Fellow Daoist Entrusts His Child: Immortality Begins with Nurturing a Demoness

Chapter 64 Li Miaoyun, On Climbing the Social Ladder (Chapter 7000)
"My lord, the Pavilion Master has come to pay his respects."

After Yun Mo finished speaking, he immediately kowtowed and knelt down respectfully. Upon hearing that a Foundation Establishment cultivator had arrived in person, everyone present felt a great sense of relief and collapsed to the ground.

It's completely safe now. It seems that Lord Luo has a close relationship with the Treasure Pavilion. This Pavilion Master, who is at the Foundation Establishment stage, didn't go to the Treasure Pavilion to take charge after entering the city, but came directly to pay his respects to Lord Protector.
On the other side, outside Feiyunfang, a majestic and imposing spirit ship broke through the clouds, its roar shaking the earth.

The second-tier superior-grade Luohe warship blotted out the sun. Wherever the giant spirit cannon, more than ten meters long, passed, the souls of the fallen cultivators were instantly carbonized and scattered like birds and beasts. However, they could not withstand the dense ice spikes falling from the sky.

"Ah-"

"Luoshen Pavilion? It's the Foundation Establishment stage of Luoshen Pavilion! Run!"

Ice cones covered the entire Feiyunfang area, locking onto targets based on karma. A few breaths later, the ground was littered with the disemboweled corpses of the Jie cultivators, frozen into ice crystals.

The spirit ship slowly docked, and on the deck, two beautiful women stood facing each other.

The former, a beautiful woman of about eighteen, stood against the wind. She was graceful and elegant, dressed in a blue robe and skirt with flowing white hair. Her eyes were like warm springs of cinnabar, with a delicate nose and sandalwood lips. She was serene and ethereal yet dignified. With her fox-like eyes slightly narrowed, she exuded a sense of authority that came from someone who had long held a high position.

The latter wore a black robe with gold engravings of incense burners and cauldrons, her long hair flowing like dancing waves of fire, her nose and teeth white, her lips adorned with rouge, delicate and full, her figure voluptuous.

If the former is a pure white lotus, too beautiful to behold and desecrated, then the latter is a ripe peach, so beautiful that it makes one's mouth water.

"Miaoyun, aren't you coming with me?"

With ethereal voices and fox-eyed girls with slightly narrowed eyes, each girl wore the standard inner robes of the Luo Shen Pavilion. They were all renowned young prodigies who had made their mark throughout the region, and even the Treasure Pavilion Master had to show them respect.

"Sister Ruoxue, I have another distinguished guest who has fallen into Feiyunfang. I shall take my leave now. Once this matter is settled, I will personally visit him."

Li Miaoyun politely declined, and respectfully performed a curtsy with her hands clasped together.

The person before her was named Ming Ruoxue, a person with a superior spiritual root and a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation. She was the most likely person in the Luoshen Pavilion to resonate with the Xuanzhang. She had some connection with her elder sister; otherwise, given their status, she would only be worthy of being the other's subordinate.

"I will stay here for three days. If you have any questions during your cultivation, you may come to my office to find me."

"Okay, thank you for taking care of me, Sister Ruoxue."

After Li Miaoyun finished speaking, without waiting for Ming Ruoxue to nod, she impatiently transformed into a stream of light, dissipated on the ship, and rushed straight to Feiyunfang.

"Clear the Flying Cloud Pavilion of thieves and issue a nationwide warrant for Luo Qianqiu's arrest. Anyone who provides information will be rewarded with a Foundation Establishment spiritual item."

"Yes"

After Ming Ruoxue finished speaking, dozens of disciples dressed in the inner sect spruce robes of the Qinghe Sect leaped out of the spirit ship, knelt on one knee to ask for orders, and then immediately scattered and rushed into Feiyunfang, where they slaughtered indiscriminately.

Soon after, the painful cries of the traitors echoed through the neighborhood.

Ming Ruoxue's blue eyes were calm. With a slight turn of her hand, an ancient wooden compass appeared out of thin air. The pointer inside the compass jumped and soon flashed dozens of points of light, each of which was the original site of a bandit's den.

