Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest.

Chapter 588 Sister Pretends to Be Brother's
Yan Yu certainly didn't have the energy to figure out why Lin Ning changed into a new skin... He was discussing team matters with Chen Lingyun at the moment.

There are a total of six people in the Zhenhai team, four of whom are at the Huafu level and two at the Xisui level. Among them, Lin Ning said that he had vaguely felt the threshold of completing Xisui (which means it would take one week to half a month), while Chen Lingyun claimed that he estimated that he would be able to be promoted to Huafu within three weeks (Yan Yu was deeply skeptical about this).

Therefore, the current goal of Lin Ning and Chen Lingyun is to catch up with the tail of the main group and enter Huafu as soon as possible. All other training activities can be suspended to avoid stress and affect their mood.

Xie Ruoxi was the first to reach the Transformation Palace stage, and in terms of cultivation, she led the team. However, her poor technique and weak will squandered this advantage. Since her thunder technique accuracy was still struggling, Yan Yu decided to suspend her technical training and instead focus on studying the only magic weapon she had.

Lightning cone.

During the Battle of Belial, Yan Yu and his team defeated the Onmyoji team in the secret realm and obtained the Lightning Cone magic weapon from the Six-Armed Demon, the gatekeeper. Considering the relevance of Thunder Magic, the team assigned it to Xie Ruoxi.

However, this treasure consumed a great deal of energy and was even more difficult to control than the Thunder Technique. Xie Ruoxi couldn't even master the basics of the Thunder Technique, so naturally, he put the more difficult Thunder Cone magical instrument aside and locked it in a small cabinet in his study.

Chen Lingyun pointed out that now that Ruoxi has entered the Hua Mansion, her true essence is more abundant than before, so perhaps she can try the lightning cone magic weapon again.

Yan Yu approved.

The second person to advance was Su Yunjin. She had previously suspended her collection of Acquired Water Elites in order to break through as quickly as possible, and now only Gentle Breeze and Drizzle remained to be collected.

If all of them are collected, they can be refined into "rootless water" and "Gui water essence" in the body, which will have a strong bonus effect on the water-based Taoism. In particular, the consumption of various methods will be greatly reduced, thereby greatly improving Yunjin's endurance.

But because Yan Yu retrieved the Heyuan Jingping from the secret realm of Xiankong Island, Yun Jin was faced with the same problem that Ning Ning had faced before:
Should I continue gathering the Acquired Water Elites? Or should I prioritize refining the Heyuan Jingping (Heyuan Pure Bottle)?
Yan Yu made an important instruction: proceed simultaneously, neither side can fall behind in progress, and split 24 hours into 48 hours!

Chen Lingyun disagreed: "Gathering the acquired Five Elements Elite is too slow. To ensure purity, you might only get a few drops after spending half a day in the rain. But if you focus on refining the River Source Purifying Bottle, you could probably finish it in a few days. Of course, there's not much ancient Han water left in it, only about three drops. In battle, pouring it out and hitting someone on the head would basically cripple them if not kill them. It's equivalent to three ultimate moves, and the combat power boost is actually very significant."

Yan Yu listened to Chen Lingyun's advice and revised his plan: Even if they reached the designated location for the predicted weather, rain wouldn't just come. He had Yun Jin take the Heyuan Jingping (Pure Bottle) to gather water-based elites, and use the remaining time before the rain to refine magic weapons. This way, they could cultivate their magic weapons while maintaining their cultivation.

Chen Lingyun thought the plan was indeed feasible. As for whether Yunjin was happy or not… the team members just had to execute it. But as a leader, there were so many things to consider that they didn't have time to dwell on the minutiae.

Apart from Yunjin and Ruoxi, the third person to discuss is Zhao Yuanzhen.

The demon female from the Demon Sect is lazy and likes to eat, drink and have fun. Even when she is sparring, she is not motivated by "I want to improve my strength", but by the idea of "I want to finish the fight quickly so I can go play". Therefore, she can only move forward after being constantly urged by Yan Yu and repeatedly whipped.

Forget swordsmanship; she wasn't cut out for it. Besides the puppet Ami, she also possessed the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer and the Red Lotus Bowl. The latter, a newly acquired magical weapon, had already been largely refined by her, claiming it "operated with ease" and "sent and received at will." However, Yan Yu knew this enchantress was prone to making irresponsible claims, and most likely only learned how to use it. Therefore, he would need to find time to teach her how to use the weapon and adjust her tactics.

Finally, there was Yan Yu himself. The Liangyi Microdust Sword had a new teleportation and flying slash feature, which was truly too abstract. You have to know that in all the sword techniques Yan Yu had witnessed in his previous life, none of them had considered the ability of a flying sword to teleport or flash.

