If I had known I wouldn't have saved you!

Lin Shiyi came back to his senses and turned around to untie Lu Qingyao, but she screamed in fear: "Don't come over here! Don't touch me! You...get away!!"

Lin Shiyi was stunned. When he looked at the items in his hand, he immediately realized that she had misunderstood. He quickly put the items back into the storage bag and explained awkwardly: "Palace Master, don't be afraid. I just remembered the old things. I didn't mean to do anything to you..."

At this moment, Lu Qingyao no longer had the noble and unapproachable feeling she had before. Instead, she had the pitiful look of a weak woman. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with fear and panic when she was frightened. Lin Shiyi's gaze froze and he slowly scanned her body, staring at her in a daze for a moment.

At this time, Lu Qingyao's hands were tied behind her back, and her long legs were tightly together. She looked extremely fragile and helpless under the dense ropes. One of her small embroidered shoes fell off during her struggle, and her small feet in white socks were slightly curled up.

Seeing Lin Shiyi staring at her blankly, Lu Qingyao was frightened and became even more certain that Lin Shiyi was planning something bad to her. She had just escaped from the wolf's den and fell into the tiger's mouth. After experiencing such ups and downs, she felt extremely desperate in her heart and regretted deeply why she accepted such an evil star and foolishly followed his arrangements.

Lin Shiyi came back to his senses again. He shook his head and suppressed the evil thoughts in his heart. Regardless of Lu Qingyao's fear, he stepped forward to help her untie the immortal rope and put the chain into the storage bag.

"Palace Master, I have helped you so much, so it is not too much to take a rope from you to bind immortals, right?"

He said as a matter of course.

Lu Qingyao was a little confused. After the Immortal Binding Rope was untied, her vitality was fully restored. She hurriedly put on the brocade shoes that had fallen aside, calmed herself down, and stood up.

"Hmph... It's just a rope to bind immortals. I have plenty of them. Take it if you want it."

She snorted coldly and turned to enter the hall.

Lin Shiyi looked at her back and was somewhat dissatisfied with her attitude. He was scared half to death just now, but now that the immortal ropes had been untied, she changed her expression again. This Lu Qingyao was not an easy person to deal with.

He followed him in and found that there was a large formation in the hall that isolated the aura. All the monks from the Demon Refining Palace were densely packed in the formation.

Seeing that Lin Shiyi and Lu Qingyao returned safely, the monks were immediately delighted and started talking about them. Qin Yue even came forward with a smile.

"We are relieved that the Palace Master is safe and sound!"

As Qin Yue spoke, he stepped forward and bowed to the two of them. Seeing this, the monks also bowed and bowed one by one, following suit.

Lu Qingyao nodded, then flew onto the platform, waved her sleeves and sat on the phoenix chair.

Seeing Lin Shiyi still standing there blankly, Lu Qingyao frowned slightly and said, "Junior Brother Lin, why don't you come up?"

"Oh."

Lin Shiyi responded, then flew up to the platform and stood next to Lu Qingyao.

Lu Qingyao looked down at the many cultivators in the hall, and said word by word with dignity: "We were able to survive this catastrophe thanks to the power of the Alchemy Immortal. Today, I will appoint Lin Shiyi as the Great Protector of the Demon Refining Palace. Remember, the words of the protector are my words. From now on, you must not neglect Protector Lin in the slightest, and you must obey his orders on all matters in the palace."

"Yes! Your subordinates will obey the orders of the Palace Master and the Protector!"

The monks all bowed their hands in joy in response, and Qin Yue looked at Lin Shiyi with eyes full of joy and encouragement.

Afterwards, Lu Qingyao asked Lin Shiyi to arrange the next matters, and handed over the several mid-level Yuan Crystals and many low-level Yuan Crystals that he had robbed to him. She herself entered the cabinet of the hall on the grounds of being tired.

After watching Lu Qingyao leave, Lin Shiyi immediately stood on the high platform and gave a lecture like a leader, saying something like, "We are all cultivators, why should we be oppressed?"