"As expected of someone who has achieved the True Core with the body of five spiritual roots, I have underestimated you."

Ming Ruoxue pursed her lips slightly, and as the blue light gathered, dozens of light blue clones split off, heading in batches towards the location shown on the compass.

It seems she was too late.

The sect noticed something amiss with the Yimu Sect and, realizing their intention to betray them, specially dispatched her here to handle the situation.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qianqiu, under the guise of betraying and joining the Heart Demon Temple, actually carried out a blood sacrifice to refine pills. Using the entire Yimu sect and thousands of cultivators, he refined the Immortal Longevity Pill, extending their lives by 150 years, and then turned against the Heart Demon Temple, bringing the withered trees back to life.

By now, that scoundrel Luo Qianqiu has probably already escaped from the Qingyuan Domain.

"Pity."

Ming Ruoxue sighed softly, the soul token at her waist shining brightly. She had brought the soul token with her, not wanting it to escape.

Luo Qianqiu's heart in seeking the Dao is as firm as a rock. She is decisive and ruthless, and will not be swayed by external things. She broke through to the late stage of Core Formation after undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation. Now that the dragon has entered the sea, in a few decades, there will be another Demon Lord in the world.

"Fine, at least we can use this to get rid of the Heart Demon Temple's spies."

What a stroke of luck! What a stroke of luck!
Inside Feiyunfang, Li Miaoyun was panting heavily, her eyes gleaming.

She had already received a message from Yunmo, learning of Lord Luo's terrifying achievements: fighting against dozens of Tribulation Cultivators alone and annihilating them all. What an astonishing feat, what immense true energy!
"At the fifth level of Qi Refining, he held the formation for half an hour and was even able to reverse the fate of a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator. His true essence is inexhaustible, and he must have become an immortal body."

Li Miaoyun's hands were trembling with excitement. She and Yunmo had confirmed the battle situation multiple times and were certain that this Lord Luo was the one in question.

This person possesses a special physique and extraordinary true essence, with the ability to alter the pattern of spiritual power. It must be a supernatural technique passed down from Xuanzhang.

"A true disciple of the Xuanmen sect. Truly a lost Xuanmen disciple."

Li Miaoyun murmured softly. Back when she was on the spirit ship, she was almost overwhelmed by this surprise and wished she could go to Feiyunfang immediately to help. However, Ming Ruoxue was right beside her, so she could only suppress her emotions to avoid being intercepted.

In addition, the Luoshen Pavilion is fiercely opposed to evil, especially Ming Ruoxue, who cannot tolerate any injustice.

This person is holding a soul banner, which is very difficult to explain. If I were to tell Ming Ruoxue rashly, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.

"Lucky, lucky!"

Li Miaoyun could sense that there was no trace of the Tribulation Cultivator inside the shantytown as soon as she approached it, so she slowed down and pondered.

In dealing with Miaoyin, she chose to keep a close watch on her while also stripping Yunmo of his power. Although this was, in a sense, for surveillance and protection, it was a fair division of responsibilities.

This move might displease Gao Chuan, since, on the surface, Yun Mo lost power because of him.

"Sigh, how can I make up for it?"

Li Miaoyun frowned slightly, showing a rare hint of timidity.

Her family suffered misfortune, and she was transferred here to avoid disaster. She lost her status as a Taoist disciple and was already disheartened. Unexpectedly, she was fortunate enough to encounter an extraordinary opportunity.

If we can help Luo Gaochuan regain his momentum, we will surely be able to regroup and return to the Burning Incense Sect. Perhaps our family can also prosper again as a result.

This might be her only chance in her life, and she dared not, and could not, let it slip by.

"Damn."

Li Miaoyun was distraught. Her elder sister had only shown her a small favor, but a single sentence from that righteous Xuanmen sect member had protected their clan from great calamity.

The source of the clan's calamity, that Daoist disciple with the Core Formation cultivation, was nothing more than one of many who wanted to climb the social ladder.

"This is really difficult."

As Li Miaoyun approached the mansion, she paused and paced back and forth.

