A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

Mu Nanyan didn't want to be reduced to this state. She was also betrayed by someone from her own sect. She wasn't very popular among her disciples, and many even hated her to the core. But there were also some who would actively try to please her to avoid being bullied even more.

Mu Nanyan accidentally encountered an inner sect disciple in the woods. This disciple's cultivation level was lower than hers before, but now it was far superior. Upon seeing Mu Nanyan, the disciple immediately showed a flattering attitude and respectfully called her "Senior Sister Mu" with a face full of flattery.

"Senior Sister Mu, it's great to meet you. Junior Brother Yu and I have discovered a very large obsidian vein, and the obsidian inside is of very high grade." The man said while observing Mu Nanyan's reaction.

When Mu Nanyue heard about the obsidian vein, her eyes lit up. "Oh? Where is it?" Mu Nanyue said bluntly. In her opinion, any good things these people had should be used to please her unconditionally, so it was natural for her to ask this question. If she was not worried that someone more powerful would find it and she would not be able to snatch it away, she would have asked these people to dig it up and give it to her.

I had so much more to say, but that person swallowed it all. It was a bit choking, but it saved me a lot of trouble, didn't it? If the other person was too alert, I would have to think of even more excuses to fool them. This kind of greedy person is the best. Any remaining awkwardness has completely disappeared.

Facing this person's flattery along the way, Mu Nanyan had no vigilance and was easily deceived to the designated location. However, it was not difficult to imagine the ending that awaited her. It was definitely not going to be a good thing.

There was indeed obsidian ore, and it looked like a fairly large vein. But before Mu Nanyan could even rejoice, her spiritual power was restricted. Several people took turns extracting her energy, but they didn't dare to be too aggressive. They kept it for her, so it didn't cause her cultivation to regress, but her spiritual energy was indeed drained away.

These people included not only people from Yunlang Pavilion, but also people from Hehuan Sect and several people from Demon Sect. However, they were all people in the early stage of foundation building with relatively low cultivation levels. Perhaps because her cultivation level was low, people with higher cultivation levels simply looked down on her.

"Haha, this guy was brought back by Junior Brother Xiao, let him go first." The others had no objection. There was a formation in the mine, and no one came to rescue Mu Nanyue even if she screamed at the top of her lungs. Even if someone passed by outside, they would not be able to hear it.

There were a few people inside whose spiritual powers were restricted. The men were all mining, and the woman had also had her essence taken away. However, those people asked her to cooperate with them to go out and cheat people, but the woman refused to do so, and ended up watching next to Mu Nanyue as they took away all her essence, and finally she lost all her cultivation.

It wasn't that they didn't want to resist, nor were they heartless. With their spiritual powers sealed, they were no different from ordinary people, save for their stronger physiques. Furthermore, the other side had two Jindan cultivators, who were useless except for being beaten to a pulp.

The female cultivator whose essence had been completely stripped was also thrown into the mining. Mu Nanyan agreed to help those people. She was already in this state, so why should others be fine? Even if she could escape this calamity, her virginity had been lost before she even established her foundation, which had already ruined her bright future in terms of cultivation. Establishing her foundation in this lifetime would be good enough, unless she switched to practicing some demonic technique and stopped cultivating spiritual power.

In that case, she would drag more people with her to hell. In addition to Ling Ling, she had previously abducted five people, both men and women, using various excuses, including the senior sister who had always taken care of her.

Although the senior sister Shen Yueyao didn't like her very much, she had always taken good care of her because of her master. She also trusted her. She would never believe that the junior sister who had always been under her care would lie to her. She was easily deceived by her, and her spiritual power was banned by her, leaving her unable to resist.

She stared at her junior sister with wide eyes, her face filled with shock, her lips trembling as if she couldn't believe what was happening. "You...you actually helped others to frame me?" Her voice was filled with disbelief and heartache.

Mu Nanyan sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. "Haha, what? You find it unbelievable? Do you think I'll always stand by you? Don't be naive! You usually defend me only because of the master's orders. And I'm just using you."

She bit her lower lip tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. "But... aren't we sisters? Is all this just fake?"

Mu Nanyan sneered: "Senior sisters? So what? In this world, only interests are the most important. Do you really think that I will be grateful to you for being kind to me? Don't be silly! The reason you protect me is not because you want to gain benefits from me? Or, do you want to use me to please the master?"

Her heart ached like a knife. She had never imagined that in her junior sister's heart, the relationship between them was so fragile. "But... Master treats you better than his own daughter. How much pain will you cause him by doing this? How could you bear it?"

