Fairy, help me cultivate.

Mingzhan paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course. May I ask your honorific titles, fellow Daoists?"

"Yun Li".

"Chen Yao".

Yun Li rarely interacted with people outside the sect, so she only mentioned her name. Ming Zhan and the others did not know that she came from Hanyu Peak, so they regarded the two of them as ordinary disciples of Kuanglu Sect.

While instructing his disciples to help the townspeople, Mingzhan conjured several willow leaves, their green shadows fluttering and slicing through the earth dragon.

A moment later, she handed Chen Yao a round, blue stone containing cloudy white chalcedony.

"This is the inner core of an earth dragon."

Chen Yao thanked her and handed it to Yun Li.

Yun Li smiled and shook her head: "This item is useless to Senior Sister, but it will come in handy as you are about to establish your foundation."

Chen Yao examined it carefully before putting it into his storage bag.

Mingzhan calmly observed the senior and junior disciples before him, and seeing that the two were much closer than ordinary fellow disciples, he smiled.

At the same time, she began frantically searching her mind for any information about the powerful immortal cultivation clans of the Chen and Yun families of Kuanglu.

"May I ask what brings you two here?"

She probed softly.

Yun Li looked at Chen Yao. She knew she was straightforward and didn't want to waste time talking to others, so she simply left all the social interactions to Chen Yao.

Chen Yao only remembered that Mingzhan had said she came to Bibo Pool for the Cold Heaven Jade, so they were rivals.

He glanced at Ming Zhan furtively. Judging from how easily she had dismembered the earth dragon, the sharpness of that willow leaf was far superior to his own glass and jade bone knife.

Moreover, this person's cultivation level is at least at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

"We came for the inner core of the Azure Water Coil."

"Oh?" Mingzhan raised an eyebrow and smiled, "There happens to be a Jade Water Coil in the Jade Wave Pool. It seems we can travel together."

After some thought, she still couldn't find any information about the giant race that matched Chen Yao and Yun Li, so she decided to try to find out more along the way.

Perhaps these two are the key to breaking out of my predicament and returning to the power center of the Mingyang Sect.

Yun Li stood to the side, her lovely eyes having been lingering on Ming Zhan and Chen Yao for quite some time.

Although this woman is not young, my junior brother could even bring himself to kiss Yuanhe...

Judging from how her eyes keep lingering on her junior brother's face, she might just be a repressed, lustful woman who's been craving sex for a long time.

So she was about to refuse when Chen Yao spoke first: "If we could travel together, I would be more than happy to."

Yun Li pursed her lips slightly. Her junior brother was indeed like this!

But in front of outsiders, she naturally wouldn't embarrass Chen Yao.

Mingzhan seemed very happy and nodded: "Then let us settle the disaster victims and set off first thing in the morning."

She glanced at Chen Yao and Yun Li, then turned to help the townspeople.

Yun Li and Chen Yao walked to the other side.

"Senior sister..."

Chen Yao wanted to ask her about the scales growing on her wrist, but he noticed that Yun Li's plump buttocks were trembling and she was walking forward without turning her head.

What happened this time?

Why are you following me?

Yun Li's high heels clicked, and she turned back to her stern face.

The night breeze ruffled her knee-length skirt, like ripples on a lake.

Her fair and pink legs, which she hadn't had time to put on stockings, revealed a different kind of alluring beauty.

The round little toe is gathered at the top of the open-toed sandal, tightly gripping the sole, with a cute rosy tip.

"If I don't follow my senior sister, who will I follow?"

Yun Li gestured with her chin in the direction Ming Zhan had left: "Naturally, he is the fellow Daoist you will be traveling with."

"Senior sister, Biyu Pan is fierce. Wouldn't it be better to have more helpers?"

"No matter how fierce it is, it's just a matter of a few more punches..." Yun Li said proudly, her face turning even colder.

Chen Yao sighed: "Give them a few more punches, your fists will hurt too... It's better for them to hurt than for you to hurt..."

Yun Li's initial dissatisfaction vanished instantly, but she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth. She quickly twisted her high-heeled feet, turned her back, and wiggled her hips to help the townspeople.

After taking a few steps, she noticed Chen Yao standing still. She turned around halfway and said with a smile, "Aren't you coming over here?"

Chen Yao agreed and walked over, feeling relieved.

Young brutes are the easiest to coax, so far...

His main purpose in agreeing to travel with Mingzhan and the others was naturally the Cold Heaven Jade.

