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

Qian Jiangyue's face was as gloomy as water. She quickly checked everything and noticed that something was wrong with Fan Ning's expression. She asked softly, "Young friend Fan Ning, do you have a solution?"

Fan Ning seemed a little cold, but did not deny it outright. Instead, he seemed to be thinking about something.

"Isn't it just that we can't find the source, not that we can't solve it?"

Qian Jiangyue hummed, "Demon energy and spiritual energy are ultimately the same entity, so it's unlikely to change much in the short term."

"The difficulty lies in the secret technique created by the current Demon Lord. It traps the demonic energy into living demonic insects. They won't show up while the host is still alive. I can't find them, so there's no way to solve them."

“I can’t find it.”

Fan Ning touched his chin and suddenly said, "What if I can make them appear?"

"After all, that's also considered 'life', right?"

Qian Jiangyue took out a silver needle from his Qiankun bag and said, "This one is contaminated with the medicine I researched before. If the demon insect appears, it will be killed with one strike."

"It's a pity that I've only seen it once before."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, somewhat unwillingly, "If there is still time... I will definitely be able to come up with a solution."

Fan Ning laughed slowly, rubbed his fingertips, and smiled, "Isn't that just a coincidence? I just happen to have a little trick up my sleeve."

----

"You mean, a cultivator who hasn't even established her foundation yet, can resolve the current situation?"

"What nonsense!"

The headmaster, who finally received the summons, looked gloomy.

It’s not because he looks down on Fan Ning, but in the world of immortal cultivation, advancement in realm often represents a deeper understanding and application of spiritual power. What’s more, that is a demonic insect that even the Medicine Saint cannot force out!

"We can't let her be put in danger just because of one side of the story, Junior Sister Qian, this isn't something a junior can handle."

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and said, "The elders who are proficient in formations are already guarding outside the Monster Abyss. Once I figure out the situation, I can lead them out directly."

Qian Jiangyue sighed, "What about these monsters?"

"The Demon King was seriously injured while guarding the abyss. If we abandon them like this, we will lose both our dignity and our reputation."

"Besides, Fan Ning doesn't seem like an ordinary cultivator..."

The head of the sect stopped Qian Jiangyue from trying to give Fan Ning another chance: "She is still too young. Even if she has too much confidence in her own abilities, it is understandable, but..."

"Is it excessive trust or true ability? Wouldn't it be clear if the Sect Master tried it himself?"

Fan Ning walked out from behind the tree trunk alone.

Qian Jiangyue felt inexplicably relieved when he saw how relaxed she was.

The head of the sect frowned, and a terrifying pressure descended from his body.

"I thought you would give up," he said. "That's the life of a demon. It's not something you can try casually."

Fan Ning's face turned pale, but he forced himself to keep his expression unchanged and asked, "It's 'life'. It's precisely because it's 'life' that I dare to propose a solution."

"Of course you don't have to believe it," she said, slowly straightening her spine that had been bent by pressure, and speaking each word clearly, "How about we make a bet?"

"Even if I fail, it will only be my failure. Those monsters will not suffer any greater harm."

"And I've already spoken. If you can't fulfill your promise, will the current situation really be any better?"

"You are quite brave," the head monk looked at the young monk who had no intention of retreating, his eyes dazed for a moment.

The last time he saw such a look was a hundred years ago.

"Are you willing to believe her?" The leader suddenly looked at Qian Jiangyue.

Qian Jiangyue was stunned, and when he met his senior brother's inquiring gaze, his eyes suddenly softened.

"It can't get any worse." She took out her silver needle and pointed at the bright light on it. "I won't do anything that will hurt the injured."

"Have you discussed this? If not, I'll have to go wake up the Demon King."

Fan Ning pointed at the groups of people behind him who were paying close attention to the area and said in a cold voice, "Perhaps he also has a way to eliminate the demonic energy."

Even if it's not as quick and gentle as Qian Jiangyue's, it's still better than the current situation.

