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

After flying for several hours, the auras of many Jindan cultivators appeared faintly in front. Lin Shiyi put on the mask again and lowered his cultivation level to the middle stage of Jindan.

Soon, several teams of patrolling female monks appeared in front. They stopped several wandering monks and seemed to be questioning them about something.

Those female cultivators were all wearing colorful gauze skirts, revealing their fair arms and jade feet. They were obviously female cultivators from the Jade Maiden Pavilion.

Those wandering cultivators seemed to have escaped from somewhere. They were all covered in wounds and looked pitiful. Some even had broken arms and legs. It was a horrible sight. Without vitality, these cultivators could not recover.

The female cultivators were all soft-hearted. After checking their identities and storage bags, they let them go one by one. Seeing this, Lin Shiyi was a little troubled.

He had already emptied his storage bag, and handed over a large amount of crystals, stolen treasures, and the palm-sized universe containing the interface to Chu Qingyi, letting her use them as resources for refining equipment. So he was not afraid of checking the storage bag, but how to explain this sky-covering compass? This is obviously a top-grade magic weapon...

While he was thinking, the female cultivators had already looked over after checking on a few independent cultivators. Seeing this, he had no choice but to go forward and face them. If he couldn't get away with it, he would have to find a way to subdue these female cultivators.

The other women were still checking the wandering cultivators coming and going, while the two women who looked like the leaders flew towards Lin Shiyi.

These two women, one wearing a blue gauze skirt and the other wearing a red gauze skirt, both were in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

When they saw Lin Shiyi wearing a mask, they all stared at him with some caution.

When they got there, the woman in the red dress took the lead and bowed, "My fellow Taoist, where are you from and where are you going?"

This woman was quite smart. Seeing that Lin Shiyi was suspicious, she did not reveal any information in her words. It seemed that she was trying to trick him.

Lin Shiyi didn't follow her pace. He looked around mysteriously and whispered, "I'm from the Shenxiao Society... I have something important to ask the Saint. Is the Jade Maiden Pavilion in front of me?"

The woman in the red dress was startled, and exchanged glances with the woman in the blue dress, then continued, "Yes...but I don't know why you want to see the Saint?"

Lin Shiyi took out the Heaven-Blocking Compass from his arms and flashed it, then quickly put it back into his arms and said with a smile, "The Divine Sky Association was robbed by bandits, and Shenxing Island was in chaos. I got this item by chance, and I want to present it to the Saint Girl in exchange for some cultivation resources. I hope the two sisters will be accommodating."

The red-dressed woman's expression did not change, but the blue-dressed woman could tell at a glance that the compass was extraordinary. She thought for a while, then said tactfully, "Of course there is no problem, but please let us check your storage bag. If there is no problem, we will let you go.

Lin Shiyi immediately took out the storage bag and handed it to the woman in the blue skirt.

The two women scanned the storage bag with their spiritual sense and checked it carefully. They found that it was filled with elixirs for healing and replenishing vitality, and nothing else.

If you say he is a casual cultivator, he is indeed a bit poor.

All of a sudden, the two women believed most of Lin Shiyi's words. A casual cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm who was carrying around top-grade treasures really couldn't cause any big waves.

Although the treasure is powerful, the more powerful the treasure is, the more vitality it consumes. Treasures of too high a grade cannot be used by low-level and mid-level cultivators. If they are used forcibly, they will be counterattacked by the treasure. They guessed that this might be the reason why this person wanted to sell the treasure.

So they stopped trying to stop them and instead called over another female cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and asked her to take Lin Shiyi to the Jade Maiden Pavilion.

The female cultivator was wearing a white gauze skirt. After receiving the order, she bowed to the two women and took Lin Shiyi through the inspection line and flew towards the rear.

Along the way, Lin Shiyi felt that this female cultivator looked very familiar. He had nothing else to do so he made small talk: "Sister, I see that your cultivation is the same as those two, both in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm, and you are even higher than them. Why do you still bow to them?"

Upon hearing this, the woman in the white dress pouted and said aggrievedly, "Don't mention it! I was a female fairy appointed by the Saint, commanding dozens of cultivators of the same level. But last time I was ordered to capture the Palace Master of the Demon Refining Palace, I ran into a big rapist! That rapist has great magical powers and is extremely bold. He relied on his strength to bully us sisters. Fortunately, we are not destined to die, otherwise we would have been worse off than dead if we fell into the hands of that rapist. But even so, the Saint still demoted me to a low-level female fairy in the Jade Maiden Pavilion on the grounds of mission failure..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shiyi was stunned and almost laughed out loud.

He finally understood why this woman looked familiar. At that time, Gu Jie and Fairy Lily led the two groups of cultivators to capture Lu Qingyao. It was he who pretended to be raping and looting and did all kinds of evil things and scared away the two groups of cultivators. This woman was one of the cultivators sent by the Jade Maiden Pavilion at that time. She was standing quite close to Fairy Lily. She should have been a small leader of the Jade Maiden Pavilion at that time. Unexpectedly, she was demoted now.

Thinking of this, Lin Shiyi adjusted his mask and could only hold back a smile as he consoled her: "Is that so... That's a pity, but you don't have to be discouraged, sister. Your cultivation is not low, and promotion is a matter of time."

After being praised by Lin Shiyi, the woman seemed to open up and started to talk about her grievances.

Something like it's hard to get along in the Jade Maiden Pavilion, she gave so much to the Jade Maiden Pavilion, but ended up doing odd jobs at the bottom, and she wanted to change forces and get along with others.

Lin Shiyi had nothing to do, so he just listened to her complaints and was able to get some information about the Jade Maiden Pavilion from her words.

The woman in the white dress felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and she even brought out the words about how she had given up her lover and devoted herself to following the saint. It was obvious that she was really holding it in.

From this we can see that most of the female practitioners in the Jade Maiden Pavilion are not pure and celibate. They are all enduring and just blindly obey the orders of their superiors, pretending to be untainted by the world.

After listening to her story, Lin Shiyi nodded and said, "I thought that life for us independent cultivators was tough enough. It seems that it's also difficult for you, sister... It turns out that it's not that easy to get along in a powerful organization."

Upon hearing this, the woman seemed to have found a soulmate. She immediately threw away all her reserve, rolled up her sleeves and shouted in a delicate voice, "That's right! I was busy running around for the Jade Maiden Pavilion in the past, and I failed to complete a mission, so I had to start from scratch. This life is unbearable!"

Lin Shiyi was amused by the woman. Seeing that she was also a person of temperament, he asked, "Sister, we hit it off right away. Can you tell me your name? If I have a good place to go, I will call you first!"

The woman was overjoyed when she heard this. She grabbed Lin Shiyi's hand and said, "That's great! Remember, my name is Li Ningshuang. What's your name?"

Lin Shiyi smiled faintly and said, "My name is Lin Jiu, Sister Ningshuang, don't worry, a practical person like you will not be buried."

Back when he was in the Demon Refining Palace, after he made his bold statement, the cultivators from both factions fled in all directions.

Although the leading women of the Jade Maiden Pavilion were afraid, they managed to hold on and did not flee. Only after Fairy Lily gave the order did they flee. Among these fairies was Li Ningshuang, which shows that she was able to hold on at the critical moment.

If one wants to expand one's power, what is needed is this kind of responsible monk, rather than a fence-sitter who talks big but has no bottom line.
