Junior sister, I really need to control you.

Outside Mu Xiaoyu's bedroom.

Li Yinsheng walked into the courtyard and called out, "Junior Sister, it's Chen Shi (7-9 AM), time to cultivate."

The previously quiet bedroom was suddenly filled with snoring, one snoring sound after another.

"Junior Sister Mu?" Li Yinsheng repeated, raising his voice slightly.

The snoring continued, and even seemed a bit louder.

"Ah...it seems my junior sister cultivated too diligently last night and hasn't woken up yet. I won't wake her up today." Li Yinsheng shook his head and muttered to himself.

The snoring in the room paused for a moment, then resumed as usual.

"It's a pity I can't take her shopping at Baoguang Temple today," Li Yinsheng said, turning to leave. "I wonder when the next shopping trip will be..."

"Senior brother!" a groggy voice came from inside the room. "Are you outside? I just woke up and I think I heard your voice."

"Oh? Junior sister is awake?" Li Yinsheng stopped in his tracks.

"She's awake! She just woke up!" Mu Xiaoyu quickly responded from inside the room.

"Then Junior Sister, please take a bath as soon as possible," Li Yinsheng said. "We still need to go to Baoguang Temple. If you are too slow, I will go by myself."

"I'm going to take a bath right away! Senior brother, wait for me!" As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, a sound like something falling into the water came from inside the room.

……

After a while.

Mu Xiaoyu opened the door, wearing a Taoist robe, her hair still slightly damp: "Senior brother! Let's go!"

"Junior sister, the plan has changed," Li Yinsheng said without changing his expression. "We won't go to Baoguang Temple today; we'll go tomorrow."

Mu Xiaoyu blinked, suddenly having a very bad premonition.

"No problem, I'll go whenever my senior brother says!" Mu Xiaoyu said, quickly turning around and going back into the house. "I'll go back to my room and pack up first..."

"No need," Li Yinsheng said. "Since Junior Sister has already bathed and changed, let's start today's morning exercise. The day's plan starts in the morning."

Mu Xiaoyu froze as she stepped one foot through the door.

"Junior sister, you must also work hard in your cultivation today. After all, we are going to Baoguang Temple tomorrow. If your cultivation is not up to par today, then you will have to stay in the temple to cultivate tomorrow to make up for it."

"Yes..." Mu Xiaoyu slumped her shoulders, turned around and followed Li Yinsheng toward the training ground.

……

late at night.

Li Yinsheng used his telekinesis to carry the half-dead Mu Xiaoyu back.

"Senior brother...why...why...did you...practice for...two extra hours again today...?"

Mu Xiaoyu was placed on a recliner, her eyes looking at Li Yinsheng, devoid of any spirit, empty as if she had already burned out.

"We're going to Baoguang Temple tomorrow, and since it will interfere with my cultivation tomorrow, I definitely have to make up for it today," Li Yinsheng explained confidently.

"Will... will you really go?" Mu Xiaoyu asked, a little worried.

"We definitely have to go. Tomorrow I need to take you to buy a magical artifact that can help you with your cultivation," Li Yinsheng said.

"Support?" Mu Xiaoyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes," Li Yinsheng nodded, "With this magic artifact, you will be able to temper your physique and cultivate your vital energy much faster, and your progress in the first three levels of the Qingxuan True Scripture will be faster."

"Then... can I switch to meditation cultivation more quickly?" Mu Xiaoyu's empty pupils regained focus.

"Of course," Li Yinsheng nodded.

"Wow, this is amazing!" Mu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up immediately. "Senior brother, is that magic weapon expensive? Is the money you gave me enough to buy it?"

"It's not expensive," Li Yinsheng bent down and patted Mu Xiaoyu's head, laughing. "Besides, who said I had to use your money? When my cultivation was very shallow, the Taoist temple provided all my food, clothing, and daily necessities. I'll naturally buy the magic tools for you. You should save your little bit of money for snacks."

Mu Xiaoyu struggled to lift her head, looking at the handsome senior brother who had made her wish she were dead during the day, her eyes filled with complex emotions—

Although this senior brother is very strict, he is really a great person!

……

The next morning.

When Li Yinsheng came again, Mu Xiaoyu was already waiting in the courtyard, her delicate face full of excitement.