What "Yuan Jing belongs to everyone, not to the Jade Maiden Pavilion, not to the Chaos Palace, and certainly not to the Divine Palace."

What is "God King and Jade Lady, are they of any kind?"

As soon as these words came out, the cultivators in the Demon Refining Palace became excited and they couldn't wait to fight with the cultivators from the three major forces.

Seeing the effect, Lin Shiyi immediately expressed his hatred for the three major forces. He immediately integrated with the monks of the Demon Refining Palace. Although he had a high level of cultivation, those monks were no longer afraid of him, nor were they distant from him. They even felt that Lin Shiyi was very kind and wholeheartedly recognized him as their leader.

As soon as the feelings came, Lin Shiyi immediately distributed the snatched Yuan Crystals one by one. Together with the low-level Yuan Crystals that had been dug out from the palace, the cultivators each got three-year-old low-level Yuan Crystals, and no longer had to squeeze together with others to share a piece of low-level Yuan Crystal.

With the benefits given and the same ideals, Lin Shiyi's status has gradually surpassed Lu Qingyao in the hearts of the cultivators.

There is no way around it. This people-friendly concept is of course effective. Lu Qingyao, as the high and mighty Palace Master, will certainly not use it. However, Lin Shiyi and the monks in the Demon Refining Palace share the same ideals and have given them so many benefits. Moreover, he speaks casually, without any pretense and without the airs of a Dharma protector. Of course, the monks think that Lin Shiyi is much better than the unapproachable Lu Qingyao. Now, I am afraid that if Lin Shiyi raises his arm, these people will follow him.

However, he would not do so. It would be a burden to bring so many people with him. It would be better to leave these people to Lu Qingyao. He just wanted to improve his cultivation quickly and then find a way to bring his companions up.

With a foundation of like-mindedness, Lin Shiyi's orders were easily accepted by the cultivators. Of course, he did not issue any special orders. He still just asked them to hide in the Cangshen Pavilion to practice, and promised that they would soon break through to the middle stage of the God Transformation. At that time, everyone would work together to snatch the Yuan Crystals from the three forces.

As soon as the order was given, the monks were overjoyed. They were all ready to fight, and vowed that after reaching the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation, they would give all the forces a hard time.

"Damn it, it's so refreshing to follow Senior Brother Lin! I've become ill from holding it in all the time!"

"I've wanted to fight the people from the Temple of God for a long time! They swallowed my salary and framed me with false charges. I'll remember this grudge!"

"The reason why the Palace Master took us to rob the Jade Maiden Pavilion was also Senior Brother Lin's idea!"

"Yeah, if Senior Brother Lin hadn't come, I don't know how long I would have been frustrated!"

The monks talked and filed out of the hall. Soon, everyone had left, and only Qin Yue was left.

The Demon Refining Palace has been able to make such great progress thanks to Lin Shiyi, and also thanks to her for bringing Lin Shiyi back.

At this moment, she was very excited, and all kinds of complicated emotions filled her mind.

She didn't quite understand what Lin Shiyi had just said. She hated the Shrine only because it had killed her parents, but those words also vaguely awakened her blood.

"Brother Lin...I really don't know how to thank you."

Qin Yue had a complicated expression and her face was flushed with excitement.

Seeing her like this, Lin Shiyi smiled calmly and said, "Junior Sister Qin, we all have the same idea. I just expressed your thoughts. Why do you have to thank me? You should go back and rest. The effect of the Fate-Changing Pill is still there. Maybe if you work a little harder, you can break through to the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation."

Hearing this, Qin Yue nodded heavily and said, "Okay, then Junior Sister will withdraw first, Senior Brother, have a good rest."

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she turned and left the hall with confidence.

Lin Shiyi returned to the cabinet, took out all the intermediate-level Yuan Crystals that Lu Qingyao had given him, and began to absorb the pure intermediate-level Yuan Qi in them.
