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

If you give her enough spirit stones, she'll do anything, from attending a funeral to even lifting the coffin lid.

Don't mess with me: It costs 15,000 high-grade spirit stones to go there. When you go and meet the elders, you always have to give the younger generation a gift.

That's a lie! You have to give money when you attend a funeral. There's no such thing as giving gifts to elders at someone's funeral.

Are you playing around? Or just fooling around?
An anonymous cultivator: Senior sister, why don't you take a look at what you posted?

Don't mess with me: You can accept this as long as you don't care what others think. If you do care, then there's nothing I can do.

The method has been explained; whether or not you do it depends on how thick-skinned you are.

An anonymous cultivator asked: "Senior sister, have you ever used the method you taught me yourself? Won't you get beaten up?"
Little Lion: Who would dare hit her? Are they out of their mind?

Lin Yan's lips twitched; lately, her lips had been twitching more and more often.

This statement confirms that the senior sister used the gift and successfully received it from the elder without being beaten.

It's just attending a memorial service, she can go! She can even earn spirit stones, why not?

Thinking this, she glanced at the date on the invitation; it was in half a month. She figured she could get there by flying at full speed on her sword.

Elder Mo is dead, and the Mo family not only doesn't hold a funeral immediately, but also postpones it for half a month in order to invite a group of cultivators to come and pay their respects. There's something fishy about that.

Elder Mo's cause of death is unknown. Instead of investigating, his clansmen are only thinking about causing trouble. He didn't even die in peace.

Don't Mess With Me: So, junior sister, are you going?

An anonymous cultivator: Go, but I'm in Medicine Valley!

Don't mess with me: Okay, I'll have Little Lion pick you up.

An anonymous monk: Huh?
The Miaofa Sect is several days' journey from Medicine Valley, isn't it? Wouldn't it be too late to send someone to pick her up and then head to Mo City, where the Mo family is located?

Don't mess with me: It's settled then. You two add each other on a communication disc so you can stay in touch.

Is this the decisiveness of the senior sister? She made the decision just like that.

There must be a reason for this arrangement, Senior Sister; she'll just have to wait.

After exchanging messages with Little Lion via communication jade disc, the other party sent "I'll be looking for you when I arrive" and then went offline.

The next day, the medicine boy came to see her and said that she had been cured and could leave after resting for a while.

Upon hearing this, she tidied herself up and went to take a look.

Lu Ji's condition had indeed improved considerably; his eyes were no longer red, but his face was pale, as if he had been bled too much and had not yet recovered.

Upon seeing her, the other person even managed a smile and was about to get up to greet her.

She quickly stepped forward to stop him: "Please sit down properly, I just came to see you."

He was sitting in a specially made chair, followed by two apprentices who bowed to her and then stepped aside.

It seems the recovery is going well, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the person out to sunbathe.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for bringing me to Medicine Valley. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have become a monster that is neither human nor beast by now."

Upon hearing this, she waved her hand to stop people from expressing their gratitude verbally. She said without any politeness, "Don't do that, I can't accept verbal thanks. How about you thank me with spirit stones? Of the 200,000 spirit stones I took out, 80,000 spirit stones were used to pay for your treatment."

"Huh?" His expression froze for a moment, and he didn't react.

Lin Yan stared at the person and pouted, her pleasant expression fading slightly: "You're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"

"No...no, please give me back my storage bag. I'll make up the difference in spirit stones."

After taking out her storage bag and handing it over, she thought she would receive some kind of magic item to use for discounts, but what the other party gave her was spirit stones.

He took out an ordinary storage bag in front of her, divided out spirit stones, put them inside, and then handed it to her. Why did he make her go to the merchant guild to collect them when his storage bag clearly already had enough?

This kid is on guard against her!

Having obtained the spirit stones, she no longer cared about anything else. Just as she was about to leave, the other party spoke up: "Wait a moment."

"No need to thank me, we're even now."

"We're not even yet, you owe me a storage bag."

"..."

Lin Yan moved the spirit stones into her treasure storage bag and returned the ordinary storage bag.

"Take good care of yourself, I'm leaving."

Lu Ji understood from her words that she meant leaving Medicine Valley, and a sense of reluctance arose in his heart.

He and she had no prior relationship, yet she kept her promise and sent him to the Medicine Valley for treatment. Even when she didn't have enough spirit stones, she was willing to prioritize paying for his treatment.

In contrast, his master, who had always been so caring towards him, now wanted to possess his body when he was about to die! None of his fellow disciples, who were friendly to him, were willing to believe him…

How ironic and ridiculous that a friendship built over many years is no match for a stranger!
If he hadn't concealed his extraordinary opportunity and secretly amassed these possessions, he probably wouldn't have had the funds for treatment in the Medicine Valley, and no one would have been willing to save him.

"Let's...let's add a jade disc number."

"There's no need. I brought you here to wait for you to recover. You pay with spirit stones, and we're even."

After saying that, she left without looking back, seemingly unwilling to have any further involvement with the other party.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw Elder Li walk out from next door with a sullen face, his anger written all over his face.

At a time when she shouldn't be stirring up trouble, she pretended not to see him and walked away, but was stopped: "Young friend Lin, why don't you come over and greet this old man?"

She gave an awkward laugh: "It's because I saw your angry face, Elder, that I was afraid of offending you, so I didn't come forward to greet you."

"You little girl know how to seek advantage and avoid harm! Come on, let me show you around my nursery."

When the seedling expert invited her to visit the nursery, she couldn't refuse. Even though she didn't plan to make planting her main profession, it didn't stop her from learning more in her spare time.

What if you need it someday? It's also good to have a studious and inquisitive impression on your elders.

After entering the seedling area, I discovered that there were two other people standing in front of the nursery.

They were all familiar faces; they were disciples of the Xuantian Sect.

Upon seeing her, the two men were also surprised and asked in unison, "What are you doing here?"

Elder Li raised an eyebrow. "You two know each other?"

"Replying to Elder, I'm not familiar with them!" She would never be familiar with the people of the Xuantian Sect!

Elder Li didn't say anything more, only letting them follow along. He explained everything to himself, then went on to describe the habits of the spiritual plants, and noticed that the two were not paying attention.

Disciples who don't like being forced to communicate are placed in his care, and he even has to give away his newly cultivated spiritual seedlings for free.

He was even angrier now that the two of them still seemed distracted.

Since the girl was someone else's disciple and it wasn't his place to teach her, he had no choice but to let her answer the question and then use a sarcastic approach of praising one while criticizing the other.

After leaving the nursery, she received a message from Little Lion on the jade disc, bid farewell to Elder Li, and then hurriedly left.

The two Xuan Tian Sect disciples exchanged a glance. One of them feigned illness and left first, while the other stayed behind to receive the spiritual seedling. (End of Chapter)
