Am I the only good person in this cultivation world?

Yao Han's mind went blank.

What?

Is the Wandering Hermit already dead?

His expression froze, and he almost lost his composure.

I didn't even have a chance to pay my respects to you, how could you be gone?

It hasn't been more than a few years in between!

Things took a turn for the better than Yao Han had anticipated.

Moreover, it seems that this Sect Leader Qin has a close relationship with his "master" whom he has never met.

This is a difficult situation!

If I say anything wrong, he'll probably see through it immediately!

Yao Han was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face. He just bowed silently, looking sighing and missing her.

We can only adapt to the situation. The more we talk, the easier it is to expose ourselves, so it's best to say less for now.

"Although I've never met you, this jade pendant is indeed his; it can't be faked. However, just to be on the safe side, could you perhaps demonstrate your cultivation technique to me, junior disciple?"

Gongfa?

Yao Han's mind raced, and he cupped his hands in a respectful gesture:

"Since the sect leader has spoken, how dare I disobey? Please wait a moment, senior master."

After saying that, Yao Han made a few hand seals in front of this Sect Leader Qin.

A moment later, a dazzling golden light appeared on his body, along with a golden sword and a round shield, which circled around him and slowly flew around.

"Hmm, it does indeed have a trace of his Daoist essence. It seems you truly are his successor. Nephew, please accept the technique."

"Yes."

Yao Han did as instructed, secretly breathing a sigh of relief, feeling extremely fortunate.

If he hadn't chosen the Blazing Light Technique that day, but instead continued to cultivate the Three Ghosts Reincarnation Technique, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape this calamity today!

Today's coincidence proves once again that his decision to declutter was correct.

But who could have imagined that there was something strange about this technique?

What did he just say... Dao Yun?

In other words, this "Blazing Light Technique" is not the original version, but rather an improved version by You Tian Sanren.

Damn it, is this master reliable or not? I don't want to cause myself any problems while practicing!

Yao Han was at a loss for words, wondering whether to complain or be grateful to his mentor who had passed away before they had even met.

"You must have only joined the sect after he passed away, which is a shame. That old ghost, he used to like taking on disciples indiscriminately, sigh... never mind, those days are best left unsaid. Tell me, what brings you to my Myriad Manifestations Temple?"

Yao Han dared not delay, put aside his other thoughts, and told Sect Leader Qin about his experience in Yuanshuang Market that day.

He did not tell the truth, concealing some details about himself. As he spoke, Master Qin's expression grew increasingly solemn.

"So, even my junior disciple doesn't know the source of his aura?"

"I really don't know. It's just that my junior disciple bought a few magical artifacts in the market that day, and there might be residual energy on them, which may have caused Senior Xu to misunderstand."

"Now that things have come to this, none of that matters anymore. Nephew, would you please open your mind and allow me to investigate?"

Yao Han forced a smile and said "okay".

It is actually quite dangerous to easily allow the consciousness of others to intrude into one's own soul.

To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, it's like letting someone put their hand inside your head; if you're not careful, the consequences could be disastrous.

But considering that he would need the person in the temple to help him lift the restrictions and that it would only be a matter of time before he could release his soul, he decided to put his guard down for the time being.

Since we've already gained the approval of this Sect Leader Qin and our lives are temporarily safe, we might as well go along with his wishes.

So Yao Han closed his eyes, focused his mind on his sea of ​​consciousness, and relaxed his protection of his soul.

Then, he felt a strange divine sense probe into his body, touch the elusive restriction, and leave immediately.

"It really is the 'Myriad Forms Burning Curse'!"

Sect Leader Qin's expression changed, and he withdrew his divine sense.

"Junior Nephew Zhang, this matter is of utmost importance. Please wait here while I go and ask our Grandmaster for a decision."

After saying that, Sect Leader Qin vanished from the main hall in a flash.

Although he already knew from Xu Yuan that this matter was quite important, Yao Han still felt a tightness in his heart when he heard Sect Leader Qin say that he wanted to invite his grandmaster.

The grandmaster must be that Master Bailu.

Whether he lives or dies next depends on the will of this Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Yao Han admits that he is a coward who fears death, but he is not without backbone.

If the people of the Myriad Manifestations Temple disregard the reputation of the Six Sects and the friendship between old friends and forcefully attack him, even if they are Nascent Soul cultivators, he will make them suffer!

He didn't make any outward movements, but his divine sense was already connected to the few Heavenly Thunder Coins in the storage bag. With just a thought, he could detonate them immediately!

Come on, I, Yao, want to see how you decide.

In an instant, a surge of overwhelming magical power swept through the hall. Yao Han felt like a small boat adrift in a tsunami, powerless to resist, but he still managed to stand up straight.

Fortunately, this powerful fluctuation of magical energy only lasted for a moment before dissipating in an instant.

At the same time, Sect Leader Qin returned, accompanied by an old man with white hair and beard. He was slightly short, dressed in a simple dark gray Taoist robe, and his beard was so long that it almost reached the ground.

His appearance was exactly the same as the stone statue in Renxin Town; he was none other than the White Deer Immortal.

What puzzled Yao Han was that this White Deer Master did not look like he was about to die; on the contrary, he appeared radiant.

"This must be the young friend you mentioned earlier."

Master Bailu stroked his long beard and looked Yao Han over:

"Young friend, could you please take out Junior Nephew Xu's belongings so that this old man may have a look?"

The orders of a Nascent Soul cultivator are almost impossible to refuse, but Yao Han still withstood the immense pressure and said, "Wait a moment."

Sect Leader Qin and Venerable Bailu's expressions changed slightly.

"Master Uncle, Grandmaster."

Yao Han first bowed with his hands clasped in greeting:

"It's not that I'm unwilling to hand over this item, but the restriction on my soul has been troubling me for a long time. These past few days, I've been unable to sleep or eat properly, and even my cultivation has slowed down. I humbly request that you two masters remove the restriction. Once it's removed, I will gladly present the item given to me by Senior Xu with both hands."

Master Bailu and Sect Leader Qin were taken aback. They looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

Yao Han frowned slightly:

"What does Grandmaster mean by this?"

"Oh dear, if all the disciples in my temple were as cautious and meticulous as you, young friend, how could my Myriad Manifestations Temple not prosper!"

"Nephew Zhang, you've done well. However, while our Wanxiang Temple isn't a prestigious sect, it's not a den of dragons or tigers either. We wouldn't do something so ungrateful and discarding after we've served our purpose. The fact that you returned the items intact is already a great favor to Wanxiang Temple. We're too busy repaying you to coerce you."

"Furthermore, I must apologize on behalf of Senior Brother Xu. I suspect he was in a moment of desperation and had no other choice but to cast this curse on you. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you!"
