The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

After listening, Ling Juan sighed and looked into the distance.

How could a being as knowledgeable as Ling Juan not understand the current situation?

"How long will we be staying this time?"

"The Scarlet Witch sent me a message telling me to go to the library and contact her as soon as possible. Looks like something's up again."

Qing Yinyan, who was standing to the side, also looked unwell after hearing this.

Having spent so much time with Jiang Chuan, the sudden separation made me feel uneasy.

"By the way, Spirit Scroll, Qing Yinyan absorbed the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, but not completely. It exists in Qing Yinyan's body in the form of a spirit."

"An elf? You mean the thousand-year-old snow lotus has become a spirit!"

Qing Yinyan nodded, but his expression was not good.

At this moment, Ling Juan was flustered and somewhat lost her voice.

"Quick! Summon the spirit!"

No one understood why Ling Juan would do this, but Jiang Chuan, after listening, gestured for Qing Yinyan to do so.

Qing Yinyan obediently summoned the spirit.

A snow-white girl emerged from the ground like a white bamboo shoot.

"Who? Who summoned me?"

"it's me."

Qing Yinyan looked at the beautiful, delicate elf, and Ling Juan's eyes were also fixed on her. Instantly, Ling Juan burst forth.

Ling Juan's Malay sword was pressed straight against the elf's neck, almost piercing the girl's snow-white skin.

“Most of the aura on your body belongs to Qing Yinyan. Tell me quickly, how much of her energy have you absorbed?”

Looking at Qing Yinyan's fair face, which originally had a rosy hue, she seemed quite healthy.

But now, her face is completely bloodless, and if you don't look closely, you almost wouldn't notice her weakness.

"I...I don't know either. I've been inside her body the whole time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to survive."

"Hmph! Without a body, you wouldn't even be able to live."

Jiang Chuan immediately understood what was going on.

It turns out that this thousand-year-old snow lotus had been living on Qing Yinyan's body, constantly absorbing his energy as nourishment.

Moreover, Qing Yinyan is still unaware of what happened to him, so it seems the culprit has been found.

Qing Yinyan also understood why she had been so weak along the way.

"Don't kill her. She didn't do it on purpose. She doesn't have a physical body, so she can live peacefully with me."

Ling Juan glared at the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, then turned to Qing Yinyan and said.

"She's a bottomless pit, meant to absorb the essence of heaven and earth as nourishment. Do you think you have heaven and earth to nourish you?"

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be the case, and Qing Yinyan also panicked. Despite her saintly nature, she lost her composure at this moment.

The elf spat out a few drops of saliva, looking completely indifferent, as if to say, "Do whatever you want with me."

Ling Juan couldn't stand it any longer, so she activated the Heaven-Turning Seal mode.

"Let you cause chaos!"

"No!"

A heavy aura rushed directly towards the face of the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, leaving it no time to dodge.

"The Brahma Cauldron!"

A huge cauldron appeared before everyone's eyes, and Ling Juan threw the thousand-year-old snow lotus into it.

"Don't blame me, you've already become a demon."

As Ling Juan spoke, her hands didn't stop; instead, she spewed out Samadhi True Fire, directly heating the Brahma Cauldron.

Jiang Chuan and Qing Yinyan watched from the side. Qing Yinyan felt much better, and the feeling of being constantly drained of her energy was gone.

Ling Juan could tell that she was going to refine the snow lotus. If she did, the snow lotus would still have room to be slaughtered.

Furthermore, it can sever the snow lotus's influence within Qing Yinyan's body.

"Ahhh!"

Despite the pitiful cries, no one was moved. They all understood that if it weren't for the spirit scroll, Qing Yinyan would truly be terminally ill in a while.

"How much longer will it take to refine?"

Ling Juan looked at Jiang Chuan and made a two-pointed hand gesture.

"Two days?"

"No, two hours."

"Damn! A thousand-year-old snow lotus, and you only have two hours to refine it."

"Do you have any questions? You don't even have a look at my Brahma Cauldron."

The Brahma Cauldron is entirely red, with dragon patterns on it, and there seems to be a legend about it.

The Brahma Cauldron was made by Brahma, the ancestor of the true dragon.

It was said to be used for refining elixirs and miraculous medicines, but unexpectedly, it has now been used by the spirit scroll to refine snow lotus.

"Alright, you guys go first. Qing Yinyan, stay here. I'll transfer the Snow Lotus Qi to you later."

Jiang Chuan nodded; he still wanted to go inside the church to see what was going on.

