A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Wang Tiangu, who was battling the giant corpse, frowned. "It's you again! Wen Min!"

The beautiful young woman dressed in white was none other than Wen Min, the Grand Elder of the Hidden Moon Sect. Upon seeing him, Wen Min spoke without any politeness.

"Now that I'm here, aren't you going to leave? Do you expect me to keep you here for dinner?"

Wang Tiangu was furious. "Back in Yan Family Fortress, you plotted against me, colluding with that old devil Linghu to ambush me. I haven't settled that score with you yet."

"You want to settle scores? Fine, you tried to harm an elder of my Hidden Moon Sect today, and I'll settle that score with you properly."

As she spoke, Wen Min had already taken out the Golden Wheel Ancient Treasure. The Golden Wheel spun once and burst out with a dazzling golden light. Wang Tiangu hurriedly used the Giant Claw Ancient Treasure to defend, but at this moment, a pale hand flew out and fiercely grabbed at the Giant Claw.

Wang Tiangu's face darkened, and he hurriedly tried to retrieve the giant claw treasure. However, at this moment, the golden wheel suddenly trembled violently, and dozens of golden lights shot over. Wang Tiangu quickly took out a black iron ruler, which instantly emitted a ball of black light and quickly blocked the golden wheel.

However, Wang Tiangu showed no joy, because at this moment his giant claw treasure had been seized by the pale hand, and no matter how he tried to activate it, he could not easily break free.

"You little brat, how dare you steal my ancient treasure?"

Wang Tiangu was furious and was about to take action when a whooshing sound rang out above his head, and the golden wheel reappeared.

Wang Tiangu hurriedly manipulated the iron ruler to defend, but he struggled against Wen Min's attack. After all, he was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and his strength had only recovered to 60-70% of what it used to be. He was no match for Wen Min at all.

"Very well, very well, your Hidden Moon Sect is truly impressive, two against one. I'm not playing with you anymore."

Just as Wang Tiangu was about to leave, a pale, large hand suddenly struck out. A black inner armor on Wang Tiangu's body emitted a burst of black light to defend against it. Even so, he still spat out a mouthful of blood and was seriously injured. He could only leave with a harsh remark.

"You all better remember this!"

It then transformed into a streak of black light and sped away.

Nangong Wan quickly put away the giant claw artifact, while Lin He took the opportunity to put away the pink skull's storage bag. It was just a pity that their corpses were completely destroyed by Wang Tiangu.

Lin He handed the two storage bags to Dong Xuan'er, but she waved her hand and said, "I won't lack these things. On the contrary, it's not easy for you to get these things. You should keep them."

Lin He didn't stand on ceremony and put away the storage bag. Nangong Wan's complexion wasn't good; she had obviously consumed a lot of her spiritual energy from forcibly controlling this early-stage Nascent Soul corpse.

Wen Min descended from the clouds, took out two pills, and handed one to Nangong Wan, saying, "This is a Mind-Concentrating Pill, which can temporarily restore some of your consciousness. And you..."

Wen Min looked at Lin He and handed him a pill, saying, "With your late Foundation Establishment cultivation, you forcibly controlled an avatar at the early Core Formation stage and two puppets at the early Core Formation stage. Your spiritual energy is being depleted. Eat this quickly."

Lin He looked at Nangong Wan, and seeing her nod, he took the pill. Sure enough, his dizziness improved a lot.

Wen Min nodded, then said something that made Lin He very nervous.

"You helped Wan'er, and I gave you the elixir. Now we're even. Wan'er, Ruyan, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Lin He frowned, but Nangong Wan did not immediately leave; instead, she shook her head.

Wenmin looked at her in surprise, "You always listen to me the most, what's wrong with you today?"

Standing shoulder to shoulder with Lin He, Nangong Wan said loudly, "He is my husband. Now that he is in trouble, it is the time when he needs me. I cannot leave him."

"What?!"

Wen Min was clearly taken aback and couldn't help but look at Lin He, asking with a somewhat unpleasant expression,

"When did this happen?"

Seeing that Nangong Wan didn't speak, Wen Min snorted and said, "Do you think I can't guess even if you don't tell me? You've been cultivating diligently within the sect and rarely go out. The last time you went out, you were gone for five years. Did you run into this kid around that time?"

Nangong Wan remained silent, but Wenmin said, "Wan'er, I've always treated you as my own disciple, but I really don't understand why you would take a fancy to a Foundation Establishment cultivator? If it were you in the past, you probably wouldn't even give him a second glance."

