Chapter 84: The Long Road to Revenge, Breakthroughs, and Ling'er's Return (Part 2)
Chapter 84: The Long Road to Revenge, Breakthroughs, and Ling'er's Return (Part 2)
Junior Brother, you must be cautious!"
"What does that mean?"
"Pretending to be weak to lure powerful enemies is when someone pretends to be weak, like a pig, to entice a tiger to attack. But in reality, they are like an elephant, and once the tiger strikes, they will overpower and kill it!"
"Although it's just hearsay, it's not entirely impossible. These people are very cunning, Junior Brother, you must be vigilant!"
"Senior Brother's words are wise!"
"Indeed, we must be vigilant!"
Qiu Yongqin's face tightened slightly.
But soon, he had another idea.
If others could pretend to be weak to lure powerful enemies, why couldn't he? If he could use secret techniques to hide his cultivation and strength, he could be the pig in the deception!
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother has an epiphany!" Qiu Yongqin exclaimed.
"Instead of letting others be the tiger, I'll be the pig!"
"But Senior Brother, this is Junior Brother's first time in the Scripture Repository, and I don't know which secret techniques are useful."
Qiu Yongqin was both excited and nervous.
The idea was excellent, but whether it would succeed depended on finding suitable techniques or secrets.
Brilliant!
Qiu Yongqin was nervous, but Fan Jianqiang laughed.
He felt the guidance was becoming smoother.
Obviously, although Qiu Yongqin was down-to-earth and diligent, he was also very smart and seemed to have a natural talent for deception. Otherwise, how could he grasp the concept so quickly?
The path of deception is eternal!
I am not alone on my path, I am not alone!
As for the relevant secrets? That's not a problem!
"Don't worry, although I'm timid and have low cultivation, I'm well-versed in the various secrets of the Scripture Repository. After all, I dare not wander around, so I can only study and ponder here."
"Junior Brother, please wait a moment."
"Senior Brother will get them for you!"
"Then we're grateful for Senior Brother's help!"
Qiu Yongqin quickly stood up to express his gratitude.
Fan Jianqiang didn't hesitate and waved his hand, immediately busy gathering various secret techniques, scriptures, and jade slips.
Soon, over ten jade slips were placed before Qiu Yongqin, and Fan Jianqiang spoke confidently: "Junior Brother, look, these are the highest-ranked ones in our Scripture Repository that I've chosen based on what you said."
"Although you're an outer disciple, you'll receive direct disciple treatment, so you can learn all of these."
"This is the Transformation Art."
"This is the Divine Sense Disguise Technique."
"This is the Self-Preservation Technique."
"This is the Burst Speed Secret Technique for escaping."
"This is the Disguise Technique..."
"This is the Substitute Death Secret Technique, allowing you to avoid a fatal strike once by taking a severe injury."
Fan Jianqiang didn't deceive him this time.
All the secret manuals were carefully selected, and even the Transformation and Concealment Techniques were provided by him! These were all valuable resources.
Anyway, Qiu Yongqin didn't know who had given them...
As his disciple of deception and a promising talent, he naturally wanted to nurture him well.

"As an elder and a Sect Elder, perhaps in her eyes, her responsibility and role are to protect you younger generations and the Sect's talents. That's all."
"You are indeed capable of refining healing pills."
"But in her eyes, she might rather see you refine pills for yourself, see you spend more time cultivating, improving your realm, and enhancing your strength."
"Instead of repeatedly wasting energy for this 'old fogey' here."
"Besides, I can't think of any other reason."
"Elder." Xiao Ling'er bit her red lips, her voice choking with emotion. "Why must it be like this? Why?"
"Although this pill is challenging, I..."
"You don't need to blame yourself, and there's no need to say more. Just keep it in your heart."
The Medicine Granny comforted, "The older generation has its responsibilities, but the younger generation also has its own persistence!"
"Moreover, you currently lack the ability to refine stronger healing pills. I was careless, not expecting her Dao injury to be so severe!"
"A leopard's spots can be seen from its tail. This shows how far she went for the Sect in the past, probably draining her very blood."
"Such a heroic woman, even in my prime, would be especially admirable."
"If you are willing, there's no need for words. In the future, when you have the ability, quietly refine better healing pills for her to aid in her recovery."
"The Master's words are most reasonable!"
Wiping away her tears, Xiao Ling'er said, "The Master and the Elders have noble intentions, dedicating themselves to the Sect."
"If they don't want it, we, as disciples, cannot refuse!"
"Just understand, and that's good."
Liang Danxia smiled.
At the same time, she felt greatly relieved.
