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

The four of them entered the pagoda at the same time.

Almost instantly, the three auras that were just beside him disappeared.

Lin Du instantly realized that the four of them had entered different spaces.

The interior of this pagoda is composed of various complex formations, so it won't let anyone who enters wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.

Treasures possess a spirit and will choose their own masters.

Lin Du couldn't tell which floor he was on, so he could only look at the scene in front of him.

Strangely, what appears to be a tower made of glazed bricks and stones on the outside now seems to be nested within another structure.

The walls were made of cinnabar, the pillars of green iron, and eight magical treasures were arranged in the positions of the Eight Trigrams, covered by a thin layer of mist.

Lin Du spread her divine sense outwards, approaching each of the three in succession, but they all repelled her divine sense.

If Lingbao could speak, it would probably say something like, "Thank you, but I'll have to decline."

It wasn't until the fourth one that the divine sense faintly responded.

Lin Du tried the fifth one, and it responded as well. The spirit treasure, like a small hook, tugged at her consciousness.

Then came the sixth, then the seventh. Lin Du felt like a scumbag, casting a wide net, catching many fish, and choosing the best one to follow.

Five out of the eight responded, with the fifth being particularly proactive. When she went to probe other things, the aura of the magical treasure blocked her way, as if it wanted to wave its little handkerchief and call out, "Don't go, sir!"

Lin Du quickly realized why it was blocking him like that.

It was a line, or rather, it wasn't just a line.

Upon closer inspection, the crimson thread was densely covered with two kinds of runes, one in gold and one in black. Lin Du had spent more than half a year in the library, reading many miscellaneous books, yet he still couldn't discern the material of this thread.

Lin Du glanced at the last folding fan, which resonated strongly with his soul.

I hesitated for a moment.

"That's so awful, so awful," Lin Du muttered softly, swaying back and forth.

Just as she was about to reach out and pick up the fan to examine it, the silk thread suddenly moved, wrapping around her wrist like a swimming fish, and at that moment, her hand also grasped the handle of the fan.

In the blink of an eye, before Lin Du could react, she sensed a spatial force. She had met the conditions and was spat out by the Treasure Pavilion.

In just a moment, she and Feng Chao, who was waiting outside, looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lin Du looked down at the folding fan in his hand, then at his wrist, where a densely woven red cord of pure gold was wrapped around it.

Her pupils suddenly trembled, uncertain, she looked again.

When did this thing get all the way up here?

Lin Du looked up and glanced at his senior sister, the sect leader, then weakly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. "Senior Sister, would you believe me if I said it seduced me on its own?"

What a scumbag's statement! Even Lin Du himself found it hard to believe.

To everyone's surprise, Feng Chao nodded, "I believe you."

"I actually hadn't even chosen it before it kicked me out, I can pay back..." Lin Du was about to continue explaining, speaking very quickly, but after his brain processed what Feng Chao had said, he stammered, "Huh?"

Feng Chao smiled, "You don't need to panic. Although the treasure pavilion has a restriction that only allows one person to take one,..."

"But the fan in your hand can only be considered half a primordial spiritual treasure. It is not incomplete in itself, but in lacking the matching object to unleash its true power."

"And that thing on your wrist, I vaguely remember it. According to the Treasure Pavilion Records, this thing clearly has the aura of a celestial artifact, but no one knows what it is for. It is probably the remains of a celestial artifact, or perhaps just the tassel of a sword, or perhaps some kind of binding material."

"So, half a spiritual treasure and a fragment don't count as you breaking the rules."

Lin Du yelled, "So you mean I have to pick up two pieces of junk?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the folding fan in her hand. Before Feng Chao could comfort her, she quickly fastened the folding fan to the red rope and covered the two spiritual objects with the hand holding the folding fan.

"The child is still young, just pretend you didn't hear that."

Feng Chao: ...So you get to say all the good and bad things?

Lin Du didn't actually think she was picking up junk; she was just glib and habitually made sarcastic remarks.

What others saw as junk, she saw as treasure.

When she was eleven, she would quietly wash and sew up unwanted teddy bears, and even make clothes for them. Later, she could fix toy cars with broken arms and legs, and nightlights that didn't work.

Lin Du had no one to buy her these toys, so she learned to repair these broken things herself and turn them into her own treasures.

Feng Chao looked at his junior sister, who was holding something with her eyes down. Today she was wearing a light blue narrow-sleeved long robe. Because she was engrossed in calculations and drawing every day, she was afraid of getting ink stains, so she also wore leather wristbands. The usual body cultivator's outfit still looked unrestrained and unconventional on her.

She was tall and slender, like a distant mountain shrouded in mist. When she lowered her eyes, there were faint dark circles under them, perhaps just shadows cast by her eyelashes, no one could tell.

She was always like that, seemingly detached from human affairs, coldly observing the world, aloof and weary, her eyes unfocused even when she grinned and joked.

Lin Du looked up at Feng Chao and smiled, "Actually, I'm the one who benefits. In the future, I'll collect more good treasures for the sect to put in the treasure pavilion."

Feng Chao simply thought she was young and liked to joke.

The other three people came out one after another. Ni Jinxuan held a delicate long whip in her hand, which was rolled up and hung at her waist. It made a tinkling sound when she walked.

Yan Qing carried a large black iron sword, his expression complex. He always dressed like a scholar to look more refined, never expecting to be so close to this sword.

Yuan Ye, on the other hand, was quite happy, smiling as he carried something shaped like an erhu.

Lin Du's brow twitched, and he asked again uncertainly, "What is this...?"

"Xi Qin," Yuan Ye blinked, "this is actually a low-grade spiritual treasure too."

Yuan Ye was able to enter the Supreme Sect because, in addition to his superior spiritual root, he was also a descendant of royalty and had the protection of dragon energy.

Now, this member of the royal family is holding an erhu, enjoying himself so much that he doesn't look like a member of the royal family at all.

Lin Du suddenly felt that she wasn't so unreliable after all. She patted Yuan Ye on the shoulder and said, "You know how to play the zither."

Yuan Ye not only knew how to do it, but also wanted to perform it for his junior uncle on the spot.

Lin Du raised his hand, "I'll politely decline."

She was afraid that the child would send her away.

The group of children who received the treasure happily went back to play by themselves.

Lin Du was also one of those children who received a treasure, two treasures at that.

She returned to Luoze, and Yan Ye sat on the Luoze as usual, only moving once when Lin Du came.

Every time was the same, and Lin Du even suspected that he wasn't waiting to ascend, but was destined to dissolve into the boundless ice and snow.

If it were me, I would never stay in one place for so long, doing nothing or even moving.

"What wonderful treasure did you get?" Yan Ye opened his eyes.

Lin Du felt that it didn't really matter whether this person opened his eyes or not, but his eyes were indeed very beautiful, with gray pupils and white eyelashes, like a heartless and desireless wild wolf in the wilderness.

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she asked Yan Ye, "Master, you wouldn't happen to be a member of the Heartless Path, would you?"
