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

Li Dong had experienced Lin Du's wicked nature firsthand; he knew how to feign illness and weakness to gain women's pity, while in reality, every word he uttered was insidious and designed to trap them.

But now was the time to beg for help, so Li Dong could only humbly plead, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you are a direct disciple of the number one sect of the righteous path, surely you wouldn't stand by and watch me die, would you?"

He was a master of moral blackmail from the very first word, so Lin Du turned and left.

"I have no parents, therefore I have no morals."

Forcing her to stay would be suicidal; after all, this is her life, and wherever she is, that's where her life will go, if she wants to.

But clearly neither of them knew that Lin Du was related to the bizarre frost that had appeared in the desert, so they both shouted loudly.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, Fellow Daoist Lin, please wait!"

"Fellow Daoist Lin, one hundred spirit stones. If you save me, I will give you one hundred spirit stones."

When ordinary people talk about spirit stones, they usually mean low-grade spirit stones. Only high-grade and mid-grade spirit stones are specifically mentioned.

Lin Du stopped in his tracks. "One hundred?"

Ni Si gritted her teeth, "One thousand, to save two people, that's the most I can do."

Even at this moment, they didn't forget Li Dong.

Lin Du said "Okay" and then replied, "Alright."

As she spoke, she lightly flicked a wisp of spiritual energy from a distance, and the ice shell that had already spread to Ni Si's neck shattered from her heart with a crackling sound.

It was indeed thin ice.

If it were Luo Ze's millennia-old ice, she would have to resort to her fists.

She pondered for a long time that day before realizing that the solution wasn't in the Floating Life Fan, but in herself.

"That's it? It's that easy." Ni Si realized she was frozen stiff, but she could move now. "Won't it freeze again?"

Lin Du disliked fools. She stood still and said, "Alright, the money."

Ni Si's eyes darted around. "Just this once, and you're charging a thousand spirit stones? That's going too far. Fellow Daoist Lin is a disciple of the number one sect. Does he really need such a small amount of money?"

Lin Du hated people who took advantage of her even more. She nodded, "No, my father isn't the sect leader."

Ni Si was stunned.

Lin Du glanced at the still-frozen scumbag, gently rubbed the knuckle of his middle finger with the thumb of the hand holding the fan, and then turned to face the two of them directly.

"Fellow Daoist, I now have two choices. One, I can wait for you to give me the thousand; two, I can personally take everything you have, including the thousand. You choose one?"

Ni Si felt the biting cold and couldn't help but shiver.

The boy in front of her was clearly smiling, but she keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Ni Si is the sect leader's daughter, a pampered and elegant person who has been raised with the best things possible since childhood. She can see that beneath Lin Du's smiling face lies a chilling murderous aura.

But how is that possible?

How could a disciple of the Supreme Sect be such a person?

[Host, if you eliminate Bian Yuan before the mission is completed, the mission will be considered a failure.]

Lin Du paused in his hand holding the fan, lowered his eyes, and sighed softly, "What a pity."

She said those words so casually, without replying in her mind as usual.

Just from that one sentence, Ni Si felt the hairs on her body stand on end, and she took a step back.

"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."

Li Dong, still feeling the cold, quickly called out, "Sisi."

Ni Si suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly took out a thousand spirit stones. "You have to save him. I'll give them to you after you've saved him."

Lin Du's eyes slowly moved a little, turning his gaze to the frozen scum.

Then his smile widened, "Okay."

She raised her hand and then walked step by step behind Li Dong.

In just a few steps, Ni Si and Li Dong didn't dare to breathe, as if they had endured some kind of torture.

Until Lin Du suddenly made his move, two powerful energies struck the man's back, on both sides of his spine.

Then the ice shell shattered, and Li Dong's whole body was numb from the cold, so he didn't notice anything wrong for a moment.

Lin Du waved his sleeve, took the thousand spirit stones, and left.

She walked steadily, but in one step she reached the end of the frost.

Ni Si was stunned for a moment upon seeing this, then exclaimed incredulously, "How can a cultivator at the Qin Xin Realm teleport? What kind of footwork is that?"

Li Dong felt that his body was still cold. This coldness seemed to seep out from his internal organs, or more specifically, from his waist. It was bone-chilling.

The elders took everything in.

Ju Yuan glanced behind him without showing any emotion. To be honest, there were too many small sects and factions, and he didn't know whose children they were. Fortunately, the Heavenly Eye couldn't hear conversations, but could only see the actions of the three people.

If he wasn't mistaken, the reason Lin Du made those two moves afterward, specifically circling behind the male cultivator and striking near the sides of the man's third vertebra, was probably aimed at his kidneys.

The kidneys are closer to the back; otherwise, there would be no reason for Lin Du to go around to the back of the person to untie them.

Ju Yuan looked at the male cultivator's face again and vaguely remembered that he seemed to be the narrow-minded young man whom Lin Du had interfered with on the day of the disciple-acceptance ceremony.

As he thought about it, he felt a chill in his lower back.

Lin Du has a pure ice spirit root. He lives in Luoze, the coldest place in the world. If he had a trace of such extreme cold energy in his kidneys, it would really take three to five years to recover.

It's the most insidious method imaginable.

But when I thought about how he was that person's apprentice, it actually felt normal.

Lin Du was bored as he walked through the desert, and even felt that he should have some background music with him, like the theme song from Frozen, Let It Go.

If she were to sing it, wouldn't the CCTV system be able to cut that part out, since it can't be broadcast due to copyright issues?

After all, what she just did might not have seemed like a big deal to the person involved, but a high-level cultivator could see through her little tricks at a glance.

Ice Spirit Root is a mutated spiritual root, which Li Dong does not have. Her spiritual energy is injected into her kidneys, so even if she is not crippled, she probably won't last long.

For a man, this is probably worse than death.

As Lin Du walked along, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Desert is not right.

After she put away the fan, she stopped using spiritual power to enhance it, and the thin ice that had initially grown had melted.

But the transformation was exceptionally bizarre.

The areas that were first transformed were crisscrossed and orderly.

Lin Du didn't notice it at first, but later, when he released his divine sense to confirm that the two unlucky things hadn't followed, he noticed this strange sign.

It's like... something beneath the desert.

Man-made things.

The square shape resembles water pipes and electrical circuits that were laid out in advance during the renovation.

Lin Du's mind worked quickly. This desert was full of unknowns, but it had once occupied such a large area of ​​this small world. It was a collapsed small world. The books she had read said that small worlds where the Heavenly Dao collapsed usually yielded more relics of cultivators. However, there were very few relics on the map of this small world. Most of them were spiritual plants and demonic beasts.

What if the ruins of the monks were in the desert?
