Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 211: Daughter Lanruo
There was a three-inch thick layer of incense ash on the jade steps, and every step raised a cloud of dust.

Tattered prayer flags hang on both sides of the nine-curve corridor, and faded cinnabar talismans flutter in the cold wind, as if there are still living creatures guarding this place.

In the past, there were hundreds of immortal lamps lit here, but now there are only bronze lamp holders wrapped in spider webs, and the lamp slaves who look like skeletons are holding solidified lamp oil in their palms.

Desolation.

Yun Yi suddenly grabbed Zhuque's sleeve and asked her to avoid the two Hehuan Sect disciples who happened to pass by.

Now, in the eyes of the two, the jade figurine has completely transformed into the appearance of a real person. It can be seen that under the effect of the joy smoke, the true appearance of Ji Le Tian has become difficult to see.

After passing several gilded screens, a nine-tier circular memorial stand stands in the main hall, filled with memorial tablets and longevity lamps.

The tablets that should have been engraved with names were all blank, except for a jade carving on the top floor, which was a pair of men and women embracing each other.

Zhuque whispered, "Is this the ancestral hall?"

Yun Yi replied, "That's about right. This place is called Lan Ruo Hall. It's a place for people to commemorate the deceased and light longevity lamps to pray for blessings."

"Is the 'Life Creation Sutra' in a place like this?"

"This is the uniqueness of Paradise. If you simply go to the Sutra Library to look for the secret manuals, you'll probably miss out on these truly precious treasures."

Zhuque glanced at Yun Yi and swallowed the question that was on the tip of his tongue.

The question she wanted to ask was naturally: How do you know?

Yun Yi approached the long table where the immortal lamps were placed, as if he was choosing the most special one from them.

Suzaku asked in confusion, "Which one are you looking for? I'm here to help."

"No need, I've found it." Yun Yi's eyes fell on a lamp holder in the depths that was heavily covered with dust.

In order to prevent the jade figurines from returning and discovering the whereabouts of the two, Yun Yi directly lit the Longevity Lamp and planned to explain later.

"Let me lend you some blood." Yun Yi pulled Zhuque's hand over, carefully pierced his fingertip with sword energy, and squeezed out a drop of blood that fell on the dry wick.

The next moment, the Longevity Lamp suddenly ignited with a strange red flame, and at the same time sucked Yun Yi and Zhuque into the lamp.

When Zhuque came to his senses, he found that the place was full of candlelight and countless golden scriptures were floating in the air.

Yun Yi said bluntly: "Practice, we don't have much time."

Suzaku was surprised, and after a long pause he said, "Just...that's it?"

"So what do you want? I've never noticed you need a sense of ritual when practicing martial arts before."

"Before I start practicing, shouldn't you at least tell me what this is?"

Yun Yi said helplessly: "The longevity lamp just now was used by the first generation Lan Ruo."

"Lanruo? Is it the name of a temple or a person?"

"Both. The person who lights the lamp in Lan Ruo Hall is called Lan Ruo. But she also has a lamp of her own, but unfortunately no one has ever taken care of it. Therefore, if you light a lamp for her, you will gain an opportunity from her."

Yun Yi pointed at the shadow of a figure in the air. As Zhuque looked intently, he found that the figure became clearer and clearer.

It was a woman holding a lantern, dressed like a woman, wearing an emerald green silk gauze dress and a golden scarf, revealing most of her snow-white, translucent skin.

Her eyes were filled with seduction, and she looked at Suzaku with a smile. Then, her sleeves fluttered slightly, and she walked slowly towards him. Her slender waist swayed with it, and there was even a faint and lingering sound in the air.

Although Suzaku was also a woman, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva and said at a loss, "What should I do?" Yun Yi laughed and said, "So even if we are both women, we will be at a loss when we see a beautiful woman."

"Is she an ordinary woman?!"

"Indeed, she is not. Lan Ruo is the most special elder in the He Huan Sect. She does not like fighting and only focuses on lighting lamps. That is why she created the 'Life Creation Sutra'."

"But I really can't resist her charm."

"What's the big deal? Aren't you also a master of charm?" Yun Yi seemed to be teasing him, but in fact he was using joking methods to help Zhuque divert his attention. "When we first met, it seems that you also used charm on me."

Suzaku was indeed annoyed when he heard this: "Could you please stop bringing up embarrassing things!"

Yun Yi explained, "That's why I said that the Shengsheng Zaohua Sutra is the most suitable technique for you. You already have a foundation in seduction techniques, and the reason you haven't been able to break through is because your innate foundation is insufficient. To put it bluntly, you suffered from hunger as a child, and your foundation was damaged."

"Stop talking so much. Can't I just practice?"

Lan Ruo gradually approached Zhuque, but ignored Yun Yi who was standing beside her.

This is exactly why Yun Yi asked Zhuque to light the lamp with blood. According to the rules here, only the person who lights the lamp can obtain the inheritance.

The woman stretched out a jade finger and gently lifted Suzaku's chin, staring at her again and again with a pair of smart eyes.

Her voice was disembodied, as if coming from all directions: "Little girl, were you the one who lit the lamp for me?"

Suzaku blinked hard in response.

"Pfft, she looks good, but she's a bit silly. And it's not just ordinary silly, it's the silly kind that comes from having a loved one."

As Lan Ruo spoke, she turned behind Zhuque, gently held her in her arms, and whispered softly into Zhuque's ear.

Yun Yi couldn't help but take a few more glances, thinking that the Hehuan Sect was really a weird place, although dual cultivation was a common thing in the Demon Sect.

However, it is rare to see two women being so ambiguous.

He first looked at his nose with his eyes, then looked at his heart with his nose, and then he simply turned his head away.

In his previous life, Yun Yi led everyone from the Buried Sword Valley into Paradise to search for treasure. They suffered heavy losses as soon as they entered, and he was targeted by both the forces of good and evil at the same time. The situation was extremely critical.

Fortunately, Yun Yi still had the Tongxin Gu in his body at that time. As the sacred object of the Hehuan Sect, the Gu was almost immune to the Joy Smoke and Love Lotus here.

Therefore, even though Yun Yi was besieged by everyone and seriously injured, he was still able to remain conscious and hide in this Lanruo Hall.

At that time, he was seriously injured and accidentally spat out a mouthful of blood on the wooden table full of immortal lamps. This triggered a strange vision and he was teleported to the secret place where Lanruo's remaining divine consciousness was.

However, because he was a man, Lan Ruo did not show any ambiguous behavior at that time. She simply taught him skills and soon healed Yun Yi's injuries with the "Life Creation Sutra".

It was also for this reason that Yun Yi felt that Lan Ruo seemed to have a special fondness for women.

It seems that bringing Suzaku here was a good move.

While he was in a trance, Zhuque finally got back on track. Lanruo stopped teasing the successor and instead explained the difficult points of the scriptures to her in her ear.

One of them was wearing a fiery red gauze dress, and the other was wearing a emerald green one, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

Unfortunately, before Yun Yi had the time to appreciate it for a while, he suddenly noticed some unusual movements coming from the outside world.

He used his spiritual sense to probe outside and found that Sangmen in the shadow was avoiding the jade figurine and was actually running towards Lanruo Hall.
