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

Chapter 79 Fairy, Help Me 2
“I’ve cast a disguise spell on you. I’ll remove it once we’re out of Sun City. Also, you can change out of these clothes. There’s a new robe on the table. I haven’t worn it before, but it was bought to my size. Just make do with it. You’d better not leave this courtyard for a while, or you might get caught and taken back.”

Lin Yan was about to leave after giving her instructions when Lan Xi stopped her.

She glanced over and saw the other person biting their lip tightly, their hands nervously clutching the hem of their clothes, looking like they wanted to say something but couldn't. "Is there anything else?"

"Can...can I beg you...to save my companions from the same batch as me? They are also in dire straits, just like me, please." Lan Xi's eyes glistened with tears, and her voice trembled.

Lanxi knew her request was excessive, but thinking about her "senior sister's" fate, she couldn't bring herself to ignore it.

They were all pitiful people trapped in the mire. If they didn't support each other, how could they have a chance to break free from this cage? Lanxi also knew that this move might bring great trouble to the fairy in front of her, but if she missed this opportunity, her sisters would suffer the same tragic fate as that senior sister.

Now we can only pin our hopes on the kindness of the fairy in front of us... Even if it's just to save one more person, that would be wonderful.

"Do you even know where you are right now? Saving you has already caused me trouble, and now you want me to save others too? Do you think I'm some kind of omnipotent god? What will happen after we rescue the same group of people as you? Aren't there other unsuspecting victims in this Peach Blossom Sect? Do you expect me to rescue them all too?"

Lin Yan's tone was cold, directly questioning Shi Shan. She needed to consider her own strength. As a rogue cultivator, she could only save one or two, not everyone. Wouldn't those she saved later blame her for not saving them all?

The Peach Blossom Sect dares to engage in such dirty business; there must be someone protecting them. Perhaps even elders from some major sects are customers of the Peach Blossom Sect.

Lanxi was speechless at her questioning, tears streaming down her face. "I know I was greedy, but I just couldn't bear to see them suffer so much torment and humiliation. If you, Fairy, can lend a helping hand again, I... I'm willing to serve you like a cow or a horse! In the future, if you need me, even if it means risking my life, I will not hesitate."

Looking into the other person's eyes, which were filled with both despair and hope, Lin Yan's gaze softened. "I'll try to find a way, but I can't guarantee success. Don't have too high hopes!"

Lan Xi nodded repeatedly, wiped away her tears, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed. "Thank you, fairy, thank you, fairy."

Lanxi was already content as long as the fairy was willing to give it a try, and dared not hope for anything more.

The next day, after feeding the two little ones, Lin Yan taught Little Tangyuan how to take out spirit fruits from the storage bag. It learned quickly and was able to take out the Crimson Cherry from the storage bag in no time.

She rewarded them by pecking their fluffy heads with a kiss, and placed storage bags in their nests. "You two help me keep a close eye on that sister, don't let her step out of the yard, understand?"

Tangyuan nodded obediently, looking very well-behaved. The little rabbit, on the other hand, yawned and made two "coo" sounds, clearly disdainful of Tangyuan's cutesy behavior.

Hmph! These tactics will only attract the master's attention! They're a way of telling it that it wouldn't bother using them!
"Be good and wait for me to come back." Lin Yan put down the glutinous rice ball, reached out to touch the rabbit's head, picked it up with both hands, and pecked it on the head.

One bite at a time, everyone gets a share!

After she finished, she left the courtyard and closed the gate.

Just then, Mu Feng came over from the east courtyard and greeted her. "Fellow Daoist Lin, are you heading out?"

"Yes, I refined a batch of Foundation Establishment Pills and was about to sell them at the Chamber of Commerce."

“I’m going to the Pill Association anyway, let’s go together. May I ask what quality the Foundation Establishment Pill that Fellow Daoist Lin refined is? A Grade 3 Foundation Establishment Pill can be sold at auction.” Although he didn’t know Fellow Daoist Lin’s current alchemist level and that she started her alchemy career later than him, he had a feeling that she must have refined a Grade 3 Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Ranks from zero to four are all available."

Upon hearing the answer, Mu Feng was shocked, his eyes filled with admiration and envy.

The fact that it has grades from zero to four means that in such a short time, it went directly from failure to refining a grade four Foundation Establishment Pill! That's incredible! What kind of heaven-defying alchemy talent is this!
He even felt that she had wasted the first ten years of her life! With such a talent for alchemy, why did she have to learn swordsmanship? If she had started learning alchemy from a young age, she would probably be a high-level alchemist by now!

"Fellow Daoist, are you interested in the Pill Hall?"

Lin Yan shook her head. The so-called Pill Hall is similar to an organization composed of independent alchemists. Joining this organization grants discounts on purchasing alchemy materials from cooperating merchants, but one can only sell their own pills through these cooperating merchants, and there are also annual quotas for the pills that can be sold.

For example, the Richeng Pill Association, which Mu Feng has now joined, is backed by a chamber of commerce that collaborates with Dantang.

She doesn't want to be restricted by such rules.

Lin Yan casually changed the subject, asking Mu Feng how much he knew about the Peach Blossom Sect.

Upon hearing the words "Peach Blossom Sect," Mu Feng's expression instantly turned serious. He lowered his voice and asked, "Why did Fellow Daoist Lin suddenly ask about this? This organization is no good..."

She chuckled awkwardly twice, then casually remarked, "You told me about the Peach Blossom Gate incident when I came back yesterday. I was bored when I got back, so I looked it up on Jade Disc Square. There are very few related posts, and hardly anyone is paying attention to them."

“Sigh…” Mu Feng sighed. “The Peach Blossom Sect has a complicated network of relationships. It’s said that they are colluding with many forces. It’s normal that we can’t find any relevant information in Jade Disc Square. Those kinds of shady things are done in secret, so they have to be covered up.”

“But… I think Fellow Daoist Mu knows a lot about this.” Lin Yan looked puzzled after hearing his explanation.

Since such underhanded matters are always done in secret, how did Mu Feng, a mere alchemist, know about them? It shows that they are quite unscrupulous and not afraid of being punished at all.

“That’s a long story…” Mu Feng’s gaze became distant, as if he was lost in memories. “I once rescued a seriously injured male cultivator. He had escaped from the Peach Blossom Sect. He told me about the various things inside the sect, and that’s how I learned a thing or two.”

Lin Yan nodded slightly, her eyes full of curiosity. "I see. What happened to that cultivator afterward?"

Mu Feng looked somber, his eyes filled with disappointment: "He left after he recovered from his injuries, and I haven't heard from him since. But before he left, he expressed his desire for revenge to me, so I guess he didn't succeed."

As he said this, his face was filled with deep regret, and he kept shaking his head and sighing: "Later I heard that some righteous people jumped out to expose the crimes of Peach Blossom Gate, but no one believed them and it didn't cause any ripples."

Thank you so much for the votes! Please keep warm in this cold weather!
