The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

Lin Du raised this question not because she didn't know it herself; she had the script in her hands, so of course she knew.

Xia Tianwu was oblivious to worldly affairs and focused solely on medical research. If it weren't for these kids gathering together to discuss things, she wouldn't have listened to them.

Lin Du wanted to make sure Xia Tianwu remembered that Wu Xi had a white moonlight, so that the grandson wouldn't pretend to be an innocent little wolf to deceive her later.

Yan Qing, who came from a family of cultivators in Sifang City and was not far from Guiyuan Sect, said, "I have heard of this. It seems to be a branch of a local family of cultivators named Cui Yujun. Because she was suppressed by the main line and had few resources in the family, she left home and joined Guiyuan Sect. She won first place in the outer disciple competition and became famous. That's how she entered the inner sect."

Lin Du was somewhat surprised to hear the admiration and praise in Yan Qing's words.

This "white moonlight" has the script of a powerful and arrogant female lead!

"However... I didn't expect that this person would actually shield Wu Xi from the tribulation." Yan Qing picked up his teacup and shook his head. "His golden core is shattered, and his physical body has probably suffered a lot of injuries as well. The cultivation resources of major sects are always concentrated on those with hope, so I'm afraid this person is ruined."

Lin Du also shook his head, "Being love-struck can be very harmful."

Yuan Ye scratched his head. "Junior Uncle, what is 'love-struck'?"

"It means... that once you fall in love, you put all your heart and soul into your lover, use all your energy to maintain the relationship, blindly ignore all the other person's shortcomings and actions that hurt you, have no bottom line, no principles, completely ignore and abandon yourself, and even risk everything for your lover."

Mo Lin added, "He even sacrificed his Golden Core."

Lin Du clapped his hands, "Well done, you deserve it."

I'll never get over the "Golden Elixir" thing.

All six shook their heads in unison. "We can't understand it. How could anyone sacrifice their Golden Core and future for someone else?"

Yuan Ye thought for a moment, "Maybe Wu Xi is too weak. She couldn't withstand the Tribulation of the Three Nine Heavens and was really going to be struck dead. Love is deep and urgent."

"Indeed, the Heavenly Tribulation is the greatest test for cultivators to advance, like walking through the gates of hell. Every year, many cultivators are struck dead by lightning," Xia Tianwu added. "However, you are all exceptionally talented, blessed with spiritual herbs, and have no shortage of resources. You will definitely be able to successfully overcome the tribulation."

"But Junior Uncle is known for his frail health, so he shouldn't be unable to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation," Ni Jinxuan asked.

Lin Du's eyes were kind. "Silly child, when your junior uncle was undergoing his tribulation, he had the only Heavenly Heart Lotus in the Dongming Realm, as well as the Ningbi Pill and the Golden Crow Profound Origin Pill to continuously repair his body."

She swims in the coldest rapids in the world every day, and takes a bowl of tonic before meals. Her flesh is so hard that it's practically rock hard to pinch; you could probably use her directly as medicine if you grabbed her.

"Wu Xi is still too weak. Junior Uncle can take on two of them by himself," the crowd concluded.

Lin Du, who could take on two opponents at once, held his teacup with a slight tremor: "Stop gloating, she's just a one-punch man, she doesn't know any martial arts at all."

After the group finished eating six roast ducks and a whole table of dishes, their bellies were full. They stood up and lined up like little ducks with protruding bellies as they walked down the aisle. Just then, they overheard a group of people asking the waiter who had advanced to the Supreme Sect level that day.

The waiter scratched his head, pushed away the spirit stones he had given as a tip, and said, "I don't know, maybe it was some Taoist priest."

Lin Du and Mo Lin exchanged a glance. "A spy from Fusifang?"

Mo Lin nodded, straightening the cloak he had put on again. "I'm afraid so."

Last time, the spy from Fusifang tried to take advantage of the chaos, but this time he's learned his lesson and is only gathering information; they can't actually arrest him.

Lin Du suddenly thought of his own net worth, "Speaking of which, I wonder how much I'm worth now?"

"I've heard a little about this. It seems that our current information is about two thousand spirit stones." Yuan Ye blinked. "However, the Record of Anecdotes in the Cultivation World has published the story of Master Yin Zhong of the Flying Star Sect being exposed by his eldest disciple Tao Xian for practicing evil ways.

"The higher-ups said that Yin Zhong committed suicide after slaughtering fifteen disciples, and reliable internal sources confirmed that Yin Zhong also committed two major mistakes."

"One is that Lin Du, the number one on the Qingyun Ranking, was harmed and will soon die; the other is that the spiritual bones of Mo Lin, the eldest disciple of the Wushang Sect, were removed."