The orthodox Xuanmen sect and the true lineage of Daoist sects are both geniuses who comprehend the Xuanzhang inheritance method, but the former has a much higher status than the latter. The inheritance method of Xuanmen sects, as long as one succeeds in cultivation, will definitely resonate with the Xuanzhang in the future, only differing in the degree of resonance.

The ratio of those who truly understand the Daoist tradition to those who resonate with the profound mysteries is only twenty to one.

This is also one of the fundamental differences between Taoism and Taoism.

In other words, Lord Luo's rise to power was almost inevitable, but the training in the Xuanmen sect focuses on comprehension and Dao heart, emphasizing immersion in the mortal world and experiencing cause and effect.

If she provides too much help, it would indirectly undermine the adult's training, even if the adult is a lost or authentic being and is unaware of the training tradition.

"There really are rogue cultivators in this world who can comprehend the profound mysteries of the inherited teachings."

Li Miaoyun's voice was filled with emotion, her eyes brimming with envy and admiration.

The profound teachings are extremely difficult to comprehend, and it is common for them to be lost to time. The last time the Xuanmen (mystical sect) widely disseminated the profound teachings and invited heroes from all over the world to study them, it was three thousand years ago.

At that time, the Xuanmen lineage had been broken for several generations, and they had no choice but to spread the Xuanzhang lineage method, hoping that someone would be born to understand the Xuan method and be accepted as a true disciple.

The grand event lasted for a century, yet not a single rogue cultivator comprehended the method; all were killed by Xuanzhang's backlash. Later, seeing no results and with the Demonic Sect using this inherited method to find Xuanzhang's weaknesses, the Xuanmen sect became wary and withdrew the method, never to pass it on again.

"Though the world has changed dramatically, the methods of inheritance still remain. The word 'chance' is truly wondrous."

Li Miaoyun murmured to herself, having already made up her mind that no matter the cost, she would win the favor of this Lord Luo.

Blood overflowed from the tip of his nose, and all that could be seen were severed limbs and broken bodies. The calamity of the cultivator's death was tragic, and there was no trace of his soul around him, clearly indicating that his soul had been completely scattered.

A chilling wind swirled around the mansion. Li Miaoyun stepped lightly into the mansion, and wherever she passed, the bloodstains receded.

She frowned slightly; the cruel and bloody scene before her was somewhat unexpected, and the intensity of the battle far exceeded her expectations.

With a gentle wave of her hand, the eerie wind receded on its own. In the courtyard, Luo Fanchen's face was contorted with rage, his murderous aura solidified and emanating from his body, his black hair dancing like a demon.

He lay on his back, panting heavily, holding a sword in one hand. His robes and exposed skin were soaked red with blood.

The dozens of scattered cultivators' broken bodies were piled up, their intestines and flesh scattered all over the ground, their deaths were gruesome.

"I am Li Miaoyun, the owner of Jubaoge Pavilion in Feiyunfang. I have long admired your name, sir. Today, I finally get to see your esteemed face. Indeed, your reputation is well-deserved."

Li Miaoyun's gaze swept over the corpses scattered on the ground, as well as Yunmo and the others who were still in shock, confirming her suspicions once again.

The people in the courtyard were all depleted of their true essence and their minds were in disarray. Only Lord Luo had a full true essence and his killing intent was overwhelming. He had clearly wiped out all the bandits around him all by himself.

With no fewer than sixty people, it can be said that Lord Luo alone wiped out nearly a quarter of the cultivators from Feiyunfang.

"call--"

Luo Fanchen was panting heavily and did not utter a word.

He slowly lowered his head, his eyes filled with bloodlust, and a murderous aura emanated from him. Wherever his gaze passed, Shou Rufeng and the others fearfully averted their eyes.

Finally, his gaze slowly met Li Miaoyun's, and he carefully observed the pavilion master.

The latter was slightly taken aback, whether intentionally or unprepared, she seemed to be frightened by his gaze and her delicate shoulders tightened.

"Sir, you have been fighting for a long time. Why don't you rest for a while and practice your breathing exercises? You can leave this to me with peace of mind."

