Junior sister, I really need to control you

"Now?" The beautiful woman in palace attire shook her head. "There's no need to rush. Ling'er told me that young friend Li will come to the lineage during the Dao examination, but it's only a matter of four or five months."

"The Dao Examination?" Elder Shen was taken aback, then nodded. "Oh, he cultivated too fast, so he probably hasn't participated in the Dao Examination. He probably just wanted to come and see."

"We have to wait another four or five months?" Elder Jin said impatiently.

"Hmm... four or five months isn't long, so let's wait a bit longer." The elder's eyes darted around, and he nodded in agreement.

It would be better to wait four or five months!

Four or five months is plenty of time for him to make many preparations.

"Will he come for the Dao Examination?" Elder Yu pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "No, we have to go and call him, and tell him to come a month early!"

"Senior Brother Yu, what does this mean?" the beautiful woman in palace attire asked, puzzled.

The other elders also looked at Elder Yu with suspicion.

They all knew that Elder Yu had a short temper and was impatient, but they could either call him over now or wait for the Humanity Test to be held and come themselves.

Why force people to do something a month in advance?

Elder Yu chuckled: "The Golden Crow Pool on my mountain peak will be ready for use a month before the Dao Examination."

"Since he is a body cultivator, the essence of the sun in the Golden Crow Pool will naturally be of great benefit to him, helping him to further improve his body cultivation foundation."

“Every year, only I can use the Golden Crow Pool; my disciples are only entitled to a small share of the soup.”

"This time I'll be generous and let him use the Golden Crow Pool too!"

"However, the Golden Crow Pool can only be used for one month each year, so we have to let him come early. If we wait until the Dao Examination, the Golden Crow Pool will be closed!"

The group exchanged glances and immediately realized what was going on.

"You, surnamed Yu, are really scheming! You said you were bringing the Dharma lineage, but it turns out you're just taking me to stay at your Golden Stone Peak for a month!"

Elder Jin retorted angrily, "You're really trying to fool me!"

"Hmph, crooked and heretical methods!" Elder Shen sneered.

"Senior Brother Yu, haven't you always claimed to be an honest person?"

The beautiful woman in palace attire narrowed her eyes: "You honest man, why do you seem a little unkind?"

"Where is it unfair?" Elder Yu smiled good-naturedly. "Don't you each have some good things on your own peaks? You can ask him to go there too."

Apart from the First Elder who seemed to be deep in thought, the others glared at him, their eyes filled with even more anger.

Yes, their peak does indeed have some treasures that are no less valuable than those at the Golden Crow Pool.

But just like Elder Yu said, the Golden Crow Pool is only open for one month, so the "good things" on their peak can't be used all the time.

Or rather, Elder Yu had calculated this point precisely, which is why he proposed sending Li Yinsheng to the Golden Crow Pool.

They did have some other treasures, but very few could compare to the Golden Crow Pool, and most of them were of great use to them.

On the contrary, Elder Yu's Golden Crow Pool, although extremely precious, has been used too many times and is no longer of much use to him.

Even if Li Yinsheng were to use the Golden Crow Pool once, he wouldn't lose out.

But they wouldn't give away their valuable treasures just to have a chance to take on a disciple.

However, it would be pointless to reject Elder Yu's proposal.

He has no shortage of disciples and followers; he could easily find anyone to privately invite Li Yinsheng from Xuanzhen Temple.

Moreover, he will then have a legitimate reason to speak ill of these people.

The elders had known each other for many years, and they could even roughly guess what the elders would say at that time.

“Young friend Li, I previously suggested that you cultivate in the Golden Crow Pool to temper your physical body with the incomparably precious essence of the sun.”

"But the other elders were too wicked; they all disagreed!"

"So I had my disciple find you privately. You can relax by yourself, but don't tell anyone!"

"And don't hold a grudge against the other elders!"

The elder turned his gaze and said with a smile, "Although Junior Brother Yu does have some selfish motives, the value of the Golden Crow Pool to body cultivators is beyond doubt."

"We have already agreed to train Young Friend Li, so no matter who he becomes his master, it will be extremely beneficial for him to cultivate in the Golden Crow Pool."

"Since Junior Brother Yu is so generous, we naturally have no reason to obstruct his opportunity. Don't you all agree?"

Looking at the old man whose eyes were almost squinting with laughter, Elder Shen, Elder Jin, the beautiful woman in palace attire, and even the elders all knew that he must have other plans.

But after each of them had their own calculations, a confident smile almost simultaneously appeared in their eyes.

Then they all nodded in agreement.

“Nephew Shangguan, I’ll leave this matter to you. Go and inform our young friend Li to come to the lineage a month earlier.”

