After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 11 Rescue? You're overthinking it.

No matter what kind of monster it is, its eyes are its weak point, and a surprise attack on the eyes can be surprisingly effective.

Enraged, the scorpion went berserk, its stinger repeatedly aimed at Lin Yan.

She skillfully dodged the venomous sting and flicked out several talismans to confuse the scorpion. Its eyesight was already impaired from its injury, so its attacks were naturally less accurate.

She seized the opportunity when the scorpion was slowed down by the first-grade control talisman and the weight-bearing talisman, and quickly conjured a fireball to attack the scorpion's other eye.

Monsters like scorpions are countered by fire, so fireballs deal much more damage to them.

The fireball struck the scorpion in the eye, causing it to lose its sight. She quickly conjured an even larger fireball with one hand and hurled it at the scorpion again.

The fire wasn't powerful enough, so she used a fireball infused with an explosive talisman. The explosive talisman amplified the power of her fire attack, knocking the scorpion down.

Even as the scorpion lay motionless on the ground, her expression remained solemn. She unleashed several spells on the dead scorpion, making sure it was completely dead before taking out the bottle containing the green poison frog and putting the scorpion inside as well.

A third-tier poisonous scorpion could sell for a lot of spirit stones. Although she had beaten it so badly that it didn't sell for as much as a complete corpse, she was still very satisfied.

She put the bottle into her storage bag and decided to look for spiritual plants nearby. She was afraid that if she went too far, she would encounter powerful demonic beasts that she couldn't defeat.

She began a rampage like a bandit raiding a village, taking everything she saw. She even took the bird droppings that passed by, and if she was in a bad mood, she might pluck the feathers too.

Unlike the outer areas, where most of the spiritual plants can be seen have been harvested by cultivators, the central area of ​​the Ten Thousand Demon Forest has a considerable number of spiritual plants, especially second-grade spiritual plants, which can be found by simply parting the grass.

She searched until her storage bag was almost full before stopping and heading towards the cave. As she walked, she smelled blood and immediately went into battle mode.

Lin Yan used the forest umbrella to shield herself from a sneak attack. She released her divine sense, scanning a range of several meters.

I felt a chill down my spine. Was someone about to attack me?
She dodged quickly, simultaneously throwing out ten explosive talismans. With a loud "bang," something fell from the height. Looking closely, she saw that a male cultivator had been hiding in a tree, launching a sneak attack at her, but had been blasted off the tree by her own explosive talismans.

The male cultivator was covered in injuries. She didn't believe her first-grade explosive talisman could be so powerful as to injure a Foundation Establishment Stage 6 cultivator like this.

He must have had a fierce battle before this, and was just hiding in a tree to heal his wounds when he saw her. He figured she must have collected a lot of good things in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, and since her cultivation level was lower than his, he attacked her from the shadows and stole her supplies.

She didn't see anything wrong with shooting someone in the dark. If she were the other person, she would also choose to take the risk. She didn't believe that if she got injured in such a dangerous place and encountered other cultivators, they would be so kind as to heal her.

In this world of cultivation, killing and robbing are common occurrences, especially among rogue cultivators who lack the support of major sects and the resources of established families, relying entirely on plundering for cultivation resources.

Strike while the iron is hot! Without pausing her hand seals, she unleashed several fireballs. The male cultivator barely dodged them before being met with a barrage of talismans. Unable to dodge, he felt as if a heavy boulder was pressing down on him.

Then came the attack of talismans, which exploded on his body.

In his eyes, the female cultivators' techniques were all flashy attacks, but weak in actual combat. The female cultivator before him, however, shattered his perception; each attack was simple yet highly damaging. He was blasted away, arcing through the air before crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his robes tattered beyond repair.

Seeing that she was about to deliver a fatal blow, the male cultivator spoke up: "I am the young master of Sand City. If you save me, I will reward you handsomely!"

Save them? You're overthinking it.

She didn't stop because of the male cultivator's words. She quickly formed hand seals and unleashed a powerful attack spell, sending the male cultivator to his death. Fearing that he might not be completely dead, she cast several more spells to ensure that everything went smoothly.

The young master of Shacheng? Isn't that one of the protagonists in novels who commits all sorts of evil deeds, takes pleasure in taking lives, and then meets the female lead and promises to reform?

This is a world of cultivation, so of course there won't be just one male protagonist. That's why it's called a "heartthrob, pampered by everyone" cultivation novel.

After the young master of Shacheng encountered the female protagonist, who had run away from her sect to clear her head due to anger towards Venerable Lingyun, he was attracted by her kind and innocent heart and became one of her suitors. Whenever the female protagonist was unhappy and complained to him about someone, he would secretly cripple that person's cultivation.

When traveling with the female lead, if she sees a place she likes but won't let her out, he'll send people to rob it. The most serious conflict they had was when they went to a city inhabited by mortals. The female lead wanted to quietly enjoy the lantern festival, so he massacred the entire city.

When the female lead found out, she strongly condemned the young master of Sand City and broke off all ties with him. He knelt down and apologized, even performing a self-inflicted wound with a sword as atonement before her. She forgave him, and they reconciled. She also forgave him on behalf of the deceased mortals.

She stayed up all night reading it because she wanted to know how else this novel could be written. After finishing it, she immediately created a secondary account and wrote four one-star reviews. Each review was a two-hundred-word rant, and then she suddenly died and was reborn as a ghost…

She sent the young master of Sand City to his death, not to uphold justice. Rather, he was inherently evil and vindictive. Even after she saved him, he wouldn't offer her any reward. Instead, after recovering, he would deliver a fatal blow and feed her to demonic beasts.

Her expression was cold and stern as she slowly walked to the male cultivator's corpse, bent down, and took his storage bag. Throughout the entire process, her expression remained unchanged, as if she were doing something perfectly ordinary.

Lin Yan didn't rush to check the other person's storage bag. He had just been in a fierce battle before meeting her, and he must have used up all the life-saving magic treasures and pills he could, leaving only scraps.

Although both of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage, her cultivation was slightly lower than his, so it would take her quite a bit of effort to erase the spiritual imprint he left on the storage bag.

This storage bag is a Thousand Treasures Storage Bag, far superior to the ordinary storage bags she currently uses, with a capacity equivalent to ten ordinary storage bags. Just to be on the safe side, she'll sell it on the black market once she leaves the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

After she left, some low-level demonic beasts emerged, emitting strange cries. Moments later, their kind arrived and took the food away.

Exhausted from two battles, Lin Yan dared not linger outside. She returned to the cave via the path she had come from, set up an array at the entrance, and affixed talismans. After confirming several times that the array was in good working order, she walked towards the spiritual spring with peace of mind.

At this moment, the Crimson Enchantress was comfortably nestled in a den woven from withered grass, chewing on a long, tender leaf in her mouth. She walked over, glanced at the Mystic Grass, and then looked at the Crimson Enchantress.

What did you eat?
