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

"The door... was swallowed?"

The monks, whose joy was beyond words, had not yet reacted and could only repeat Fan Ning's words dully.

Ten seconds later, the monk who first ran to the two of them stumbled and fell to the ground, with only astonishment on his face, without any sense of relief for escaping death.

"...Explain it more clearly," Ling You waved his hand, first signaling them not to panic too much, and then pulled Fan Ning's sleeve, making that worry-free face face him again.

"It's already this late, so please control your bad temper," he said in a calm tone, sounding somewhat helpless. "Once we get out, these monks will definitely be willing to compensate you in this regard."

"..."

"Yes," the nominated monk agreed, bearing the humiliation and feeling extremely aggrieved.

System Tucao: [A good monk, now completely played in the palm of someone's hand! Host, you...]

"A system that disconnects during combat has no right to speak," Fan Ning scoffed, mocking him without favoritism. "Where's the promised system update? It disconnects just like that..."

[I suggest you compensate me with 10,000 heart points. I will definitely pretend nothing happened.]

System: [Your hush money is a bit expensive.]

Fan Ning: [How can a cheap product be good?]

System: […I will try my best to apply for compensation. Please be mentally prepared.]

——A heart-throb value of 10,000 is absolutely impossible!

"Fan Ning?" Ling You, who hadn't received a response for a long time, poked again.

Fanning grabbed his wrist.

The warm touch came along the other end of the skin, along with those sparkling eyes.

Ling You fell silent, the heat in his ears preventing him from finishing his words.

"What's the rush?" Fan Ning raised his eyelids, his gaze casually falling on the group of people in front of him, and yawned. "It just swallowed the door, it didn't digest it. Can't you guess where it is?"

The monks were all stunned, and then the one who was sitting on the ground turned his attention to the neglected sword first.

Memories that I had almost forgotten came to mind.

The monk sitting on the ground stood up and said, "Who threw it into the pile of magical tools just now? It can't be refined at all!"

There was no answer. Someone swallowed and stared at the long sword that Ling You picked up again, as if he was completely awake.

"Is it...?" someone spoke in the chaos.

Ling You didn't ask Fan Ning beside him, but just used his spiritual power to carefully check the inside of the sword, and his eyes fell on the sword tassel that was already gray and could no longer be recognized.

It seemed like it had been obscured by something, and now that the magic had lost its effect, its appearance had reappeared.

"This is……"

"The Liuyan Stone, in theory, is just something that extends the magic, it doesn't have much effect."

"In theory?" Ling You lowered his eyes and looked calmly at Fan Ning, who had something else in his words.

Fan Ning waved his hands, seeming a little surprised by the current situation. "Yes, in theory."

"As for this one, let's consider it a mutated Flowing Stone. It not only retains the longsword's original bewitching power, but also subtly counteracts it..."

Fan Ning: "What a hard-working stone it is! How embarrassing for the others of the same kind."

"It's probably the treasure that thing doesn't dare to get close to and wants to hide."

Ling You: "...this location?"

He stretched out his hand and held the sword tassel. After feeling the faint trace of being tied, his expression became a little solemn.

...What kind of thing is it that would rather explode than hide?

"Can you let us take a look?" The monk standing nearby observing silently extended a tentative hand.

Cast stone is not a very precious material, but with the word "mutation" added, its potential is completely incomparable.

Especially those words that Fan Ning said lightly.

It's no exaggeration to call this a rare find from an auction! It's one of a kind, and you might never see it again!

"..."

Ling You suddenly met several pairs of hungry eyes. He closed his eyes and handed over the things.

The small sword tassel was immediately submerged by the crowd.

Ling You: “…”

Ling You: "Forget it."

He didn't bother with these weapon refiners who couldn't move when they saw good things.

After all, they had made efforts before. Ling You thought, after making such a big sacrifice, it is inevitable that they want to see more good things, right?

He thought he understood, and then...

I just waited for a cup of tea.

Ling You: “…”

Ling You looked at the circle of monks who were still fanatically looking around, and he could no longer bear it: "How long are you going to keep watching?"

There was silence. Even the few who looked up were non-staff monks whose professions were not related to the subject and who had nothing to do with it.

"..."

Fan Ning smiled.

"Let them continue watching," she said with a compassionate look, but her tone suddenly changed. "After all... they won't be able to watch for much longer."

The monks raised their heads silently.

Ling You: “…”

"You guys, really... forget it," he pinched his brows and said, "Now it's time to get down to business."

The monks nodded, then turned their gaze to Fan Ning.

Ling You: ...I forgot there is someone here who likes to watch the fun and make trouble.

"Is it beautiful? It's a very precious spirit stone."

Fan Ning pinched his chin and said seriously, "It's really a treasure that makes people have to be extremely careful even when using it..."

The monk who knew the goods said: "Hmm."

She glanced at the Liuyan stones clustered in the center and smiled.

"Then destroy it."

Monk: “Hmm…Hmm?”

The monk was shocked: "What was destroyed? This is an extremely valuable treasure!"

"More important than your lives?" Fan Ning asked, rubbing his ears and saying lazily, "If I had known you didn't want to live, I wouldn't have done so much just now."

"..."

"Does it have to be destroyed?"

Fan Ning smiled.

The slightly shiny ears of corn are exposed to the wind and will soon become completely cold.

"Let me do it," Ling You sighed, not doubting her intention and not intending to ask.

He simply took the ear of corn held in everyone's hands without any hesitation, and pressed his fingertips with spiritual power to create a crack.

There was a "click".

The hearts of the Qingyun Sect monks were also broken.

They stared at the Liuyan Stone that was beginning to break, and when they blinked, everything in their sight became blurry.

Gradually, even the cracks disappeared.

"what happened?"

The monk closest to him patted his head, trying to get out of the quagmire.

But the fact is that it has no effect.

At the same time, Ling You, who still remained sober, looked at Fan Ning beside him.

He took a deep breath, and countless words flashed through his mind. In the end, he could only sincerely and weakly ask: "What about the promise to do it next time?"

Fan Ning: "Hmm..."

Fan Ning clasped his hands together, his clear eyes looking especially innocent: "But isn't this time over yet? Like I said, this is only half solved."

Ling You: “…”

He couldn't refute it.

The system was shocked: [Host, you are really amazing.]
