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

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

The seal at the entrance to the ruins showed signs of reforming, and disciples from the three major sects emerged one after another.

The elder leading the Wangyue Sect was named Yang Qing. The disciples from the Wangyue Sect all came to him to report their income and handed over their storage bags.

Disciples of the Wangyue Sect cannot take these storage bags with them; they must hand them over to the sect. The sect will calculate the reward based on the harvest and the mission points received.

What do they need?

Then use the mission points to exchange for them at the mission hall.

Hearing that his disciples' gains were mediocre, Elder Yang Qing was not angry, as he had not expected much from these relics anyway.

On the other side, the disciples of the Flying Swallow Sect were in a similar situation.

The leader of the Flying Swallow Sect was Dong Yun, a middle-aged woman, who was currently holding Zhang Zishuang's hand.

"Zishuang, this is your first time going out to train and explore. How did it go? You weren't bullied, were you?"

Elder Dongyun asked with a smile.

Zhang Zishuang was not yet worthy of her attention, but Zhang Zishuang's cousin, Zhang Lengyu, was a genius who had made it onto the Northern Prodigy Ranking.

Because of his affection for Zhang Zishuang, Elder Dongyun paid more attention to her and asked the other disciples of the Flying Swallow Sect to take good care of her.

When Elder Dongyun asked her if she had been bullied, Zhang Zishuang subconsciously thought of being pinned against a tree by Jiang Lin. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and after thinking for a moment, she shook her head.

She hesitated whether to tell her cousin about it, but she definitely wouldn't want to tell Elder Dongyun.

Seeing Zhang Zishuang shake her head, Elder Dongyun chuckled. She had only asked casually, and if Zhang Zishuang really said that she had been bullied, it would be a troublesome matter for her.

It would be best if it weren't there!

At this moment, Jiang Lin also emerged from the ruins.

He spotted Zhang Zishuang from the Flying Swallow Sect at a glance.

Zhang Zishuang and Jiang Lin's eyes met, and her face, which had been slightly flushed, turned bright red. Perhaps she was thinking of those beautiful times again.

Jiang Linchao and the two team leaders clasped their hands in a salute.

The two deacons nodded, not paying any attention.

Of course, they didn't collect the disciples' storage bags either.

The Wangyue Sect and Feiyan Sect require their disciples to hand over their storage bags, but the Misty Holy Land, as the only holy land in the northern part of the Eastern Xuan Domain, does not need to require its outer disciples to hand over these things.

Although they don't treat the menial disciples as human beings, once they become outer disciples, they become official disciples of the Holy Land.

When Jiang Lin returned to the group, Tang Yu walked up from the outer disciples of the Misty Holy Land and looked Jiang Lin up and down.

"Senior Sister Tang Yu, are you alright?" Jiang Lin greeted her with a smile. The easygoing Tang Yu blinked, not understanding what Jiang Lin meant.

Seeing that Tang Yu was genuinely confused, Jiang Lin leaned close to her ear and blew a breath: "Senior sister, I mean, weren't your legs weak before? They're not weak anymore, right?"

"Ah!" Tang Yu's originally fair and flawless face suddenly changed color, turning rosy.

She glanced around, relieved that no one had noticed the ambiguity in Jiang Lin's words. She reached out and patted him, stammering, "Junior Brother Jiang Lin... if you want it... let's talk about it when we get back..."

"Uh... okay." Jiang Lin didn't expect that his casual joke would be misunderstood by Senior Sister Tang Yu, who thought he wanted it and told him to go back and talk about it later!

Speaking of which, Tang Yu is quite grateful to Jiang Lin.

If it weren't for Jiang Lin, she would have lost her virginity to that treacherous and cunning hypocrite, Li Ran.

Without Li Ran bothering her at the Weapon Refining Peak, she'll be much more comfortable there from now on.

The people from the three major sects waited a little longer.

We waited until the seventh day had completely passed.

The seal on the ruins has been re-formed.

Those who were supposed to come out have come out.

Those who haven't come out yet don't need to come out.

Because the sect's ruins in this space have been sealed again, forcibly opening the ruins could cause the ruin space to collapse.

Through the disciples' reports, the four leaders learned that this was a small sect ruin, containing nothing of value, only some surviving spirit beasts.

Let these spirit beasts remain in this space alongside the ruins of this sect.

The four responsible persons worked together to reinforce the seal considerably. It is estimated that no one will discover the relic seal again.

Elders Yang Qing and Dong Yun bowed to the two stewards of the Misty Holy Land to bid them farewell, and the outer disciples of the Misty Holy Land began their return journey under the guidance of the two stewards.