It turned out that most of the members of the sect had already gone out to do missions.

Jiang Chuan also saw Bei Yu and Ren Yi, those two kids, still secretly slacking off.

"What time is it? Still slacking off!"

After hearing this, Ren Yi quickly turned around and nudged Bei Yu next to her. Neither of them dared to look in Jiang Chuan's direction.

Because she dared not look Jiang Chuan in the eye, for if she did, she might be bullied terribly by the cult leader.

"Hurry up and practice properly, you two are not even as strong as Ling Juan's disciple!"

Jiang Chuan deliberately tried to provoke the two of them, but ended up with a half-smile from them.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan sensed something was wrong. Why were the two of them laughing?

So he strode forward and pointed at the two people.

"What are you laughing at! The moment I mentioned Ling Juan's disciple, you two got the wrong idea. Speak!"

Seeing that Jiang Chuan was quite serious, Bei Yu answered earnestly.

"You don't know Lingjuan's disciple. She is clearly gifted, but her master arranges some kind of lousy training for her every day. She has no idea what she is training."

"What to practice?"

Seeing Jiang Chuan's fierce expression, the two of them dared not be negligent and told him everything.

"It was in the morning that Lingdong was assigned by Lingjuan to check Mili."

What is a "chamili"?

At this moment, Jiang Chuan had no idea what Ling Juan had arranged, or what kind of medicine was inside the gourd.

"It means making Lingdong check the quantity of rice all day long, especially checking each grain one by one, without making any mistakes. If he makes a mistake, he has to start all over again."

After they finished speaking, they both laughed and felt that the spirit scroll was really misleading people.

But Jiang Chuan knew his brother well, and he saw the two of them looking at each other with disappointment.

Jiang Chuan's personality changed drastically, and he pointed at the two people's heads and said...

"You two! If you don't practice properly, I'll make you check the rice too. I'll see who checks it faster. The one who checks it slower will have to clean the toilets."

After hearing this, Bei Yu shut his mouth first and slunk off to practice his swordsmanship.

As darkness fell, Jiang Chuan realized that Ling Juan might have finished refining the snow lotus, so he decided to join in the fun.

...

Ling Juan looked at the small pill in front of her; it was pure white and somewhat resembled a melting snow lotus.

Its luster was indeed different from other pills, and even its aroma was fragrant.

"It seems that the pills made from this Brahma Cauldron are still as effective as ever in strengthening the body and stabilizing the medicinal materials themselves." A thousand-year-old snow lotus has become a medicinal material in Ling Juan's mouth. As expected of Ling Juan.

Ling Juan placed the pills in her hand into a small container and handed it to Qing Yinyan.

Qing Yinyan didn't want it at first, but seeing Ling Juan's righteous and resolute expression, he accepted it.

"Thank you, bro."

"It's alright, you're my good sister too, our relationship is unbreakable. Take this pill first, take it as soon as you get back, it will definitely be absorbed better. Remember to strengthen your cultivation, this medicine may be quite nourishing."

Ling Juan's heartfelt words deeply moved Qing Yinyan.

She had always thought Ling Juan was a straight man, always very casual and carefree with Jiang Chuan, but she never expected him to have such a heartwarming side.

"Alright! Go and rest now, I still need to check on my apprentices!"

"You have apprentices?"

It seemed that Qing Yinyan was unaware of this matter, so Ling Juan explained the whole story to Qing Yinyan on the way.

"These two kids, putting aside everything else, are indeed under a little psychological pressure. If you don't tell them the purpose, and it's just to improve them, the two kids might give up later."

However, Ling Juan rendered Qing Yinyan speechless with just one sentence.

"What did your master tell you to do? Did he tell you the purpose? Did you understand?"

After that, Qing Yinyan realized what was going on.

When you're an apprentice, your master usually has his own reasons for doing things.

However, if the purpose becomes known to one's apprentice, the effect will be diminished, or even fail to achieve the desired result.

We were almost at Lingjuan's bedroom. Even before we entered the room, we could already hear Lingdong counting.

"Eighty-four thousand five hundred and sixty-one..."

"Eighty-four thousand five hundred and sixty-two..."

It seems that Lingdong is really working hard to count the rice and is not slacking off, which is one of Lingjuan's proud achievements.

His apprentices never cheat or shirk their duties; they always gain experience through practice.

"Okay, stop counting, let's see who's here."

"Oh? And who is this lady?"