Li Miaoyun's voice was slow and gentle, as she moved with the powerful, foundation-building energy, quickly clearing away the surrounding blood and corpses. The courtyard, which had been overflowing with filth, was soon clean as before.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior."

"Mr. Luo and I are close in age, so I am not worthy of being called a senior. How about we be friends as peers?"

Li Miaoyun was beautiful and graceful, and her words were full of flattery, leaving Shou Rufeng and the others dumbfounded and filled with envy.

The owner of Jubao Pavilion is one of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators in Feiyunfang. He has a great deal of influence in the pavilion, and even the elders of Qinghe Sect have to treat him with utmost respect. His business lines cover the five major immortal pavilions, and he comes from a prestigious family. In terms of resources, he far surpasses ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Putting everything else aside, just considering Foundation Establishment spiritual items, even a sect as powerful as Qinghe Sect only has two slots for exchanging for Foundation Establishment spiritual items every ten years.

But it is said that the owner of Jubao Pavilion has ten Foundation Establishment Pills. How can people not be envious of someone who can climb such a high branch?

"This time, Feiyunfang was robbed, but thanks to you, fellow Daoist, you killed the calamity cultivator and protected the peace of this area."

Li Miaoyun glanced at the soul banner, lost in thought.

Luo Fanchen forced a smile. After he stopped practicing his cultivation, a strong sense of emptiness and exhaustion surged up like a spring. He was already seeing stars and had no energy to be polite with this pavilion master.

He genuinely didn't want to have too much to do with Li Miaoyun, even if she had good intentions.

The main problem is that it's uncontrollable. Li Miaoyun's cultivation level far surpasses his, and he's also said to come from a prestigious sect, with a perspective far beyond what Yunmo can match.

He can currently intimidate the other party by pretending to be a disciple of the Xuanmen sect, but after a few more encounters, he will eventually be exposed.

Moreover, he was not familiar with Li Miaoyun's style of doing things or her personality, and dared not easily trust her.

"Sir, you have been kind to my Jubao Pavilion, and this time you have protected my steward Yunmo. I am extremely grateful."

"It was just a small favor."

Luo Fanchen shook his head slightly. He was extremely weak. After the burning sensation in his dantian disappeared, every inch of his flesh was groaning. He was so weak that if he wasn't afraid of losing face, he would have asked Mo Xue to carry him.

"I will send someone to report your achievements to the Luoshen Pavilion, and I will not shortchange you in any way."

"My Treasure Pavilion will also reward you handsomely, sir."

Li Miaoyun's voice was gentle and soft. During the conversation with Luo Fanchen, the Foundation Establishment Gale had already swept away the entire shantytown.

She could naturally see that Luo Fanchen was in a weakened state after the outburst, so she took the initiative to extend her hand and said apologetically, "Miaoyun has been rude. Let me check your injuries first."

Luo Fanchen frowned slightly, extremely averse to having his body invaded by others' true essence, but then he thought, if a Foundation Establishment cultivator wanted to investigate him, why would they need true essence?

It's likely that Li Miaoyun had already observed him closely from the moment he stepped into the mansion.

Li Miaoyun reached out and grasped Luo Fanchen's meridians. Her fingertips were delicate and warm, and the warmth quickly spread throughout his meridians, relieving the emptiness in his body slightly. He took a moment to look at Mo Xue.

But then he saw the girl rubbing her canine teeth together incessantly, gazing at him and Li Miaoyun with a resentful look.

Both the girl and Qiuyun had a dark, condensed stream of true essence connecting them to Miaoyun herself. This was clearly a method used to quickly examine the two women's injuries and replenish their true essence and soul power. "Yunmo, prepare a superior room for the master to rest in."

Li Miaoyun flicked her finger, and several Meridian Opening Pills shot out in front of everyone.

After swallowing the first pill and regaining some strength, Yunmo immediately bowed and obeyed orders. He then used magic to summon the Yellow Turban Warriors, set up a spirit-gathering array with the materials given by the Pavilion Master, and repaired the house.

"Gentlemen, I am a disciple of Jubaoge. I will take you to Jubaoge for accommodation later. Please take some pills and practice breathing exercises to restore your true energy."

