Nie Wan stopped attacking and relied solely on the Ghost Control Talisman to steadily draw aggro to herself, allowing Xiao Yu and the Ironclad Puppet to deal damage.

Just like when we killed the Bitter Yaksha before, this move is also very effective against Jingyao's lingering resentment.

However, Jingyao's movement speed and attack power are much higher than Kuyasha's. Even a light touch of her claws on Nie Wan would cause forty to fifty thousand damage.

Nie Wan had to constantly use the Kun Dao Lightness Technique to buff herself in order to slightly shake off Jing Yao's relentless pursuit, create distance, use the "Close at Hand" technique, and then use the "Minor Rejuvenation" technique to restore her health.

Fortunately, the boss's defense decreased after going berserk, and Xiaoyu's attack increased by about 5%. With full-force output, Nie Wan only had to chase and flee with Can Nian for ten minutes before she managed to wear Can Nian down.

[Congratulations to player Youyuehan for successfully defeating the Lingbao boss Jingyao Cannian, gaining +2 skill points, +2 attribute points, and +20 reputation]

Nie Wan was enveloped in flashes of white light as the experience points from the complete kill of the level 60 spirit treasure boss fell on her and Xiao Yu, propelling her directly to level 29 and Xiao Yu to level 12.

The enormous phantom image resembled a punctured balloon, instantly deflated.

The excess ghostly energy dissipated, revealing the shadow of the first palace master, Jingyao.

There was a moment of confusion in her eyes, but it quickly cleared up. She looked at Nie Wan and smiled, "You're the one who woke me from my obsession?"

He woke me up.

Senior, your blood is truly thick; you're the epitome of a blood-rich cow and the most ghostly of all.

As Nie Wan drank the Refreshing Dew to regain her blue aura, she mentally complained.

"Yes."

Jingyao nodded slightly, a hint of melancholy in her eyes: "I never thought that after a single thought led me to become a demon and wreaked havoc for a hundred years, I would have to rely on the Lion's Roar of a descendant to awaken my sanity. It's truly lamentable."

[You sense that Jingyao still has unresolved issues and worries. Should you inquire further?]

【Yes. 】

You have accepted the quest "The Sorrow of Losing a Daughter".

After accepting the mission, Jingyao smiled sincerely at Nie Wan: "Thank you for still being willing to listen to the old stories of this old monster."

She recounted in a rambling manner how, after being betrayed by a heartless man, she was saved by the Moon Goddess, who imparted to her the Dharma, enabling her to establish her own sect and gain widespread fame.

However, due to heartbreak in his youth, he became overly controlling of his daughter, which led her astray. She eloped with a heartless man and was ultimately humiliated to death.

Overwhelmed with grief, she went mad trying to save her daughter, but ultimately failed and died from a mental breakdown.

"The ridiculous thing is that even knowing it's all an illusion, even at this point, I still want to see her one more time, to tell her the things I didn't finish saying... I've heard that there's a kind of incense that can bring the dead back to life. Even though so many years have passed and Ling'er's bones have turned to ash, if we light the incense, perhaps we can see her soul again."

"I have the Rejuvenation Incense here."

Without needing any system prompts, Nie Wan took the Rejuvenation Incense out of her backpack and handed it to Jing Yao.

After returning to the Cold Moon Immortal Palace, her desire to reclaim the palace grew stronger and stronger. Now she didn't want to waste a single minute and just wanted to complete all the tasks as soon as possible.

But no matter how fast, she wouldn't be perfunctory.

Thinking of the regrets that Jingyao showed in her past life, she gave her a reminder.

"But I don't think this thing will be as effective as you think. I found it in the tomb of a great man who went mad in his desire to resurrect his beloved concubine, collecting everything that was rumored to be able to bring the dead back to life. But in the end, he died for some reason before he could resurrect the one he loved."

"I don't know if the Rejuvenation Incense is just a legend with no real meaning, but I do know that being too obsessed will only hinder your progress."

As Nie Wan spoke, she suddenly seemed to have a premonition, vaguely recalling the dreams she had every night when her parents had just passed away.

In my dream, my parents were still there.

In her dream, they invited her to stay.

