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

When Lin Du came out, it was daytime. As soon as he heard the noise at the door, Xia Tianwu had already come over.

She was carrying a bamboo sieve with strange grass seeds that had been dried in the shade. Her features were vivid, and she walked over under the shade of green trees, just like a clear spring in the forest, quiet and refreshing.

"Junior Uncle? You've finished your seclusion? That was fast."

Lin Du looked up. "It's not fast, it's been three years."

Three years may pass in the blink of an eye for a cultivator, but for Lin Du, it is not a short time.

"I'm almost finished learning too, but recently another wave of demons has come. This time it seems they weren't driven out, but rather the demons launched a planned invasion. Mo Lin is currently stationed at the border of Zhongzhou."

Xia Tianwu saw Lin Du's gaze sweeping around the courtyard and began to explain.

Lin Du's brow twitched slightly. "A demonic invasion?"

Xia Tianwu nodded. "My master and junior sister are still on the northern border. It is said that demons are also invading there in large numbers."

"Understood. I'll go meet up with Mo Lin first and deal with those demons."

"Hey, Junior Uncle, let me take your pulse first!" Xia Tianwu stopped her.

Lin Du instinctively wanted to run away, but then he remembered that he was almost fully recovered, and even the palms of his hands had regained their color, so he stayed where he was and let her take his pulse.

Xia Tian took the pulse carefully, his expression becoming more serious. He finally came to a conclusion: "Indeed, there is no yin energy or chronic ailment left. The heart pulse sounds normal, but the internal examination still reveals it to be broken. The yang energy is somewhat excessive. Although it has been refined, it is slightly too strong and needs to be cooled down."

Lin Du cautiously probed, "So, am I better or not?"

Summer replied without answering, "I'm better, but not completely better. It'll be over soon, and I still need to take medicine."

Lin Du looked bewildered. "I have to take medicine again?"

"Junior Uncle seems fine most of the time, but he's prone to serious injuries. He's like a fragile person. He can move around without any problems, but once he gets injured, he's easily seriously injured and recovers slowly. He can't stop taking his medicine."

The light that had just ignited in Lin Du's eyes shattered just like that.

"Junior Uncle should be used to it by now, so why is he still so bitter and resentful? He's still young..." Xia Tianwu had gotten over his inner turmoil and no longer completely regarded Junior Uncle as an elder, but rather as his patient, habitually taking advantage of Lin Du.

Lin Du fell for it as expected. "It's just medicine, I'm used to it. Here you go!"

In the summer, one should go and prepare medicine without being satisfied. The medicine is most effective and the recovery is faster when it is hot.

Lin Du was given medication for three days in a numbing manner before he finally arrived at the southwestern front.

Mo Lin alone was already worth hundreds or even thousands of people, but facing the greatly increased strength of the demons who were clearly bloodthirsty, he was somewhat overwhelmed.

The people weren't injured, but they were on the verge of collapse, and a lot of evil spirits had slipped through.

His longsword was already drawn, and the violent lightning intercepted many demons. Behind him were many Flying Star Sect cultivators who were dealing with the demons that had broken through Mo Lin's one-man battle line one by one.

"Junior Uncle, you set up the formation, I'll go help!" Xia Tianwu knew early on that Lin Du was there to set up the defensive line, so without saying a word, he rushed to the front.

Lin Du responded and decisively forced out a zero-point line. In the southwestern border where ice and snow were rarely seen, an ice and snow line appeared. Sharp icicles suddenly shot out from the ground, directly piercing the demon on the line from bottom to top with the power of ice and snow.

"Anyone who crosses this line will die."

The calm voice was amplified by spiritual energy, causing all the demons to freeze for a moment.

"That's... a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Qian Yuan Realm??" The elder of the Flying Star Sect was stunned for a moment, gripped the magic weapon in his hand, looked up at the demon that was hesitant to move forward because of this line, and suddenly felt a little more confident.

"A cold star descends from the heavens, capable of repelling millions of evil spirits! Flying Star Sect disciples, all proceed to the front lines and hold this line!!"

The person who was once called the "Star of Mars" by the Flying Star Sect's "elders" no longer cared about that inspiring, hastily made-up statement, and was already carrying things to set up a defensive formation.