Seeing how her disciple treated Wu Xingyun, she knew that in the future, her disciple would not disappoint her, and would never walk the same path as that beast!
After a long while, Xiao Ling'er suddenly spoke, "Teacher, I want... to go back and see."
"..."
"That's right."
Liang Danxia's expression turned serious. "With your current strength, those people shouldn't be your match, and now that the Moonseizing Sect has the backing of the Spirit Sword Sect, they dare not do anything to us."
"But the prerequisite is that you must return alive, and... from now on, every year, you must defeat the Spirit Sword Sect's Sword Disciple."
"Disciple has the confidence!"
"What does Teacher think?"
Currently, the Moonseizing Sect was in a rare period of calm. Although Wu Xingyun's Dao injury had only recovered a 'sliver,' he had finally broken through to the Fifth Firmament Realm, allowing Liang Danxia to temporarily set her mind at ease.
Therefore, the fire in her heart blazed.
"Of course, Teacher supports you."
"However, going back empty-handed like this, you might still be at a disadvantage."
"For Immortal Cultivators, apart from one's cultivation, realm, and strength, external aids are equally important!"
"Pills and the way of pill refinement are just one aspect."
"The power of treasures is often even more evident and astonishing than pills."
"So, Teacher suggests you make more preparations before returning."
"Being prepared is never a bad thing."
"You won't be at a disadvantage."
Xiao Ling'er realized, "Teacher's words are most reasonable!"
"Indeed, I need some powerful treasures. In my previous battle with the Sword Disciple, I noticed that with his treasure sword, the power of his sword technique increased significantly."
"Although I can condense weapons with my unique fire, it's not a significant advantage."
"If I also had powerful treasures, and further enhanced them with my unique fire, I could definitely unleash greater battle prowess."
"Additionally, defensive treasures could make me safer..."
She had an idea but then frowned, "However, our Moonseizing Sect is in a state of rebuilding, and although we have the Pill Furnace Pavilion, none of the Elders are skilled in treasure crafting, and neither am I."
"Could it be that I should sell some pills to buy them?"
"It's not impossible, but finding treasures suitable for you is not easy." Liang Danxia spoke frankly.
"Then..."
"What should disciple do?"
"There is one way."
"But it depends on whether you are willing."
"Please, Master, tell me."
Xiao Ling'er pondered for a moment, "If disciple is willing, then so be it."
"Fire Cloud." Liang Danxia's tone was half-smiling.
"Huh?!"
Xiao Ling'er's face turned red immediately. "Master, this... what does she have to do with it?"
"Moreover, your initial lack of self-control makes it difficult for disciple to face her again."
"So, it depends on whether you are willing." Liang Danxia smiled, "Besides, you are both women, so it's not a big deal."
"As for what she has to do with it, don't you know that she is the daughter of the Fire Virtue Sect Leader, and the Sect Leader in refining treasures?"
"Although the Fire Virtue Sect is a second-rate sect, it rose to prominence through treasure crafting, and in the path of treasure refining, they have their unique strengths. With your current realm, Fire Cloud's assistance will be more than sufficient."
"After all, her specialty is actually treasure crafting, not pill refining."
"So, the only two questions are whether you are willing to ask for her help and whether she is willing."
"!!!"
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Ling'er clenched her silver teeth and said, "If she is unwilling... disciple will give her more pills!"
"An exchange, then."
Liang Danxia smiled silently.
...
Fire Virtue Sect.
Fire Cloud lay on her bed, feeling rather bored.
Her jade-like feet took turns tapping her plump buttocks.
A glimpse of her fiery red hair cascaded down, adding to her exotic beauty.
"Sigh."
"I wonder how much longer it will take..."
She was just about to find something to do when her eyebrows suddenly shot up.
"Huh?"
"Xiao Ling'er? She's actually taking the initiative to look for me?"
She flipped her hand, taking out a sound transmission talisman from her storage bag, and then infused it with Primordial Energy to activate it.
After hearing Xiao Ling'er's sound transmission, Huo Yun'er immediately became interested, her previous boredom vanishing as she raised her eyebrows with excitement.
"Oh?"
"Interesting, truly interesting!"
"She actually wants me to visit Lan Yue Sect and help her refine tools?"
"Offering payment in pills, and willing to pay a price 30% higher than the market rate for my services?"
"Hmph, to get me to agree, mere money isn't enough. It also depends on my mood!" She responded without hesitation.
...
"It depends on her mood?"
Xiao Ling'er scratched her head, "Then, how are you feeling now?"
"Not bad."
"So, you agree?"
"I don't agree."
"!!!"
"Then, what would it take for you to agree?"
