Chapter 122 – True feelings


The man in the gray robe seemed to have not expected that he would offer such generous benefits, but Luo Huan’s attitude remained so firm and resolute, making the situation somewhat awkward for a while.

Luo Huan, however, did not care about the other party’s feelings. This kind of thing was simply not feasible. If it were true, it would be an insult to the intelligence of the entire sect’s leadership.

How precious was a monstrous genius seed of this level? The Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace invested a huge amount of manpower and resources from a young age, searching and nurturing for hundreds or even thousands of years. In the end, only a few people could be produced, preparing to inherit the lineage. How could they not be carefully protected?

Even if such a figure had grown up and achieved a high level of cultivation, it was unlikely that they would travel alone. There would definitely be guardians secretly watching over them, not to mention the current Muling.

After a long time, the man in the gray robe chuckled, “Very well, you didn’t use those irrelevant lies to deceive me. If you had agreed outright, I would have been suspicious.”

“Hmm, a monstrous genius seed of any lineage is not something that can be easily plotted against, let alone Qing Muling. Fortunately, we were prepared early on…”

With that, he took out a thumb-sized, seemingly ordinary emerald jade talisman and placed it on the table, explaining, “This is a void teleportation talisman meticulously crafted by a certain important figure at any cost. As long as a bit of mana is infused, it can instantly teleport the holder and everything within three zhang to hundreds of star domains away. Those below the Immortal Realm have no way to resist.”

“You are someone by Qing Muling’s side. When you return, as long as you activate this talisman when you are close to him, the mission will be accomplished. Of course, the timing of this action must be chosen carefully, so as not to arouse their suspicion, as you will have to return to the sect afterwards.”

Luo Huan’s eyelids twitched as she listened. The cost of crafting a teleportation talisman of this level was estimated to be no less than that of a supreme-grade treasure, yet it was a disposable item. It was clear how powerful it was. She instinctively felt that the man in the gray robe was still holding back.

If someone were to secretly activate this talisman when approaching Qing Muling, it might actually work, even if it was unintentional. Even the guardians by his side might not have time to react.

“Still not appropriate. Even if the plan succeeds, I will have to cut ties with the sect, and they will eventually find out the truth.”

After a long silence, Luo Huan said.

After Qing Muling disappeared, Sect Master Mu Yinghua and the others would be able to find out that Luo Huan was also no longer at the main altar of the sect. The truth of the matter was obvious.

The man in the gray robe smiled, “It doesn’t matter. We have two of the same void teleportation talismans. After sending Qing Muling out, you can use the other talisman to instantly teleport back to the main altar of the sect. This will solve the problem perfectly.”

“And in order to divert the attention of the sect’s leadership and ensure your smooth passage, we can also proactively expose two senior spies who have been lurking in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace for many years. This should work, right?”

Luo Huan stared at him with deep eyes, “Although the spiritual treasure is good, it is not something I can use right now. It cannot immediately increase my strength, so you should offer me something more suitable.”

Although she had reached the level of Ascending to Immortality in her cultivation, she still did not have the ability to control the spiritual treasures to use against enemies, something that usually only True Immortals and above could do.

So even if she obtained a few spiritual treasures, she would have to watch them sit idle for a long time, providing no help in advancing her cultivation. Naturally, Luo Huan could not accept this.

The man in the gray robe sighed helplessly, “In that case, I will add twelve Phoenix Dawn Replenishing Pills. With them, your cultivation should be able to reach the level of Elemental Immortal soon. Coupled with the effect of the Profound Clear Creation Spirit Pill, you will soon be able to step into the realm of True Immortal.”

With that, a beautifully shaped bottle of blue and gold elixirs appeared on the table.

The Phoenix Dawn Replenishing Pill was made from the main ingredients of the Star River Replenishing Vine and twelve divine medicines, supplemented by hundreds of rare holy medicines. It took hundreds of years to refine a single pill in a spiritual treasure-level pill furnace, and a single furnace produced only about twenty pills. The alchemist who refined the pills should be at a level no lower than Sect Master Mu Yinghua.

Taking one Phoenix Dawn Replenishing Pill could increase one’s cultivation by six hundred years and provide corresponding insights into the laws of the Great Dao, and it could be taken multiple times.

According to the grading standards of elixirs in this time and space, there were seven levels: Mortal, Human, Earth, Spirit, True, Heavenly, and Immortal, each with three grades of upper, middle, and lower. The Phoenix Dawn Replenishing Pill belonged to the upper grade of True Elixirs.

If it were placed in the top auction houses, a single Phoenix Dawn Replenishing Pill could fetch the price of a large spiritual stone mine, and there might not even be enough supply to meet the demand.

Thanks to Qing Muling’s enlightenment, Luo Huan’s current cultivation had reached the mid-stage of Ascending to Immortality. With the help of this batch of elixirs, she would undoubtedly surpass Qi Yalan soon and become the first new generation genius seed to step into the realm of Elemental Immortal in the sect.Luo Huan finally nodded, and with a light flick of her water sleeve, she put away everything on the table: “This matter is settled. It will take at least three months, at most half a year, to get results. You can go back and wait for the good news!”

The man in the gray robe breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s great. We’ll wait for Miss Luo’s good news.”

