The Black Lotus Reborn: The Entire Sect Kneels and Begs for My Forgiveness

Ye Yunong looked up at the shop's signboard.

"This is the place."

She remembered that she had been to this shop before her rebirth. It was a shady shop, supposedly with some connections, specializing in all kinds of counterfeit goods. Ye Yunong had also suffered a great loss here.

At that time, she was confined by her master for several months because of the Jade Vein Pill. After being released from confinement, she was busy managing the miscellaneous affairs of Qinglian Peak.

One day, Ye Yunong returned to her room and found it in a mess, as if someone had run it over, and several of her most treasured magical treasures were missing.

Those spiritual treasures were accumulated by Ye Yunong over the years. She originally planned to use them when she went out to train after successfully establishing her foundation.

But to my surprise, they were all gone.

She hurriedly asked her fellow disciples and learned that her fourth disciple, Qin Nanhuai, had secretly taken the items to the market to sell without her knowledge.

Qin Nanhuai did that simply because his junior sister Lu Jinxin was about to successfully establish her foundation, and he promised Lu Jinxin that he would forge a suitable weapon for her.

Ye Yunong was furious, so she dragged him to the market, found a shop, and wanted to exchange those spiritual treasures back.

Upon arriving at the shop, the owner refused to acknowledge the debt and humiliated Ye Yunong, forbidding her from entering his shop again.

Not only was Ye Yunong wronged, but she also angered Qin Nanhuai, who felt that Ye Yunong had disgraced him and did not speak to her for a month.

When Ye Yunong saw that her fourth junior brother was ignoring her, she tried her best to persuade him and collected some precious materials to give to Qin Nanhuai as an apology.

What's even more ridiculous is that Qin Nanhuai eventually used those materials to forge a famous weapon and gave it to Lu Jinxin. As for Ye Yunong, who had also successfully established her foundation, it wasn't until several months later that he remembered to give her a very ordinary flying sword...

Thinking of the past, dark clouds gathered in Ye Yunong's eyes. She wished she could be reborn and give her former self two slaps.

"I may have been despicable in the past, but Qin Nanhuai and Lu Jinxin were even more despicable. They exploited me to the bone, building their path to success on my suffering."

This time, I will repay you for all the suffering I've endured.

Having learned from her previous experience, Ye Yunong did not rush into the shop rashly; she needed to think things through carefully.

As soon as Qin Nanhuai entered the shop, the owner hurriedly came to greet him.

"Brother Qin, you're here. What good stuff did you bring this time?"

The two were old acquaintances; Qin Nanhuai had visited many times before, and he was a weapon maker.

Compared to ordinary cultivators, the path of cultivation for weapon crafters is much more arduous. Especially before a weapon crafter becomes famous, the success rate of weapon crafting is extremely low, with eight or nine out of ten attempts ending in failure, and the materials consumed are countless.

So much so that before Qin Nanhuai successfully gained the favor of the artifact spirit and became the youngest Grand Artifact Master of the Biluo Sect, he was always the poorest among the disciples of Qinglian Peak.

However, Qin Nanhuai had never lacked materials for refining weapons before this.

Because he has a senior sister, Ye Yunong, whenever Ye Yunong is around, he will ask her directly for any materials he needs. If she is too busy to help, he will go to her room and take some spiritual treasures and stones.

This time, he did the same thing.

It's because Senior Sister has been away from Qinglian Peak for so long that Qin Nanhuai has run out of materials. Just a few days ago, when he went to visit Junior Sister, she grabbed his hand and shook it incessantly, saying that she would soon be at the Foundation Establishment stage and wanted a suitable spiritual weapon.

Seeing his junior sister's pleading eyes, he softened completely and agreed without hesitation.

"Boss, how many spirit stones can I get for these magical treasures? I also have some spirit stones here. How many do we have in total? Is that enough to buy the materials I wanted earlier?"

Qin Nanhuai readily took out all the magical treasures from the box.

The boss glanced at it a few times, unable to hide the joy in his eyes.

Most of these magical treasures were quite expensive, and since Qin Nanhuai was inexperienced, the shopkeeper quoted a low price.

"These materials should be enough for me to forge my junior sister's weapon. If there are any left over, I'll forge one for my senior sister as well, so she won't be jealous of my junior sister again."

Qin Nanhuai walked out of the shop carrying a pile of materials. He didn't even notice that he brushed past Ye Yunong as he left the shop.

In the past few months, Ye Yunong's physique has improved after acquiring the Chaos Spiritual Root, and her figure has also changed. She is also wearing a cone-shaped hat, so Qin Nanhuai does not recognize her at all.

"Young lady, are you here to buy or sell something?"

The shop owner was in a good mood after seeing off a fat sheep.

Upon seeing Ye Yunong, he greeted her with a smile.

"Boss, I'd like to sell something."

Ye Yunong took out a ring, and the shopkeeper's gaze towards her changed upon seeing it.

This artifact ring is far superior to the previous artifact maker.

It should be noted that even in a sect like the Biluo Sect, ordinary disciples do not have item rings; only some highly regarded disciples and elders do.

Wow, this one must be highly regarded in the Biluo Sect.

The boss had his own agenda: he needed to win over this kind of disciple and offer him a good price so that he would become a repeat customer.

"Boss, I'm selling all of these. Name your price."

The shopkeeper quickly calculated the price; the manager's collection was much larger than Ye Yunong's.

In their first instance of double-crossing, Ye Yunong sold a total of five hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

In the market, one mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten low-grade spirit stones. Ye Yunong's monthly salary is only ten low-grade spirit stones. Five thousand low-grade spirit stones would be equivalent to Ye Yunong's monthly salary for several decades.

Ye Yunong bought several more spiritual treasures from the shop to set up spiritual arrays, and the shopkeeper gave her discounted prices.

As Ye Yunong left the shop, she made a point of looking back. The shop owner was happily putting away the box full of low-grade spirit stones and mid-grade spirit treasures.

He didn't know that those magical treasures all had marks left by the dead steward, senior brother.

When items are placed in a ring, those markings will not be detected.

However, once the magical artifact leaves the ring, the aura of the mark will be exposed.

Ye Yunong did some more shopping at the market, carrying large and small bags, before heading to the outer gate of the Biluo Sect.

Before Ye Yunong was reborn, she had a good friend who was an outer disciple of the Biluo Sect. She was also Ye Yunong's only friend.

Not long after Ye Yunong arrived at Qinglian Peak, she went to observe the sect's selection of disciples and met him by chance.

Looking back now, she was the only person who truly cared for Ye Yunong before her rebirth.

She had advised Ye Yunong more than once that those junior brothers from Qinglian Peak were no good, and that Ye Yunong should not open her heart to them, lest she regret it in the future.

However, Ye Yunong, blinded by greed, wouldn't listen to reason at the time. Instigated by her junior brothers, she distanced herself from the other party and broke off contact.

It wasn't until Ye Yunong witnessed her opponent being beaten to death on the sect's competition stage that she regretted her actions; it was too late.
