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

Chapter 91 It's better to cultivate more

"Yes, that's right. After you buy it, you only need to inject a little of your own spiritual power to activate it. When it senses that its master is injured, it will jump out to protect its master from attacks, and at the same time transform into its master's appearance so that the enemy cannot recognize it, thus buying the master some time to escape."

Seeing her interest, the stall owner continued, "The more and stronger the owner's aura a doll carries, the more realistic and indistinguishable the person it becomes."

Lin Yan stroked the doll, clearly enjoying it. After hearing the introduction, she continued to ask questions: "The enemy isn't stupid. If two identical people appear, they can just kill them both. Even if the doll can buy its owner time, the enemy can still chase after it after dealing with the doll."

The stall owner smiled slightly, as if he had expected her to ask such a question, and continued calmly: "So you need to buy dolls with more powerful abilities. For example, this doll is made of the fur of a fifth-tier demon beast and rare spirit wood, and is engraved with an array. When it appears, it is triggered instantly, pulling the enemy into the illusion array."

At this point, the stall owner chuckled and said, "Although it's just a basic illusion array, it can still buy its owner a lot of time to escape. Who knows, when the doll transforms, the enemy might not be able to tell the difference, and after they kill the doll, they naturally won't pursue it."

Lin Yan was somewhat tempted after hearing the stall owner's introduction. Cultivating immortality inevitably involves danger; having such a substitute doll might just save her life in a crucial moment.

With such powerful abilities, the doll is undoubtedly a one-time use item; it's advisable to prepare several.

"How much does the plush toy cost?"

"A doll that can transform into its master's appearance to help the master defend against attacks, without any other additional abilities, only costs 1,800 high-grade spirit stones. A doll with illusion array abilities costs 8,100 high-grade spirit stones, and a doll with illusion array and teleportation abilities costs 18,000 high-grade spirit stones."

Good heavens, this isn't a doll, it's a gold-devouring prop, and it's disposable!

I was just thinking of buying a few... but even buying one hurts my wallet!

Lin Yan swallowed hard: "What do you mean by teleportation ability?"

"Of course, it refers to the ability to instantly teleport the owner to another location the moment the doll appears. However, it can only teleport a hundred miles away, and the landing point is random."

The ability to instantly teleport its owner is incredibly powerful. Although it's a one-time use item, selling it for 18,000 isn't too expensive. However, the randomness of the landing point is a major drawback! What if it teleports you to some powerful monster? Wouldn't that be like escaping one wolf's mouth only to fall into another tiger's den?
Seeing that the dolls on display at the stall came in different sizes, she asked, "Are there any differences in the abilities of these small, medium, and large sizes of dolls?"

"No, all the plush toys can change size according to their owner's wishes, making them very convenient to carry around or to sleep with!"

So the large, medium and small dolls displayed at the stall are just to show customers the range of doll sizes, right?

After thinking for a moment, she bought a doll with illusion array abilities. After paying with spirit stones, she followed the stall owner's instructions and infused the doll with her own spiritual power.

The doll's eyes flickered slightly, as if it had established some kind of connection with her.

Lin Yan changed the size of the doll to medium, held it in one arm, and continued browsing.

She saw a stall selling spirit pet toys ahead and picked out two round balls to buy. The balls were made of cork and wrapped in cloth made of spirit silkworm silk, making them durable and resistant to biting and pecking, perfect for her two little ones to play with.

Across from the toy stall was another toy shop, but something looked off. She didn't look at it much and was about to turn away when she heard a familiar voice.

Turning my head, I saw Mu Feng and Qi Yang picking and choosing at the stalls across the street.

……

Mu Feng picked up a pair of fox ear-shaped headdresses and gestured to Qi Yang, saying, "This suits you very well."

"Then I'll wear it for you when I get back? But I have to get a reward from Amu."

Mu Feng nodded shyly, "I understand. A reward is a reward." Seeing that the young couple were getting along well, Lin Yan quickly moved away to avoid being a third wheel.

Before long, she left the sales area and came to the outer riverbank. There were boats on the river, and some couples liked to sit on them and enjoy each other's company. The boats didn't need to be rowed; they would drift along the current for a while and then stop at a designated docking point.

If you find the ship too slow, you can use your spiritual power to propel it.

She had only been standing by the river for a short while when a black market interpreter came to ask, "Fairy, do you need to rent a boat? It only costs one low-grade spirit stone."

Just as Lin Yan was about to say "no," someone next to her said they wanted to rent it.

"Would the immortal like some tea, snacks, or spiritual fruits? It would only cost twenty-one low-grade spirit stones."

The male cultivator nodded, paid the spirit stones, and the interpreter went to make preparations.

She raised an eyebrow, turned and walked away without saying goodbye. Since she hadn't even shown her face, she figured she might as well pretend she didn't know her to avoid any awkwardness.

"Don't even the fairies want to say hello to me?"

Hearing the voice, her brows furrowed even deeper. The male cultivator in front of her was wearing a mask that only covered the upper half of his face; she could recognize him at a glance.

"Fellow Daoist Mo, it's been a long time." Lin Yan gave a perfunctory greeting.

Hearing the distance in her voice, Mo Yu felt a pang of sadness. They hadn't seen each other for so long, and he would occasionally dream of her. The dreams were filled with his deepest longings…

"Yes, it's been a long time. Let's go boating together; it'll be a chance for old friends to catch up."

Lin Yan could hear the longing and expectation in the other person's tone, but she really had no interest in romantic love and had directly rejected him before, so why should he waste his time on her?

Given his qualifications, physique, appearance, and family background, countless people would flock to him. Why is he so stubborn?
Their initial encounter was unpleasant, and the fact that she can still speak to him calmly now shows how tolerant she is.

Not wanting to be too harsh, she said, "Fellow Daoist Mo, I have some things to attend to and don't have time for boating and catching up. Let's do it another day."

"Don't worry, I have no intention of pursuing you right now. I'm just catching up with you as a regular friend," Mo Yu said calmly, trying his best to suppress his inner loneliness.

Lin Yan refused again and turned to leave quickly. She wasn't one to drag things out. Since she wasn't interested in this person and had clearly rejected him, she would reduce contact to prevent him from feeling any hope.

All feelings of excitement, passion, and love will gradually fade with time. After a few more years of minimal contact, all those feelings will vanish completely.

Lin Yan felt that instead of wasting time on romance, she should focus on self-cultivation.

After cultivating and calming the mind, one can experience the profound mysteries of the Great Dao, and realize that matters of love and affection are insignificant. Mo Yu's problem stems from insufficient cultivation, which is why he gets stuck in a rut regarding matters of love and affection.

Mo Yu stood by the river, watching that beautiful figure disappear from his sight so quickly, feeling extremely disappointed.

At this point, the interpreter moved the boat over and said, "Leave the boat here, let it swim around once, and then put it back here."

Thank you so much! Thank you for the donation! Thank you for the recommendation vote! Hehehehe.