Shou Rufeng didn't stand on ceremony. After swallowing pills and practicing breathing exercises for a while, his body finally recovered its strength from the shock.

He bowed deeply, repeatedly expressing his gratitude and reverence.

Logically, they should have been taken to the steward's office. Li Miaoyun's actions were likely to protect Lord Luo.

After all, the Soul Banner is not considered a good thing by the Luoshen Pavilion. They will probably only be truly free after their confessions and some of their memories are processed.

Before long, the house was completely transformed.

Mo Xue and Qiu Yun were fine. After Li Miaoyun personally replenished their true energy, they quickly regained their spirits. However, Luo Fanchen felt increasingly exhausted, and the emptiness in his dantian made it almost impossible for him to walk.

Is it a side effect of the body's vital energy overflowing?
Luo Fanchen smiled bitterly. Last time, when he dissolved his karma, his true essence overflowed three times, and he was weak for several days.

This time, the number of overflows is countless. If it continues for a year or two, we won't be able to laugh anymore.

"Please come with me, sir. I will heal your wounds and replenish your vital energy."

"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Pavilion Master?"

Luo Fanchen's face turned pale. Since he had no strength to resist anyway, he simply gave in.

Li Miaoyun maintained a kind attitude from beginning to end, her demeanor so humble that it was unlike that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. In the eyes of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Qi Refining cultivators were no different from ants.

Clearly, she didn't recognize Otoki Shingen either.

They might even be proud of themselves for climbing the social ladder, but who's climbing on whom is still uncertain.

"I've only been cultivating for a few years longer. The title of Pavilion Master is just an empty name. You can just call me Miaoyun."

Li Miaoyun, with her arched eyebrows, gently extended her arm and took Luo Fanchen's arm, leading him slowly into the newly renovated main hall.

Mo Xue was left alone, gritting her teeth and staring intently. The girl's cheeks puffed out slightly as she said aggrievedly.

“Qiuyun, this pavilion master has ill intentions. With her cultivation level, she could easily move Master Luo inside with a single wisp of true essence.”

"You just have to make physical contact, huh!"

"No way, sister? Senior Miaoyun is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and it's only our first meeting. How could she possibly have feelings for you?"

Qiu Yun smiled gently, her lips moist, and offered her advice. Upon hearing this, Mo Xue belatedly realized what was happening and secretly scolded herself for being overthinking.

Foundation Establishment cultivators, with a lifespan of over two hundred years, are considered to have officially entered the ranks of cultivators and can be called true cultivators.

How could such a senior person fall in love with a mere Qi Refining cultivator? Just as she would never submit to a mortal she had just met.

"Qiuyun sees things clearly. I was too hasty. This Pavilion Master's reputation for being respectful and courteous to scholars is not unfounded."

"It is said that the owner of Jubao Pavilion was born a servant, so he can understand the hardships of us lowly cultivators."

Qiu Yun nodded slightly. The two sisters, who had survived the ordeal, were also extremely exhausted. After whispering some words of praise for Luo Fanchen, they entered the second superior room to rest under Yun Mo's guidance.

The mansion was quiet. Shou Rufeng, Xiao Cui, and the others had been taken into the Jubao Pavilion, leaving only Yunmo in the courtyard.

"I'm going to turn over, hehehe!"

After reporting to the Pavilion Master and taking his leave, Yunmo also respectfully withdrew and reported to the Steward's Office on behalf of the Pavilion Master.

She walked briskly along the way, occasionally covering her mouth with a soft laugh, and sometimes her eyes would redden, feeling both fear of the near-death experience and a sense of relief.

Judging from the Pavilion Master's demeanor and reaction, she had clearly made the right bet; Lord Luo was indeed a true disciple of the Xuanmen sect!
From today onwards, a smooth path awaits her. She even suspects that the Pavilion Master will immediately promote her to Vice Pavilion Master, and that Foundation Establishment in the future will not be a fantasy.

Even families thousands of miles away will gradually prosper because of her, and completely join the ranks of families in the cultivation world.

"cluck"

Yunmo couldn't contain herself and kept laughing. Despite the twists and turns and hardships she had gone through, she had grasped the future.