Three days have passed.

The spirit-powered spaceship arrived at the Misty Sacred Land.

The outer disciples quickly disembarked from the spirit energy flying ship.

Jiang Lin was the only one who hadn't gone down yet, which caught the attention of the two deacons. They frowned and looked at Jiang Lin: "What's going on?"

"Esteemed Stewards, I have a question for the other steward."

Jiang Lin was thinking about the fact that fifth-tier cultivators could use lightning-attribute treasures. If he left now, Xu Hongxi would be hard to find once she went to the inner sect.

"Nonsense!" Upon hearing that Jiang Lin wanted to see Deacon Xu, the two deacons' faces darkened. Just as they were about to reprimand Jiang Lin for being too bold as an outer disciple, they saw Xu Hongxi arrive at the bow of the spirit power airship.

The two deacons' expressions changed, and they looked at Jiang Lin with a "good luck to you" look.

They were merely stewards for the outer disciples.

Xu Hongxi is an inner disciple!

In terms of status, Xu Hongxi was far superior to these stewards.

"You may leave. I asked him to stay." Xu Hongxi glanced at the two stewards and coldly gave them the order to leave.

The inner disciples asked Jiang Lin to stay?

The two stewards were surprised and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Lin again, but they didn't hesitate and quickly bowed and took their leave.

After the steward left, Xu Hongxi turned around. She was still dressed in that light blue outfit, simple and clean, standing alone on the spirit power spaceship, giving people a strange sense of beauty.

Jiang Lin walked over and stopped when he was less than ten feet away: "Senior Sister Hongxi, do you know where I can get a edible fifth-tier lightning-attribute treasure?"

"A fifth-tier lightning-attribute treasure?"

Xu Hongxi turned around, still wearing the cloak. At this moment, there was a hint of surprise on her stunningly beautiful face, which only Jiang Lin had ever seen.

However, the surprise only lasted for a moment before Xu Hongxi changed the subject.

How did you recognize me?

Jiang Lin was speechless. He hadn't shown that he knew Xu Hongxi in the ruins before, but now he was directly asking to see Steward Xu. Didn't that prove that he knew Xu Hongxi before?

However, he was quick-witted. He looked at Xu Hongxi under the cloak and said softly, "Senior Sister Hongxi, it would be hard for me not to recognize you in this outfit."

Xu Hongxi thought about it and realized it made sense. Then she asked with a hint of curiosity, "You probably don't need a treasure of this level, do you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Hongxi knew she didn't need to ask. Since Jiang Lin had come to find her, he must have already made a plan.

Just as Jiang Lin was about to explain, Xu Hongxi pondered for a long time, sighed, and said softly, "Fifth-order lightning attribute treasures are rare to begin with, and those that can be consumed are even harder to find."

"Moreover, such treasures are extremely sought after. Even in our Misty Holy Land, such treasures are generally not displayed in the mission hall; they are reserved in advance."

Jiang Lin remained silent. Since this inner sect senior sister had spoken, there must be more to come.

Sure enough, Xu Hongxi raised her jade-like hand from beneath her embroidered robe, holding a token and a jade bottle in her slender and beautiful palm.

An invisible force lifted the token and the jade bottle, making them float in mid-air in front of Jiang Lin.

This is spiritual thought!

This power is only born when one enters the Meridian Opening Realm.

"This is the Northern Wilderness Trial Token. If you want a edible fifth-tier lightning-attribute treasure, you should have a chance to find it here."

"The Northern Wilderness Trial is a trial that almost all the young people in the northern part of the Eastern Xuan Region participate in. There are many opportunities inside. If you can perform well in the Northern Wilderness Trial, you can apply to become an inner disciple of the Misty Holy Land upon your return."

Trials in the Northern Wilderness!

It sounds like there's a lot of competition.

"Senior Sister Hongxi, this..."

Jiang Lin was about to ask more questions when Xu Hongxi gave him no chance. With a flash, she reappeared in the sky, standing on a small spiritual sword.

With a flick of her sleeve, she stored the spirit-powered spaceship away.

Jiang Lin landed on the ground.

"If you don't want to die in the trial, then improve your cultivation before you go." Xu Hongxi's figure had already disappeared.

Only this sentence remained in Jiang Lin's mind.

Telepathic communication!

Jiang Lin opened the jade bottle.

They discovered that it contained a Meridian Opening Pill!

Xu Hongxi saw that he had reached the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm and prepared a Meridian Opening Pill for him so that he could complete the breakthrough.

Jiang Lin rubbed his nose and looked up in the direction Xu Hongxi had left: "So, I've ended up living off a woman?"
