I only want to win over the fairy.

What kind of expression would someone have when they realize how much they've given to the other person, only to find it's too late? It's a pity we can't see what happens next.

"This is too twisted." Bai Yi quickly shook his head. He wasn't a fool, how could he have such twisted thoughts? It was really too scary.

The idea of ​​chasing after one's husband to the point of despair and being filled with regret is merely a way to satisfy one's anger at "unrewarded efforts" and a twisted sense of satisfaction from giving up. Such a terrible thought is not applicable to oneself.

Although Bai Yi sometimes desperately wants something, he would never resort to desperate measures that would leave the other person with lifelong regrets. After all, life is precious, and it would be foolish to sacrifice one's life to make someone regret it.

However, it's quite fun to play the game.

[This simulation has ended. The evaluation for this simulation is: those who ran away halfway through have nothing to say about it.]

Please choose one of the following rewards:

[① Exclusive Trait: Death from Overwork (Having this trait increases the probability of encountering events that require your attention and enhances your mental strength, greatly ensuring that you will not die prematurely from overwork.)]

[②, The blood-stained Moonlit Sword.]

【③, Talent - Frailty (A special talent formed due to your premature death, reducing your health and physique, thereby enhancing your charm and making you more likely to evoke pity from others.)】

What a stupid reward.

Death from overwork occurs when you increase your workload. Although there may be a reward of improved mental strength, the increased workload can be very distressing.

As for the Moonfrost Sword... isn't that Jiang Yuehan's weapon?

It's stained with blood, it doesn't look like a good thing at all. Putting aside the trouble that would be brought to me if someone saw this weapon, the bloodstains alone are creepy. Pass!

The third one...

I absolutely do not want to choose this path. I do not want to be a sickly cultivator. You know, the last sickly genius swordsman would vomit blood at the drop of a hat and then died young.

"Choose death from overwork; at least you'll have a mental boost."

It only increases the probability of encountering problems. As long as you don't deal with these problems, it's like getting a free boost to your mental strength, which is practically free!

After choosing the reward, Bai Yi immediately felt very energetic, as if he had inexhaustible energy and felt extremely happy.

Oh no, now I can't even take a nap.

Feeling refreshed, Bai Yi was eager to find something to do, but playing games was getting boring. After thinking it over, he decided to go to the library to find a suitable cultivation technique for Su Qingyu.

I vaguely remember the "Yin-Yang Weak Water Scripture" and it should be easy to find.

.........

The aura of an unfamiliar imperial weapon.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was sleeping in her cave, suddenly opened her eyes. She rarely went out and usually stayed in this carefully crafted cave, which was secluded in Tianxuan Peak. Although there was nothing in the cave except a bed, it was good that no one would disturb her.

Once you're under the covers, nobody can find you, which is a bit boring.

In fact, she also wanted to expand her cave dwelling and add many things she liked, but unfortunately, this was too difficult for her.

She hates communicating with people, especially strangers, as it makes her extremely nervous. So she always has a cold expression to keep people at arm's length and let them know she's not someone to mess with, so they won't talk to her.

Even if they can talk to people, they usually don't use more than five words.

Unless absolutely necessary, she would not casually meet with the elders of the sect to discuss sect matters, as those people would not understand the meaning of her words, so they would basically not approach her.

But now...

The aura of an unfamiliar imperial weapon appeared within the sect. Should I go and communicate with the elders?

Once the exchange takes place, the elders and grand elders will all be there...

The thought of sitting in the main seat, with a large group of people standing respectfully in two rows below, watching her intently and waiting for her to speak, sent a chill down her spine.

No, this is too much to ask.

Why don't we go find this unfamiliar imperial weapon and see what's going on?

If there's no problem, then leave it alone; if there is a problem, then seal it with the sect's imperial weapon.

But if I were to bring the Imperial Weapon with me, it would inevitably attract the attention of the other elders, who would then ask me questions. How would I answer them?

A series of choices flashed through her mind, making her feel as if she were standing in a vast sea of ​​people, unsure of where to go, wavering and feeling utterly helpless, unable to make a decision.

