Bound to Mary Sue, I am against involution in the world of immortal cultivation

"You seem so careless when you speak like that..."

Ling You sighed helplessly, and without stopping at all, he went towards the elder.

Of course, the cultivation level of Jindan alone could not compete with the elder who had lived for a long time, but he had strong support, and a group of monsters that had already been persuaded by Fan Ning followed closely.

In the end, Ling You became the one who was slacking off. After spreading the powder, he floated away from the battlefield.

Short screams rang out one after another, and some young children were knocked to the ground before they could even make a sound.

"Is that thing of yours not highly poisonous?" Ling You took a breath, looked at the almost one-sided situation, and asked in a low voice the person beside him who was not panicking at all.

"Isn't it too late to ask now?" Fan Ning put his hands in his pockets, obviously very satisfied with the current situation. "I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine."

"Don't you think that the person lying over there looks familiar?"

After her reminder, Ling You finally remembered to look at those people's faces.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you look at it.

"Aren't those the monsters we were fighting?" Ling You's face was solemn. After trying to sort out his thoughts, he suddenly asked, "So there really is something wrong with them?"

A group of monsters that would obey the summons of the Monster King were carefully ambushed... The intentions of the person behind this arrangement were clear as day.

and also……

"Did you actually manage to replicate someone else's medicinal powder?"

"Didn't I tell you before that collecting materials is easy? Why do you think I dared to say that?"

Ling You: ...

This is really action-oriented.

Fan Ning pinched his chin, his expression still calm and composed: "As for them? They just have demonic energy planted in their bodies."

"It's really interesting. The two groups of people infected by the evil spirit are in two completely different states."

"The ignorant ones are unconscious, while the sensible ones are controlled?"

I'm afraid he even expected to run into Ling You and his group, right?

Who will care how people fall down then?

No one would lose out if something happened to them - with so many lives at stake, there was basically no possibility of cooperation between the demon clan and the righteous cultivators.

"This isn't interesting at all..."

Ling You felt powerless.

The fear that had just arisen in my heart disappeared in an instant.

...This really ruins the atmosphere!

But Fan Ning just shook his head in confusion: "That's not the case."

"There's clearly a shortcut. If we infuse this ability into the Demon King, or manipulate them so they think he's giving the orders, subtly controlling their minds one by one... wouldn't that be cleaner than the current situation?"

"Only one voice remains, um..."

Ling You quickly covered her mouth.

The warm breath hit the back of his hand, and he couldn't help but look at the culprit, only to find that she was smiling.

"Talk less," Ling You's momentum dropped in an instant. He sighed, glanced at the monsters here who had no time to pay attention, and reluctantly let go.

"Isn't this situation chaotic enough?"

The system popped up: [Host, please be a human being! ]

【Mary Sue is really not like this. 】

Fan Ning sighed: [That's because you haven't seen enough. Look for the reasons within yourself in everything.]

"It's time to finish."

Fan Ning changed the subject without changing his expression, and glanced with amusement at some of the younger generations who were secretly observing them. Just as he took a step, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Xiao Ningning, this is a serious matter. You shouldn't mind me getting involved, right?"

Qian Jiangyue shook the purse in her hand and winked at Fan Ning, as if she really just wanted to help.

——Even Ling You wouldn’t believe an excuse of this level.

She simply wanted to find out how Fan Ning found the demonic energy. After all, he was a highly respected senior and had seen more of the world than those youngsters who were just starting out.

Maybe we can really find some clues.

"Fan Ning, how about..." Ling You glanced at Fan Ning obscurely, and after noticing that the other person was calm and composed without any change, his vigilance suddenly eased.

"Okay," Fan Ning nodded, borrowing a bag of spirit stones. After casually counting them, she smiled even brighter. "If you want to see more, you'll have to pay more."

"How about one hundred spirit stones?"

Before Qian Jiangyue could say anything, the young cultivator who had quietly followed him couldn't help but speak.

As soon as he put down the knife, he shouted at the top of his voice: "We all have the same goal, why are you the only one who likes to be attracted by money?"

Ling You frowned and turned the person back, but two seconds later, an expressionless head popped out from the side.

Fan Ning: "Because you are trash."

The monk holding a sword: "You!"

"What do you mean, is there any place for you to speak here?"

Fan Ning turned his attention to Qian Jiangyue who was watching the show silently. He noticed that there was still a smile on the other person's face and instantly realized that he was going to lose.

Fan Ning snorted, turned around and poked Ling You's waist.

Ling You: ...

Ling You understood what he meant: "Fan Ning was just joking with you."

He slowed down his tone and looked very gentle.

The monk holding the sword thought they were scared, and was about to say a few more words to show his authority, when Ling You's voice with a faint smile appeared again.

"All this progress was brought about by Fan Ning. How can a mere 100 spirit stones be enough? Shouldn't we at least add a zero at the end?"

Fan Ning popped his head up again, smiling with narrowed eyes: "Elder Qian Jiangyue is in a high position and has great power. If I give him a lower position, I'm afraid it will spread a bad reputation. It's better to..."

"Please forgive me," Qian Jiangyue waved his hands in surrender, as if he had completely ignored the serious yet unwilling expression of the cultivator beside him. The next second, his expression changed to a gentle smile used only to coax others: "I am not in a high position or power, how about this, I give less and let others give more?"

"Have you made contact?" Fan Ning lazily walked out from behind. She did see the unhappy expressions on the faces of the monks who had gathered around her, but she didn't care at all. She even smiled and said, "Looks like he has a backer."

Ling You said helplessly: "Then don't laugh so happily..."

"Don't worry, we're not some bandit den. This is about demonic cultivation. If Xiao Ningning really has a practical solution... everything is easy to discuss. Even if she wants to become Yu Changqing's junior sister, it's not impossible."

The expressions of the other monks changed, and they subconsciously looked at Yu Changqing who was standing with a sword in his arms.

The monk did not expect an answer.

During this period, Yu Changqing remained silent. Not only did he rarely communicate with them, he even reached the point where he was completely detached from them except for protection.

They naturally assumed that this time would be the same.

But unexpectedly, Yu Changqing looked intently at Fan Ning, who had become the center of the crowd without him noticing, and said calmly, "Master has always liked people who are capable and courageous."

Ling You looked at him in surprise.

But soon, his attention was attracted by Fan Ning beside him again.

Fan Ning clapped his hands, showing no sign of wanting to cooperate with them.

"I'm not interested."

"Compared to this..." She dragged out her words and changed the subject, "It seems like the people over there can't wait any longer, huh?"

The tightly tied monster hissed in response.

"Lord Fan Ning," the frightened little monster trembled subconsciously. After realizing that everyone was looking at him, his already tense mood became even more panicked.

"It's just a small problem," Fan Ning walked up to her and patted her head, his tone inexplicably gentle. "If you're scared, just hide behind adults. The things in their bodies can't do anything."

"Isn't that poison...?" The demon who had originally invited people shuddered, and suddenly had a more terrifying guess in his mind.

"Unfortunately, you're even more unlucky," Fan Ning shook his head and quickly pinned down the struggling demon. His expression was solemn. "Now it seems like this is all the work of the demon cultivators."

Ling You: ...

He glanced at the two groups of people who had no intention of asking questions and couldn't help but click his tongue.

You are so good at pretending, as if you know nothing.

Qian Jiangyue also came over to take a look, and after confirming the symptoms, his face also looked unhappy.

"It looks familiar," she said. "I seem to have seen this kind of thing somewhere while traveling."

The monsters' eyes lit up instantly.

Qian Jiangyue's expression was solemn: "But I couldn't find the source, and in the end, those who were infected died."