At the same time, at Luo Fanchen's residence.

On the bed, Luo Fanchen was surrounded by the faint sweet fragrance of daffodils. Li Miaoyun helped him sit cross-legged opposite her, and without any hesitation, she pressed her palms together with his, letting her true energy seep in and carefully smoothing his meridians.

Beside the two were several fragrant medicinal pills that Luo Fanchen couldn't name, but he could tell they were for healing and repairing meridians.

After a while, Li Miaoyun frowned and finished her exercise, her moist red lips forming an arc.

"Master, is there a problem with my meridians?"

Luo Fanchen was slightly taken aback, somewhat worried that the other party had seen through his scheme.

Li Miaoyun slowly shook her head and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "My treatment of your injuries is purely superfluous."

She thought to herself that this was indeed the Xuanzhang inheritance method, and its profound supernatural powers far surpassed any Daoist scripture she had ever encountered.

It should be noted that spells that unleash combat power in a short period of time all have extremely strong side effects.

Whether it was squeezing out vitality or burning essence and lifespan, there was nothing seriously wrong with Lord Luo's body except for slight damage to his meridians due to the overflowing true energy.

Several penetrating wounds even healed on their own, and there were no hidden injuries to any of the body's acupoints.

Especially the lungs and internal organs, which were full of vitality, showed no signs of having experienced a major battle.

Such wondrous skill can only be achieved through profound and mysterious means.

"However, your true energy is somewhat too depleted."

Li Miaoyun was, after all, at the Foundation Establishment stage, and even though Luo Fanchen hadn't used his internal energy to generate Yi Wood True Essence, he could still sense something amiss.

She had observed the remaining True Essence of Yi Wood within the mansion, which was incredibly profound, balanced and peaceful yet contained the might of thunder, like the sweeping force of the Awakening of Insects, possessing the intention to revive all things, yet also lacking the blazing power of heaven's killing intent.

However, the true essence generated by adults today is as thin as water, and cannot even form a mist, making them much weaker than the worst Qi Refining Level 1 rogue cultivator.

This was the true essence refined by Xuanzhang. She didn't even dare to imagine how depleted one's true essence would be with ordinary cultivation methods.

"Ahem. The side effect is just a little weakness."

"If the true essence is too weak, it will be unable to maintain the daily flow of qi in the meridians and acupoints, and will naturally become weak."

Li Miaoyun's insight far surpassed Luo Fanchen's, and she quickly pinpointed the crux of the problem.

"Does the Pavilion Master have any suggestions for alleviating this?"

"I have never heard of such a situation before; it does not seem to be a side effect of the cultivation method."

Li Miaoyun carefully chose her tone, trying her best to obtain some information without offending the other party.

"I observed that you, sir, did not replenish your true essence when you annihilated the evil cultivators, yet when we first met, your dantian was still overflowing with true essence."

"The gentleman is suffering from the cold poison, yet he remains completely unaffected."

"."

Luo Fanchen remained silent, feeling slightly nervous.

The opponent probably guessed that he had a special physique. Li Miaoyun's vision and observation skills far surpassed those of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. He could only be sure that his physique was extraordinary during the battle.

"Rest assured, sir, Miaoyun can form a blood pact with you and will never reveal a single detail to outsiders."

Li Miaoyun guessed Luo Fanchen's concerns, so she immediately took out a blank blood contract, pressed her essence blood on it, and pushed it in front of him without hesitation.

Special physiques are extremely precious and can all be used in medicine and alchemy. One can seize a small portion of their supernatural abilities and characteristics. Among them, there are immortal bodies that are extremely rare and can be used as sacred medicines to help people achieve the Nascent Soul stage.

Blood Pact is a high-grade item of the first tier, sufficient to bind ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Luo Fanchen knew what was going on and politely declined to return the blood pact, shaking his head slightly.

He only had a vague idea of ​​how rare special physiques were. Mo Xue's innate sword bone was undoubtedly top-grade, and his should be not much worse, so he needed to be treated with caution.

However, Li Miaoyun's cultivation level was far higher than his. She instinctively tried to forcefully seize and suppress him, but instead used a show of weakness to gain his trust.

