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

Chapter 77 Fairy, Save Me
She had previously exchanged ideas on the Jade Disc platform, and was deeply grateful to Mu Feng for generously sharing his alchemy experience, which had greatly inspired her. She felt she should treat him to a meal in the city and present him with a gift of gratitude.

Upon entering the restaurant, Lin Yan immediately requested a private room. The main hall was quite crowded with cultivators, and there might not be any seats available; she also preferred a quieter dining environment.

Upon arriving at the private room, she immediately messaged Mu Feng, explaining her room number. She then took out a low-grade spirit stone and handed it to the waiter, saying, "My friend is coming over in a bit, so I won't order anything now."

Lin Yan waited in the private room for a while, and soon she heard footsteps approaching. Then, Mu Feng and Qi Yang appeared at the door of the private room.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, we've kept you waiting!" Mu Feng and Qi Yang said, cupping their hands in greeting.

"No problem, please have a seat." Lin Yan smiled and nodded slightly, gesturing for them to sit down. "I'm not very familiar with the dishes at this restaurant, so please order."

"Does Fellow Daoist Lin have any dietary restrictions?" Mu Feng asked.

“There’s nothing to avoid.”

Mu Feng and Qi Yang quickly ordered their food, and the three of them started chatting, mostly about the auction.

Soon, the three of them finished their meal, paid the bill, and left the private room.

On the way to Mu Feng's residence, she encountered a cultivator leading a group of disciples alighting from a carriage. Among them, a female cultivator looked at her intently, her beautiful eyes filled with envy.

Lin Yan couldn't help but ask which sect those disciples belonged to, and why they had to rent a carriage to enter the city.

"Sigh." Mu Feng sighed softly, "It's better if Fellow Daoist Lin doesn't know."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yan was filled with surprise, and a sense of doubt and curiosity welled up within her. "Does this sect have some unspeakable taboos?"

Mu Feng shook his head, and seeing her interest, he explained, "Those female disciples are from the Peach Blossom Sect. This organization specializes in providing cultivation vessels to certain cultivators in order to make a profit."

She was even more surprised to hear this and couldn't help but raise her voice, "Nobody cares?"

How could such an organization exist? Don't those self-proclaimed righteous sects and aristocratic families care? Lin Yan was filled with resentment and incomprehension.

Mu Feng said with a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you may not know this, but the relationships behind the Peach Blossom Sect are intricate and involve many people. Many choose to turn a blind eye to it."

Lin Yan frowned but didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, he sighed helplessly: "Alas, this is not something we can solve."

The three walked and soon arrived at their residence. Mu Feng's residence was quite large, divided into east and west courtyards, and was provided by the Pill Association for Mu Feng and Qi Yang. However, as soon as they moved in, Qi Yang used the excuse of not being used to the new environment to move in with Mu Feng, and the west courtyard remained empty.

Opening the door to the west courtyard, Mu Feng said rather embarrassedly, "This... the west courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time, I hope you won't find it offensive."

"It's fine, I don't mind."

"In that case, I will not disturb your rest any longer. If you need anything, you can find me on the jade disc."

Only after Lin Yan and the others had gone far away did he gently close the courtyard gate.

The residence wasn't in the bustling city center; it was quite far away and rather secluded. As she walked in, she could clearly feel the fluctuations of the spirit-gathering array.

I never expected the Sun City Pill Association to be so generous, providing alchemists with accommodations equipped with intermediate-level spirit-gathering arrays!
The courtyard was decorated with alchemy furnaces, potted spiritual plants, and other items, all befitting the status of an alchemist. As soon as they entered the courtyard, the two little ones climbed down from her and started playing. After Little Tangyuan grew wings, she loved to flap and fly around, teasing the rabbit and then soaring high to avoid being hit; she was quite mischievous.

Fortunately, they didn't ask me what kind of spirit pet Little Tangyuan was, otherwise I really wouldn't have known how to answer.

Lin Yan took the two little ones' nest out of the storage bag and placed it in the main hall. When they got tired of playing, they would go to their nest to rest.

Then he took out a futon and sat down cross-legged next to the spirit-gathering array, closing his eyes to cultivate.

After leaving the alchemy room, I took the two little ones for a stroll around the city, and then we went to a restaurant for dinner. After not resting for so long, even an iron body couldn't take it anymore.

But her rest was different; while others truly rested, she replaced rest with cultivation.

Sigh... I suddenly miss my inner demon. It was such a good "employee" that could cultivate for me 24/7 without any pay! But alas, it disappeared shortly after its appearance, silencing heavenly lightning for me.

To generate a new inner demon, one must see if it can be generated at the peak of the Golden Core stage.

When one enters a cultivation state, one's divine sense is unintentionally released, both for vigilance and investigation to promptly detect hidden dangers, and also to hone one's sensitivity.

Sun City has arrays that suppress cultivators' spiritual senses, and cultivators themselves also set up their own arrays to block spiritual probing. Cities and larger towns place great emphasis on privacy. Even when one releases their spiritual sense, it can only cover one courtyard.

Lin Yan was engrossed in her cultivation until night fell. The two little ones, tired from playing, obediently returned to their nest to rest.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the gate of the mansion, the knocking sounding urgent. My divine sense covered the gate, and I naturally saw the situation outside. It was the female cultivator from the Peach Blossom Sect from earlier that day, knocking anxiously and frantically. When no one answered and she was about to leave, she opened her eyes and released a burst of spiritual energy.

In an instant, the door opened, and the female cultivator hurriedly entered the courtyard, only to have the door close again.

Lin Yan used her divine sense with great interest to observe the female cultivator's preparations after entering the courtyard. That night, a female cultivator knocked on the door for help, and something felt off...

Seeing the other person hesitate at the door, unsure which way to go, she finally decided to head towards the west courtyard. A short while later, there was a gentle knock on the gate. She got up to open it and saw the other person standing outside, looking flustered and pitiful.

"Please, fairy, save me..." The female cultivator's voice trembled, as if she had suffered some inhuman treatment and was terrified when she recalled it.

"Come in, please." Lin Yan invited the person to sit at the tea table in the courtyard and poured them a cup of tea. There were also some fruits and snacks on the tea table. Seeing the person take the cup and drink carefully, she added, "If you're hungry, you can eat these to fill your stomach."

He checked the female cultivator's cultivation level and found she was only in the mid-stage of Qi Refining. She hadn't practiced fasting and was feeling hungry. He didn't have any fasting pills either, so he could only offer her fruit and snacks.

The female cultivator gripped the teacup tightly with both hands, her body trembling slightly, her eyes reddening, on the verge of tears, looking utterly pitiful.

After drinking the tea, the other person kept their head down and sobbed, not saying a word. Lin Yan didn't know what to say either, so she waited for the crying to stop before waiting for the other person to speak.

The female cultivator finally stopped crying, raised her head, and pleaded in her eyes: "Fairy, please save me... I really have nowhere else to turn. The Peach Blossom Sect is offering us up as furnaces to others, and if we don't want to, we will suffer all kinds of torture. I don't want to live that kind of life that is worse than death anymore... Please help me, Fairy. I am willing to be your slave."

Lin Yan remained silent, her face hidden behind a veil, revealing no emotion.
