Mortal, I have an immortality lottery panel.
Chapter 42: Lin Yue, I really have nothing left.
"Please forgive me, senior. I was rude before. I hope you will forgive me for the sake of Elder Yunlu of the Hehuan Sect. From now on, I will never refuse or decline your orders. I will do my best to serve you."
As she spoke, Hongfen looked at Lin Yue with tender affection, revealing a pitiful expression that seemed to say, "I feel sorry for him and can't bear to hurt him."
To survive, she had no other choice. After all, although they had gained the upper hand in their previous battle with Hong Fu, they were only at 30-40% of their original strength. This was also a major reason why the skeleton was severely injured and killed by Lin Yue in one blow.
If the skeleton were at its peak, it would be virtually impossible for Lin Yue to kill it in one strike.
All I can say is that this skeleton was really unlucky.
"Senior, this woman is a demonic witch from the Hehuan Sect. We must not let her go. If we release her, the old demon Yunlu of the Hehuan Sect is always vengeful and will not let this matter go. Then, you will be in big trouble."
Seeing this, Hong Fu felt a pang of anxiety and denied it without hesitation.
"Senior, do not believe Fellow Daoist Hong Fu's words. She has a deep grudge against Elder Yun Lu. If you do not believe me, I can unleash my inner demon here, and our sect and I will absolutely not pursue this matter."
Upon hearing this, Hongfen was startled and glared angrily at Hongfu, who had caused the trouble, before making a promise.
Despite Lin Yue's aura still being at the early Foundation Establishment stage, the two women addressed him as "senior," even though he was capable of severely injuring or even killing a skeleton with a single move.
They tacitly agreed that Lin Yue was actually an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage with an eccentric personality.
This also explains why she possesses the Youth-Preserving Pill. As for the cave's formation, Hong Fu still doesn't quite understand it, but now is clearly not the time to investigate.
All she wants now is Lin Yue to help her kill this demonic witch, Hong Fen.
If it weren't for the fact that the Old Demon Yunlu gave the Red Powder Skull an ancient treasure specifically designed to counter her, she definitely wouldn't have been the one being chased earlier.
Looking at the two women who were arguing and had misunderstood his level of cultivation, Lin Yue revealed a playful smile and put forward his conditions.
"Just now, the fairy mentioned wanting to offer a portion of her primordial spirit to your esteemed sect. How about we switch places now? The fairy would hand over a portion of her primordial spirit to leave the Joyful Union Sect and serve me."
Upon hearing this, her rosy cheeks changed slightly. She curtsied, gave a wry smile, and explained in a soft, delicate voice.
"It is my honor that you have taken a liking to me, senior. However, I have already placed part of my primordial spirit in the sect. If I were to betray the sect and leave, I would surely die without a burial place. Moreover, my husband has now passed away, and the sect must already know about it. Elder Yunlu has most likely sent someone to pick me up. Therefore, I really cannot serve you, senior. I hope you will understand."
"Regarding what happened before, I am willing to make any compensation if you ask me to spare my life."
"Senior, this demonic witch is merely stalling for time, waiting for the demonic cultivators to come to our rescue. We urge you to act swiftly, slay the demon, and eliminate future troubles."
Before she could finish speaking, Hong Fu's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she began to offer advice.
Upon hearing this, Hongfen's expression changed slightly, and she stared at Lin Yue with a pitiful and anxious look.
"Don't worry, senior, I would never dare to do that."
"Alright, you two stop talking. I don't need you to betray the Joyful Union Sect for a portion of my primordial spirit. You just need to help me collect some materials. Of course, I won't let you collect them for nothing. I'll exchange them with you in the future using spiritual herbs or other things."
Seeing the two women arguing, Lin Yue spoke calmly.
For Lin Yue, the sooner he gathers the materials to craft the "spiritual weapon," the better, so he won't have to spend time collecting them himself later.
"Very well, this junior is willing to offer up a portion of my primordial spirit and swear an oath against my inner demons."
Upon hearing Lin Yue's words, Hongfen knew that this was the only way out. She then made a vow to her inner demons, and with a sip of her lips, a ball of pink light floated out and drifted toward Lin Yue.
As soon as the pink light emanated, the already pale face of the woman completely lost its color, and her expression also became much duller.
Seeing this, Lin Yue took the pink light ball into his hand, then took out a jade bottle and put it inside, attaching a talisman to it.
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Hongfu, please tell Fairy Hongfen about the materials I asked you to collect earlier. I don't want to waste any more breath."
After putting the jade bottle containing part of Hong Fu's primordial spirit into his storage bag, Lin Yue glanced at Hong Fu, whose eyes revealed a hint of resentment, and gave instructions.
After saying that, he transformed into a beam of light and landed in the deep crater basin created by the skeleton. He carefully collected the storage bag on the skeleton's body and the magical treasures inside. Then, he used a fireball spell to cremate the skeleton and bury it in the basin.
It's not like they died without a burial place!
Seeing this, Hongfen felt bitter and sad, but had no desire for revenge, because her life was entirely in Lin Yue's hands.
Now all I can do is listen quietly to Hong Fu recount the various materials.
"A year from now, no matter how much you collect, go to the Tianxing Sect Market. I'll be waiting for you there."
"If Fellow Daoist Hong Fu is willing, she can also help collect them. Don't worry, she won't suffer any losses."
After Hong Fu finished speaking to Hong Fen, Lin Yue instructed the two women again.
"Yes, junior obeys."
Hong Fu curtsied and did not refuse.
Whether for her own life or to repay Lin Yue for saving her life, she would do her best to help collect the materials Lin Yue mentioned.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Hongfen, whose life depended entirely on Lin Yue's decision, naturally had no choice but to agree. She curtsied and softly accepted.
Then, the next sentence surprised Lin Yue and Hong Fu.
"It's still early. I wonder if you need my service, young master?"
A charming and alluring remark caused Hong Fu's face to flush red with embarrassment and annoyance, and she spat out a curse.
"Witch!"
Lin Yue shook his head and politely declined.
"Maybe next time, I have something to do."
These words softened Hong Fu's gaze towards Lin Yue, making her look more pleasing, while she gave a soft snort to Hong Fen.
Then, he said to Lin Yue with a respectful expression.
"Senior, I am injured and will take my leave now. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to come to Yellow Maple Valley to find me."
"Alright, go ahead! Healing is the priority. As for the materials from before, I'll visit your sect again in a year."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue nodded in understanding.
"Thank you, senior. I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, Hong Fu, feeling relieved, transformed into a streak of light and headed towards the Yellow Maple Valley of Yue Kingdom.
After she had completely left and disappeared from sight, Hongfen spoke cautiously and softly.
"Young master, now that the troublesome fellow is gone, do you still need me to serve you?"
"No need, you can go back and help collect the materials."
Lin Yue refused without any hesitation or lingering feelings.
He appears to be fine now, but in reality, his strength is almost completely exhausted, and his true essence and magical power are also nearly depleted.
It can be said that he only has the power for one strike, and that's all he has left.
If they engage in dual cultivation, the female fans will discover it immediately, and that would be troublesome.
Seeing this, Hongfen glanced at Lin Yue with complicated emotions before leaving.
After Hongfen left, Lin Yue felt relieved and then checked his gains.
In other words, the skeleton's storage bag contained not only his natal magic weapon, but also tens of thousands of spirit stones, as well as pills, materials, talismans, and other treasures. It was quite a windfall.
