Mortal, I have an immortality lottery panel.

Lin Yue was quite tempted by the invitation from the rosy maid to engage in dual cultivation, but he was well aware of his own situation.

Once one engages in dual cultivation with a woman, their cultivation level will inevitably be exposed, and their identity as a senior will naturally be lost.

Although he possesses a portion of the primordial spirit of the rouge and controls her life force, it would be quite troublesome if the rouge were to decide to fight to the death in the future.

"Is Master worried that I might reveal your true cultivation level? Is it only at the early Foundation Establishment stage?"

Just as Lin Yue was about to refuse, the woman gently opened her pink lips and uttered a sentence as fragrant as orchids.

He swallowed his words of refusal, his expression turning cold. His eyes narrowed, his sharp gaze fixed on the alluring and captivating beauty, but there was no trace of passion or attraction in his eyes as he coldly questioned her.

"How did you know? Aren't you afraid I'll destroy your very soul in my hands, causing you to perish and die?"

"When I returned to the sect last time, I specially cultivated a spiritual eye technique that allows me to detect the true cultivation level of others. Unless it is a legendary Nascent Soul stage cultivator, it is impossible to hide from this spiritual eye technique. However, although this spiritual eye technique is extremely powerful, any cultivator can only use it once in their lifetime, and it also requires sacrificing ten years of their lifespan. It was only with great difficulty that I was able to find a way to cultivate it."

"Now not only is my cultivation technique backfiring, but I've also lost more than ten years of my lifespan. Does Master not intend to compensate me?"

With a pitiful and aggrieved look on her face, she stared at Lin Yue with spring-like eyes and explained in a sweet voice.

"I see. Since you already know I'm only in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, why do you still call me master? It can't be just because a part of your primordial spirit resides within you, controlling your life force, right?"

Seeing this, Lin Yue remained unmoved. Although Prime Minister Cao's ambition was good, it had also harmed the three virtuous men.

Therefore, he would never take this risk unless he was absolutely certain of success.

"Master's insight is truly remarkable; I admire you greatly."

"The reason I am willing to serve you and address you so respectfully as Master is because I hope to cultivate together with you in the future and help you advance further. With your current cultivation level, you are already able to kill skeletons. You must be possessing great opportunities. Given time, let alone forming a core, you will not only form a nascent soul, but also advance to the nascent soul stage. It is only a matter of time, and you may even become a great cultivator in the late nascent soul stage."

"As long as I follow you, Master, I might have the chance to condense my Nascent Soul and advance to the Nascent Soul stage, living for a thousand years. I know that with my spiritual root and aptitude, I will only reach the Core Formation stage in my lifetime. Therefore, I want to lend you a hand so that you can condense your Golden Core and Nascent Soul as soon as possible, and thus become a top-tier cultivator in the entire Tiannan cultivation world. At that time, I will also be able to leave the sect and belong to you alone."

"I swear by my heart that all I have said is true, without the slightest falsehood. I hope my master will see the truth."

The woman bowed respectfully, her expression both humble and expectant, her beautiful eyes sparkling with captivating charm.

Compared to her, Madam Liu, the third wife of the Mo family, was worlds apart and utterly incomparable.

"If my master still doesn't believe me, then destroy my soul and preserve this secret."

Seeing Lin Yue's unchanged expression and indifference, the woman with the red face composed herself, sighed softly, gritted her teeth, and said in a deep voice.

His tone carried a hint of sorrow.

Seeing this, Lin Yue strode forward and, under the shy yet expectant gaze of the rosy-cheeked woman, pulled her into his arms and headed towards the courtyard room.

……

Lin Yue stayed in the room for three whole days, and finally understood why Hong Fu called Hong Fen a demonic witch.

If it weren't for their amazing physique, they really wouldn't have been able to withstand it.

at the same time

The place with the richest spiritual energy in the Taiyue Mountains of Huangfeng Valley is the mountain where the only Nascent Soul cultivator, Ancestor Linghu, resides.

However, Linghu Laozu did not always stay in Huangfeng Valley. On the contrary, he traveled around, seeking opportunities to advance further or find longevity-extending elixirs and pills.

After all, among the few Core Formation cultivators in the entire Yellow Maple Valley, he has not yet seen a single one who has the potential to condense a Nascent Soul and advance to the Nascent Soul stage, so that he can support the overall situation of Yellow Maple Valley after his death.

Without a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in charge, Huangfeng Valley, while not losing its status as one of the seven major sects of Yue Kingdom, would inevitably become the lowest-ranking sect among them, in order to preserve its lineage.

They will inevitably have to give up spirit stone veins, herb gardens, and spiritual lands; otherwise, their inheritance may very well be swallowed up by other factions.

Although the various factions have been living in peace, they will never miss an opportunity to annex other factions and strengthen themselves.

However, the seven factions will not break off relations unless absolutely necessary.

Even so, Patriarch Linghu wanted to extend his lifespan and hold on for a little longer, so that perhaps a Nascent Soul cultivator could emerge from Huangfeng Valley.

On this day, Linghu Patriarch, who had just returned to his cave in Huangfeng Valley, saw the barrier sound transmission talisman blocking him from entering the cave before he even entered.

Seeing this, Linghu Laozu, who was in a bad mood after gaining nothing on this trip, pointed his finger and took it into his hand.

The contents of the text caused his expression to change slightly, and he muttered to himself.

"That girl Hongfu has something important to report. What could be so important?"

After saying that, Ancestor Linghu took out a new communication talisman and threw it towards the cave on Red Blossom Mountain. The talisman turned into a streak of fire and disappeared as soon as it left his hand.

Then, Ancestor Linghu opened the cave's protective barrier and entered, waiting for Hong Fu.

……

An incense stick later, in the main hall of Linghu Patriarch's cave, Hong Fu, with a solemn expression, slowly reported to Linghu Patriarch what Lin Yue had previously said about the impending invasion by both the righteous and demonic paths. This matter was of life and death to the entire cultivation world of Yue Kingdom.

After hearing Hong Fu's words, Linghu Laozu's face turned completely gloomy, but he did not say anything immediately. Instead, he fell into deep thought.

Or perhaps they are considering the truth of the matter, Lin Yue's identity, or how to deal with it; all of these are possible.

But no matter what, if this matter is true, it is not something that Linghu Laozu alone can resolve, not even with the entire Yue Kingdom.

Only if the neighboring countries join forces can they hope to resist the invasion of the six demonic sects of Tianluo Kingdom.

Furthermore, the Kingdom of Cheqi and the Kingdom of Jiang have been almost entirely controlled by the six sects of the Demonic Path.

Therefore, they have two fewer countries to unite with, which makes Linghu Laozu feel even more powerless.

"Do you know the identity of that fellow Daoist?"

After a long while, Elder Linghu finally asked his first question, which was also the most crucial one.

Lin Yue's identity is almost synonymous with the accuracy of this matter; whether it's true or false, Elder Linghu must find out clearly.

"Uncle-Master, please forgive me, this disciple was unaware of the matter."

Upon hearing this, Hongfu shook her head slightly, her face pale and full of apology.