"Senior brother, shall we go to Baoguang Temple?" Before Li Yinsheng could even enter the courtyard, Mu Xiaoyu ran up to him and asked expectantly.

"Okay, let's go now, but..." Li Yinsheng glanced down at Mu Xiaoyu, "Before we go, there's something I want to ask my junior sister."

"I brought money, a full two hundred talisman coins!" Mu Xiaoyu took out her purse and showed the talisman pieces mixed with gold and silver leaves inside. "I've kept the rest carefully in my room."

"Heh... two hundred talismans? If you're just buying food, that'll fill several cabinets." Li Yinsheng shook his head and chuckled.

"I didn't say I spent it all," Mu Xiaoyu said somewhat embarrassedly. "I couldn't possibly carry all of it if I really bought that much."

Li Yinsheng patted her head, thinking to himself that he really should buy his junior sister a Qiankun bag while he was at it, otherwise it would be too inconvenient.

Although the Qiankun Bag is not cheap, even the lowest quality one costs thousands of talismans, with his current cultivation level, earning talismans is much easier than before, so there's no need to be stingy with it.

Anyway, since my junior sister is going to embark on the path of cultivation, a Qiankun bag is indispensable, and I'll have to buy one sooner or later.

Moreover, she could use this Qiankun bag as a reward to entice her to cultivate diligently for a few more days—

The Qiankun Bag could not only hold a lot of food for mortals, but it could also preserve it for a long time, which must have been very tempting to her.

After Mu Xiaoyu carefully put away the purse containing the talisman money, Li Yinsheng said, "Junior Sister, what I want to ask you isn't how much talisman money you brought."

"What does Senior Brother want to ask?" Mu Xiaoyu asked, puzzled.

"You must understand, although Baoguang Temple is relatively close to other Taoist temples, it is still separated by more than a dozen mountains and dozens of miles, so we cannot use ordinary methods to get there. Therefore..."

Li Yinsheng lowered his head and looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a smile: "Junior sister, are you afraid of heights?"

Mu Xiaoyu: ? ? ?

After Mu Xiaoyu shook her head in confusion and bewilderment, indicating that she was not afraid of heights, Li Yinsheng stepped forward and grabbed her by the back of her collar.

"Huh?" Mu Xiaoyu asked, sounding even more puzzled.

Li Yinsheng formed a hand seal with one hand and chanted a few incantations that Mu Xiaoyu couldn't understand. Immediately, a gust of wind rose from beneath his feet, causing his clothes to flutter loudly.

The art of manipulating wind!

This is the spell with the highest potential among all the spells Li Yinsheng currently possesses, but it is also the one that requires the most cultivation.

When he was only at the fifth level of the Qingxuan True Scripture, the Tuanfeng Technique could only create a moderate gust of wind in his hands, which was of little use except for ventilating the house.

But now that he has used it again, the wind is more than ten times stronger than before, as if it could lift him and Mu Xiaoyu up at any moment.

However, the wind was always a little short.

The Taoist priest surnamed Zhang who invited him to be his male concubine a few days ago was able to ride the wind with the help of a valuable talisman.

Although Li Yinsheng's cultivation level is now much higher than his, he does not have a treasure like the Fuyou Talisman, which is specifically used for flight. The Tuanfeng Technique is only good at making and controlling the wind. He is not a specialist in any particular field, and besides, he has not practiced this spell for many years.

but……

With a thought, Li Yinsheng channeled a wisp of pure spiritual energy cultivated from the Qingxuan True Scripture from his dantian, adding to the raging wind.

In an instant, the wind rose again, lifting him and Mu Xiaoyu into the sky.

……

Dozens of feet in the air.

Li Yinsheng and Mu Xiaoyu soared through the air, carried by the gale, while the mountains and forests below rushed past like a boundless green river flowing backward.

"Waaaaaahh ...

Mu Xiaoyu's scream echoed through the sky.

"Stop yelling, junior sister," Li Yinsheng said, grabbing Mu Xiaoyu by the back of the neck. Although the strong wind was carrying the two of them, he still held onto Mu Xiaoyu's clothes by the back of her neck. "Didn't you say you weren't afraid of heights?"