However, Nie Wan never stopped.

Because she clearly remembered what her parents told her when they were alive: irreversible separation brings pain, but it is precisely because of that pain that life has weight.

Carrying pain forward is more in line with the true purpose of life than indulging in meaningless fantasies.

"I think that while people are alive, they can do whatever they want to defy fate. But death is another matter; there's no way to fight against it."

As soon as she said those words, Nie Wan realized she had been too talkative, as this had gone beyond the scope of her mission.

So she said no more, only, "Whether you can see it or not, try to think positively."

Jingyao paused, stared at Nie Wan for a moment, and said, "What you're saying sounds so familiar..."

She hesitated, biting her lip, but ultimately couldn't resist the desire in her heart and lit the Resurrection Incense.

The wisps of smoke enveloped her. Nie Wan didn't know what she saw in her past life, and she still doesn't know in this life. All she knows is that after the smoke dissipated, Jing Yao smiled helplessly.

"As expected... it was fake..."

Congratulations on completing the quest "The Sorrow of Losing a Daughter"! You have gained 25000 experience points, +5 attribute points, and +1 skill point.

She looked up at Nie Wan and said, "Child, although you are young, you are much more clear-headed than I am, who have lived for hundreds of years. Perhaps it is more appropriate to leave this to you than to me."

She raised her hand and unleashed a beam of green light, which floated before Nie Wan's eyes and transformed into two objects that landed in Nie Wan's palm.

"The Moon Goddess said that the bright moon hangs in the night sky, unchanging through the ages, and its essence is nothing more than the word 'heartlessness'. If a person can be heartless, he too can remain unchanging through the ages."

“But I can understand her words, yet I cannot put her teachings into practice. So I know that I cannot become her successor, but merely a bridge in between. Fortunately, I have waited for you.”

Jingyao smiled.

“Girl, thank you for letting me know that there really are such people in this world. There are indeed people who can practice the Way of the Moon Goddess.”

“I think you are more qualified than I to receive her legacy.”

Congratulations! You have acquired the Taiyin Successor profession.

As the golden light descended, Nie Wan's entire career template changed, and two items landed in her hands.

The huge amount of experience points made the experience bar jump, and Nie Wan leveled up to level 30.

The objects that landed in my hand revealed themselves: one was a delicately crafted small sword, and the other was something shaped like a water droplet.

[The Toad Sword Soaked in Cold Water]

【Taiyin Divine Water】

As expected, these are the two items, and the career inheritance template has indeed directly changed to Taiyin Inheritor.

Nie Wan smiled as she looked at the Cold Water Soaked Toad Sword that had fallen into her hand.

The old buddy is finally back in her hands.

The Cold Water Soaked Toad Sword is entirely aquamarine. Although it looks like a small sword, it is only the size of a hairpin. After clicking to equip and use it, it will be inserted into the head on the left and right sides, along with the Jade Toad Eternal Hairpin.

With the addition of the "Starry Night and Moonlit Night" earrings, it's clearly a set of jewelry and headwear.

When the three items are combined, the set effect becomes +20% True Qi and 10% faster skill cooldown.

This kind of jewelry set isn't entirely new. If the first person to kill the Ice and Fire God dungeon is female, she's very likely to get a set of Fire Yi Headgear, which provides a huge attribute bonus. The set effect also increases experience gained from killing monsters, and it's exquisitely crafted, so it's naturally very popular with female players.

Even Nie Wan was no exception.

Although she missed the first kill of the Ice and Fire God, she still spent a long time grinding in it and finally got three pieces of jewelry, which gave her a +1% experience bonus from the set.

However, compared to the Ice and Fire Divine Realm set, the Cold Moon Immortal Palace jewelry set is definitely more suitable for her.

Nie Wan remembered seeing a Gui Po Liu Bo necklace that briefly appeared at a player auction in her previous life. The name was very similar to these three items, and she took a liking to it at the time. However, when she contacted the auctioneer to buy it, the other party never responded.

Since she had never obtained the necklace, Nie Wan didn't know whether it was part of a set with items like the Cold Water Toad Sword.

Right now, before Jingyao's spirits dissipate, she must ask her the question.