Looking at the young lady in front of her, Lingdong still retained the innocence in her eyes and greeted her politely.

"Hello, sister. I am Lingdong, Lingjuan's adopted son."

"Hello~ Just call me Sister Xiaoqing."

Looking at the child in front of him, with his dark skin, he had already grown up, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a pointed chin. When he grew up, he would definitely be a handsome guy on par with Jiang Chuan.

"Okay, Sister Xiaoqing."

After saying that, Lingdong was about to leave, because once his training was over, it would be time for him to go back to his room to practice.

In fact, every time he returned to his room, Lingdong was always increasing his internal strength, especially his internal strength capacity.

Because as long as his internal energy capacity increases, he can continuously increase the release of his skills.

"Don't go! Do you know why I made you check the rice today?"

Ling shook his head. He knew a little bit about it, but he didn't want to know more.

The master's words are heaven and earth.

"The master leads you through the door, but the practice is up to you."

With just a few simple words, Ling Juan knew that this kid seemed to be doing quite well in his studies lately.

"Hey kid, don't try to be all highbrow with me."

Lingdong rubbed his head, then sat down in the chair, his eyes smiling.

"I had you do the math today to test your focus and willpower. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to give you special training. You don't need to go with Sakura anymore; your plans are different."

Upon hearing the news, Lingdong's face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but jump up happily.

"Yay! Finally, I don't have to do such boring things anymore."

"Boring? What follows is the real training, and it will be a test for you."

Lingdong stood there listening attentively, while Qing Yinyan was also curious to see what the child was thinking.

"I want you to travel the continent, follow Jiang Chuan, and take my place."

Both of them were stunned; Qing Yinyan was stunned, and Lingdong was stunned.

"Jiang Chuan is our leader?"

Ling Juan nodded and said.

“Although he is the leader, he still has to learn. You can learn a lot by following him. There are some things you can’t learn if you stay in the church.”

Lingdong was a little unhappy. It's always the master who guides the apprentice. How can an outsider be allowed to lead them?

"do not want!"

"Who said you didn't want to? I'm making you come with me."

Qing Yinyan, Ling Juan, and Ling Dong all looked towards the door, where Jiang Chuan was standing.

"Oh my, I didn't notice you were here. Look at my little apprentice."

Jiang Chuan glanced at the dark-skinned young man in front of him, his eyes filled with mockery.

"So you're the only one who doesn't want to be with me? What makes you think you have any ability?"

Faced with Jiang Chuan's verbal provocation, Ling Dong clenched her fists, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

Especially since the Spirit Scroll did not take any action, the Spiritual Movement became even more rampant.

"I do not want."

Jiang Chuan also lacked patience, especially when dealing with children like this, so he finally took action.

A tiny dragon wave was blown away by the agile creature in front of it, and it crashed straight into the wall in front of it.

The thick wall was smashed open, leaving a large hole. Fortunately, Lingdong was quite resilient.

He was not seriously injured after falling to the ground, but he was still panting heavily.

Ling Juan did not help her eldest disciple up, but watched quietly.

Instead, Qing Yinyan wanted to come over and help, but Lingdong refused.

"Go away, I want to get up by myself."

Having said that, it became agile and suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Suddenly, a throwing knife flew from behind, heading straight for Jiang Chuan's position.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chuan's skill set is too strong; he can form a protective shield as soon as there is even the slightest danger signal.

How could a tiny throwing knife possibly penetrate a defense?
"That's it! I thought you were much more capable."

Lingdong just used his own special move, which is Kakadong's move.

Teleport behind the enemy and then launch a hidden weapon.

However, Lingdong's current skill level in hidden weapons is not even one percent of Kaka Dong's; they are not even the same thing.

Jiang Chuan, on the other hand, used his speed advantage, which was due to the short distance and his high speed.

In an instant, he teleported to the other person's side and grabbed their neck tightly.

Lingdong didn't panic. Enduring the excruciating pain, he snapped his fingers, moved to another location, and disappeared.

"I'm not playing with you anymore. Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, don't make me wait for you."

"Hmph! What an arrogant brat. He ran away when he couldn't win. So this is your adopted son? He looks a lot like you."

Ling Juan was also in a bad mood and immediately tried to punch Jiang Chuan.

"Are you happy that I'm bullying you like this?!"

Jiang Chuan pursed his lips and said with a grin.

"So what if I like it? I enjoy getting beaten up. What? You want to hit me? Come on, Spirit Scroll!" (End of Chapter)
