After my Daoist partners broke off their engagement, they pledged their loyalty to me!

A perfectionist when it comes to crafting weapons!

This is a very niche combination of words.

It just so happens to happen to Gong Qingyu.

Everyone has some habits or quirks, more or less.

Gong Qingyu had a strange obsession with cleanliness when refining artifacts.

She needs to be completely spotless to enter her weapon-refining state, otherwise the refining will fail.

This is one of the reasons why she would set up a bewitching array around her bamboo grove cabin to prevent others from getting close.

Once, when she was trying to become a third-tier weapon refiner, her fastidiousness about weapon refining flared up at a crucial moment, causing her to fail and burn herself when the furnace exploded. Only the waste embryo of the high-grade mortal spirit treasure was left.

Since then.

Gong Qingyu had been searching for the Water Spirit Rejuvenation Pill, a third-tier spiritual pill that could perfectly heal the scars on her arm.

Otherwise, whenever she tries to forge a weapon, she will be reminded of her scars, making it impossible for her to get into the zone, and she will fail no matter what she tries.

She's been stuck in this state for a long time, and she's had enough of the torment!

Seeing that Gong Qingyu was deep in thought, Jiang Lin pressed on and gently reminded her, "Whether or not the deal goes through depends entirely on whether Senior Sister Gong is willing."

"If I can't get the bargaining chip I want from Senior Sister Gong with this Water Spirit Rejuvenation Pill, I can't guarantee how long I'll keep the pill. After all, what you have in your hands is what you own."

"Enough!" Gong Qingyu shouted.

Jiang Lin's face was reflected in her beautiful, phoenix-shaped eyes. She gritted her teeth and said indignantly, "You keep saying it's consensual, but you're just constantly trying to seduce me with your words!"

Jiang Lin smiled nonchalantly: "Senior Sister Gong, since you didn't send me away immediately, you must have your own thoughts."

"I'll wait here for Senior Sister Gong's answer."

"Actually, proper balance of yin and yang is beneficial to both men and women. On the one hand, it can relieve psychological stress; on the other hand, love between men and women is a natural law of the universe, I..."

"Shut up!" Gong Qingyu glared at him. "Come in with me!"

She realized that Jiang Lin was incredibly eloquent.

He clearly just wanted her body, but he kept spouting grand theories about yin and yang harmony and the pleasures of love between men and women.

If she didn't shut him up soon, Gong Qingyu was afraid that Jiang Lin might say something even more shameful and infuriating outside her bamboo grove and wooden house.

However, Jiang Lin was right about one thing.

That means Gong Qingyu also had her own thoughts.

She never intended to find a Daoist partner in her life.

She wasn't concerned about her primordial yin body, since the cultivation method she practiced didn't require a primordial yin body.

She was perfectly normal before, so she naturally wouldn't have thought about this kind of thing, but now Jiang Lin has provided her with a solution.

Gong Qingyu considered it very seriously.

That's why Jiang Lin is so handsome.

Try saying that to an ugly male disciple? Gong Qingyu's spirit sword is not necessarily at a disadvantage!

Gong Qingyu turned and walked towards the wooden house in the bamboo grove.

Jiang Lin's gaze fell on what was behind her.

He followed Gong Qingyu's steps.

Even if it's hidden under the hem of a skirt.

You can still see that perfect curve.

Neither Zhao Yishu nor Senior Sister Jiang Wei can compare to Gong Qingyu in this respect.

"You're still watching!?"

Although Gong Qingyu turned around, she could still keenly sense that Jiang Lin was looking at her. Her expression was a mixture of embarrassment and indignation, but her ears turned red.

Jiang Lin rubbed his nose, thinking to himself, "They won't let me see it now? Later I'll not only want to see it..."

He muttered to himself, but his legs moved quickly.

He quickly chased after them.

In the outer sect, only disciples who have reached the Meridian Opening Realm are qualified to live independently in one place.

This bamboo grove and wooden house is the place that Gong Qingyu chose.

Quiet and elegant, it's very comfortable to live here.

Jiang Lin was the first male disciple to enter Gong Qingyu's wooden house.

The furnishings inside the wooden house were simple.

Wooden tables, chairs, and beds—these are all normal.

There was only one mat on the floor in the middle of the wooden house.

On the cushion were three unidentified platforms, and on each platform stood a refining furnace with the words "Green Jade" engraved on its surface.