Why is this such a troublesome thing...?

I don't want to go out, I don't want to meet those elders I don't know, and I especially don't want to talk to them!

Can't these troublesome things and people just stand obediently in front of us like enemies, without any communication, and we can simply draw our swords and cut them down?

Dilemma, distress, helplessness...

╥﹏╥...

A mix of emotions swirled within her, and in the end, she gave up thinking and wrote a message to her beloved apprentice.

—Imperial Weapons.

After sending the message, she thought for a moment and then sent a new message.

——Hot springs, spiritual fish.

If it were the elders, they probably wouldn't understand what I meant, but my good disciple Bai Yi should be able to understand, so I'll just let him handle it for me.

Hopefully, the unfamiliar aura of the imperial weapon is just a temporary probe at Tianxuan Peak, and it will back down after discovering me, otherwise it will really become very troublesome.

Thinking this, she wrapped herself up tightly in the sheet, leaving only her head sticking out.

In this degenerate and morally bankrupt society, only the bedsheets left by my father offer a sliver of warmth.

On the other side, Bai Yi, who was planning to go to the library to find cultivation techniques, suddenly received two messages of unknown meaning, which made him type out a series of question marks.

What is the connection between Imperial Weapon, Hot Spring, and Spirit Fish?

Looking at the two messages his master sent him, he suddenly understood the value of the "death from overwork" trait. He had just obtained this trait and immediately had a mission, and it was that old woman's mission. It was really troublesome.

So what exactly is the meaning of this mission?

The first message I received, "[Imperial Weapon]", meant that I should borrow an Imperial Weapon from within the sect.

That's not quite right. As the sect leader of the Xuantian Sect, that old woman could have easily gone to get it herself. It would be strange if the elders had given it to her. So it wasn't an imperial weapon borrowed from within the sect.

If it weren't for borrowing from within the sect...

I see! I get it now!

Could it be that some new imperial weapon has recently appeared in Central Continent, and I need to investigate the information myself?

That's how it is. Since that's the case, then I'm not worried anymore. After all, I'm best at investigations. I can just slack off for a few days and then say that I investigated seriously and found no clues.

After all, you're expecting someone at the Qi Refining Realm to help you investigate the emergence of an Emperor Weapon. Why don't you be bolder and expect the Emperor Weapon to just come to your house for you to refine!

The hot springs and spirit fish are easy to understand; they just want her to have some fun, and that's enough, since she only has a three-minute attention span anyway.

Chapter 16 Beware of the Corruption of Mass Consciousness

"The Yin-Yang Weak Water Scripture? Why are you researching this instead of practicing perfectly good Emperor-level cultivation techniques?"

"Is this prepared for the Sect Master's newly accepted disciple? ...Then you'd better work harder. You haven't broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage yet after so long. If this continues, the Sect Master will give up on you sooner or later."

Inside the Sutra Repository, a fairy with a languid expression leaned back in her chair, looking at Bai Yi, the top disciple of Tianxuan Peak, who had come to collect the cultivation manual with some surprise.

She had long, flowing black hair, which was tied up in a bun with a phoenix hairpin. Her hair clung to her delicate face as if it were damp with sweat. Her slightly protruding pink tongue traced across her soft, red lips. One hand was manipulating a brush in front of her to register and copy books, while the other hand was pressed against her left cheek. Her sleeve covered her forearm, but revealed a rounded side of her arm under her armpit, the edge of which was like a vortex overflowing with full, snowy white flesh.

Her breasts, which were prominently displayed, were covered by a white top. Her proud fullness seemed to be about to burst through the delicate white fabric. Above her breasts, a dark purple lace trim adorned her shapely bosom. Her full and exquisite figure meandered downwards, converging at her slender waist. The slit in her top opened up her rounded hips. She crossed her legs, and at the point where they were pressed tightly together, a triangular fold could be seen. Her plump thighs pressed down on her calves, creating a distorted and overflowing effect.

Her languid demeanor, combined with her alluring image, makes her resemble a homebody who is completely unaware of her own charm.

Despite her alluring figure, the subtle pressure emanating from her spoke volumes: anyone who dared to challenge her should be prepared for their demise.