Yuan Ye chuckled, "I can already imagine what the first piece of news in the Chronicles of the Cultivation World will be the day after tomorrow. It will definitely be that the number one on the Azure Cloud Ranking has survived a near-death experience and successfully advanced to the Cloud Soaring Realm. Then, many people will be curious about how Junior Uncle advanced, and his value will surely rise again!"

Lin Du sighed, "You're really suited to writing about anecdotes from the cultivation world."

Royal family members are all skilled in using euphemisms and subtle language.

After accompanying Lin Du to buy the Dharma robes and then purchasing writing brushes and ink, the group returned to the sect and went to find their respective masters.

It was already dark when Lin Du went straight to the library instead of returning to his cave. He began to diligently write down the large characters and talismans he owed Feng Chao and Feng Yi.

Feng Chao asked her to write twenty essays, and Lin Du practiced ten with each hand. Feng Yi simply wrote one hundred with each hand.

By the time she finished writing, the light from the luminous pearl on the wall inside the room was already shining brightly. She put down her pen and looked out the window.

Today is the second day of the second lunar month, the day the dragon raises its head; there should be unusual phenomena in the stars in the sky.

She suddenly thought of the Flying Star Sect's destiny; they were fortune tellers who observed the stars. As for Yan Ye, he probably couldn't directly see the real starry sky.

Relying on his memories from his dream, Lin Du found the peak of the Supreme Sect. It was an isolated peak, full of jagged rocks, not suitable for building grand halls or caves. The peak could only accommodate two people at most.

The wind is strong on the high mountain, but it is very close to night. The clear night sky is poured down on the earth, as if you could reach out and pluck the stars.

She looked up and found the Azure Dragon Constellation, then poked Yan Ye's wisp of divine thought.

Yan Ye asked irritably, "What's up? Back from playing?"

Lin Du's face stung a little from the wind, but he was too lazy to explain. "I'll give you my eyes."

Yan Ye: ? What nonsense are you talking about?

But he quickly realized that it was to connect him to Lin Du's vision.

Lin Du seemed to be at a high place at this moment, looking towards the east, where the body of the Azure Dragon constellation was still hidden below the horizon, with only its horns showing.

From a distance, it looks like a giant dragon just raising its head.

Whether it was the clarity of my young mind or the fact that the sky had truly been cleansed, it was so dark and deep that the cold stars seemed so bright and shining.

Yan Ye stared for a long time until Lin Du looked across the entire sky and then began to look down at the human world.

The child's eyes were drawn to the vast mountain range of the Supreme Sect, with its golden palaces and towers, and a corner of Dingjiu City in the distance. Brilliant jewel-like lights were scattered throughout the mountains, and the distant city was ablaze with endless lights.

It's surprisingly warm.

Because the night is deep and dark, the warmth and brightness of human life seem all the more precious.

Yan Ye had never felt the night so breathtaking.

The night, which was once just an illusion before his eyes, now has real weight, and the light has a distinct meaning.

The next instant, his perspective suddenly reversed 180 degrees, and then his viewpoint rapidly moved away from the sky, with jagged rocks and vegetation flashing by.

"Lin Du!!! Are you crazy???"

Yan Ye was startled, and a huge roar exploded within Lin Du's consciousness.

"What are you doing? Jumping off a mountain?"

The next instant, the fall in my vision suddenly slowed down, and then stabilized again.

Lin Du casually found a giant pine tree and lay down on it, saying, "Let Master experience the feeling of freefall. I'll consider this a leap off a cliff in my life."

Her voice still carried a hint of laughter, but her heart was pounding rapidly after surviving.

Before, I wanted to jump but didn't dare. Now I can fly and experience the feeling of weightlessness when falling from a height.

"Isn't this what it means to fall hard after climbing high?"

Yan Ye could only curse at her, "You little lunatic, are you looking for death?"

"I don't seek death; I only think about living when I'm about to die." Lin Du sat up, and the broad pine branch beneath him trembled slightly.

In the final moments of her tribulation today, she truly felt that she was going to die.

The helplessness, despair, and the feeling of being pulled in so deeply nearly drove her to the brink of collapse.

Lin Du looked up at the sky again. "Master, wait for me to come back and practice body techniques."

She can now finally feel the power and freedom of a cultivator, which is what she has always wanted and the meaning of her existence here.

"Come back? Where are you going?" Yan Ye's heart couldn't take his crazy little apprentice.

"My second nephew said he needs to see me, and it's related to my physical cultivation," Lin Du said, flying towards Tianrui Peak where his fifth senior brother was.

Xia Tianwu lived alone in a bamboo house at the foot of the mountain. He was not surprised to see Lin Du and took out a book called "The True Secrets of Female Alchemy".

She closed the door, patted Lin Du's head, and said gently, "You're fourteen this year, almost at the age when faith arrives before practice. It's time to teach you how to slay the red dragon."

Lin Du's mind raced, and he let out a yell.
