My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

If it were a rogue cultivator, it would probably take several years, or even decades, to collect the materials.

He can practice both at home.

Thinking about it this way, Lin Ye couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The expert team quickly made a preliminary decision to manufacture a beam cannon, maximizing its power.

Lin Ye's self-healing ability is very strong now, so even if he causes some degree of self-injury, it's not a problem... Of course, it would be best if the damage was high enough without needing to injure himself.

After several heated discussions between Lin Ye, Chu Lian'er, and Master Gongshu, the blueprints were gradually finalized.

Chapter 396 A Final Reunion (4.5k)

On this day, Lin Ye was discussing blueprints with his two wives.

Suddenly, Huang Zhou sent a message saying that he had intercepted a suspicious letter, which landed not far outside the Lin residence.

The letter stated that an old friend requested an audience.

The handwriting looked very familiar.

After reading it, Lin Ye stood up in thought.

Lin Ye had seen this handwriting hundreds of years ago.

It’s Xiaotao!

This childhood sweetheart from six thousand years in the future has finally thought of coming to find me.

It seems that the statues we installed earlier were effective!

Lin Ye was excited.

They asked me to meet them tomorrow...

It's been hundreds of years...

Lin Ye's gaze swept over Chu Lian'er and Gongshu Yan almost imperceptibly.

"Disciple, what's wrong?" Gongshu Yan looked up.

Chu Lian'er also looked at her with a calm gaze.

“Master, a childhood friend of mine will come to see me tomorrow.”

Lin Ye sat down again: "Don't worry, my disciple, let's continue working."

"oh oh."

Gongshu Yan's mind was completely focused on refining the weapon, and he did not notice anything amiss.

Chu Lian'er's eyes flickered slightly, subtly catching a fleeting change in Lin Ye's mindset.

'Was the decision related to that childhood friend...?'

Her expression shifted slightly: 'Lin Ye understands people; this kind of thing won't stump him.'

The next day.

Lin Ye arrived at the agreed alley on time, and took one last look at Xiao Tao's handwritten letter, feeling a surge of warmth in his heart.

......

Su Xiaotao's clothes fluttered wildly in the wind, her expression subtly filled with resentment.

Although we will be reunited soon.

But I have three regrets!

A few days ago, an unexpected person contacted her...

He is a successor of demonic arts!

She crept nearby and tossed a letter, requesting Su Xiaotao to see Lin Ye to explain the bond between their lives.

She's probably afraid of being killed the moment they meet.

Su Xiaotao was naturally extremely unwilling.

But she knew the importance of this information, so she had to bring it up later.

To be left by her and to be unable to capture her is one of my regrets!

In addition, Su Xiaotao also saw information about Lin Ye collected and compiled by other undead on the forum.

Since Lin Ye was able to kill the Great Demon ahead of time, it was as if he had foresight.

Su Xiaotao believes that he must have memories of his previous life (during the war between good and evil) and was reincarnated before her.

Although Su Xiaotao was very pleased to learn that he was doing well.

However, I've heard that Lin Ye has quite a few Daoist partners.

Su Xiaotao's eyes flickered slightly; she felt a sense of... lingering resentment.

If it weren't for that inheritor of the demonic arts, he and the other wouldn't have been separated by such a long time.

How could things have come to this?

How will this debt be repaid...?

Unfortunately, there's now a personal destiny tied to it, a cruel twist of fate.

This is the second reason for my hatred!

In addition, Su Xiaotao was somewhat frightened at this moment.

She was terrified that if she saw Lin Ye, she would encounter some situation that would make her even more upset.

For example...

Lin Ye said with a bitter smile, "I'm sorry, I used to really like you, but I'm not the same person I used to be..." These kinds of sad scenes kept replaying in Su Xiaotao's mind.

She has a good imagination.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but close her eyes, not wanting to face it.

This is the third reason for my hatred!

Just then, footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Su Xiaotao opened her eyes and swallowed.

The leaves have arrived...

......

"Peach, it's been so long! I've missed you so much!"

Lin Ye laughed heartily, gave the girl a big hug, and spun her around in the air twice.