The Gu villages in the southwest are scattered, and the towns are a mixed bag. The Flying Star Sect has very few array cultivators, making it difficult to build a defensive array for such a long border.

Mo Lin held a long sword in one hand, his figure constantly shifting as he raised his hand to block a group of demons. Sensing that his spiritual energy was about to run out, he hurriedly took out a Spirit Restoration Pill from his storage ring with his other hand.

There were more than a dozen bottles when it arrived, but now there's only one left.

He stuffed a handful of food into his mouth, not even bothering to use the refining technique. Just as he was about to rush forward, a crimson sword aura swept away the demon in front of him with a serpentine arc. A series of sizzling sounds followed, and demonic energy surged out instantly.

The sword energy and power were so overwhelming that Mo Lin's eyelids, which he could barely lift, suddenly regained strength, and his eyes opened wide.

"Junior Sister!!"

A figure in moon-white robes blocked his way. "Senior brother, step back. Refine the medicinal power first, and leave it to me."

As darkness fell and dawn broke, and the night passed, the cultivators were utterly exhausted when a golden arc of light rose from behind their battle lines. This sight brought tears to their eyes even more than the sunrise they had just witnessed.

Just as the golden light was about to fade, a pounced demon caused it to shine again. With a crackling explosion, the cultivators turned around and saw that the demon had been blasted by the power of the defensive array, its demonic energy billowing, clearly indicating that it was about to perish.

Wow.

Lin Du stood in front of the battle line and called to Mo Lin and Xia Tianwu, "Let's go. We have a defensive line now. If the Flying Star Sect cultivators can't deal with those intruding demons, then our rescue will have been in vain."

They came silently and left just as quickly as the wind.

The spiritual energy here is still abundant; it would be even more difficult in the border areas where the spiritual energy is sparse. Without the support of major sects, it would be easier for demons to break through.

In the small courtyard of Phoenix Town, Granny Ma thought that the two people had left and would never come back, but to her surprise, they returned the next day. However, they did not treat this place as their own territory as before, randomly setting up a room and entering. Instead, they sat in the courtyard to calm their nerves.

"Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?" Granny Ma said with obvious disdain.

Xia Tianwu spoke first, "You are also my master, how could I not come to pay my respects?"

Granny Ma snorted, "You righteous disciples are all about rules and regulations, always putting on airs."

Lin Du raised his eyebrows. "When I set up the formation, I made all the chieftains on the border swear an oath to control the people in their villages and prevent the Gu worms from flowing out and harming people at will. Otherwise, I will not include their Gu villages when I set up the formation, and this rule must be passed down to every chieftain."

It would be troublesome for everyone to swear an oath. With someone supervising, if something goes wrong, you can find the leader, which makes it much easier to manage.

Granny Ma's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this. She tilted her head and pursed her lips. "What does this have to do with me?"

Lin Du stood up. "We're really leaving now. This time it's really over."

Granny Ma waved her hand to shoo them away, "Hurry up and go, do you expect me to throw you a farewell feast?"

The three of them stood up, stood side by side, and solemnly performed a Taoist salute.

"Take care. If you are in urgent need, please immediately contact us or the Supreme Sect. We will definitely come to your aid." Mo Lin earnestly promised, "We, the disciples of the Supreme Sect, will never forget any teachings and kindness."

Granny Ma stood there, her body hunched over, looking at the three figures bent so low they were almost parallel to the ground. Her eyes flickered slightly, and after a long while, she said, "I don't need your skills. Just remember to send me a copy of the book when you finish writing it, Xia girl."

Summer replied quickly, "Don't worry!"

Mo Lin spoke again, "You are an elder, and we will send you gifts and letters during important festivals and events. If you are willing, you can also come and visit our Dingjiu City."

Grandma Ma was not used to it. "What elders? I have no children. What kind of messed-up relationship is this? You all want me to give you money?"

Both of their faces flushed red. Lin Du turned around and waved his hand, "Then you wait here. I'm telling you, if they don't have you on their desk when they're handling things, I'll come and invite you myself."

So don't rush to think about drinking the Styx water.

Granny Ma watched Lin Du walk away with a flourish, then suddenly turned around and glanced at the chair she had arranged crookedly.

The little brat left her a bunch of stuff to sort out before he left.