Wen Min really knows her disciple well. If it weren't for the forbidden area trial, Lin He would have had no chance of winning over Nangong Wan.

With her Heavenly Spiritual Root, Nangong Wanxin is proud and arrogant, single-mindedly pursuing immortality and would never have the mind to talk about love. Even if she were to date, she would never date a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In the original story, Yuan Yao and Yan Li wanted to climb up to Qu Hun, who was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and had no interest in Han Li, who was pretending to be a Qi Refining cultivator.

Mei Ning, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, also wanted to find a Core Formation male cultivator to help her cultivate.

As a Core Formation female cultivator, even if Nangong Wan wanted to find a male cultivator, she would look for a Nascent Soul cultivator, not a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan shook her head and said, "My husband is no ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. He has a high chance of forming a Core, and it's not impossible for him to even form a Nascent Soul. I have high hopes for his potential."

Wen Min didn't believe it at all, and just shook her head and said, "You're already confused and your judgment is affected. Fine, so you don't want to come back to the Hidden Moon Sect with me."

Nangong Wan nodded firmly. Wen Min stared at her for a while, and seeing that she was determined, she didn't say anything. Then she looked at Yan Ruyan.

"Your master is so confused, shouldn't you, as her disciple, try to persuade her? Alright, since she doesn't want to go back, then you come back with me."

Yan Ruyan did not leave, but instead stood next to Nangong Wan. "Elder, I want to stay with my master and do not want to return to the Hidden Moon Sect."

Wenmin was furious. She sneered, "She's eloping with her lover, what are you doing there? Are you happy watching them being all lovey-dovey? Or..."

Wenmin suddenly thought of something terrifying, and couldn't help but show a strange expression on her face as she pressed for an answer.

"Ruyan, tell me, are you also...?"

Yan Ruyan blushed upon hearing this and quickly lowered her head. Not only Wen Min but also Nangong Wan were taken aback and immediately looked at Lin He.

"What did you do to Ruyan?"

Lin He was on the verge of tears upon hearing this; he hadn't done anything at all.

Nangong Wan was speechless. Yan Ruyan had only gone to the Jin Yuan Relics, how could such a thing have happened?

Yan Ruyan quickly explained, "Senior Brother Lin didn't do anything to me; it's just that I have a one-sided crush on him."

Wen Min was not calmed by these words; instead, she became even more depressed. Yan Ruyan, the pride of their Hidden Moon Sect and a cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root, was the goddess in the hearts of countless male cultivators, yet she was still in unrequited love? Wasn't that even more humiliating?

She quickly and carefully examined Lin He several times.

"Good lad, you're really something. That master and apprentice pair are one in a million, with both talent and looks. You must have mastered some incredible seductive arts, otherwise how could you have bewitched them like this?"

Lin He quickly shook his head. He practiced body-strengthening techniques, which had nothing to do with seductive arts.

Wen Min laughed in anger, "I really don't know what you two, master and disciple, are thinking. Do you know? There's a group of Nascent Soul cultivators looking for trouble with this person. He's been on the run all this time, yet he's carrying so many women with him. Is that appropriate?"

Nangong Wan quickly defended herself, saying, "My husband does have some minor flaws; he is a bit of a womanizer."

Nangong Wan herself didn't dare say these words out loud, and Senior Sister Chen and the others disagreed even more, internally criticizing them.

"Is she a little bit of a womanizer? She's definitely a billion times more of a womanizer."

Lin He looked embarrassed, and Wen Min sighed, feeling that this interrogation was even more arduous than a battle between Nascent Soul cultivators.

Feeling utterly devastated, she became somewhat indifferent, shaking her head and saying, "Since you've made up your mind, then so be it."

Nangong Wan quickly said, "Elder, are you really going to let us go like this?"

"What else can we do but let you go? Tie you up and take you back?" Wenmin thought for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing for you to leave the Hidden Moon Sect. Although Junior Sister Zhou has high cultivation, she is jealous of talent. If you and Ruyan continue to stay in the Hidden Moon Sect, you will be ostracized by her sooner or later. It's fine if I'm here, but if I'm not here..."

Nangong Wan's expression darkened upon hearing this, but Wen Min patted her shoulder and said, "Wan'er, if you ever achieve success in your cultivation, I'll be content if you help look after the Hidden Moon Sect. Let's go, I'll send you on your way in the Moon Spirit Boat, otherwise you might run into other Nascent Soul stage monsters if you wander around aimlessly."