The excessive enthusiasm caught Su Xiaotao somewhat off guard.

She kicked her legs, her eyes darting around, "Ye Zi, put me down..."

Lin Ye's gaze lingered for a moment on the pretty girl in front of him.

"Oh no, I got too excited." Lin Ye put Su Xiaotao down and waved, "Come on, I'll take you to the market."

"Come and see how I've transformed this territory. It's absolutely different from the Dark Ages you imagined!"

"oh oh..."

Su Xiaotao chased after her.

The two arrived at the core area of ​​the Demon Subduing Workshop, where the long street was shrouded in ethereal mist and bustling with activity.

Such prosperity was something Su Xiaotao had never seen even during the war between the righteous and the demonic forces... She marveled inwardly, feeling as if she were witnessing the grandeur of a golden age.

My childhood friend, a genius in weapon crafting, is truly outstanding...

Her mind was wandering, and she was inexplicably led along the way. Lin Ye took her to visit the sect and have some drinks. Before she knew it, she had accumulated a lot of snacks.

Su Xiaotao was eating in small bites like a hamster when she suddenly froze.

Her sharp eyes swept over the man beside her, and as she looked at his profile, her expression gradually softened.

I always felt that he was still very young and enthusiastic, just like when he was seventeen or eighteen.

I'm actually quite happy...

It's completely different from what I imagined!

Am I overthinking things?

Su Xiaotao blushed inwardly, feeling that she was too...clumsy!

Lin Ye walked ahead, his eyes slightly shifting.

'Just as I expected!'

Before Lin Ye arrived, he had already considered Taozi's possible reaction.

He was experienced and would not allow himself to be embarrassed when he met Taozi.

While the two were having dinner in a quiet private room, Lin Ye learned from Tao Zi about the successor of the demonic arts and the strange changes that had occurred on the jade pendant.

Lin Ye thought to himself, 'Strange, I made a pair of these jade pendants; besides being pretty, they have nothing special about them.'

'Are they both chosen by fate, each possessing a unique advantage?'

'However, this mechanism... is too fragile.'

Lin Ye remained calm, a plan forming in his mind.

Simply teleport the jade pendant to another timeline, and the life-binding effect will immediately become invalid. It's that easy.

"Peach, can I take a look at the jade pendant? After all, I made it."

Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly: "I will return this to you after I retrieve the other jade pendant."

Su Xiaotao nodded and handed over the jade pendant: "Here you go, Ye Zi."

Seeing the fish-shaped jade pendant adorned with a red string, Lin Ye felt a pang of nostalgia.

The first exquisite item I created after learning classical weapon crafting techniques... can store some extra spiritual energy.

Although it was just a small item at the late stage of the first rank, it was not easy to make a pair given my financial resources at the time.

It's beautiful and practical; it's a perfect token of love.

Su Xiaotao was about to go to the secret realm to participate in the assessment, and the blessing of this jade pendant could help her.

The other item would make it easier for Lin Ye to forge more complex spiritual artifacts...

Lin Ye did not come to see Su Xiaotao off on the day she set off for the secret realm.

She felt something was off, but didn't think much of it and went with the group.

As a result, when she returned from the secret realm, she heard that Lin Ye had been kidnapped by demonic cultivators on his way to see her off.

The psychological trauma this incident left on her is unimaginable.

Lin Ye put the jade pendant into her sleeve.

With a thought, the Emperor's Blood stirred the river of time, and the jade pendant was silently transported away.

In the age of the Titans, exactly eleven thousand years later, a jade pendant appeared out of thin air and landed in a sealed treasure vault deep underground.

Lin Ye thought to himself, 'Done!'

Su Xiaotao was still silently sighing.

This jade pendant is magical... (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the jade pendant description.)

It seems to be the key to his rebirth, possessing power that transcends time.

What should we do next...?

At this moment, Su Xiaotao's eyes widened. She suddenly sensed that the faint connection the jade pendant had given her had disappeared.

Across a vast expanse of time...

The jade pendant lost its effect on binding her life to the inheritor of the demonic arts.

Upon realizing this, Su Xiaotao was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

The jade pendant was something that could bring her back to life; it was truly wondrous.