It seems that at least there wasn't much malice towards his physical condition.

"Actually, I only recently discovered that my constitution is special, and I don't know much more about it than the Pavilion Master."

"Could it be related to true essence?"

"That's right"

Luo Fanchen nodded slightly. As long as Li Miaoyun wasn't stupid, she could tell that physique and true essence were related.

After all, his performance in terms of the amount of true essence was truly astonishing.

"I understand."

Li Miaoyun nodded slightly, a glint of shrewdness in her eyes.

True Essence type is one of the most common and best-suited constitutions. Judging from Lord Luo's performance, his constitution is clearly of the superior grade.

They've really climbed to a high position; they're blessed by heaven.

Her smile grew even more amiable as she slowly took out three bottles of pills from her storage ring and pushed them in front of Luo Fanchen.

"Sir, you are in good health and do not need healing. Here are three bottles of Qi-Gathering Pills. Take one pill each day. Once you finish the medicine, your depleted true essence should be replenished, and your weakness will improve."

“I will pay with spirit stones.”

Luo Fanchen felt a pang of unease. After looting the storage bag of the cultivator, he estimated that it was roughly equivalent to three bottles of Qi Condensation Pills.

"No rush, you can get it later. This is our identity jade token. You can use this token to withdraw pills and cultivation techniques."

Miao Yun, with her beautiful and gentle face, slowly handed over a bright gold jade token, signifying the highest-ranking guest of Jubaoge.

VIPs with blue badges or higher can receive interest-free advance payments for spending at the Treasure Pavilion. Luo Fanchen glanced at the jade badge engraved with his name; the amount on the back had three zeros, roughly one thousand spirit stones.
For independent cultivators, this is an absolute fortune.

Just as he was about to take it, Miaoyun lightly flicked her index finger, and the number in the credit limit column disappeared without a trace.

"Then, thank you for your kindness, Pavilion Master. If there is any need in the future, I am willing to do my best for the Treasure Pavilion."

Luo Fanchen was astonished. No credit limit? Didn't that mean he could exploit the loophole of overdue payments, borrow money first, and then use the money borrowed later to pay off the rest? What was the difference between that and getting something for free?
Of course, he knew in his heart that the other party had played this card with the intention of making friends, and he would be too ungrateful if he misused it.

In fact, Miaoyun was racking her brains, hoping that Lord Luo would use it more often.

He held a proud heart towards the orthodox sects of Taoism and was unwilling to accept favors from others; giving them away directly would be a sign of inferiority.

By lending instead of giving, we can make Lord Luo forget the return date, thus maintaining contact with him. In the future, when Lord Luo gains power, these spirit stones can be perfectly transformed into favors and benefits.

Of course, this is only the first step in building a closer relationship.

"Since you are alright, sir, I will not disturb your rest any longer. I will personally visit you with the disciples of Qinghe Sect in three days."

Miaoyun knew that being too enthusiastic would backfire, so she stopped there and got up to take her leave.

She was not satisfied with a simple exchange of benefits, as that would not win Lord Luo's favor. She planned to approach him from multiple angles, starting with Ling Moxue and Ling Qiuyun.

Both women were favored by Lord Luo. He was willing to take the former as his personal disciple and teach her with great care.

The original Heavenly Heart Technique was slightly lacking, but she was going all out. She could find a good opportunity to formally accept disciples and pass on the clan's superior techniques.

The latter provides techniques for cultivating the soul, allowing one to cultivate the path of the Yin Soul. When Lord Luo gains power in the future, it will not be difficult for him to find a physical body for Qiu Yun again.

There are quite a few in the Soul Cleansing Crystal Pavilion. We need to find an excuse to get Qiuyun to take them so we can get closer to her as soon as possible.

"Wow, quite a fruitful harvest."

With a smile on her lips, Li Miaoyun swiftly summoned the disciples of Jubaoge Pavilion to collect Soul Cleansing Crystals and high-grade metal sword techniques.

With a three-pronged approach, gaining the trust and favor of Mo Xue and Qiu Yun, how could one not win the friendship of Lord Luo?