However, if they really succeed, the sect’s already disadvantageous situation will become worse and worse.

Judging from the state of those monsters, they have probably been dissatisfied with the sect for a long time.

"What do you want to bet with me?"

The headmaster finally gave in. Seeing that the man in front of him remained neither humble nor arrogant, his aura eased a little.

"If I fail, I'll let you do whatever you want. But if I succeed, how about I ask for one of your requests in return?"

Fan Ning added: "I won't cross your bottom line."

The headmaster was silent for a moment, pinched his brows, and accepted it.

Qian Jiangyue appeared happily: "Then let me be the witness."

After saying that, he winked at Fan Ning frivolously.

"If it works, you'll make a killing. The headmaster won't break his promise. Even if he transforms into a beautiful fairy and dances, that's fine."

Fanning: ...

Fan Ning thought about the scene seriously and then asked, "Is any dance okay?"

The serious leader: "..."

"Qian! Jiang! Yue!"

Qian Jiangyue smiled awkwardly and clasped her hands together in a show of weakness: "Okay, okay, I won't mention it..."

But the expression on her face clearly showed that she would dare to do it again next time.

System: [Is this the world of the strong...?]

[He's even more uninhibited than the host! ]

Fan Ning was silent for a moment, then wiped the blood from the corner of his lips calmly.

Then, she covered her face, extremely calmly, and made a somewhat shy expression.

[You don't have to praise me like that. I know I'm well-behaved and obedient... Of course, it would be even better if you could show some appreciation.]

The system rationally changed the subject: [...Forget it, host, are you so sure of success?]

Fan Ning walked back, not trying to hide his good mood, and began to tease the system: "So what if I failed? People need to be more flexible. I didn't swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, and it's not certain whether the Heavenly Dao here can control me."

system:【……】

The system emphasized again: [Although the host's physical state has been replicated, the bloodline still belongs to this world.]

So it can be managed.

Fan Ning didn't care: [I didn't swear.]

"Besides, I never make a bet that I will lose," she pondered for a moment, and simply waved to Ling You who was standing opposite her with an anxious look on his face.

"Fan Ning!" Ling You's face darkened. "The Demon King has awakened."

Others don’t know what’s going on with the Demon King, but doesn’t he know?

Once the Demon King wants to settle the score later, Fan Ning will be in real danger.

"Don't worry," Fan Ning placed her hand on his shoulder and patted him, "If he really wants to pursue this, you won't be able to send me a message in time."

"It's just a small matter. With a powerful enemy at hand, he won't easily touch me, the future benefactor who can save his people."

"Do you know he will wake up now?" Ling You asked.

"I definitely don't know the exact time, but that's not important," Fan Ning said, looking at the crowd that had gathered around him, appearing remarkably calm. "As long as you possess irreplaceable value, you should be invincible."

She has always been good at risk assessment.

If there is no way out at a certain stage, Fan Ning will definitely be the first to withdraw.

"You really are..." Ling You took several deep breaths, but in the end he still couldn't finish the sentence.

He just looked at the person who seemed to never lose with a complicated expression, following her pace. The softest part of his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, unable to move forward or backward.

What a lunatic.

Ling You thought calmly, Fan Ning was, and so was he.

----

The demon king fell silent as he watched them slowly approaching.

Anger, hatred, humiliation...

There was no negative emotion on his face.

The demon king, who was placed in a high position, just slowly bent down and looked at Fan Ning, who looked up, equally.

"Just call me Qi Mu. When this matter is over, the jade pendant my clan gave me will remain valid forever."

Fan Ning nodded, his face showing no respect for the powerful.

Qi Mu was not angry, but took the initiative to bring up the topic: "Which family are you from? I recognize your strength."

Fan Ning glanced sideways nonchalantly, past the tribesmen surrounding the demon king, and fixed his gaze on the cultivators who all had dazed expressions.

Then he moved the corners of his mouth and smiled widely.

"Fan Ning, just an ordinary useless cultivator."
