Off the coast of Temple City, the Fusang Immortal Wood radiated a brilliant red light, surrounded by an ethereal aura, occupying over a hundred acres of Sea Surface, resembling a massive green floating island. Everywhere on it were Celestial Birds, each either adorably cute or impressively majestic. Among them were Phoenixes, Divine Dragons, Xuanwu, Pegasi, Gu Diao, Azure Phoenixes, Bi Fang, and Cranes... a dazzling array of spirit beasts, mostly at the level of naturally born spirit beasts. They were still young and not very powerful yet, but they would surely become the revitalizing force of the Nine Li Sect in the future.
Yin Li'er particularly favored the young Phoenix. However, she strongly protested against Li Hong naming it Little Earth, claiming it was an extremely unpleasant name. Therefore, she took it upon herself to rename Little Earth to Yin Feng'er. Unfortunately, Little Earth did not acknowledge this new name; whenever Li Hong called out "Little Earth," the Little Phoenix would still happily fly over to him, showing great affection.
Over a hundred spirit beasts of various sizes resided on this Fusang Immortal Wood. The entire Fusang Immortal Wood was filled with immense Spiritual Energy and was bustling with activity. Occasionally, a melodious call from a Celestial Bird would ring out, prompting all the spirit beasts to join in with their own roars. Some sounded delicate and sweet; others still had baby-like voices but would undoubtedly shake the heavens with their cries in the future.
However, there were no terrifying Ancient Spirit Beasts like Qilin or Oni Kui Niu here. This was likely due to the differences between viviparous and oviparous species. Qilin and other Ancient Spirit Beasts are viviparous and rely on generations of bloodline inheritance; they do not lay eggs. This resulted in the absence of these super strong spirit beasts in Temple City's army of spirit beasts, which was the only aspect that Li Hong found somewhat lacking.
After observing the army of spirit beasts, Li Hong personally selected an egg from the ninth layer of spirit beast eggs to give to Yue Ting, along with all the catalyst materials he had prepared. He instructed Yue Ting to hatch a spirit beast that belonged to him. This egg contained a Winged White Tiger, specifically chosen by Li Hong for Yue Ting. It is known that there is only one Winged White Tiger in the entire Cultivation World, famous throughout the land—Xuan Xuzi's. The future second one will also be renowned: Yue Ting's white tiger. This reflects Li Hong's expectations for his disciple.
In addition to this, he left Yue Ting with a large amount of homework regarding Mid-Level Spirit Talismans. Yue Ting was currently at the late stage of Qi Refinement and could not yet wield magical treasures; it was not yet time for him to learn Six Veins swordsmanship. At this stage, he could only focus on Spirit Talismans.
With this thought in mind, Li Hong realized that there were actually very few Divination Techniques available in Nine Li Sect; aside from swordsmanship, there were only Talismans available for disciples to learn. It seemed that Ling Yi Zi was right; he must go to the Silk Scroll Room to thoroughly comprehend those Star Sect Divine Techniques. For the sake of his disciples, he needed to make time for himself as well.
After sending Yue Ting away, Li Hong called Lin Xiao over.
This girl had undergone an astonishing transformation in just half a month since coming here; her demeanor was ethereal and her features increasingly cold. Although her appearance still bore six or seven similarities to Chu Xi's, her essence had completely transformed into that of Ling Xiangzi.
Li Hong said little and presented the Li Fire Scripture towards Lin Xiao. A stream of red light poured down upon Lin Xiao's head as the Li Fire Scripture opened up immediately and began transmitting its teachings at an incredible speed. In just a moment, the Li Fire Scripture automatically tightened its Silk Scroll as the transmission concluded. Lin Xiao's eyes flashed with red light before she solemnly bowed deeply to both the Li Fire Scripture and her master Li Hong.
"Here are three Fire Origin Pills and one Foundation Pill. Go back and enter seclusion; do not leave until you have established your foundation," Li Hong summoned the Spirit of the Hall and instructed it to teleport Lin Xiao to the Ancient Celestial Field Temple's seclusion chamber.
Li Hong had a feeling that Lin Xiao's future was limitless; establishing her foundation would be easy for her. If her resolve remained firm during this period of seclusion, she could potentially break through to Refining Qi Early Stage and stabilize it.
Watching Lin Xiao's departing figure, Li Hong thought it was time for him to check on the Heavenly Soul Avatar in the Ancient Celestial Field Temple's secret chamber.
With this secret in mind, Li Hong smiled slightly. Others believed he was too busy with various matters to cultivate; little did they know he was actually cultivating every day! That Heavenly Soul Avatar was constantly practicing without pause. Because of this, his main body felt so relaxed.
A figure flashed, and Li Hong entered the tower, teleporting himself to the Ancient Celestial Field Temple.
After he left for a while, the Ice and Fire Flower and Azure Glow flickered, and Ling Yi Zi appeared in the tower. After sensing for a moment, Ling Yi Zi floated out of the tower, passing the ninth floor and descending straight to the eighth floor.
He arrived outside Yan Luo's room.
All the buildings here were quite similar, constructed entirely of white stone, and all the room doors were also white stone doors. The stone door was tightly shut. Ling Yi Zi stood at the entrance for a moment, listening intently.
Everyone was busy with their own tasks. The Heavenly Pill Hall, under Wuwei's command, was concocting a new batch of Foundation Pills. Yue Changzi and his two disciples were studying a large number of Star Sect artifacts taken from the Underground Palace. Chu Hai was reprimanding his disciple, while Yue Ling and two other new disciples stood by obediently. Yue Ling's master Chuming and another new disciple's master Chuxuan were still out on official business and had not returned.
