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

The letter ended by pointing to a small mound of earth.

It is covered by a layer of fallen leaves. If you brush away the withered leaves, you can see a familiar peony.

Ling You moved away with the peony in his hand. Just as he was about to break it off, he saw the peony in front of him suddenly transform into a "red lotus" that shouldn't exist here.

"..."

Fan Ning raised an eyebrow, understanding in his heart: "So this is the answer to the riddle."

She bent down, but before she could make a move, she was stopped by Ling You.

"Don't touch these," Ling You said in a calm voice, but his expression was sharp and vivid. "...I'll do it."

"I want to see what else is hidden underground!"

The pit wasn't deep, and soon the contents were revealed—a package with the Qianle Sect logo on it. That must be the missing thank-you gift, and in another place...

Ling You picked up a thin booklet and as soon as he opened it, he saw the clear scars inside.

Someone cut it off, and this... is the second half.

Fan Ning only took one look and knew what was going on. He said calmly, "This must be the coveted secret manual of the Lin family. The one that the leader of the Qianle Sect stole... was only half of it."

Ling You was puzzled. After reading through the contents, he felt a little blocked in his heart.

The ancestors of the Lin family have already written annotations on the second half of this so-called "absorbing other people's skills" training method.

The person who first created this technique eventually died due to the backlash of his inner demons. On his deathbed, he used all his life's insights to leave the second half for his descendants, that is, to directly absorb the cultivation of others and transform it into refined spiritual power, convert it into cultivation with minimal loss, and then feed it back to one's own body.

Although the latter's practice is slow, it can ensure that the path of practice is smooth and will not be backfired.

"It seems that when his family was exterminated, he must have been taken away to practice alone." Fan Ning paused, rubbing his fingertips over the last few words, and sighed: "It's a pity that in the end, there was no one by his side."

——"It is easy to give rise to demonic obstacles and not have a good ending."

The eight characters that were originally used to warn future generations were fumbled with day after day, and the color attached to them became a little light.

When only one person was left, the young man named Lin Zhenfeng might have hesitated and wandered for enough time... but that was all.

For those who live for the purpose of revenge, how can they have the opportunity to weigh the pros and cons?

"Give this to Master for record. The Lin family... must leave something behind." Fan Ning said calmly. He glanced at the red lotus that fell to the ground and gradually dissipated, and sighed, "So this is his answer."

"He's not a bad person," Ling You curled his lips. His heart, which had been heavy since he saw the secret book, was still a little heavy. When he mentioned that person again, his tone was rarely more positive.

"Let's go back," Fan Ning turned around, turned his back to the direction of the mountain village, and walked into the wind again.

----

"So that's how it is..." Qian Jiangyue, who got the secret book, was also a little sighing. She had never seen the real "Lin Zhenfeng". The only thing she saw was the "corpse" that disappeared in the dungeon.

But this alone was enough for her to piece together a living person in her mind.

"Then I'll just pretend I didn't see it. If it was the head brother who came this time, you wouldn't be able to get away with it so easily..."

Qian Jiangyue chuckled and lazily destroyed the order to track down "Jiang Xue". At the same time, she glanced at Fan Ning and the other man who were obviously aware of the situation and said seriously, "For this one time only, I won't send anyone to chase him at this time, but I won't hide what needs to be said."

Fan Ning nodded, pointed to something on the table, and explained, "This is a thank-you gift from the disciples to Senior Sister Jiang."

Qian Jiangyue waved her hand and said, "Bie He is currently researching a pill that can cure all kinds of poisons. He will stay here for a while to deal with the aftermath. You should also prepare to depart."

She narrowed her eyes and added, "Master Brother has specifically instructed me this time that you two must use the sect's magical instruments to travel quickly."

"We're already arriving later than the first wave of disciples. If we're late for the sect competition... our Yueli Sect will be in disgrace."

"The above are the original words of the head brother."

Ling You looked embarrassed and retorted softly, "Not really..."

Qian Jiangyue glared at him and added, "Fan Ning is a person with her own ideas, and Ling You and Jiang Biehe will only indulge her—this is also what the head brother said."

"..."

Fan Ning asked with a smile, "What about your instructions?"

Qian Jiangyue smiled, took out a booklet from her sleeve, and slapped it on the table.

"I've listed all the fun things in the South China Sea... There are also some troublesome people in there, if you really can't help it..."

Ling Youpin felt something was wrong: "Can't help it?"

"Remember to put a sack on someone when you beat them up. Also, if you get bullied, report Rong Zhao's name."

"My master?" Ling You felt that there was some hidden secret and turned his gaze to Qian Jiangyue.

Qian Jiangyue smiled, hiding her achievements and fame. "In my early years, I was straightforward and did a lot of work to educate people. When they hear my name, they might have some bad thoughts..."

Ling You: “…”

Fan Ning: “…”

Fan Ning said frankly: "It turns out that I have offended people thoroughly."

"That's not an offense, they're just too narrow-minded," Qian Jiangyue coughed, clearing her name. "To put it bluntly, they're just not as skilled as me. I'm obviously not alone when I'm doing things, but they were fooled by Senior Brother Rong's serious face."

"..."

No, that's probably not the case.

Ling You sighed. After listening to a series of inexplicable love, hate and vengeance, he finally found an opportunity to take the interested Fan Ning out of the house.

With a serious cultivator from the Yueli Sect taking charge of the situation, the affairs of Yongzhou City can indeed be said to have come to an end, and these two "idlers" who have always been at the center and isolated from others can indeed make some preparations to leave.

Time was running out, and on the second day, the magic weapon prepared by Qian Jiangyue landed outside the city.

Ling You twitched his lips when he saw the full appearance of the magic weapon.

"Elder Qian really is... a child at heart."

The shape of the magic weapon is an exquisitely shaped paper crane with a garland on its head. Compared with the fairy-like image of the sect, it looks more like an image pieced together from the mouth of an ordinary child.

It’s too round and lacks the fairy spirit.

"Fan Ning!" A hand stretched down from above.

Fan Ning raised her eyes and met Qin Mingzheng's smiling eyes.

At the same time, Gu Yuanzhou, who heard the voice, also walked out. He just nodded slightly to the two people coming up, and his eyes were once again glued to Qin Mingzheng who was speaking.

Ling You clicked his tongue. In the time it took him to finish a sentence, he saw several more disciples of the Qingyun Sect coming out.

They did not have any arrogant expressions on their faces. They were holding materials and chatting animatedly with the monks next to them.

Ling You rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion, "Which sect's magic weapon is this?"
