All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Feng Ning and Xue Feng looked at each other, wondering why she was crying as soon as she arrived.

But they couldn't just stand by and watch her sit there crying, so Feng Ning went over and pulled her up.

"This... Senior Sister? Don't cry yet, stand up and say what you have to say."

The woman looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, and used her strength to stand up.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Xue Feng quickly asked, "Lin Tanyu? What happened to you? How did you get involved with such a big guy?"

Lin Tanyu glanced at the giant spider with tearful eyes and sobbed, "I don't know either. I saw it as soon as I appeared here. I didn't provoke it, but it kept chasing me and I couldn't shake it off. I couldn't beat it, so I could only hide in the alchemy furnace."

Xue Feng was speechless, then laughed, "I must say, your trick is actually quite effective."

Lin Tanyu glanced at him and laughed, "Right? I also think I'm pretty smart, but it drags the alchemy furnace around, swaying so much, it makes my whole body hurt."

Xue Feng smiled and said, "It's good enough that we survived. If it weren't for my junior sister's formation, all three of us would have died here.

Speaking of formations, Lin Tanyu then looked at Feng Ning and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister Feng Ning. My name is Lin Tanyu, and I am a disciple of the Alchemy Peak. I have heard of you and seen you before, but I never expected to meet you by chance this time."

Feng Ning greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Senior Sister Lin."

Xue Feng quickly said, "Actually, you've met Lin Tanyu before."

"When?" Feng Ning asked, puzzled.

If she had seen him before, why didn't she know? She doesn't remember ever seeing such a person.

"You forgot? During the competition before, the one who was swinging the alchemy furnace on the field, that was her."

Feng Ning stared wide-eyed at Lin Tanyu in disbelief.

"It's you?"

Lin Tanyu scratched his head sheepishly, "It's me..."

"Wow... amazing! So it's true that Lin Daiyu uprooted the willow tree. You two sisters, right? And Lin Tanyu swung the alchemy furnace with one hand?"

Lin Tanyu blinked her big, bright eyes. "Who is Lin Daiyu? I don't have any sisters."

Feng Ning quickly shook her head, "She's from our hometown. I heard she's so delicate she could uproot a willow tree."

"That does look quite similar, hehe."

She wasn't embarrassed at all; on the contrary, she felt like she had found a kindred spirit.

"If I have the chance, I must go with you to see this Miss Lin. Maybe we really are good sisters who haven't seen each other for many years."

Feng Ning smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, maybe we'll see when we have the chance. They're all legendary figures, I don't even know if I'll be able to meet them."

Those are all characters in novels; who knows if they're real or not? You might not even be able to meet them.

However, she did become somewhat curious about this Lin Tanyu.

"Senior Sister Lin, what made you think of using the alchemy furnace to attack people?"

She was really curious. After she came here, most of the girls she met believed that you should be beautiful even when you're fighting.

Whether it's a ceremonial robe or ordinary clothes, the designs are all ethereal and exquisite.

When cultivating, many people choose swords as their magical implements, some use whips, and very few use knives, let alone alchemy furnaces.

Such a large alchemy furnace must be very heavy, right?

Lin Tanyu said with a smile, "You know, I'm just an alchemist. I'm really not good at fighting. In that situation, if I had rushed in to fight, I would definitely have lost. It was better to defend."

She showed them her alchemy furnace, saying, "My alchemy furnace is also a magic weapon, and it's a high-grade earth-level magic weapon. Ordinary people's attacks can't hurt it, so I thought that if I swung it, it could withstand most attacks."

Feng Ning couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, "Your move was absolutely brilliant!"

Her eyes suddenly lit up. "Really? You think so too?"

Feng Ning nodded, then said, "But I think you might have a better way."

"any solution?"

"Just like now, they put themselves directly into the alchemy furnace. Those below the Nascent Soul stage can't do anything to you for a while. As long as you can stall for time, you can wait for someone to come and save you."

"That's right! How come I didn't think of that!"

Xue Feng curled his lip. "Who said you didn't think of that? Didn't you do a good job just now?"

Feng Ning added, "However, you can only use this method in ordinary small competitions. If you really encounter a life-threatening situation, it won't be of any use even if you hide inside. They might just take you and your alchemy furnace together."

Lin Tanyu nodded and put away the alchemy furnace. "I understand."

Feng Ning also went over and removed the formation. "Senior Sister Lin, Senior Brother Xue, this spider has some treasures on it. Do you see anything you need?"

Xue Feng quickly shook his head, "No, I'm a sword cultivator, I don't need this. Besides, I didn't do anything, you two can share it."

Lin Tanyu also shook her head, "Junior Sister Feng, you should keep it. If it weren't for you saving my life, I might be inside the spider's belly right now. I don't want anything."

Feng Ning paused, then said, "Then I'll decide how to divide it myself."

She chopped off the spider's four strongest legs and handed them to Xue Feng, saying, "Senior Brother Xue, keep these spider legs safe. They're good materials for refining weapons. Have someone reinforce your blade later."

They also unearthed a spider's demon core. "Senior Sister Lin, this spider's demon core contains neurotoxins. You might find it useful for alchemy, so I'll give it to you."

The two looked at what was in front of them, at a loss.

"Junior sister, I can't accept this. You killed this spider."

"Yes, I can't accept it either. You saved me, so how can I share anything with you?"

Feng Ning said calmly, "Keep it. Since we've run into each other, we might have to travel together again in the future, so we can share whatever we have."

She looked at the spider's abdomen, where glands store spider silk fluid, which is expelled when the spider spins its silk.

She wasn't interested in the spider legs or the demon core; the spider silk, on the other hand, was more useful to her.

She dug out the spider's glands; the spider silk fluid inside might be useful, perhaps even enough to create a magical artifact.

She happily put the things away, and then found a separate mustard bag to put the spider's corpse inside.

Seeing that she had accepted it, the other two stopped being coy and obediently put their things away.

Then, Lin Tanyu looked at Feng Ning and asked, "What should we do now? Should we keep going or rest?"