"You owe me another favor~!"
"Agreed, I'll refine tools for you, and I'll provide the materials myself. How's that?"
A favor for a set of treasures? It's hard to tell if it's a loss or a gain, but it's not too bad.
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Ling'er said, "Okay, I agree!"
"When can you come?"
...
"I'll set off immediately."
Huo Yun'er's face lit up with joy.
She was incredibly bored, and now she had something to do.
Moreover, she could visit Lan Yue Sect.
The once glorious Lan Yue Sect had produced a talent like Xiao Ling'er; it must still be doing well, right? Visiting would be a great way to relieve boredom, and helping her refine tools would also earn her a favor. This trip would be profitable.
No, it would be a huge gain!
"And~"
Her face suddenly flushed, and she gritted her teeth, "I need to take revenge! She dared to... she dared!!!"
"Hmm~"
With a soft whimper, Huo Yun'er recovered after a while and coldly hummed, "Hmph!"
"Just you wait!"
After that.
Huo Yun'er immediately went to the Fire Virtue Sect's treasury and started rummaging through it, leaving the elder in charge of guarding it dumbfounded and his eyebrows twitching: "Young Miss!"
"My young miss, is this enough?"
"Ouch, my young miss..."
"Is this enough now?"
"No, if I take this much, I won't be able to account for it. If it's really not possible, please tell me why you need so many materials."
"Young Miss?"
"Ouch, the Star Tears Gold can't be taken, it's for the Spirit Sword Sect, and we're keeping it for Elder Seven to forge a Dao Weapon-level flying sword after he comes out of seclusion..."
"So much for one flying sword?"
"Nearly half of it will go into the Fire Virtue Sect's treasury. What's wrong with me taking half?"
The Third Elder was stunned.
Alas!
This damn guard duty is impossible!
It's easier to guard against outsiders than against the family!
I can guard against all the petty thieves, but can I guard against this young miss?
So frustrating!!!
A thorough rummaging.
Huo Yun'er took off running, leaving the pained Third Elder shedding tears.
After that, she went to seek her father.
Originally, she was grounded.
After all, the third divine son of the Feathered Clan had been killed, and Huo Yun'er was nearby at the time. When the Fire Virtue Sect's Sect Master found out, he was terrified and brought Huo Yun'er was brought back and grounded.
But now, she was hugging his arm, coquettishly pleading, and he couldn't help but soften his heart and agree.
After that...
Huo Yun'er happily went out.
Leaving her father with a look of disinterest.
"Girls grow up so fast!"
He sighed, then said, "Fifth Senior Uncle, she doesn't have a sweetheart, does she?"
A voice line formed, "Rest assured, she doesn't. The young miss hasn't had much interaction with other men outside, and hasn't even spoken to them."
"This time, she says she's going to Lan Yue Sect to find Xiao Ling'er, and Xiao Ling'er is a pill refining talent with exceptional cultivation talent."
"Perhaps she's bored from being grounded and is going to play with Xiao Ling'er."
"Then I'm relieved!"
The father relaxed, thinking, 'Miss?'
At least he didn't have to worry about his daughter getting involved with men.
After all...
They were both women, so it couldn't be that, right?
"Fifth Senior Uncle, it's a critical time, please keep an eye on her!"
"Sect Master, rest assured, I'll personally protect her. The young miss isn't one to cause trouble, and she's not had much interaction with other men outside."
...
"Master, that's how it is."
Xiao Ling'er came to pay her respects to Lin Fan, informing him that she had invited Huo Yun'er to come and help her refine tools, and requesting Lin Fan to allow Huo Yun'er into the Moonseizing Sect.
"There's no reason to refuse."
Lin Fan smiled and nodded, "If I were to refuse, wouldn't I be too unaccommodating?"
"When she arrives, bring her in, and she can stay in your Pill Furnace Pavilion."
"Thank you, Master."
Xiao Ling'er left, but Lin Fan stroked his chin, deep in thought, "Huo Yun'er coming to refine tools herself..."
"This..."
"If it's just to help Xiao Ling'er refine tools, isn't it a waste?"
"She's come all this way, we should let her earn more."
"Ahem."
"We should make the most of her visit~"
Lin Fan's thoughts became lively.
Currently, the Moonseizing Sect was in dire need of revival; in short, they were poor.
Treasures and spirit tools were hard to come by, with only a few pieces among the five elders.
This was such a good opportunity...
Shouldn't they make the most of it?
He quickly sent a sound transmission to Xiao Ling'er, "Guests should be treated well, don't lose face for our Moonseizing Sect."
"Remember to let her stay for a few more days~"
