The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Although Yun Yici moved lightly, Ning Tinglan still noticed.

He turned his head and saw Yun Yici, and the aloofness in his eyes vanished instantly.

"Junior sister."

Yun Yici asked, "Senior Brother Ning, are you looking at a cultivation technique?"

Ning Tinglan couldn't help but glance again at the wall full of top-grade cultivation techniques displayed in front of her.

He looked away and said, "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet."

He had never thought there was anything wrong with following Wen Fuyue to learn mortal techniques.

It wasn't until this time that I saw my master and fellow disciples hanging by a thread.

He suddenly realized that although he might be emotionally detached, he was by no means devoid of any feelings.

The words "severing all ties and love" are too heavy for him right now.

He doesn't know if he will regret his decision today in the future.

For Ning Tinglan, if she was unsure whether the path she was on was right or wrong, she should turn back.

However, he was also worried that this move would disappoint Wen Fuyue.

"What did you choose, junior sister?"

Seeing that he seemed unwilling to talk about his own affairs, Yun Yici said, "I picked out an egg and a spirit stone for Huaichuan. I was thinking of going back to pick out a defensive magic weapon after I've made my way around."

Ning Tinglan said, "I also happen to want to take a look around. If you don't mind, could you give me some suggestions?"

Since he said so, Yun Yici went with him.

Yun Yici wasn't particularly interested in cultivation techniques, so the two of them started from the treasure shelf where the techniques were kept.

After browsing around, Ning Tinglan didn't give away any of the spirit-storing stones, but Yun Yici picked out a decent defensive magic weapon instead.

This is a ceremonial robe, made primarily of precious moonstone. After being refined through countless processes, the moonstone is combined with the finest mermaid gauze, making it as thin as a cicada's wing, waterproof, and corrosion-resistant. When worn over normal clothing, its original color is transparent.

Of course, this is definitely not worn over an outer garment; Yun Yici thought it would be perfect to wear a layer over an inner garment.

Moreover, once worn, the size, length, and even color can be changed according to the owner's wishes, which is extremely convenient and does not require her to spend any extra effort to activate it.

This can be considered a top-grade magic weapon, capable of blocking attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators, but it's not enough against Deity Transformation cultivators.

Huai Chuan also agreed that if they didn't have any defensive magic weapons on hand, they could use other ones first.

Thus, Yun Yici selected her three chances. With the system's terrible rewards as a comparison, she couldn't be more satisfied.

Ning Tinglan was with her and occasionally offered some advice. He thought the defensive robe she had chosen was quite good, but he himself didn't choose anything.

Yun Yici wanted to accompany him for another stroll, but Ning Tinglan said he wanted to wait for Wen Fuyue to return and ask for his opinion before making a decision.

The two disciples headed towards the exit of the ninth floor, intending to wait for their fellow disciples there. However, when they arrived, they discovered that Elder Li was already waiting at the exit.

Yun Yici looked surprised and quickly walked over with Ning Tinglan, saying, "Elder Li."

Elder Li smiled gently and said, "Those who have already chosen have gone out first. Which of you two will go first?"

What treasures a disciple exchanges in the Treasure Pavilion is kept secret from outsiders.

The disciples have a good relationship, and it's fine for them to inform each other privately.

The Treasure Pavilion absolutely forbids any information from being leaked to outsiders.

Ning Tinglan replied, "Elder Li, I haven't decided yet. I'll go back and ask my master before I come back. I'll head out now."

After he finished speaking, he said to Yun Yici, "Junior Sister, I'll wait for you outside."

After she agreed, Ning Tinglan went out first.

Yun Yici originally wanted to describe to Elder Li what she had chosen.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Elder Li formed a hand seal, and a thick, gleaming magical artifact, resembling an account book, appeared out of thin air in front of the two of them.

Moreover, the pages inside began to turn rapidly on their own, even without any wind.

Before long, the book stopped, and Elder Li produced a writing brush that matched the account book.

Elder Li looked at the items listed above and laughed in surprise, "You master and disciple have quite a tacit understanding, each of you redeeming the other."

"Let's make it clear beforehand that if it's returned, the Treasure Pavilion won't take it back."

Back then, when Wen Fuyue made a move on their ancestral treasure, the divine beast egg, the entire sect was in an uproar.

The treasure pavilion deliberately set a high price, but unexpectedly, no one could afford it.

As a result, this egg was kept in the treasure pavilion for so many years, but there was no sign of it hatching at all.

In the end, they were taken back by people from the mortal world.

Rounding up, Wen Fuyue made over eight million contribution points for nothing by simply changing hands.

The Treasure Pavilion can't afford a second time to lose money like this.

Yun Yici: It turns out that the treacherous brat with a great business sense was my master.

No, that means her master is super rich!!!

Elder Li made a joke and with a flourish of his pen, crossed out the record about the divine beast egg from the ledger.

After she made that stroke, the transaction was complete. The restrictions on the divine beast egg were removed, and it appeared out of thin air in front of the two of them in the dim light.

Yun Yici hadn't felt anything when she was face to face with the egg before, but now that the restriction was removed, the unique scent of the sea carried by the sea stone wafted towards her.

Elder Li said, "The hatching stone below was specially brought from the Demon Realm Sea. It contains recyclable seawater. If you take the egg, there's no use for the hatching stone. So, we'll give this to you as well."

Yun Yici thanked her repeatedly with delight.

After Elder Li handed over the spirit stones and robes that Huai Chuan had chosen, she carefully put away all three treasures she had selected.

Elder Li remained standing in the same spot, presumably because there were still some people who hadn't come out yet.

Yun Yi bowed to her and left. Xie Qianjue, Lin Jinliu, Wan Baili and others were all there when she left.

After chatting for a while, Xiong Biao and Liu Qingyue came out.

Elder Li followed them out and resealed the ninth floor.

Liu Qingyue awkwardly tucked the stray hairs that had fallen across her forehead behind her ear. "Senior brothers and sisters, I've kept you waiting. It took me a while to find something."

Lin Jin smiled and said, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do this afternoon, so there's no need to be so polite. We'll have plenty of opportunities to get to know each other in the future."

Baili Tingyu said, "That's true. If it weren't for Junior Brother Mu's ongoing injuries, we might have already started special training."

The last selection at the Buddha-Demon Tower was to choose ten disciples to participate in the Sword Trial Tournament. Now that the candidates have been selected, the special training should have started in full swing long ago.

All eyes turned to Yun Yici and Ning Tinglan. Lin Jin said, "I wonder how Junior Brother Mu's injury is."

When they went to Yifeng to visit Yun Yici, they originally intended to visit Xia Muyunjian as well.

However, Wen Fuyue told them that because Mu Yunjian's injuries were special, he was sent down the mountain to a friend's place to recuperate as soon as he was discovered, and he would return after a while.

Yun Yici forced a few words to make excuses, and then felt a slight tremor coming from the exquisite box containing the baby rabbit in her sleeve.

Her expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly covered her sleeve. She desperately hoped that Mu Yunjian wouldn't transform into human form under everyone's watchful eyes!

You'll be seen as a pervert!!