If the enemy's defense is compared to the ancient defense of a city, and one's own swordsmanship is regarded as siege, then there are nothing more than three strategies: strong attack, siege and surprise attack. Based on this, a series of complex siege methods such as "ladders", "catapults", "battering hammers", "well sieges", "tunnel digging" and so on are further derived... These are the technical fields that Yan Yu has accumulated for many years and is most proficient in.

Now I have learned a new skill: I can teleport the attacking army directly behind the city wall!

What about ladders and catapults? Is there any need to think about them in the face of teleportation? All I can say is that warfare has evolved to a new stage. City walls are no longer a concern; the focus should be on how to quickly achieve results after divine troops descend from the sky and bypass defenses...

Although Yan Yu is a man with rich combat experience, facing this completely unfamiliar new skill, he still needs enough time to repeatedly speculate, demonstrate and experiment before he can truly master it.

"Anyway, I don't have time to take care of you from now on," he finally said to Chen Lingyun. "Old Li is urging me to work again. Besides these important tasks, I also have to attend the competition venue maintenance!"

"Why did you accept that mission?" Chen Lingyun asked in surprise. "I advise you to turn it down. It's not a easy mission."

"Why is it not a good idea?" Yan Yu asked with a raised eyebrow.

"A common cultivator," Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "is just like a mean cat. If you hit him, he'll run away; if you don't, he'll turn around and breathe on you, showing off his power. Besides, aren't these people going to participate in the competition? The higher-ups certainly won't allow you to kill anyone, so you'll just have to endure the bullying."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Yan Yu sneered contemptuously.

It's not like he hadn't dealt with folk cultivators in his previous life. These people... were indeed as Chen Lingyun said, good at taking advantage of every opportunity, habitual bullies who only bullied the weak and feared the strong, and who disregarded law, order, and authority. After all, it was impossible for law-abiding citizens to become powerful "illegal" cultivators.

But don't underestimate me, woman! I have my own powerful methods to deal with these dogs!

Seeing that he didn't care, Chen Lingyun shook her head and said no more. But then she thought, there might be more fun to watch, so she immediately said with a smile:
"I want to go with you."

"Why are you going there?" Yan Yu said disdainfully. "You're already at the Huafu level, and you're still going? The registration requirement for the competition is at least Huafu level. If you're a Xisui level official-trained cultivator, are you going there to help keep the place together or just give yourself a slap in the face?"

"Where do so many civilian cultivators at the Huafu level come from?" Chen Lingyun expressed her confusion.

"Are you sweating over your useless talent, little fairy?" Yan Yu laughed at her wantonly.

Of course, at this stage, most of the civilian cultivators who were able to ascend to the Huafu level relied not on their cultivation talent, but on chance encounters. Cultivation ultimately required resources, and while unincorporated cultivators didn't receive free elixirs from the state, they still had a chance to stumble upon some magical item that could improve their cultivation through a lottery in a secret realm.

"I'm not afraid." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "You will protect me."

It’s precisely because you want me to be distracted to protect you that I don’t want you to go!

Yan Yu wanted to scold her harshly, but when he thought about Chen Lingyun's personality, once she made up her mind to do something, it would be impossible to change her mind even if you talked her into it. At that time, she would probably find ways to follow him. Suddenly, he was too lazy to continue persuading her.

The two of them were standing at the edge of the training ground, whispering to each other. Su Yunjin was concentrating on refining the Heyuan Jingping, and he instinctively felt a little jealous when he saw this.

Of course, she also knew that the captain was only discussing business with Lingyun, but some things are purely unavoidable biological instincts, just like when a little boy sees his goddess talking to another man, even if he knows that the goddess doesn't like such a man, the spouse alarm in his brain will still go off violently, making him subconsciously nervous and worried.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Jin sent a message to Yan Yu:

"Captain, I think it will take about three days to refine this magic weapon, so should we suspend the collection of water elites for the day after tomorrow?"

Get the captain's attention first!

"I have discussed this with Lingyun." Yan Yu replied, "Don't stop for now. Take the Heyuan Jingping with you on the road. Use the time you don't collect fragments to refine magic weapons. Every minute counts... For the sake of efficiency, you should set off tomorrow." Su Yunjin was suddenly struck by lightning: What, you want to exile me again!
Well, in order to gather the Five Elements Elites, the cultivators did have to travel all over the country. Look at Zhou Hongyu, he even flew abroad.

She retreated with a dejected look, and Lin Ning sent a voice message over and asked:
"Captain, I have a few sword questions..."

"Your current mission is to level up as quickly as possible!" Yan Yu interrupted her rudely, "Reaching the Huafu level quickly is better than anything else! Spend less time on swordsmanship!"

Lin Ning left cursing, and Xie Ruoxi came forward again, saying embarrassedly:
"Captain, I have no idea how to use this lightning cone magic weapon..."

"How about we try sparring?" Yan Yu said maliciously, "Maybe after I beat you up, you might get some inspiration."

Xie Ruoxi turned pale and ran away. Zhao Yuanzhen came over again:

"I've already chosen a place for dinner, take a look."