"Waaaaah... I'm not afraid of tall buildings, not the sky, senior brother!"

Mu Xiaoyu clung tightly to Li Yinsheng's wide sleeves, her eyes closed, the whistling wind filling her ears.

"If Junior Sister is really afraid of heights, I do have a solution," Li Yinsheng said with a smile.

"Senior brother, tell me quickly!" Mu Xiaoyu gripped Li Yinsheng's sleeve even tighter.

"I also know a magic trick called Armored Horse Technique. After casting the spell, I can traverse mountains and valleys as if walking on flat ground, and I can travel faster in the mountains and forests than a fine horse galloping on the official road," Li Yinsheng said with a smile. "But this means that my junior sister will have to work hard to run the remaining dozens of miles."

Before his cultivation level improved, he always traveled like this—first he would use the Armored Horse Technique to empower himself, and then he would use the Wind-Riding Technique to ride the wind and borrow strength. It wasn't slow, but it couldn't compare to traveling through the air like this.

He didn't mind running on the ground, after all, that's how he spent the first ten years of his life.

But after spending these past few days together, based on his understanding of this junior female student...

Mu Xiaoyu was still trembling, but she still spoke without hesitation.

"No need, Senior Brother. Flying in the sky is fine. How can I waste your time just because I'm afraid of heights? Let's fly there!"

Li Yinsheng: ...

……

In the morning, at Jinyu Peak, in front of Baoguang Temple.

The wind came down from the sky, and Li Yinsheng grabbed Mu Xiaoyu by the back of her collar, landing steadily in the weakening wind.

Mu Xiaoyu staggered.

Then, her legs went weak, and she opened her eyes, looked at what was in front of her, and then involuntarily opened her mouth wide: "Wow..."

For a moment, she even wondered if her senior brother had gone to the wrong place.

What we're standing here isn't a Taoist temple at all; it's clearly a market during a temple fair!

Bluestone slabs covered everything in sight, with dozens of shops scattered across them, creating several wide stone-paved paths. Many stalls were set up along the paths, and some stalls were simply a cloth spread on the ground with the stall owners sitting on the ground.

If it weren't for looking outwards and seeing several verdant mountain peaks in the surrounding area, Mu Xiaoyu would have truly believed that her senior brother had taken her to that mortal city.

Although my senior brother had said that Baoguang Temple was a place to buy things, but... there is only a market in front of us, so where is the "temple"?

"Senior brother, is this Baoguang Temple?" Mu Xiaoyu still couldn't quite believe it.

"Yes," Li Yinsheng patted her shoulder and laughed, "Baoguang Temple is located at the very back, hidden by these shops. But people who come here aren't here for Baoguang Temple itself, they're here for these shops and stalls."

"It looks completely different from our Xuanzhen Temple," Mu Xiaoyu said innocently.

"Ahem," Li Yinsheng coughed lightly, "It's normal for different Taoist temples to look different because they have very different styles."

"Mmm," Mu Xiaoyu nodded, not thinking about anything else. Now that she had recovered, all she could think about was food. "Senior brother, let's go inside quickly! I want to buy lots of delicious food!"

"Wait a moment."

Li Yinsheng called out to her, and under Mu Xiaoyu's questioning gaze, he took out a black bamboo hat from his Qiankun bag and put it on his head. A black veil hung down around the hat, completely covering his face.

Mu Xiaoyu paused for a few moments, then asked nervously, "Senior brother, are we going in to steal something?"

Li Yinsheng flicked Mu Xiaoyu's forehead with his hand, producing a loud thud like a wooden fish: "Of course not!"

"Ugh..." Mu Xiaoyu covered her head, "You're not stealing anything because your enemies are inside, Senior Brother?"

"No, not exactly." Li Yinsheng shook his head.

"Why is that?" Mu Xiaoyu couldn't figure it out.

"It's to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Li Yinsheng didn't elaborate, but shook his head and said, "Actually, showing your face won't cause any big trouble, but it's always more convenient not to show your face. So, it's better to avoid trouble."

"Ah..." Mu Xiaoyu didn't understand.

But Li Yinsheng had already started walking towards the market at Baoguang Temple, and Mu Xiaoyu put her doubts aside and followed Li Yinsheng in step by step.