Yunzhai is the head of the Sutra Repository and also the fifth elder of the Xuantian Sect.

Bai Yi naturally dared not be negligent towards such a senior: "It's not that I want to use it, but my master recently took in a new junior sister, so I came to find a suitable cultivation method for her."

Upon learning that the other party was seeking cultivation techniques for his junior sister, Yunzhai's expression became complicated, as if he were caught up in something he couldn't understand.

As a disciple of the sect leader, shouldn't the sect leader provide me with cultivation techniques?

She had heard about the new disciple of Tianxuan Peak who had recently become quite popular. It was said that she was a prodigy whose talent was far superior to Jiang Yuehan's. Logically speaking, such a genius should be personally trained, with cultivation techniques, resources, and cave dwellings specially prepared. Why would she need to come to the Scripture Pavilion to get cultivation techniques to practice?

"Little Bai Yi, I don't know what the sect leader is planning, but if you want to prepare a cultivation technique for your junior sister, I think it would be best to teach her your technique."

"The Yin-Yang Weak Water Scripture is indeed good, created by a powerful being at the peak of the Dao Integration Realm. However, your Heavenly Profound Immortal Scripture is the natal cultivation method of the Xuan Tian Emperor, a path to the Emperor Realm. Instead of practicing a good Emperor Realm cultivation method, you choose a secondary cultivation method. This is taking the long way around."

"I think you should go back and ask your master for his opinion."

Despite being an elder, Yunzhai's voice was quite gentle. She showed no condescension towards Bai Yi, a disciple with a less-than-stellar reputation, but rather treated him with the concern of a caring older sister.

Unlike the sect disciples who could only see the surface, Yunzhai, as a sect elder, knew very well how important Bai Yi was.

As for how important it was, all she could say was that Bai Yi had attended the Xuan Tian Sect Elders' Meetings in place of the Sect Master for the past three years.

—If I could ask that old woman, I would have done so long ago.

Bai Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart. His "good master" hadn't given him any extra instructions, and had just asked him to teach his junior sister. This really put him in a difficult position.

However, since they chose to obtain this cultivation technique, they must have their own plans.

Bai Yi cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Elder Yun, the path of cultivation is inherently fraught with difficulties. It is impossible to reach the Great Dao of Heaven with just one cultivation technique. I will naturally give her the 'Heavenly Profound Immortal Dao Scripture,' but on this basis, I would like to find another method that suits her own attributes."

"I see." Upon hearing this, Yunzhai was relieved. Using the Emperor's Path Technique as one's natal technique and other techniques as auxiliary means is indeed a good path.

As she spoke, she moved her fingers, and a jade slip fell from the top of the Sutra Pavilion, hovering in front of Bai Yi. Several large characters were engraved on it: "Yinji Weak Water Sutra".

"Thank you, Uncle-Master." After receiving the cultivation technique, Bai Yi also wanted to tell the other party about the information his master had given him: "Besides that, there is one more thing. According to my master, there is a high possibility that an unknown imperial weapon will be born soon."

A qualified worker should learn to delegate tasks to others.

Investigating imperial weapons is something I definitely can't do myself, so informing the sect elders is the safest and easiest way.

"Is this true!" Upon hearing that the Imperial Weapon had appeared, Yunzhai's lazy expression vanished without a trace, replaced by a serious and earnest look. The faint pressure emanating from his body reached a terrifying level at this moment.

However, the next moment, she realized her situation and quickly withdrew her frenzied spiritual power, waving her hand: "I understand, I will inform the other elders about this."

Since he is the sect leader, there is no possibility of him making a mistake.

Since the sect leader chose to have Bai Yi tell them about this, it must be because he hopes that the Xuantian Sect will try to seize ownership of that imperial weapon in the future!

Yunzhai didn't linger and quickly disappeared from the Sutra Repository; she had to go and inform the other elders.

Having successfully completed a main quest and a side quest, Bai Yi was happily planning to return to Tianxuan Peak to begin training his junior sister. Just as he was about to leave the Scripture Pavilion, a white figure appeared at the entrance.