This is a refining furnace that Gong Qingyu specially commissioned to be made.

"Jiang Lin, give me the Water Spirit Rejuvenation Pill, and I'll promise you two high-grade mortal-level spiritual treasures, how about it?"

After Jiang Lin sat down, Gong Qingyu began her self-righteous negotiation, haggling over the price.

Clearly, her first choice was still not to use accompanying someone as a bargaining chip, and she wanted to find someone else.

However, Jiang Lin had often negotiated prices with people before and was very skilled at it!

When it comes to negotiating prices, how could Gong Qingyu, a beautiful female disciple who has been refining weapons for many years, be a match for Jiang Lin?

Jiang Lin looked at Gong Qingyu calmly and slowly shook his head: "Senior Sister Gong, there's no need to say anything more. The time you've wasted is all your own."

"Go to bed early and you'll be able to fix your scar problem sooner."

"I knew that cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. I believe the same applies to weapon crafting."

When Gong Qingyu and Jiang Lin discussed the price, Jiang Lin completely avoided the topic and went straight to the point.

If you don't agree, it's your own time that's being wasted, not mine. Anyway, I've already told you all my conditions.

This is just like negotiating a business deal.

The party with the tight schedule and urgent task is destined to be the passive party, unless the other party itself lacks experience.

"This..." Gong Qingyu's eyes flickered.

Jiang Lin's next sentence was the decisive blow!

Because she hadn't been able to enter a state of weapon crafting during this period, Gong Qingyu felt that her weapon crafting skills had declined.

This is pure intuition.

It would have been better if Jiang Lin hadn't said anything.

Upon hearing this, Gong Qingyu felt even more strongly that she couldn't wait any longer; the problem had to be solved.

Gong Qingyu was caught in a dilemma.

Jiang Lin was about to say something more.

After thinking about it, I decided not to push too hard.

Time passed by, second by second.

"Jiang Lin..."

Before Gong Qingyu could finish speaking, Jiang Lin immediately chimed in, "Senior Sister Gong, is there anything else you're worried about?"

"Could you please show me the Water Spirit Rejuvenation Pill...?"

"That won't do." Before Gong Qingyu could finish speaking, Jiang Lin decisively interrupted, "Senior Sister Gong, you possess the cultivation of the Meridian Opening Realm, far surpassing me. I'm certain I've hidden the Water Spirit Rejuvenation Pill in a place only I know, otherwise, what if you steal it?"

"You!"

Gong Qingyu gritted her teeth, as if she were biting Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin could hear the other person's rosy lips clenching their teeth, and he was absolutely certain: "Want to bite me? I'll let you bite me as much as you want later!"

"Then let me ask you, what if you're lying to me? If you're unwilling to show it to me, how am I supposed to know if your Water Spirit Rejuvenation Pill is real or fake?"

"Liar?" Jiang Lin asked in surprise. "Senior Sister Gong, I'm a young outer disciple of the Misty Holy Land, while you're at the Meridian Opening Realm. After this incident, if you don't say anything and I don't say anything either, we both have a bright future."

"This is a written agreement I made beforehand. If I dare to lie to you, you can kill me without complaint."

As he spoke, Jiang Lin actually took out a written agreement.

He had already made these preparations long ago.

The saying "Opportunity favors the prepared mind" is fully embodied here.

He's got his hands on Senior Sister Gong Qingyu, who has an amazing butt, and nobody can touch her!

After a long while, Gong Qingyu seemed to have convinced herself.

She looked at Jiang Lin, her fair and handsome face slightly turned away, which was considered her tacit acceptance of the deal.

But it's impossible for her to agree willingly.

She decided that she would start counting from the moment she turned her face away; if Jiang Lin couldn't understand her meaning within fifteen minutes, then she would refuse... Ah!

Gong Qingyu's body suddenly trembled violently!

She turned her head slightly.

Jiang Lin had already approached them without them noticing.

Jiang Lin smiled at Gong Qingyu: "Judging from your expression, Senior Sister Gong, you must have already figured it out?"

Gong Qingyu remained silent.

Neither speaking nor refusing?

With such a clear and unambiguous signal being released, if Jiang Lin doesn't take action, then all his time coming here would have been for nothing.

He looked down from above.

Gazing at the exquisitely beautiful silhouette of Senior Sister Gong Qingyu's buttocks as she sat on the wooden chair, Jiang Lin chuckled and reached out to grab them.