The Grand Elder said, "Remember, come to the main peak first so we can meet. After we meet, then we can go to Junior Brother Yu's Golden Stone Peak."

Shangguan Ling'er bowed and accepted, feeling somewhat strange.

I never expected that I would have to go back so soon after leaving.

But this is good, because I can see Ningzhi and Yinsheng again. I wonder if they missed me while I was away.

As she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that her master was looking at her with a smile on his lips.

But Shangguan Ling'er was absolutely certain that the smile on her master's lips was not a kind or loving smile, but a malicious one.

as if……

She's plotting something!

……

The next day, at Xuanzhen Temple.

"Junior sister, are you really sure?" Li Yinsheng asked hesitantly.

Mu Xiaoyu sat cross-legged in front of Li Yinsheng, her face resolute: "Yes, senior brother, I've made up my mind!"

Two points of light, one red and one white, appeared in his palm.

The red light is a spark, and the white light is ten drops of moon dew gathered together.

“To be honest, I don’t think this will work,” Li Yinsheng said sincerely. “Hot and cold can cancel each other out, but the heat of the fire and the cold of the moon dew should be different.”

Li Yinsheng's expression was extremely sincere, and logically speaking, he had no reason to deceive his junior sister on such a matter.

In fact, he did not deceive his junior sister.

But Mu Xiaoyu didn't believe him.

If you ask why...

She had believed her senior's words many, many times before, but most of the time the results were not good.

"Senior brother, I really want to give it a try," she said seriously. "Come on! I won't regret it!"

Li Yinsheng couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he could only sigh helplessly and nod.

Anyway, with him protecting her, and refining the moon dew itself is not dangerous, and refining the fire seed is not very dangerous for the current Three Yang Spirit Fire, let her try if she wants to.

Mu Xiaoyu opened her mouth, and Li Yinsheng flicked two beams of light, one red and one white, into her mouth.

The feeling of coolness and warmth spreads through the body first, and then in the blink of an eye it transforms into extreme cold and extreme heat.

At that moment, Mu Xiaoyu understood a principle.

Sometimes you have to listen to your senior's advice.

She reached out her hand to Li Yinsheng with trembling hands, squeezing out two extremely complex words through her clenched teeth.

"Senior...brother..."

Chapter 116 Ling'er Returns

In Mu Xiaoyu's bedroom at Xuanzhen Temple.

Mu Xiaoyu lay in Li Yinsheng's arms, trembling as she reached out her hand to him, tears welling in her eyes, her face full of regret.

"Senior brother... I was wrong, I should have believed you..."

The extreme heat of refining the fire seed and the extreme cold of refining the moon dew did not cancel each other out at all, but instead intertwined within her body at the same time!

Because these two sensations are completely different, she actually felt that the cold and heat were even more distinct!

If there's anything to be thankful for, it's that refining the fire seed takes two hours, while the coldest phase of refining the moon dew only lasts for three or four quarters of an hour before it weakens.

Therefore, after about 35 minutes, she was freed from the extreme cold and heat.

All that remained in my body was extreme heat and a chill that had mostly subsided.

After exhausting her last bit of willpower to extinguish the flame, she was finally freed from the extreme heat and collapsed onto the ground.

Li Yinsheng helped Mu Xiaoyu up: "Junior Sister, how are you feeling?"

"Senior brother, I'm alright..." Mu Xiaoyu said softly.

She now deeply regrets not listening to her senior's advice; otherwise, she wouldn't have suffered like this.

“As expected, refining the fire seed and moon dew at the same time is not a good idea,” Li Yinsheng shook his head and said, “Junior sister should refine them separately in the future.”

"Moon Dew needs to be refined about once every half month, so that your soul grows too fast and your physical body can't adapt."

“But there are no restrictions on refining the fire seed,” he said, ruffling Mu Xiaoyu’s hair. “You can cultivate normally today and refine the remaining fire seed tomorrow.”

Mu Xiaoyu's eyes widened suddenly, filled with terror.

"How come there are still some!" She trembled even more violently. "Shouldn't the flame be very precious, with only one available?!"

She herself also cultivates the Three Yang Spiritual Fire. Although she is far from being able to condense a fire seed, she has a basic understanding of fire seeds.

“Well, generally speaking, it’s not easy to generate a spark,” Li Yinsheng said casually. “However, it also has something to do with cultivation level and technique. My cultivation level is higher and my technique is better, so I have more sparks.”

"Then... how many embers does Senior Brother have now?"

Mu Xiaoyu asked with a sliver of hope.

Since it's so difficult to condense the fire seed, even if Senior Brother has high cultivation and good techniques, only a few months have passed since then, so he should only have two or three at most.

“Not counting the one my junior sister just refined, there are eight more,” Li Yinsheng said honestly.
