"

The saintess hurriedly expressed her opinion, as if she would be sent back if she hesitated to speak.

This past year has been the happiest time of her life.

In the past, she could only stay in that small courtyard in the mountains, but later she was allowed to go to places a little further away.

However, he was always accompanied by a large group of maids whenever he went out.

It is both serving and monitoring.

I went out with my master without any surveillance and was completely free.

She experienced more in one year than she had in the previous twenty-odd years!

“Master, we don’t necessarily have to go anywhere.”

I feel comfortable whenever I'm with you.

Upon hearing this, the saintess herself was stunned for a moment, and then her cheeks flushed red.

"Haha, you're just being playful."

Going out with other people is the same~

Lin Yun did not respond.

Does the saintess like him?

That’s okay!

Shouldn't the people of the Holy Fire Cult skin him alive?

"is it?

But I've never felt this way when I go out with those maids.

That's because they're in charge of you.

I spoil them.

Lin Yun spoke without changing his expression, trying his best to minimize his presence.

"It seems...not really?"

The saintess was a little confused, even though Lin Yun's words made some sense.

But she always felt it wasn't the same thing.

"I brought you out here for my own selfish reasons."

You're my cash cow!

"If you're unhappy, the Holy Fire Cult won't be paying me my reward."

Lin Yun spoke without any restraint, doing everything possible to reduce the Holy Maiden's favor towards him.

"is it?

Why do I feel like you're being sarcastic?

The saintess looked suspicious; most of the things she usually offered had been rejected by Lin Yun.

If he's really after money.

Shouldn't we accept all comers?

If Lin Yun knew what the Holy Maiden was thinking at this moment, he would probably be both amused and exasperated.

It's not that he doesn't want it, it's that he doesn't want it!

He dares not accept it!

Almost everything the Holy Maiden used was the best within the Holy Fire Cult.

Although she was a vessel for a furnace, on the surface she was still a saintess.

Using inferior products for her would be a slap in the face to the Holy Fire Cult.

These resources are fine if I use them occasionally.

However, if one doesn't understand their own position and recklessly takes things from the saintess that don't belong to them, they might...

The people of the Holy Fire Cult will probably teach him a lesson soon.

After all, even the Holy Fire Cult is facing resource shortages at this stage, so it's impossible to let an outsider waste resources!

"The Holy Fire Sect has shown you kindness..."

"Okay~"

As a saint, I will serve the Holy Church when it needs me.

I will absolutely not refuse!

The saint spoke with righteous indignation.

Lin Yun looked at the Holy Maiden and a smile appeared on his face.

However, what the Holy Maiden didn't see, hidden in the firelight, was the flicker of struggle in Lin Yun's eyes.

Chapter 74 Chaos reigns throughout the land!

You knew the saint's fate from the very beginning.

When you offered your advice and suggestions, all you wanted was to resolve your own crisis as quickly as possible.

But now, you seem less inclined to continue this work for the Holy Fire Cult.

You don't want to see such a naive person ultimately kept in the dark and become a vessel for the Holy Fire Cult.

But you cannot explain this to the saint.

If you tell anyone, the Holy Fire Cult will most likely hunt you down to death.

There are only two solutions you can think of: either the Holy Maiden's strength grows further, demonstrating a value far exceeding that of a furnace, and she becomes capable of rebelling against the Holy Fire Cult on her own; or you help her clear the obstacles and eliminate those who need a furnace.

Neither method can achieve immediate results.

This requires a significant amount of time for planning.

But now, you're not sure if you still have that much time.

Gazing at the saintess's innocent and naive expression, you fell into deep thought.

You two spent another two months together outside.

The Holy Fire Cult, which has been allowing you to operate freely outside, has suddenly received news.

[Emergency Recall!]

The Holy Fire Cult demands that you bring the Holy Maiden back to her residence immediately.

The world is about to descend into chaos!

A sense of unease welled up within you, but faced with the orders of the Holy Fire Cult, you lacked the strength to resist.

[You can only keep comforting the saintess, or perhaps you can only comfort yourself.]

[On the day you bring the saintess back to the manor.]

A major event has occurred in the world.