However, Ming Zhan and his group are all quite powerful, so we need to find a way to weaken Bi Shui Pan and then seize the opportunity to take it...

"Senior sister."

"Ok?"

Yun Li lifted up a collapsed house and rescued the people trapped inside.

Chen Yao fanned away the dust that clung to his face: "What is this Cold Heaven Jade?"

Yun Li frowned, and after a while, she reluctantly said, "Why are you asking about this?"

"I'm curious...and I wonder if this thing is any good, if it is..."

Yun Li glanced at him, her eyes lighting up, and asked softly, "You want to steal it?"

Chen Yao hadn't expected the young man to be so perceptive, so she naturally went along with it: "Of course, Senior Sister's safety is the most important thing. I was just asking..."

Yun Li began to seriously consider: "One peak Golden Core cultivator, two early Golden Core cultivators, and several Foundation Establishment cultivators... it shouldn't be too difficult to handle."

She glanced at Chen Yao, secretly pleased. So, her stinky junior brother wanted to steal someone else's treasure, not that he had his eye on that woman... In that case, of course she had to grant his wish.

"Frosty Jade is an extremely cold and precious natural material. It has the effect of suppressing fire-attribute spiritual objects and purifying evil energy. Moreover, high-quality Frosty Jade has developed supernatural powers, capable of spewing out extremely cold icy mist to freeze everything in a short time. Back then..."

She suddenly stopped talking later on.

Chen Yao glanced at her in surprise, but didn't take it to heart. He was just wondering what use this strangely cold substance would be to the woman in the red dress.

A sliver of dawn appeared in the eastern sky, which was quickly painted over by the first light of day.

"Senior sister."

"Speak." Yun Li walked along the ruins, casually pushing open pairs of abandoned houses, searching for survivors.

"Senior sister, what happened to your wrist?"

Yun Li stopped in her tracks, her body frozen in the red dawn light.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Could Chen Yao be the sect leader's illegitimate son?

Chen Yao looked at Yun Li's slightly trembling shoulders and found it very strange.

Given her impetuous nature, there are few things in this world that could excite her so much.

"Senior sister, if it's inconvenient, I won't say anything..."

He gently stroked Yun Li's back.

Yun Li made a soft "hmm" sound, turned her face, and her pink lips trembled.

A hint of hesitation and inner conflict appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Junior brother, what is your attitude towards demons?"

Chen Yao paused for a moment, looked at Yun Li, and said seriously, "All things in nature are inherently equal. In my eyes, humans and demons are actually no different in the world."

Yun Li's face relaxed a little as she looked at Chen Yao seriously: "You really think so?"

Chen Yao nodded, adding in his mind, "Of course, if it doesn't harm me."

Yun Li pursed her lips, about to say something, when Ming Zhan walked over with his disciples.

"Gentlemen, the townspeople have been mostly settled. Let's get going!"

……

……

There's still some distance between Zhuguang Town and Bibo Pool, and the closer you get to your destination, the more ferocious monsters you'll encounter.

Chen Yao was glad that he made the right decision to travel with Ming Zhan and the others, which indeed saved him a lot of trouble and risks.

Moreover, for some reason, he felt that Mingzhan was becoming more and more friendly and caring towards him along the way.

Mingzhan's changes naturally fell into the eyes of Yunli, who was observing coldly. She felt that Mingzhan was probably planning to take his time and try his hand at his junior brother. Therefore, she became increasingly hostile towards Mingzhan and the others, and she blocked all of Mingzhan's attempts to befriend or test Chen Yao.

Mingzhan interpreted this in a completely different way.

Yun Li was a very strong body cultivator, and she understood this the moment she saw her.

In this world, powerful magic cultivators are not uncommon, but powerful body cultivators are one in ten thousand.

The reason is simple: body cultivation not only requires extremely high talent, but also demands an astonishingly high level of training and investment in natural resources.

Therefore, once a physical cultivator has made a name for himself, he is someone who can easily defeat a magic cultivator of the same realm.

Therefore, the status of physical cultivation should naturally be higher than that of Dharma cultivation.

Despite her formidable physical strength, Yun Li was like a doting housekeeper in front of Chen Yao, who was at the peak of Qi Refining...

This inevitably aroused Mingzhan's greater curiosity and suspicion about Chen Yao's identity.

Could this kid be the illegitimate son of the sect leader of the Kuanglu Sect?

Every time she glanced at the languid Chen Yao, this thought would unconsciously pop into her mind.

"Senior sister, could you scratch my back for me?"

"Senior sister, I can't open this pill bottle..."