Everyone was occupied with their own affairs; even Li Hong had gone to the Ancient Celestial Field Temple.
Ling Yi Zi's eyes glinted with malice; this was an excellent opportunity to kill that meddlesome woman inside. After all, she wasn't well-liked. As long as he avoided Li Hong and left no trace behind, no one would suspect him.
Ling Yi Zi was eager to act, but he had one major concern: the ever-present Spirit of the Hall that could appear at any moment. Additionally, there was another individual—more accurately, a ghost—who also liked to appear unexpectedly: the Old Ghost servant.
Ling Yi Zi carefully sensed the aura inside the room, reminding himself to leave no traces behind.
Yan Luo was cultivating, her breaths long and slow. There was also a particularly strong aura in the room—the damned big bird. If it weren't for that bird, Yan Luo would never have escaped from Qixia Palace this time; he had overlooked that she had an Azure Phoenix. Therefore, this Azure Phoenix also had to die.
Ling Yi Zi focused again, gathering his spiritual energy as he approached the door.
Just then, something unexpected happened: a faint creak came from the door, followed by Yan Luo's clear voice from inside: "Is that you, Ling Yi Zi Master Uncle?" Suddenly, another presence appeared in the room—it was the persistent Old Ghost servant.
Ling Yi Zi quickly stepped back, his mind racing in silence.
The door opened, and Yan Luo appeared in a red outfit with a bright smile behind it. Looking at Ling Yi Zi, her smile was particularly innocent and pure. She said, "Master Uncle, you're here! What brings you to see me? By the way, I apologize on behalf of Xiao Qing; that little rascal offended you two days ago. I've scolded it thoroughly." Saying this, Yan Luo turned her head and called out to Azure Phoenix: "Come here, Xiao Qing, apologize to Master Uncle."
Azure Phoenix slowly walked over, casually lowered her head towards Ling Yi Zi as a form of apology, then turned and squatted back at the foot of the bed.
Yan Luo proudly said, "How about it, Master Uncle? My little Qing is well trained, right? By the way, how's your Gu Diao? If you're willing, I can train it for a few days starting tomorrow, and I guarantee it will obey you, Master Uncle, without daring to go against you!"
Looking at Yan Luo's proud smile, Ling Yi Zi gradually had a thought: Could it be that this mischievous girl didn't actually notice anything unusual that day? Was it all just a false alarm? Had he been overly cautious?
In any case, now was not a good time to act because that Old Ghost was standing next to Yan Luo. Ling Yi Zi knew that despite the Old Ghost's seemingly submissive demeanor, its cultivation level was quite strong. He had no confidence in being able to eliminate both Yan Luo and it in one strike.
With his thoughts racing, Ling Yi Zi forced out a smile that looked worse than crying. "It seems you're much better now, so I won't worry anymore. You can continue your training." After saying this, he turned to leave, but his Divine Consciousness remained behind to observe Yan Luo.
He saw Yan Luo cheerfully call out, "Safe travels, Master Uncle." Then she turned and began training Old Ghost. "I'm tired of Azure Lotus Porridge. You can't even come up with a new recipe! Hmph, when Li Hong comes back, I'll make sure he punishes you!"
Old Ghost cried out in distress, "No, Fairy! I can't enter the medicine store. The things you want are all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. I have to report to Lord Spirit before I can think of a new recipe. Otherwise, why don't you just go talk to the Spirit of the Hall yourself..."
"Useless! What good are you if you can't even handle this? I might as well go find Yue Ting and take your ghostly tendons and throw them into the fire!"
"Please don't, Fairy! Spare my life!"
...
As Yan Luo threw her weight around, Ling Yi Zi could no longer listen. He turned and cast a seal before entering the tower, heading towards the Underground Sutra Chamber.
He thought that perhaps he had indeed been overly cautious; that mischievous girl didn't seem to realize anything was amiss. It seemed wise to hold off on eliminating her for now and observe for a while longer. As long as she dared to speak out again, he could deal with her then.
Ling Yi Zi went straight down to the Silk Scroll Room, putting thoughts of Yan Luo out of his mind.
What he didn't know was that once he confirmed his entry into the tower, Yan Luo turned around and closed the door tightly, her face suddenly turning pale.
Yan Luo weakly leaned against the door, knowing that she had just danced on the edge of death.
At first, she wasn't very sure, but the murderous intent on Ling Yi Zi's face was impossible to miss! Yan Luo was now certain of one thing: her discovery that day was correct; Ling Yi Zi was definitely a spy for the Demon Sect. Moreover, the massacre of her sect might have been because of him, or rather, because she had noticed something off about him and he had sensed it...
Thinking that Qixia Palace had suffered such an undeserved disaster because of her, with her master and senior sister dead, Yan Luo felt unbearable pain in her heart. She fought back tears and shouted at Old Ghost: "Get out of here quickly!"
Just as Old Ghost was about to disappear, Yan Luo shouted again: "From now on, you stay outside my room and don't leave!"
Old Ghost was baffled but agreed and left in confusion.
After it left, the tears that Yan Luo had been holding back finally burst forth. She cried like rain as she threw herself beside Azure Phoenix, stroking its feathers and daring not to cry out loud.
Gradually, Yan Luo began to grit her teeth and thought, "I must take revenge! What should I do? Should I tell Li Hong right now?"
She quickly dismissed the idea: "No way, with Li Hong's character, he would never believe me. Then I must investigate what happened to Ling Yi Zi before he came here and why he became a spy for the Demon Sect. Yes, that's it! I'll do it myself and keep it from Li Hong. Until I have absolute evidence, I won't tell anyone, including Li Hong!"
The fire of hatred burned in Yan Luo's heart; she became more profound and cunning.