Mu Nanyan shrugged disapprovingly: "Master? She treats me well because I can bring value to her. I please her, and she will naturally treat me well. It's all mutual, and I don't owe anyone anything. As for you, you were deceived, and you can only blame yourself for being too stupid."

Shen Yueyao felt a wave of despair rising in her heart. She had never imagined that her junior sister would be such a person.

Of course, she'd encountered more cautious people before, those who didn't believe her and simply turned away. That's why she took her senior sister's token and concocted this alluring treasure, the Nine-Petal Sacred Lotus. Mu Nanyan went to great lengths to deceive others, working for them with all her heart, even hoping they'd give her a chance to live, even if it meant switching to magic.

It’s just a pity that after meeting Lingling, those people failed to steal the chicken and ended up losing the rice, and in their anger they sent her to reincarnation.

Along the way, they cautiously followed the Lost Butterfly. Along the way, they discovered some precious spiritual herbs, especially Moonlight Grass. This spiritual plant wasn't very useful for cultivators, but spiritual beasts greatly enjoyed it, aiding their cultivation. Moonlight Grass could also be used to refine elixirs for spiritual beasts, and they gathered a large quantity. Senior Sister Lingling's Lost Butterfly King was only at the second level. The beast elixirs made from Moonlight Grass would help the King advance rapidly. With enough Moonlight Grass, he could quickly advance to the third level.

The Moonlight Grass was produced by a Moon-Gazing Rabbit that had just reached Level 3. Moon-Gazing Rabbits typically reach Level 2, rarely reaching Level 3. Their meat is also quite good, making it ideal for spiritual food. The Moon-Gazing Rabbit excels at running and leaping, can use wood-based spells, and is already Level 3, equivalent to a human's Golden Core Stage. While the others coveted its flesh, they didn't dare engage it head-on.

In the end, it was Senior Sister Lingling and the little fat boy who attracted the Moon-gazing Rabbit and led it away. The two of them took care of each other to ensure each other's safety, while Du Shuangshuang ran to dig up the Moonlight Grass. The Moon-gazing Rabbit was attracted away, and Du Shuangshuang's luck was gone. She quickly ran over, lifted up a large piece of grass, threw it into the storage bracelet and ran away. The Moon-gazing Rabbit noticed Du Shuangshuang digging the grass the moment she was digging, and quickly rushed back, only to see a large empty space that had been dug up. A large area of Moonlight Grass had been dug up, and the Moon-gazing Rabbit was so angry that it let out a sharp cry. It was the first time Du Shuangshuang heard a rabbit cry, and it turned out that rabbits can cry. Although the Moon-gazing Rabbit was angry, it did not dare to leave again, for fear that someone would dig up all the Moonlight Grass while it was away.

Several people found a relatively safe place and divided the moonlight grass. The moonlight grass was densely packed together on the grass, and the exact number was difficult to count. Finally, they divided it into three equal parts, one for each person.

"Junior sister, you are so smart. How did you think of lifting the grass directly? Usually, people dig spiritual plants one by one, but they can't dig out many grasses. That Moon-gazing Rabbit is too alert and didn't give you much time at all." Ling Ling exclaimed in amazement. Usually, because people cherish spiritual plants, no one would dig them like this. However, this method is very suitable for encountering such a large area of spiritual grass in the secret realm. Even if some of them are damaged, the impact will not be big, and the harvest is obvious!

"Yes! This Moon-Gazing Rabbit is so fast. After it spotted you, it ran back. We chased it and attacked it with magic, but it ignored us. It's so smart." Xiaopang agreed.

Their eyes were full of admiration and appreciation for Du Shuangshuang.

"Junior sister, thank you! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get so much Moon-Watching Grass." Ling Ling sincerely thanked the junior sister.

"You're welcome. Thanks to you for leading the Moon-gazing Rabbit away. I was just lucky." Du Shuangshuang replied modestly.

A few days later, they finally found the senior brothers who had left traces of medicinal powder that Ling Ling had discovered earlier.

There were quite a few people at the reunion, including Senior Brother Chu Yue, Senior Brother Lin Jiang, the Hongtai and Hongkang brothers from Qi Peak, Senior Sister Ling Ling's uncle, Senior Brother Ling Chen, Senior Sister Liu An'an from Fuyao Peak, and many inner and outer disciples of Dao Sect whom he didn't even know. Fat Chen Kai also found his fellow disciples from his own sect and reunited with them.