Luo Huan’s figure turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky in an instant.

Shortly after, several dark figures appeared beside the man in the gray robe.

“Fortunately, the matter has finally been settled,” one of the dark figures said with a sigh of relief.

Another figure scolded in annoyance, “This woman is really troublesome, endlessly verbose. She just wants to extort more benefits from us, right? She looks like a pure and untainted fairy on the right path, but deep down, she’s shameless and insatiable!”

The man in the gray robe smiled faintly, “It’s okay. It’s precisely because of her greed that we can use her. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have had a chance. They are pressing us too hard on that side, and we want to get this done as soon as possible. It’s acceptable to pay a little more.”

A dark figure pondered, “I’m afraid this woman will take the benefits and then refuse to do the job.”

“Is that possible?”

The man in the gray robe took out a crystal ball from his pocket and said with a deep smile, “The scene of our conversation has been recorded. If she dares to go back on her word, we will make this public. It will be enough to ruin her future, and even her family’s ancestors won’t be able to save her.”

“Besides, even if this trick doesn’t work on her, we still have a backup plan. The special teleportation symbol has been engraved with a special restriction. If she has close contact with any man, the symbol will be activated, even if it’s hidden in the space bracelet.”

“Except for that Qing Muling, there are no other men in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace Main Altar. So, even if she has second thoughts, once she sees that kid, she won’t have a choice!”

“That’s right, wise decision!”

The others agreed wholeheartedly. They had played similar tactics many times. As long as a cultivator had desires, it was impossible to resist such irresistible methods.

On the Yu Dao Peak.

In the courtyard of the back mountain, Qing Muling was enthusiastically arranging for the new personal maids to change their clothes. As for the source of the clothes, of course, he had personally refined them.

The clothes were maid outfits with cat ears, including matching stockings, collars, cat ears, and hair ties. They were exceptionally cool and transparent. In the state of vacuum without underwear, the effect was unexpectedly eye-catching.

After all, these ten female disciples were all carefully selected by Elder Lan, with outstanding looks, figures, and temperament. So now, Qing Muling, facing this row of beautiful women, was already feeling a bit excited and impulsive in broad daylight.

“Senior Brother, you want us to wear this? Is it… appropriate?” The head maid, Mu Xiner, stepped forward, her face blushing as she tugged at the short and crazy skirt on her body.

It was too short. The round, long, smooth, and delicate thighs were completely exposed, and the difference between wearing it and not wearing it was really not that big.

Even though these female disciples had been instructed by Elder Lan and were mentally prepared to serve Qing Muling, they still felt embarrassed. In the past, they were busy cultivating and had never experienced such embarrassing games.

“How could it not be? Isn’t it pretty?” Qing Muling smiled, “You can wear this when you’re not going out in the future. I like you to dress like this. If you need to go out, just put on a dress over it.”

“Okay…”

The maids looked at each other and reluctantly agreed. It was acceptable to wear it for Senior Brother alone. Besides, this Senior Brother was quite good-looking, so it didn’t seem so objectionable to look at him a little more.

At this moment, Luo Huan had returned to the mountain gate.

She did not immediately go to the Yu Dao Peak, but instead controlled the streak of light to return to her former secluded cultivation site, the Huan Lin Peak.

“Sister Luo is back!”

In the cultivation site, there were many disciples and maids on duty, and there were hundreds of head stewards and servants. They all saw the imposing streak of light descending from the sky and put down their tasks, bowing and greeting.

With Luo Huan’s family background and her own cultivation, her status was not inferior to that of the direct disciples of the Sect Master. Therefore, her presence was more grand than that of the ordinary core disciples.

“Do whatever you need to do and don’t get in the way here,” Luo Huan ordered indifferently, and her figure entered her closed-door cave. Naturally, no one dared to ask more questions and they all left after paying their respects.

She sealed the cave, activated all the formations and restrictions, and carefully examined the things in the space bracelet with her divine sense.

When she checked the teleportation symbol, Luo Huan felt a hidden warning in her heart, but she couldn’t figure out where the problem was.

After thinking for a moment, she took out the symbol separately, applied several layers of prohibitions, and then put it into a separate storage ring, adding more than ten seals on the outside.

“I’m still not at ease.”Luo Huan muttered to herself, “If what that guy said is true, this is something that could even scheme against immortals. One can never be too cautious.”

“Playing coy, do you really think others are unaware of your origins and details? Trying to bribe my palace with some trifling trinkets? What do you take me for?”

“Enough, go inform the Heavenly Lord as soon as possible about this matter, and then explain it to the Sect Master. If we delay, this misunderstanding will become difficult to clear up.”

Luo Huan sighed. From the beginning, she had never taken the other party seriously. Junior Brother was the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could change her fate. As long as she held on to him, what couldn’t she have in the future? Why should she covet the handouts from those bastards outside?

Luo Huan carefully put the remaining items back into her Space Bracelet, deactivated the formation, and stepped out the door, heading straight for Yueyi Heavenly Lord’s abode.

In just a moment, Yueyi Heavenly Lord and Luo Huan ascended to the summit of the Imperial Path Peak to meet with the Sect Master, Mu Yinghua.