"Eat, eat, eat, that's all you do!" Yan Yu scolded her angrily, "Have you mastered the Red Lotus Bowl?"

"It's running smoothly and I can send and receive as I wish!" Zhao Yuanzhen stiffened his neck.

"Use it and let me see it!" Yan Yu said loudly.

"You want to die, but you can't blame me..." Zhao Yuanzhen's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he took out the red lotus bowl, cast a spell and made hand gestures.

The bowl flew out of his hand, spun half a circle in the air, and was about to become bigger and cover him, but was smashed down by the Huangting Sword with a force that split the mountains and rivers.

Looking at the other side, the owner of the magic weapon was also knocked down by Yan Yu at close range. He lost his balance and fell to the ground in a mess. He was lucky to avoid serious injuries due to the cushioning effect. Of course, he was in pain.

"I think you really don't understand!" Yan Yu sneered, "You threw the magic weapon out so openly, without any concealment at all. Do you think people won't take precautions?"

"Think it through carefully. When and where should I activate the Red Lotus Bowl? How should I do it? How should I use it? How can I avoid being interrupted by my opponent? Give it to me by tomorrow night. No fewer than 2000 words!"

"Ah——" The demon girl let out a humiliating cry of impotence and rage.

Today, this little thief took advantage of me because my magic weapon was too slow to activate, and deliberately humiliated me. I deeply resent this vengeance! I'll just take note of it. When I'm in power one day, I'll definitely pay you back tenfold!
Thinking of this, a picture came to my mind:

As the sun rose to the top of the sky, the embroidered quilt slipped off the edge of the bed. The thin dog husband was weak and powerless. Seeing his wife's face full of comfort and stretching, he quietly got out of bed and stumbled to escape. He only heard himself sneer and say:

"I think you really don't understand! You just repeat the same few moves over and over again, with absolutely no variation. Do you think I'll be fooled by that?"

"Think it through carefully! How should it be done before, during, and after, so that I can be as satisfied as possible! Give it to me by tomorrow night, and it can't be less than 20,000 words!"

I suppose only an ox that's worked itself to death can't possibly plow the land. Once the relationship is confirmed, I'll do this and that, hehe, hahaha, I'll make him beg for mercy three times a day to ease the hatred in my heart!
Zhao Yuanzhen lay on the ground with a sinister and evil smile on his face.

Yan Yu had no idea what she was thinking. He probably used some kind of mental victory tactic like "I'll eat, I'll eat, I'll eat him out of money." So he simply ignored her and turned to ask Chen Lingyun:
"By the way, what are your plans for the future?"

"That's it." Chen Lingyun said lightly, "Continue to study the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Seal, train and refine the ghost in the banner, and then keep an eye on the outside world to see if there are any magic weapons or ghosts that I need."

"You don't need anyone to worry about you at all." Yan Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Although this despicable woman has a bad personality, loves to stir up trouble, and is very cunning, making it hard to guard against her, one good thing about her is that she will never make you worry - it's useless to do so, because she has her own opinions and will not change her mind because of what you do.

But she's no longer talking about rebuilding the underworld, which is a good thing... Can you just build the underworld? You're overestimating yourself! Don't cause me unnecessary trouble!

After the afternoon training, everyone went to the restaurant chosen by Zhao Yuanzhen for dinner.

Nowadays, everyone is worth over 100 million, so they are quite generous. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Lingyun directly spent a lot of money to book the whole place and asked the boss to stop accepting other diners tonight.

The boss is actually a fan of the Zhenhai Team, and a die-hard fan of the sword fairy Ningning. In his words, "Ningning is one of us." Not only did he insist on not accepting money, he also personally cooked and served many delicious dishes.

Everyone was eating, drinking and chatting when Yan Yu suddenly received a call. It was actually from his sister.

He casually pressed the hands-free key and answered the call. He took another bite of lobster and heard Yan Jing say on the other side:

"Brother, I'm coming to Jinling the day after tomorrow. Remember to bring your sisters-in-law with you."

Inside the box, the girls all stopped moving.

The next second, everyone returned to normal, eating and drinking, chatting, and laughing, as if nothing had happened.

"I'm on hands-free mode." Yan Yu said bluntly.

Yan Jing was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said:

"I said it wrong. It should be the reserve sisters-in-law. After all, to officially take up the post, you have to pass the test of me, the sister-in-law. Bye, brother. I'm hanging up~"

After the phone call ended, Yan Yu looked up again and saw that everyone seemed to have eaten and drunk their fill, and started leaning back in their chairs and playing with their phones.

"You don't want to eat anymore?" he asked in surprise.

"I don't want to eat anymore!" The girls all started typing on their phones. Even the Demon Sect Demon Girl and the pretty loser, who had the best appetite, were using spoons to put food into their mouths while typing on their phone screens.

Yan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that his little sister had indeed not been educated for too long, and he had to find some time to use the family rules!
